<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-d1|'''Stealth Lockdown''' (Multi-pack, 2008)}}</ul>

: Part of a [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] multi-pack, [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends-class]] Bumblebee transforms into a sub-compact in just a few simple steps.

: He came in the "[[Lockdown (Animated)#Stealth|Stealth Lockdown]]" set, which also included a Legends-class version of [[Optimus Prime (Animated)/toys#Legends Class|Optimus Prime]]. The Legends toys are ''almost'' identical to their individually carded ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' mass-retail versions ([[#Universe (2008)|see below]]), having mostly minor deco differences; this Bumblebee has silver painted windows, a silver [[Autobot]] [[insignia|faction symbol]] and a darker gray face.

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Derrick J. Wyatt]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Bumblebee transforms from a small yellow hatchback with a single red flasher to a scrappy robot with a smirk on his face. In both robot and car mode, his two [[turbo booster]] rockets can be attached on his back. Promotional images showed the rockets with red-painted tips, which was not in the final product.

[[File:AnimatedDeluxeBumblebeeJapan.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|A gold Bumblebee, but not [[:File:TF2010-toy Legends Gold Bumblebee.jpg|Gold Bumblebee]]. ''(TakaraTomy version pictured)'']]

: In robot mode, each forearm has a flip-out "stinger" half to replicate his on-screen hand-blasters, which can also be pegged together for his double-handed attack. Early releases of this toy have support struts inside his forearms that ensure durability but prevent the stingers from receding all the way back into his arms. The later releases of the toy fix this problem. There have also been some complaints that the socket in his left arm tends to crack easily, which makes the arm impossible to pose.

: Amusingly, flipping his bumper up in his alt-mode works like a tiny trunk.

: The TakaraTomy release of this toy, part of the first wave their [[Transformers Animated (toyline)#TakaraTomy Animated toyline|''Animated'' toyline]], was given a shiny, metallic coat of gold paint as opposed to the flat yellow of the original Hasbro release, and a red and white Autobot symbol instead of a silver one. Despite what the stock photos present, this release uses the amended forearms.

: This mold was also used to make [[#EliteGuard|"Elite Guard" Bumblebee]], and was supposed to be used for the canceled [[Wasp#Fugitive|Fugitive Waspinator]].

: A [[redeco]] of [[#Deluxe|Deluxe Bumblebee]], this figure represents Bumblebee after getting Sari to help paint him up in [[Elite Guard]] deco as part of his anticipated ascension into their ranks. Dare to dream! He retains all the play-gimmicks of the original, though his arms have been slightly [[retool]]ed to allow the stingers to recede fully.

: The [[Hasbro]] stock photography and [[package art]] for this toy [[:File:Deluxeeliteguardbumblebee.jpg|depict "Elite Guard" Bumblebee with his normal yellow helmet]]. However, the actual toy has a black helmet due to the plastic color layouts.

: The Takara release of this figure, released in the sixth wave of toys, added metallic gold paint to the robot mode, replacing some portions that had been yellow or black, including Bumblebee's helmet (making the toy look more like the Hasbro stock photography in the process). It also replaced Bumblebee's silver and black Elite Guard symbols with more traditional red and white ones.

: The Hasbro release of this toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Wireless Automated Sales Person]].

: In the Takara ''Animated'' line, Bumblebee was also available in a "Speed of Sound Showdown" (音速の対決, ''onsoku no taiketsu'', also called "Blazing Bullets" on English on the box-back) two-pack with [[Starscream (Animated)#Toys|Starscream]].

====Voyager Class====
[[File:Ani-toy BumblebeeJetpack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Size classes now mean smaller figures with accessories? [[War_for_Cybertron_Trilogy_(toyline)|Ridiculous!]]]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Jetpack Bumblebee''' (Voyager, 2010)}}</ul>
:*''ID number'': '''TA-39'''
:*''Release date'': [[September 18]], 2010
:*''Accessories'': Jetpack, 2 rocket boosters, 2 electro-trails

: Released in the eighth wave of TakaraTomy's ''Animated'' line, "Jetpack Bumblebee" is smaller and less complex than his Deluxe toy, and lacking his built-in "stinger" weapons. In keeping with the first TakaraTomy Bumblebee toy, he is cast in lightly-metallic gold plastic, and his car panels and head have been extensively painted over in shiny metallic gold paint. His twin rocket boosters (which have electric "exhaust" trails) can slot into his robot mode back as a small jetpack, or on his doors/forearms; in robot mode they can be turned around as substitute stingers, while in car mode they can serve their normal booster function, though there are clearance issues with the rear wheel hubs. They'll stay in, but only just barely.

[[File:Ani-toy HydrodiveBumblebee.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1| (''Unreleased Hasbro version'')]]

: The toy's namesake Jetpack (and the reason why this toy is a Voyager-class package) is a large vehicle/armor that Bumblebee can use in both vehicle and robot mode; it's actually possible to transform Bumblebee and the Jetpack between modes while still keeping them connected. The nosecone/canopy section has a pair of pivoting, non-removable "Stinger Rifles" with handles that Bee can "grip" when using the Jetpack in robot mode. The wings also have slots underneath to fit the rocket boosters. The electro-trails on the Jetpack's tailfins can actually be removed (and are the same mold as the ones set into the rocket boosters, but the boosters' trails are permanently attached) though there's really not anyplace else to put them.

: Oddly, the toy's instructions do not show the boosters' arm-mounted use, or the Jetpack's electro-trails ''at all'' outside of the stock photography at the top, and that's only when the Jetpack is in vehicle-mode orientation.

: This toy was originally intended to be released late in Hasbro's ''Animated'' toyline under the name '''Hydrodrive Bumblebee''', but that release was ultimately canceled. This unreleased toy would have had the usual differences from TakraTomy's later offerings: namely matte base plastics with a silver Autobot symbol, plus unpainted black rifles. The stock photography for this release ''also'' does not show the Jetpack's thruster-exhausts in any mode.
{{-}}

====Activators====
[[File:Activators Bumblebee toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He's a Bumblevator—or is it Actibee?]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Activator, 2008)}}</ul>
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of [[Activators]], this small version of Bumblebee [[autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from vehicle to robot mode via spring-loaded releases when you press his top-mounted police light. Interestingly enough, this toy is probably the closest to "proper" scale in robot mode when compared to the Deluxe Prowl and Ratchet, the Voyager Optimus, and Leader Bulkhead. Like the Deluxe class toy, Bumblebee was intended to be molded with a benign sideways smirk on his face, but at this small of scale the effect does not come off as intended, leaving Bumblebee looking rather more like he's grimacing. Furthermore, his insignia is ''also'' grimacing; for some reason this toy was given the [[:File:Live action Autobot insignia.png|movie Autobot "angry eyes" insignia]], rather than the standard "neutral expression" insignia found on most other ''Animated'' Autobots. Add him to the list of Transformers who just need a hug. And furthermore, the prototypes seen in the packaging lacks the insignia.

: If the robot-to-vehicle method is not transformed correctly, it's kinda difficult to connect his side door panels firmly with the feet/front hood while converting into vehicle mode, as they are held by fairly strong springs. Also, the red-painted button is prone to chipping.

: This mold was later [[retool]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (Animated)#Toys|Cliffjumper]].

{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

: Released in the third wave of Activators, this police-themed redeco of Activators Bumblebee gets a full-on black-and-white deco with "PATROL" lettering across his doors.

: He has the normal yellow helmet, however.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1d1|'''Shockwave VS Bumblebee''' (Multipack, 2009)}}</ul>

: This release of Activators Bumblebee is nearly identical to the individual release version, but his faction symbol is now the "normal" version, rather than the slightly-different "movie" version. You probably didn't notice. We don't blame you.

: He came in a [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] pack with a purple redeco of Voyager [[Shockwave (Animated)#Target|Shockwave]].

[[File:Animated-toy BattlefieldBumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Battlefield Bumblebee''' (Activators, 2010)}}</ul>

: Released in the seventh wave of Activators, this redeco features spiffy silver detailing similar to [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee]]'s white stripes and an oddly large Autobot insignia.

:*''Release date'': [[October 2]], 2010

: Released on [[October 2]]nd in Japan, the "Animated Super Collection Vol. 2" giftset contained slight redecos of Activators Bumblebee, [[Bulkhead (Animated)#Activators|Bulkhead]], [[Grimlock (Animated)#Activators|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (Animated)#Activators|Starscream]]. Bumblebee's insignia went from silver to a more traditional red and white.

: While the [[stock photography]] of the individual toys showed Animated Super Collection Bumblebee as being more orange-y than its American counterpart, this seems to have been a trick of the lighting, as the released toy remained its standard yellow.

====Bumper Battlers====

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Bumper Battlers, 2008)}}</ul>
{{toydesigner|[[Vickie Stratford]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of [[Bumper Battlers]], this very simple version of Bumblebee is meant for the much younger set. About the same size as the Deluxe Bumblebee in car mode, pressing the Autobot [[insignia|faction symbol]] on his hood activates the toy's sound feature, using a seemingly randomized assortment of sound effects and original voice samples from [[Bumper Robinson]]. Pressing the car mode's front bumper in activates the simple spring-loaded one-step transformation to robot mode... "properly" activated by using the toy's [[pull-back motor]] [[gimmick]] to propel it forward into an obstacle.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Cyber Speed Bumblebee''' ([[Power Bots]], 2008)}}</ul>
{{toydesigner|[[Vickie Stratford]] (Hasbro)}}

: A large, non-transforming figure of Bumblebee in bulky, child-friendly form. He comes with lights and sounds, including a stinger sound on the right arm, which has the stinger deployed, and a "punching" sound and extending fist on the left.

: He also speaks a slew of phrases, including "Bring it on, Decepticons!" and "Hi, I'm Bumblebee!", again using Bumper Robinson voice clips.

: He is, of course, utterly adorable.

: A redeco of the above toy, this Bumblebee is the same base colors, but has much more extensive and elaborate striping all over, now in dark blue rather than black, plus he has red "hazard" stripes on his stinger arm. Exciting!

: While the movie and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his movie and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble. Just different enough to make you mad!

: It is currently unknown if this release has the molded support struts from the first release of the mold or not.

: A simple version of Bumblebee with a very simple transformation sequence, one of six toys available as part of the McDonald's ''Transformers Animated'' promotion (held concurrently with the ''Littlest Pet Shop'' promo). His vehicle mode is accurate to the show, and his robot mode is reasonably accurate, although rather on the "bulky" side.

: This is a very simplistic version of Bumblebee, converting from non-articulated robot mode to a "folded" robot with three wheels (which is a very non-show-accurate alt-mode). Like the [[Jumpstarter#Toys|Jumpstarter]] toys, he features a pull-back motor in vehicle mode that propels him forward on smooth surfaces; after a short run the latch that keeps his spring-loaded legs releases, causing him to flip forward and into upright robot mode.

: Like the rest of his assortment, this Bumblebee was only available in Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela.

: Part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Diablock]]'' [[LEGO|Lego]]-alike building block line, Bumblebee is a buildable action figure. As with other Diablock ''Transformers'' sets, he can transform between modes without needing to be disassembled. The end results are... uh... interesting. Let's go with that.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: United]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is a ''Generations''-styled, more complex version of the character that transforms into a yellow police hatchback. Bumblebee comes with his turbo boosters, which can be pegged onto his back in robot mode or the sides of his vehicle mode.

: Also included are his signature stinger weapons, which can be combined with the aforementioned boosters to be used as handheld weapons (or as "boost" effects), but they can also be attached to his arms by flipping the hands around, recreating the gimmick from the original ''Animated'' Deluxe figure. Unfortunately the ports on his wrists are angled specifically for the combined stinger attack, so using the two stingers separately looks rather awkward.

: While sold as a Deluxe, he ends up about the size of the ''Animated'' Activators toy. Yowza. Bumblebee's diminutive stature is in an effort to scale with other ''Legacy Animated Universe'' characters, such as [[Prowl (Animated)#Legacy|Prowl]] and [[Optimus Prime (Animated)/toys#Legacy|Optimus Prime]].

: This mold was also used to make [[wasp#Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes Fugitive Waspinator]]

{{toydesigner|[[Eric Siebenaler]] (Hasbro), [[Alex Kubalsky]] (TakaraTomy)|[[Derrick J. Wyatt]] (concept artist)}}

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Bumblebee transforms from a small yellow hatchback with a single red flasher to a scrappy robot with a smirk on his face. In both robot and car mode, his two [[turbo booster]] rockets can be attached on his back. Promotional images showed the rockets with red-painted tips, which was not in the final product.

[[File:AnimatedDeluxeBumblebeeJapan.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1|A gold Bumblebee, but not [[:File:TF2010-toy Legends Gold Bumblebee.jpg|Gold Bumblebee]]. ''(TakaraTomy version pictured)'']]

: In robot mode, each forearm has a flip-out "stinger" half to replicate his on-screen hand-blasters, which can also be pegged together for his double-handed attack. Early releases of this toy have support struts inside his forearms that ensure durability but prevent the stingers from receding all the way back into his arms. The later releases of the toy fix this problem. There have also been some complaints that the socket in his left arm tends to crack easily, which makes the arm impossible to pose.

: Amusingly, flipping his bumper up in his alt-mode works like a tiny trunk.

: The TakaraTomy release of this toy, part of the first wave their [[Transformers Animated (toyline)#TakaraTomy Animated toyline|''Animated'' toyline]], was given a shiny, metallic coat of gold paint as opposed to the flat yellow of the original Hasbro release, and a red and white Autobot symbol instead of a silver one. Despite what the stock photos present, this release uses the amended forearms.

: This mold was also used to make [[#EliteGuard|"Elite Guard" Bumblebee]], and was supposed to be used for the canceled [[Wasp#Fugitive|Fugitive Waspinator]].

: A [[redeco]] of [[#Deluxe|Deluxe Bumblebee]], this figure represents Bumblebee after getting Sari to help paint him up in [[Elite Guard]] deco as part of his anticipated ascension into their ranks.

====Voyager Class====

:*''ID number'': '''TA-39'''
:*''Release date'': [[September 18]], 2010
:*''Accessories'': Jetpack, 2 rocket boosters, 2 electro-trails

: Released in the eighth wave of TakaraTomy's ''Animated'' line, "Jetpack Bumblebee" is smaller and less complex than his Deluxe toy, and lacking his built-in "stinger" weapons. In keeping with the first TakaraTomy Bumblebee toy, he is cast in lightly-metallic gold plastic, and his car panels and head have been extensively painted over in shiny metallic gold paint. His twin rocket boosters (which have electric "exhaust" trails) can slot into his robot mode back as a small jetpack, or on his doors/forearms; in robot mode they can be turned around as substitute stingers, while in car mode they can serve their normal booster function, though there are clearance issues with the rear wheel hubs. They'll stay in, but only just barely.

[[File:Ani-toy HydrodiveBumblebee.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1| (''Unreleased Hasbro version'')]]

: The toy's namesake Jetpack (and the reason why this toy is a Voyager-class package) is a large vehicle/armor that Bumblebee can use in both vehicle and robot mode; it's actually possible to transform Bumblebee and the Jetpack between modes while still keeping them connected. The nosecone/canopy section has a pair of pivoting, non-removable "Stinger Rifles" with handles that Bee can "grip" when using the Jetpack in robot mode. The wings also have slots underneath to fit the rocket boosters. The electro-trails on the Jetpack's tailfins can actually be removed (and are the same mold as the ones set into the rocket boosters, but the boosters' trails are permanently attached) though there's really not anyplace else to put them.

: Oddly, the toy's instructions do not show the boosters' arm-mounted use, or the Jetpack's electro-trails ''at all'' outside of the stock photography at the top, and that's only when the Jetpack is in vehicle-mode orientation.

: This toy was originally intended to be released late in Hasbro's ''Animated'' toyline under the name '''Hydrodrive Bumblebee''', but that release was ultimately canceled. This unreleased toy would have had the usual differences from TakraTomy's later offerings: namely matte base plastics with a silver Autobot symbol, plus unpainted black rifles. The stock photography for this release ''also'' does not show the Jetpack's thruster-exhausts in any mode.

<ul class="iconlist">{{Bp-a1|'''Bumblebee''' (Activator, 2008)}}</ul>
{{toydesigner|[[Bill Rawley]] (Hasbro)}}

: Part of the first wave of [[Activators]], this small version of Bumblebee [[autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from vehicle to robot mode via spring-loaded releases when you press his top-mounted police light. Interestingly enough, this toy is probably the closest to "proper" scale in robot mode when compared to the Deluxe Prowl and Ratchet, the Voyager Optimus, and Leader Bulkhead. Like the Deluxe class toy, Bumblebee was intended to be molded with a benign sideways smirk on his face, but at this small of scale the effect does not come off as intended, leaving Bumblebee looking rather more like he's grimacing. Furthermore, his insignia is ''also'' grimacing; for some reason this toy was given the [[:File:Live action Autobot insignia.png|movie Autobot "angry eyes" insignia]], rather than the standard "neutral expression" insignia found on most other ''Animated'' Autobots. Add him to the list of Transformers who just need a hug. And furthermore, the prototypes seen in the packaging lacks the insignia.

: If the robot-to-vehicle method is not transformed correctly, it's kinda difficult to connect his side door panels firmly with the feet/front hood while converting into vehicle mode, as they are held by fairly strong springs. Also, the red-painted button is prone to chipping.

: This mold was later [[retool]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (Animated)#Toys|Cliffjumper]].

About the same size as the Deluxe Bumblebee in car mode, pressing the Autobot [[insignia|faction symbol]] on his hood activates the toy's sound feature, using a seemingly randomized assortment of sound effects and original voice samples from [[Bumper Robinson]]. Pressing the car mode's front bumper in activates the simple spring-loaded one-step transformation to robot mode... "properly" activated by using the toy's [[pull-back motor]] [[gimmick]] to propel it forward into an obstacle.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: United]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Bumblebee is a ''Generations''-styled, more complex version of the character that transforms into a yellow police hatchback. Bumblebee comes with his turbo boosters, which can be pegged onto his back in robot mode or the sides of his vehicle mode.

: Also included are his signature stinger weapons, which can be combined with the aforementioned boosters to be used as handheld weapons (or as "boost" effects), but they can also be attached to his arms by flipping the hands around, recreating the gimmick from the original ''Animated'' Deluxe figure. Unfortunately the ports on his wrists are angled specifically for the combined stinger attack, so using the two stingers separately looks rather awkward.

: While sold as a Deluxe, he ends up about the size of the ''Animated'' Activators toy. Yowza. Bumblebee's diminutive stature is in an effort to scale with other ''Legacy Animated Universe'' characters, such as [[Prowl (Animated)#Legacy|Prowl]] and [[Optimus Prime (Animated)/toys#Legacy|Optimus Prime]].

:''Wasp is an [[Autobot]]-turned-[[Decepticon]] from the [[Animated continuity family]].''

[[File:WaspAnimated-botmodel.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|Wasp and Bee. Obvious, with hindsight.]]

'''Wasp''' is a lot like [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]... physically, at least. Built from the same chassis and sharing many of the same specifications and subroutines, the two Autobots attended boot camp together. Wasp's pompous, smarmy personality leaves something to be desired, but he had a lot going for him as a soldier, being highly skilled in the use of his stingers and knowing just how to toe the line with the drill sergeant. In a better life, he might have been [[Elite Guard]] commander material.

''Might'' have.

These days, though, Wasp is a broken bot, mentally unstable and on the run from the Autobots who have branded him a traitor. And, thanks to [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s experimentation, he's been reformatted into '''Waspinator''', a high-powered, techno-organic monstrosity. What little remains of his mind is focused on just one goal... destroying Bumblebee, the bot who ruined his life!

{{bigquote|You were always mean to me and Bumblebee. You may not be a traitor... but you were ''never'' a good bot.|[[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] tells Wasp off|"[[Where Is Thy Sting?]]"}}

[[File:WaspAutobot.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|This can't end well.]]

Wasp was a cadet in the same group as Bumblebee, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] and [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm]]. Right away, Wasp took a dislike to Bumblebee, insulting him out of the blue as the yellow bot mused to himself about his future in the Elite Guard. He also dubbed Bulkhead a "[[Mudflap (slang)|mudflap]]," much to the amusement of his fellow cadets. The loud-mouthed drill sergeant [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Minor]] took an immediate liking to "Wasp," as he dubbed him due to being impressed with his accuracy with his stingers–it was Bumblebee "bumbling" in trying to compete with this that led to his own name being assigned. Wasp and Ironhide quickly became close friends, often competing in little tests of strength, usually involving Wasp hitting or stinging Ironhide while the latter was in armor mode.

After Bumblebee "bumbled" several more times, leading to many [[transform-up]]s for the whole group, Wasp and Ironhide decided to take matters into their own hands, unscrewing Bumblebee's lower legs and leaving them out of reach even before they dumped the rest of him in a locker.

Unbeknown to Wasp, however, the reason for Bumblebee's foul-ups was that he was trying to out a traitor in the group—and had pegged Wasp as the likely culprit after seeing him walk out of a hangar in which someone had contacted [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. (Plus, let's face it, he was a complete jerk. And [[Decepticon]]s are jerks, [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|right?]]) At Longarm's prompting, Bumblebee eventually found evidence incriminating Wasp as a spy. Wasp was stripped of his Autobot insignia and wheeled away, protesting his innocence and swearing revenge on Bumblebee.

[[File:WaspAnimated2.jpg|thumb|Wasp was once a 'Bot...]]

Many years later, Wasp escaped from Autobot custody and apparently eluded the now-Sentinel Prime by jumping through a [[space bridge]]. What was left of Wasp hid beneath the bridge as Sentinel left, [[Waspinator (BW)|buzzing and twittering to himself]], still swearing revenge on "Bumblebot." In reality, however, the innocent bot—broken mentally by his years of imprisonment—had been set up with evidence planted by "Longarm," who had also arranged Wasp's "escape" to divert suspicion from himself. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

Needless to say, when the truth was revealed to Bumblebee by his old "friend," Longarm Prime (aka the Decepticon Shockwave), he took it pretty hard. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

Wasp headed straight for the Autobots' base on Earth, with Sentinel Prime and [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] in pursuit. Waiting until Bumblebee was left alone on monitor duty (and actually playing ''[[Ninja Gladiator]]'' instead), he struck during a power outage, knocking Bumblebee cold and switching color schemes, helmets and even speech synthesizers with his rival. When Bumblebee came to, the others had returned and had him prisoner, with the disguised Wasp at their side. Despite Bumblebee's muffled cries, the Autobots fell for Wasp's ruse, forcing Bumblebee to flee into the night. Wasp stayed behind as the others tracked Bumblebee down, allowing him to try beating Bumblebee's video game and to search through Bumblebee's personal files.

[[File:WhereIsThySting-Bumblebeecreepilydefeated.jpg|left|thumb|Bee-st Wars!]]

When the others returned, joined by Sentinel, Jazz, [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]], Wasp was able to recount several of Bumblebee's adventures which were logged in his files to keep the Autobots confused as to which bot was which. Unfortunately for Wasp, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] proposed the two battle against each other in ''Ninja Gladiator'', so that Bumblebee's video game skills would be readily apparent and the traitor revealed. Before their video game could begin, Wasp panicked and attacked Bumblebee, holding him hostage so he could make his escape. Wasp left Bumblebee with one final indignity, turning off the [[electronic paint job]] he'd installed in Bee and stealing his helmet back... tricking Bulkhead into pummeling the real Bumblebee while Wasp fled. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

The Autobots continued to pursue an erratic Wasp, though for different reasons: Sentinel Prime was still commanding the Elite Guard to bring him in on suspicion of treason, while Optimus and Bumblebee just wanted to help him (or at least keep him from damaging himself and bystanders during his crazed flight). In the midst of a pursuit through the streets of Detroit, Bumblebee tried once again to convince Wasp that he was now known to be innocent and was set up by Longarm, but Wasp refused to listen. During the chase, Wasp was suddenly abducted by [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]], who carried him to [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]].

[[File:PredaconsRising Waspinator.jpg|thumb|"Wazzpinator is back...and Wazzpinator tired of being comic relief."]]

Wasp soon found himself in [[Meltdown (Animated)|Meltdown]]'s old underground lab going ga-ga over [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]. The spiderbot used her feminine wiles and familiar-sounding sob stories of Autobot betrayal to win Wasp's trust, and she convinced him to undergo an organic power augmentation procedure by impressing him with the ferocity of her own [[beast mode]] (while shielding him from seeing the disfigured mutant corpses left behind from her prior experiments). Wasp entered one [[unspace|transwarp]] chamber, a real organic wasp was put into another, and out came... Waspinator, three times larger than before, with more powerful energy "stings" and a deeper, heavily processed, voice. Waspinator also now sported a Decepticon insignia, indicating a final break away from the Autobots on his part.

When he was finally tracked down by Bumblebee, who apologized to him and wanted to be his friend, he decided that while "Wasp" forgave his former accuser, "Waspinator" preferred violent revenge. Talk about Jekyll and Hyde. But before Waspinator could deliver the final blow, he overheard Blackarachnia admitting to the Autobots that she only viewed her new "friend" as another experimental attempt to cure her own organic infection. Irate at yet another betrayal, Waspinator started attacking everybody—and if that wasn't scary enough, his transwarp energy became unstable. Just as Waspinator reached critical mass, Blackarachnia sealed them both within a cocoon of her energy webbing, containing the explosion of transwarp energy.

[[File:TFAni Predacons Rising Waspinator Hazz Planzzz.jpg|thumb|left|Some assembly required.]]

While only a crater was left on Dinobot Island, Waspinator and Blackarachnia were teleported by the transwarp energy to an unknown jungle. Although reduced to pieces by the explosion, Waspinator was still functional, and slowly began putting himself back together. After all, he couldn't go offline yet... because "Wazzzpinator hazz planzzz!" {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Animated)|Predacons Rising}}

: Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Waspinator transforms from a techno-organic wasp into a techno-organic, four-armed, winged robot. In both modes, a lever on the thorax flaps his wings back and forth via spring-loaded internal gearing mechanism.

: Takara also released Waspinator in the seventh wave of their [[Transformers Animated (toyline)#TakaraTomy Animated toyline|''Animated'' toyline]] years later. Waspinator is mostly the same, though the silver paint on his insect-mode head has been expanded down to his mouthparts, plus his Decepticon symbol is now colored purple with a white outline, rather than the Hasbro version's plain gold.

:''Wasp is an [[Autobot]]-turned-[[Decepticon]] from the [[Animated continuity family]].''

[[File:WaspAnimated-botmodel.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|Wasp and Bee. Obvious, with hindsight.]]

'''Wasp''' is a lot like [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]... physically, at least. Built from the same chassis and sharing many of the same specifications and subroutines, the two Autobots attended boot camp together. Wasp's pompous, smarmy personality leaves something to be desired, but he had a lot going for him as a soldier, being highly skilled in the use of his stingers and knowing just how to toe the line with the drill sergeant. In a better life, he might have been [[Elite Guard]] commander material.

''Might'' have.

These days, though, Wasp is a broken bot, mentally unstable and on the run from the Autobots who have branded him a traitor. And, thanks to [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s experimentation, he's been reformatted into '''Waspinator''', a high-powered, techno-organic monstrosity. What little remains of his mind is focused on just one goal... destroying Bumblebee, the bot who ruined his life!

[[File:WaspAutobot.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|This can't end well.]]

Wasp was a cadet in the same group as Bumblebee, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] and [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm]]. Right away, Wasp took a dislike to Bumblebee, insulting him out of the blue as the yellow bot mused to himself about his future in the Elite Guard. He also dubbed Bulkhead a "[[Mudflap (slang)|mudflap]]," much to the amusement of his fellow cadets. The loud-mouthed drill sergeant [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Minor]] took an immediate liking to "Wasp," as he dubbed him due to being impressed with his accuracy with his stingers–it was Bumblebee "bumbling" in trying to compete with this that led to his own name being assigned. Wasp and Ironhide quickly became close friends, often competing in little tests of strength, usually involving Wasp hitting or stinging Ironhide while the latter was in armor mode.

After Bumblebee "bumbled" several more times, leading to many [[transform-up]]s for the whole group, Wasp and Ironhide decided to take matters into their own hands, unscrewing Bumblebee's lower legs and leaving them out of reach even before they dumped the rest of him in a locker.

Unbeknown to Wasp, however, the reason for Bumblebee's foul-ups was that he was trying to out a traitor in the group—and had pegged Wasp as the likely culprit after seeing him walk out of a hangar in which someone had contacted [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. (Plus, let's face it, he was a complete jerk. And [[Decepticon]]s are jerks, [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|right?]]) At Longarm's prompting, Bumblebee eventually found evidence incriminating Wasp as a spy. Wasp was stripped of his Autobot insignia and wheeled away, protesting his innocence and swearing revenge on Bumblebee.

[[File:WaspAnimated2.jpg|thumb|Wasp was once a 'Bot...]]

Many years later, Wasp escaped from Autobot custody and apparently eluded the now-Sentinel Prime by jumping through a [[space bridge]]. What was left of Wasp hid beneath the bridge as Sentinel left, [[Waspinator (BW)|buzzing and twittering to himself]], still swearing revenge on "Bumblebot."

:''Sky Lynx is the most magnificent [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Sky lynx.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Twice the bot, twice the ego.]]

'''Sky Lynx''' is the unbelievably talented, unsurpassably skilled, and altogether magnificent robot behind most of the greatest, most adventurous, and most daring moments in all of Autobot history. At least, if you ask Sky Lynx, that is. Not that he isn't a skilled, fast, and powerful warrior, well deserving of his rank as [[Lieutenant Commander]]—he most certainly is all those things—he's just a bit too eager to tell you about it. At length. However, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|his]] [[Hot Rod (G1)|superiors]] recognize his undeniable skill and tolerate his ego. [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] has nicknamed him "Commander Modesty."

Sky Lynx's unusual form grants him several abilities. As a shuttle, he can easily travel between star systems and carry passengers as well. When transformed, he can split himself into two autonomous components: a walking lynx and a flying bird-creature. His two components can also combine into a larger and more powerful lynx-bird-creature. In some universes, he can [[Combiner|combine]] to form [[Sky Reign]].

When disguised as a Space Shuttle, Sky Lynx sometimes goes by ''Magnificence'' as his actual name.

Even that was not enough to stop the mighty Sky Lynx, as in his lynx form, he proved instrumental in getting the new [[transformation cog]] to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], trouncing many a Decepticon along the way. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

A [[Quintesson]] once used Sky Lynx's sublime appearance as a disguise. Somehow [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] was unable to tell the difference between the real thing and a vastly inferior illusion and stepped on board. He surely recognized his mistake in the aftermath of the adventure, when the genuine Sky Lynx ferried him with Marissa Faireborn back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (episode)|The Killing Jar}}

[[File:Chaos SkyLynx dodgecrystals.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|"I warned ya, bird-bot! I warned ya about them cosmic rays!" "Oh, hush, Grimm. I'm already fantastic."]]
When the Autobots investigated into the destruction of a [[Earth Defense Command|provincial human law enforcement]] space station, Sky Lynx deigned to flawlessly transport [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|a doddering old fool]], [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|that speech-impaired imbecile]] and his friends to the filthy planet [[Goo 8739B|Goo]]. During the course of this investigation, Sky Lynx was forced to save his comrades from [[Blast Off (G1)|a pale imitation of himself]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|a mere hooligan]], who had somehow obtained [[death crystal]]s. Sky Lynx carried his team to [[Dread (planet)|Dread]], where he was again forced to intercede, rescuing Blurr from a swamp while simultaneously leading the counter offensive against the Predacons. Did they not learn their last painful lesson in humility on Io? They made another attempt during the battle at [[Queeg Mountain]], but even as Sky Lynx attempted to enlighten them on the error of their ways, a lucky shot destroyed the rock he was standing on. Naturally Sky Lynx suffered only minor damage, and he was about to execute his usual daring nick-of-time rescue for Kup and the [[Dread slaves|slaves]] as the mountain erupted. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

Sky Lynx lent his skill and finesse to the assault on [[Paradron]] after the planet was conquered by the Decepticons. His spacious cargo bay was used to transport a stockpile of guns to the captive Paradonians, so that they could join Sky Lynx as he valiantly fought for their freedom. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} Upon the discovery of [[dinosaur transform static]] at the scene of Fort Knox's apparent theft, Sky Lynx was forced to endure a humiliating trial in [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex's]] ill-conceived kangaroo court, merely because, as [[Six-Gun|that unrefined, multi-gunned cowboy]] put it, Sky Lynx had [[Dinosaur transform static|dinosaur electrons]] in his body. Be that as it may, did he have to be lumped together with [[Dinobot (G1)|such unsuitable company]] when he could be effortlessly tracking down and bringing [[Trypticon (G1)|the real culprit]] to justice? {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

[[File:Webworld Sky Lynx.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.45| "Does this make my backside look big?"]]
While his beauty was gracing the entrance to a peace conference, Sky Lynx was approached by Ultra Magnus, who needed a ride to some dingy asteroid or other to save the galaxy. Sky Lynx took him there and helped him fight off a small swarm of some disgusting alien parasites. Unfortunately he was unable to fit through the corridors of the storage asteroid and thus couldn't help defeat the Decepticons, but he could at least take Ultra Magnus, Wheelie and Daniel to safety before the asteroid exploded. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} After Sky Lynx dropped Kup and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] off at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], there was a dreadful kerfuffle resulting in him transporting a group of Autobots to [[Unicron]]'s head. While he was parked outside, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] attacked, and Sky Lynx was forced to retreat to a safe distance, from where he was later able to swoop in and rescue Ultra Magnus and his team. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}} During an [[isidrite]] mining operation, Sky Lynx alerted his fellows to incoming Decepticons. A brief battled ensued, in which Galvatron claimed more Decepticon casualties than the Autobots, and Sky Lynx suggested they strategically withdraw with what isidrite they'd gathered. They swiftly did so, leaving the Decepticons to bicker. {{storylink|Webworld}}

[[File:BigBroadcast SkyLynx rescue Superion.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|"And that is why I am far superior to the Aerialbots. Including you, Slingshot." "YOU LIE!"]]
During a journey to through the [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] sector, Sky Lynx came under attack by [[Astrotrain (G1)|another pretender to the shuttle throne]]. The two proceeded to engage in combat, until both were fired upon by the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]]. Though the Junkions posed no threat to one of Sky Lynx's skill, he recognized that their actions were out of place, and sped with all possible haste back to Cybertron, informing [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] of their out-of-character actions. Despite acknowledging his "ace work", Rodimus, for some reason, dispatched those [[Aerialbot (G1)|uncouth flyboys]] to investigate. However, Sky Lynx proved his undeniable talents by rescuing [[Superion (G1)|their combined form]] from imminent destruction. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

When [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] detected a Quintesson signal, he naturally dispatched Sky Lynx to investigate. Unfortunately the planet from which the signal emanated proved to be covered in vegetation, preventing Sky Lynx's otherwise flawless chassis from landing and forcing him to send his passengers, [[Outback (G1)|Outback]] and [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]] instead. He was nonetheless able to provide air support against the Predacons, and spirited away the Autobots along with the [[Quintesson Journal]] they'd found. Alas, he was subsequently seized by the Quintessons. No sooner had he and his chums escaped that predicament, than they were set upon by Decepticons, who blew a hole in Sky Lynx's side and stole the journal. While they battled over control of the journal, the Quintessons reclaimed their toy, and Sky Lynx was later able to extract it from the Quintesson ship by deftly cutting a hole in the hull at exactly the right point. He could then return the journal to the peace conference, where its contents were used to settle a centuries-old war. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}} On one occasion, Sky Lynx's normally-superb gyros malfunctioned, causing him to crash on Cybertron. It later transpired that the glitch had been caused by anti-electrons and thus was outside Sky Lynx's control. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

[[File:CallofthePrimitives SkyLynx ruetheday.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"My leading role in this episode was enough to make it the prettiest in the whole series."]]
Later still, during a skirmish on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], superior forces arrived to save the Autobots in the form of Sky Lynx, though the brutish [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] dared challenge him. However, before Sky Lynx could deliver what would have likely been a stunning finishing blow, the other [[Primitive|vulgars]] were drawn away from the battle by a voice in the distance. For some reason, his magnificence was included in this motley crew and was even forced to voyage with them to the far reaches of space, a sojourn they surely could not have made themselves without Sky Lynx's intellect and sense of direction. Upon landing, Sky Lynx took command of that ill-tempered, uncivilized group of evolutionary throwbacks and directed them in a proper manner, a task which nearly exceeded his incredible skill. However, upon finding the caller, [[Oracle (G1)|the fool]] had the audacity to call him Primitive! Can you imagine? Unfortunately for Sky Lynx, the menace [[Tornedron]] was too much even for him. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

Finding Galvatron bashing on a [[quadrant lock|strange disc]] in space, Sky Lynx released his passengers to investigate. He was unable to prevent them from being sucked through the disc into a sealed region of space, however after the seal was broken, he joined them on the newly freed world of [[Zamojin (planet)|Zamojin]]. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}} Sky Lynx carried Rodimus Prime and Kup to [[Japan]] during a Decepticon attack, arriving in time to prevent [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] from shooting [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. Kup even complemented him on his shooting, but Sky Lynx just responded "I know". Once they'd landed, Sky Lynx passed on the message that Rodimus was wanted at the Imperial Palace by an irate [[Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. {{storylink|The Burden Hardest to Bear}}

In one of his most successful endeavours, Sky Lynx's unquestioned skills were called into play yet again when Rodimus Prime required a [[Quintesson]] during the [[Hate Plague]] crisis. With his customary flair and talent, not to mention amazing speed, Sky Lynx located and retrieved one, who subsequently restored [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] to life. Jolly good show! Just as Sky Lynx hoped, Optimus Prime knew how to stop the Hate Plague. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} Sky Lynx accompanied Optimus Prime to obtain the heat resistant alloy from Galvatron. When Galvatron attempted to betray the Autobots, Sky Lynx's swift speed enabled him to grab Galvatron's cannon when it was knocked away. During the retreat, Sky Lynx was blessed by not being infected by the Hate Plague despite being grabbed onto by [[Jessica Morgan]]. Truly special this was! This did not protect him being infected by Rodimus Prime later on Earth. Sky Lynx, now freed from basic inhibitions, decided to crash through a glass window that prevented him from the sky above. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

[[File:SkyLynxManga01.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|We're guessing that Sky Lynx pulled a Batman on Galvatron and ''planned'' to be occupied on Earth.]]
During a battle on planet [[Feminia]], the Autobots fought to keep the [[Prime Energy Tower]] safe from the Decepticons. Deploying their [[combiner]]s and giant warriors, the two factions found themselves evenly matched. That is, until [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] unleashed his trump card: [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. As Predaking squashed his foes, Galvatron chuckled, having ensured that Predaking's only worthy opponent, Sky Lynx, was entangled on [[Earth]] battling Decepticons in [[New York City]]. With Sky Lynx unavailable, surely nothing could stand in Predaking's way?

Then the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]] showed up and took him out. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #5}}

In [[2011]], Sky Lynx carried the [[Disaster Relief Team]] made up of [[Hound (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hound]], [[Ratchet (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ratchet]], [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]] to the ruins of Cybertron after the planet was destroyed by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. There they discovered the intact form of [[Vector Sigma]], which [[reformatting|reformatted]] the five into new forms, granting them enhanced powers and the ability to combine into [[Sky Reign]], a [[combiner]] that made use of Sky Lynx's beastly strength. Over the course of the next decade, the team used their abilities to rebuild Cybertron until it was inhabitable again, but the peace was shattered when [[Grand Galvatron]] attacked the planet in [[2021]]. During the battle, Sky Lynx fought [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] to stop him from destroying the body of Optimus Prime, then combined with the others to battle Grand Galvatron directly. {{storylink|Sky Reign Chapter}} After Sky Reign was separated into his components by [[Megaempress]], Sky Lynx was exposed to [[Moonheart]]'s [[healing pheromone]]s and fell asleep. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} After Unicron showed up to attack Cybertron, the team helped defeat him in the form of Sky Reign. {{storylink|Ruination Chapter, Part Two}}

The Disaster Relief Team later set up a musical in which Sky Lynx played an evil dragon who kidnapped a princess. {{storylink|Unite Warriors Offshot#Invitation to the Dress Rehearsal!|Invitation to the Dress Rehearsal!}} They were later deployed to the [[Legends World]] to help rebuild [[Akihabara]] after it was wrecked by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} When this other world was attacked by [[Majin Zarak]], Sky Lynx helped defend it as part of the "2010 Team". {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger!

[[File:SklLynxG1mvl03.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|The wonderful thing about Sky Lynx / Is he is a wonderful thing! / His top is made out of rubber / His bottom is made out of springs!]]
[[Lieutenant Commander]] Sky Lynx, of the [[Autobot Third Air Strike Division]], {{storylink|Monstercon from Mars!}} had, throughout the course of the war, been rescued several times by his old chum, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. As such, he did not hesitate to fly to his aid when the latter called upon him to join the Autobots on Earth. There, [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]'s less than stellar performance as Autobot leader threatened to doom them all! (The uncouth [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] was overly obsessed with catching the rogue Autobot, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]].) Upon the venerable Sky Lynx's arrival, Wheeljack requested that he put his considerable skills on temporary hold. What a waste of his immeasurable potential! Before too long, thankfully, Sky Lynx was at last called into action! After Grimlock tossed some [[Spacehikers|juvenile humanoids]] out the airlock of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] into space (for "conspiring" with Blaster), Sky Lynx, with utmost aplomb, rescued them, and put to use his finest displays of agility evading those mongrel Dinobots. Indeed, Sky Lynx's feats were subverted only by the actions of another. To wit: While Sky Lynx was surrounded (which posed no true disadvantage to the ever-resourceful paragon), Blaster turned himself in to Grimlock in exchange for the guaranteed safety of Sky Lynx's young charges. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}} {{storylink|Totaled!}}

[[File:SklLynxG1mvl02.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85|I'm off to outer space / Protecting Autobots / To save [[Spacehikers|annoying kids]] / I am Sky Lynx!]]
However, before speedily returning the kids to their home, Sky Lynx took them to a traveling space carnival. As they had no money to pay for tickets, Sky Lynx charitably agreed to work for the carnival, while the kids were taken care of. Unfortunately, the fine print in the magnificent Autobot's contract made all of them permanent guests of the wretched carnival. Before Sky Lynx could effect a no-doubt-brilliant escape plan, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] passed by and elected to formulate an escape plan of their own. Optimus pounced into the circus ring while Sky Lynx was about to begin his routine show, and helped ram down all performers who tried to hinder their flight from captivity. Optimus took care of most of them, saving Sky Lynx the indignity of facing down such unworthy foes as a [[Gilashark]] and [[Rorza, the Rocket-cycle Racer from Rigel III]]. On their way out, the crowd rightfully burst into cheer, and both Autobots took a bow at Sky Lynx's insistence. They then reconvened aboard the ''[[Skyhammer (G1)|Skyhammer]]'' with Goldbug, who had been equally successful in securing Sky Lynx's charges. {{storylink|The Cosmic Carnival}}

Sky Lynx then returned the Spacehikers to Earth with flair and dispatch. The humans, however, seemed impervious to his charm, and drove him away from Earth again with thrown produce and such. {{storylink|Monstercon from Mars!}}

Some time later, the [[Mecannibal]]s, through an unfair deception, managed to capture the magnificent Sky Lynx. While they did admit to his wondrousness, they unfortunately considered him wondrously ''tasty.'' Luckily, [[Landmine (G1)|Landmine]] and [[Cloudburst]] happened upon the impending banquet aboard the [[Mecannibals' ship]], and assisted in Sky Lynx's escape. {{storylink|Guess Who the Mecannibals Are Having for Dinner?}}

[[File:SklLynxG1mvl01.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|"Yes, one day you two can tell your children how you were defeated by the incredible Sky Lynx."]]
When those selfsame [[Pretender]]s later found themselves harried by [[Darkwing (G1)|Darkwing]] and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]], the noble Sky Lynx showed up to repay his debt, easily dispatching the Decepticon [[Powermaster]]s. He then explained to the Autobots that [[Hi-Test (G1)|Hi-Test]] and [[Throttle (G1)|Throttle]] were the binary-bonded partners of the Decepticons. (Which, really, they should have been able to figure out for themselves.) The ever-helpful Sky Lynx then held the [[Nebulos|Nebulan]]s hostage while the Pretenders blackmailed the Mecannibals into reconstituting all their former victims. Having once again saved the day, Sky Lynx flew off into the sunset, and a shining place in history. {{storylink|Recipe for Disaster!}}

=====The Big Broadcast of 2006=====
{{NoteMarvelBB2006}}
In an alternate future of 2006, Sky Lynx's impeccable perspicacity led him to discover suspicious activity on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]], and he swiftly and surely reported his findings to [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]]. Rodimus recognized Sky Lynx's greatness by declaring him to be one of the best, but inexplicably sent those lesser (though still valiant) fliers, the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], to Junkion to investigate Sky Lynx's report. After [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] was defeated by the [[Quintesson]]s, Sky Lynx's redoubtable abilities were once again required for a rescue. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

The infusion of [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] into his systems boosted [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]'s hypersonic burn to the point that he blacked out and would have simply shot off into space if it hadn't been for Sky Lynx's quick reactions, as he managed to grab the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]] in time. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}}

===''Transformers in 3-D''===
Sky Lynx was hanging around Autobot headquarters on Cybertron when Ultra Magnus checked in with Hot Rod to see how the situation was progressing. {{storylink|The Test (issue)|The Test}}

He acted as transport for Ultra Magnus's team as they searched for [[Metascan Alpha]]. After a stop on a moon, they reached a city under attack from the [[Destructon]]s, but were forced to retreat when the enemy proved too much for them to handle. Sky Lynx made it as far as the moon before running out of energy. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
After awakening from the [[Great Shutdown]], Sky Lynx found himself operating the regime of that uncharismatic, mono-visioned walking calculator, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. Sky Lynx was requisitioned into mere transportation for [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Optimus Prime's little brother]] when he traveled to [[Earth|an insignificant backwater planet]] to arrest the long-lost Autobots. When Ultra Magnus learned of Shockwave's plans to deactivate the Autobots, he lost his temper and hit a console inside of Sky Lynx. While this news was most distressing, it did not warrant such uncivilized violence against one's vehicle. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}} When [[Starscream (G1)|that small and irritating little flyboy]] inevitably ran like a coward, he attempted to commander the magnificent Sky Lynx as his transportation. Imagine the horror etched on the faces of his terrified crew when Sky Lynx refused to accept their navigational commands and flew off at his own volition! {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Unfortunately, that [[Soundwave (G1)|monotoned malcontent]] managed to hack into Sky Lynx's impressive neural processors, and even though he put up a valiant struggle against his Decepticon passengers, he was forced to bring them to the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' on Earth. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

[[File:G1DW SkyLynx sporting.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|It tickles!]]
Sky Lynx found himself embarrassingly captured by the Decepticons under Starscream and [[Combaticon (G1)|his band of merry miscreants]], as, of all things, a punching bag for their training! Far be it for him to refuse combat, but did these fools not realize they were up against the mighty Sky Lynx, even with the Decepticon energy dampeners in effect? Sportingly, the Autobot lieutenant commander warned Starscream that it was hardly a fair match, which the Decepticon, for some reason, misinterpreted to mean that it was not fair to Sky Lynx.

Taking advantage of Starscream's gross overconfidence, Sky Lynx tipped the scales ''further'' in his favour by splitting in half into his separate lynx and dinosaur modes, then soundly thrashing the pitiful Combaticons before the shocked Starscream reactivated the energy dampeners.

Naturally, Sky Lynx's personal punching bag [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] only appeared ''after'' his magnificence was offline, which is just typical, really. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

In [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]] after the disappearance of several Autobots due to [[Unicron]]'s abductions, Optimus, Sky Lynx, [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], and [[X-Brawn]] did their best to hold out against Megazarak, but they ultimately all fell to the tyrant's onslaught. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30}}

{{first|[[Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|''More Than Meets The Eye'' #1]]}}

[[File:Sky Lynx Cause and Effect.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5]]
Sky Lynx was used as a transport by a group of Autobots on a mission to rescue [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]] from the Decepticons. He was magnificent, as always. {{storylink|Cause and Effect}} Sky Lynx would later help transport the Autobots to the [[Iaconian Newsfeed Service]] headquarters where the Autobots would hack it to rally more allies for an assault against the Decepticons. {{storylink|Broadcast}}

When the [[Toraxxis mega-refinery]] came under attack from [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], an Autobot strike force scrambled to the location on board Sky Lynx, {{storylink|Faces of Darkness}} whose participation in the battle naturally ensured an Autobot victory. {{storylink|Rage (IDW)|Rage}} Sky Lynx was later carrying the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]] to [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] when he received new orders to help prevent a riot at [[Starsreach Spaceport]]. {{storylink|Massacre}} Following [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s defeat, Sky Lynx took [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Hot Rod]] on a fly-by over [[Harmonex]] to confirm the body of the beast was still there. It wasn't. {{storylink|Primacy issue 1|Primacy #1}} Soon after, during the Decepticons' siege on Iacon, Sky Lynx joined up with Optimus and the other Autobots who had been protected from the Cons' bombardments by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]]. {{storylink|Primacy issue 4|Primacy #4}} 500,000 years ago he participated in the final defense of the Autobot base, [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|Hello Cruel World}}

[[File:Sky Lynx crashes Night and the City.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3]]
After the war ended, Sky Lynx was, of course, smart enough not to be on the ''[[Lost Light]]'', but, along with Bumblebee and [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]], had a good view of her fate. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|How to Say Goodbye and Mean It}} Later, Sky Lynx was seen hovering over a crowd of [[NAIL|peasants]]. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} He visited [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] with [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] after Blurr reopened it. {{storylink|A Better Tomorrow}}

Sky Lynx was entrusted with the important task of carrying [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] and those ungrateful Dinobot ruffians into Cybertron's wilderness in search of the missing [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], and made sure to entertain them with many fascinating stories of his glorious victories and accomplishments during the war on the way. Alas, the magnetic interference in the wilderness proved too much even for his finely-tuned navigation systems, and he was forced to leave them to carry on their mission on foot. {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt (IDW)|Dinobot Hunt}} The strain on his systems only got worse from there, and by the time he reached Iacon he could no longer stay airborne and crash-landed violently. He managed to tell Bumblebee that he lost Ironhide and Dinobots "to the night" before starting to drift in and out of consciousness. {{storylink|Night and the City}} [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] would later mention that he was recovering. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things}}

Sky Lynx had made a full recovery by the time the ''Lost Light'' returned to Cybertron, and joined in the celebrations. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} He subsequently attended the trial of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} Months later, Optimus Prime made the wise decision to bring Sky Lynx on a mission to [[Earth]] to investigate a lead left by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. Greeted by a barrage of missiles from the [[human]]s, the Autobots abandoned that clumsy ''[[Ark-7]]'' in favor of using the smaller Sky Lynx to reach the surface. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|Hello Cruel World}} On Prowl's orders, Sky Lynx delivered the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] from the ''Ark-7'' to the battle in [[Poverty Flat]], {{storylink|Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|Detonation Boulevard}} then ferried everyone straight back to the ship where he got some energon to slurp. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}}

Next, Sky Lynx carried the team to the [[Earth Defense Command]] base on [[Marshall Islands|Bikini Atoll]], staying clear of the actual fighting. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 4: Full Fathom Five|Full Fathom Five}} Once their mission to rescue Alpha Trion was complete, Sky Lynx returned and carried the team to safety. {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}} When [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] and [[Jetfire (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jetfire]] rather rudely burst into the hangar following an alarm, Sky Lynx explained to them how Optimus and Alpha Trion had equally rudely left the ''Ark-7'' aboard Prime's [[Skyroller|personal shuttle]] without so much as a greeting. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

When [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] came under fire while investigating the remnants of the EDC's Bikini Atoll base, it was up to the valiant Sky Lynx and his comrade, [[Sideswipe (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Sideswipe]], to come to the rescue of the hapless 'bot. Sky Lynx had much fun destroying the target-seeking missiles before returning to the ''Ark-7''. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls, and Marches}} Sky Lynx was hesitant to fly Prowl and the Constructicons to [[Tokyo]], seeing as how the absent Optimus hadn't authorized such a mission, but begrudgingly did so after Prowl argued that he was in charge in Prime's absence. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Two: Vs.|Vs.}} When [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and Sideswipe confronted Sky Lynx about his going through with this trek against Prime's orders, he claimed that Prowl had been supplying him with some top-class [[Engex]], and couldn't see him getting into ''that'' much trouble. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|ONoffON}} Prowl failed to live up to expectations, however, and it was up to Sky Lynx to come in as the cavalry once again during the Decepticons' fight with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] in [[Wanmu]]. Sky Lynx restrained that clod, [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], and spat fire at Devastator until the combiner came to his senses; after which, Sky Lynx took the Autobots and Constructicons back to the ''Ark-7'' with a [[space bridge]] in tow. {{storylink|The Onyx Interface Conclusion: The Obliterati|The Obliterati}}

When Arcee brought an [[Onyx]] tablet aboard the ''Ark-7'' for examination, Sky Lynx tried to tell his fellow crew members of how useless looking at such primitive human tech would be, but alas, his advice was harshly brushed aside. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} When the Autobots discovered some mysterious Cybertronian source code within the device, as well as a quantum signal within it leading to Earth, Sky Lynx went alongside Jetfire and transported [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Jazz]] and Kup to the signal's source on the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] island of [[Bouvetoya]]. However, Sky Lynx looked on in horror as the team was soon attacked by [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]]'s [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]]/[[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] [[Seeker clone|clone-combiner]]s and tried to help by opening fire on them. Finding that the group of combiners were too powerful even for him, Sky Lynx began to fly back to the ''Ark-7'' for assistance. As the violent brutes revealed they could transform and flew after him, Sky Lynx tried leading them to get within range of the ''Ark-7'''s weapons; however, the very same Onyx tablet that Sky Lynx warned against looking at took control of the ship's systems and raised its deflector shields just as Sky Lynx was about to reach it, causing him to crash into the shields quite violently and be knocked offline. The combiners then promptly took the finest Autobot of them all captive. This is why one should always listen to Sky Lynx!

Imprisoned by Blackrock with the other defeated Autobots in a secret, black liquid-filled chamber of the EDC's Bikini Atoll base, even the weary Sky Lynx was rather surprised when none other than Jetfire's drone [[D.0.C.]] came to rescue them (although it reminded him of another, sure to be exciting story he promised to tell the drone later). After D.0.C. cut open a hole in the room's ceiling, Sky Lynx emerged from it with the other Autobots, free once more and as majestic as ever! {{storylink|Conquerors Part 3: Helden|Helden}}

[[File:AHM-SkyReign.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

As the EDC started making preparations for a full-spectrum [[mindbomb]] to try to stop Galvatron and his forces after he had gone turncoat, the still-injured Sky Lynx happily volunteered to provide some information about their neocortexes. The humans would have obviously been lost without him. When Optimus and some other Autobots arrived at the EDC base in the ''Skyroller'' to pick up their wayward comrades, Sky Lynx climbed aboard. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} To convince the humans of their innocence, Sky Lynx and his comrades began flying across the globe, heroically helping the small creatures with their petty problems. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}}

Indispensable as ever, Sky Lynx carried a complement of Autobots and Decepticons over the ocean to make an attack on Galvatron's submerged base, the ''Nemesis''. Tragically, Sky Lynx fell victim to the energies of the [[Enigma of Combination]], turning him into the torso of [[Sky Reign]] (He remained as strikingly handsome as ever). {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} He reverted to normal after Superion loutishly tampered with the Enigma and nullified its effects. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}} Sky Lynx helped mop up what Decepticons had been left behind after cowardly Galvatron's absconsion {{storylink|White Light}}, but found themselves having to deal with the bothersome forces of the EDC, now under the command of the brutish [[Joe Colton]]. {{storylink|White Heat}} Some months later, Sky Lynx and some of his comrades were on Cybertron to assist in relief efforts in the wake of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]'s rampage. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}}

In the wake of the "[[Revolution]]" incident, Sky Lynx remained on Earth as Optimus Prime and the Autobots maintained the peace. He ferried Optimus Prime and some Autoobts to a meeting with the wretched [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s on the [[Matterhorn]], then took the group back to Autobot City, where we was bothered by a group of utterly childish Autobot recruits demanding to know more about the new arrivals. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}} Sky Lynx later attended a meeting between Optimus Prime and some dignitaries, which would have been impossible to arrnage had it not been for his impeccable presence on the deck of Metrotitan. It was a tragedy, then, that the uncivilized Junkions sought to spoil this momentous event by unleashing a school of ravenous [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s on all assembled. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 4: Dance Among the Shadows|Dance Among the Shadows}} Fortunately Sky Lynx was there to ferry the injured Sideswipe to safety with alacrity and aplomb. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 5: Future Glories Lost|Future Glories Lost}}

===Generation 1===
*'''Sky Lynx''' (Motorized Space Shuttle, [[1986]])
[[File:G1SkyLynx toy.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Part cat, part bird, part danger, all applesauce.]]
:Sky Lynx transforms from a space shuttle with crawler-transporter into two smaller robots; the shuttle grows legs to become a prehistoric bird, while the crawler-transporter grows a head and two tails to become a lynx. The two can then combine into a super robot with the legs of a lynx and the upper-body of a prehistoric bird. The crawler-transporter section has a battery-powered motor that rolls him along in transporter shuttle mode and activates a slow, ungainly walking action in lynx/lower-body mode. The shuttle also has an opening "cargo bay", though there is no room to store anything in it. Even though it fails to capture his magnificence fully, it is ''still'' the apex of toy technology.

:Unlikely as it may seem that anything could improve upon the perfection of this design, there were two different versions of this toy, released a year apart. On the first version, the rear thruster panel was connected to the body by a basic hinged piece. The second release modified this hinge so the panel could extend out from the body slightly, allowing a little more room for opening the panel and extending the tail.

:Unusually for a toy of his size, he has no other accessories packaged with him. But then again, why add to something that is already perfect?

:Along with [[Omega Supreme (G1)#Toys|Omega Supreme]], Sky Lynx was licensed from a company called [[Toybox]]. As a result, Sky Lynx was not initially released by Takara in Japan. They were robbed. They. Were. ''Robbed''.

This was the first time that this masterpiece of a toy was sold in Japan. As if it was possible, TakaraTomy made perfection even more perfect by painting the shuttle's mouth cannon and the lynx's eyes, and making the gold chrome more subtle.

**''Accessories'': two sword-rifles

:From the sixth wave of Voyager Class toys from the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' portion of the [[Transformers: Generations|''Generations'']] toyline, Sky Lynx is a superbly-engineered Voyager-class toy which transforms from shuttle to dinobird. While not specifically called out in the instructions or on the box, Sky Lynx is also able to transform into his glorious lynx mode. Sky Lynx can combine with any Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars'' figures, and can impart a fraction of his innate magnificence upon them to form the splendiferous [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]]. Although he can no longer split into his two components, such a minor exclusion does naught to mar his superb excellence.

:Unlike most Voyager Class ''Combiner Wars'' figures, Sky Lynx's weapons aren't shown in his instructions at all. They can be combined to create a larger sword for Sky Reign, and as further proof of his superiority, they can be combined with either serving as the hilt: they're not limited to combining in a single way like other, less magnificent combiner weapons. They can be attached to his wings to function as cannons in any mode, or peg onto his center thruster fin to form a magnificent tail in beast mode. He also has 5mm peg holes on his wings, front feet, and hips, though his superior self scarcely needs additional weaponry given his unrivaled greatness.

:This mold was also redecoed/retooled into [[Deathsaurus (Victory)#Generations|Deszarus]], with a decent new head.

:Following in the footsteps of ''Siege'' Jetfire, ''Earthrise'' Sky Lynx is a brand new mold changing from dinobird to shuttle in 35 steps, plus his original dazzling ability to split into dual beast modes from his dinobird mode in 22 steps, as well as a new shuttle launch platform base mode in 20 steps from the lynx mode.

:Although the store description states that wonderful Astroscope is included, he was cut out due to cost concerns.

:In a first for the Transformers brand, Sky Lynx is one of two Earthrise space shuttle toys developed with an official license from {{W|NASA}} (the other being the Micromaster [[Astro Squad]]), and bears NASA logos in his deco. Also as part of that partnership, Sky Lynx was given a new fictitious Space Shuttle name, visible below the cargo bay door hinges. He is... the ''Magnificence''.

==Notes==
*In his ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' profile, Sky Lynx's "Lynx" component is instead identified as a puma and his bird component is identified as a "dinobird".
*Original scripts for the Generation 1 cartoon identify Sky Lynx's beauteous combined form as his "Dinoblast" mode.
*On numerous occasions throughout the Generation 1 cartoon, Sky Lynx's pristine form was blemished with a Decepticon [[insignia]], too often to be an accident. This suggests that a [[character model]] bearing the insignia existed that was being drawn from in these instances, in turn implying that Sky Lynx may have been originally characterized as a Decepticon. This fits well with the fact that his perennial rivals, the Predacons, started out the design process as a team of Autobots known as the [[Anibot]]s!
*The true nature of Sky Lynx's transformation remains a mystery even to those intrepid souls who endeavor in that most worthwhile task of chronicling his many laudable adventures. In the Marvel Comics, for example, Sky Lynx does not split into two [[beast mode]]s; rather, he seems to be a [[Triple Changer]] of sorts who has a shuttle mode, a lynx mode, and a bird mode which sometimes retains the four-legged undercarriage ("[[Spacehikers!]]") and sometimes doesn't ("[[The Cosmic Carnival]]"). While some might see these as "inconsistencies", Sky Lynx's design is grand enough to encompass all such possibilities, so these alternate depictions of his transformation disturb him not in the least.
*Though it chafes the magnificent Sky Lynx to share an origin with the ungainly (if powerful) [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], both were originally created by a company known as Toybox, from whom Hasbro licensed the designs for sale as Transformers. As with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and the [[Insecticon (G1)|Deluxe Insecticons]], this meant it could not be sold as a Transformers toy in Japan, since Takara didn't want to promote its competition's toys. Thus, Japan was unable to experience Sky Lynx's full grandeur—but such glory could not be denied forever! Sure enough, when Takara merged with former competitor Tomy, the situation changed. After the merger, an especially perspicacious member of the TF development team spotted a "shuttle dinosaur" development code name among the molds listed in Tomy's possession. Soon, the truth of Sky Lynx's esteemed lineage emerged: Toybox was not the original equipment manufacturer, but rather, it had requested that Tomy develop the Sky Lynx design on its behalf. (Such outsourced design and mold development was not uncommon in the Japanese toy market at the time.) This unsung hero of a developer called attention to the fact, helping initiate the process for issuing Sky Lynx as a Japanese Transformers toy for the first time ever. Had the situation moved a bit more slowly, the molds might have been lost forever—a tragedy of such magnitude, it scarcely bears consideration.<ref>http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/products/encore/e-07s.html Takara's "Tale of Sky Lynx" page</ref>
*[[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]]'s puny ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' figure was at one point conceived as Sky Lynx, but someone at Hasbro must wisely have decided that a mold as diminutive as [[Jetfire (Armada)#LOC|Jetfire]]'s simply wouldn't do for a 'bot of such stature.

:''Runamuck is a [[Decepticon]] [[Battlecharger]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Runamuckg1.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Damnit Pantera, this beer is warm!]]
'''Runamuck''' (also known as '''Runamok''') and [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] are the [[Battlecharger]]s, a nearly inseparable pair of hooligans. Runamuck in particular likes to make things explode, heh heh, and ''loves'' a good wreck. He has been known to wander around junkyards, fascinated by the carnage of twisted metal and shattered glass. This only makes him want to blow more enemies into heaps of slag. Heh heh, slag. He does not consider it beneath him to indulge in petty acts of vandalism, and thinks a good insult sprayed on a clean wall is a Decepticon victory, heh heh.

As a Battlecharger, he's well-equipped to do it. He'll speed up crowded highways at his 180 MPH top speed (at which he can go up to 600 miles), smashing everything in his path, without regard to his fenders. Then he transforms into [[robot mode]] (in less than half a second) to use his prized tool of wholesale destruction—a [[friction rifle]].

This terrible weapon does little damage, but it leaves a field around his target that enhances molecular heating from friction. With the slightest move, a catastrophic buildup of thermal energy bursts his foe asunder in a shower of burned metal fragments and smoke. The field wears off in five minutes, if the target is able to stay absolutely still for that long. Usually they just end up as a big mess. Runamuck loves a big mess, heh heh.

Runamuck is also equipped with short-range rocket boosters to help him jump over obstacles, but strangely enough, he is terrified of heights.

{{noteukonly}}
[[File:Battlechargersperchance.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|My car is really fast... it kicks a lotta ass... it runs on gas... I drive it on the grass...]]
The Battlechargers were summoned to [[Earth]] from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who wanted a dramatic way to announce his challenge to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] for a fight to the death. The two immediately ignored their orders, and began to raise a bit of random highway havoc. ''Encountering [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]], the two dropped firetraps and wrecked piles of cars behind them. Unable to stop them quietly on his own terms, Prowl grew angry and... was halted by Optimus Prime, who was dismayed with his recklessness.''<ref>This story may not have happened in the Marvel continuity proper, as it occurs in a dream sequence within a story that leads into the incompatible [[Earthforce]] storyline.</ref> {{storylink|...Perchance to Dream}} During a break in the mayhem, they rested in a parking lot and saw a defiant youngster expressing his disgust of family vacations through graffiti. His dad angrily escorted him back to the station wagon, and their holiday trip resumed. The Battlechargers, impressed by the boy's disregard for authority, began following the family on a road trip through the [[United States of America|U.S.]], defacing any monuments they happened upon (such as [[Mount Rushmore]], the [[Gateway Arch]] in [[St. Louis]], and the [[Washington Monument]]). They wrote insults and jokes in a [[Cybertronian language]], thus attracting the attention of [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]], which had already captured thirteen Autobots.

[[File:Battlechargers-marvel23a.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
RAAT caught up with them in [[Philadelphia]], where [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] engaged them in a battle that nearly killed the graffiti-inclined boy. Because of her disregard for civilian safety, Circuit Breaker was temporarily stripped of her command and ordered to stay out of action. Itching for revenge, she found her only allies to be the partially-disassembled [[Autobot]]s in her RAAT lab. She didn't have time to rebuild them all properly, but she knew she could jury-rig them together into [[Circuit Breaker's Autobot suit|a single form which she could partially control]]. However, she needed the Autobots' consent, and they only agreed to do it if she would release them afterward. She agreed, and she soon fought an aerial battle with the two Decepticons at the [[Statue of Liberty]] (where, incidentally, they had written "humans are wimps" in poor English). The two hooligans met quick defeat at the hands of her makeshift gestalt, their charred bodies sent plunging into the harbor. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}} {{storylink|Prey!}}

Some contradictory accounts followed. One placed Runamuck alongside [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s crew, aiding in his facade that presented the Decepticons' island base as a [[Club Con|tropical resort for humans]]. Runamuck was advertised on television as part of the island's smiling welcoming party. Another account placed Runamack helping the Autobot Blaster in a training session before he infiltrated said island base. Best to not think too hard about either. {{storylink|Club Con!}}

[[File:Hosehead3.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|That big guy, like, kicked the little guys' asses.]]
When [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] wanted to wrest control of the Earth-based Decepticons from [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]], the Battlechargers joined his motley band of rebels. {{storylink|Surrender!}} They attacked Scorponok's [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]] [[New Jersey base|base]], collapsing it onto itself. [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] then urged his comrades to help him dig out whatever survivors there might be to offer them a choice; join them or be destroyed. Unfortunately, the first to be excavated was Scorponok. Runamuck, [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], Runabout, and [[Triggerhappy (G1)|Triggerhappy]] tried to gun him down together, but their laser fire proved ineffective against Scorponok's ultra-dense armor. The enemy leader easily tackled all four of them at once, taking them out of the ensuing battle. {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}} Just as said battle ended, the combatants were transported to Cybertron by [[Primus]], who was gathering his Transformer children to stand against the demigod [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. The pair were in attendance as Primus spoke to the assembled Transformers through the body of [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]], though Runamuck was more concerned about some Autobots they'd recently angered as Runabout screwed his [[kibble]] back on. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Runamuck was a casualty in the ensuing planet-wide battle, his wrecked [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (oddly emblazoned with an Autobot symbol) was shown amongst the fallen. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Battlechargers stunticons life in the slow lane.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
During the [[Decepticon Civil War]], Runamuck sided against [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and joined [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]'s team. When Shockwave heard the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] had been revived without the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], he and his men attacked [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]'s crew in an attempt to beat the secret of their resurrection out of them. Runamuck managed to set [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Swoop]]'s wing on fire with his [[friction rifle]], but just a second later Grimlock decked him with a thunder-lizard punch, taking him out of the fight. {{storylink|Two Steps Back!}}

When the fighting between Megatron's and Shockwave's forces reached a height neither faction leader was comfortable with, they called for an [[Enclave]] to negotiate an alliance. Runamuck attended the festivities, only for some Autobot saboteurs to fake an assassination attempt on Megatron. A giant brawl ensued, and Runamuck got the stuffing beat out of him. {{storylink|The Bad Guy's Ball!}}

When Megatron lost a [[global warming satellite]] to the Autobots, along with its poison gas canisters, Shockwave sent the Battlechargers out to retrieve it for his own purposes. They ran into [[Dead End (G1)|Dead End]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)|Drag Strip]] at the crash site, and got into a fight over who would take possession of the rocket and its contents. Little did they know the Autobot [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]] had already removed and neutralized the rocket's contents, making their tussle utterly pointless' {{storylink|Life in the Slow Lane}} Later, after the Decepticon factions unified, Runabout and Runamuck were seen attacking the Autobot Earthbase with the full Decepticon force but they ultimately failed to gain any ground and retreated. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}}

=====Rhythms of Darkness!=====
In an alternate future in [[2009]], Runamuck was among the warriors defending the [[Decepticon Powerbase]] against a desperate assault launched by the last seven remaining Autobots. He was shot down by a charging [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

{{voiceactor|[[Roger Behr]] (English), [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:Chaos RunamuckonBlastOff.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Heh heh. FIRE. FIRE!]]
Runamuck first appeared attacking [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and some other Autobots investigating a decimated [[Earth Defense Command]] station that had crashed on [[Goo 8739B]]. Riding [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]], Runamuck strafed the Autobots with a [[death crystal]] shooter. (The station had been destroyed by death crystals, so it's possible that was Runamuck's work as well.) The Autobots engaged the duo in a short space battle that ended when Runamuck blew up a comet with the death crystals, delaying the Autobots long enough to get away. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

[[File:GhostMachine RunaboutVsRunamuck.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|OW! AHH!! Cut it out, fartknocker!]]
He was next seen guarding [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s city mode on [[Chaar]] with Runabout. They were attacked by [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]] and the ghost of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], who wanted to steal one of Trypticon's eyes for Unicron. Starscream possessed Runabout, shot Runamuck, then ran into a wall, knocking Runabout unconscious. Runamuck, however, was able to sound an alarm, and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] arrived to help. Scourge got Trypticon's eye, and Starscream possessed Astrotrain and escaped. Later, under Unicron's orders, Starscream returned to Chaar and took control of Trypticon, not knowing that Dirge, Thrust, and the Battlechargers were inside. Starscream used Trypticon to bring Unicron's head down Cybertron's surface, but Thrust sabotaged Trypticon from within before Starscream could connect Unicron to the planet. Starscream came out of Trypticon and demanded that Unicron give him a corporeal form so he could complete the connections. Just as Unicron did so, Autobot-planted explosives detonated and sent Unicron's head back into orbit. Starscream was also flung into outer space, where [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] began pursuing him. Trypticon (and the Decepticons inside him) were probably thrown into space as well. Although the Battlechargers were not seen again, Trypticon and the others were, so they most likely did survive. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

====''Legends'' comic====
Runabout and Runamuck were among the Decepticons who attacked the [[Ark (G1)|Autobot base]] in the 1980s to steal the [[Transform Super Cog]]. Using their car modes, the duo barreled through the Autobot defenders, entered the base and seized the cog only to be defeated by [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] and [[Twin Twist]]. {{storylink|Slugslinger's Ambition}}

[[File:ComingStorm1-Battlechargers.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|The lads discuss Winger.]]
Runabout and Runamuck were present during the battle that led to the destruction of [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]]. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}} At some other time, the pair were hanging out with the equally-delinquent pair of [[Jetstorm (G2)|Jetstorm]] and [[Deluge (G2)|Deluge]] when a [[Nexus Prime|giant Autobot]] and his [[Aquarius (SG)|Quintesson cohort]] wandered into their territory. While Jetstorm and Deluge jumped the Autobot, Runabout and Runamuck tortured the Quintesson. But as Runamuck was pressing his foot down on the Quintesson's head, he surprised to learn just how strong his would-be victim's tentacles were. A short moment later, all four Decepticons were defeated, left brutally embarrassed. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

At some point between various upgrades, the quick-transformation feature from Runamuck's frame was abandoned in order to boost his armament and resistance to harm. Both Battlechargers were also offered a flight mode but turned it down. Runamuck often forgot this final detail, and would jump off of buildings and cliffs in an effort to take to the air. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 43|Runamuck's profile in Club magazine #43}}

After having been absent from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for a very long time, [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] made a secret return. He enlisted Runabout and Runamuck in filling him in on what he had missed, and the pair gave him a very amusing, yet sufficiently informative, recollection of the events of the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and [[The Rebirth|Cybertron's first contact with Nebulos]]. The information convinced Jhiaxus that this would be the perfect time to rebuild his [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward}}

The two Battlechargers were dispatched to find some [[personality component]]s, and in the process discovered a [[stasis hibernation pod]] which opened to reveal [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 2}} They took the amnesiac Side Burn him back to Jhiaxus, after which they all headed to [[Nebulos]], where Jhiaxus had Runamuck and Runabout kidnap [[Hi-Q]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 3}} After they arrived on [[Qre]], the pair engaged in some racing with Side Burn. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 4}} When Side Burn's advances were rebuffed by [[Nightracer (G2)|Nightracer]], Runamuck suggested giving her some space, but Side Burn followed Runabout's advice to follow her instead. The Battlechargers trailed behind him. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 5}} Following Jhiaxus's defeat, Side Burn promised the pair leniency, and indeed after the pair returned to Earth with the Autobots, Hi-Q said he wouldn't press charges. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 6}}

===Battle Beneath the Ice===
One day, the Battlecharger duo was sent to destroy the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] in [[San Francisco]], but Runamuck's fear of heights prevented him from even driving onto it. Runabout was taken out of by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], and [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]], who soon came bearing down on Runamuck. The battle was televised on the news and recorded by [[Jeff Grey]], who later discussed it with Hot Rod during a chance meeting. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}

[[File:Predaconstww.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Aaa, [[Starscream (G1)|this guy]] sucks! Change the channel, Runabout!]]
After the death of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], Runamuck participated in the destruction of [[Altihex]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}} When [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] got caught up in their first battle, the Battlechargers joined [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] and [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] in disabling [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and helping [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] assume control over Megatron's plans. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} Runamuck continued to follow Starscream when, roughly a million years later, Megatron was lost in a [[space bridge]] accident and the Decepticons split into several factions. Runamuck and Runabout joined up with Starscream's new group of [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacons]]. They remained defiant even when the other Decepticon factions were prepared to sign a peace treaty with the Autobots and staged an attack on the ceremony at [[Tyger Pax]]. They were repulsed. Violently. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}} But then, Megatron returned to Cybertron, backed by an [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] army. With these drones, he quickly took over the planet and unified the Decepticon forces. With Cybertron now under Decepticon control, Runamuck was put to work as one of the guards in [[Internment Camp Pi]], overlooking the slave Autobot workforce. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

In the modern era, Runamuck and Runabout were serving [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] "under the table" as assassins. When the [[Triple Changer]] [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]] removed Optimus Prime from his cell, the Battlechargers followed them into the [[Old Slave Trails]] and made an attempt on Prime's life. Sandstorm was killed, but Runamuck was captured and held prisoner by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]'s resistance movement. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} He apparently broke free and joined back up with Runabout after the Autobots resumed control of Cybertron. The two of them were scrounging around for fresh energon and a hideout to avoid Autobot patrols when they stumbled upon one of Shockwave's hidden bases. While Runamuck amused himself by lighting [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] on fire, Runabout accidentally activated one of Shockwave's cloning experiments, [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], whose massive energon radiation overloaded the Battlechargers' circuitry, frying them reeeaaal good. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] later watched footage of this incident while trying to unravel Shockwave's schemes. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}}

When last seen, Runamuck and Runabout had been found by the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] was tending to their damaged bodies as they were taken into custody. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}}

Runamuck was one of many bots to come from distant regions of Cybertron to attend [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s speeches and demonstrations of power as the Decepticon faction begun to take shape. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} When Megatron gave the order to burn [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] to the ground after having done away with the [[Senate]], Runamuck was the first to leap forward in order to carry out his leader's orders. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}}

[[File:TF Drift Runamuck.jpg|thumb]]
Early in the war, Runamuck was present as [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] was accepted into the ranks of the Decepticons. {{storylink|Drift issue 2|Drift #2}} [[File:Autocracy Battlechargers.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]
Following the fall of [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]]'s government, he was among the Decepticons who hunted down and arrested Autobots resisting [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s rule. {{storylink|Transformation (issue)|Transformation}} When the captured Autobots staged a prison break, Runamuck, Runabout and [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] tried and failed to stop them. {{storylink|Rise}} The Battlechargers were later present in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] when [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Scorponok]] announced he was the new leader of the Decepticons. {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}}

At some point in time, Runamuck fought against the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]] alongside [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ravage]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] and were thoroughly trounced for their efforts. {{storylink|Spotlight: Grimlock}}

[[File:Infiltration1-gimme.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|200px|Headliners! At last!]]
Four million years later, Runamuck was part of the Decepticon insurgent cell that had operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, working to destabilise Earth's governing organisations and create global anarchy. He, Runabout and [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]] were assigned by [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]] to intercept the human [[Stoker]] and retrieve his [[SM-40]] palmtop PC, containing data on their [[Nebraska]] operation. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 0|Infiltration #0}} The team caught up with and killed Stoker outside Phoenix, AZ, by which time [[Verity Carlo]] had already stolen the SM-40. Their attempts to retrieve it from Verity and [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] disregarded their cover: they appeared in full public view both in primary mode {{storylink|Infiltration issue 1|Infiltration #1}} and in a secondary [[alternate mode]], where the panels of their sports-car disguises split apart to reveal weapons and ram-plates. While pursuing Ratchet, both Battlechargers were run off the road by a semi-trailer. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 2|Infiltration #2}}

[[File:Ratchet vs Battlechargers.jpg|left|thumb|350px]]
Runamuck bore witness to Megatron's disciplinary actions towards Starscream and sided with Megatron after Starscream's botched rebellion. {{storylink|Infiltration issue 6|Infiltration #6}} Despite his part in Starscream's mutiny, Runamuck was quickly forgiven and returned to active duty. {{storylink|Escalation issue 1|Escalation #1}} {{storylink|Escalation issue 2|Escalation #2}}

[[File:Upgraded Battlechargers.jpg|thumb]]
Runamuck moved to [[Latveria]] with the rest of the Decepticons to spark a war between the nations of Latveria and [[Symkaria]] using the [[Psycho-Prism]]. He was the first of Megatron's warriors to be turbocharged by [[Spider-Man]]'s radioactive blood, and subsequently attacked the allied Autobots and [[Avengers]] in [[mirror response mode]] with the rest of his teammates. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}} Runamuck was taken out of the fight in short order, after he was blasted by the newly arrived [[Iron Man]] and sliced up by [[Wolverine (superhero)|Wolverine]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}} The badly-damaged Runamuck subsequently fled via an [[emergency warp-out]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

Runamuck was cowering in a nearby room while Megatron and [[Sixshot]] were arguing in the Decepticon's base on Earth. {{storylink|Devastation issue 1|Devastation #1}}

[[File:ReapercrushesBattlecharger.jpg|300px|left|thumb|...oh.]]
Unfortunately, Runamuck was brutally off-lined when the [[Reaper]]s attacked the Decepticon command bunker in Oregon. Upset after Runabout was electrocuted until he exploded, Runamuck was soon decapitated and then had his errant head crushed by a large boulder. Their fellow Decepticons cared little for the Battlechargers' demise; [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] wrote them off as "acceptable losses." {{storylink|Devastation issue 5|Devastation #5}} {{storylink|Devastation issue 6|Devastation #6}}

In [[2017]] when [[Joe Colton (Dire Wraith)|Joe Colton]] and [[Scarlett]] discussed the Cybertronian influence on Earth, they reviewed Ratchet's initial fight with the Battlechargers. {{storylink|Secret Raiders: A Revolution Prelude|Secret Raiders}}

As part of [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]]'s forces, Runamuck tried (and failed) to prevent the escape of a group of Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] from the [[New Decepticon Army]]'s headquarters. When Runamuck refused to surrender the captive [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s location, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] tore off his arm and promised that his head would be next. Runamuck became more cooperative. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

In order to avoid getting punished for his latest failure, Runamuck had Frenzy paint him black, so as to pass for Runabout. {{storylink|Lil Formers}}

===''Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe''===
Runamuck followed [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] to [[Earth]] in his quest for the [[AllSpark]]. There, he encountered [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]]. Not much of a match against the Autobot titan, Runamuck crawled away from the battle as Omega occupied himself with [[Dirge (WFC)|Dirge]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe|The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe}}

:''Topspin is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Topspin-dotm-nizzi-production.jpg|right|thumb|400px|YOU DON'T DESERVE TO KNOW MY NAME!]]

If it doesn't result in at least a few dings and scraped paint, '''Topspin''' isn't interested. To him, buckled and burnt armor are signs of a life well-led. As one of the [[Wrecker]]s, he's proud of being one tough bot, and is more than happy to wear the scars to prove it. He is sometimes called '''Volleybot'''.

==Fiction==
===Movies===
====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
[[Image:DOTM-Topspinchicago.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Spy's sappin mah sentry!]]

Topspin, Leadfoot, and Roadbuster - collectively called the [[Wrecker|Wreckers]] by [[Charlotte Mearing]] - had arrived with the second wave of Autobots aboard their ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]''. Rarely allowed out of the [[NASA]] base because of their attitude, they would spend most of their time repairing their ship with help from some human engineers, notably [[Robert Epps]].

When [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] announced that all other Autobots were to be exiled or the [[Earth]] would face the wrath of hundreds of Decepticons, the three were tasked with preparing their ship for launch. They accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the others aboard as it lifted into the atmosphere, where it was promptly targeted and blown to smithereens by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], seemingly killing everyone aboard. Despite the loss, the Autobots' human allies planned to launch an incursion into Decepticon-held [[Chicago]].

[[Image:TopspinDaytona500trailer.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Talkin'boutthattheredangol'"Wreck'nRule!"man..."]]

Fortunately for the humans, the Autobots hadn't actually boarded the ship - rather, they'd staged their deaths in order to keep the Decepticons from following up on their global threat. Topspin and the other Wreckers swung into action immediately, rescuing Epps, [[Sam Witwicky]], and a group of soldiers from a [[Orbital Assault Carrier|Decepticon fighter]] and executing the pilot before heading into the battle zone.

While the Autobots were scouting a route to the building containing Sentinel's [[Space bridge]] pillars, [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his pet [[Driller]] were able to separate Optimus from his weapons trailer. Optimus ordered Topspin and the other Wreckers to create a distraction so that he could retrieve it; they were successful in drawing the Decepticon's attention by peppering him with automatic fire in their armored racecar modes. When forced to retreat, they unknowingly left behind [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who had hitched a ride with them. When Optimus became entangled in a construction site's exposed cables, the Wreckers managed to free him before rejoining the battle. They were later seen fighting against [[Devcon (DOTM)|Devcon]]. Following Optimus's execution of the enemy leaders, Topspin stood with the other survivors, accepting that Cybertron was gone forever and that Earth was their new home. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Topspin’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]," and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]," the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]," and the storybooks "[[Optimus Prime's Friends and Foes]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]."}}

====''Age of Extinction'' film====
After the battle for Chicago, [[Harold Attinger]]'s "[[Cemetery Wind]]" began hunting down the Autobots in addition to the remaining Decepticons on Earth. Topspin received a message from Optimus Prime, instructing all Autobots to flee for their lives.

Five years later, Optimus questioned Topspin's absence, to which [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] replied that it was uncertain if anyone else evaded Cemetery Wind. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

Over 5 tears after the Chicago war, Topspin (now sporting a [[Facial hair|beard]]) was among several Autobots that were granted asylum in [[Cuba]]. He constantly pestered [[Seymour Simmons]] to play volleyball with him; at one point, he had been badgering Simmons during an important phone call with [[Edmund Burton|someone]], which led to visible annoyance. Still, once the call was over, Simmons went to the beach with him. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

*'''Autobot Topspin''' (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''004'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV10'''

: Part of the first wave of [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] toys, Topspin is a [[Legends Class|Legion-scale]] figure that transforms into a [[NASCAR]] {{w|Chevrolet Impala#NASCAR Sprint Cup|Sprint Cup Chevy Impala}} stock car, specifically {{w|Jimmie Johnson}}'s Lowes and Kobalt sponsored #48 car. Like the other NASCAR-based ''DOTM'' toys, both versions of Topspin lack the multiple small "contingency" sponsor decals found on a full-sized NASCAR racer.

: He's pretty much a [[shellformer]] with a two-step transformation and very limited [[articulation]]. As a consequence, his robot mode is very small compared to the Legion Class toys of his two fellow Wreckers. In addition, unlike the his two fellow Wreckers, his vehicle mode is an unchanged version of the real-life stock car he's based on, even though the movie depicted all three Wreckers with their weapons permanently exposed in vehicle mode. Thus, he stands out next to Leadfoot and Roadbuster in ''both'' modes.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on his [[packaging]] (see also the image to the left), which feature a hand-painted [[prototype]], show him with his forearms/hands swapped compared to the final toy: In the stock photos, it's the ''right'' hand that's an articulated claw while the ''left'' hand is sculpted to hold Cyberverse weapons or clip onto [[C joint]] bars, whereas the respective arms can be found on the opposite sides on the final toy. The [[instructions]], which depict an ''unpainted'' resin prototype, match up with the final toy, thus implying that the prototype used for the stock photos was [[misassembly|misassembled]].

**''Accessories:'' MechTech blaster/combat claw, two small guns, two large guns

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxes, Topspin transforms into a heavily modified version of the same #48 Sprint Cup car as the Cyberverse Legion toy, with two sets of two differently-sized removable guns mounted onto [[5mm post|5mm post holes]] on the roof and sides of the vehicle. As part of the [[MechTech]] series, he has a blaster that converts into a "combat claw", and this weapon, as well as his four removable guns, can be used by other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys or any other ''Transformers'' toy with 5mm post holes. The back halves of his vehicle mode can be folded back together into a more compact kibble backpack.

:Though he has prominent claws on his arms, Topspin does have fists sculpted onto his forearms.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Topspin's ''[[Speed Stars]]'' toy and packaging art are strange. It uses [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]]'s vehicle mode for the most part, with the minor alteration of Topspin's hood armour, and of course, the Jimmie Johnson Lowes sponsored #48 car deco.

:As with other Speed Star vehicles, the figure displayed on the back of Topspin's card has several color variations compared to the final product, such that the figure on the cardback is much brighter in several regards:

:*The cardback depicts greyish weapons being mounted on the vehicles, while the final product mounts weapons that are almost black.

:*The cardback depicts a bright blue and an equally bright red, while the final product uses duller shades. The result is that while the robot mode on the final figure is almost the same color as the black backing, the robot mode on the cardback is clearly visible.

:*The cardback depicts white paint on the lip of the car, which is clearly visible above his head in robot mode; this strip is absent on the final product.

*'''Autobot Topspin''' (Basic, 2011)

: ''[[Stealth Force]]'' Topspin is a non-transforming (to a robot, that is) stock car. Instead, he features an [[attack mode]] of sorts, wherein pulling or pushing his spoiler will deploy/retract various weapons from his rear wheels, running boards/door halves, side windows, front wheels, and hood. He uses [[Sticker|decal]]s for the "LOWE'S" marking on his trunk, and for the small sponsor markings near his front wheels.

{{-}}

==Notes==
*Topspin's robot mode features "sunglasses", a big "chin" and a "{{w|mullet (haircut)|mullet}}", making him resemble a stereotypical NASCAR fan.
*According to a profile during FOX's coverage of the 2011 Daytona 500, the real-world Topspin prop car has 510 horsepower and a 11:1 compression ratio. The real NASCAR #48 has 850 horsepower and a 12:1 compression ratio.
*As part of the promotion for ''Dark of the Moon'', the film prop versions of Topspin, [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]], and [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] made appearances at the [[2011]] Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on [[February 20]]. They appeared both off the track as display cars, and on the track, participating in the ceremonial first lap.
**As an aside, FOX commentator Mike Joy referred to Topspin as "Wrecker", which is the name of his team, not the character's actual name.
*Early working names for him included '''Tempest''' and '''Warpath'''.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
* In January of 2011, an Idaho newspaper<ref>[http://magicvalley.com/news/local/article_d4f374a4-d960-5589-8d0c-be37df66fc40.html?mode=story "Rupert's Fagerbakke finds a voice that is truly golden"]</ref> announced [[Bill Fagerbakke]] as the voice of a "Chevy Impala stock car" that would appear in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' (presumably meaning one of the three [[Wrecker]]s, who share that base altmode). Why Fagerbakke did not end up voicing any of the Wreckers in the final cut of the film is unknown. Considering Topspin never spoke in the film, it's possible his voice would have been provided by Faggerbakke had he been in the film.
**Since then, Topspin was the only one of the three Wreckers (and for that matter, the only new Autobot in the third film) not to have any spoken lines. That is eventually fixed six years later in ''The Last Knight'', where he speaks in a Southern accent.
*Despite showing kibble based on {{w|Jimmie Johnson}}'s Lowe's sponsored Chevrolet Impala SS, his concept art shows him with the headlights of a Toyota Camry.
*In ''The Last Knight'', Topspin somewhat inexplicably sports Leadfoot's head. This may be because, as Topspin had no dialogue in ''Dark of the Moon'', his own head model had never been rigged to speak, but this is purely conjectural.
**When the film was released, it was unclear whether or not "Volleybot" was meant to actually be a new character or Topspin. A later Transformers Fan Favorite poll held on the Transformers Movie web site credited Topspin as appearing in both ''Dark of the Moon'' and ''The Last Knight'', along with using a picture of Volleybot as his mug shot, confirming that Volleybot is in fact Topspin.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/official-confirmation-that-volleybot-is-topspin.1122432/]</ref>

:''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Rotf soundwave satellite mode.jpg|thumb|375px|Earth beeelooowww us, drifting, falling...]]
'''Soundwave''', the Decepticon communications officer and one of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s staunchest supporters, doesn't just master the frequencies that carry information across our planet, he revels in them. Stationed high in the upper atmosphere and capable of processing millions of data streams at once, he is fully capable of taking over communications on a planetary scale. Whether he uses this to direct civilization or destroy it remains to be seen.

Soundwave has two extremely powerful weapons: his spread of [[sonic cannon]]s... and Megatron. If any Decepticon crosses him, he does not hesitate to send a full record of said Decepticon's failures to Megatron, almost certainly ensuring an untimely demise. His lofty position has made [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] suspicious, so Soundwave has his minion [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] keep an eye on the [[Air Commander]] if he gets out of hand. Soundwave is also nearly defenseless in space, as his devastating sonic cannons only work within the atmosphere.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Soundwave Battle Bio]</ref>

Besides Ravage, Soundwave works well with [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]], [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], [[Rumble (ROTF)|Rumble]], [[Beastbox (ROTF)|Beastbox]], [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]], [[Doombox]], and (possibly) [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Howlback (BB)|Howlback]].

==Fiction==
===Movies===
{{note|The six movies are the primary component of the live-action movie continuity family. Their events should be taken as canon for all other pieces of fiction listed below, unless otherwise specified.}}
====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English, European French, Castilian Spanish, Italian), [[Daisuke Gōri]] (Japanese)|[[Zhang Yaohan]] (Chinese), [[Horst Lampe]] (German), [[Leonardo García]] (American Spanish), [[Stéphane Rivard]] (Canadian French)}}
[[File:ROTF-Soundwaveface.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Next time, Gadget. Next time.]]
By the late 2000s, Soundwave received a transmission from [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], who was tailing [[Mikaela Banes]], and instructed him to obtain a surviving shard of the [[AllSpark]] in her possession. He found a satellite transmitting a conversation between [[NEST]] and the [[United States military]]. Tapping into it with his tentacles to listen, Soundwave overheard [[Theodore Galloway]] mention another shard of the AllSpark in storage at [[Diego Garcia]], and of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s burial in the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. Formulating a plan, Soundwave waited until it would be nightfall on Diego Garcia, then ejected [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] (who was equipped with [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] and the [[Microcon (ROTF)|microcons]] that form [[Reedman]]) to Diego Garcia to steal the shard. Once they had stolen the shard, they reunited with some [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] and managed to resurrect their leader.

[[File:ROTF Soundwave ejects Ravage.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|M.A.D. Cat, eject!]]
Soundwave remained in space, tapping into the satellite he had found. When Megatron decided to reveal the [[Transformer]]s presence on [[Earth]] after killing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Soundwave issued the mobilization order to the waiting troops on the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''. As the Decepticons streaked toward Earth, Soundwave tracked down [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky]] in [[France|Paris]]. He called Judy on her cellphone, demanding to know where Sam was, which the human dismissed as a prank call by a pervert. This allowed the Decepticons to track them down and capture them to use as bait for Sam. When the CIA discovered that Sam was in [[Egypt]], Soundwave relayed the information to the Decepticons. During [[Operation: Firestorm]], Soundwave blocked the satellites covering the Egyptian area, making things appear normal. General [[Morshower]] was unconvinced though and got other local informants to know what was happening at the [[pyramid]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Soundwave’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]]," and "[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]," the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]," and the storybooks "[[The Last Prime]]," "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]." In the comic, Megatron rendezvoused with Soundwave after killing Optimus, making the demand for Sam Witwicky himself, which Soundwave broadcast through the satellite he clutched.}}

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English), [[Jirō Saitō]] (Japanese)|[[Gai Wenge]] (Chinese), [[Horst Lampe]] (German), [[Leonardo García]] (American Spanish), [[Mario Bombardieri]] (Italian), [[Bernard Métraux]] (European French), [[Stéphane Rivard]] (Canadian French)}}
During the 1970s, Soundwave had tried to hide the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'s presence on the [[moon (moon)|moon]] by gaining human contacts in the [[United States of America|United States]] and [[Soviet Union]], whose creative accounting would render further trips to the moon financially unfeasible. One of these was [[Dylan Gould|Dylan Gould's]] father, while Dylan himself would later accept Soundwave as a ''client''.

[[File:DOTM-LaserbeakSoundwave.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Carly will wonder why her car has claw marks all over the door.]]
With the failure of the schemes of The Fallen and Megatron, the Decepticons now planned to alert [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to the ''Ark'''s existence so he could revive [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] with the [[Matrix of Leadership]] for them.

[[File:DOTM-Soundwavecar.jpg|thumb|225px|Unknown to Speed, Racer X is secretly his older brother, Soundwave, who ran away from home years ago!]]
Soundwave went undercover on Earth as a [[Mercedes-Benz]] SLS AMG. He and his winged minion [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] visited the incapicitated Megatron in [[Africa]], and informed the ex-tyrant that Optimus had discovered an Ark fuel cell at the [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]], and had recovered the body of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] and five of his Space Bridge [[pillar]]s. Megatron decided it was time to eliminate loose ends in their plan, so Soundwave sent Laserbeak to further draw out the Autobots by killing many of their human contacts, including [[Jerry Wang]].

[[File:Soundwavecapturescarly.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Stupid dog! You made me look bad! ''*whrr-tschzz-tschzz-tschzz-chk*'' Oooga-booga-booga!]]
Meanwhile, the disguised Soundwave was "given" by their human ally Dylan, the one human they did not kill, as a gift to [[Sam Witwicky]]'s new girlfriend [[Carly Spencer]]. He was used as a car to transport Carly to Dylan's party. During the party, Sam and Carly tried to leave, only for Soundwave and Laserbeak to reveal themselves, and the sonic warrior took Carly hostage. Gould explained his relationship with the two Decepticons while Soundwave used his tentacles to threaten Carly, and the pair forced Sam into finding out the Autobot's plan for a counter-attack.

[[File:DOTM-Soundwaveexecute.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Look, I'm kind of busy. Hey [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], want to do some of my lines for me?]]
During the Decepticon occupation of [[Chicago]], Soundwave took several Autobots prisoner until Gould stated that things had gotten personal and the Autobots needed a lesson of respect, and Soundwave happily concurred: "No prisoners, only trophies". He and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] began by executing [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]]. He then selected [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to be his victim and dragged him forward, pushing him onto the body of his fallen comrade. He then told the Autobot to turn around as was about to execute him, but he was distracted by [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]]'s sabotage of a Decepticon aircraft carrier, raining [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. The Autobot scout took advantage of this small slip of opportunity and punched Soundwave as they battled through the chaos, causing him to drop one of his guns. Evading Soundwave's [[sonic cannon]] blasts, Bumblebee eventually blasted part of Soundwave's leg, causing him to drop his remaining gun, and he lunged at the Autobot. Bumblebee then delivered the final blow by throwing an uppercut to Soundwave's torso and shooting upwards, disintegrating the Decepticon's head and killing him. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Soundwave’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]"; the "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[Optimus Prime's Friends and Foes]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]."}}

====''The Last Knight'' film====
When [[Viviane Wembly]] was abducted by [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]], she remarked that her captor had better be a famous Transformer, like Shockwave or Soundwave, perhaps unaware that both Decepticons were deceased. Hot Rod retorted that he was more impressive than either of them. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

====''Bumblebee'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Jon Bailey]] (English), [[Takaki Ōtomari]] (Japanese)|[[Diego Valenzuela]] (Latin-American Spanish)}}
{{note|''Bumblebee'' takes place before the other films (supposedly), but was released last. As such, it is placed at the bottom here.}}
[[File:BumblebeeMovieSoundwave.jpeg|thumb|left|250px|"Operation: Fanwank."]]
After [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had disappeared, Soundwave and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] assumed command of the Decepticon army. Under their joint leadership, the Decepticons conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], forcing the Autobots to abandon the planet. When the Decepticons launched a final assault on the last Autobot city, Soundwave's arrival on the battlefield and subsequent order for the Decepticons to attack prompted [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to call for his forces to retreat to the Autobots' launchpad. Despite the Seekers destroying the launchpad, all the Autobots but Prime managed to escape immediate danger. When Prime fell back to ground level, Soundwave unleashed [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to attack the Autobot leader and signaled the other Decepticons to surround him. Despite this, Prime managed to evade capture and eventually leave the planet. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}
{{-}}

===IDW movie comics===
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Soundwave stood by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s side on Unification Day, when a new era of Cybertronian government was ushered in that saw the planet ruled by two bodies—Megatron's [[Defense Force]], of which Soundwave became a part, and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s [[Science Division]]. Megatron's lust for power soon led him to claim dominion over Optimus, however, and Soundwave was silently present when Megatron summoned Optimus and made this declaration. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance4Soundwave.jpg|thumb|left|100px|No full body shot in the movie or comics.]]

Some time later, Megatron came under the influence of [[The Fallen]], who sought to be freed from the [[sarcophagus]] that was his trans-dimensional prison. To this end, Soundwave was assigned captaincy of the newly built spacecraft ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', which would take the sarcophagus across the galaxy to find the world on which The Fallen had built a [[Star Harvester]] millennia beforehand. Soundwave and his crew left Cybertron with The Fallen's sarcophagus just before the outbreak of war. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

After thousands of years of searching the stars, Soundwave's ''Nemesis'' detected the faint energy signature of the [[AllSpark]], which had been jettisoned from Cybertron in their absence. Unfortunately for them, so did [[Ark (DOTM)|the Ark]], an Autobot spacecraft that had also left Cybertron after the ''Nemesis'' and which was teleporting around space and time via a [[space bridge]]. The Ark materialized partially within the ''Nemesis'', the intersection of their molecules crippled both ships. While the Ark teleported away, leaving a temporary space bridge portal lingering in its wake, the Decepticons managed to set the ''Nemesis'' down on a barren moon. For the first time, The Fallen, recognizing the space bridge as the technology of [[Dynasty of Primes|his people]], spoke directly into Soundwave's mind, directing him to take the Decepticons aboard the smaller ship ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' and follow the Ark through the portal. Complying, Soundwave's crew found themselves hurled into the future, appearing in the vicinity of Earth in the year [[1961]] alongside the Ark. The Autobot craft proceeded to crash on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], and Soundwave quickly determined to keep [[human]]kind from plundering the treasures it contained: mysterious [[pillar]]s that he had his crew set about removing from the ship and stockpiling. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

Unfortunately for Soundwave, humanity detected the crash of the Ark upon the Moon, and a "space race" began between the [[United States of America]] and the [[Soviet Union]] to be the first to reach the Moon. The Soviets were first to send probes that photographed the moon's surface: in [[1963]], their [[Luna 4]] captured an image of the pillars as they were being moved. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} Realizing the necessity of infiltrating the ranks of humanity in order to control the flow of data, Soundwave had the [[Alice (ROTF)|Pretender]] kill and replace Spetsnaz agent [[Alisa Morozov]] in [[1964]]; then, in [[1965]], as the Soviets' [[Luna 6]] was in flight, he sent her to [[Soviet Research Station Oktober]] to massacre the scientists awaiting data the probe would send back. Convinced by the Pretender that Humanity could be subverted towards their ends, Soundwave struck a deal with the sole surviving scientist, [[Voskhod]], to curtail further Soviet moon missions. In the process, the Pretender also learned that both America and Russia allegedly had a Cybertronian in their individual custodies, but Soundwave dismissed them as rumors, preferring to focus on the trail of the AllSpark and the Star Harvester. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 2}}

[[File:RisingStorm2 soundwave voskhod.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Soundwave is the master at the beautiful art of photo-bombing.]]

Realizing that a captive American secret agent, [[Bill Simmons]] had escaped from Research Station Oktober during the Pretender's attack, Soundwave spent two months scanning information lines in search of him, eventually discovering him when he returned to North America and made contact with his superiors. Although the Pretender failed to finish him off, Soundwave had at last learned of Simmons's well-hidden organization: [[Sector Seven]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 3}} In [[1969]], he monitored the launch of their [[Ghost 1]] craft, believing it to be of greater importance than the [[Apollo 11]] moon mission, but his guess proved incorrect: Thanks to Soundwave's being distracted, astronauts [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Buzz Aldrin]] were able to carry out the first brief excavation of the Ark. Incensed by his failure, Soundwave grew even more determined to find a mole within the American space program, and he set [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to find prospective candidates. He found a [[NASA]] accountant named Gould and tapped the stock market to provide enough financial persuasion for the human to manipulate the NASA budget to halt moon missions from [[1972]] onwards. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Soundwave spent the rest of the 1970s recruiting more human pawns to prevent the Ark from being rediscovered. Eventually, in [[1979]], deciding that everything was secure, he and his crew departed Earth on the ''Longshot'' to reconvene with The Fallen back aboard the ''Nemesis'', but with no space bridge portal to teleport them, the voyage took something in the vicinity of fourteen years. A brief talk with The Fallen yielded information: in Soundwave's absence, Megatron had visited the ''Nemesis'', on the trail of the AllSpark. Soundwave realized that his leader must have been one of the Cybertronians in captivity on Earth, and immediately departed to return to the planet, putting most of his crew in statis. Before leaving, he presented The Fallen with one of the pillars from the Ark; after he left, The Fallen used it to finally free himself from his sarcophagus. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

[[File:SoundwaveAllianceIssue2.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|Alas, poor Dreadwing. I knew him, Ravage.]]

During Soundwave's return voyage to Earth, Decepticon forces under the command of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] had arrived on the planet and freed Megatron, only for both the Decepticon leader and the AllSpark to be destroyed in battle in [[Mission City]]. Soundwave returned one month after his leader's death, but detoured briefly to investigate a space-time anomaly on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. There, he discovered a jury-rigged space bridge created from one of the Ark's pillars (created by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]), the remains of [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing's]], an imprint of [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy's]] body, {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} and a message from Starscream that informed him of the recent events on Earth. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} Soundwave immediately made contact with Starscream, who had just finished battling [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]], and ordered him back to the ''Longshot'' to awaken the rest of his crew from stasis. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}{{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} Dispatching what few crew members were currently active to begin searching the planet for the Star Harvester, Soundwave assumed the form of a satellite and took up orbit around Earth. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

As the search continued, Soundwave re-established contact with his many human pawns, including Gould's son [[Dylan Gould|Dylan]], who had inherited his father's role as Decepticon liaison. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Months after the battle in Egypt, Soundwave detected [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] was alive and active, and was furious someone else was ordering his pet around. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5|Tales of the Fallen #5}} Monitoring Earth, he observed [[Alice (ROTF)|Alice]]'s attempt at flight and subsequent termination by [[NEST]]. [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], who he'd dispatched to [[Kingdom Petrochemicals]] to investigate Ravage's status, reported back that there were non-NEST humans poking around there, so Soundwave sent in [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]], [[Rumble (ROTF)|Rumble]] and [[Beastbox (ROTF)|Beastbox]] to attack. Surprisingly [[Initiative|the humans]] were a match for the Decepticons, and Soundwave moved in to take direct action, however at that point the Autobots arrived. Soundwave destroyed [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]], but when the human forces pulled out, so too did Soundwave. To his surprise, he found he wasn't able to track where the departing humans had gone. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

[[File:Nefarious3 Soundwave bondage.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67]]
Ravage was reactivated by Buzzsaw, allowing Soundwave to access his memories. Acting on one memory, he sent Buzzsaw to help [[Strike Team Ursa]] while he rendezvoused with Ravage for an examination. When Strike Team Ursa triggered defenses, Soundwave warned them to withdraw. They did, but ran into [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], and Soundwave was forced to come to their aid. Unfortunately, Optimus Prime was also on the way, and Soundwave was no match for the Autobot leader. He tried to suggest it would be advantageous for them to let him go, but Optimus took him into custody. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2|Nefarious #2}} Soundwave was secured and put on a plane bound for [[Odessa]], [[Texas]], however the plane was shot down by Buzzsaw, and then [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s team had [[Dirt Boss (ROTF)|Dirt Boss]] and Soundwave's minions to contend with as well. Soundwave tried to get Ravage to free him, but the cat's free will was overridden by an external force. In the end, Soundwave was too much trouble and Bumblebee let the Decepticons have him back. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}}

Soundwave tracked Ravage back to the [[Initiative base]] in [[California]]. After sending the other Decepticons in first to test the base's defenses, he moved in himself, only to find that the foe he faced had an army of brainwashed Transformers. He somehow escaped them and proceeded to the NEST base in Odessa. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} He led the Autobots to the base's location, though he "neglected" to tell them about the brainwashed Transformers, but the base was gone, leading to the conclusion it was somehow mobile. Tapping into traffic cameras, he traced the base to [[Oregon]]. When they got there and began the assault, Soundwave was snootily dismissive of the Autobots' combat banter. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} While the Initiative was distracted, Soundwave was able to reactivate Ravage and send [[Reedman]] to attack Initiative head [[Carter Newell]]. When Newell tried to flee with the AllSpark, Soundwave ordered Buzzsaw to assist Optimus Prime in pursuing him. It was only after everything was over that NEST discovered that the Initiative databanks had been mysteriously picked clean... {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

Adopting a new body, Soundwave then took up residence at Megatron's base in [[Namibia]]. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} When [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] discovered [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]'s [[Driller]] in the [[Adirondack Mountains]], Soundwave was present to jam their communications and then send his minions to attack them. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} With Elita-One leaving to warn the Autobots about Shockwave in person, the other two were surrounded by Soundwave and his animals. They chose to sacrifice themselves using a powerful bomb, though Soundwave managed to escape the explosion and return to Namibia. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===Titan movie comics===
Soundwave appeared unknown to the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} He commanded a small Decepticon cell, based out of [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]' moon [[Phobos (moon)|Phobos]]. While nominally under the command of [[The Fallen]], The Fallen was merely in ''contact'' with the Decepticons and currently incapacitated. This left Soundwave free to do his ''own'' thing... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[File:Titan4 Soundwaveinterrogate.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only... Oops, wrong movie.]]

One of his goals was to find the location of the [[Tomb of the Primes]]. The aging [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]] [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] knew it but would only tell it to The Fallen. ''Strangely'' unwilling to put The Fallen and Ransack in touch and ''oddly'' preferring to personally know the location of [[Matrix of Leadership|the key to a monstrous superweapon]] himself {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}, Soundwave turned to the dormant Seekers instead. He directed [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] to [[Las Vegas]] to carve up one such Seeker for its "memory tree". He refused to explain the reason ''why'' to Grindor. When [[NEST]] showed up, Soundwave appeared contemptuous of them and their [[Human|whole species]], noting Transformers owned this world ''long'' before mankind. To Grindor, he simply said to get the memory tree to him and not get captured. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}}

Later, [[Transformers Comic issue 2.2|on The Fallen's orders]], he directed [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to find [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], find out what they knew about The Fallen's plans and who they'd told it to, and then terminate them. When Ravage had cornered Mudflap, Soundwave talked through him and attempted to interrogate the Autobot; this failed, with Mudflap not even being bothered about who Soundwave was. While the hit was a bust, Soundwave ensured the base was bugged. As a result, he discovered [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] distrusted the twins.

[[File:Titan6 SoundwaveIAm.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"[[Sanctuary|There you go]], fellas!"]]

This was something Soundwave found interesting {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.4|New Tricks}} and he hatched a plan to ensure the twins were believed to be traitors: which would ensure nobody would follow up on their intell! Somehow, he got [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] to [[Diego Garcia]] at the same time the twins were there. He then had [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] get captured, so that when he was taken to [[Diego Garcia]] Scorponok would free him. With the Decepticon attacking at the same time the twins were distracting Optimus and on top of previous acts, they seemed guilty and were taken into custody. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}} Soundwave sent [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] to blow up the soldiers escorting the twins to orbitary exile, and [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] parachuted in to convince them to defect. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] tracked down the twins—who had kidnapped [[Sam Witwicky]] in a failed attempt to convince him to speak to Optimus on their behalf - Soundwave finally landed on Earth and blasted the scout. Soundwave told the twins The Fallen would offer them sanctuary, something they seemed happy to accept... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[File:Titan7 Soundwave GO!.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]

Poor Soundwave soon had to put ''up'' with the twins, as they insisted on chatting through his briefings and dissing the other 'cons. He ''just'' about, through ominous glares, got them to pay attention to their mission: to capture Ransack and bring him in to be "re-educated". This, however, was all a big con on the twins: he just wanted them as expendable bait to draw out Ransack, so Grindor and Sideways could knock him out. Soundwave also spoke for the entire Decepticons when he said that if the twins survived any encounter, ''kill them anyway''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.7|Turnabout}}

[[File:Titan8 Soundwave FWATT.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|KERPOW!]]

Once Ransack was in his hands, Soundwave beat the snot out of him and demanded the location to the Tomb of the Primes. The Seeker still refused to talk, and insulted Soundwave as being a mere cog who could barely understand the big picture. He almost killed Ransack for that, having to be held back by Starscream (don't want The Fallen ''knowing'' you've killed his Seeker!), but the elder continued to mock him for believing he had freedom of action just because The Fallen was absent.

When the twins, revealed to have been faking their defection, returned to beat the crap out of the Phobos base, an annoyed Soundwave ended their brief success with overwhelming violence. Unfortunately, before he could kill the Autobots, Ransack took the opportunity to leg it; desperate to stop The Fallen from being informed of what he'd been up to, Soundwave gave chase and the Phobos base was abandoned. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}} As he's still around later, it seems Soundwave made ''sure'' Ransack never made it to The Fallen...

Post-Fallen and instructed by Megatron to "hound" humans and "get up close and personal" in his attacks, Soundwave cut a swathe of destruction across the North Atlantic, destroying ships as he headed on a course towards Florida. Identifying his pattern, [[William Lennox]] and [[Robert Epps]] staged an ambush, laying out a cargo ship for Soundwave to attack and then blindsiding him with a volley from a hidden warship. Badly damaged in the surprise assault, Soundwave was forced to retreat, venturing into the confines of...the [[Bermuda Triangle]]! (Dun dun dunnnn!)

[[File:Titan15 Soundwaveghostship.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Bustin' makes ghosts feel good!]]

Amidst the storm clouds, Soundwave discovered another ship that he decided to attack out of spite, but faltered when his databanks identified it as a [[United States Navy]] vessel that had been lost in [[1918]]. Caught off-guard by a volley of primitive weaponsfire (even for humans!) and damaged even further, Soundwave tried to limp away, only to cross paths with ''another'' mystery ship, this one allegedly from [[1941]]! Pelted from both sides and unable to get a handle on his situation, Soundwave fled high into the air, out of the ships' range...and right in the path of a squadron of [[World War II]] bombers! Rattled by their machine gun fire and unable to overcome their superior flying skills, Soundwave decided to break upwards...''all'' the way upwards. Whatever strange chronal chaos he had encountered in the depths of the Bermuda Triangle, Soundwave concluded that the solar radiation, meteor showers and space debris he would face on the ''[[Moon (moon)|Moon]]'' would be ''much'' safer! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.15|Making Waves}}

[[File:Titan3-3 soundwaveyoutwo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Look out! Soundwave is pretending to be the Fat Controller!]]

When the Autobots were about to discover an ''Ark'' fragment that could lead them to [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], Soundwave and Starscream sprang into action. From his position in high orbit, Soundwave hacked and took over NEST's defensive guns and left the [[Fiesole Cathedral]] wide open for Starscream to infiltrate. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.1|Fight for Fiesole}}

Striking out on his own and using a brand new body, Soundwave scanned the Earth for a large seam of [[gold]] and, having discovered the legendary [[El Dorado]] in [[Colombia]], used the human [[Tanto Gang]] to help him dig it up. Once they found it, he began shooting at them: he wanted it for himself so he could flood the markets with gold and crash the economy! NEST attempted to stop him and he fought Optimus Prime directly, but in the end he was driven off when the Tanto Gang triggered a bomb for revenge. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.2|Blood And Gold}}

Soundwave then absconded to the [[Spain|Sierra Nevada]] mountains and allowed NEST to find him, pretending to be injured from the battle... Only to open fire with full weaponry upon being tracked down, injuring [[Robert Epps]] and nearly killing Bumblebee. When Optimus arrived to back up his troops, Soundwave was able to force him to agree to a fight without weapons (Optimus's weapons anyway) and attempted to blast him off the mountaintop. Unfortunately for him, he got too into it and his sonic blasts began to cause avalanches, while Optimus was able to locate a fissure in the rock and sneak up behind him. Surprised, Soundwave was shoved into the avalanche he'd started and sent plummeting down. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.3|Dealing with the Devil}}

[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was in talks with Soundwave to get him to join in the attack on Earth and be in [[Michael Bay]]'s next documentary. Soundwave is known for talking in several frequencies at once, apparently just to be annoying. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|#15's Star Screams}} Starscream doesn't trust Soundwave but notes his intelligence, and so views him as a worthy successor in the event of his death. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|#21's Star Screams}}

When Soundwave and [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] descended on [[Diego Garcia]], they interrupted an Autobot mission briefing. While Ironhide headed outside to face Bludgeon, Bumblebee remained inside to guard the Autobots' precious [[datatrax|data tracks]] from Soundwave. Bumblebee fired shot after shot, but Soundwave was able to simply use his sonic powers to repel the attacks back towards Bumblebee. However, Bumblebee gambled that Soundwave would be unable to repel a great number of attacks simultaneously, and the Decepticon was overwhelmed by Bumblebee's automatic weaponry. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 1}} Bumblebee confined Soundwave inside a vacuum-sealed electromagnetic bubble, where his sonic weaponry would be useless. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 2}}

[[File:Soundwavefires-SatelliteMeltdown.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
From Earth orbit, Soundwave witnessed Megatron being defeated by Optimus one too many times. Blaming the humans' involvement for the Decepticons' continued failures in defeating the Autobots, Soundwave decided to damage relations between the two species. Soundwave then dispatched [[Ratbat (ROTF)|Ratbat]] and [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]], setting them loose upon a human city to wreck havoc. When human law enforcement contacted Optimus, Soundwave tampered with their communications in order to send the Autobots to another location, far away from his menagerie's own. Soundwave then broadcast a message to Earth's population, declaring that the Autobots had abandoned them. Soundwave's plan failed when Sam Witwicky managed to find Optimus and inform him of Soundwave's ruse. After taking care of Buzzsaw and Ratbat, Optimus met with the human military, and had them have the satellite to which Soundwave was attached to self-destruct. Soundwave was sent plummeting into outer-space, cursing the Autobots for foiling his plan. {{storylink|Satellite Meltdown}}

===''Unite for the Universe''===
When Starscream upgraded himself into a more powerful form by recycling the remains of fallen Decepticons into himself, he lost his mental stability and began to run wild. Enraged that Starscream was sowing destruction without his authorization, Megatron decided to put an end to his rampage. Soundwave argued that perhaps they should allow Starscream his power play, as he was causing great damage to their human enemies, but Megatron wouldn't hear it. Acquiescing to Megatron's demands, Soundwave dispatched [[Brimstone (TF 2010)|Brimstone]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] to deal with the rogue Decepticon. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====
[[File:ROTF 360PS3PC DLC Soundwave.jpg|thumb|Ah, those cough drops are finally working!]]
Soundwave coordinated the Decepticons' movement on Earth, but never stooped so low as to join field operations - not even taking part in their regular dissing contests - er, group discussions following missions. He often provided "mission control" to the Decepticons in the field. However, when he did step down from on high to mingle with the commoners, he could easily hold his own in battle. Among Soundwave's arsenal was a little friend in the form of a turret which could literally stomp the yard - er, oh hell. Just read the next paragraph in italics.

{{Note|On [[August 27]], [[2009]], Soundwave was made available as a playable character as optional downloadable content for Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 owners. However, instead of the silver colour scheme established on his regular release toys and movie appearance, the character model was coloured blue, like [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] Soundwave figure from the ''Gathering at Nemesis'' figure pack. His special attack in robot mode consisted of a deployable turret that generated earthquakes, a reference to [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], who was one of Generation 1 Soundwave's tape minions. While using his special in vehicle mode deployed a radar jammer pod in the sky that also fired a laser at nearby enemies, a likely reference to Laserbeak, another of Generation 1 Soundwave's tape minions.}}

Soundwave - surprise - coordinated the Decepticon movement on Earth from space, often guiding Decepticons in the field. Soundwave dispatched Reedman and Ravage to retrieve a fragment of the AllSpark from NEST, and directed the Decepticons to find Megatron's body in a NEST base in the middle of the Atlantic.

===Transformers Autobots/Decepticons===
Soundwave was the Decepticon movement's coordinator, loyally serving The Fallen and Megatron (the former likely because he was out to bring Megatron back), making no effort to hide his disdain for Starscream's gig as Decepticon leader. He regularly coordinated and provided intel for Decepticons in the field, and was more than happy to chew out the troops if they sucked at their job, and was pleased to have Megatron back.

However, this pleasure likely turned to boiling hatred when The Fallen promoted the new recruit to Decepticon leader and replaced Megatron, when the recruit killed Optimus Prime in Egypt at the Sun Harvester.

During Megatron's exile after the Egypt skirmish, Soundwave remained in orbit, monitoring Autobot transmissions and messages to send to his leader for information. Soon, Soundwave was ordered to disconnect from the satellite as Bumblebee had implanted a virus into his network which allowed the Autobots to follow Decepticon operations.

After landing on the planet and taking the form of an SUV, he was ordered to destroy a base that formerly served as a [[Sector Seven]] facility. Megatron required Soundwave to do so because it contained information on their ally contained in Russia. Soundwave completed this with the utmost efficiency, destroying every Autobot encountered and displaying great courage as he blasted Autobot scouts from the inside of a laser cage. After exploring the corridors of the base and having Laserbeak incapacitate anyone standing in his way, Soundwave destroyed the base and escaped the erupting base unscathed, as did his condor companion.

He later helped escort Megatron to [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave's]] location in a cryogenics facility in a Soviet country, and appeared in Africa with Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave as Megatron announced his plans were far from over. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] met with Soundwave to report that Megatron had ordered a two-pronged assault, with Starscream attacking a nearby [[NEST]] facility, and Soundwave was to create a diversion. Soundwave was skeptical that Megatron had actually ordered anything of the sort, and promised to double-check with his leader later. After causing a sizable diversion by knocking down a bunch of buildings, Soundwave went off and infiltrated another base. While hunting for the NEST computer, he was contacted by Starscream whose loud demands that Soundwave maintain stealth were more of a hindrance than anything. Soundwave managed to retrieve the data he was after, and while [[Crowbar]] kept the Autobots busy, he escaped. After he returned to the Decepticons' Siberian base, he received a message from Megatron—the Autobots had planted a number of radar emplacements around which were broadcasting a jamming signal, and Soundwave had to go around hacking them so Megatron's team could survey their immediate surroundings. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons|Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons}}

*'''Soundwave''' (Legends Class, [[2009]])
**''Japanese ID number'': '''EZ-16'''
:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] figures, Soundwave transforms into a simplified version of his satellite altmode. The satellite head is completely covered in blue, however. Amusingly enough, his chest is sculpted in his Deluxe toy's flipped-up 'mode' (with the three circles showing) but is painted in the colors of the Deluxe's flipped-down form (shown on the Deluxe toy's packaging).

:The quality of Soundwave's head paint operations vary from figure-to-figure: Most had his blue paint carefully applied on the crest, while others have an extra paint on his upper left eye.

:Soundwave also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen [[EZ Collection]] sets.

He was part of the Japanese ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'' promotion, and was only available to those who bought the Voyager Class "[[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] VS [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]" set at Amazon.jp and Yamada Denki stores.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-04'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ravage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys|Ravage]] missile
:Part of the initial Movie Preview wave, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Soundwave is a [[Triple Changer]], transforming into a satellite and a Cybertronian jet, which are not exactly what could be described as "distinct" from one another. In all three modes, Soundwave features a spring-loaded missile launcher which fires a missile intended to resemble Ravage, in reference to the scene in the film in which he launches the feline fiend down to Earth. In his (rather stocky) robot mode, Soundwave has blue light piping in his visor, but it is disabled, having been painted over in red; his other modes feature a second, armored version of his face, which is stored on the back of his robot mode. Probably to avoid giving the toy a very obviously two-headed robot mode, the alternate face lacks any paint details, and has an unpainted blue visor. Soundwave features numerous red and gold [[Paint operation|paint application]]s which are ''very'' cleverly and subtly positioned around his body to replicate similarly-colored and -positioned details on the [[Soundwave (G1)|original Soundwave toy]].

:The configuration for the satellite mode depicted in the toy's instructions is not the way Soundwave appears in the film, featuring a different angling for the panels on his shoulders. It's not a big change, but transforming the toy in accordance with his movie appearance ''does'' help to distinguish the jet from the satellite a little, since otherwise, virtually the only difference is in the positioning of the large panel "wings".

Surprisingly, the package does not recognize his Cybertron jet mode, instead only acknowledging his satellite mode. His instructions ''do'' still mention his jet mode, though.

*'''Bumblebee / Soundwave''' with '''Rodimus''' (Cyberverse 3-pack, [[2011]])
:Part of a [[Walmart]] exclusive pack alongside [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeSoundwaveRodimus|Bumblebee]] and [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Rodimus]], ''Cyberverse'' Soundwave is a redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Soundwave, with a new deco inspired by the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''Gathering at Nemesis'' gift set (see above), which in turn was heavily influenced by [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]. The toy is mostly blue and gray, with some gold, red, and silver paint details here and there.

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

: All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] products.

*'''Soundwave''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD13'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Sonic Cannon/Interceptor Dish
:Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe-Class [[MechTech]] figures, Soundwave transforms from an officially licensed Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG into a robot. In vehicle mode, he has two MechTech ports on the roof. His large "Sonic Cannon" can transform into an equally large "Interceptor Dish". In robot mode, Soundwave has MechTech ports in each hand and one on each shoulder, and he also has [[C joint]] bars on each leg. He features [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake kibble]] as well, with his vehicle mode front grille being switched out and tucked away for a warped robot mode grille-chest.

:The sixth wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figures was released in Japan on December 21, whilst the US release, along with that of Human Alliance Soundwave, was ultimately cancelled.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=23986]</ref> At [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2012, Hasbro stated that they were trying to find ways to get the figures out to American retailers; this ultimately never came to pass.

:The instructions also depict [[Unreleased toy#Unused pretool heads|a head]] resembling a movie-fied version of [[Blaster (DOTM)|Blaster]], but sadly the retool was never released. The [[:File:TF-DOTM-Deluxe-Blaster-Prototype.jpg|prototype]] was revealed at [[HasCon 2017]].

*'''Soundwave / Mr. Gould''' with '''Laserbeak''' (Human Alliance, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD09'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Dylan Gould#Toys|Mr. Gould]], [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Human Alliance|Laserbeak]], missile
:A new [[Human Alliance]] mold of ''Dark of the Moon'' Soundwave transforms into his SLS AMG mode. He has "'''SUPERIOR'''" [[tampograph]]ed on his [[license plate]] and comes with [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Human Alliance|Laserbeak]] and [[Dylan Gould#Toys|Mr. Gould]].

:As is usual for any Human Alliance figure, Gould (or any other "driver" figure) can can sit on Soundwave's seats in vehicle mode or stand on his hands in robot mode.

:Laserbeak can also transform into a spring-loaded missile-firing cannon for Gould to man, and the cannon itself can [[5 mm post|be pegged]] into any of Soundwave's six MechTech ports: two ports on his shoulders (his right shoulder is the nominal choice, as per the [[instructions]]), a port on top of each of his upper arms, and (rather awkwardly) a port on the sonic cannons on each of his lower arms. In bird mode, Laserbeak can also perch on either of the (flipped out) seats on Soundwave's lower arms via a molded-in [[C joint]] bar on the seats themselves and the bar clips on Laserbeak's heels.

:The pair of sonic cannons on the top of his left lower arm is also a panel that can be flipped open (up to 90 degrees), but since this is undocumented in the instructions, is only usable in robot mode, and doesn't appear to have anything inside it, its purpose remains unknown.

:Finally, as with all large Human Alliance toys, he has a [[gimmick]] concerning his head. It is essentially the same gimmick as [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Human Alliance|Barricade]]'s: his jointed head allows him to open and close his mouth.

:Due to his transformation, he ends up being much smaller than most Human Alliance toys despite being the largest in the film out of the others. He trades his more accurate bulkiness for incredible shortness, being dwarfed by almost all HA toys that transform into sports cars.

:As with many late-wave DOTM products, this toy was not released in the US.

**''Number:'' '''007'''
**''Accessories:'' Hacking tool
:[[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 2|''Cyberverse'' Series 2]] Soundwave is a dark blue and silver redeco/retool of his [[#CyberverseLegion|Legion Class toy]], retooling his other hand to be able to hold ''Cyberverse'' weapons. He comes with the same weapon/tool accessory as the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' Cyberverse Legion Class [[Vehicon (Prime)#Cyberverse|Vehicon]] (later also used by [[Flamewar (Prime)#Cyberverse|Decepticon Flamewar]], in an ever-so-slightly different color). In a bizarre instance of a [[quality control]] error, the figure's [[packaging]] has its [[bio]] printed in white instead of black ink, making it impossible to read on the white background of the card.

:The United States market release of Soundwave used the template for the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]''-based Series 2 Cyberverse Legion Class packaging style but lacked the "Prime" moniker. The [[Multilingual packaging|multilingual]] European market packaging, meanwhile, retained the ''Prime'' title.

Like its predecessor, Darkside Soundwave transforms from a fully licensed Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG into a robot. In vehicle mode, he has two MechTech ports on the roof. In robot mode, he has MechTech ports in each hand and one on each shoulder, and he also has C joint bars on each leg. He features fake kibble as well, with his vehicle mode front grille being switched out and tucked away for a warped robot mode grille-chest. Unlike its predecessor, the large "Sonic Cannon" that was included in the initial release was absent from this release, and Darkside Soundwave actually does not contain any accessories at all.

:Released in Series 1 of ''The Last Knight'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Soundwave changes from robot based on his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'' to a sports car of fictitious origin. He features articulation at his shoulders and waist and his hands are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other small accessories. He shares his transformation engineering with the two [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#The Last Knight|Bumblebee]]s from the same wave. Blind-Bags stamped with the letter 'H' contain Soundwave figures.

*'''Soundwave & Doombox''' (Target exclusive Leader Class, [[2018]])
**''Accessories'': [[Doombox]] Titan Master partner, spotlight/rocket-sled, rifle, shoulder cannon
:''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)#Bumblebee Greatest Hits|Bumblebee Greatest Hits]]'' Soundwave is a retool of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]], who is in turn a retool of ''Titans Return'' [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blaster]]. The figure comes with his [[Titan Master]] partner, [[Doombox]], who transforms into his head. In addition to his classic robot and boombox alternate modes, he can also transform into a "city mode" that can link up to the other base modes in ''Titans Return'', and features numerous 5 mm mounting points for weapons and Titan Master vehicles and turrets, as well as tiny pegs to accommodate many other Titan Master figures.

:In addition to his rifle, Soundwave also comes with his signature cannon "battery", which can plug into his shoulder, or store on his back while he in alt mode. He includes a kind of "rocket-sled" with a seat for a Titan Master pilot which forms the topmost turret of his base mode. The sled stores inside Soundwave's chest compartment in other modes; a notch is cut into its underside to store Doombox while Soundwave is in boombox mode. Much like the ''Titans Return'' figures he is based on, Soundwave possesses the gimmick of being able to store any of the five ''Titans Return'' 'cassettes' inside his chest, as well as ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Buzzsaw]] and the concurrently-released Movie Cassettes [[Howlback (BB)|Howlback]], [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)#Toys|Buzzsaw]], and [[Frenzy (Movie)#Bumblebee|Frenzy]]. He has several (non-functional) ports molded into his back and legs capable of accommodating real-life USB cables, headphone jacks, and power cables.

:He was released as a [[Target]] exclusive in the US, and was available at Argos in the UK.

He also comes with his own Energon Core, which allows Soundwave's vehicle mode to zip in fast speed.

**''Accessories:'' [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Generations|Laserbeak]] minifigure, "[[Namibia|Serengeti Hideout]]" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Soundwave is an all-new mold accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', transforming into a fully-licensed Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in 19 steps. He comes with a non-transforming, mostly-unpainted (aside from red eyes) [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] figure—which can connect to Soundwave's arm using a [[C joint]], or to his vehicle mode roof—along with a cardboard backdrop depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]].

:His headlight piece has a tendency to pop off during transformation to robot mode, thanks to some extremely tight clearances, and his metallic silver paint (which effectively coats him) is prone to chipping in those spots.

:Like the rest of the Deluxe figures in the same wave, Soundwave first saw release at Toys"R"Us shops in Malaysia and independent retailers in Hong Kong.

**''Accessories:'' Stand, "Orbital Espionage" backdrop
:This version of ''Studio Series'' Soundwave is an all-new mold accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', transforming from robot to a Cybertronian satellite in 10 steps, making him the least complex figure. He comes with a stand and a cardboard backdrop display depicting where he resides in Earth's orbit during the film.

:Soundwave's thighs, shoulders are re-used from the ''Dark of the Moon'' toy above and his hands are retooled to have solar panels. Despite the ''Studio Series'' line's goal of being screen-accurate, the lack of his armored face, the short length of his solar panels, and a lack of tentacles means that he is actually less accurate than his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Class toys, with his robot mode seemingly inaccurate to any media that he has appeared before.

:Sadly, he does not include [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] for this release.

*'''Soundwave''' (2010)
**''Series:'' '''Metal Heroes'''
**''Number:'' '''04 of 08''' (only seven released)
:''[[Robot Powered Machines]]'' Soundwave is a small, non-transforming pseudo-Scion XB with his robot mode sculpted underneath. Said robot mode resembles [[Soundwave (WFC)|another Soundwave]] for some reason. The car's wheels feature through-axle construction for speedy racing on flat surfaces. Unlike other RPMs, Soundwave, along with the rest of the Metal Heroes, is made of [[die-cast]] metal.

:RPM Soundwave is probably the most homage-heavy Transformer ever produced: he has [[Soundwave (Animated)|''Animated'' Soundwave]]'s alt mode and a mix between his regular and Electrostatic incarnations "tattoos", [[Soundwave (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' Soundwave]]'s robot mode (which in turn was heavily based on [[Soundwave (G1)|G1 Soundwave]]) and despite this, the bio and toyline clearly identify him as ROTF Soundwave. You can try and add [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Cybertron Soundwave]] to the list if you want, but that would be overkill.

:This toy's American release and the rest of the Metal Heroes were canceled in favor of the [[Speed Stars]] versions of the toys. They have been released in the Philippines, New Zealand and Mexico (at a discounted price compared to past RPM releases), however. Both versions were eventually available at retail in those countries.

*'''Soundwave''' (2010)
**''Series:'' '''Metal Heroes'''
**''Number:'' '''04 of 08'''
:[[Speed Stars]] Soundwave is a [[redeco]] of the RPM vehicle, featuring many differences in comparison to the Robot Powered Machines release. Namely, the Speed Stars version lacks paint in the doors and tail lights, as well as the chest, arms, legs and face of the "robot" mode. The plastic at the bottom of the car is cast in gold instead of bronze. This version also lacks the "Soundwave-Audio" written on the lower part of the doors. The red that borders the rims of his wheels is also not as bright or vibrant.

:This toy was given away free as part of a Daily Mirror promotion in the UK.

:This Soundwave toy is part of the "[[Stealth Force]]" subline, consisting of vehicles without robot modes, but with plenty of flip-out panels with hidden weapons.

He features non-firing weapons hidden all throughout the toy, activated by pulling part of the roof back.

* Soundwave was originally supposed to feature in [[Transformers (film)|''Transformers'']]; he fulfilled both [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]]'s roles, hacking into the CIA headquarters as a portable stereo, then [[size changing|morphed]] into a Humvee to track down [[Sam Witwicky]].<ref>Details from an early script draft [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2213120&postcount=297 summed up here], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2214148&postcount=303 confirmed as authentic by Roberto Orci here].</ref> [[Michael Bay]]'s decision to minimalize the amount of morphing in the film resulted in a change to a helicopter who openly attacks the army. Soundwave and [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] were changed to [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] as the film's location was changed from a jungle to a desert.<ref>[http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=234188&postcount=2008 Roberto Orci post at the official movie boards]
</ref> Soundwave's name remained attached to the separated portable stereo character for a while, but Hasbro felt the resulting character did not properly represent the original Soundwave. He was first renamed Soundbite,<ref>[http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=76662065 Abandoned Soundbite trademark application]</ref> but eventually ended up with the name Frenzy.
*According to the trade paperback, Soundwave was a major character in the third draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]''.
* In early drafts of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Soundwave came to Earth and scanned a black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck form. Artist [[Paul Ozzimo]] created a visualization of this idea, and Hasbro based the Cybertronian satellite form's robot mode on this abandoned concept, particularly a Cybertronian version of the Chevy grill and small headlights on the lower torso. They then combined Ozzimo's body design with an unused, heavily G1-esque head design that had been created by artist [[Josh Nizzi]] (although Soundwave's finalized head design was also incorporated into the toy's satellite mode, in a manner akin to [[kibble#Faux parts|faux parts]]).
* Early artwork for Soundwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' identified him as '''Breakdown''', but considering other names presented on other concept artwork, it was likely just a smokescreen to hide his true identity in case of a leak.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
[[File:TF3HasbroSoundwaveBio.JPG|thumb|upright=1.1|SPOILER ALERT]]
* Before the release of ''Dark of the Moon'', Michael Bay and other official parties tried ''really'' hard to suppress the plot twist of the silver Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG given to Carly by Dylan turning out to be Soundwave's new alternate mode. After the Mercedes had been spotted on the set, with [[Rosie Huntington-Whiteley]] exiting it,<ref name="mercedesset">[http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=67518 DOTM Set Photos], ComingSoon.net, July 2010.</ref> the first hint that it was more than meets the eye came with the trailer for the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|video game]], which showed Soundwave's robot mode with car [[kibble]] such as wheels that heavily resembled those of the Mercedes. In addition, [[Rising Storm issue 3|issue 3]] of ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm]]'' depicted Soundwave's robot mode not only with car kibble, but with a Mercedes star on his chest. Despite this, director Michael Bay insisted that the Mercedes was simply Carly's car, claiming that "Mercedes would never let us make their car into a bad Decepticon. Car company's {{sic}} really frown on that. I can't say what the game company and comics do that's their own thing. They don't have the same constraints movies do. It's Carly's car."<ref name="baynomerc">[http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showthread.php?8724-Update-Is-Soundwave-the-silver-Mercedes-on-set-of-DOTM&p=169598&viewfull=1#post169598 Michael Bay's response to the fan theory that Soundwave is the Silver Mercedes.], April 2011.</ref> On April 19, 2011, an event for promoting the ''Spider-Man: Edge of Time'' and ''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' video games was held in London. As part of this, [[High Moon Studios]] released promotional stills from the ''Dark of the Moon'' game, one of which depicted Soundwave's new robot mode, again with Mercedes parts. However, a news embargo was enforced on the attending press, which was broken by South African video game site [http://egamer.co.za egamer].<ref name="egamera">[http://egamer.co.za/2011/05/exclusive-hands-on-transformers-dark-of-the-moon/ egamer's preview of the ''Dark of the Moon'' video game]</ref> The site was soon asked to take down the article and images, as were various ''Transformers'' fan sites that had reported on the article and mirrored the images. On May 2, 2011, Hasbro's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/ official Transformers website] was given a massive overhaul, including the addition of the new [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm Vector Sigma database]. The entry for Soundwave initially identified his alternate mode as a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, but was soon changed to "satellite". On May 3, 2011, the embargo for the video game article and promotional stills was finally lifted, allowing sites to freely show the image of Soundwave's new robot mode. Whether Mercedes approved of Soundwave's Earth mode or not remains to be seen.
*The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG car prop sported a German/European Union [[license plate]], "'''M JS8509'''", registered in the city of Munich, on the Chicago set for ''Dark of the Moon''.<ref name="chicago">[http://www.flickr.com/photos/aperturesun/archives/date-taken/2010/07/17/ Dark of the Moon Chicago set] at Flickr.</ref> (The design of the plate is slightly inaccurate, as there should be a space between "JS" and "8509" if it were a real German plate. Also, a German car would have a license plate on the front as well.)
*Oddly, despite having a slightly smaller vehicle mode than Bumblebee, [[Size changing|he is much taller]]. Being 22 feet while Bumblebee is just 16 feet. He also towers over Ratchet by 2 feet (Ratchet is 20 feet) despite Ratchet being a Hummer which is clearly much larger than an SLS AMG.
*Soundwave's head design changes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' to ''Dark of the Moon'', transitioning from a visored head to one with two separate optics.
*Soundwave's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by his Generation 1 [[Soundwave (G1)|namesake]].

===Voice===
*Even though [[Frank Welker]] returned to voice Soundwave for the movie, his voice was not vocoded, but rather synthesized in the same way all the other Transformer voices in the movie were. Because of this, the voice he uses is much closer to that of "The Cave of Wonders" from Walt Disney's ''Aladdin'' or Dr. Claw from ''Inspector Gadget'' (both voiced by Welker). However, in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game, Soundwave's voice ([[Peter Jessop]]) is vocoded in a manner similar to that of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]]'s first voice, only with a more musical tone. When [[Isaac C. Singleton, Jr.]] took over the role for the ''Dark of the Moon'' video games, his voice was similarly not vocoded to reflect Welker's on-film voice.
*[[Frank Welker]] voiced Soundwave not only in the English version of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', but also in a large number of foreign dubs. Welker described the process as "very hard".<ref name="welkernewsarama">[http://www.newsarama.com/tv/090915-Animated-Shorts-Welker.html Newsarama interview with Frank Welker], September 2009.</ref> Although his performance was retained for the French, Spanish, and Italian dubs, in other versions his lines were redone by native-speaking actors before the film's release. Welker still retained credit in those foreign versions, leading to confusion:
**German dubbing insiders insist that the voice heard in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is that of [[Horst Lampe]].<ref name="germandub">[http://215072.homepagemodules.de/t511643f11775323-Transformers-Die-Rache-Transformers-Revenge-of-the-Fallen-7.html German dubbing board thread about ROTF, with a discussion about Soundwave's voice]</ref> Lampe was properly credited as the voice of Soundwave in ''Dark of the Moon'', further leading viewers to accept that he also played Soundwave in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.
**The credits for the American-Spanish dub do not specify Welker's role, but Soundwave's voice as heard in the film does not seem to be Welker's. Soundwave is credited in ''Dark of the Moon'' as being played by [[Leonardo García]], who is generally accepted as having played him in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.
*When [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]] is about to be executed, it is clearly Barricade forcing him to move, but an editing error has Barricade speaking in Soundwave's voice.
*In a Seibertron.com podcast featuring [[Jon Bailey]], Soundwave was supposed to say "Operation: Destruction" and/or "Operation: Annihilation" after ejecting [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] as a direct reference to the original cartoon.<ref>[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/twincast-podcast-episode-214-bumblebee/42674/ Seibertron Twincast #214</ref>

===Video games===
* Soundwave was included as a downloadable addition to the roster of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 video game, along with several [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] homages and fellow movie character [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]]. Soundwave's special abilities deploy an aerial jammer pod that looks suspiciously like [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], and an AOE pod that continuously smashes the ground with piledrivers; undoubtedly a nod to Generation 1 [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s minion [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]. According to concept artist [[Ken Christiansen]], his appearance was based more closely on the Deluxe class toy than his movie design.
*In the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]], Soundwave turns into an SUV similar to a Mercedes GLK 350, but in robot mode, his design is the same one used for the movie. In particular, the back of his legs still sports kibble reminiscent of a Mercedes SLS AMG trunk, complete with the letters "SLS" and "AMG" written on it.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Soundwave''' (サウンドウェーブ ''Saundowēbu'')
*''Hungarian:'' '''Fülelő''' ("Listener")
*''Mandarin:'' '''Shēng-pō''' (Taiwan, 聲波, "Soundwave"), '''Shēngbō''' (China, 声波, "Soundwave")

[[File:Allicons.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Okay, which one's Hawk and which one's Animal?]]
'''Allicons''' are another breed of the [[Quintesson]]s' enforcer-units, often used as guards for more important members of the race. They are slightly smarter than the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]], even capable of speech, but free will has been pretty thoroughly removed from their programming, to the point where they will malfunction if resisting a direct order.

They transform into bipedal, vaguely crocodilian creatures.

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Aron Kincaid]] (English, "The Killing Jar")|[[Reinhard Brock]] (German, "The Quintesson Journal")}}
[[File:KupHotrod referencetemplate.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|left]]

A group of Allicons intercepted [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] when the two Autobots were lost on [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]]. Kup used the [[universal greeting]] and offered them [[energon goodie]]s, which made the Allicons friendly... until the goodies ran out. Oops. The Allicons subdued the two Autobots and took them to the Quintessons' court chambers, tossing them into the cell next to [[Kranix (G1)|Kranix]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|The Allicons’ involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the storybook "[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie]]."}}

[[File:Killing Jar Allicon beastmode.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|The better to eat you with!]]
Some Allicons guarded [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], Kup and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]] to their trial after they were captured by the Quintessons during the [[Galactic Olympics]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

A single Allicon later served as the guard for a Quintesson scientist who kidnapped [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]], [[Marissa Faireborn]] and [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]. When the captives escaped, it dueled Wreck-Gar with a spear until the Quintesson's ship started being dragged into a black hole and the whole group had to work together to escape. When the Quintesson tried to flee in the only escape pod and everyone else tried to stop him, the Allicon just blanked out as it couldn't disobey its orders. Eventually they all escaped from the black hole, and the Allicon and its master went off on their own. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (episode)|The Killing Jar}}

An uncharacteristically intelligent Allicon once talked strategy with a judge-type Quintesson. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}}

===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
{{noteukexclusive|Allicons}}
When [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] was threatened with destruction by the growing force of the time storm, the Quintessons activated the Trawler Project to find a new suitable homeworld to relocate to, by force if necessary. Allicon agents were sent out to many worlds to determine their suitability for colonization. But a freak cosmic storm diverted the message canister containing the results to the planet of [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]], where it was recovered by [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s. Wreck-Gar was interrogated by the Quintessons, but provided no useful information. An Allicon led Wreck-Gar to his execution at the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]] pits, but was overpowered by the Junkion and tossed into the pit himself. Wreck-Gar fought past a number of other Allicons before making his escape.

In the meantime, General [[Ghyrik]] led a fleet of Allicons and Quintessons to Earth for Plan B: the taking of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]]!

Ghyrik and the Allicons breached the outer walls using Trident attack crafts, and a commando raid secured the city itself in a matter of minutes. An Allicon soon informed Ghyrik that Phase 2 was underway: the conquest of Cybertron. Other Allicons continued the pursuit of Wreck-Gar away from Quintessa, but he evaded them. Allicon shock troopers simultaneously ambushed the Decepticon forces on Cybertron and stole the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] from [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] when he arrived at Autobot City. They pursued the now reduced Hot Rod and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] while working to crush the Autobot reinforcements at the City. Hot Rod managed to turn the tide by releasing [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]'s [[Autobot Mini-Cassette|Mini-Cassette]]s and reactivating [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] from deep within Autobot City's core. Meanwhile, the Decepticons on Cybertron received a helping hand from [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and the Autobots. Magnus saved [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s life when an Allicon nearly shot him in the back, and the battle turned against the Quintesson forces on both planets. Metroplex swatted the Allicons like flies, and the united Cybertronians drove off the other Quintesson invaders from their homeworld. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
{{Unreleased WW comic}}

Following [[Flash (G1)|Flash]]'s teleportation to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] during the [[Age of Internment]], he encountered a mob of Sharkticons and Allicons, but managed to evade them by taking shelter in a Quintesson Citadel. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.4}}

Allicons and Sharkticons stood guard on Quintessa while the Quintessons detailed their plans for [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}}

Allicon troopers were involved in the invasion of Cybertron by the Quintessons set shortly after the techno-organic wave reformatted the planet's surface. It had all been part of a plot by the Quintessons through the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], their private interface to the supercomputer, [[Vector Sigma]]. Little did they know that [[Primus]] had manipulated their plans to his own ends, advancing the evolution of his people. The Allicon troopers got more than they bargained for as the mechanical, bio-mechanical, and techno-organic denizens of Cybertron devastated the Quintesson invaders and secured their homeland for future generations. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

[[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] considered [[Seaspray (Animated)|Seaspray]] on land to be clumsier than an one-legged Allicon.

==Notes==
* The script for the movie originally called for the Allicons' scene to feature Sharkticons, but we got these critters instead. They were indeed Sharkticons in the first comic adaptation. Neither in this scene, nor in any of their reappearances during the series were they referred to by name—the script for "[[The Killing Jar (episode)|The Killing Jar]]" identified them only as "Quintesson Guards". The creatures were given the name 'Allicon' years after the fact in [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]]'s 2004 ''[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' series.
* Thanks to "The Killing Jar", an Allicon's [[beast mode]] was the first official use of the term "[[alternate mode]]".

:''Skipjack is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:EZOrangeSkipjack.jpg|thumb|300px]]
'''Skipjack''' is a [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] who looks a lot like [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]]. Because of this, he can form the left leg of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] whenever Rampage is [[Bumblebee (Movie)|preoccupied]] in battle.

==Toys==
===''Transformers'' (2010)===
*'''Skipjack''' (EZ Collection, 2010)
:Skipjack is a Japanese exclusive yellow redeco of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#HFTD|''Hunt for the Decepticons'']] Legends Class [[Rampage (ROTF)#Transformers (2010)|Rampage]]. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well. Meanwhile, his [[instructions]] depict a more stable biped configuration, with his legs spread out and his cab-feet folded back in their vehicle mode position as his "heels".

:''[[Studio Series]]'' "Constructicon Skipjack" is a yellow redeco of [[Rampage_(ROTF)#Generations|Rampage]]. He comes with two blasters made from the pistons in vehicle mode that can be placed inside his hand, and a cardboard backdrop display depicting [[Operation: Firestorm]]. The figure also comes with a base to help him stand, which can be stored between both treads in vehicle mode.

:Skipjack can be combined with the other ''Studio Series'' [[Constructicon (ROTF)#Generations|Constructicons]] to form [[Devastator (ROTF)#Generations|Devastator]]. Due to the way Rampage had been colored, Skipjack can be used in place of him to give Devastator a screen-accurate color scheme.

:It is unknown if this release features a correctly-assembled waist.
{{comingsoontoy}}

==Notes==
*"Skipjack" was the preliminary name for Rampage during production of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and this name (along with [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]]'s "Wheelbot") was used in the credits for the voice actors. In Rampage's case, this can be considered ''definitely'' inaccurate, as the toys' name "Rampage" is used in a subtitle in the movie, thus making the name in the credits the odd one out.
* The stock photography (top of the article) for both EZ Collection Skipjack and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] depicts them in shades that hew closer to orange than the yellow they came out in. Whether this was an artifact of the photographic process or an intentional plastic color-change is uncertain. Additionally, [[TakaraTomy]]'s website calls the toy Rampage rather than Skipjack.

Quintesson

2020-02-27T23:15:09Z

MisterKenneth: /* Generations */

{{factions|quintesson}}
{{disambig2|the Generation 1 alien race|their home planet which is called "Quintesson" in the Marvel Comic UK continuity|Quintessa (planet)}}
[[File:Quint.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Hahahaha— —hahahahaha— —–hahahahaha— ——hahahahahaha— ——–hahahahahaha!"]]

The '''Quintessons''' are a bizarre and ancient race, whose dark history and shadowy machinations are bound up with the history of the [[Transformer]]s, with connections to both [[Primus]] and [[Unicron]]. They are known galaxy-wide as traders, entrepreneurs and businessmen, but their dealings are very rarely on the level, often laced with intrigue and betrayals. They prefer subtle manipulation, scheming, and advanced technology over brute force, but if those don't work, they can fall back on the legion of deadly [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] and [[Allicon]]s at their command and a fleet of battle-ready [[Quintesson spacecraft|spaceships]] as well. However, the Quintessons themselves have zero fighting abilities and are absolute cowards if they have nothing to hide behind. For example, they are seen to be powerless against a Sharkticon revolt.

Quintessons are also known by the ''adorable'' racial slur 'squids'.<ref>"[[Wreckers: Finale Part II]]"</ref>

{{quote|[We] are ''Quintessons''! ''Arrogance'' is our life’s blood, ''ambition'' is our food and drink, but most of all, ''hubris is the air we breathe!!''|[[Al-Badur]] dissin' his peeps|"[[Wreckers: Finale Part II]]"}}

{{quote|Deceivers! Betrayers! Five-faced slime of the nebula!|[[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] on the Quintessons|"[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5]]"}}

==Types of Quintessons==
[[File:QuintessonTFMMarvel.jpg|thumb|What? Death is for the guilty ones? You mean I've been doing this wrong the whole time?]]The Quintessons appear to be mostly (if not entirely) mechanical beings. They come in several distinct forms, some of which are identified by their place in the Quintessons' bizarre court system.

{{note|The names given are, when possible, taken directly from the character model sheets.}}

===Judges===
The most prominent and famous type of Quintesson, as well as the apparent "leaders" of the race, are the Judges, also referred to as the Imperial Magistrates. Judges have inverted egg-shaped bodies which float on a beam of energy and possess wiry tentacles for physical manipulation, but their most distinctive physical characteristics are their five rotating faces. Each face represents a different aspect of the Quintesson, though for four of the five faces, there are conflicting accounts as to what each represents.

<gallery perrow="5">
File:Quintessondeath.jpg|'''Death'''
File:Qhead1.gif|'''Rage'''/Wrath
File:Qhead2.gif|'''Laughter'''/War
File:Qhead3.gif|'''Bitterness'''/Wisdom
File:Qhead4.gif|'''Doubt'''/Judgment
</gallery>

{{note|The first names given above for the latter four faces come from Japanese ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' supplements. They are derived from the descriptions given of the faces in the original script for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|the movie]]''—an "angry face," a "smiling face," a "grimacing face" and a "suspicious face"—and the faces were [http://web.archive.org/web/20050206071549/http://hometown.aol.com/silverphoenix12/junkion.html specifically designed] by [[Floro Dery]] to represent these emotions. All the same, this information remained very little-known for a long time, leading to the second set of names being created for use in the 2004 publication, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]''. The original names were also used for ''[[Transformers: The Ark|The Ark]]'', published by [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] in 2007.}}

In the original animated series, the Judges were all of the same size and were rarely named. (Then again, it was rare for ''any'' Quintesson to get an individual name.) Conversely, in the Marvel Comics continuity, Judges vary in size, including the massive [[Kledji]] and the smaller [[Sevax]]. The order of the faces in the ring varies from Judge to Judge (if not [[Animation error|from shot to shot]], ahem).

Named Judges include:
*[[Brinn]]
*[[Deliberata]]
*[[Derodomontatus]]
*[[Heirodyus]]
*[[Kledji]]
*[[Klementia]]
*[[Pentius]]
*[[Sevax]]
*[[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]]
*An unnamed [[Judge (Cyberverse)|judge]]

===Bailiffs===
[[File:Quintbailiff anime.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|None Shall Pass!]]
These snout-nosed creatures were seen serving as guards in the Quintessons' court.
{{-}}

===Executioners===
[[File:TFU Quintesson Gatekeeper.jpg|thumb|Pokey, pokey!]]
Marvel's ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'' referred to this kind of Quintesson as a "Gatekeeper," suggesting the design was created specifically for a scene that wound up being deleted from the film, in which a Quintesson standing watch at the gate to their citadel sent the Dinobots (searching for Hot Rod and Kup) off in the wrong direction. With the deletion of this scene, the design was instead used for the Quintesson who throws the switch that sends [[Arblus]] plumetting into the Sharkticon pit, earning them the designation of "Executioner."

Named executioners include:
*[[Ghyrik]]
*[[In-Saba Nur]]
*[[Jolup]]
*[[Rexian]]
{{-}}

===Prosecutor===
[[File:Inquisitor fugly.jpg|right|thumb|Prosecutor and the seldom-seen "wizened" variant.]]
This variety of Quintesson is the second-most common type, often seen in positions of authority. They have also been called "Inquisitors". In court, they are the ones who ask for the Judges' verdicts and occasionally let the defendants say something in their defense, for all it matters.

Named prosecutors include:
*[[Krahulik]]
*[[Vashik]]
{{-}}

===Scientist===
[[File:Quint scientist.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|Yes, I have a question.]]
[[File:Quint dweller.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|I had to walk 15 miles in the snow to school! Uphill both ways!]]
Scientists are somewhat similar to the Prosecutors in construction, though they feature more bulbous heads and bearded, somewhat-more-human faces.

Named scientists include:
*[[Al-Badur]]
*[[Extempaxia]]
*[[Inquirata (G1)|Inquirata]]
*[[Mara-Al-Utha]]
*An unnamed [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|scientist]]
{{-}}

===Other types===
[[File:Quint two faced.jpg|125px|thumb|My tentacles are on fire!]]
The Judges are not the only Quintessons to have multiple faces, though the only known exception is the '''three-faced scientist''' who was the primary creator of the [[Trans-Organic]]s. One of his faces was grievously damaged, a scar left by the [[Dweller]], which he covered with a mask.

This scientist instigated a plan to get the [[Decepticon]]s to unwittingly release the trans-organics from their prisons deep within [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] so they would wipe out all Transformer life. The plan ultimately backfired; the Dweller killed the other trans-organics, and was launched into space by the [[Autobot]]s... where it smashed into the scientist's ship, which was en-route to Cybertron. Presumably, the scientist finally met his end as the Dweller drained the energy from the ship and everyone within it. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}

[[File:Quint rentacops.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|"Game over, man! Game over!"]]
'''Security officers''' appear to have been an ancient model of Quintesson, and possibly the only kind with built-in offensive capabilities, some having one set of arm-tentacles replaced with over-sized blasters. These blasters availed them naught, however, against the Trans-Organic beasts. It is unknown if any of this model of Quintesson exist in "modern" times. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}

[[File:Quint humanoid.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|No one remembers we exist.]]
Non-bailiff, non-executioner '''Humanoid''' Quintessons are exceedingly rare. One accompanied [[Inquirata (G1)|Inquirata]] on his mission to use a [[Time Window]] to change Cybertron's history, stopping the slave revolt that drove the Quintessons off-planet. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

And then there's [[Mirdane]]. A rarity among Quintessons, in that he has a name, and that's ''it''. He has only ever been mentioned by others, never seen, so what body type he has/had is unknown. {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}} {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

[[File:FFOD4 Early Quintessons.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The new Powerpuff Girls series never really got off the ground.]]
In ages long past, a race of aliens called the Quintessons existed on the planet-sized factory known as [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Some of their early experiments in creating artificial life resulted in the [[Trans-Organic]]s. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}} Some Quintessons turned to forbidden arts, and were banished to other dimensions. {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}} The Quintessons eventually created two lines of sentient robots: one was a line of robots designed for domestic duties and labor (known as [[Autobot]]s), and the other was a line designed for military use (known as [[Decepticon]]s). {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} The Quintessons were exceptionally cruel to their creations, eventually leading to wide-spread rebellion, a rebellion started by the Autobot [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]]. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}} Forced to flee the planet, the Quintessons eventually settled on the small, twisted planet of [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], but fostered an undying hatred of all Transformers for the next eleven million years. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

They also spent this time productively, selling technology to other races, and often manipulating the political and military climate of regions of space to increase their sales, all the while diligently keeping track of their work by recording it in [[Quintesson Journal|journals]]. {{Storylink|The Quintesson Journal}} Occasionally a race as the [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]] would arise that could potentially threaten the Quintessons, and they would deal with it by sealing off whole sections of space with [[quadrant lock]]s. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}}

[[File:FFOD2 Quintesson court.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Believe it or not, you really do have better chances in Texas.]]
In 2005, they were shown to capture prisoners for trial and feeding to their army of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]]. The mock trials held by the Quintesson Court seemed to have no purpose at all, except maybe for the Quintessons' amusement, as defendants were still immediately fed to the ravenous Sharkticons even when the Judge determined them to be innocent. However, the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] managed to rescue the pair of Autobots the Quintessons had captured. Worse, [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] inspired the Sharkticons to rebel... by stomping his foot on the ground and telling them to do so. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|The Quintessons' involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]" and the storybook "[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie]]."}}

One year (or possibly five years, [[Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)|depending on whom you ask]]) after the defeat of [[Unicron]], the Quintessons reappeared. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} They first sent a commando team of Sharkticons to abduct various Autobots (as well as [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], though that may have been unintentional). Upon capturing the 'bots, the Quintessons seemed more interested in interrogating their prisoners than feeding them to the Sharkticons. However, they eventually did find the captured Transformers to be guilty of the crime of... being Transformers (Spike was guilty by association). {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}}

[[File:FFOD4 Quintessons raised tentacles and Galvatron.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"Look out, it's Galvatron! Quick, make yourselves look big and maybe he'll leave us alone!"]]
After [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus]] and the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] mounted a rescue for their captive friends, the Quintessons attempted to kill the would-be rescuers by destroying the entire planet of Quintessa. After this plan failed, the surviving Quintessons approached the currently leaderless Decepticons, offering them [[energon]] in exchange for attacking the Autobots who had fled to the planet [[Goo 8739B|Goo]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} When the newly revived [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] arrived intending to reclaim his army, the Quintessons made an alliance with him to attack Cybertron in return for the [[Decepticon Matrix|Decepticon Matrix of Leadership]], an object which didn't actually exist outside the Quintessons' fertile imaginations. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

The Quintessons betrayed Galvatron almost immediately after the battle had been won, sending the Sharkticons to pull a [[Large switch|switch]] which would cause all Transformers the galaxy over literally to freeze where they stood. Though the Sharkticons were fought off, Galvatron pulled the lever anyway. The Quintessons landed on Cybertron, intending to reclaim the planet, however Spike destroyed the switch and the Quintessons were forced to abandon the planet in an escape pod. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Later plots by the Quintessons were no less nefarious. A rogue Quintesson scientist abducted three Transformers and a [[Marissa Faireborn|human]] for behavioral study, a scheme that nearly killed the entire group after they drifted into a black hole. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (episode)|The Killing Jar}} Later, the Quintessons revived the deceased [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] in an attempt to lure all the Autobots into a trap and destroy them with a supernova. However, the Quintessons did not count upon Hot Rod forcing Optimus Prime to overcome his programming, nor Optimus Prime's ability to sacrifice himself to save the Autobots. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening}}

[[File:ForeverLongTimeComing various Quintessons.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|"Damn it! Who ate my yogurt?!"]]
Later still, the Quintessons attempted to rewrite history by preventing their loss of Cybertron, creating a [[Time Window]] on an asteroid, directed at Cybertron eleven million years in the past. The Autobots attacked the asteroid, occupying it as several of their number passed through the Time Window and resulting in the very fabric of reality starting to unravel the longer the window remained open. The Quintessons made several desperate attempts to retake the asteroid before convincing Rodimus Prime to shut the Time Window down, though their plans were still ruined as the time-displaced A-3 returned to the past to take his part in the rebellion. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

After a Quintesson journal was lost on [[Junkion (planet)|Junk]], the Quintessons began inserting subliminal messages into the Junkions' [[television]] in an attempt to make them tidy and instill a distrust of other life forms. Unfortunately the equipment sending the subliminal signal was damaged during an attempt to retrieve the journal, resulting in the Junkions transmitting subliminal messages to the rest of the galaxy. In the ensuing battle, the Quintessons again tried to retrieve the journal, only to lose it when a stray shot knocked it loose from their tractor beam. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (episode)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}} The journal resurfaced again in the [[Angarrix sector]] at the same time that the Autobots were conducting peace talks with [[Xetaxxis]] and [[Lanarq]], two planets whom the Quintessons had manipulated into war so that they could sell weapons. Despite the Quintessons' best attempts the journal reached the conference where their interference was exposed, and the Autobots destroyed the Quintesson ship as it tried to deliver two [[omega bomb]]s intended to destroy the planets. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}}

The Quintessons would try other schemes to destroy the Autobots. One involved kidnapping [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and hooking him to a device which manifested his dreams in real life. Unfortunately the dream constructs turned on them when Rodimus was able to reach Daniel's sleeping mind. {{storylink|Nightmare Planet}} Another was to manipulate Galvatron into releasing the Trans-Organics. Though Galvatron succeeded, releasing the [[Dweller]], the Autobots managed to expel the creature into space, where it attacked the Quintesson ship. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}}

[[File:MadmansParadise Mara-Al-Utha.jpg|thumb|left|240px|''"Why not Zoidberg?!'']]
Finding Galvatron interfering with the quadrant lock sealing [[Quadrant X]], the Quintessons entered the lock, taking a number of Transformers through with them. Unfortunately their [[isolator key]], needed to reopen the lock, was damaged, forcing them to obtain [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s [[universal emulator]]. Perceptor was able to program the emulator so that when the Quintessons used it, it disabled the quadrant lock for good. {{storylink|The Face of the Nijika}} In another dimension on [[Menonia]], the Autobots found the rogue Quintesson scientist [[Mara-Al-Utha]], and defeated him with the help of local wizard named the [[Golden One]]. {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}}

[[File:ReturnOptimusPrime Quintesson holding tool.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.45|"Right, where am I sticking this?"]]
The Quintessons suggested to Cyclonus that he take Galvatron to [[Torkulon]], believing the experience would prove fatal for the Decepticons. It didn't. {{storylink|Webworld}} A group of Quintessons based on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] made a deal with [[Dirk Manus]] to deliver them the [[Recreator]], while also sending the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] to attack him. Multiple double-crosses ensued until in one final double-cross, Manus set [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] on the Quintessons and they retreated without the Recreator. {{storylink|Money Is Everything (episode)|Money Is Everything}}

When Rodimus asked [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] to find him a Quintesson, Sky Lynx complained that the Quintessons had gone into hiding in the farthest reaches of the galaxy and would be difficult to find. Nonetheless Sky Lynx managed to find [[Klementia|one being chased]] by [[Hate Plague]] infected Sharkticons, and took him to Earth to restore life to the body of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}} The lone Quintesson also restored a number of other Autobots to help Optimus retrieve the Matrix from Rodimus. He did his best to hold off the infected Transformers while Optimus journeyed into the Matrix and found a way to cure the Hate Plague. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2}}

=====Japanese cartoon continuity=====
======''Legends'' comic======
Millions of years ago, the Quintessons arrived on the planet that would become Cybertron and discovered the essence of the [[Oracle (G1)|Oracle]] as well as the [[Matrix of Leadership|vessel]] that had once kept it. They subjugated the Oracle by encasing him within [[Vector Sigma]] and creating the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] to control his powers, which they used to transform the planet into a metallic world. They went on to use Cybertron as a factory for [[Transformer|robotic slaves]] until their creations rebelled and drove them off the planet, claiming the Oracle's vessel and finding it full of malicious energy after years of accumulating the wisdom of its Quintesson owners. They promptly dumped out the Quintesson wisdom, which would one day go on to become [[Devil Z]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

In need of new territory after being driven off Cybertron, the Quintessons opened a portal to another dimension, the [[Legends World]], and invaded it with an army of [[Overcharge (G1)|Overcharges]] led by a lone Quintesson. They were beaten back by [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], leading to the Quintessons labeling the Legends World dangerous and sealing away its creators, the [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]], with a [[quadrant lock]]. However, the Quintessons were unaware that their portal had in fact spanned time as well as space and led to the far future, and the Legends World would only be created ''after'' the Zamojin were released from the lock. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 59|Bonus Edition Vol. 59}}

======''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010'' story pages======
Teaming up with the Decepticons, the Quintessons began developing new warriors for their "allies". {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)|2010 Part 2}} The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s were constructed by the Quintessons during this alliance. The Sharkticons, also considered to be part of the Predacon faction, were leased to the Decepticons to bolster their ranks. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)|2010 Part 3}} The Quintessons evidently consider the Sharkticons to be "the Pride of the Quintessons" and developed [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] specifically to outdo all previous Decepticon [[combiner]]s. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)|2010 Part 4}}

During [[Dark Awakening (episode)|the time they had Optimus Prime's corpse in their clutches]], the Quintessons copied his schematics. They also received schematics of Megatron from their alliance with the Decepticons and developed the Colossal Cannon Soldier [[Gilthor]]. {{storylink|Fight!

The Quintessons feigned to have created Gilthor as a subordinate for Galvatron, but in reality they had allied themselves with the ghost of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], who gave the robot life. Gilthor quickly turned on Galvatron during an ambush on Rodimus Prime. He would have won, had Rodimus and Galvatron not worked together to defeat him, foiling the plans of the Quintessons. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 4|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #4}}

======Controverse======
When [[Primacron]] was taken into custody for unleashing [[Tornedron]] into the cosmos, the galactic council appointed the Quintesson judge [[Adveraros]] to preside over the scientist's trial. To guard the prisoner, the Quintessons brought along several Bailiffs and Sharkticons. Though Adveraros at first seemed to give a sensible ruling (acquittal by reason of insanity) in truth the Quintessons were planning to harvest Primacron's brain once he had been sent to [[Doruka III]], an asylum planet. The plot was foiled by Primacron himself, who fashioned a high-tech whistle out of his mechanical manacles, and took control of all nearby "[[Primitive]]" Transformers. Having restrained Adveraros with his own Sharkticon guards, Primacron revealed that he had once created bacterial machines, which he proposed was the Quintessons' distant ancestors. Adveraros loudly denounced this claim as the Autobots came in to take protective custody of Primacron. {{storylink|Controverse}}

======''Kiss Players''======
[[File:KPMaximus2.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Do cameos count as canon?]]
[[File:KPQuints.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|This is all kinds of crazy.]]
The [[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]] [[Marissa Faireborn]], [[Atari Hitotonari]], and [[Shaoshao Li]], together with the [[Sparkbot]]s [[Angela]], [[Star Dust]], and [[Zangetsu]], were traveling through time aboard [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]] when the space fortress suddenly went out of control.

The six found themselves on a strange, alien world in the year 2011. With their ship ensnared, they were herded by [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] to the Space Tribunal, where the Quintessons put them on trial for time-traveling without their permission.

When Shaoshao asked if being cute was a crime, the Quintessons threatened to charge her with contempt of court. Atari suggested using their Kiss Play abilities to transform into cute costumes and ask the "octopusses" nicely to let them go. But turning into a swimsuit-clad elementary school girl and asking the judge's permission to go to the potty only resulted in Atari and her friends being found "not guilty" and dropped into the Sharkticon pit below.

Rescued by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Goldbug]], they fled back to Brave Maximus and re-entered the time portal. Sucked into the maelstrom along with them, the Quintessons demanded that the process stop, saying that they were the last of their kind. But it was too late, and the aliens were trapped inside the hole in space-time. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players Position}}

As a result of a [[quadrant lock]] the Quintessons placed upon the [[BT World]] to trap the [[Binaltech]] Autobots, the planet was frozen in time until the [[Alternity]] were born and broke through it 900,000 years later. During the intervening time, however, a tragic fate befell the Quintessons. {{storylink|Alternation}}

=====''Wings Universe''=====
{{wingsnote}}
Very early in the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], the Autobot ship ''[[Van De Graaff]]'' was shot down over [[Beta-Nine]] while transporting a [[Matrix of Leadership|vital cargo]]. The Autobots initially believed that the crash was the result of a Decepticon attack, but [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], a crewmember of the rescue ship ''[[Eight Track (G1)|Eight Track]]'', discovered the truth when he found green tentacled remains alongside the corpses of the murdered ''Van De Graaff'' crew. {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}

The Quintessons created [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] to lead a new generation of Sharkticons. In [[2010]], they sent Sky-Byte and several Sharkticons to Earth in an alliance with the [[Decepticon Syndicate]]. {{storylink|Generation 2: Redux}}

By [[2984]], Quintesson space had come under the control of the [[Mutant (BW)|Mutant]]s. In that year, the temporally-displaced pirates known as the [[Star Seeker]]s traveled near former Quintesson space on their way to find the immortal spark of the infamous Decepticon [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. The Star Seekers eventually gained access to a [[Shut-Up-Tornado-I'm-Trying-To-Think|planetoid]] existing in a pocket of space surrounded by black holes. In a chamber on the planetoid, they encountered a lone Quintesson who claimed to have been betrayed and marooned by Starscream on the planetoid some time earlier. The Star Seekers gave the Quintesson passage off of the planetoid in exchange for telling all that he knew of Starscream's last known destination. However as it turned out, the Quintesson was long dead, and Starscream's immortal spark had been using the Quintesson's body as a puppet. Forming an alliance with the Decepticon Star Seeker [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], Starscream discarded the Quintesson's body and hijacked Captain [[Cannonball (G1)|Cannonball]]'s body for himself, simultaneously allowing Flamewar to take control of the Star Seekers for herself. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur}}

They intended to execute him, taking him to a Sharkticon pit, however he managed to evade them and escaped into the jungles of Quintesson. When Hot Rod's ship also crashed on the planet, the Quintessons tried to mount a sneak attack, only for Wheelie to appear and fight them off single-handed. The Quintessons returned with Sharkticon backup, stalking the Autobots as Wheelie tried to lead them away from the crash site, however as it turned out even with their Sharkticons, the Quintesson were no match for the Autobots and most of them were killed in the battle that ensued. {{storylink|The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson}}

Millennia ago, the Quintessons were the minions of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], send out to locate [[Primus]]. The Quintessons succeeded, but rather than turn Primus over to Unicron, they instead constructed barriers around him, intending to make use of him to create consumer product lines. They eventually succeeded in doing so through [[Vector Sigma]], though some of their number such as [[Al-Badur]] warned of the danger of trying to control Primus's creations. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

Out on the arm of the Orion Cluster, [[New Quintessa]] sat awaiting the [[Mutant (BW)|Mutant Beast]]s, Cybertronians without [[robot mode]]s who had been dispatched by the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] of [[Vector Sigma]] to regain what they had lost. [[Icebird]] believed they were on a sacred mission; in truth, it was a fool's errand. The Quintesson Supreme Imperial Magistrate [[Derodomontatus]] fed the Mutants to the Sharkticons before continuing his discussions with the free trader, [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]]. Plans proceeded apace, as both the Mutants and the [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]]s were dealt with by this deadly alliance, and Cryotek assured Derodomontatus that the last Cybertronian team, the [[Wrecker]]s, would soon be extinguished as well. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

Meanwhile the Wreckers encountered Al-Badur on an icy world, and he filled them in on the origin of Cybertron and bargained for his departure from the planet in exchange for information about the [[Divine Light]]. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

The invasion of Cybertron soon began, and [[Snarl (BM)|Snarl]], [[Longhorn]], and [[Skydive (BM)|Skydive]] spotted Quintessons herding mass hordes of Sharkticons towards the Cybertronian settlements.

{{Note|The following is unofficial material for the intended script to the Wreckers #4, never published.}}

Derodomontatus cheered on the advancing troops with his fellow Quintessons, before proceeding with Cryotek and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] to complete his part of their bargain. The fighting intensified on the surface as [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] and the Dinobots arrived, shortly before the Wreckers returned to Cybertron as well. [[Primal Prime]] and [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] led a contingent after Cryotek and the Quintessons deeper into Cybertron's core. They arrived in time to see Cryotek had successfully mutated himself into a god-like being with the power of the [[Divine Light]]. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}}

{{note|And now, back to the official material.}}
Derodomontatus, realizing the extent to which Cryotek had now surpassed the Quintessons, begged the free trader to remember their contract and honor it. In response, Cryotek sent his pet [[Chro]] to rip the Quintesson's faces off.

As their Imperial Magistrate faced a hostile takeover beneath the planet's surface, the Quintesson troops on open ground found their advancement equally stymied. Expecting the newly reformatted Cybertron to be filled with docile and disoriented cattle, the Quintessons were ill-prepared for the resistance they faced from all corners of the globe and all sectors of the populace. In [[Ankmor Park|Ankmor]], Judge [[Brinn]]'s patrol were stalked by the Maximal techno-organic, [[Night Viper]]. In a deserted city, a contingent led by Overseer [[Rexian]] were overcome by Decepticons criminals recently restored to their bodies. Overseer [[Vashik]] and [[In-Saba Nur]] assaulted the new Predacon capital of [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] with predictable results, as Lord [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] squashed them beneath his heel ([[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] helped). Oh yes, and then there were ''Dinobots''. Admiral [[Krahulik]] was prepared to initiate orbital bombardment from the ''Paradigm'' hovering over [[Polyhex]] before [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] brought down the Quintesson warships as well. The Quintessons began to retreat in hordes, returning to their landing ships and launching out into space...right into the path of the planetary defense systems, recently brought back on-line.

All in all, the invasion of Cybertron was an unmitigated disaster. Judge [[Heirodyus]] watched the annihilation from New Quintessa with a mixture of horror and smugness, silently congratulating himself for escaping the fate of his brothers. He hadn't. The Mutant Beasts Icebird and [[Poison Bite]] had survived their dip in the Sharkticon pools, and returned imbued with the light of Primus himself. Heirodyus and the Quintessons were soon wiped from the surface of New Quintessa. Icebird and Poison Bite assumed control of the planet, spreading the techno-organic plant life made from Cybertron's reformatting, and teaching the Sharkticons the ways of peace. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

Like those creepy little pilotfish that swarm behind sharks, snapping at stray scraps, the Quintessons were vile enforcers for [[Unicron]], savagely hunting down and picking off those who attempted to escape his maw. {{storylink|The Transformers Universe#Issue .234|Transformers Universe}}

In an alternate future of 2005, the Quintessons took Hot Rod, Kup and several other Autobots hostage on their homeworld and chucked them into the Sharkticon pits for punishment. The Autobots were able to escape, however, and the Sharkticons quickly turned on their cruel masters. {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

''In 2008, Quintesson scientists realized that their planet, Quintesson, was threatened with destruction by a time rift that was caused by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s time-traveling. Though they scoped out several other worlds to move their civilization to, the [[Quintesson Journal|journal]] containing the records on these planets was lost on the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]].'' {{storylink|Space Pirates!}} ''In an attempt to retrieve it, they captured [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and had him interrogated by the [[Mister Regan|Galaxy's greatest torturer]].

The Quintessons quickly deduced that whole tale had been nothing but [[Quintesson#The Big Broadcast of 2006|a fabrication]], and executed the torturer for failing to deliver the journal's true location.'' {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

''Desperate for their race to survive, they launched a surprise attack on Autobot City, capturing it for themselves.

''The Quintessons fled, but were ordered by Lord Kledji ''not'' to return to Quintesson, but to roam the stars instead to rebuild their forces and seek revenge on the Transformers, since their home planet was doomed beyond hope.

After a [[Quintesson Journal|journal]] of great importance to the Quintessons was lost on the planet Junkion, the Quintessons sent down a school of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] planet-side to retrieve it. Though the Sharkticons came close to completing their mission, they were chased off at the last moment by the planet's natives, much to the Quintessons' frustration. Deciding to make another attempt at its retrieval through more surreptitious means, the Quintessons sent down a television set the next day, knowing of the Junkions' fondness for Earth broadcasts. Their television set, however, also broadcasted a subliminal message, which caused the Junkions to act aggressively towards all outsiders, and made compelled them to clean up their planet. The Quintessons hoped this would allow them to more easily find their journal amidst Junkion's heaps of garbage, while keeping any other parties who might interfere at bay.

As soon as the Junkions found the Quintessons' journal, the latter moved in. But the Autobots and Decepticons had caught wind that something was amiss on Junkion by this time, and both factions also became involved, forcing the Quintessons to attack them. The Autobot [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] proved too mighty for them however, and the Quintesson were forced to retreat without their prize in hand. Worse yet, during the Autobots' and the Decepticons' scuffle in Junkion's orbit, the Quintessons' transmitter was damaged, ultimately resulting in its broadcast being sent all around the galaxy. Various species gathered around the planet to duke it out between themselves as a result. Seeing another opportunity to seize their lost journal, the Quintessons sent down a shuttle-craft to retrieve it while everyone else was distracted in the melee. But as the journal was captured in the shuttle-craft's tractor beam, a wild shot hit it, sending the journal off into the void of space, and out of the Quintessons' reach. The Quintesson tasked with retrieving the journal was sentenced to death for failing to fulfill his mission. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

Megatron had promised to deliver Cybertron's core to the Quintessons in exchange for the army they had provided him, but Megatron forestalled on completing the deal once he had conquered Cybertron. The Quintessons grew annoyed, and began to rightly suspect that Megatron planned to renege on their transaction. Little did they know that [[Flash (G1)|Flash]], having been accidently been transported to Quintessa, was eavesdropping on their conversation, learning the true nature of Cybertron's conquest. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.4}} The Quintessons discovered Flash spying on them, but he escaped thanks to his superior speed. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.5}} The Quintessons then attempted to remotely extract Cybertron's core, only for their efforts to be thwarted by Starscream.

{{quote|We are all one or we are all gone.|[[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]]|[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]}}

This universe's Quintessons are an enigmatic and benevolent species holding sway over a large section of space known as the '''Quintesson Collective'''. They share technology and cooperate with many other species, whether organic, [[technorganic]], or mechanical, using culture as a unifying notion instead of evolutionary origins. They long ago perfected zero-point energy engines, food and parts replication technologies, and advanced biomedics, allowing any individual to change features, organs, and overall designs, eliminating such things as [[Exclusive|scarcity]], and thus material value, "mortality", and even the concept of "species". These technological advances are shared and freely available to all those who join their "ultra-species".

The Quintessons usually rely on [[Federation|cautious observation before making first contact]] with other unenlightened peoples, demanding years of study and careful cultural guidance before even considering allowing membership into the Collective. They rarely use direct means to steer a culture onto the enlightened path, but have been known to occasionally take [[Fortress Maximus (SG)|more direct action]] to protect their interests, doing the "dirty work" themselves. {{storylink|Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass}}

When [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] and [[Razorclaw (SG)|Razorclaw]] confronted the evil Autobots [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]], [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]], and [[Grimlock (SG)|Grimlock]], Starscream ordered the Autobots to surrender in the name of the '''[[Quintesson Federation]]'''. {{storylink|Shattered Expectations (SG)|Shattered Expectations}}

===Aligned continuity family===
The Quintessons were small, organic, squid-like creatures. Physically frail, easily injured, and extremely cowardly, the Quintessons themselves were rarely seen, and did most of their dirty work through various proxies, willing or unwilling. When the Quintessons did need to expose themselves to further their own ends, they frequently encased themselves in mechanical suits styled after their various slave races, often claiming to be representatives of other races.

At some point after the creation of the first Transformers, [[Quintus Prime]] left Cybertron to seed other worlds in the universe with life with the [[Emberstone]], in the hopes that other peaceful, space-faring civilizations would one day contact Cybertron to form friendly alliances. Among his earliest creations were the Quintessons. So that didn't work out too well.

After creating the Quintessons, Quintus Prime was never heard from again; [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]] idly speculated that the Quintessons may have killed their creator. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

The Quintessons developed interstellar travel before the Transformers. At some point in the past, the Quintessons stole and reverse-engineered [[space bridge]] technology from an unknown source. They eventually discovered Cybertron toward the end of that planet's Age of Origins. As the first alien beings ever to make contact with the planet, the arrival of their ships awed the young Cybertronian race. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}} The Quintessons claimed to be benevolent entities sent to "uplift" the Cybertronians from their primitive existence, so that they could join the galactic community. By giving Cybertronians the "gift" of transformation and the power to assume [[alternate mode]]s, the Quintessons won Cybertron's public support. In reality, though, the Quintessons had simply learned to manipulate the dormant [[transformation cog]]s present in every Transformer. The dispersal of Quintesson technology and tutelage turned the feudal, tribe-based planet into a sophisticated spacefaring civilization almost overnight. The Quintessons established rule of law and eventually a global order overseen by the [[Elite Guard]] member [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]] and the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]].

Secretly, the Quintessons aimed to slowly rob the Cybertronians of their individuality, then sell them into slavery as mindless drones. To further this goal, they began implanting various Cybertronians, such as the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]], with cockpits intended to house Quintesson pilots. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}} {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} The Quintessons organized other Cybertronians into working collectives and attempted to tamper with the Well of All Sparks itself; newborn Transformers began emerging without names or identities, and instead received alphanumeric designations. The Quintesson's twisted, bizarre sense of justice led to the construction of the [[Supreme Court]] on Cybertron, a kangaroo court where innocents could be sentenced to life imprisonment or death. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

Eventually, a resistance movement formed, and the Quintessons were defeated in a rebellion led by Sentinel Prime, who led Cybertron into a subsequent [[Golden Age]]. Traces of their rule, such as the cockpits implanted in many Cybertronians, would remain even as Cybertron slowly rid itself of their influence. Some of the Cybertronians who had lived through this disturbing period- including a young librarian named [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]]- suppressed their traumatic memories of Cybertron's occupation, and eventually forgot about the Quintessons almost entirely. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}} Generations later, Orion Pax claimed Sentinel and the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] had enslaved Cybertron with the [[caste system]] instead of having it forced on them by the Quintessons. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

The Quintessons never forgot about their humiliating rout at the hands of their former servants, and for many centuries the embittered race enviously regarded the planet and its inhabitants as rightfully theirs. At some point after Cybertron's [[Golden Age]], the Quintessons discovered and colonized the Transformers's ex-colony world of [[Aquatron]], modifying the bodies of its inhabitants to produce techno-organic monstrosities such as the [[Gamekeeper]] and the [[Hydratron]]. Aquatron was eventually subsumed into the Quintesson Imperium, and the Quintessons used their new [[Sharkticon (COP)|Sharkticon]] slaves as aquatic shock troopers.

When the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' entered the Aquatron system during Optimus Prime's search for the [[AllSpark]], the Quintessons awakened [[Inquirata (Prime)|Inquirata]] and his associate [[Xeros]] to carry out their deception that would eventually lead to the second invasion of Cybertron. Manipulating both Optimus and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] to the planet's surface under the guise of a peace treaty, the Quintessons were eventually able to place both Autobots and Decepticons under arrest and take them to court. During the trial, the Quintessons claimed that they had colonized Cybertron and literally built the first Transformers; Optimus quickly saw through their deception and maintained that all Cybertronians were creations of [[Primus]] alone. The Quintesson judges found Optimus innocent, and forced him to duel to the death with Megatron; siphoning energy from the two leaders, they powered a Space Bridge to Cybertron and launched a second invasion force to re-colonize and enslave Cybertron. Their genetically engineered leader [[Tyrannicon]] spearheaded the Sharkticon invasion and was able to swiftly overwhelm the weakened planet. The invasion was only defeated after Megatron, forced into a temporary truce with his archenemy, discovered the [[Sharkticon Matrix of Leadership]] and used it to override Tyrannicon's hold on his troops. In the ensuing fight, Xeros, Tyrannicon, and Inquirata were all killed, and Aquatron itself was freed of Quintesson control. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

The [[Mutacon]]s knew of the Quintessons but considered the law-bound Quintesson way of life to be boring and a worse fate than death. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
The Quintessons were a strange race of aliens, interdimensional beings who travelled the [[multiverse]] using their [[multiverse drive]] and passed judgement on which universes deserved to live or be destroyed. {{storylink|The Trial}} To do so, the Quintessons would create "[[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judges]]", hybrid beings based on the native lifeforms of that universe; if the universe was found guilty, then the Judge would oversee the destruction of the universe by using [[unspace]] to obliterate all matter. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] traditionally oversaw the process, and in his travels developed a fondness for collecting various iterations of [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] he plucked from the various doomed universes his kind had passed judgement upon. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

When exactly it is that the Quintessons found this particular universe is not clear; hieroglyphs inside the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Croaton]] suggest that the aliens invaded his colony and abducted his inhabitants long before the present day. {{storylink|Ghost Town}} [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] was aware of the Quintessons, and once remarked on their talent for building [[space bridge]]s. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

Either way, the Quintessons had established an outpost in a distant region of the galaxy at some point before [[2007]]. Having previously encountered two aliens from other civilizations, the Quintessons discovered that Cybertronians existed in this universe after Croaton, in search of his missing citizens, flew past the outpost, taking the hapless [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] with him. Although the current Judge planned to simply judge and dispose of their new prisoner, the ambitious Seeker tried to win over his captors by revealing the existence of the [[AllSpark]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Seeing this as a power source to fuel the creation of the new Judge, the Quintessons made for Cybertron and "rewarded" Starscream with their highest honor: assimilation into the next Judge. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}}

Arriving shortly after [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s defeat, the Quintessons quickly conquered the planet and ensnared the city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] in the tendrils of their command tower. The Cybertronians were rounded up and placed in a virtual reality simulation designed to keep them happy and docile while the Scientist both drained their [[spark]]s and tapped into the AllSpark's energy itself to fuel the creation of this new Judge. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Scientist}} Unfortunately, their machinations were upset by [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], who the Quintessons had overlooked during their conquest of the planet, and the ad hoc Cybertronian resistance he assembled, operating out of [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam]]'s, invisible to Quintesson sensors. Although the Quintesson forces eventually captured Hot Rod, the Autobot leader proved uncooperative and was found guilty. {{storylink|The Trial}}

Soon, the resistance infiltrated the command tower and clashed with the Scientist himself, their battle putting the unborn Judge at risk and severing their hostages' connection to the virtual reality loop. {{storylink|The Scientist}} Freed of their prison, [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]], and their respective forces rebelled against the Quintessons, with the conflict escalating into open war between the two forces. Despite their best efforts, the Cybertronians proved unable to breach the force field that protected the Quintesson headquarters, but the partial activation of [[Iaconus]] pushed their [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] warriors into a retreat. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

The Quintessons eventually gained the advantage, primarily by the Judge's rage at Megatron's theft of their multiverse escape pod, disabling nearly all enemy combatants. However, the Judge was attacked and overwhelmed by the resistance leaders and, in their damage and frenzy, they crashed into the command tower, seemingly perishing as it exploded and collapsed. Although the prior Judge was killed, it had survived long enough for the gestation of the next Judge to finish... a Judge dominated by Starscream's egotistical personality. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

The new Judge Starscream rounded up nearly all his enemies, only to monologue over them while Optimus Prime and Megatron were being located. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} Iaconus was soon awakened and battled the enslaved Croaton under Judge Starscream's command. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} Eventually, Judge Starscream ended the battle, using unspace to slay Iaconus, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} but soon also lost control of Croaton. As his enemies broke free and rallied, he was soon overwhelmed and seemingly destroyed by the dual [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrices]] of Optimus Prime and a returned Megatron. With the simultaneous death of the Scientist by Wheeljack, the Quintesson invasion was effectively overthrown. The remainder of their forces would subsequently be destroyed by the Autobots and Deceptions as no trace of their occupation remained by the time of the factions' split control of the planet. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

The Quintessons had in truth led Galvatron to the location of their old creations, the Dweller and the Trans-Organics.

*'''[[Alpha Quintesson]]''' (Mega, [[2005]])
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, base, three tentacles
[[File:Alpha Quintesson toy.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I do hope you'll bring these gadgets back in one piece, 007.]]

:One of the last toys in the [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' line]], Alpha Quintesson is fairly unique in that he is one of the only toys in the history of the main ''Transformers'' line that does not transform in any manner or even come with any kind of transforming accessory (like the [[Action Master]]s).

:Alpha Quintesson requires quite a bit of assembly out of the box, coming in six separate pieces: his main body, a solid "bed of tentacles" that serves as a wheeled base that the body plugs into, a firing missile launcher which plugs into his back (via a standard 5mm peg that also allows other characters to wield it) and points up over his head, and three rubber, wire-poseable tentacles which attach to the base. The tentacles end in a large yellow clamp, a red chainsaw, and a purple energy arc, and spin around via a gear-wheel system when the base is rolled back and forth. The figure features nine circular ports (three on each arm and three on the base), to which either [[Energon star|energon chip]]s or any weapons featuring 5mm pegs can be attached.

:The main body is notably very [[Show-accuracy|accurate]] to the CGI model from the animated series, save for its coloration and the addition of the missile launcher. As a toy that was entirely dull green from top to bottom would not have been a very interesting sight, the figure features several shades of green with yellow highlights, plus a red paint wash on its "underbelly" and arms. The main body contains its own gimmick, involving Alpha Q's spinning faces as seen in the cartoon. Opening the armor's jaws reveals Alpha Q's head, recessed within the body (though unable to move forward into a more prominent position as seen in the show), and pressing the trigger on the back of the body, disguised as one of the spinal fins, causes the head to spin from face to face. The toy only features the character's first three faces (Angry, Whiny and Crazy); the purple, calm face is not featured.

:As an allegiance was needed to brand the figure with for marketing purposes, Alpha Quintesson's toy is sold as a Decepticon, despite that faction not really being where his loyalties lie. There were also many reports of the toy coming misassembled, missing the hard point where the figure connected to the base, making it nigh impossible for the toy to stand up on its own.

==Notes==
[[File:FloroDery originalquintesson.jpg|thumb|Touch the Rainbow, Taste the Rainbow!]]
*The Quintessons were named after a local restaurant.<ref>Flint Dille interview at TFcon 2016</ref>
*An early design for the Quintessons, described in an April 1985 draft of ''The Transformers: The Movie'', gave them spindly bipedal bodies with large heads. Per this draft, the Autobots would have been shocked to discover that, in reality, they were ''all head''; when Hot Rod grabbed one, its head would disconnect from its body, fly off, and link up to another body in waiting. Somewhere along the way, the body idea got dropped, but not before designer [[Floro Dery]] produced a design seemingly based on this early idea, seen at right, revealed through his [https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/FDartstudio?ref=l2-shopheader-name Etsy store] in October 2014. The idea did not disappear completely, however; the mini-series "[[Five Faces of Darkness]]" was produced before the movie's script was finalized, and contains a few references to ideas from this early draft, including a scene in which one of [[Deliberata]]'s faces detaches—seemingly derived from the idea of a removable head.
*When asked about the finalized Quintesson design in an interview, Dery stated they were based on a cylindrical toy he designed at some point.<ref>[http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-with-floro-dery.html TransFormers Philippines: Interview With Floro Dery]</ref>
*In their first appearance in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', the two speaking Quintessons are voiced by [[Regis Cordic]] (who plays the judge) and [[Roger C. Carmel]] (the prosecutor). These two actors then became the primary recurring voices of the Quintessons in the third season of the cartoon, usually playing judges, with [[Jack Angel]] normally serving as a third in episodes where more than two speaking roles were required. In [[AKOM]]-animated episodes, Cordic's Quintesson (usually designated "Quintesson #1" in scripts) would commonly speak from the Face of Doubt, while Carmel's ("Quintesson #2") used the Face of Laughter; Angel's intermittently-appearing third Quintesson would most often use the Face of Death, but animation errors, and Quintesson face-rotating meant that these were not ''absolute'' rules. In [[Toei Animation|Toei]] episodes, judges usually spoke from the Face of Death regardless of actor, and prosecutors got more screen time, with Cordic, as the "lead" Quintesson actor, voicing most of them. Numerous guest actors also played assorted "guest" Quintesson roles in various episodes.
*Since [[The Transformers: The Movie|the movie]] never explains what the characters are being charged with, and offers no logical progression to a verdict, it's usually interpreted that Quintesson justice simply operates on reverse terminology for the sake of humor—that the Quintessons ''say'' "innocent", but dohohoho, they're aliens, and to them, that ''means'' "guilty", so the accused is sentenced to death. This was certainly the assumption [[Simon Furman]] was working off of when he first used the Quintessons in the UK-only framing sequence of "[[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006]]" and had a Quintesson find [[Mister Regan|an interrogator]] to be "innocent" of things which he is unambiguously guilty of. The 2014 novel ''[[Transformers: Retribution|Retribution]]'' also followed this path, with the note that "innocent" must "mean something different" to the aliens, as the characters on trial are indeed entirely guilty of what they are being accused of. What is consistently overlooked, however, is the one instance in all Transformers canon of the Quintessons actually finding someone guilty, which happens to Kup and Ultra Magnus in "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2]]". And they ''are'' guilty of the charges put before them: being Autobots, the race who stole Cybertron from the Quintessons. While it may have started out that way at some point in the script process of the movie, the cartoon universe made clear very early on that Quintesson justice isn't supposed to operate on reverse terminology for humor's sake; the aliens know the difference between the two terms, and the trials are just trivial, for their own amusement, before they kill you anyway.
*In a Q&A, [[Simon Furman]] said he considered making the [[Epistemus|Magnificence]] a Quintesson artifact but changed his mind.<ref>[http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=5032 SIMON FURMAN - Q&A Nov/Dec 2008 at IDW Publishing Forums]</ref>
*The ''Animated'' Quintessons are just off-screen mentions, but as their empire's name is near-identical to [[Japan|Imperial Japan]]'s {{w|Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere}}, we can assume they're ''very nasty''.

:''Sentinel Prime is an [[Autobot]] leader from the [[live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:DOTM-Sentinel-Heatscramble.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|What does [[Spock]] need with [[Ark (DOTM)|a starship]]?]]
'''Sentinel Prime''' hails from an older time when [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was the galaxy's crown jewel and the [[Transformer]] race was full of promise and potential. The only known remaining [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], he personified what a leader should be: wise, compassionate, and a more than worthy warrior. Revered by both [[Autobot]] and [[Decepticon]], few would dare stand against his shield and [[Primax Blade]].

But when Sentinel was presumably lost forever on board the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], his hand-picked successor, was left to fill his void. The loss of Sentinel signaled the end of Cybertron's golden age, and the planet spiraled deeper into war. Some who recall Sentinel's reign bitterly remember when Transformers were masters of their fate, rather than scattered to the stars and living as exiles. Above all, Sentinel Prime is a staunch patriot. He loves his home planet with all of his [[Spark]] and will do anything—even go to extremes—to protect it.

[[File:DOTM-Sentinelsleeps.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Sentinel just can't get to sleep without his security [[pillar]].]]

Long ago, Sentinel Prime was the leader of the Autobots before Optimus Prime during the war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. But as the conflict dragged on, with no end in sight, Sentinel found himself forced to make a drastic choice: a secret alliance with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Believing that it was only through the sacrifice of another world that Cybertron could be restored, Sentinel developed teleportational [[space bridge]] technology to transport resources across interstellar distances—but, knowing that Optimus would never condone his course of action, Sentinel kept his plans a secret, claiming the bridge was a means of transporting troops into battle. Sentinel's intention was to depart for the chosen planet—[[Earth]]—and meet Megatron there later, but during the battle that erupted around the departure of Sentinel's ship the [[Ark (DOTM)|''Ark'']], the vessel was damaged and sent spiralling off into the depths of space, presumed lost forever. The war was left to continue with none save Megatron aware of Sentinel's treachery.

In [[1961]], the ''Ark'' crashed on Earth's [[moon (moon)|moon]]. The impact was detected by [[NASA]], triggering the space race of the 1960s and leading to the [[United States of America]]'s eventual first trip to the moon in [[1969]], which was secretly an attempt to inspect the crashed alien ship. However, before [[Apollo 11]] got there, a team of Decepticons led by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], who had tracked the vessel, removed the majority of the space bridge [[pillar]]s from the ship to keep them out of human hands. The NASA astronauts found no trace of them, nor of Sentinel himself, safely sealed in the ship's crash vault with five remaining pillars.

[[File:DOTM-SentinelOptimusMatrix.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2|"Sorry Optimus, I don't want it. Because when I kill someone, I want them to ''stay'' dead."]]

In the present day, a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] resulted in Optimus Prime's Autobots discovery of a piece of the ''Ark'', which had been recovered by a later Russian moon mission. Demanding information from new National Security Director [[Charlotte Mearing]], Optimus learned that the ship was on the moon, and subseuently travelled there with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to find and retrieve Sentinel Prime. Taking his mentor's body back to Earth, Optimus revived him with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and Sentinel awoke in a crazed rage, briefly attacking Optimus before coming to his senses. Sentinel explained the space bridge to the Autobots and humans, lamenting the seeming loss of the pillars that the Decepticons had stolen, and took an immediate dislike to Mearing when she ordered the few remaining pillars taken into custody. Optimus proceeded to give Sentinel a tour of Earth, which led the old Autobot to marvel at the beauty and the life of the planet, after which Optimus offered Sentinel the Matrix back. Sentinel turned it down, feeling unable to lead on a planet he did not know, and telling Optimus that he was now his teacher, rather than his protege.

[[File:DOTMSentinelOptimus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Give me ''your'' face!]]

Discovering evidence that the Decepticons held the missing pillars, the Autobots' young human ally [[Sam Witwicky]] believed that the villains would soon be coming after Sentinel Prime, since only he could activate the technology. Several Autobots escorted Sentinel Prime back to NEST headquarters, fending off a [[Dread (DOTM)|team of Decepticons]] along the way, but once they had arrived at their destination, Sentinel allowed his facade to drop. Knowing that all was in readiness, he revealed his centuries-long alliance with Megatron by slaying [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] with his [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Cosmic Rust]] cannon, tearing NEST headquarters apart to reclaim the pillars, and departing to meet his Decepticon co-conspirators at the [[Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln Memorial]]. There, Sentinel opened a small space bridge portal above, through which Decepticon troops in waiting on the moon poured. Optimus Prime arrived and pleaded with Sentinel to stop, but Sentinel refused, leading to a battle between the two. Sentinel overpowered his former pupil, but spared his life.

[[File:DOTM-SentinelandMegatron.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2|Sentinel and his new hobo friend.]]

Sentinel proceeded to deceive the [[United Nations]], claiming that he and the Decepticons would harmlessly take the resources they needed from Earth and depart with no further bloodshed if Optimus and his "Autobot rebels" were exiled from the planet. The humans wasted no time in agreeing, and the [[Xantium (DOTM)|''Xantium'']] was launched with Earth's remaining eleven Autobots inside... whereupon [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew the shuttle to bits. With their primary opponents now believed obliterated, the Decepticons set about conquering the city of [[Chicago]] and positioning pillars in strategic locations around the world. Megatron gloated over the success of their partnership, but Sentinel was quick to violently and physically remind him that he was working ''with'' Megatron, not ''for'' him.

With the pillars in place, Sentinel activated the space bridge, opening a huge portal above the Earth through which Cybertron itself began to materialize. Earth was not without defenders, however: Optimus and the Autobots had, in fact, staged their deaths, and had arrived in Chicago to stop Sentinel's plot. Optimus shot out the control pillar, deactivating the bridge, leading a furious Sentinel to engage him in battle once more. Unlike their last bout, Optimus held his own, leading Sentinel to call upon Decepticon fighter ships to fire on his ex-apprentice, while he broke off to fight his way through the other Autobots in an attempt to escape. NEST soldiers destroyed the ships, allowing Optimus to pursue Sentinel and re-engage him, but this time, Sentinel took the upper hand when he severed one of Optimus's arms.

[[File:DOTM-allIeverwanted.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2|Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?]]
Just before Sentinel could deliver the killing blow, however, he came under attack from Megatron, who, thanks to the goading of Sam's girlfriend [[Carly Spencer]], had realized the threat Sentinel posed to his leadership and had decided to once again take his rightful place at the top of the command chain. At the same time, the other Autobots destroyed the reactivated control pillar, thus destroying the space bridge and apparently Cybertron with it. Though Megatron's attack on Sentinel saved Optimus's life, the Autobot leader refused Megatron's offer of a truce and killed his eternal foe, leaving Optimus and the now-badly-damaged Sentinel alone once more. Sentinel abandoned his pride; he pleaded with Optimus for mercy, claiming all he ever wanted was the survival of their race. Optimus countered that Sentinel hadn't betrayed the Autobots, but rather ''himself'', and as his treacherous mentor howled at the ruination of his plans, Optimus unceremoniously executed Sentinel Prime with Megatron's fusion shotgun. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Sentinel Prime's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]"; the "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybooks "[[Autobots Versus Decepticons]]," "[[Optimus Prime's Friends and Foes]]," "[[The Lost Autobot]]," "[[Dark of the Moon: Action Pop-ups!]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]." Several adaptations include plot points from earlier drafts of the film, including Sentinel killing [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] along with Ironhide; his willingness to kill Optimus at the Lincoln Memorial, sparing him instead only to save the pillars when they come under attack; and his being slain by Optimus using his own Cosmic Rust cannon, rather than Megatron's weapon.}}

After the battle of Chicago, Sentinel's head was recovered by [[Joshua Joyce]]'s [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] to be used to help manufacture their own Transformers. [[Brains]] personally worked on it along with the remains of other fallen Transformers.

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foundation1-SentinelPrimeaword.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|"That word is ''fart''."]]
Sentinel Prime was a direct descendant of the first Cybertronian, [[Primus]], and was believed to be the last of the [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]. He told tales to his much younger Cybertronian brethren of how the [[Dynasty of Primes]] had called upon a legendary artifact, the star-powered [[AllSpark]], to give life to their world. But the AllSpark had been lost to history, and their world had tumbled through the cosmos without a star to orbit for eons. Sentinel Prime had plans to rectify this, and he gathered followers who believed in his path to a new age of life on Cybertron. With the help of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and their legions, they searched the planet for the legendary artifact and a way to power it. However, there were the [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], a tribe of separatist Transformers who disbelieved in Sentinel Prime's vision, and warred against him and his followers. This conflict ended when, with the help of [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]], a sun to orbit was brought to Cybertron, and the AllSpark discovered and energized.

[[File:Foundation1 freedom.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.2|"Hey, a body! Buff, tanned... yeah, this is mine alright."]]

Though Sentinel Prime had finally returned the forgotten concept of "freedom" back to Cybertron, he felt he no longer had a part in its path to the future. He was old and tired, and spoke in confidence to Optimus, believing that young Autobot was also part of the Prime lineage and requesting that he take on the mantle of leadership. Though Optimus was too humble to accept, not believing Sentinel's claims about his heritage, Megatron overheard their conversation and became jealous of his "brother." {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Sentinel formulated another plan for Cybertron's future: it would be governed by Optimus's [[Science Division]] and Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. By having Optimus investigate the remains of the Primes' civilization, it would encourage him to believe in his lineage. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

Alas, after two generations of successful shared leadership, Megatron fell under the sway of [[The Fallen]], and reshaped his Defense Force as the [[Decepticon]]s, declaring war on Cybertron. Sentinel Prime was at the archaeological dig in Simfur when the first strike took place, and was quick to opt for a technique of self-preservation, rather than attempting to save the Science Division's work. Optimus soon arrived to fend the Decepticons off, and revealed that his studies had proven the truth of Sentinel's words: he was indeed a descendant of the Primes. He did not believe that this made him a born leader, but Sentinel impressed upon Optimus the necessity that he take up command of the [[Autobot]]s, that Cybertron might be saved from Megatron's destructive ambitions.

[[File:Foundation3 sentinels torch.jpg|left|thumb|"Jim... I am, and forever shall be, your friend."]]

As time passed, and the war rolled on with no signs of stopping, Sentinel Prime was forced to make a deal with Megatron to seek out another planet whose resources they can exploit to restore their homeworld. The chosen planet was the resting place of the Primes' Star Harvester. Sentinel recreated the Primes' lost [[space bridge]] technology, fashioning hundreds of pillars that would form a bridge large enough to teleport Cybertron itself across the cosmos {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} Sentinel then invented a mysterious "torch" that he promised would end the war. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} The torch had to be brought into contact with the AllSpark to be activated, so the Autobots launched an attack on the Simfur temple to carry out this action while Sentinel stood by with a spacecraft, the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], to await delivery of the active torch. [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita One]] soon returned with the torch, at which point Sentinel instructed Wheeljack to take the [[Ark (Movie)|second Ark]] and collect the remaining Autobots from [[Tyger Pax]], while he himself headed to Simfur to collect Optimus's forces. Upon arrival at Simfur, however, Sentinel's Ark was attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and was consumed by a huge explosion, leaving all present to believe it, Sentinel, and all aboard had been destroyed. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

In actuality, Sentinel's Ark had not been vaporized as believed: it had been teleported away by the [[space bridge]] technology it was outfitted with. With all hands knocked into stasis by the explosion, the ship automatically jinked through space and time on a series of random space bridge jumps, until at last, its sensors locked on to the energy of the AllSpark, which had since been ejected from Cybertron and had crash-landed on the planet [[Earth]]. On its penultimate jump, the Ark crossed paths with the Decepticon ship ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', which had departed Cybertron just as the war was beginning, and was now also following the AllSpark's trail. The Ark materialized from its jump into the same physical space as the ''Nemesis'', crippling both ships beyond repair; the Ark made one final bridge jump, reappearing in the immediate vicinity of Earth in 1962, where it crashed violently onto Earth's [[moon (moon)|Moon]]. All the Autobots aboard perished save for Sentinel himself, who was in the crash vault and remained slumbering in stasis. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1|Convergence chapter 1}}

===Titan movie comics===
Sentinel was a direct descendant of [[Primus]], the first Cybertronian, and one of the last surviving Primes. With a firm but just hand, he ruled the Autobots before the war. During the war, he named Optimus his successor before departing on a mission into deep space, only for his ship to be shot down by enemy fire...

But his Ark merely crashed somewhere near Earth in 1962, a fragment of it landing in Fiesole, [[Italy]]. When a human discovered it in 2011, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] tried to prevent the Autobots from getting that fragment and finding their way to the lost Ark. The Autobots finding Sentinel was ''not'' an option for Starscream and the concept unnerved him... Apparently, the fragment had the power to make martyrs of the good and bad alike. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.1|Fight for Fiesole}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Tyran 609.23-PX Kappa]], Megatron, rather than Optimus Prime, defeated [[The Fallen]]. Megatron went on to gather his army and wage a successful campaign against the Autobots and [[NEST]] on Earth. Falling for baited clues that [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] left for [[Sam Witwicky]], Optimus Prime took the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' to the Moon. Backed into a desperate corner by the Decepticon offensive, Optimus revived Sentinel Prime right on the lunar surface. With Sentinel's aid, Megatron defeated and captured Optimus. With the aid of collaborationist humans, Megatron used space bridge technology to bring Cybertron to Earth orbit, and under [[Dylan Gould]]'s leadership, humans were put to work strip-mining Earth for resources to rebuild Cybertron.

All of this changed when [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] arrived. The bounty hunter demanded that Optimus be handed over to him. Megatron and Sentinel both refused, the former out of pride and the latter out of loyalty. Lockdown then offered a protomatter [[seed]] to Sentinel in exchange for Optimus. While Sentinel was sorely tempted, Optimus used the opportunity to reignite Sentinel's sense of justice. Sentinel proceeded to pretend to hand over Optimus, ambush and defeat Lockdown, and capture Lockdown's [[Knight Ship|ship]]. Allying themselves with the legendary [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, Optimus and Sentinel waged a long guerilla campaign against Megatron and the Decepticons, eventually restoring freedom to Earth and revitalizing Cybertron with the seed. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22}}

**''Series'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''002'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV05'''
**''Accessories:'' Primax blade, shield/fire truck roof

: Sentinel Prime was released as part of the first [[wave]] of [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|''Dark of the Moon'']] ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toys. He transforms from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back. He comes with his sword and shield, both of which he can wield in either hand. The sword stores underneath his vehicle mode, whereas the shield folds in half and becomes part of the fire truck roof (including the boom arm). Because the boom arm has a grip at the middle that allows Sentinel to hold it in shield mode, the grip can be used as a [[C joint]] bar in vehicle mode.

: Because of clearance issues, bringing and folding his arms to his back for vehicle mode can be rather difficult. The shoulders are more likely to pop off the plastic swivels they're on.

: On some (early?) releases, the Rosenbauer logo on the right side of the truck is reversed.

**''Japanese Release Date: '''[[2011]]-[[August 13|08-13]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA20'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Boom Lift/[[Fusion cannon]]

:Sentinel Prime is in the third wave of ''Dark of the Moon'' ''[[MechTech]]'' Voyagers. He converts from a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 airport fire truck to robot and back. He features an itty-bitty flip out nozzle on his front. His rotating and extending MechTech Boom Lift (which looks like a giant cannon due to the [[5mm post|peg]] at the tip) becomes a Fusion Cannon when a large button is pushed, but only if the button (which is rotatable) has its underside tabs aligned with its respective sockets on the weapon housing. The weapon can be locked in this mode if the button is rotated while pressed. The weapon itself features a MechTech port on each side panel, with the aforementioned peg at the tip of the Boom Lift.

:While his firetruck roof [[kibble]] is intentionally used as wings/a cape, he's still a pretty significant [[shellformer]], flopping nearly his entire firetruck side panels and front (along with his roof) onto his back, with only his wheels, leg panels, and feet being integrated in any way with his vehicle mode.

:Like the Cyberverse Dark Sentinel Prime, this figure's Autobot symbols are deliberately scratched out. However, his box bio remains coy about his true nature.

:As with all Japanese Dark of the Moon releases, Sentinel Prime (named Cannon Sentinel Prime) comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game. The toy was originally solicited as "New Sentinel Prime"

There are two [[5mm post]] hole MechTech ports in this mode; the one on the right hand side of the vehicle has a button inside, that when pushed in (by plugging in a MechTech weapon), activates a weapon deploying sound effect. Pressing the cabin roof button in this mode activates a weapon firing sound. Removing the MechTech weapon activates the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]].

:A [[Stealth Force]]-style attack vehicle mode can be formed by opening panels on the rearward sides of the vehicle to expose hidden weapons (that look like missiles) and two more MechTech ports, activating the MechTech Shield's Bladed Blaster mode (by pressing the large button on it marked by the [[Cyberglyphics]]) and attaching that to the vehicle MechTech ports, and clipping the Primax Blade's handle into the two tabs on top of the Shield/Bladed Blaster's turret. In a reversal of his Cyberverse toy, Sentinel's double-bladed Primax Blade folds in half and stores underneath the grey panels forming the roof of much of the vehicle, while the MechTech shield is stored under the truck.

:In robot mode, when the button on Sentinel Prime's chest is pushed, his eyes light up, his chin moves and he says "I am Sentinel Prime!" Two more phrases, "Good to see you alive, Optimus." and "What has happened to the [[AllSpark]]?" are heard when a weapon is inserted into the MechTech port with the button inside of it and the chest button pushed. Unfortunately, international releases of the toy only say the cut-down phrase "Sentinel Prime" (replacing the extra phrases with an electronic pulsing noise and another transformation sound effect) due to the need for the figure to be released in non-English-speaking markets. The siren lights and sounds can still be activated by pressing the grey button back and to the left of Sentinel Prime's head.

:In this mode, Sentinel has four more 5mm MechTech ports: one each on either shoulder and one each on either forearm. If that's still not enough, the screw holes under his wrists can accommodate 5mm weapons as well, for a total of eight weapons beyond those included with the figure. The Primax Blade and Shield can both be held via their respective handles in either of Sentinel's articulated hands; the shield can also be plugged into the MechTech port in Sentinel's forearms.

:The red detailing on the shield as seen in the stock photography is not present on the final product.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

: As the name implies, this [[Walmart]]-exclusive [[giftset]] would have contained a ''Dark of the Moon'' Leader Class Sentinel Prime figure and a ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#LeaderSentinelDeluxeNitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee figure]]. They would have been unchanged from their individual releases. The existence of this unreleased set was revealed by an eBay auction after the DOTM toyline was effectively over.

*'''Sentinel Prime''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''30687'''
**''Pieces'': '''386'''
**''Kreons'': Sentinel Prime, [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Soundwave]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Thundercracker]], [[Fire Chief (Kre-O)|Fire Chief]]

:Sentinel is part of the first [[wave]] of ''[[Kre-O]]'' sets and can be built in either robot or ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' inspired fire truck mode. A Kreon can fit in his cab.

:Like many other Kre-O sets, the stock photography features robot construction that differs from the final product. Sentinel Prime's shoulders, feet, and legs are a bit different than on the actual toy. The stock photography actually shows a robot mode that is more similar to his appearance in Dark of the Moon; specifically the shielded shoulders and pointed feet.

:Sentinel Prime's head shape is based on ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]. The design of the Sentinel Prime Kreon is inspired by [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|IDW (2005) Sentinel Prime]]'s appearance in the ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]'' comic series, and his helmet is based on (and was later used for) Generation 1 [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]].

:"Galvatron Factory Battle" is based on [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]]'s factory complex, and one component of the playset build incorporates Sentinel Prime's severed head in a clear jar. He does not sport a helmet, likely due to the small size of the jar.

***''Fist strength'': '''980'''
***''Blaster strength'': '''630'''
***''Sword strength'': '''190'''

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'', Sentinel Prime is a teeny little fire truck with a spring-loaded automatic transformation to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. He is heavily based on the live-action movie sentinel Prime, with his head based on the Sentinel [[Sentinel Prime (Kre-O)|''Kre-O'' figure]] (which is in turn inspired by ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]]'s head).

:As this "Super Bot" of this wave, Sentinel is mostly unpainted clear-plastic, has different power ratings (Including a much higher "Fist" score) than his (later) normal release, and is [[shortpacking|shortpacked]] to boot.

:This mold was also used to make ''Bot Shots'' [[Hot Spot (G1)#Bot Shots|Protectobot Hot Spot]] and the main body for ''BeCool'' [[Ganoh#BeCool|Ganoh]].

*In an early draft of ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'', time stops as [[Sam Witwicky]] falls down the building [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] smashed, and Sentinel appears to him via the [[AllSpark]]. Sentinel would've clarified the history of the war and the relationship between Optimus and Megatron (expanding on their history as siblings) and given him a clue to defeating Megatron with the Cube.<ref>[http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/tf1-amblin.html Blog post] from [[Ken Christiansen]].</ref>
*An early working name for Sentinel Prime for ''Dark of the Moon'' was '''Ultra Magnus'''.<ref>[http://tilallaremine.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/dark-of-the-moon-call-sheets/ Dark of the Moon Call Sheets! at Til All Are Mine blog.]</ref><ref>[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm joshnizzi.com]</ref>
*In the debut trailer for the film ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Sentinel Prime is seen in a gold and silver color scheme. This shot was redone for the movie proper, and he consistently appears red throughout the film. However, the intro to the home video release still shows the gold Sentinel. And this applies for ALL formats: DVD, Blu-ray, 3D, 4K Ultra HD...
*The Rosenbauer Panther fire truck cast as Sentinel Prime was entirely repainted specifically for the film, at a cost of thousands of dollars; real-world aircraft fire-fighting vehicles are required by FAA regulations to have a much lighter color scheme.<ref>[http://www.rosenbaueramerica.com/press/2011/06/rosenbauer-panther-6x6-to-be-f/ Rosenbauer America press release, June 28, 2011]</ref> It was repainted and given to a different airport, where it currently remains active.
*In ''Dark of the Moon'', Sentinel Prime says "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Leonard Nimoy said the same line in the 1982 film ''{{w|Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan}}'' as [[Spock]], in one of several ''[[Star Trek]]'' references in the movie.

First revealed at [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]], '''''Studio Series''''', underneath the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' banner, acts as a celebration of over ten years of live-action movies, with characters from every movie represented. It also coincides with ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', the sixth film in [[Michael Bay]]'s [[live-action film series]].

Each toy is numbered, with an indication of their movie of origin. All figures also come with a cardboard backdrop depicting a notable scene from their respective movie. Backdrops from separate figures representing the same scene are designed to be displayed side-by-side.

With rough robot mode [[scale]] as a line-wide goal, each figure is sized in relation to other toys, even in the same [[size class]]; Deluxe Jazz is shorter than Deluxe Bumblebee, who is in turn shorter than Deluxe Ratchet.

===Multi-packs and exclusives===
[[File:Studio-Series-MVBB-Rebekah's-Garage-15-Bumblebee-with-Charlie.jpg|thumb|300px|Bumblebee multipack]]
These are even more complicated than usual, and that's ''before'' international releases come into play. Thundercracker was originally released as a worldwide [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive, but due to the bankruptcy of Toys"R"Us in several countries, he only had a very short availability window in those markets. and was never added to the Toys"R"Us online store before the latter ceased operations. Likewise, the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack was originally intended as a Toys"R"Us exclusive but ultimately was only released that way in Canada, which still ''had'' Toys"R"Us by the time it came out. In the United States, both Thundercracker and the 2-pack were eventually made available through numerous online retailers such as [[BigBadToyStore]], Entertainment Earth, ToyWiz, and TFSource, although the 2-pack was also inexplicably found at a single [[Target]] store several months earlier.

The Bumblebee Then & Now 2-pack was exclusive to Target in the United States and to Kmart in Australia; the Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage set debuted at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018 and was later also made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] (and additionally was also available at general retail in Taiwan and was offered at Comic-Con Paris 2018); and both the Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway set and the Drift/Baby Dinobots set appear to be "online exclusives" shared between the same online retailers that also offered Thundercracker and the Bumblebee/Charlie 2-pack, although both were initially claimed to be exclusive to Entertainment Earth. We say "appear" because the Retro Pop Highway set was ''also'' available at GameStop stores in the United States, ''and'' both sets are ''also'' listed in Diamond Comic Distributors' ''Previews'' catalog, so really the only "exclusivity" for these appears to be that neither of them is available from Walmart or Target. Battle Damaged Megatron was first found stocked by Hong Kong shops, and much later, was put up for pre-order on Toys"R"Us' Canadian website, and then on Target's US website before being found in stores.

==Studio Series (TakaraTomy)==
Similar to ''Power of the Primes'', in Takara's ''Studio Series'' (スタジオシリーズ) line, all figures are identical to their Hasbro counterparts, forgoing Takara's past practice of using more movie-accurate paint jobs. This is most likely due to the line being an official collaboration between Hasbro and [[TakaraTomy]], much like the ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece#Masterpiece Movie Series|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' line. ID numbering differs after number 8 compared to the Hasbro release, since many figures and exclusives are not yet released in Japan. Starting with Wave 4, the packages feature the franchise's 35th anniversary logo.

==Notes==
*''Studio Series'' can be considered a "sister series" to Hasbro's ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]: The Black Series'' and ''Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years'', which are based around a similar concept and feature a similar overall packaging design.
*In July 2017, photos of a computer screen taken during an internal Hasbro presentation were leaked to the public that revealed, among other things, the very ''existence'' of the ''Studio Series'' general retail line-up, though not the actual title "Studio Series" yet (which was later revealed through separate leaks). The fact that the slides incorrectly featured projected release dates for "2017" instead of 2018 (which included dates ''predating'' the leak) led some fans to assume that the still unannounced line-up had long since been canceled. it wouldn't be until several leaks later that Hasbro ''finally'' acknowledged the existence of the ''Studio Series'' line, and revealed the first few [[wave]]s during New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], even offering a limited quantity of the first wave of Deluxe Class figures as an early release through the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website. Simultaneously, [[TakaraTomy]] revealed their version of the line at [[Wonder Festival]] Winter 2018.
*Among the figures whose existence was revealed through the aforementioned July 2017 leak that were ''not'' officially unveiled at Toy Fair was Voyager Class Ironhide, who made his worldwide debut at retail in Singapore in June of 2018. Subsequently, Hasbro announced the redeco of Voyager Class Starscream (based on his appearance in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''), the final figure revealed through the July 2017 leak, via their "[[Hasbro Pulse]]" Instagram account a few days before [[San Diego Comic-Con]], even though they ''still'' hadn't officially acknowledged the existence of Ironhide by that point.
* Like with previous movie-based lines, ''Studio Series'' also assigned code names to at least some of its characters. This time, the "theme" for those code names was "Australian race horses":
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Stryker"
:::*Dropkick: "Blue Light"
:::*Megatron: "Fox"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Radar"
:::*KSI Sentry: "Sentry"
:::*Shadow Raider: "Mercenary"
}}
The code names many of the other figures, assuming they even ''had'' code names, are still unknown, as those toys have (thus far) consistently been listed under their actual characters' names. Meanwhile, a listing for a supposed Voyager Class figure using the code name "Destroyer" later turned out to be a mislabeled Energon Igniters Speed Series [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Bumblebee|Barricade]] from the [[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|''Bumblebee'' movie toy line]], with which the ''Studio Series'' shares its code names.

Megatron (Movie)/toys

2019-04-06T05:06:01Z

MisterKenneth: Undo revisions by (talk) and (talk) I checked for any sources confirming this, and I found nothing. Are you sure you weren't referring to the Masterpiece Megatron?

{{suite}}

'''[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]''' got the Hollywood bad-guy treatment, and therefore got truckloads of toys too!

He also ''became'' a truck later on. Funny, that is.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Legends Class toys====
[[File:Movie Legends Megatron toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Just what the hell do I turn into?]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Megatron'''
:[[Legends Class]] Megatron is the smallest mainline ''Movie'' Megatron toy. The sheer simplicity of the Legends class toy means that his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] is basically his [[robot mode]] splayed out. His robot mode is passably accurate, but has the Alien Queen-esque head design that was replaced with the finalized design after this figure's production (though due to the lack of detail, it can also be interpreted as his current head design). Due to his transformation scheme, he has swiveling waist. Despite it's simplicity, the Legends class figure is far closer to Megatron's actual design in the movie than most of his larger figures.

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

:The figure is misassembled in package with the arms being swapped putting paint applications and more sculpted detail on the wrong sides of his arms; it is a simple matter to rectify this though as they are on rather loose ball joints at the shoulder and are easily popped off and swapped round. It should be noted that the arms & head is molded in softer, rubbery plastic, and it was unknown if they would harden and break just like [[Scorponok (Movie)#Legends_Class_toys|Scorponok]].

:A [[Target]] [[exclusive]], this four-pack of Legends Class figures contains two versions of both Optimus Prime and Megatron, namely [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Movie Legends Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Legends of Cybertron Megatron]] and Movie Legends Megatron.

:His arms are still misassembled in-package.

:A [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive, this six-pack of Legends Class figures contains unmodified toys of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (Movie)#TRULegendsPack|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Bumblebee]], Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Starscream]], and [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#BftAS|Barricade]].

====Voyager Class toys====
[[File:Movie Voyager Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey, I think I'm as weird as the ''[[Transformers: The War Within|War Within]]'' figures! ...nah, not there yet.]]
*'''Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Voyager Class Megatron transforms into an ice-covered version of his Cybertronic jet, with transparent blue plastic forming large portions of his vehicle mode, such as parts of his wings. This ice design is carried onto his robot mode, with his legs, shoulders and chest having some kind of 'ice' plastic covering them. With a significantly different (and simple compared to other figures of the same pricepoint) transformation sequence compared to his earlier Leader class toy, his chest frost lowers and his shoulders raise to robot mode position when you bring his lower body forward thanks to [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] technology. He also has his fusion cannon in its entirety on his left arm. His wings feature flip-out "ice blades", and pulling on a piece in the back of his jet mode brings them forward like pincer claws.

:Something interesting to note is that his feet are entirely spring-loaded, which means his foot and the two "rear toes" on each feet automatically close up when he's not standing up. Surprisingly, this helps a lot with the posing, as the feet parts automatically position themselves for the perfect balance.

:The stock photo on the toy's packaging depicts Megatron with the unused head that appeared in some concept art. However, the rest of the figure's body is still modeled after the final character model.

[[File:Movie Voyager Premium Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Wouldn't the toy above be much cooler with duller colours?]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:One of the first figures available in the ''[[Premium Series]]'' (although not explicitly identified on the packaging as such), Voyager Class Megatron was released exclusively at Best Buy on October 16th, 2007 alongside the North American launch of the ''Transformers'' movie DVD. Megatron has been completely redecoed, covering most of his previously grey parts with metallic silver paint and a black paint wash over the top of that. Black and gold highlights are used to offset all of the silver, while the transparent 'ice' parts are clear. These changes essentially make Megatron far more accurate to his movie appearance.

:Megatron is presented in robot mode inside a special display box similar in shape to the packaging for the Hasbro release of ''Generation 1'' ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]].

{{anchor|BOMC}}
[[File:Movie Voyager BOMC Megatron.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Battle Over Mission City''' ("Screen Battles" two-pack, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:A Target exclusive redeco of Voyager Class Megatron in primarily beige and chocolate brown colors with brown paintwashes, this version replaces the ice colored translucent plastic with two shades of translucent orange to replicate a look that resembles Megatron's fiery demise (or atmospheric re-entry). Unlike the previous releases, this version's wings are painted to match the body color, so they give the appearance of molten slag. This version was only available in a two-pack with a mostly unchanged Deluxe Class [[Jazz (Movie)#TargetvsMegatron|Final Battle Jazz]] in reference to their fight on the skyscraper featured in the film.

:As the colors on this Megatron are very similar to the colors on the Screen Battles version of Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]], it can be assumed that those two sets are meant to also represent the climactic final battle at the end of the film.

====Leader Class toys====
[[File:Movie Leader Megatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Ohhhh! I turn into a big-boned guy!"]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-07'''
:Leader Class ''Movie'' Megatron transforms into a silver Cybertronic assault jet. In robot mode, Megatron's right "[[Rocket Claw]]" disconnects at the wrist to become the spiked end of the extendable "[[mace|chain]] [[whip]]" weapon concealed within his forearm; pressing the black switch on the arm pulls the chain taut for a whipping attack. His arms also link together at the wrists to form a "[[fusion cannon]]," with the pod on his left forearm concealing the weapon's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing twin barrels, exposed by pulling a switch. His other automorph features include his wings folding up as his vehicle nosecone is moved into place, and his feet unfolding as his knees are straightened. Finally, pressing the button on his waist activates a small friction motor, which moves various torso plates and blades on his back into place, accompanied by a metallic shrieking sound and flashing yellow lights.

:Megatron's instructions summarily fail to actually tell the reader about how his gimmicks work. The whipping-action black switch for his flail is not mentioned; they do not detail how to connect the arms for fusion cannon mode; and the fact that the cannon is on a slider, allowing it to be center-aligned, rather than sitting off to one side, is also omitted.

:There is an error in Megatron's legs, in that his left and right hip joints have been swapped for reasons unknown. Switching them allows for a slightly smoother transformation. In addition to ''that'', both of Megatron's hands have a finger misassembly. Two pieces are molded to have two fingers, while one is obviously supposed to be a thumb–however, this thumb is on the 'outside' of his hands instead of the inside. The prototype on the packaging's stock photos show the correct assembly.

:Possibly a dropped feature [[for safety reasons]], the right hand (partly a projectile tethered to the arm) is designed to launch out of his wrist via a spring-loaded firing mechanism. However, the spring for the launching mechanism was removed, though the firing trigger remains. One can either find a compatible spring or steal the spring in his left arm fusion cannon, then place it in his right forearm, though stealing the spring from his left arm would disable his fusion cannon-retracting Automorph.

{{anchor|PremiumLeader}}
[[File:Premium Movie Megs.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Hey, I got a tan!"]]
*'''Megatron''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
:Premium Megatron is a redeco of the previously released Leader Class Megatron. The figure is now given far more movie-accurate paint applications of black, gold, & silver. Premium Megatron also features the classic transformation sound when the chest Automorph function is activated. The original "metal shriek" sound is retained when the sound button is pressed in vehicle mode.

:In the promotional photos of the toy, this version was pictured with a new vehicle mode face cover that fit the new head better. However, this retool was apparently dropped before actual production but can still be seen on the box back photography. All manufacturing errors from the first release are still present.

:Unlike some of the early "Premium Series" toys, Premium Leader Megatron was mass-released at a variety of retailers, instead of being an exclusive to any particular store.

*'''Fusion Blast Megatron''' ([[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]], 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:Fusion Blast Megatron is a simple version of Megatron with dorky-looking proportions in robot mode, and it turns into an even dorkier-looking vehicle mode. The transformation sequence manages to be even more simple and non-involved than the other ''Movie'' Megatron toys by means of an Automorph feature very similar to the early Beast Wars flipchangers. Moving his back section down causes the torso to flip up, hiding the head and positioning the arms skywards. Though the figure requires a little more repositioning and folding, most of the transformation is done with a single step.

:The figure's packaging depicts Megatron with a different head sculpt and silver paint instead of unpainted gray plastic.

====Jollibee Kids Meal====
*'''Megatron''' (Jollibee Kids Meal toy, 2007)

:Available only at Jollibee fast food chains in the Philippines, this Megatron toy is functionally an upscaled version of his Legends class figure though with minor transformation differences. It also has a new head sculpt which is markedly more detailed than the Legends toy but still has the concept design head rather than the final version in the film.

{{anchor|ROTFlegend}}[[File:TF-ROTF-Legends-Class-Megatron.jpg|After enduring countless "What do I turn into" captions, Michael Bay started from scratch.|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Megatron''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-02'''

:Megatron transforms from a reasonably accurate version of his movie robot mode to a reasonably accurate version of his tank mode (with a teeny extra Megatron face in his groin, without paint details probably to avoid creepiness). He has ball-jointed shoulders and hips in robot mode, plus elbow and knee joints. His alt mode turret is formed by merging his left and right arms, which is a neat callback to the first movie's fusion cannon, but means the turret can't rotate side to side, only pivot at the barrel.

:Several samples suffer from a disconnected lower left leg, which should be connected to the metal rod inside the upper leg. While the loose appendage cannot be repaired without extensive tooling, the upper leg is tight enough to prevent the leg from falling out during display or careful play. Speaking of legs, this Legends Class Megatron is somewhat prone to falling down with a light breeze of wind. The kibble on his robot mode back doesn't help the balancing at all.

:Megatron also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' EZ Collection sets. And like all first waves, He comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline.

*'''Megatron''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The second mainline ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Megatron toy is more slender than the larger Leader-Class Megatron, as it was based (more or less) on the finalized Megatron design, and as such, features a sleeker tank mode, a large lobster-claw like right arm and a normal-sized left arm. Unlike the larger toy, the Voyager's firing missile is located on the left arm, though the end is still sculpted to look like a set of fingers, and he also wears the entire top of the tank as a [[kibble]] backpack instead of having jet turbines like the Leader class toy. For some reason, he's also green (thankfully, less so than the stock image pictured here).

:He features two [[Mech Alive]] gimmicks. Turning his waist turns internal gears in his chest, while bending his right elbow makes a blade extend in and out of his claw.

:This [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive three pack includes a redeco of Megatron's Voyager-Class toy from the first movie in a scheme basically identical to the first movie's Voyager "Premium Series" version (but with much fewer paint details), as well as the Voyager-Class [[The Fallen#GatheringNemesis|The Fallen]] and a redeco of Deluxe-Class [[Soundwave (ROTF)#GatheringNemesis|Soundwave]].

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

[[File:ROTF Leader Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Beefcake!]]
*'''Megatron''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:The first and largest ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Megatron toy is based on an earlier design for Megatron that differs slightly from the final CG model. This design is more bulky and hunchbacked than the final design, has a right arm with a shoulder pad that doubles as a bladed shield, and also has a very short and gimpy left arm. Like the Voyager Class toy, he also features feet that do not look like the CGI model, which has large two-toed feet formed by the tank treads rather than flat, clawed feet that resemble those of the first movie's design. Leaving the feet retracted creates a more movie-accurate appearance when the legs are viewed from the front (when viewed from the side, Megatron's legs look like stubs).

:The figure transforms into a Cybertronian tank, though it lacks the wings seen in the film and is also less streamlined. In robot mode, Megatron's entire lower right arm is a spring-loaded missile launcher and the tank turret's armour/shroud can be mechanically repositioned to partially cover the cannon, with flip-out sword blade, as seen in the early concept design. Due to the amount of [[gimmick]]ry involved, the right arm has no elbow.

:Pressing the Decepticon symbol-emblazoned button on his chest activates his light, [[Mech Alive]], and voice sound effects ("I am Megatron!"). The Mech Alive mechanics involve shaking his head to and fro while panels in his chest shudder. The European release (sold in the UK and non-English speaking countries) proclaims just simply "Megatron!" with laughter. After a month or two, the American release became available in the UK as well as the Canadian province of Quebec, while English Canada (which usually stocks the American release) somehow got the European version in some areas.

:Interestingly, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|while]] [[Starscream (Movie)/toys|other]] [[Demolishor (ROTF)|figures]] in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' line suffered mold simplifications from budget cuts, Megatron got mold ''additions''. Hasbro's stock pictures depict a vastly different and much smaller shield which lacks the outer claw prongs and has different detailing, and there is no evidence that the flip-down feet had been implemented at all. These late mold changes may have been done to slightly increase the toy's accuracy to his movie depiction and, in the case of the flip-down feet, to make Megatron look like he actually has ''feet'' rather than stubs to walk on.

*'''Shadow Command Megatron''' (Leader, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Shadow Command Megatron, as the name suggests, is a mostly black redeco of Leader class Megatron, which much resembles the previous Fast Action Battlers ''Night Attack Megatron'' redeco. The figure sports more paint applications than the first release. The voice chip has been changed, instead of saying "I am Megatron!" like the initial release, it says "There is no command but mine!". The blast sound effect has also been changed to a laser sound, and a G1-esque sound effect plays when rotating Megatron's legs during transformation.

:Initial shipments of Shadow Command Megatron have a minor misassembly in his right shoulder that causes the laser sound effect to go off only when his arm is pointing backwards, as opposed to forward. It is fixable, but only after knocking out a pin.

*'''Cannon Blast Megatron''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
**''Accessories'': Projectile

:A much simpler version of Megatron, this figure transforms by putting his arms behind his back and folding in half at the waist, more or less. His right arm has a spring-launched missile fired via a switch on the side, as well a soft plastic blade that can be folded out. Twisting the figure's right arm produces a chopping action. Due to the weird design of the feet and weight distribution, Megatron is difficult to stand up unless he is hunched forward.

*'''Megatron''' (Cyberverse Commander, 2011)
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''003'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV07'''
**''Accessories:'' Fuel tank halves/Double Cannons

:[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander Class Megatron is an abbreviated version of his Voyager counterpart, transforming into a single piece fuel tanker. The fuel tank splits in half, forming hand-held double cannons which then can be combined into a large cannon. The [[C joint]] mounting clip of the fuel tank is on a swivel, allowing the large cannon to be mounted onto the smokestacks and used in vehicle mode. His head is also on a pivot joint, allowing him to look up and down.

:Care must be taken while forming the rear cabin: The instructions tell you to fold the feet panels up after transforming the legs first, but it will cause some slight stress marks on the feet panels/smokestacks' joints. We recommend folding the panels up first while the legs are still separated.

[[File:DOTMMegatron Voyager toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|You know, I'm beginning to like this Megaweapon.]]
*'''Megatron''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD01'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Fusion Cannon]], tarp/cape

:Megatron now transforms into a <s>disfigured Mad Max truck</s> officially licensed Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and trailer, although it lacks many of the features in the movie, such as the spikes on the roof and the rope mesh on the hood. The forward half of the trailer-mounted oil tank converts into Megatron's [[MechTech]] Blaster, which in turn converts into a Fusion Cannon when the ladder is pushed in. Like all MechTech Voyager toys, his weapon can lock into this mode by pushing the ladder all the way in and rotating it to the right. Megatron has six MechTech [[5mm post]]/MechTech ports in vehicle mode, including three on his MechTech weapon, two on the steps below the truck cab doors, and a self-covering port (which automatically fills in the hole when a weapon is not inserted) on the roof. Though the truck cab and its "trailer" are a single entity that cannot be separated, Megatron does have an articulation joint between where the trailer and cab connect where the fifth wheel hitch would be, despite being formed from his independently-jointed legs.

:The rubbery tarp over the tanker is a two piece affair, with a detachable 'hood' accessory that slots into a port beside Megatron's neck. This deliberately obscures Megatron's badly mutilated face, a callback to the injuries he received at the climax of ''Revenge of the Fallen''. In [[robot mode]], two more MechTech ports become available on his legs, and two on the truck steps end up on his arms; all other MechTech ports from vehicle mode are still usable. Megatron's fusion cannon can even be mounted on his back, like in the movie, thanks to the truck's cab (and associated MechTech port) winding up on his back. Care should be taken when transforming the shoulders, as the tiny Mack dog hood ornament is prone to being snapped off by the shifting black bumper section. It is also quite difficult to get his chest to tab into his shoulder panels due to his arms getting in the way, and his already short pegs having to tab into very shallow holes.

:Megatron is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:The gun from the Evasion Mode Optimus Prime toy, released several years after, is intended to be compatible with this figure-not only is it sculpted to resemble the shotgun Megs used (twice) in the movie, a tab on the handle (not the post that was supposed to be the handle for ''Age of Extinction'' Optimus) allows him to wield it properly by slotting onto a slot on his hand. It even has 5mm posts on its side so that it can mount in movie-accurate fashion on his back!

: The movie Megatron [[Kreon]] is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body, as that's the one that shows up in the Ride (and as a photo-opportunity "mascot" character on the park grounds). He was available exclusively in a box set sold at the ''[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]'' gift shop at [[Universal]] Studios theme parks.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies (and a logo-plate rather than the older 2x4 logo-brick). Megatron's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged.

: Where the other park-exclusive toys can be purchased through Universal's online store, the ''[[Kre-O]]'' pack is ''only'' available at the park proper at the time of this writing.

His "normal" helmet and two drills (attached to clip-on turbines/cannons) are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens) and a spare hand, plus buildable tread-backpack, and a pistol (originally a [[Klingon]] disruptor from ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'').

:Part of the second wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Galvatron transforms into a 2012 Freightliner Argosy. Given that it would be impossible to emulate his on-screen transformation, he is a ''complete'' [[Shellformer|shell-former]], with his truck mode folding up solely along his back and calves. As with Evasion Optimus Prime, he has a different paint scheme than seen on his packaging, with fewer paint applications on his body and weapon. His cannon can either be held like a gun or fitted on his hand in a way that appears as if it is coming out of his arm.

:Galvatron's package is the only packaging in the Age of Extinction toyline thus far that neglects to mention what his alternate mode is called. The only mention of Freightliner being involved with his alternate mode is in the tiny copyright information section of the box.

:The ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version adds some additional paint applications for a more screen-accurate look, most notably, a darker face with yellowish-red eyes. This mold was later retooled into JD.com exclusive [[JD Red Knight]].

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Megatron is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from a Cybertronian Jet to robot in just a few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Cybertronian Jet Mode. On the other note, his arm-mounted Fusion Cannon is very, very small.

For his size, he is quite well articulated, though most of it is used for his transformation scheme.

:In Japan, Megatron was available as a giveaway item for Mitsui Shopping Park's Toys"R"Us stores located at Lalaport Tokyo Bay, and he can be obtained by purchasing 5000 yen worth of ''Transformers'' products. The figure is limited to the first 300 customers, by the way.

:It should be noted that ''every'' photos of the toy featured in the magazine (including the commercial) is slightly mistansformed: his cockpit/cannon is not rotated in robot mode, although the magazine's 115th page shows that his cannon is rotated correctly.

:"Mission to Cybertron" Megatron is a redeco/new head retool of [[Megatron_(G1)/toys#Deluxe|''Generations Thrilling 30'' Megatron]] (and also the first Deluxe Class Movie Megatron toy that is not a [[Fast Action Battler]]), featuring a new head based on his appearance in the movie, albeit in a ''Generation 1''-ish style. He transforms from robot into Don Figueroa's stealth bomber design from IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series (which resembles a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit). In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his fusion cannon. The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. Many figures were erroneously released with [[Quality control|two left fists]]. The instructions still depict his original mold's head.

:As with most "Mission to Cybertron" figures, Megatron features Cyberglyphics on both sides of the wings/fusion cannon, which translate to his own name. He also comes with a card, with the glyphs being decoded as "ENERGON", while the back features a piece (which includes Megatron) for the 6-part "Mission to Cybertron" poster.

:The figure also saw release in Japan, also as a Toys"R"Us exclusive, without any changes from the American release. This mold was also used to make ''Generations'' [[Dreadwing (G2)#Generations|Dreadwing]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Krok (G1)#Timelines|Krok]].

:Released in the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyagers, Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to Cybertronian jet. It is armed with a weapon resembling the [http://www.higgins-collection.org/artifacts/1605 Ikakalaka] weapon, and it can be stored on the robot's back which also can end up under the cockpit in jet mode if left place, or may be stored on the jet's top. It also features a non-removable fusion cannon on the right forearm. While the figure appears nearly black in promotional images, it's actually a metallic graphite gray with darker gunmetal gray paint applications. As with the other TLK Megatron figure, this one lacks the red facial "scar" from the film, but has red light piping in the eyes, forehead... and neck! The jet mode cockpit is also cast in transparent red. The port on the robot back/jet undercarriage is compatible with most figure flight stands. The jet mode lacks any sort of landing gear. There is a minor variant, in regards to the Decepticon symbol. While the stock photos and vast majority of the release feature the Decepticon symbol as it appears with its movie styling, some copies have been found sporting the traditional Decepticon logo, with the difference being in the eyes.

:Some stock photos depict Megatron's sword handle as being an unpainted red, however the final release and later stock photos have it the same color as the rest of the sword. The stock renders also depict the sword's bladed section and several body details being painted silver.

:The figure saw release in Japan as a Toys"R"Us exclusive. As with most Wave 2 Deluxes and Voyagers, Megatron's release was delayed in some territories, leading to [[scalping]] on the aftermarket.

:Part of the first wave of ''Premier Edition'' Leader Class figures, Megatron changes from Cybertronian jet to robot and back. He includes a large sword-axe which can store on his back in robot mode, and on the top of his jet in his vehicle form. In addition, he also comes with two flame effects which can plug into his turbine exhausts in jet mode or his arm-mounted fusion cannon in robot mode. On the back of his head there is a lever that can be pulled up to rotate a portion of his head, and close in the tusks to form his battle mask. In jet mode, he has an opening cockpit and his nosecone can be opened up to expose the fusion cannon by the push of a button right behind the cockpit. Because this action is spring-loaded and the two halves of the nosecone are made of soft plastic, it does not hold together well.

:Of all the Megatron toys above, this Leader Class figure bears the largest jet mode in the lineup.

**''ID Number:'' '''13'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-11'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[July 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories:'' "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Megatron is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms into a Cybertronian tank and is generally more accurate to his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen''. It features a flip-out sword for his [[death-lock pincer]] as well as side turrets for his tank mode (which weren't featured in the film itself, but found on many promotional images of his alt mode). The figure also includes a cardboard backdrop depicting the climatic forest battle in ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:A common problem faced by this mold is the easy-to-fall-off lower rear leg panels (which is due to the short molded pegs), which remove themselves from the figure at almost any slight provocation. Another complaint about this mold is that, due to transformation, Megatron is left with a glaringly hollow robot mode if viewed straight-on from the sides; this problem can be somewhat rectified by gently forcing the turrets downward.

:While some [[Toy Fair]] [[Toy Fair 2018|2018]] painted samples show Megatron with a dark, metallic color scheme, the final product features light grey plastic. Likewise, the CG stock render depicts Megatron having brighter & dull gold parts instead of the final product's bronze, and his pair of turrets is depicted as being molded in black paint.

:Unsurprisingly, the [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/archive/1/16/20180531120445%21StudioSeries-13-MV2-Voyager-Megatron.jpg stock photo] featured on many websites isn't fully transformed in the feet (making them look long and flat). As shown in the accurately-transformed figure to the right, his toes have the capability to split in two, the back half of the foot must be folded down for accuracy, and the kibble that forms his face-guard in tank mode helps balance the feet out. Speaking of feet: the small wheel on Megatron's right foot in the CG stock render is molded in the same light gray color, while his left foot's wheel is molded in the same color as the treads.

:This ''Studio Series'' Megatron is an all-new Leader Class mold that transforms into a Mack M915 Line-Haul Replacement Tractor and is accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'' complete with a new cloak accessory and chains. He also comes with a shotgun, a minifigure of [[Igor]], and a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Decepticon camp in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]]. For some reason, the Hasbro stock photos includes [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire's]] cane, yet Jetfire's photos did not. Additionally, the Igor figure can plug into small pegs behind his head in robot mode.

:Care should be taken when tabbing in his shotgun to his hand as the gunmetal paint on the handle can chip or rub off. The shotgun is actually molded in beige plastic and then completely coated with gunmetal and silver paint for increased screen-accuracy.

:It can be difficult to get enough clearance in truck mode for the cab's rear wheels to roll freely, as the chest pieces hang very low to the ground when in alternate mode. In addition, due to the sheer length of the truck mode and the internal forces from plastic tolerances, it can be difficult to get all ten wheels on the ground at once.

:The rubber chains take a bit of stretching to properly attach. Some orientations are easier to hook on than others, and the order of operations can also make it easier or harder to get all four eyelets hooked in place. As a result of the transformation, the truck cab is noticeably hollow, and cannot pivot at the trailer connection.

[[File:Movie-Edition-Tiny-Turbo-Changers-Series-4-Megatron.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*'''Megatron''' (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2018)
**''Series'' '''4'''
**''Bag Code'': '''N'''
:Released in Series 4 of [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Megatron is a new mold based off his appearance in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and as such changes into a (very) rough interpretation of his Cybertronian tank alternate form. He features articulation in his cannon arm, but not his standard arm. His torso features a hinge through the top of his torso that is not used in his transformation and allows his whole upper body to split in half, but otherwise has no purpose.

*'''Megatron''' (Power Series, 2018)
:Standing at approximately 5-inches, ''Bumblebee'' Power Megatron shares an identical design to his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body, therefore transforming into a Cybertronian tank. As with other Power figures, he can interact with the Cores of larger Energon Igniters toys.

:The stock photography has him mistransformed: His legs are not straightened.

:This was retooled into [[Blitzwing (BB)#Bumblebee|Blitzwing]].

*'''Megatron''' ([[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''MPM-8'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MPM-8'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''TBA'''
**''Accessories'': [[Fusion cannon]], chain whip, [[AllSpark#Masterpiece Movie Series|AllSpark]], chest piece, left and right hand

:This new [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece Movie Series'']] figure of Megatron is all-new complex film-accurate mold, and for the first time in ''years'' is based on his appearance in the 2007 film rather than the sequels. He transforms into a cybertronian jet as seen in the first film, and further representing that form, either of his hands can be detached for the included chain whip to mount between the wrist and base of the palm. Both hands can also detach for the fusion cannon barrel to mount on the wrists and the barrel can transform into a handheld rifle that he can wield. To implicate his death scene, a panel in the center of his chest can be removed to place the included mini AllSpark cube inside his torso.

:In terms of height, Megatron stood a bit shorter than [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MasterpieceMegs|MP-5]] in Robot Mode, standing slightly shorter than a ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'' [[Combiner]]. Additionally, it means he's one of the largest single piece non-titan class figures ever made.

==Merchandise==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Lunchables====
* '''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.

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]]

**''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.

====Robot Replicas====

*'''Megatron''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Fusion Cannon
: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''' (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.

*'''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.

*'''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".

:The second mold, sharing no parts with the first release. His right arm has transformed into the [[mace|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". Sadly, he is only articulated at the neck and LEFT shoulder, denying the world adorable flail bonking. He was packaged with Jazz.

:''Dropkick is a [[Decepticon]] and also a bunch of mass-produced [[Drone Unit (Movie)|drones]] used by both sides from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:DropkickConceptArt.jpg|thumb|250px|This planet is too loud. I'm hungry. I wish I was on Cybertron playing simultronics. My feet hurt.]]

'''Dropkick''' really doesn't like being on [[Earth]], but [[Shatter]] made him come. If he had his way, he'd be back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] right now, sitting alone in the dark and feeling angry. He doesn't really "get" why folks are so interested in the [[AllSpark]] or why the [[Autobot]]s like [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] are making things so hard for him, and he thinks having to pretend to work with [[Sector Seven|the humans]] is humiliating... but at least once the [[Decepticon]]s get what they want, he'll have plenty of things to blow up and humans to liquefy.

[[Transformers The Game|Sometimes]] there are lots of him. On both sides.

==Fiction==
===Movies===
{{note|The six movies are the primary component of the live-action movie continuity family. Their events should be taken as canon for all other pieces of fiction listed below, unless otherwise specified.}}
====''Bumblebee'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Justin Theroux]] (English)|[[Simone D'Andrea]] (Italian)}}

[[File:BumblebeeMovie Dropkick.jpg|thumb|220px|Ha! Suck it [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]! I got to be in a movie before you!]]
Long ago, Dropkick was among the Decepticons under the command of [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in their conquest for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s absence. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was attacked by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], Dropkick and the other Decepticons closed in to attack the Autobot leader. Following the apparent failure of the Autobot resistance effort, Dropkick was paired with [[Shatter]] and the two began hunting Autobots who escaped the planet.

By [[1987]], Dropkick assisted Shatter in following Autobot lieutenant [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] to one of [[Saturn]]'s moons, where they tortured him in an attempt to learn the whereabouts of Optimus Prime. Though the Autobot refused to co-operate, they received a signal from Autobot scout [[Bumblebee (Movie)|B-127]] on the nearby planet [[Earth]], prompting the pair to change course for the planet, but not before Dropkick vertically bisected Cliffjumper, killing him instantaneously.

Upon their arrival near a trailer park, Dropkick acquired a muscle car [[alternate mode]] and killed [[Roy (BB)|a random human]], expressing his disappointment with the primitive indigenous species yet admired the way they could be disposed of. The two then headed towards the West Coast in the direction of B-127's signal, with Dropkick picking up a {{w|Bell AH-1 SuperCobra}} alt mode whilst driving through Texas. They were then intercepted by Agent [[Jack Burns]] and his team of [[Sector Seven]] agents, accompanied by [[Dr. Powell]]. Dropkick wanted to dispose of the humans when Shatter came up with the idea of them masquerading as a "Decepticon peacekeeping patrol" pursuing the "dangerous escaped criminal" B-127, which he begrudgingly went along with. The Decepticons were escorted to a Sector Seven outpost and given limited access to their satellites, thus creating [[Internet|a global system of interconnected computer networks]] to track B-127.

A brief [[Energon]] surge in [[California]] attracted the Decepticons' attention, and they accompanied Sector Seven in capturing B-127, now calling himself "Bumblebee". Dropkick tortured Bumblebee to find out Prime's location, when he accidentally triggered a video message from the Autobot leader revealing his plans to retreat to Earth from Cybertron. Before departing to inform their comrades on Cybertron of this information via a radio tower at a nearby harbor, Dropkick killed Powell (who overheard their conversation and informed Burns of the Decepticons' true colors) and left the critically injured Bumblebee for dead.

While Shatter was busy transmitting the message to Cybertron, Bumblebee appeared and opened fire on the radio tower, provoking Dropkick to engage the scout. During their fight, Bumblebee's [[Charlie Watson|human friend]] sneaked her way towards the radio tower. Once Bumblebee gained the upper hand, Dropkick assumed his helicopter mode only for his propeller to become ensnared in a discarded chain wielded by Bumblebee. Dropkick transformed into robot mode in a failed attempt to escape, further tangling himself in the chain. Whilst mocking Bumblebee as to whether the chain could hold him, the Autobot pulled on the chain before he could finish, thus tearing Dropkick apart before exploding. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}
{{note|Dropkick's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel “[[Transformers: Bumblebee: The Junior Novel]]”.}}

===Titan movie comic===
{{notetitantlg}}
[[Image:Titan9_Dropkick.JPG|right|200px|thumb|In Soviet Russia, You want Dropkick. Here, DROPKICK WANTS '''YOU'''!]]

Dropkick was Megatron's right-hand man in the occupation of [[Earth]]. The other Decepticons heard Megatron's orders through him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}}

Having gone ''way'' down in the world after Starscream seized command, he ended up acting as "escort" to ensure [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] would leave human areas. In a final "up yours", Bumblebee led Dropkick in a high-speed chase which saw the Decepticon damaged and humiliated. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Dropkickincineratorscanningalliance3.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.5|left|It looks like he's scanning that truck. But he's actually crying all over it.]]
[[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] dispatched Dropkick and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] to [[Florida]], where they completely destroyed an American military base before scanning suitable Earth forms. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}} Their victory was short-lived, as soon afterwards, the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and their [[human]] allies tracked the Decepticons down and systematically destroyed them one by one. Dropkick was defeated by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and was finished off by [[NEST]] soldiers. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Dropkick was one of a number of Decepticons who responded to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s signal and came to Earth. He admired the alternate form he'd chosen for its primitive elegance. After Starscream enlisted the help of the [[Human Accessory Force]], Dropkick helped them raid a [[Zambia]]n dam construction site, confronting [[Ghiwa|Major Ghiwa]], whom he was disappointed to realize was not armed, and therefore not much sport. He tried to do a trick with a piece of fencing to entrap the Major, but it didn't work as he'd hoped.

When Autobots responded to the Decepticon activities, Dropkick, [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] lured them into the Zambezi River. Dropkick attempted to keep Ratchet distracted as they were pulled downstream towards Victoria Falls, but the plan didn't work as well as hoped, and he retreated with a damaged arm. The Decepticon trio next went to cause havoc at Kariba dam. The Autobots, however, followed them. Optimus rammed Macerator and Dropkick, the latter of whom found himself wrestling with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. After Macerator was terminated by Optimus, and Payload was lost in the waters released from the dam, Starscream ordered Dropkick to retreat. Dropkick fled, though not without being stung by [[Kaminari Ishihara]]'s [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] gun. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

==Games==
===''Transformers: The Game'' (console)===
[[Image:Dropkick-gamedrone.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Hey, who let this guy have a new name?! What the hell?]]
Hordes of identical Dropkick units are used by both the Autobot and Decepticon armies. Decepticons are blue like Blowpipe with a lens-face, while Autobot versions are red like Salvage and have a facemask with individual optics. They are protected from most artillery by energy shields in robot mode ([[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout's]] EMP bombs can penetrate the shields & damages them easily), and are fond of throwing stuff at foes rather than getting in with melee attacks.

Dropkicks are most commonly found in [[Tranquility|urban missions]], but pop up for certain sub-missions in other areas as well. {{Storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}

===''Battle for the Allspark''===
{{note|Dropkick was used as the basis for a chassis available to players as their combatant for the ''Battle for the Allspark'' game. Units using this body came in two variations. Autobot-aligned units had a helmet and facemask that vaguely resembled Optimus Prime, while the Decepticon-aligned units had the single-lens design seen in other film-related media.}}
[[Image:Dropkick head.jpg|thumb|left|Dropkick units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom). Both feel nobody understands them.]]

*'''Dropkick''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Claw/plier weapon
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-18'''

: Dropkick transforms into a customized {{w|Chevrolet Silverado}} pickup truck (or a similar model just different enough to avoid paying a licensing fee). His hood and roof feature a fairly cleverly done gigantic Decepticon symbol. His flatbed cover conceals a giant claw/plier deployed from the tailgate by a sliding knob on top. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode. He also has (non-firing) twin blasters on the underside of each forearm in robot mode.

: Unlike most of the other "drone" toys, Dropkick does not use the Decepticon "lens-face", instead going with a new, more complicated face design with a visor. (It is ''not'' the Autobot face from the game, but it is similar.)

:This mold was later [[redeco]]ed as the Autobot [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Blowpipe (ROTF)|Blowpipe]].

As with other Power Series figures, he can interact with the Cores of larger Energon Igniters toys. Note that his stock photography is slightly mistransformed, with the arms not completely tabbed in for vehicle mode.

Similar to [[Drift (AOE)#Toys|his fellow]] [[Shatter#Toys|triple changers]], he only transforms into ''two'' of his three modes. Dropkick's robot mode has knee accents to imitate car taillights and the back "wings" to imitate car doors, but otherwise his car kibble in robot mode is missing, making this one of the less screen-accurate ''Studio Series'' toys.

:Released later in the ''Studio Series'' line, Deluxe Class Dropkick transforms into his 1973 AMC Javelin muscle car alternate mode in ''36'' steps. His robot mode is based on his initial appearance in the film where he had only a car mode after arriving to Earth, unlike [[Shatter#Studio Series|Shatter]], who appears to be more based on her Triple Changer design.

[[Image:DropkickWipers.jpg|thumb|right|100px|I'm angsty because my [[gimmick]] sucks.]]
* Dropkick's card art shows him with windshield wipers on his visor. They are probably to wipe away his tears.
* Dropkick appears on several covers for [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'' comic despite not actually appearing in the story itself.
* ''Bumblebee'' Dropkick was, admittedly, probably not conceived as being the same guy as "Movie" Dropkick, what with the latter being a toyline-only nobody whose most notable role was as a bunch of identical drones. Whether through coincidence or otherwise, though, they're both portrayed as blue Decepticon grunts who grumble and moan about being on Earth. Therefore, we're considering them to be the same character!
*Even if briefly, Dropkick is one of the few Transformers from the live action film series who seems to have the ability of flight in robot mode.

:''Cliffjumper is an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:ReignofStarscream3 Cliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"...But if we wind up in Carbombya, I quit."]]
Surly, impatient, loud, and brash, '''Cliffjumper''' is an Autobot who shoots first and asks questions much, much later. The only intelligence he's patient enough to gather is "[[Decepticon]]s were here, and now they're dead." Despite his surly and impetuous nature, however, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] seems to like him. He's short in stature much like 'Bee, but that never gets in the way of him provoking his enemies and taking the first shot in battle.

==Fiction==
===Movies===
{{note|The six movies are the primary component of the live-action movie continuity family. Their events should be taken as canon for all other pieces of fiction listed below, unless otherwise specified.}}
====''Bumblebee'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Andrew Morgado]] (English)}}
Cliffjumper was fighting the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] with the rest of the [[Autobot|Autobots]] when [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] told them to fall back to the escape pods. Many years later, hunters [[Shatter]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] find him on one of [[Saturn|Saturn's]] moons and interrogate him for Optimus Prime's whereabouts. They become restless after his many attempts to remain silent. Before Dropkick can deliver the final strike, he manages to catch [[Bumblebee (Movie)|B-127's]] signal from [[Earth]]. They decide to go after B-127 instead, but not before Dropkick kills him by vertical bisection.
{{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[File:Defiance1 Cliffjumper Bumblebee.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"Ya-ya know? I like you Bumblebee. I think you are alright" *hic*]]

Many, many years ago, Cliffjumper and his look-alike [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] guarded the [[AllSpark]] at [[Simfur]] from nothing in particular. Cliffjumper tried to get his bored friend to calm down when the yellow guy got anxious from just sitting around. Cliffjumper pointed out that, even though they were [[Defense Force]] material, they'd be just as bored in the Defense Force, just doing patrols. If anything, they should relax and let the action come to them.

Cliffjumper rather regretted his words, as [[Ejoornian|hostile aliens]] attacked Cybertron, and the pair were quickly pinned down under heavy fire. Relief finally came in the form of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], who quickly [[Slag (slang)|slagged]] several of the attacking craft. Megatron proceeded to berate the two Autobots for not doing a better job and not taking the fight to the enemy, but received a bad wound from the attackers. When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived, Megatron told him to keep [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s team out of their way. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the battle, a panicky Bumblebee knew something ''big'' was coming, though Cliffjumper thought that they wouldn't have anything to do with it anyway, as they're only supposed to stand guard at the [[Simfur Temple|temple]]. [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] came to investigate the attack on the temple, and Cliffjumper reported that they didn't notice any unusual activity from the AllSpark during the battle. Later, presumably all the security personnel were present at the meeting where Optimus asked them not to follow Megatron into war. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

After Megatron discovered that Optimus, Prowl and Jazz had been snooping about in his quarters, he sent Cliffjumper and Bumblebee along with other expendable security officers under Prowl's command to arrest Optimus on trumped-up charges of treason. What the officers didn't know was they were all marked for death, and on the trip to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], the group was attacked by soldiers loyal to Megatron. The group managed to escape to [[Burthov]] while Optimus stayed behind long enough to defeat the would-be assassins. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

In the wastes of Burthov, Cliffjumper got the drop on the disenfranchised solder [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who had quit Megatron's army in disgust. A brief standoff ensued where Ironhide was confident that his abundant weaponry would ensure Cliffjumper would not harm him, but the younger 'bot noted the cannons were all Ironhide had, and suddenly, his confederates sprung out of the ground to surround the old soldier. Ironhide wasn't in the mood to fight anyway, so the rebels took him to see Optimus '''Prime'''. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} Cliffjumper was in a crowd of Autobots waiting for Optimus Prime's orders after the Decepticons launched the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' into space. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Sometime later, with the war reaching its peak, Optimus Prime made the decision to capture the AllSpark and launch it into deep space, hopefully sparing Cybertron further devastation and giving his Autobots the breathing room they required. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}} Cliffjumper was a crew member of [[Ark (Movie)|Optimus's starship]] when it left Cybertron in pursuit of the AllSpark. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

Cliffjumper had returned to Cybertron some time before the year [[1908]], where he participated in a mission to steal [[energon]] from the now Decepticon-controlled Trypticon. His team was ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]'s troops, and though Cliffjumper himself was shot in the chest by Shockwave, he lived to retreat and regroup. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream3 Cliffjumper hyah.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hyoh!]]

After the death of Megatron and the destruction of the AllSpark, Cliffjumper was part of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] under the command of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. Together with his teammates, he attacked the Starscream's landed Decepticon starship. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} Cliffjumper and the others made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones that the Decepticons sent against them, but were unprepared for [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]'s sonic weaponry. Cliffjumper and [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] attempted to provide cover for [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] to evacuate the fallen [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]], but Thundercracker killed Camshaft and wounded Cliffjumper. Saved from certain doom by Arcee, Cliffjumper turned the tides on the Decepticon, only to be shot in the back by Starscream. Arcee attempted to evacuate her wounded comrade, but was struck down by Starscream instead, leaving Cliffjumper's future looking grim. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} However, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] only found two dead Autobots and not four so he may have gotten better! {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

{{note|Unlike the other Autobots who were clearly shown to have been killed, Cliffjumper's status was ambiguous in the actual fiction. [[Chris Mowry]] says he survived, however.<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage168039</ref> [[John Barber]] sneakily alluded to it years later for "Convergence".}}

===Toy bios===
[[File:Cliffjumpermoviepackagingart.jpg|thumb|Like [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]], but sooner.]]
The Autobots depend on the brazen Cliffjumper to make the more collected of their enemies so angry that they mess up their own plans. At one point, Cliffjumper targeted [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], who—while physically Cliffjumper's equal or better—became extremely annoyed by the fact he could not match Cliffjumper's skill at insults. {{storylink|#Legends class toys|Cliffjumper Vs Recon Barricade}}

If [[Dead End (ROTF)|Dead End]] and Cliffjumper weren't on opposite sides, they would get along swimmingly—because they're both dysfunctional jerks. As it happens, the extent of their interpersonal relationship involves Dead End trying to creep the short-tempered Cliffjumper out, which typically ends with Dead End getting punched in the face. {{storylink|#Titanium Series|Cliffjumper and Dead End}}

His [[alternate mode]] is a fully licensed 1976 Chevrolet Camaro cast in red plastic with silver racing stripes on his hood. As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' assortment, he came packed with Legends Class [[Barricade (Movie)|Recon Barricade]], a redeco of the previously released Legends Class Barricade. Even though the packaging for the two-pack features the same elements as the ''[[AllSpark Power]]'' [[subline imprint]], the packaging doesn't explicitly identify it as part of ''AllSpark Power''.

[[File:Movie Cliffjumper Deluxe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|First is yellow, now is red, next is [[Bug Bite (G1)|white!]]]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Blaster cannon/blade

:As part of the ''[[AllSpark Power]]'' refresh of the movie toyline, Cliffjumper is once again a red and silver Bumblebee redeco, this time of the Deluxe Camaro Concept Bumblebee toy and, naturally, transforms into the {{w|Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro}}. He features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into [[robot mode]] position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action.

: Cliffjumper comes with a plasma cannon that he can hold in either hand. For added play value, the cannon can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Cliffjumper's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the red pieces on the back of Cliffjumper's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, and they have ''not'' been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design for Bumblebee.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: Part of the fourth wave of [[Cyber Slammers]] toys, Cliffjumper is (natch) a redeco of the concept-Camaro Cyber Slammer Bumblebee. He has motorized action: When you push down on the car, it zooms forward and slowly pops into robot mode!

===Bumblebee===
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Speed Series, 2018)

:Speed Series Cliffjumper is a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Energon Igniters|Bumblebee]], transforming from robot into a licensed Volkswagen Beetle in just a few steps, and he features 3 mm compatible hands. Cliffjumper can also be attached to the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly. As the port is 5 mm compatible, Cliffjumper can mount other weapons with the same post size, making him an efficient weapon-towing vehicle. Due to being used for transformation, he features a pair of well-articulated legs, as long you don't mind the Energon Igniters port sticking out from his left knee. As with Bumblebee, Cliffjumper doesn't have any Autobot insignias tampographed or sculpted on.

:As a redeco, Cliffjumper's toy is inaccurate to his brief appearance in the movie, and instead continues the legacy from his 2008 toy.

===3D Battle-Card Game===
[[File:3DCard-Cliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He'd have jumped that cliff if he hadn't swerved.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (3D Battle-Card, 2007)
**''Card number'': '''2'''

: Cliffjumper is a 31-point "Common" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his car mode (resembling a BMW Z4) or into a rather stumpy robot mode. One of his blaster-weapons is held in his right hand, the other can mount on either shoulder.

: He uses the same construction as the [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] cards. This style is similar to the one used by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], [[Earth]]-mode [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and [[Swerve (Movie)|Swerve]].

: Amusingly enough, Cliffjumper's 3D card [[robot mode]] is clearly designed after ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], though with a few movie-aesthetic concessions thrown in, mostly in the look of the feet. It's ''exceedingly'' likely the names of the two cards got mixed up, as card-game Swerve bears more than a passing resemblance to Bumblebee (and by extension, ''every other version'' of movie Cliffjumper).

:His card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

===Robot Heroes===
[[File:Movie RobotHeroes BestBuy Cliffjumper OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Dance, red boy, DANCE!]]
*'''Cliffjumper and Optimus Prime''' (Robot Heroes, 2007)

: ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' Cliffjumper is a redeco of the first-wave Bumblebee figurine, a non-transforming, super-cute rendition of the character. Originally [[exclusive]] to the Best Buy USA release of the [[Transformers (film)/home video|movie DVD release]], along with a battle-damaged version of ''Robot Heroes'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Cliffjumper later saw a wider release as part of the 2009 [[blindpacking|blind-packed]] series of ''Robot Heroes''.

**''Accessories'': Autobot symbol display stand

: A red and black redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Titanium Series|Bumblebee]] (in his '76 Camaro form), ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Cliffjumper is a non-transforming figurine made of plastic and [[die-cast]] metal. He is sculpted wielding a forearm-mounted weapon, and has articulation in his shoulders, neck and waist. Oh, and he comes with a movie-style Autobot logo base to stand on.

: He was only available in a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack with [[Dead End (ROTF)#Titanium Series|Dead End]].

==Notes==
[[File:MovieCGCliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|One bee, two bee, red bee, blue bee.]]
* An early [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] test animatic (first seen in Circuit City-exclusive web content, later in the "bonus" section of the official movie website) of Bumblebee in battle had 'Bee facing off against [[Stinger (AOE)|a red doppelganger]]. Hmmmm.
* With three toys, a [[Titanium Series|Titanium]] figurine, a [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] figurine, and a Battle-Card, Cliffjumper has '''by far''' the most merchandise for a ''Transformers'' movie character not actually appearing IN the film. However, the increased popularity of Bumblebee prevented any further Cliffjumper redecos of Bumblebee toys from the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' lines (with the exception of the ''Titanium'' figure), leading instead to a slew of increasingly insane same-character-in-slightly-varied-colors redecos of Bumblebee. Cliffjumper would eventually make his on-screen debut in the ''Bumblebee'' film.
* Furthermore, between his various toys, he shares two different Camaro [[alternate mode]]s with Bumblebee. Is this supposed to imply that in a toy-only [[micro-continuity]], he undergoes ''exactly'' the same upgrade from a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro into a modern Camaro concept vehicle?
* Cover A of [[The Reign of Starscream issue 5]] by [[Alex Milne]] depicts Cliffjumper among the Autobots in an Earth mode body based on his Deluxe Class toy, despite the fact he never made it to Earth and doesn't even appear in this issue.
* Cliffjumper's design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by his Generation 1 [[Cliffjumper (G1)|namesake]].

== Multiple account abuser ==

A not exactly subtle case: [[Special:Contributions/Transformers1001|Transformers1001]] and [[Special:Contributions/TransformersFan1001|TransformersFan1001]]. The two accounts were created the exact same day, make very similar edits (i.e. the kind that have to keep getting reverted), and are never active at the same time. Note that when one account stops making edits, the other starts. Would you please take care of them? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:38, 20 May 2018 (EDT)

== Vandalist? ==

[[User:Polar Prime 12]] keeps copy and pasting a poor fiction section for [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)]] based on his bio. They have been told many times to stop, and their edits are reverted, yet they insist on having their summary on the page. Can you give them a penalty? [[User:Notirishman|notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 19:32, 13 July 2018 (EDT)
:For now, I have dropped an explanation on their talk page as it's more obvious for them to see than the page edit history.

== Cyberverse ==

Could you please unlock the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse cartoon]] article? Locking it made sense months ago when we didn't know anything and wanted to prevent vandalism, but now that we're only a few months from launch and details are actually starting to emerge, it makes more sense to re-open it for editing so we can keep up with any new information. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 15:01, 25 July 2018 (EDT)

== Ruined Forever update (NOT content-related) ==

I've been working on updating instances of inter-wiki linking to remove bare URLs and use the current preferred templates, and I realized there's a few spots on [[Ruined FOREVER]] that need to be brought up to date. I'm not changing any of the content, but I have put together a new draft in my [[User:Cyberlink420/sandbox-ruin|sandbox]] that uses our <nowiki>{{w}} and [[tvtropes]]</nowiki> templates, as well as fixing one of the links to redirect properly. Unfortunately I can't implement the changes myself since the page is locked; could you please copy-paste the draft onto the article when you get the chance? Thanks much. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:50, 24 August 2018 (EDT)
:I have updated the TVTropes link and the anchor on the Wikipedia like, but I don't see the point in changing perfectly good Wikipedia links to use a template instead. What's the advantage there? --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 18:57, 24 August 2018 (EDT)

== Scroll box template ==

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate the coding for [https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Scroll_box this template] to here? I want to try out a proposal. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 01:16, 4 November 2018 (EDT)

== What everybody lacks but me. ==

I was able to add in more information to the Transformers video games, more specifically, the NDS games for the 2007 & ROTF movies, the ROTF PSP game, and the Wii/PS2 version of the ROTF game. I even added in character pages for the Krome-exclusive NPCs, and the playable ROTF DS Transformers. Something that nobody, not even you, were never able to do, because I have the time & energy to do so, all because I did some heavy researching, and thorough analysis. [[User:StormJet|StormJet]] ([[User talk:StormJet|talk]]) 22:29, 5 November 2018 (EST)

:You really need to tone down that passive-aggressiveness. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 23:09, 5 November 2018 (EST)
::You're lucky, everything I did was unfairly removed. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 22:58, 5 November 2018 (EST)
::: From what I can see, you added a toy listing for something that was leaked, and the other one was an addition to the "many deaths of Optimus" page that wasn't really a death. Hardly unfair. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 23:09, 5 November 2018 (EST)
:::: It wasn't fair. If the toy wasn't real, I wouldn't have posted anything about it, but it was clearly real and a planned product. It wasn't like it was secret North Korean nuke codes or something, it was a prototype on display, clearly it was being revealed and confirmed. Later on, the same user who called me out later took the credit for himself, when I deserve the credit. I do not understand how that on "the many deaths of Optimus Prime" was wrong when 1. There's a couple of near death mentions on the page 2. The film really built it up like he was going to die and 3. It was the truth. It honestly doesn't end there, but I don't feel like digging it all up, but to make it short, I've been insulted, called a liar, etc. It really makes me think this place is highly elitist, hypocritical, and unwelcoming of newer users, which is why I'm leaving, but want to put my case to rest before I do. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 23:24, 5 November 2018 (EST)
::::: So you came to an entirely different conversation to bring up your, putting it kindly, imagined unfair treatment. Very mature. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 00:04, 6 November 2018 (EST)
::::: @MisterKenneth: I hope you'll understand that there are very good reasons why we don't list leaked toys here. It's because if we acknowledge the leaked toy, it will encourage further leaks in future, which is essentially encouraging people to break the law. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 00:12, 6 November 2018 (EST)
:::::: @Escargon You started by saying that what people did to me was fair. I simply joined in here to tell @Stormjet that he's lucky he was able to get that cool info in without somebody going after him, which wasn't the case for me. I didn't intend on saying anything else. @Abates I don't understand. How is it a leak if its a confirmed product? I saw people confirm that MPM-7 was a real product going to hit the shelves and online stores, so I have no idea how that's a leak and illegal. It's not like I collected that information from some shady spy in a dark alleyway, the image I uploaded of MPM-7 was from I believe either Seibertron or TFW2005, and I saw sources confirming MPM-7's existence. I was telling the truth. I didn't come here to spread lies, I'm not that kind of person. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 00:54, 6 November 2018 (EST)
:::::::That particular image that was uploaded was a leak, as you can see here: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/bumblebee-the-movie-masterpiece-movie-vw-beetle-bumblebee-prototype-figure-leaked/40982/ If someone has it displayed somewhere without making it clear that it's from a leak, then that's an error on their part, but we still can't have it on the Wiki. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 01:05, 6 November 2018 (EST)
:::::::: I most likely got that image and the info from here https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-movie-masterpiece-mpm7-volkswagen-bumblebee/41919/ this article proves the toys existence by going as far as to mention pre-order and release dates. They said that it may not have anything to do with the final toy, but after looking at images of the final toy, I can safely say it had everything to do with it. Would a "leak" as you call it have the kind information seen here? -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 01:17, 6 November 2018 (EST)
::::::::: "It exists" is ''not'' the concern here. The issue is: has it been officially announced? If ''no'', then it's a leak, no matter how "real" it is. - [[User:TBR|TBR]] ([[User talk:TBR|talk]]) 01:25, 6 November 2018 (EST)
:::::::::: Well, I guess there's not really much else I can say. With that said, I don't want to continue this discussion, so good day, or night depending on where you're at. @StormJet I apologize if what I said got your thing here derailed. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 01:37, 6 November 2018 (EST)

I'm not changing any of the content, but I have put together a new draft in my [[User:Cyberlink420/sandbox-ruin|sandbox]] that uses our <nowiki>{{w}} and [[tvtropes]]</nowiki> templates, as well as fixing one of the links to redirect properly.

== What everybody lacks but me. ==

I was able to add in more information to the Transformers video games, more specifically, the NDS games for the 2007 & ROTF movies, the ROTF PSP game, and the Wii/PS2 version of the ROTF game. I even added in character pages for the Krome-exclusive NPCs, and the playable ROTF DS Transformers. Something that nobody, not even you, were never able to do, because I have the time & energy to do so, all because I did some heavy researching, and thorough analysis.

:::: It wasn't fair. If the toy wasn't real, I wouldn't have posted anything about it, but it was clearly real and a planned product. It wasn't like it was secret North Korean nuke codes or something, it was a prototype on display, clearly it was being revealed and confirmed. Later on, the same user who called me out later took the credit for himself, when I deserve the credit. I do not understand how that on "the many deaths of Optimus Prime" was wrong when 1. There's a couple of near death mentions on the page 2. The film really built it up like he was going to die and 3. It was the truth. It honestly doesn't end there, but I don't feel like digging it all up, but to make it short, I've been insulted, called a liar, etc.

It really makes me think this place is highly elitist, hypocritical, and unwelcoming of newer users, which is why I'm leaving, but want to put my case to rest before I do. -[[User:MisterKenneth|MisterKenneth]] ([[User talk:MisterKenneth|talk]]) 23:24, 5 November 2018 (EST)

{{disambig3|Lockdown}}
:''Lockdown is a mercenary from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:AOE Lockdown walks.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5||In 2007, we were all pretty sure there would be a fourth live-action ''Transformers'' movie with Lockdown as the main villain.]]
Even the Decepticons are afraid of ''this'' guy, because once '''Lockdown''' has been hired to track down a subject, nothing stops him from completing his transaction short of total deactivation! Answering only to his enigmatic "[[Creator (AOE)|Creators]]", Lockdown holds himself above the Autobot/Decepticon war and sees both sides as squabbling children that he has to reign in personally. He doesn't think much higher of other civilized species across the galaxy (particularly humans), though isn't above working with them if it suits him.

Unfortunately for the [[Autobot]] medic, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is Lockdown's next target, and Lockdown, as always, has been paid handsomely for his destruction. He's also run afoul of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] previously, in some unspecified circumstance.<ref>Hasbro's website describes both Arcee and Ratchet as Lockdown's enemy on their respective pages, mirroring their relationship in ''Animated''.</ref>

Lockdown is a bounty hunter at heart. He always fulfills the contracts and missions he is assigned to as long as he is paid. He doesn't really care what he has to do in order to fulfill his contract, eager to destroy entire planets if it's necessary. His respect for other species is not too great either, sometimes mumbling about his own clients and speaking to them sarcastically. Lockdown's been known to loot weaponry from the foes he kills, so his armoury is constantly changing!<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 5.1]] bio: "The Lockdown on Lockdown" The spare parts is an ''Animated'' trait that was added in.</ref>

He trained [[Axor]] a long time ago, and the younger hunter has even ''rebuilt himself'' to better resemble Lockdown (though he denies it if you ask). He views his mentor as his closest comrade, which Lockdown has been willing to let him believe.<ref>Axor's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=841165f8-19b9-f369-1057-0b57c1e069b6 Battle Bio]</ref> ''His'' closest comrade is Megatron, because that's who's currently paying him, in [[energon star|energon chips]]!<ref>Lockdown's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=841165f8-19b9-f369-1057-0b57c1e069b6 Battle Bio.]</ref>

These days, a long scar runs down his face. There are many rumours about where it came from, some saying it was a run-in with Megatron, but nobody knows for sure...<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 5.1]] bio: "The Lockdown on Lockdown"</ref>

[[File:Aoe-lockdown-hook.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|I have a [[Lockdown (Animated)|hook]] now, happy?]]

Lockdown was tasked by the mysterious [[Creator (AOE)|Creators]] to capture all their rogue "knights." He spent centuries on the task, using a commandeered and converted [[Knight Ship|ship]] that had once belonged to the knights themselves as a mobile prison for containing and transporting his various captives. Eventually, he succeeded in capturing all of the knights save one—[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. To acquire this last prize, Lockdown travelled to [[Earth]] and joined forces with the human organization [[Cemetery Wind]], who were in the process of hunting and killing any surviving Cybertronians who had survived the battle of [[Chicago]]. In exchange for the safe apprehension of Prime, he promised [[Harold Attinger]] a [[Seed]], a device that could cyberform a massive area of land. Several years after the Battle of Chicago, Lockdown and Cemetery Wind located Optimus Prime in [[Mexico City]] and attacked; though Lockdown was able to grievously wound Prime, the human operatives failed to contain Prime, and he escaped and went into hiding.

Continuing to work with Cemetery Wind, Lockdown aided in the pursuit of [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], lurking in nearby waters and disabling the Autobot medic from afar with his head-cannon after the humans had crippled him. When Ratchet refused to divulge Optimus's location, Lockdown ripped his [[spark]] from his chest. Soon after, he met with Attinger on the hull of his ship to discuss their arrangements, where the bounty hunter expressed his disgust with [[human]]s and mused that none of the species he had worked with in his travels had really understood their place in the universe.

An anonymous tip from a [[Lucas Flannery|panicked civilian]] allowed Cemetery Wind to locate Optimus in at the home of [[Cade Yeager]] in [[Texas]]. Lockdown pulled up to a nearby baseball field and transformed, deploying his hook to clamber up a nearby grain silo. When Optimus revealed himself and began fighting back against Cemetery Wind's human operatives, Lockdown bombarded the Yeager homestead with a flurry of missiles, destroying it. Lockdown later pursued Prime across the highway, and eventually engaged Prime in battle on the roof of an abandoned factory. Prime managed to momentarily disable Lockdown by tossing him into a crane cable, allowing the Autobot leader to escape once again with his human allies; Lockdown freed himself in time to try and stop them with a grenade, but the only victim of its blast was [[Lucas Flannery]].

[[File:Lockdown gun face.gif|thumb|left|upright=1.67|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|GIVE ME YOUR]]- Err.. face-gun!]]

Later, after the Autobots stormed [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]], Optimus was battling [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]] when Lockdown ambushed Prime and took him and [[Tessa Yeager]] captive. After moving his ship over Chicago to deliver the promised Seed to Cemetery Wind, Lockdown locked Prime up with the other [[Dinobot (AOE)|Knights]] that he had captured, explaining to the defeated Autobot the origins of his ship and why the Creators wanted him. Unbeknownst to Lockdown, the other Autobots and humans had already boarded his ship in order to free Prime and Tessa; when [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] fired the ship's anchors in order to prevent it from taking off, the bounty hunter merely assumed one of his prisoners had broken free, and dispatched a pack of [[Steeljaw (AOE)|Steeljaws]] to deal with the problem. The beasts detached the anchors, and Lockdown took off into space, unaware that the Autobots had rescued Prime and stolen the section of his ship containing his prize trophy case.

[[File:LockdownDeath.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Half the hunter he used to be.]]
Discovering the truth part-way into his journey, the furious Lockdown ordered a return to Earth. Arriving in the midst of a battle between the Autobots and KSI drones in [[Hong Kong]], Lockdown utilized a magnetic weapon on his ship to wreak havoc on the city, but it was soon destroyed by Optimus. Lockdown descended to Hong Kong to battle him in person, leading to a vicious fight that saw Lockdown take the upper hand after Optimus diverted his attention save Cade Yeager from Attinger. Lockdown impaled Prime on his own [[sword]], mocking him for his choice to save the human, but before the bounty hunter could finish him, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Cade, Tessa and [[Shane Dyson]] all teamed up against him. Lockdown was able to dispatch Bumblebee, and then turned on Cade, but failed to notice that Shane and Tessa had freed Optimus. Optimus slew Lockdown by brutally bisecting him with his sword, and destroyed what remained of his body when he used one of Lockdown's grenades to finish off the remaining KSI drones.

And we thought Lockdown always fulfilled his contracts.

Lockdown was cruising the city streets when he was encountered by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], who had been alerted to Lockdown's presence by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] due to their "violent history". For blocks, Lockdown fled Ratchet silently as the Autobot fired his [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] blaster until he transformed into [[robot mode]] and expressed his frustration. Finally, when Ratchet's EMP blaster failed him, Lockdown transformed as well. He mocked Ratchet for never being able to best him, knocked him around, and when the Autobot had had enough, the Decepticon bounty hunter stole Ratchet's EMP blaster as a memento. As Lockdown sped away, he wondered if he could fix Ratchet's faulty weapon. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 3|Cyber Missions #3}}

Later, Lockdown managed to evade [[Diego Garcia]]'s security measures and sneak into Autobot Headquarters undetected. After cutting power to the facilities, he sneaked up behind [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] in the target practice range. Ratchet's EMP blaster, attached to Lockdown's arm, was now in proper working order, and the bounty hunter vowed to also take Sideswipe's new sidearms. Lockdown was shocked when the EMP blaster was shot off his arm and out of his reach by Ratchet. Wounded, the Decepticon fled. Unfortunately for Lockdown, he retreated to the medical bay, where Ratchet's surgical tools restrained and sedated him. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 7|Cyber Missions #7}}

Later, Lockdown and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] confronted [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Looking to steal one of Ironhide's weapons, Lockdown took a missile instead, which blew up in his face. The explosion damaged his optics, so he fled. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 11|Cyber Missions #11}}

[[File:Titan AOE Drif's crew.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|In the grim darkness of the recent past, there is only war!]]

Five years before the Battle of [[Chicago]],<ref>''Dark of the Moon'' has no explicit date but as Sam has graduated, it's set in 2012 at the earliest</ref> Lockdown was part of a three-Con team with [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] and [[Knucklehead]] on Cybertron. While Drift wanted to take an Autobot outpost with minimal bloodshed, Lockdown thought this was sissy hippy crap and they should just bomb everything (even though that would mean having no outpost to capture); when they sneaked instead, he disobeyed orders and decided to execute prisoners out of hand. Drift stopped him, giving a gleeful Lockdown the chance to claim the guy was a traitor and kill him off. Knucklehead and Drift sent him down into a molten moat, swearing revenge on them both. Of course, he couldn't actually kill them while Megatron was still in charge, or the big boss would be unhappy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

As well as being a Decepticon, Lockdown had a profitable sideline as a bounty hunter and hired killer. He claimed the bounty on the [[Coseem crime gang]]'s boss.{{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.4|Locked In!}}

With a [[Lockdown (ROTF)#Revenge of the Fallen|new body]], he went to Earth soon after and ended up captured by [[NEST]] under unknown circumstances... only to become part of [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]]'s 2010 jailbreak! He joined Bludgeon's splinter cell of Decepticons and took great pleasure in talking out all his "hurting" on [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} When the Autobots tracked down the Decepticon base in [[Russia]], Lockdown was ordered to prepare an ambush for them. He loyally served Bludgeon in this until Megatron arrived, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} and then he not-so-loyally ran away. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

Near the end of the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Battle of Chicago]], Lockdown (now back in his old body!) immediately murdered Knucklehead as soon as Megatron died. Drift, now an Autobot, found the corpse on the moon and knew the hunter had become more powerful than before. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

Lockdown soon took control of the remaining Decepticon forces on Earth but kept himself out of the limelight. He oversaw an ambush in [[Indonesia]]: three Decepticons would kill a few hundred humans, getting the predictable Autobots to give chase and be ambushed at an old [[Netherlands|Dutch]] fort. He watched as [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] didn’t rush in head on and wiped out his team, but the Autobots remained unaware he was around so ''he'' was alright! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.2|Thousand Island Fight}}

He later left Earth to make some more cash bounty-hunting but was tricked into capturing [[Sojex]], a Coseem hitwoman who took control of his ship and turned his own defences on him. He cut through them all and when attacked by [[scraplet]]s, he quietly [[water|dealt with them]] while using holograms to make Sojex think he was dead.

Some time during his stay on Earth, Lockdown tracked down the [[Dark Spark]] as it made its way toward the planet. The Autobots realized the destruction the relic could cause and moved to retrieve it, only to be stopped by the bounty hunter. Intercepting the Autobots, Lockdown grabbed the Dark Spark first and took it for himself. Despite Optimus Prime's pleas, Lockdown was more interested in the profit he could make from its power. As Prime attempted to tackle Lockdown and take the artifact, Lockdown activated its power and froze the Autobots in place long enough to escape.

Later, the Autobots attempted to infiltrate Lockdown's base but were unsuccessful. Drift was captured while Bumblebee escaped, but only long enough to find an alternate path to retrieve his colleague. Lockdown sent a titan after them to prevent their escape, but the Autobots were able to slip out and regroup.

Finally breaking into Lockdown's base, they discovered he had been using the power of the Dark Spark to create a time bridge to go back in time and prevent the Autobot's victory at the Battle of Chicago. In doing so, he would revive the war and with it his main source of income. Optimus once again pleaded to rethink, citing the destruction that Earth would have to endure if the war were to continue, but as usual Lockdown didn't care. Optimus once again tried to tackle Lockdown, who activated the Dark Spark's power again to stop him in mid-air. In true super villain fashion, Lockdown monologued his plan rather than do something about Prime, who was able to break free of the Dark Spark's power. The two fought to a standstill until Drift was able to move in and cut the Dark Spark from Lockdown's chest. Fumbling to catch it, Lockdown instead knocked it into Drift's hand long enough for Optimus to activate the Matrix of Leadership and blast it into the time bridge. Lockdown took the opportunity to escape, swearing that "this isn't the end". {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark (console)}}

===Revenge of the Fallen===
[[File:ROTF deluxe Lockdown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|[[Lockdown (Animated)|Almost identical]].]]
*'''Lockdown''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-26'''
**''Accessories'': Engine

:Lockdown's design strongly homages his [[Lockdown (Animated)|''Transformers Animated'' counterpart]], but with a completely different transformation. Once again, Lockdown transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. The toy's [[Mech Alive]] feature rotates cylinders inside his thighs as his lower legs rotate, and pneumatic cylinders extend as his [[Capture Hook]] is deployed.

:Lockdown may have the most articulated neck ever for a Transformer, having three ball joints and a swivel joint. Craziness.

:Similar to his ''Animated'' counterpart, Lockdown's arm-mounted hot rod engine weapon can be removed and can be replaced by ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s weapon. Likewise, Ratchet can store Lockdown's engine on his roof; it cannot, however, attach to his arm. Interestingly, the plug for Lockdown's engine is the same general shape as the plug for ''Animated'' Lockdown's EMP blaster/engine, but smaller; as such, it isn't compatible with ''Animated'' Lockdown, or with ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] or [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]], for that matter.

:Much like his Animated incarnation, he is much taller then other Deluxes, being almost Voyager-sized or larger.

:This mold was retooled to make [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010]] [[Axor]] as well as [[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|''Timelines'']] [[Circuit (Movie)|Circuit]]. This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[Lockdown (G1)|Lockdown]].

:Part of the third wave of ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'', Lockdown is a teeny little "road warrior"-ish car with a spring-loaded automatic transformation to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels.

: Lockdown's main car body, arms and legs are also used by ''Bot Shots'' [[Barricade (Movie)/toys|Barricade]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]], and [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]].

*'''Lockdown''' (Deluxe, 2014)
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''AD-26'''
**''Japanese Release Date:'' '''2014-[[July 19|07-19]]'''
**''Accessories'': Face-gun, Missile
:A new mold, Lockdown transforms into an officially licensed (in fact, the only licensed toy of Lockdown released in the ''Age of Extinction'' line) Lamborghini Aventador, and is decently articulated in [[robot mode]], with only the waist lacking articulation. He comes with a missile-firing blaster that can either be held using his hands (via 5mm posts), or attached to his head (via a peg on the gun) to simulate his "Sniper-Mode" from the ''Age of Extinction'' film. The blaster can also peg onto the top of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] via two additional pegs. His transformation shares similarities to Deluxe [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s. Take note that any weapons with longer posts cannot peg down through his hands, and making matters worst; His lower arm (painted silver) is a single piece that integrated on his car kibble.

:Takara Tomy's ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version of the figure replaces much of the robot mode's grey plastic with black, intending to create a more movie-accurate appearance.

:Amusingly, both of his toys from Hasbro and Takara are both mis-transformed. The Hasbro version has his shoulder cannons not properly transformed and his part of his right side of his body mis-transformed while the Takara has his legs and arms not properly transformed; however this gives him a much taller and less bulky look. He is somewhat inaccurate to his actual CGI appearance, and ironically unlike his predecessors, he is actually smaller than most other Deluxes his size due his smaller vehicle mode size.

:Lockdown was later extensively retooled as ''The Last Knight'' [[Hot Rod (DOTM)#Premiere|Hot Rod]].

[[File:AoE flip and change Lockdown.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Having an adequate Leader-sized Lockdown comes at the cost of having a messed up Lambo.]]
*'''Lockdown''' (Flip & Change, 2014)

:Part of the second wave of Flip & Change assortment, Lockdown is a simplified toy that can auto-transform from vehicle to robot by pulling out the arms first, and then flip the figure over itself. He features articulation on his arms, and features 5mm compatible hands.

:Lockdown shares the same transformation scheme with his fellow Flip & Changers Bumblebee and Drift. He was later retooled into [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]].

*'''Lockdown''' (One-Step Changers, 2014)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA09'''

:Similar to an Activators toy, Lockdown can transform into a robot by pressing a button on his vehicle mode. This version of him does ''not'' have a licensed Lamborghini Aventador car mode (No licensing information is printed on his packaging, nor does the car have a Lamborghini symbol). Oddly enough, Lockdown's entire back is sculpted with great detail, despite this not being visible without taking the toy apart. His only articulation is the hands, which they can only pivot up & down.

:After transforming into robot mode, Lockdown needs to transform back into vehicle in both steps: Push down the button again while clamping the vehicle parts together to make it secure.

:The Japanese release of Lockdown does away with the blue paint on his robot mode and car rear, and features black and metallic blue paint detail on his robot parts for slight extra screen-accuracy.

:Lockdown was later retooled into [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]].

: A roughly Deluxe sized version of Lockdown, he transforms into the same unlicensed Lamborghini Aventador lookalike as his other Robots In Disguise toy. Squeezing his legs triggers the firing gimmick on his back. [[:File:AoE Power Battler Lockdown.jpg|Promotional photographs of Power Battlers Lockdown]] featured paint applications on his left thigh/vehicle front bumper, but the final product left the thigh/bumper unpainted due to being molded in [[unpaintable plastic]].

:Surprisingly, aside from his kibble, he is proportionally more accurate to the CGI design of Lockdown than the Deluxe version (see above).

: The "[[Lockdown Air Raid]]" box set is centered around a large build of [[Knight Ship|Lockdown's ship]], and of course features its pilot in [[Kreon]] form. This version of Lockdown has a bared-teeth snarl and a new-mold helmet with a face-concealing flip-up visor attachment. While other visors will work with Lockdown's helmet, Lockdown's visor pretty much doesn't work with any other helmets.

He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. Unlike other Custom Kreons, he only has a single (opaque) helmet, but comes with [[chrome]]d and translucent versions of his flip-up visor, as well as an extra clear-plastic torso and legs, plus the "missile" backpack. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), a buildable "head gun" (though it cannot be pushed all the way down on the neck-peg as shown in his instructions) and a Klingon blaster rifle originally from the ''Star Trek Kre-O'' sets, enhanced with a small "technic" peg.

:This Lockdown is a new mold that matches the character's appearance in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' cartoon, which is in turn based on his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' design but with a vehicle mode inspired by the Lamborghini Aventador. In fact, he matches up with the Lockdown design unlocked in the ''Q-Transformers'' game by the ''previous'' toy. The "Yoroshikuu!" added to his name means, roughly, "Best regards!" (よろしくぅ!), though in Lockdown's case it's meant in a sarcastic manner used by stereotypical Japanese delinquents. This line is something of a catchphrase of Lockdown's in the ''Q-Transformers'' cartoon.

:In an undocumented feature, Lockdown's [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-chest]] is on a hinge, allowing his chest to not be quite as flat as it comes in-package.

Given there were a few wholesale deco changes between ''RPMs'' and ''Speed Stars'' within series, it's possible that Lockdown's place in the Stunticons was taken by Axor/Axel... but considering that ALL of these items seem to be canceled, it's impossible to say for certain.

==Notes==
*The head on ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Lockdown's instruction lineart is actually that of his retool, [[Axor]]. The head can be seen in much clearer detail on page 8 of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[Hasbro Design Sketchbook]], volume 2.
*In reference to his ''[[Lockdown (Animated)|Animated]]'' counterpart, Lockdown's ''Age of Extinction'' incarnation has the ability to transform his hands into various weapons, such as the famous hook, a blaster, a spark extractor device, and even his chainsaw-hand. He can also turn his head into a sniper rifle-esque cannon, lending credence to the fact that he's probably been building on himself like his original incarnation. Some concept art also showed him characteristically taking and equipping Ratchet's saw after he had terminated the Autobot.
*Early concept art for Lockdown indicates that at one point he would have hewed closer to his original ''Animated'' design; not only would he have sported a green-and-black color scheme and a tattered "poncho",<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/1/10492031_823531154338867_8013560203166570203_n_1404766373.jpg Concept art for Lockdown's robot mode</ref> he would also have transformed into a weatherbeaten muscle car with an exposed engine block.<ref>http://www.flickr.com/photos/69016045@N00/14607949853/ Concept art for Lockdown's vehicle mode</ref> Presumably, his [[alternate mode]] and design were altered so that Lamborghini could [[To sell toys|advertise their new sports cars]].
*Two proposed [[Fun Publications]] [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]]s were a redeco of [[#Revenge of the Fallen|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Lockdown]] into "Marlboor Wheeljack" (conceived prior to [[Exhaust]] receiving his name from Takara) and a ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' version of [[Stranglehold]] using the [[Axor]] tooling (and would have had a mustache!).<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>
*According to Hasbro's website, Lockdown has done work for the Decepticons and is paid in energy chips. The website also states that the Deceptions owe Lockdown a hefty sum that they have yet to pay up on.

MisterKenneth: Even though he wasn't really a Decepticon in the movie, his Deluxe figures does considers him one.

:''Lockdown is a mercenary from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:AOE Lockdown walks.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5||In 2007, we were all pretty sure there would be a fourth live-action ''Transformers'' movie with Lockdown as the main villain.]]
Even the Decepticons are afraid of ''this'' guy, because once '''Lockdown''' has been hired to track down a subject, nothing stops him from completing his transaction short of total deactivation! Answering only to his enigmatic "[[Creator (AOE)|Creators]]", Lockdown holds himself above the Autobot/Decepticon war and sees both sides as squabbling children that he has to reign in personally. He doesn't think much higher of other civilized species across the galaxy (particularly humans), though isn't above working with them if it suits him.

Unfortunately for the [[Autobot]] medic, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] is Lockdown's next target, and Lockdown, as always, has been paid handsomely for his destruction. He's also run afoul of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] previously, in some unspecified circumstance.<ref>Hasbro's website describes both Arcee and Ratchet as Lockdown's enemy on their respective pages, mirroring their relationship in ''Animated''.</ref>

Lockdown is a bounty hunter at heart. He always fulfills the contracts and missions he is assigned to as long as he is paid. He doesn't really care what he has to do in order to fulfill his contract, eager to destroy entire planets if it's necessary. His respect for other species is not too great either, sometimes mumbling about his own clients and speaking to them sarcastically. Lockdown's been known to loot weaponry from the foes he kills, so his armoury is constantly changing!<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 5.1]] bio: "The Lockdown on Lockdown" The spare parts is an ''Animated'' trait that was added in.</ref>

He trained [[Axor]] a long time ago, and the younger hunter has even ''rebuilt himself'' to better resemble Lockdown (though he denies it if you ask). He views his mentor as his closest comrade, which Lockdown has been willing to let him believe.<ref>Axor's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=841165f8-19b9-f369-1057-0b57c1e069b6 Battle Bio]</ref> ''His'' closest comrade is Megatron, because that's who's currently paying him, in [[energon star|energon chips]]!<ref>Lockdown's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=841165f8-19b9-f369-1057-0b57c1e069b6 Battle Bio.]</ref>

These days, a long scar runs down his face. There are many rumours about where it came from, some saying it was a run-in with Megatron, but nobody knows for sure...<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 5.1]] bio: "The Lockdown on Lockdown"</ref>

==Fiction==
===''Age of Extinction'' film===
{{voiceactor|[[Mark Ryan]] (English), [[Tsutomu Isobe]] (Japanese)|[[Zhao Xiaoming]] (Chinese), [[Carlos Segundo]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Emmanuel Jacomy]] (French), [[René Gagnon]] (Canadian French), [[Rodolfo Bianchi]] (Italian)}}
{{quote|We all work for someone.|Lockdown to Optimus}}
[[File:Aoe-lockdown-hook.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95|I have a [[Lockdown (Animated)|hook]] now, happy?]]

Lockdown was tasked by the mysterious [[Creator (AOE)|Creators]] to capture all their rogue "knights." He spent centuries on the task, using a commandeered and converted [[Knight Ship|ship]] that had once belonged to the knights themselves as a mobile prison for containing and transporting his various captives. Eventually, he succeeded in capturing all of the knights save one—[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. To acquire this last prize, Lockdown travelled to [[Earth]] and joined forces with the human organization [[Cemetery Wind]], who were in the process of hunting and killing any surviving Cybertronians who had survived the battle of [[Chicago]]. In exchange for the safe apprehension of Prime, he promised [[Harold Attinger]] a [[Seed]], a device that could cyberform a massive area of land. Several years after the Battle of Chicago, Lockdown and Cemetery Wind located Optimus Prime in [[Mexico City]] and attacked; though Lockdown was able to grievously wound Prime, the human operatives failed to contain Prime, and he escaped and went into hiding.

Continuing to work with Cemetery Wind, Lockdown aided in the pursuit of [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], lurking in nearby waters and disabling the Autobot medic from afar with his head-cannon after the humans had crippled him. When Ratchet refused to divulge Optimus's location, Lockdown ripped his [[spark]] from his chest. Soon after, he met with Attinger on the hull of his ship to discuss their arrangements, where the bounty hunter expressed his disgust with [[human]]s and mused that none of the species he had worked with in his travels had really understood their place in the universe.

An anonymous tip from a [[Lucas Flannery|panicked civilian]] allowed Cemetery Wind to locate Optimus in at the home of [[Cade Yeager]] in [[Texas]]. Lockdown pulled up to a nearby baseball field and transformed, deploying his hook to clamber up a nearby grain silo. When Optimus revealed himself and began fighting back against Cemetery Wind's human operatives, Lockdown bombarded the Yeager homestead with a flurry of missiles, destroying it. Lockdown later pursued Prime across the highway, and eventually engaged Prime in battle on the roof of an abandoned factory. Prime managed to momentarily disable Lockdown by tossing him into a crane cable, allowing the Autobot leader to escape once again with his human allies; Lockdown freed himself in time to try and stop them with a grenade, but the only victim of its blast was [[Lucas Flannery]].

[[File:Lockdown gun face.gif|thumb|left|upright=1.67|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|GIVE ME YOUR]]- Err.. face-gun!]]

Later, after the Autobots stormed [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]], Optimus was battling [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]] when Lockdown ambushed Prime and took him and [[Tessa Yeager]] captive. After moving his ship over Chicago to deliver the promised Seed to Cemetery Wind, Lockdown locked Prime up with the other [[Dinobot (AOE)|Knights]] that he had captured, explaining to the defeated Autobot the origins of his ship and why the Creators wanted him. Unbeknownst to Lockdown, the other Autobots and humans had already boarded his ship in order to free Prime and Tessa; when [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] fired the ship's anchors in order to prevent it from taking off, the bounty hunter merely assumed one of his prisoners had broken free, and dispatched a pack of [[Steeljaw (AOE)|Steeljaws]] to deal with the problem. The beasts detached the anchors, and Lockdown took off into space, unaware that the Autobots had rescued Prime and stolen the section of his ship containing his prize trophy case.

[[File:LockdownDeath.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Half the hunter he used to be.]]
Discovering the truth part-way into his journey, the furious Lockdown ordered a return to Earth. Arriving in the midst of a battle between the Autobots and KSI drones in [[Hong Kong]], Lockdown utilized a magnetic weapon on his ship to wreak havoc on the city, but it was soon destroyed by Optimus. Lockdown descended to Hong Kong to battle him in person, leading to a vicious fight that saw Lockdown take the upper hand after Optimus diverted his attention save Cade Yeager from Attinger. Lockdown impaled Prime on his own [[sword]], mocking him for his choice to save the human, but before the bounty hunter could finish him, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], Cade, Tessa and [[Shane Dyson]] all teamed up against him. Lockdown was able to dispatch Bumblebee, and then turned on Cade, but failed to notice that Shane and Tessa had freed Optimus. Optimus slew Lockdown by brutally bisecting him with his sword, and destroyed what remained of his body when he used one of Lockdown's grenades to finish off the remaining KSI drones.

And we thought Lockdown always fulfilled his contracts.

===Cyber Missions===

[[File:CyberMissions3-Lockdown.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Lockdown is bad at missions that involve cyber because he only has one hand.]]

{{quote|Science will not win this war!|Says the transforming giant robot|[[Cyber Missions 3|''Cyber Missions'' #3]]}}

Lockdown was cruising the city streets when he was encountered by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], who had been alerted to Lockdown's presence by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] due to their "violent history". For blocks, Lockdown fled Ratchet silently as the Autobot fired his [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] blaster until he transformed into [[robot mode]] and expressed his frustration. Finally, when Ratchet's EMP blaster failed him, Lockdown transformed as well. He mocked Ratchet for never being able to best him, knocked him around, and when the Autobot had had enough, the Decepticon bounty hunter stole Ratchet's EMP blaster as a memento. As Lockdown sped away, he wondered if he could fix Ratchet's faulty weapon. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 3|Cyber Missions #3}}

Later, Lockdown managed to evade [[Diego Garcia]]'s security measures and sneak into Autobot Headquarters undetected. After cutting power to the facilities, he sneaked up behind [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] in the target practice range. Ratchet's EMP blaster, attached to Lockdown's arm, was now in proper working order, and the bounty hunter vowed to also take Sideswipe's new sidearms. Lockdown was shocked when the EMP blaster was shot off his arm and out of his reach by Ratchet. Wounded, the Decepticon fled. Unfortunately for Lockdown, he retreated to the medical bay, where Ratchet's surgical tools restrained and sedated him. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 7|Cyber Missions #7}}

Later, Lockdown and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] confronted [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. Looking to steal one of Ironhide's weapons, Lockdown took a missile instead, which blew up in his face. The explosion damaged his optics, so he fled. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 11|Cyber Missions #11}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Titan AOE Drif's crew.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|In the grim darkness of the recent past, there is only war!]]

Five years before the Battle of [[Chicago]],<ref>''Dark of the Moon'' has no explicit date but as Sam has graduated, it's set in 2012 at the earliest</ref> Lockdown was part of a three-Con team with [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] and [[Knucklehead]] on Cybertron. While Drift wanted to take an Autobot outpost with minimal bloodshed, Lockdown thought this was sissy hippy crap and they should just bomb everything (even though that would mean having no outpost to capture); when they sneaked instead, he disobeyed orders and decided to execute prisoners out of hand. Drift stopped him, giving a gleeful Lockdown the chance to claim the guy was a traitor and kill him off. Knucklehead and Drift sent him down into a molten moat, swearing revenge on them both. Of course, he couldn't actually kill them while Megatron was still in charge, or the big boss would be unhappy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

As well as being a Decepticon, Lockdown had a profitable sideline as a bounty hunter and hired killer. He claimed the bounty on the [[Coseem crime gang]]'s boss.{{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.4|Locked In!}}

With a [[Lockdown (ROTF)#Revenge of the Fallen|new body]], he went to Earth soon after and ended up captured by [[NEST]] under unknown circumstances... only to become part of [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]]'s 2010 jailbreak! He joined Bludgeon's splinter cell of Decepticons and took great pleasure in talking out all his "hurting" on [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} When the Autobots tracked down the Decepticon base in [[Russia]], Lockdown was ordered to prepare an ambush for them. He loyally served Bludgeon in this until Megatron arrived, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} and then he not-so-loyally ran away. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

Near the end of the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Battle of Chicago]], Lockdown (now back in his old body!) immediately murdered Knucklehead as soon as Megatron died. Drift, now an Autobot, found the corpse on the moon and knew the hunter had become more powerful than before. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Adrift in Space and Time}}

Lockdown soon took control of the remaining Decepticon forces on Earth but kept himself out of the limelight. He oversaw an ambush in [[Indonesia]]: three Decepticons would kill a few hundred humans, getting the predictable Autobots to give chase and be ambushed at an old [[Netherlands|Dutch]] fort. He watched as [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] didn’t rush in head on and wiped out his team, but the Autobots remained unaware he was around so ''he'' was alright! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.2|Thousand Island Fight}}

He later left Earth to make some more cash bounty-hunting but was tricked into capturing [[Sojex]], a Coseem hitwoman who took control of his ship and turned his own defences on him. He cut through them all and when attacked by [[scraplet]]s, he quietly [[water|dealt with them]] while using holograms to make Sojex think he was dead. After her defeat, Lockdown was contacted by [[Creator (AOE)|new employers]] with a job on Earth.{{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5.4|Locked In!}}

Lockdown found himself cornered by the duo of [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] and [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]], but to the bounty hunter's luck, Drift was an inexperienced Dinobot rider indeed. Lockdown impatiently waited for Drift to get his act together and attack him already, but to Lockdown's amusement, Drift fried himself with Slug's weaponry. However, it turned out to be a bad day for all, since Lockdown got zapped too.

One must wonder why Lockdown didn't flee while Drift spent a long time trying to figure out Slug's weaponry... {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 3: How to Fight|How to Fight}}

Lockdown tried to bribe Sentinel with a [[seed]], but in the meantime, Optimus finally reignited Sentinel's sense of honor. Sentinel proceeded to pretend to hand over Optimus only to betray Lockdown and capture his [[Knight Ship|ship]]. Teaming up with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, Optimus and Sentinel liberated Earth from Decepticon control and used the seed to revitalize Cybertron. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/22}}

[[File:Lockdown ROTDS.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Some time during his stay on Earth, Lockdown tracked down the [[Dark Spark]] as it made its way toward the planet. The Autobots realized the destruction the relic could cause and moved to retrieve it, only to be stopped by the bounty hunter. Intercepting the Autobots, Lockdown grabbed the Dark Spark first and took it for himself. Despite Optimus Prime's pleas, Lockdown was more interested in the profit he could make from its power. As Prime attempted to tackle Lockdown and take the artifact, Lockdown activated its power and froze the Autobots in place long enough to escape.

Later, the Autobots attempted to infiltrate Lockdown's base but were unsuccessful. Drift was captured while Bumblebee escaped, but only long enough to find an alternate path to retrieve his colleague. Lockdown sent a titan after them to prevent their escape, but the Autobots were able to slip out and regroup.

Finally breaking into Lockdown's base, they discovered he had been using the power of the Dark Spark to create a time bridge to go back in time and prevent the Autobot's victory at the Battle of Chicago. In doing so, he would revive the war and with it his main source of income. Optimus once again pleaded to rethink, citing the destruction that Earth would have to endure if the war were to continue, but as usual Lockdown didn't care. Optimus once again tried to tackle Lockdown, who activated the Dark Spark's power again to stop him in mid-air. In true super villain fashion, Lockdown monologued his plan rather than do something about Prime, who was able to break free of the Dark Spark's power. The two fought to a standstill until Drift was able to move in and cut the Dark Spark from Lockdown's chest. Fumbling to catch it, Lockdown instead knocked it into Drift's hand long enough for Optimus to activate the Matrix of Leadership and blast it into the time bridge. Lockdown took the opportunity to escape, swearing that "this isn't the end". {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark (console)}}

[[File:ROTF deluxe Lockdown.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|[[Lockdown (Animated)|Almost identical]].]]
*'''Lockdown''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-26'''
**''Accessories'': Engine

:Lockdown's design strongly homages his [[Lockdown (Animated)|''Transformers Animated'' counterpart]], but with a completely different transformation. Once again, Lockdown transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. The toy's [[Mech Alive]] feature rotates cylinders inside his thighs as his lower legs rotate, and pneumatic cylinders extend as his [[Capture Hook]] is deployed.

:Lockdown may have the most articulated neck ever for a Transformer, having three ball joints and a swivel joint. Craziness.

:Similar to his ''Animated'' counterpart, Lockdown's arm-mounted hot rod engine weapon can be removed and can be replaced by ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s weapon. Likewise, Ratchet can store Lockdown's engine on his roof; it cannot, however, attach to his arm. Interestingly, the plug for Lockdown's engine is the same general shape as the plug for ''Animated'' Lockdown's EMP blaster/engine, but smaller; as such, it isn't compatible with ''Animated'' Lockdown, or with ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] or [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]], for that matter.

:Much like his Animated incarnation, he is much taller then other Deluxes, being almost Voyager-sized or larger.

:This mold was retooled to make [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010]] [[Axor]] as well as [[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|''Timelines'']] [[Circuit (Movie)|Circuit]]. This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[Lockdown (G1)|Lockdown]].

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''AD-26'''
**''Japanese Release Date:'' '''2014-[[July 19|07-19]]'''
**''Accessories'': Face-gun, Missile
:A new mold, Lockdown transforms into an officially licensed (in fact, the only licensed toy of Lockdown released in the ''Age of Extinction'' line) Lamborghini Aventador, and is decently articulated in [[robot mode]], with only the waist lacking articulation. He comes with a missile-firing blaster that can either be held using his hands (via 5mm posts), or attached to his head (via a peg on the gun) to simulate his "Sniper-Mode" from the ''Age of Extinction'' film. The blaster can also peg onto the top of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] via two additional pegs. His transformation shares similarities to Deluxe [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s. Take note that any weapons with longer posts cannot peg down through his hands, and making matters worst; His lower arm (painted silver) is a single piece that integrated on his car kibble.

:Takara Tomy's ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version of the figure replaces much of the robot mode's grey plastic with black, intending to create a more movie-accurate appearance.

:Amusingly, both of his toys from Hasbro and Takara are both mis-transformed. The Hasbro version has his shoulder cannons not properly transformed and his part of his right side of his body mis-transformed while the Takara has his legs and arms not properly transformed; however this gives him a much taller and less bulky look. He is somewhat inaccurate to his actual CGI appearance, and ironically unlike his predecessors, he is actually smaller than most other Deluxes his size due his smaller vehicle mode size.

:Lockdown was later extensively retooled as ''The Last Knight'' [[Hot Rod (DOTM)#Premiere|Hot Rod]].

[[File:AoE flip and change Lockdown.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Having an adequate Leader-sized Lockdown comes at the cost of having a messed up Lambo.]]
*'''Lockdown''' (Flip & Change, 2014)

:Part of the second wave of Flip & Change assortment, Lockdown is a simplified toy that can auto-transform from vehicle to robot by pulling out the arms first, and then flip the figure over itself. He features articulation on his arms, and features 5mm compatible hands.

:Lockdown shares the same transformation scheme with his fellow Flip & Changers Bumblebee and Drift. He was later retooled into [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]].

*'''Lockdown''' (One-Step Changers, 2014)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA09'''

:Similar to an Activators toy, Lockdown can transform into a robot by pressing a button on his vehicle mode. This version of him does ''not'' have a licensed Lamborghini Aventador car mode (No licensing information is printed on his packaging, nor does the car have a Lamborghini symbol). Oddly enough, Lockdown's entire back is sculpted with great detail, despite this not being visible without taking the toy apart. His only articulation is the hands, which they can only pivot up & down.

:After transforming into robot mode, Lockdown needs to transform back into vehicle in both steps: Push down the button again while clamping the vehicle parts together to make it secure.

:The Japanese release of Lockdown does away with the blue paint on his robot mode and car rear, and features black and metallic blue paint detail on his robot parts for slight extra screen-accuracy.

:Lockdown was later retooled into [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]].

: A roughly Deluxe sized version of Lockdown, he transforms into the same unlicensed Lamborghini Aventador lookalike as his other Robots In Disguise toy. Squeezing his legs triggers the firing gimmick on his back. [[:File:AoE Power Battler Lockdown.jpg|Promotional photographs of Power Battlers Lockdown]] featured paint applications on his left thigh/vehicle front bumper, but the final product left the thigh/bumper unpainted due to being molded in [[unpaintable plastic]].

:Surprisingly, aside from his kibble, he is proportionally more accurate to the CGI design of Lockdown than the Deluxe version (see above).

**''Accessories'': Scoped pistol

: The "[[Lockdown Air Raid]]" box set is centered around a large build of [[Knight Ship|Lockdown's ship]], and of course features its pilot in [[Kreon]] form. This version of Lockdown has a bared-teeth snarl and a new-mold helmet with a face-concealing flip-up visor attachment. While other visors will work with Lockdown's helmet, Lockdown's visor pretty much doesn't work with any other helmets.

: The set also comes with two other Kreons and a buildable [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]] raptor.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)| Age of Extinction]]''-branded [[Kre-O#Custom Kreons|Custom Kreons]], this version of Lockdown has a neutral expression on his face, a darker hip-piece, and slightly different chest deco than the "Lockdown Air Raid" version. He comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. Unlike other Custom Kreons, he only has a single (opaque) helmet, but comes with [[chrome]]d and translucent versions of his flip-up visor, as well as an extra clear-plastic torso and legs, plus the "missile" backpack. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), a buildable "head gun" (though it cannot be pushed all the way down on the neck-peg as shown in his instructions) and a Klingon blaster rifle originally from the ''Star Trek Kre-O'' sets, enhanced with a small "technic" peg.

:''[[Q-Transformers]]'' Lockdown is a [[super deformed]] toy that transforms from a cutesified super-deformed Lamborghini Aventador to robot like in the film. He comes with a code for unlocking Lockdown as a playable character in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (mobile game)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' game, though his in-game appearance is based on his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' design instead of this toy.

:This Lockdown is a new mold that matches the character's appearance in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (cartoon)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' cartoon, which is in turn based on his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' design but with a vehicle mode inspired by the Lamborghini Aventador. In fact, he matches up with the Lockdown design unlocked in the ''Q-Transformers'' game by the ''previous'' toy. The "Yoroshikuu!" added to his name means, roughly, "Best regards!" (よろしくぅ!), though in Lockdown's case it's meant in a sarcastic manner used by stereotypical Japanese delinquents. This line is something of a catchphrase of Lockdown's in the ''Q-Transformers'' cartoon.

:This toy was re-released with a new ID number as part of the second ''Q-Transformers'' series.

They come with a cardboard backdrop to be displayed on that depicts a typical service area of a Japanese expressway, much like the real locations the characters stand around in in the cartoon.

:Released in the second wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' deluxe class figures, Lockdown is an all-new mold which transforms into a licensed Lamborghini Aventador and back, offering a much more screen-accurate depiction of his on-screen stature and proportions than previous molds.

:Lockdown comes with a new blade/blaster weapon and an articulated hook claw, though his iconic face-gun is omitted. He also includes a cardboard backdrop of a hangar within the Knight Ship.

:In an undocumented feature, Lockdown's [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-chest]] is on a hinge, allowing his chest to not be quite as flat as it comes in-package.

:Though the Studio Series line aims for accurate scale between characters, Lockdown is noticeably short; standing only a head taller than Bumblebee when he should be about as tall as Optimus Prime.

:This mold was later redecoed for [[Shadow Raider]].

Though it eventually saw release in ''Speed Stars'', the ''RPM'' version had more paint operations, featuring a painted cowcatcher, engine and roof spikes. While only "Stunticon" Lockdown was officially listed during the run of the ''RPM'' series (on the back of the Asian market release of ''RPM'' "Stunticon" [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]), images of the two were revealed by a downloadable poster on the official ''Transformers'' website of Turkey.

:"Stunticon" Lockdown is a redeco of his previous ''Speed Stars'' toy in black, purple and red - or ''was'' back when the line was ''Robot Powered Machines'' (see above). Though Lockdown is listed on the back of ''Speed Stars'' Stunticon [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s packaging, a Lockdown redeco named Axor was shown as part of the Stunticon series at [[BotCon 2010]] (who was in turn named as Axel on the ''Speed Stars'' website). Given there were a few wholesale deco changes between ''RPMs'' and ''Speed Stars'' within series, it's possible that Lockdown's place in the Stunticons was taken by Axor/Axel... but considering that ALL of these items seem to be canceled, it's impossible to say for certain.

==Notes==
*The head on ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe Lockdown's instruction lineart is actually that of his retool, [[Axor]]. The head can be seen in much clearer detail on page 8 of the [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[Hasbro Design Sketchbook]], volume 2.
*In reference to his ''[[Lockdown (Animated)|Animated]]'' counterpart, Lockdown's ''Age of Extinction'' incarnation has the ability to transform his hands into various weapons, such as the famous hook, a blaster, a spark extractor device, and even his chainsaw-hand. He can also turn his head into a sniper rifle-esque cannon, lending credence to the fact that he's probably been building on himself like his original incarnation. Some concept art also showed him characteristically taking and equipping Ratchet's saw after he had terminated the Autobot.
*Early concept art for Lockdown indicates that at one point he would have hewed closer to his original ''Animated'' design; not only would he have sported a green-and-black color scheme and a tattered "poncho",<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/1/10492031_823531154338867_8013560203166570203_n_1404766373.jpg Concept art for Lockdown's robot mode</ref> he would also have transformed into a weatherbeaten muscle car with an exposed engine block.<ref>http://www.flickr.com/photos/69016045@N00/14607949853/ Concept art for Lockdown's vehicle mode</ref> Presumably, his [[alternate mode]] and design were altered so that Lamborghini could [[To sell toys|advertise their new sports cars]].
*Two proposed [[Fun Publications]] [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]]s were a redeco of [[#Revenge of the Fallen|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Lockdown]] into "Marlboor Wheeljack" (conceived prior to [[Exhaust]] receiving his name from Takara) and a ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' version of [[Stranglehold]] using the [[Axor]] tooling (and would have had a mustache!).<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>
*According to Hasbro's website, Lockdown has done work for the Decepticons and is paid in energy chips. The website also states that the Deceptions owe Lockdown a hefty sum that they have yet to pay up on.

{{factions|autobot|}}

Well hi. Looks like you found my page eh? Congrats, but there's not really anything to see here. 😆

All I can say about myself is I am an American who enjoys a ton of things, including Transformers surprise surprise. What else do you think I was here for lol?

While I agree that [[Michael Bay|Michael Bay's]] [[Live-action film series|movies]] are of questionable quality, I can't deny they are what really got me into Transformers. I don't know if I'd be as big with Transformers as I am today if I never wanted to see the first one. I don't limit myself to the film series though, just to make that clear.

{{noname-nickname}}
:''"Shockwave" is a [[Maximal]]-turned-[[Decepticon]] from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:HoSShockwave.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Boaty McNoFace.]]

Formerly a servant of [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]], "'''Shockwave'''" was one of the many [[Maximal]]s caught up in the twisted experiments of his [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|namesake]].

__TOC__
==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
{{first|[[Strange Visitors|''Revolutionaries'' #5]]}}
[[File:StrangeVisitors-IceAgeWars.jpg|thumb|left|250px|If you think about it, this is basically Shockwave writing furry self-insert fanfiction.]]
Ten million years ago, the Maximal who would become "Shockwave" was one of the many Maximals who followed "[[Onyx Prime]];" unaware or uncaring that this member of the [[Thirteen]] was an cover identity used by a time-travelling [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]. Following the end of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], Onyx and his Maximals departed [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for good, and set a course for the dead world of [[Antilla]]. In time, Onyx would uncover the artifact he dubbed the "[[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]]", part of an ancient doomsday weapon responsible for the planet's devastation.

Twenty thousand years ago, the future "Shockwave" was part of an expedition under the command of [[Domitius Major]], at Onyx's behest; as part of his larger goals, he decided to have the Talisman relocated to [[Earth]], and enlisted the crew of the starship ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' to do so. {{storylink|Our Finest}} "Shockwave" and his shipmates were evidently not aware of the full scope of Onyx's plans, nor the paradoxical nature of their impending voyage; they reached [[Ice Age]] Earth solely by accident, having been drawn off-course to refuel their ship after a ten-thousand year voyage. While preparing to land, however, their ship was intercepted by the younger Shockwave, who had come to investigate his [[Regenesis]] project. Shockwave confused the crew aboard with a bounced broadcast of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] before easily shooting them down and causing their ship to crash in prehistoric Brasnya. In the crash, the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] aboard the ''Axalon'' scrambled the memories of the crew.

Their amnesia inspired Shockwave to use the crew of the ''Axalon'' in a cruel experiment, altering their appearances and memories to convince them that they were the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Remade into a doppelgänger of their tormentor, the brainwashed "Shockwave" took part in the simulated "[[Ice Age Wars]]" on Earth as part of the real Shockwave's wargames. Eventually, the climate worsened and the energon stores ran out, and when the real Shockwave departed, the ersatz Autobots and Decepticons went into hibernation. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}}

[[File:StrangeVisitors-CenturionVsFakeShockwave.jpg|thumb|right|250px|It is illogical that only one is capable of falling.]]

The Maximal Decepticons awoke in the late 1860s after human activity roused them from their slumber. "Shockwave" took the form of an ironclad warship and, claiming to be a benefactor for humanity, proposed an alliance with disgraced inventor [[Tobias Muldoon]]. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel issue 1|Hearts of Steel #1}} Several years later, "Shockwave" was one of the Transformers who fell under the sway of an [[Elder God]]. {{storylink|Infestation 2: The Transformers issue 1|Infestation 2: The Transformers #1}}

"Shockwave" survived the encounter and eventually returned to his own senses. As his comrades slowly ran out of fuel and died, "Shockwave" was soon left as one of the last Maximals on Earth by the time of [[World War II]]. Hiding out in [[France]], he was eventually challenged by "[[Centurion (IDW)|Bumblebee]]". Their battle was devastating, but the yellow Autobot managed to kill his foe and take his Gatling gun arm as a trophy. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}}

The body of "Shockwave" was later recovered by [[Merklynn|Garrison Kreiger]] as part of his quest to learn more about the Talisman and the Cybertronians that had brought it to Earth. Puppeteered by a horde of interlocked [[IRON Trooper]]s, "Shockwave" became part of the base's security system alongside a similarly reanimated Domitius Major. Both of the "I.R.O.N. Cybertronians" were deployed to stop [[Action Man]] after he and his compatriots broke into the base. Action Man succeeded in flooding a tunnel and washing them away. They recovered just in time to briefly tangle with the [[Thunderhawk]] and [[Shark]] before [[Atomic Man]] committed suicide, severing the link between himself and the IRON Troopers and permanently taking them offline. {{storylink|Power and Glory}}

The many deaths of Optimus Prime

2018-09-02T07:07:08Z

MisterKenneth:

{{disambig3|Death of Optimus Prime}}
[[File:Afterdeath-gameoverman.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|Oh, he's gone and died again. Botheration! Most inconvenient.]]
Across the various continuities, '''Optimus Prime dies a lot.''' This happens for various reasons:

*It allows for him to be replaced by [[Hot Rod (G1)|a new character]] (and thus [[To sell toys|a new toy]]).
*It allows for him to come back from the dead in a new body (again, a new toy).
*It's dramatic (or it used to be).
*It makes him into something of a [[Jesus|Christ]]-figure.
*It allows for numerous [[Optimus Prime memorial|memorials]] to be constructed in his honor (though they're sometimes built even ''before'' he dies, morbidly enough).

Nearly every continuity family has featured Optimus Prime dying at least once; notable outliers are the Primes from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon]] (though an alternate version [[Shell Game|wasn't so lucky]]), [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] (though not without multiple near-death experiences and one metaphorical death), and ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' (since in that case, it's [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]]'s job).

{{quote|Oh, you Optimuses do love to sacrifice yourselves, don't you?|A very genre-savvy [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]|"[[Other Voices, Part 2]]"}}

==Generation 1 cartoon continuity==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
[[File:Wardawn orion dies.jpg|right|upright=1.15|thumb|Dying before he's even Optimus Prime (he's that good).]]
[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Orion Pax]] died (or was at least severely damaged by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]) and had to be rebuilt into Optimus Prime by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. It's possible that if Orion had not been repaired, Optimus Prime would have ceased to exist. Pax's girlfriend Ariel was also heavily damaged, and rebuilt into [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. They were with their friend [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] when they were attacked by Megatron, but he was never rebuilt and presumably died. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

===''The Transformers: The Movie''===
[[File:TFTM dead gray Prime.jpg|left|thumb|{{w|Oscar Wilde#Exile|"Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."}}]]
This is the best known example, in which [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] infamously dies of wounds from his battle with Megatron. Notably, his body [[Aggressive depigmentation|turns gray]] as he dies. ([[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|Urban legend]] says his body also ''crumbles,'' but no such footage is known to exist.) Being the first time he died, it was actually unexpected. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

===''Kiss Players''===
Sometime between [[The Transformers: The Movie|2005]] and [[The Transformers (cartoon)|2010]], [[Marissa Faireborn]] revives Optimus using the Galvatron cells in her body... by kissing him. Ultimately, all the cells are put back into [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], and without them, Optimus promptly dies again. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#CD_collections_and_special_episodes|You, I and the Spinning Earth}}

===''The Transformers'' Season 3===
[[File:Optimusg1zombie.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|"He's passed on! This Optimus is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his rectifier coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-AUTOBOT!!"]]
He returns from the dead ''twice;'' first as a [[zombie]] under [[Quintesson]] control as part of a plan to destroy the [[Autobot]]s, only to die again when he overcomes the Quintesson control through the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and possibly the strength of his will, and sacrifices himself to save the Autobots. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening}} He then was brought to life again (and stayed alive). {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

===''The Headmasters''===
[[File:Headmasters-primedies.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|"...I'm dead." "YES, you are!" "You think that's funny, Jennings?!"]]
Prime's death in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' was sort-of recreated in a flashback montage, but not really. Rather than die while taking down his ultimate nemesis in a one-on-one struggle to the death to defend his city, his comrades, the planet [[Earth]], and freedom itself, he just kind of gets randomly shot while in the middle of an ordinary battle outside of the [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]], and turns gray. Nobody else seems to notice this. It's not clear that ''Prime himself'' notices it. It's about the most half-hearted death ever. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}}

Optimus Prime later died again — in another act of self-sacrifice, of course — when he walked into [[Vector Sigma]] and tried to bring it back under control directly. His body turned gray as he died, followed by a (likely only symbolic) scene of him telling [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] that it would be his responsibility to keep leading the Autobots and to continue his work, seen as a transparent, light-haloed figure against the sky and heard in third person narration as Rodimus stared into the sky. (Then again, given the [[Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime|proven]] [[Starscream's Ghost|exis]][[Ghost in the Machine (G1)|tence]] of [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|gho]][[Alpha Trion (G1)|sts]]...) {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

===''Unite Warriors''===
Optimus Prime is revived through the efforts of Vector Sigma and [[Ratchet (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ratchet]]'s new healing unit, but his multiple previous deaths has left its mark and Vector Sigma's power can only keep him alive for seven days. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} After a week has passed, Optimus dies again until a more powerful energy source can be found. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part Two}}

===''Return of Convoy''===
The [[Battlestars]] managed to restore Optimus's life with the power of the [[Zodiac]], evolving him into Star Convoy. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)|The Battlestars}}

===''Generation 2''===
In the Japanese version of ''Generation 2'', Optimus Prime was badly wounded by Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] and almost died, but was resurrected and evolved yet again, this time into [[Laser Rod]] Optimus Prime, by the power of the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]]. {{storylink|Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)##13 Battle Convoy (2-pages)|G-2 #13}}

==Marvel Comics continuity==
===Generation 1===
[[File:Pmoptimusprimedeath.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|"Give me my face!"]]
[[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], after failing to live up to his moral principles while playing a video game against [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], actually ''volunteers'' to be killed. The Autobots launch his [[Transformer funerary practices|funeral]] bier into space. Fortunately, the creator of the video game, [[Ethan Zachary]], saves a backup copy of Prime's mind on a [[floppy disk]]. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} We first meet this virtual Prime sixteen issues later. {{storylink|Pretender to the Throne!}} He gets his new [[Powermaster]] body two issues thereafter. {{storylink|People Power!}} A previous attempt was made at making virtual Prime a new body. The body ''spontaneously blew up''. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

About thirty issues later, Prime sacrifices himself again to defeat [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} and dies. {{storylink|Still Life!}} However, his Powermaster partner, [[Hi-Q]], survives, and almost immediately begins babbling about how he's ''really'' Optimus Prime. This turns out to be true, and the [[Last Autobot]] metamorphoses Hi-Q into Prime (with a new [[Action Master]] body) in the last issue of the original Marvel US series. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

===''Generation 2''===
[[File:Swarmoptimus.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Unleashing the light of the Matrix upon a great evil. Again.]]
This Prime wasn't done dying yet. His adventures continued in the G2 comics, and he died defeating the [[Swarm (G2)|Swarm]]. The Swarm reconstituted him three pages later (in a body based on his then-current [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] toy). {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

===''Regeneration One''===
Despite being possessed by the [[Dark Matrix (G1)|Dark Matrix]] creature, a wounded Optimus Prime was able to help [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Circuit Smasher]] stop the creature's plan to spread across the multiverse from [[Zero Space]]. At the conclusion of the conflict, Rodimus and Spike bore witness as Optimus died in his protege's arms in the Primus chamber. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

==IDW Generation 1 continuity==
{{quote|Optimus will be back. He '''always''' comes back.|[[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]]|"[[The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing]]"}}

It looks like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|this Optimus Prime]] made a habit of almost dying even before he became a Prime - [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] shoots him in the back, {{storylink|Overthrown}} and one issue later every Autobot believes Orion Pax is dead... but is he? (SPOILER ALERT: No, he's not.) {{storylink|Transformation (issue)|Transformation}}

In his first battle with the [[Ore-13]] powered Megatron, Optimus was killed. {{storylink|Escalation issue 5}} Or at least, his ''main body'' was: by quickly downloading his consciousness into [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]] (and then back again), Optimus was able to survive. Being that close to death meant he briefly existed in a [[infraspace|limbo]] state, which got him noticed by [[Nova Prime]] in the [[Dead Universe]]. {{storylink|Escalation issue 6}}

He then spends a considerable period badly damaged and near death. He is revived, however, when [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]] and his crew arrive. {{storylink|The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron}}

A rare ''metaphorical'' version occurs when he leaves Cybertron to appease the anti-Autobot [[NAIL]]s. With no duties or lives to mind but his own, and no Matrix to carry, he claims that Optimus Prime is dead, but Orion Pax has been reborn. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}} Of course, just like the real deaths, this one doesn't stick; Orion later reclaims the Optimus name during his final battle with [[Nova Prime]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}}

Meanwhile, a [[Domitius Major|guy who ''thought'' he was Optimus Prime]] died on Earth during [[World War I]]. The closest he came to returning to life was having a bunch of [[IRON Trooper]]s wear his dead body like a suit. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}}

==''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoon continuity==
[[File:Machinima-Titans-Return-Ep10-OptimusDies.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you...]]
At some point during the Great War, Megatron killed Optimus, but he eventually came back. Years later, Megatron sarcastically asked if Optimus was still mad at him for it. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} When [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] returned, Optimus attempted to stop him, but Megatronus shot a beam clean through his chest and he died once again. {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}} His [[spark]] passed on to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]], but thanks to his connection to the Matrix and the Primes, it was freed after Megatronus's destruction, and he emerged from the Well with a shiny new body. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

==''Beast Wars'' cartoon continuity==
===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
[[File:Smelt Prime.JPG|right|upright=1.1|thumb|"I'm not quite dead yet! I feel happy!"]]
In ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'', you could mark the end of a season by the near-death experience of one [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus]] or [[Optimus Prime (G1)|another]]...

At the end of the first season of ''Beast Wars'', Optimus Primal piloted a bomb-equipped [[stasis pod]] in an attempt to destroy the [[Planet Buster]]. Unfortunately, [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had sealed the pod's hatch, and Optimus blew up with it. {{storylink|Other Voices, Part 2}} Early in the second season (a few hours later as far as the characters were concerned), [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] managed to unite Optimus's drifting [[spark]] with a [[blank]] [[protoform]], thus bringing him back to life (and in a new [[Transmetal]] body, too). {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}

At the end of the second season, the ''Beast Wars'' Megatron came very close to killing the original Optimus Prime. But [[Optimal Situation|Prime didn't ''quite'' die]], so we really shouldn't count it. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}}

(Strangely, the end of the third season of ''Beast Wars'' had no Optimus deaths whatsoever! A half-dozen others died, but not Optimus.) {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}

===''Beast Machines'' cartoon===
At the end of the first season of ''Beast Machines'', Optimus and Megatron had a cataclysmic battle, using the energies of [[Vector Sigma]] and the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. This would have destroyed [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], but Optimus took the warring energies into himself and disintegrated. However, his spark was trapped within the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], and the other [[Maximal]]s convinced him to return to the real world at [[Fallout (episode)|the start of second season]]. The Oracle kindly gave him a new body (which, believe it or not, was ''not'' a new toy). {{storylink|End of the Line}}

During a trip to the underground ruins of Iacon, Optimus Primal encountered a hologram of the original Optimus Prime, who claimed to have perished in "the final battle", presumably in the Great War. The hologram was a ruse by Megatron, so make of that what you will. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search|The Search}}

At the end of the series, Optimus Primal gave his life to defeat Megatron once and for all, pushing him into the [[technorganic]] [[organic core|core of the planet]]. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future}} In assorted ancillary media, he comes back to life yet again. {{storylink|Transformers: Universe (comic)|Transformers: Universe}} {{storylink|Beast Wars Reborn}} {{storylink|Transformers: Alternators}}

==IDW Beast Wars comics==
In the final conflict of the Great War in 2035, Optimus Prime and Galvatron were both killed on Cybertron. Command of the Autobot forces subsequently fell to the [[Primal Council]]. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

==''Beast Wars: Uprising''==
''This'' Optimus Prime has been through a hell of a lot.

In this particular universe, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] succeeded in his time-travelling gambit to kill Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime died, and as a result of his death the Maximals and Predacons that had engineered his death succumbed to the history-altering [[timestorm]] as the timeline spun off onto a new course. {{storylink|A Change to the Agenda}} Without Optimus's inspiring presence, the Great War was much more violent, and Earth was ravaged by the depredations of the Decepticons. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}}

By 2033, the Autobots had managed to revive their leader through unknown means, and when the war spread to [[Master (planet)|Master]] he binary-bonded himself to a trio of [[Cyberdroid]]s, including [[Diac]], who replaced Prime's damaged head. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}} [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] fondly recalled a moment when he crushed Optimus's new head, which can't have ended well for ol' Prime. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Ultimately, Optimus Prime would die for good after sacrificing himself to the Swarm in an attempt to save the [[Human Confederacy]], taking the Matrix with him. {{storylink|Book of Logos}}

In the 24th century, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] was one of several rebels against the new [[Builder of Cybertron|Builder]] status quo, but her breaking point came when her colleagues [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] died. When her commander Optimus Primal refused to turn against the Builders, Blackarachnia and [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]] killed him. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25|"TransTech" Blackarachnia's profile in Club magazine #25}}

[[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] used his body to block the blast of [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Hydra Cannon]], protecting the [[Earth]].

[[File:ROTF Optimus death.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|Shot through the heart, and [[Megatron (Movie)|you're]] to blame, you give love a bad name!]]
This is perhaps the most brutal Prime death to date, in keeping with the rather more graphic nature of combat in the live-action movies. To protect [[Sam Witwicky]], Optimus Prime engaged in a fierce battle with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]. Despite injuring Starscream and destroying Grindor by ripping his head apart, Optimus is viciously run-through from behind by Megatron and then blasted through the back, killing him. While dead, Optimus' body is depicted with faded colours in reference to his history of turning gray upon death. This event causes Sam to follow the symbols the AllSpark sliver placed in his mind to find the ancient [[Matrix of Leadership#Live-action film series|Matrix of Leadership]], the only thing that could restore life to Optimus. Unfortunately, it crumbled into dust upon touching it in the [[Tomb of the Primes]] on the border between [[Egypt]] and [[Jordan]]. During the climactic battle in Egypt between [[NEST]] and the Decepticons, Sam was seemingly killed by Megatron, only to be taken to another plane of existence where he met [[Dynasty of Primes|the Primes who died]] to prevent [[The Fallen]] from achieving victory, and they bestowed upon him the true Matrix, which allowed Sam to revive Optimus. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{Note|In the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]] of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', unlike the movie, it is explicitly stated that Optimus Prime survived Megatron's attack, but was so badly damaged his body had gone into [[stasis lock]], and would likely stay that way for many years while his body repaired itself if not for Sam's intervention.}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' film===
When Sentinel Prime revealed he had made a deal with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] long ago, and coerced the human governments to exile the Autobots from Earth, Optimus and the Autobots were forced to board the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' and leave Earth. After it had successfully lifted off from the [[Kennedy Space Center]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] destroyed the craft during its ascent into Earth's atmosphere, seemingly killing its occupants (including Optimus). Fortunately for humanity, Optimus and the Autobots had hid themselves inside the booster rockets, which were jettisoned and landed safely in the Atlantic Ocean and Optimus evaded dying yet again. After the Autobots returned and during the Battle of Chicago, Optimus yet again almost met his end when Sentinel Prime, during their final battle and shortly after severing Optimus' right arm, attempted to mercilessly kill his former student using his [[Primax Blade]] while Optimus was vulnerable and on the ground, but failed to do so when Megatron interfered, shooting and throwing the treacherous former Autobot leader to the ground, proclaiming that Earth was ''his planet'', after being convinced by [[Carly Spencer|Carly]] that if he allowed Sentinel to succeed, Megatron would be removed from his position as Decepticon leader. Optimus later killed Megatron ''and'' Sentinel, making things even. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

===''Age of Extinction'' film===
Optimus Prime is SO good at dying, that he ''started the movie'' effectively dead after a human ambush in between movies - obligatory human [[Cade Yeager|Cade]] brought him back to life with a few repairs and a jump-start with a car battery. Even if it's not the miracle of rebirth we're used to, ''nothing'' kills our Prime for long - not even treacherous humans with exploding heavy artillery. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

===''The Last Knight'' film===
Optimus ran out fuel on his way to meet the mysterious Creators around [[Jupiter]] and was left floating in space in stasis lock for quite some time.

During their final battle on Earth, [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] fired a devastating blast from his [[fusion cannon]] which was super charged by Starscream's [[AllSpark]]-fragment-powered head before driving one of his swords straight through Optimus' chest and [[spark]].

Following the creation of a [[Darkmount (Earth)|Decepticon fortress]] practically on the Autobots' doorstep, Optimus had the others evacuate the base while he heroically stayed behind to destroy the [[GroundBridge]] to cover their retreat. He was still in the base when the Decepticons blew it up. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}} [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] pulled him from the rubble and he lay dying in a cavern for several days. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} His lingering death seemed like it was coming to an end when he had a vision of the bright light of the Allspark and spoke with [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]]. In the real world, the light faded from Optimus's optics and his chest opened to reveal the Matrix, at which point Smokescreen used the [[Forge of Solus Prime]] to return him to life in a new, upgraded body. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

To defeat Unicron the second time, Optimus had to merge the [[AllSpark]] with the Matrix of Leadership so he could use the empty container to entrap his foe. This essentially resulted in his own spark becoming one with the AllSpark, and thus in order to restore the AllSpark to its rightful place, Optimus was required to make the ultimate act of self-sacrifice, giving up his own existence so that Cybertron might bear new life. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

Afterwards, Optimus stated that he wasn't sure if he was alive or not, nor did he know what the fates had for him. He then disappeared. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}} In another vision to Bumblebee, Optimus stated that he can only reappear when the need for him is most dire, as decided by the Thirteen. {{storylink|W.W.O.D.?}} It was later revealed that Optimus existed in the [[Realm of the Primes]], undergoing training for a new mission on Earth. {{storylink|Out of Focus}} When the Primes could sense the coming to that planet of [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], Optimus had to convince the Thirteen that he was ready to face him, despite not completing his training. In order to him to face Megatronus, the Thirteen had to put segments of their own sparks into Optimus, causing him to upgrade into a new form. Optimus was thus sent to Earth, re-entering the mortal plane and cheating death once more. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}}

While traveling back in time to the year 1939 in order to save the [[Rescue Bot]]s from [[Thaddeus Morocco|Doctor Morocco]], the Autobots and the human children attempted to escape through the time portal to the present.
However, while the rest of the team made it through the portal back to the future, it abruptly closed, seemingly trapping Optimus. It appeared that the Autobot leader was lost in time. The portal however, suddenly reopened, and Optimus jumped out. When they emerged from the lab, they found [[Griffin Rock]] greatly changed. This was another near death experience for Optimus Prime. {{storylink|It's a Bot Time}}

'''[[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]''' is the star of a [[Live-action film series|multibillion-dollar film franchise]], and as such has an ungodly amount of toys and memorabilia!

Seriously, he's probably got more than [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] by now.

He is one of two characters (the other being [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]) to have at least one toy in every size class.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Bumblebee'''

: Legends Bumblebee transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro. Being a highly simplified toy of a highly complex design, Legends-class Bumblebee does not replicate the appearance of the [[robot mode]] very well, and has very limited articulation, detail and paint applications. Due to his simpified transformation, his hands are exposed on the vehicle bumper, and due to how the arms are molded, the headlights make the robot mode appear to be wielding a pair of guns. On the other hand, he's pocket-sized and inexpensive, perfect for the younger set. The toy has a sculpted rear window, but it's not painted like the other windows. instead, the racing stripes extend over it.

: The toy was also released in two different ways in Japan: the Hasbro version was initially released as a giveaway for the customers who purchased the Movie toys worth 3000 yen in the Transformers First Impact 0602 event held in Ikebukuro Toys "R" Us store at June 2 in midnight, with the package completely unchanged with the exception of the sticker covering the back to identify that this was a giveaway. The toy was also later released as part of the blind-packed EZ Collection lineup, distributed via TakaraTomy's subsidiary Subarudo.

: He was later redecoed into [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Legends Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

He was available as a freebie for the September 2007 issue of the ''Hyper Hobby'' magazine. The toy itself is almost entirely unpainted, save for some metallic blue for his eyes, and silver for his face and for the tampographed Autobot symbol on his chest.

: At least some unsold units (often with (or without) the box and without the magazine) were available in some Hobby Shop dealers in Asia. Fortunately, they're sold in the similar price to current Legion Class figures.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class Classic Camaro, 2007)
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[June 2|06-02]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: The first Deluxe Class version of Movie Bumblebee transforms into a yellow {{w|Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro|1976 Chevrolet Camaro}} with a quite reasonable level of sculpted detail. In contrast to the other Deluxe-class car Transformers in the Movie toyline, he does not have clear windows, instead opting for opaque yellow plastic with painted metallic blue.

: Bumblebee is armed with two shoulder-mounted spring-loaded missile launchers (inspired by the shoulder-mounted missile launchers he uses to fight Brawl/Devastator in the movie), which also double as hand-held weapons or can be mounted on ports on the undersides of his elbows. His legs and chest [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] during transformation.

: The initial release of the toy featured even tabs for the Automorph gimmick; oddly, Hasbro later decided to [[retool]] the feature so the tab would be uneven.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29613 Original Allspark thread about the retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref> This resulted in many reported cases of the tab snapping during transformation. Press the button or you'll break him. Seriously. The retooled Automorph gimmick would be used for all subsequent versions of the mold, including a small number of Japanese releases, and the breakage problem wouldn't be fixed until the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack and the Target exclusive "Evolution of a Hero" two-pack.

: Packaging photos and early [[Prototype|test shots]] of Hasbro's Bumblebee featured transparent blue plastic windows and missile parts. However, the final Hasbro production toy has opaque yellow plastic. The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of Bumblebee retains the transparent blue plastic parts, with yellow paint for the outer car shell. As a consequence, the missiles, which are on the same sprue, are also made of clear blue plastic, just like the early prototype seen in the Hasbro stock photos for the toy. He also uses the retooled version of the mold with the fixed Automorph gimmick. The original Hasbro mold also saw release in Japan 10 years later, as part of the Amazon Japan exclusive 3-pack (see below).

:Both the prototype figures and the latest stock photos had the chest slightly mistransformed, which the headlights can be pulled down while in robot mode. It should be noted that the extra yellow paint apps seen on the prototype's legs are not present in the final product, probably due to budget cuts or unpaintable plastic. The "battle damage" paint app seen on the left side of the car roof varies from different copies of the toy: One contains the faded paint (which affects it's symmetry on the roof), and one features a small faded round half dot on the lower front car roof.

:The packaging used for the Japanese toy is the same as for the Hasbro version, with the exception of additional stickers identifying it as a Japanese market release.

*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Deluxe two-pack, 2007)

: This battle pack contains the 1976 Camaro Deluxe Class Bumblebee and the Deluxe Class [[Barricade (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Barricade]]/[[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] figures, based upon their confrontation as seen in the movie. The box features a diorama-style background from a movie scene, but the toys themselves are unchanged from their original carded releases.

: The set originally retailed for only slightly less than buying the two individual toys. However, for a short while, it was about the only way to ''get'' Bumblebee in the first place, thanks to the [[Movie (toyline)|toy drought]] following the movie's record-smashing opening.

**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

: This set features an unaltered Deluxe Class [[Longarm (Movie)#TowedToSafety|Longarm]] figure and a Deluxe Class 1976 Camaro Bumblebee figure. The window box features a diorama background of the battle in [[Mission City]] (basically the same packaging inner tray from the "Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter" pack). As is generally the case with the European releases of the Movie toys, the pictures on the front of the box show the robot mode toys instead of an artist's depiction of their faces.

: For this two-pack, Hasbro slightly retooled Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick again, adding another small tab that finally resolved the breakage issues that had plagued the previous variation of the mold.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38149 Allspark thread about the second retool of Bumblebee's Automorph gimmick]</ref>

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''New Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[August 9|08-09]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Plasma cannon]]

: The second Deluxe Class Bumblebee toy, which shares no parts with the previous one (even the head, despite being based on the same general design, is a different sculpt), transforms into the {{w|Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro}}. Maintaining the high standard for car accuracy in the movie line, Bumblebee is very faithful to the real-life vehicle, featuring clear blue windows in contrast to the opaque windows seen in both his previous Deluxe class toy and the Ultimate Bumblebee toy.

: Bumblebee features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into robot mode position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action. Unusually, this version of Bumblebee is much more accurate to the CGI design than either the older-model Deluxe OR the Ultimate figure, with the chest properly articulating in a fairly Movie-accurate manner. He's also slightly taller than most of the other Deluxe Class figures.

: Bumblebee features a superb range of articulation, with ball joints in his shoulders, neck, torso, wrists and upper legs, with ratcheting and swivels making up the remaining joints. Instead of the rather inaccurate missile launchers from the 1976 Camaro toy, '09 Bumblebee comes with a mostly accurate version of his plasma cannon as it appears in the movie, but for added play value, it can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. The cannon can be held in either of his hands.

: Care should be taken when removing the cannon from Bumblebee's hands, as excessive force can damage the wrist ball joint socket.

: Contrary to popular opinion, the yellow pieces on the back of Bumblebee's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, nor have they been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design.

: A running change version of this sculpt adds sculpted pupils to Bumblebee's eyes. A ''second'' running change adds tabs to the hip panels, which makes the [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] hold together better.<ref name="conceptvariant">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=144325 TFW2005 thread about the retool for the second Deluxe Bumblebee toy]</ref> Initially this was believed to be a variant for the Japanese market; however, later shipments of the Hasbro toy featured those changes as well, as did all subsequent versions of the sculpt.

: This sculpt was also used to make "Allspark Power" [[Cliffjumper (Movie)#Deluxe Class toys|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Evolution of a Hero''' (Target exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles, Plasma cannon

: A Target exclusive, this figure multi-pack contains an unchanged Deluxe-class 1976 Bumblebee and an exclusive "battle damaged" 2009 Camaro Concept Bumblebee. Even though the 2009 figure is supposed to represent Bumblebee's damaged state as he appeared during the final battle in the movie, oddly enough the "damage" paint decos do not appear to extend to his legs, restricting themselves to his upper torso and car roof/door parts. Maybe they didn't bother because they thought you'd take them off like in the movie. Go figure.

:The Classic Camaro Bumblebee toy included in this package features the same "fixed" Automorph gimmick also found on the version included in the UK exclusive "Towed to Safety" two-pack. In addition, the Automorph button on the hood ''finally'' sports the painted pinstripes that had been missing on ''all'' previous releases of the sculpt.

:This two-pack was available as a Target exclusive in the USA, as a Zellers exclusive in Canada (in English-only packaging), as a Tesco exclusive in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as an exclusive to stores that were members of either the Idee + Spiel or Vedes trade associations (which were cooperating at the time) in Germany. All international versions came in English-only US-style packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

*'''Capture of Bumblebee''' (Screen Battles diorama pack, 2007)

**''Accessories:'' Plasma cannon

: A more [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] [[redeco]] of Camaro Concept Deluxe Class Bumblebee, with all the original version's black plastic parts save for the wheels changed to gray, and all black [[paint operation]]s save for the racing stripes in vehicle mode and the [[license plate]] on the robot mode's abdomen also changed to gray accordingly. In addition, the translucent parts are now an ever-so-slightly greener shade of blue. The only other change beyond that is the addition of a new [[tampograph]]ed red Autobot symbol on his forehead.

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) also includes with non-[[articulation|poseable]] figurines of [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] and two Sector Seven soldiers; one carrying a cryo-freezing cannon and one carrying a grenade launcher.

: This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the scene in which Bumblebee is captured by Sector Seven forces.

: According to details listed in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist">[http://web.archive.org/web/20080920112933/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Collectors/Checklist Hasbro checklist] featuring Screen Battles sets with additional extras</ref> this pack was originally supposed to feature "ice soldiers" (plural), in addition to an "S7 agent" and an "S7 soldier". Apparently budget ultimately only allowed for one. The grenade launcher-wielding S7 soldier also looks conspicuously like [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] colored as a Sector Seven soldier (it's possible that the figure had originally been intended for the Screen Battles "Desert Attack" pack with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], which was supposed to contain ''four'' soldier figures according to the same Hasbro checklist<ref name="checklist"/>).

Other color differences include changing the robot mode body parts from black to gray and adding bright blue ''AllSpark Power'' decos.

:The head has also been retooled to reflect Bumblebee's 'battle mask' as seen in the Movie. The "mask" does not flip up to reveal his head. Bummer.

*'''Final Stand''' (Screen Battles, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SB-02'''

: This ''Screen Battles'' pack (or "Battle Scenes" in Europe) comes with an altered [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] toy and a posable, non-transforming, battle-damaged Bumblebee figure very similar to the ''Robot Replicas'' toy, yet surprisingly utilizing none of the same parts despite being on an identical scale. This set comes in a special window box featuring a diorama background of the battle in Mission City.

:Although entirely composed of original sculpting, such as the gimpy leg-stumps, the Bumblebee figure oddly does not feature the character's distinctive car door "wings" on his back. However, keen [[customizing|customisers]] can easily rectify this by slicing the "Robot Replicas" version's wings off and whittling their connecting plastic into simple posts that very handily plug into large holes in the tires on Final Stand 'Bee's back. In fact, these holes almost seem designed to accommodate a missing part. (Considering how all the other Screen Battles sets were apparently originally intended to feature more, or at least more elaborate, accessory figures based on their entries in an official checklist on Hasbro's website,<ref name="checklist"/> this seems indeed very plausible.)

*'''Ultimate Bumblebee''' (Ultimate, 2007)
**''Accessories:''

: Similar in appearance to the second Deluxe-class Bumblebee toy, albeit much larger and more complex, the 'Ultimate' version of Bumblebee also transforms into the 2009 concept Camaro. The toy features animatronic movement in robot mode (flapping wings, moving arms and a rotating head) and light-up eyes and headlights, activated by the movement or sounds made by the person playing with the toy, or by pressing his buttons, which also activate an obscene number of interactive electronic sound effects. Oddly enough, despite being mute for most of the movie, Bumblebee has a wide range of phrases. His chest button yields various phrases and a new version of the ''Transformers'' theme tune, while a button on his side produces blaster noises, more speech, and musical samples, including four different ones from Devo's "Whip It." This button also causes the toy to raise its cannon-arm and automatically fire a missile. Playing with the toy by moving it will make him repeat various phrases and samples activated by other features, as well as crashing battle noises, but when he is left idle, more unique phrases will be uttered inquiring where everyone has gone, as well as radio snippets to the same effect, before the toy eventually deactivates. Pressing any button will bring him back online with a cheerful shout.

: Transforming the toy between modes is accompanied by the classic transformation noise, and if left unattended between modes, it will make stalling engine noises, car horn and a car alarm sounds. Once in car mode, new electronics are unlocked, beginning with the sound of an engine starting up. The chest button now activates the car's horn, and rolling the figure along will create an accelerating noise that increases the faster the toy is moved. More unique musical snippets will play as the car rolls along; when the rolling stops, brake lights activate and the tires screech. Yet more sounds are produced when Bumblebee is rolled backwards, and the car mode also features different crashing battle noises to the robot mode.

: All of the toy's features can be turned off by a switch, and it has an additional "Try Me" mode which allows you to hear various sounds from the toy's various functions just by pressing the chest button.

: The toy is mistransformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure made the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block resting on Bumblebee's chest. In reality, it splits up into five separate pieces to fold and collapse into a more movie-like appearance.

: In the holiday season, Wal-Mart carried an exclusive "Bonus Buy" version of the toy, which had the Deluxe [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] toys added as freebies. Costco also carried an exclusive version, with the 3" [[Titanium Series]] version of Bumblebee packed in. However, it did not include the display stand.

:The projectile included with this figure is the same mold included with several [[Attacktix]] figures like the [[Decepticlone]], Omnicon, Vehicle Mode [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], and a few others.

:[[Fast Action Battlers]] Bumblebee transforms from concept Camaro to robot with a considerably simpler transformation than the standard deluxe toy, intended for the slightly younger set. His main "gimmick" is a spring-loaded missile launcher in his right arm. As is also the case with Ultimate Bumblebee, the toy is mis-transformed in the package, and all promo photos of the figure make the same mistake, presenting the car hood as a solid block. In reality, the chest/bumper consists of two rotating pieces which can pivot down so as to more accurately emulate the appearance in the movie.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

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

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of golden plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This golden-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Bumblebee's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of nineteen armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a Camaro Concept.

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

It features joints similar to the [[Revoltech]] toys, plus his right forearm can be replaced with his blaster-arm (or any other arm attachments from other Robot Replicas, which could lead to some fun Frankensteins).

:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Bumblebee is based upon the updated Camaro Concept featured in the movie (unlike the 2007 Legends class Bumblebee which was based on the 1976 Camaro). Compared to the previous Movie Legends, he has better, more accurate detailing and proportions (or as accurate as can be obtained at this [[size class|price point]]).

:The [[:File:ROTF Legends Bumblebee HTS.jpg|second batch of stock photos of the toy]], which depict a [[prototype|(pre-)production sample]], show it in a much brighter shade of yellow plastic than it was released as. It's possible that this was simply the result of an excessive alteration of the hue settings during the digital enhancement of those photos, though.

:There are a few problems on the toy's vehicle mode: Probably due to tolerances, There are difficulties for perfectly aligning the wings/side windows with the legs/rear windows during transformation.

:This mold was used as the basis for the non-toy character [[Saitama Prime]].

:Released as part of a "preview" [[wave]] of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Deluxe Class assortment alongside [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Bumblebee is a relatively major retool of the Camaro Concept Bumblebee mold, feature a new vehicle front end, hood and wheels to reflect the changes to the prop vehicle used in the movie; and in robot mode has a new, more accurate head sculpt... that just so happens to have some very creepy painted eyes but still, it's accurate nonetheless.

:His right arm has also been replaced by an all-new sculpt which substitutes the hand and the hand-held converting plasma cannon/blade weapon from the previous version for a built-in plasma cannon with a spring-loaded firing gimmick for the included missile.

:The initial production run included a missile that was slightly too long for the slot inside the arm, so it either has to be slightly cut down to fit or the cannon must be swiveled outwards to accommodate the missile. This was fixed by a [[variant|running change]] that saw the missile slightly shortened, thus removing the problem.<ref name="missile1">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/bumblebee/1757/ Seibertron.com gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the early version with a slightly too long missile.</ref><ref name="missile2">[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/rotf/deluxe/bumblebee/ BWTF review of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], depicting the later version with a missile that fits in without a problem.</ref><ref name="missile3">[http://snakas.web.fc2.com/09movie/ra03bumblebee.html Autobase Aichi gallery of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' "Preview" Bumblebee], featuring a comparison of both versions of the missile.</ref> The later, corrected version was also released in other markets such as Japan and Europe.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-14'''

:This heavy retool of Bumblebee changes the entire upper half of the robot mode, and thus half of the car, to newly designed parts (essentially, only the legs are recycled from ''Movie'' Concept Camaro Bumblebee and the previous ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bumblebee; everything else is an entirely new sculpt), including more articulated arms with open palms, less obstructive vehicle [[kibble]], a differently transforming chest, and two flip-out (non-firing) missile launcher racks behind his head. Interestingly, his arms can be detached and easily popped onto the original mold, resulting in a more [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] robot mode, though this sacrifices transformation. This extensive retooling results in a car interior with seats and a crude dashboard, but the windows are so opaque that these new details can't easily be seen. A [[variant]] with clear blue windows was released in later shipments.<ref name="cannonbee">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/revenge-of-the-fallen/cannon-bumblebee/1855/2/92/ Comparison between both versions of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee.]</ref>

The base plastic colors and matching paint colors are virtually identical to those of Cannon Bumblebee, as are the [[Paint operation|paint masks]] for the most part.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 Missiles

:Human Alliance Bumblebee comes with a posable figure of [[Sam Witwicky]] that can fit inside in Bumblebee's vehicle mode (plugging into his seat via a small hole in his back) and drive him. In robot mode, Bumblebee's vehicle mode seats end up on his arms, and Sam can sit in either of them; the seat on Bumblebee's right has a headrest that can fold down to look slightly less conspicuous in robot mode, while the seat on Bumblebee's left arm features a pair of cannons which flip over Sam's shoulders, offering him some offensive hardware to protect his rather precarious position. These cannons can also be flipped down further to form some over-the-shoulder restraints. Sam can also stand on a platform that flips out from the small of Bumblebee's back (again, via peg-holes on his feet), manning a small non-firing cannon that flips out over Bumblebee's right shoulder. Finally, Bumblebee's left palm also contains a peg, meaning Sam can securely stand or sit in his big buddy's hand. Bumblebee himself features a spring-loaded cannon for his right arm, which can fire the two missiles the figure comes with, a flip-out double-barreled silver cannon that points over his head, and a functional flip-down battle mask. Much like the rest of his Human Alliance brethren, Bumblebee is roughly the same size as an ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' toy, being slightly taller than ''Alternators'' [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] in robot mode.

:[[File:Human Alliance Bumblebee Prototype.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Modders, vindicated by the prototype.]]
:There is a significant [[misassembly]] issue with Bumblebee: according to TakaraTomy's images of the resin [[prototype]] as well as Bumblebee's CG design, the retail toy's legs are on the wrong sides of his body, so the details on his legs are inverted. Since the instructions reflect this assembly, it's possible that this was [[design change|done on purpose]] because with the toy in its originally intended assembly, the waist section could be rather difficult to transform for children. The toy's originally intended assembly can still be [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/243649-human-alliance-bumblebee-leg-mod.html easily achieved by disassembling his crotch and reassembling the legs backwards.] Once this is complete, Bumblebee will look the way he was intended to look, while adding some minor extra steps during transformation.

:Plonk him down. Lift him up. Plonk him down. Lift him up. This addictive toy transforms automatically when stood up (vehicle to robot), or placed on his back (robot to vehicle). A switch underneath his feet or his car mode releases the transformation — so the toy can be played with in relatively stable modes if held in the air, or just rolling along the ground.

:Because gravity is the powering force in the transformation there's no motors to wear out or batteries to use up when playing with the toy. Which is good, because you will be transforming him no less than nine million times.

:Bumblebee features dumpy proportions and low movie accuracy (no door wings here), forced upon the toy to accommodate the [[Gravity Bot]]s transformation gimmick.

*'''Battle Blade Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-02'''

:This entirely new Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure for the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toy line]] features a much more accurate and articulated sculpt in robot mode compared to previous versions of Deluxe class Camaro Concept Bumblebee, with the [[transformation scheme]] taking many cues from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Human Alliance Bumblebee, scaled down to Deluxe size, while using an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] design for the leg transformation directly based on the original Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee. Despite the very similar looks, Battle Blade Bumblebee uses no parts from previous toys; everything about him is an entirely new sculpt.

:His right hand can be switched out for his cannon by opening the arm guard, flipping out the cannon barrel, folding away the right hand and folding the cannon over to the wrist. Due to how the parts were distributed on the plastic sprues during production, the cannon barrel is yellow rather than grey. The left arm-guard has a flip-out axe made of translucent blue plastic, representing the axe weapon Bumblebee uses in the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video games]], which itself may have been based upon the electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] that was once considered as a melee weapon for Bumblebee in the first movie. The axe is spring-loaded, activated by a button on his arm-guard. This version of Movie Bumblebee also features a flip-down battle mask, very similar to Human Alliance Bumblebee. In other words, pure premium awesome-sauce.

:His head has a tendency to pop off during transformation. The space at the front of the collar would give him ''just'' enough clearance to pass his head through... if it were not for the small plastic flap (the one with the [[Autobot]] symbol) on his chest, which tends to push and squeeze the head out enough that the tension causes the head to pop and fly out from his ball-jointed neck.

:Stock photos show that the axe was originally made in such a way that the blade was mounted on a rod and could be rotated downwards, but this was changed entirely for unknown reasons (possibly fragility). As a result, the blade is mounted upside-down.

:Due to his robot mode height, he stands ''nearly'' taller than Battle Blade Optimus Prime.

:The Japanese ''Autobot Alliance'' release features marginally darker yellow plastic and paint.

:A [[redeco]] of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Deluxe class Bumblebee, this version is fluorescent yellow and blue, possibly as an [[homage]] to ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]'s colors in the old [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comics]] by [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] (due to the limited color palette [[Nelson Yomtov]] was working with).

:A redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Cannon Bumblebee in a brighter yellow with dark pine green replacing the former toy's metallic teal. The windows are cast in transparent green plastic with green trim and the outsides of his arms are also painted green. Additionally, there is a green stripe running across and between the fenders on each side with green accents on the face and helmet as well. The face has been painted silver and lacks the pupils of the previous deco. His thumbs are now black and the tailpipes have been painted gunmetal. The tiny Autobot symbol by the driver's side door has been replaced with a larger white one on the right rear window. He came packaged with a Legends [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] redeco.

:Essentially a redeco of "Bombing Run Battle" Bumblebee (using the same shade of yellow plastic) but using the head of the [[#VsSoundwave|Battlefield Bumblebee]]. All of the green parts have been replaced with a chocolate brown (including the tires), with brown stripes over his eyes which run across the top of his battle helmet. The thumbs and insides of his upper arms are also painted brown. The windows are clear and untinted. He has a brown "wash" over his lower arms and on his doors to simulate caked on dirt or mud. There are also silver "scratches" on both doors as well as the driver's side of the hood. He has a tiny black-on-white Autobot symbol on his lower abdomen. Unlike previous versions of this mold, the rear lights, tailpipes, and lower front headlights are unpainted.

:He was packaged with redecoes of [[Rampage (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 2|Rampage]] and [[Ravage (ROTF)#RampageAmongTheRuins|Ravage]] and available exclusively at Toys "R" Us stores.

*'''Battle Ops Bumblebee''' (2010)

:Battle Ops Bumblebee is a large (roughly leader size) new mold with "guardian" and "warrior" robot modes, which changes weapons and sound effects. He has a flip down battle mask, a right arm that converts to a plasma cannon, and two non-firing light-up shoulder/hood missile launchers. His non-cannon hand has some articulation, but is tightly jointed. Although not mentioned in the instructions, the missile launchers can be collapsed on the back in robot mode. Also, you have to remove the plastic ring attached on the right cannon hand before you use the toy.

:As revealed at the Hasbro designers panel at [[BotCon 2010]], an easter egg is hidden in Battle Ops Bumblebee's electronics: when in vehicle mode, pressing down on the front left end of the vehicle (or pushing the front left wheel up) thrice will play the first verse of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''Transformers'']] [[theme song]], and three subsequent presses will play the second verse. Unfortunately, it only repeats the first two verses.

:A [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of the Bumblebee figure above, this release is advertised as having a "Limited Edition metallic finish!", being cast in gray plastic and painted over in metallic gold, and with his hand being cast in colorless clear plastic, making him very similar to his ''Masterpiece'' figure. Additionally, the tip of his cannon is [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]]. He comes with two "Great Value" toys: an unchanged Legends-Class [[Mudflap (ROTF)#BattleOpsCostco|Mudflap]] figure and a "Premium" vacuum-metallized gold redeco of Bumblebee's own ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends-Class figure.

:Canada received both English and French versions of this release - bizarrely, the French release is available in places outside Quebec such as Vancouver and even Alberta.

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece: Movie Series]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of Battle Ops Bumblebee. Unlike the Hasbro version, he features a very extensive paint job, including chromed rims, and features no yellow plastic despite his appearance. Instead, all of his yellow parts are painted over gray plastic to make it as [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] as possible. Among other notable plastic color changes, the [[TakaraTomy]] version features a clear colorless right hand (instead of translucent blue).

**''Japanese ID number'': '''MPM-3'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''2018-[[February 28|02-28]]'''
**''Accessories'': Removable Stinger Blaster

:After 7 years, this ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece Movie Series]]'' Bumblebee is a brand-new ''Masterpiece'' mold, based upon his body from the first live-action film. Does it convert? Does it ever!

:As usual, he transforms from a roughly Voyager-sized robot which scales with the Generation 1 ''Masterpiece'' Autobot Cars, into a Concept Camaro seen in the first live-action movie, and his right hand can be replaced with a Stinger Blaster. He also features die-cast parts on his bottom legs & his feet. His Stinger Blaster can store underneath it's vehicle mode.

:Some units feature misassembled waist tabs. Although stock photos shows his tire rims being painted silver, the actual product has tire rims painted in Chevy’s Midnight Silver, which was used as an optional paint for the 2010's Camaros. And unlike most Bumblebee figures, he was casted in rally yellow plastic rather than the usual orange-yellow.

:The Japanese release omits the paint applications on the eyes to allow for light piping, and it features a less dark shading on the blaster weapon. As with most TakaraTomy toys, It also uses black screws over unpainted screws.

:In the United States, Canada, Australia, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Bumblebee was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], as was TakaraTomy's Japanese release. He was also initially released in the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located at Singapore, limited to 300 pieces. In Spain, meanwhile, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Legion Class toys, Bumblebee is an all-new mold that takes basic design cues from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Bumblebee, but generally improves upon them by being more accurate in robot mode. His right hand is sculpted as his Plasma Cannon, while his left hand has the ability to hold onto Cyberverse [[C joint|3mm post]] weapons and interact with Cyberverse playsets.

:The final toy differs from promotional photos by being cast in a different color of plastic similar to previous releases of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] sculpt, while the promotional photos depict him in a lighter hue of yellow. Amusingly, this has already happened before and in almost the exact same way. History tends to repeat itself, folks.

:This mold was also used to make other versions of the Bumblebee (see below).

**''Accessories:'' Two-piece rifle

:[[Exclusive]] to [[Toys"R"Us]]'s Mission Earth series, this four pack contains two Bumblebee and two Starscream Cyberverse Legion toys. Cybertronian Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Legends Class]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], done up in live-action movie Bumblebee-style colors, while the other Bumblebee is a paint-heavy redeco of Bolt Bumblebee (see below), partially cast in translucent plastic and painted with a grid pattern to simulate a [[trans-scan]] effect. This Bumblebee also comes with a redecoed version of ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (MW)|Skywarp]]'s [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|gun]], which can be held in his newly retooled right hand. (This weapon is also depicted on Starscream's side of the instructions, confusing matters of ownership a bit.)

:Care must be taken while rolling Cybertronian Bumblebee's vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:The Bumblebees come packed with a [[retool]] of [[Movie (toyline)|''Transformers'']] Legends Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Starscream]] and a redeco of ''Legends of [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]].

:An early name for this set was "Cyberverse Evolution", which is still used by some websites (including the Australian and United Kingdom Toys"R"Us sites), but that name does not appear anywhere on the packaging.

:The [[stock photography|stock photo]] used for the [[packaging]] (which depicts a hand-painted prototype) shows him lacking the retooled hand. The other stock photo (see the image to the right), which depicts a pre-production sample, does show the retooled hand, but has the weapon's handle plugged into a conveniently fitting slot on his ''other'' arm for whatever reason.

:This three-pack was also available as an Asda exclusive in the United Kingdom and from Rossmann stores in Germany and Auchan stores in Hungary and Italy. Of note is that the [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] does ''not'' market Rodimus as a "bonus figure" (presumably so stores can charge full price for three toys), and his window lacks the yellow edges highlighting him as a special feature, despite still being separated from Bumblebee and Soundwave, who share a common window like in the US version. Despite this, Rodimus still doesn't get a mention on the back of the packaging, which only features a one-sentence "bio" about Bumblebee planning to bring down Soundwave in twelve different languages.

:All versions of the packaging also lack any logos that label the toys as Cyberverse products.

:Whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of his packaging (which feature a hand-painted [[prototype]]) correctly show him with only a Cyberverse-compatible right hand and an unchanged left hand, the other set of stock photos (which feature a pre-production sample) depicts him with ''two'' retooled hands. Whereas the version with the new right hand was redecoed for several store-exclusive multi-packs, no version available in stores has featured the new ''left'' hand thus far.

:Although the toy is listed as "Bolt Bumblebee" on the official Hasbro website, the United States version and early releases of the [[multilingual packaging|European version]] simply use the name "Bumblebee" everywhere on the packaging, and the "Bolt" prefix was apparently only added as a [[variant|running change]] for later shipments of the European version.

*'''Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/[[Plasma cannon|Plasma Cannon]]

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Bumblebee is an entirely new mold that resembles in many ways the 2010 toyline Battle Blade Bumblebee, and is much more accurate than previous Deluxe Bumblebees. In addition to the cosmetic changes made to the vehicle mode and robot mode to resemble the third movie's altered visual design, this Bumblebee also comes with a [[MechTech]] weapon. When a lever is pulled back on the "Blaster" weapon, it opens up into a larger "Plasma Cannon", but it springs back into its original position once the lever is left alone. The MechTech weapon can be held in his hands, attach via [[5mm post|5mm pegholes]]/MechTech ports on his forearms, or plug in a "concealed" 5mm peghole on the vehicle mode's roof. Two extraneous 5mm peg holes are also located on his vehicle mode hood flap, and can be flipped up and used in robot mode to shoulder-mount weapons beside his head. Additionally, [[C joint]] bars are sculpted into Bumblebee's forearms.

:Bumblebee can form a semi-Stealth Force configuration by lifting up the rear half of his roof, exposing concealed cannons sculpted in translucent blue plastic. Also of note in vehicle mode is the sculpted Camaro SS badging near the doors, which doesn't appear on any other ''Dark of the Moon'' Bumblebee toy or the prop vehicles used for filming.

:Just like his CG robot model, his [[package art]] depicts his racing stripes being pinstripe-bordered despite his toy no longer having it. Whoops.

:Bumblebee is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release. This mold was also used to make ''Movie The Best'' [[Laserbeak (DOTM)#Movie The Best|Laserbeak]].

*'''Nitro Bumblebee''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA18'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Cybertronian Boost Engine/Plasma Cannon

:Nitro Bumblebee is an all-new mold, featuring booster engines, armour plating and other Stealth Force-like design elements sculpted onto the vehicle mode. He transforms rather differently to most of the other Deluxe class Bumblebee molds, with much of the entire front of the car being articulated chest pieces rather than the usual front fenders separating from the rest of the chest. Also of note are his legs, which are considerably different in appearance and transformation to the standard set by the 2007 ''Transformers'' Deluxe class (Camaro Concept) Bumblebee, with the rear wheels ending up inside of his ankle. Like the Leader Class toy, he features sculpted (but unpainted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]]s in both modes, making it the first time the license plate used for the car props from all three movies is used for a Deluxe Class toy.

:He comes with a MechTech Boost Engine, which converts into a Plasma Cannon when the lever is pulled, and although it is similar in function and appearance to [[Skids (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Skids]]'s MechTech blaster, it is in actuality an entirely new mold. He features five MechTech ports in vehicle mode: one on the hood, two of the roof and two behind his rear wheels. In robot mode, both of his arms have one MechTech port each, and the ports from vehicle mode can still be used.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Plasma Cannon

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] Bumblebee (also sold at Sainsbury's stores in the United Kingdom) is a redeco of the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe Class Concept Camaro Bumblebee, with the standard production model Chevrolet Camaro front end as compared to the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' ZL1 version and the first reuse of the 2007 mold, both hands and the hand-held [[plasma cannon]]/energy blade weapon. However, he ''does'' have the retooled shoulder panels that are held in place with screws (first introduced with ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Alliance Bumblebee).

:Bumblebee features many different ''Transformers'' [[insignia]]s from across different continuities, namely; [[:File:Ancient Autobot Symbol.png|Generation 1 Prehistory Autobot]], [[:File:Minicon symbol.png|Armada Mini-Con]], [[:File:Sumdac Systems.PNG|Animated Sumdac Systems]], [[:File:Playschool Go-Bots G.png|Playschool Go-Bot]], [[S.T.A.R.S.]], "FLY [[Omega Supreme (disambiguation)|Ω SUPREME]]", [[G.B.

:The [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging are quite strange, depicting a significantly different deco, with the primary color for his vehicle mode gradually fading from yellow to red towards the bottom, and parts of his abdomen sporting the same red color. In addition, his handheld weapon's blade sports a clear blue color. The final toy, by contrast, features no red at all, and his blade is cast in clear black plastic. Furthermore, the stock photos depict his eyes as bright blue, whereas the final toy's eyes are painted black. On top of that, the stock photos contradict ''each other'', with the photo of his robot mode depicting clear blue windows, whereas the photo of his vehicle mode depicts opaque ''black'' windows.

: An all new mold, this version of Bumblebee is smaller than his previous Leader-sized incarnations and, ''technically'', is his first Leader-class toy. Along with the update to his Dark of the Moon form, this is also the first toy to feature a (sculpted) "900 STRA" [[license plate]] (the one used for the prop cars for all three movies). Being different in proportions to his other toys, this Bumblebee seems to have inspired his later "[[#NitroBee|Nitro Bumblebee]]" toy, having a much bulkier torso and smaller arms, with the entire hood pieces being deformed into his chest.

: The main gimmick is that he comes with a massive MechTech backpack, which hooks onto his back window/back, and is the sole electronic component of the toy. It resembles a [[jet pack|jet-pack]], and features missile pods and a cannon, all of which emit lights and sounds when pressed, and can be positioned for either robot or vehicle mode. Pressing the missile pod housings will emit orange lights and play the sound of a barrage of missiles being launched, while pressing the cannon will prop up a targeting sight, emit green lights, and play the sound of the cannon deploying/charging and firing a powerful-sounding blast. The weapons can be deployed/retracted when the brown panel on the top-left of the backpack is slid, making the [[Transformation#The noise|transformation noise]] in the process (with an additional mechanical impact sound after deploying). There are a total of five MechTech ports and four [[C joint]] bars on the backpack, with a port and bar on each missile pod, a port on the side of the cannon barrel, a port on the sliding panel, a port on the top-center of the backpack, and a bar on top of each battery compartment.

: Bumblebee can also transform into his [[Stealth Force]] attack vehicle mode, wherein his hood portions split forward and open, his doors open and hinge up, his robot arms swing out from the sides to aim, his plasma cannon extends, and his backpack is attached and deployed, with dedicated pegs to help secure his doors, arms, and shoulders. Finally, like a few other Bumblebee toys, he also features a flip-down battle mask.

: Unfortunately, while Bumblebee has rotational leg [[articulation]], they're ''below'' the knees, limiting their usefulness. Even more unfortunately, while he's perfectly stable on his own, plugging in his backpack in robot mode will make him ''very'' back-heavy, resulting in significant balance issues and limitation of posability due to his [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joint]]s not being strong enough to handle the additional weight on one side. Posing him to lean forwards or posing his legs further to his back may remedy this.

: His secondary stock photos is slightly mistransformed: his shoulder collars are not folded out. Ironically; this mistranformation ''also allows'' the head to move slightly freely.

*'''Bumblebee''' (2011)

:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Bumblebee figure (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. Transformation consists of positioning him on the large blue section to the rear of his vehicle mode and pressing down, causing his components to shift around and reveal his robot parts; from there, one just has to rotate out his arms. Transformation back to vehicle mode is done by reversing the steps.

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

:[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/110058-question-robo-power-activators/ At least one report] has surfaced of a brand-new figure missing one of the locking tabs that work the spring-loaded transformation mechanism, leaving the figure unable to transform properly.

**''Accessories:'' 2 throwing stars

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK and Germany, this two-pack contains another brand new Bumblebee sculpt based on the new form he acquires part way through the ''Age of Extinction'' film. Bumblebee transforms into a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept, and includes two 'fake kibble' hubcaps, which can be screen-accurately mounted on his back, removed and held as throwing star weapons, or store underneath his vehicle mode. Additionally, his right forearm features a flip out cannon, and his head sports a flip down battle mask (which is horribly inaccurate to the actual battle mask in the film). Bumblebee cannot transform into vehicle mode with his Shurikens pegged on his back.

: The two-pack also includes a 'Classic' Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Legends Class Bumblebee]], cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon. In most regions, this pack was released ahead of the ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe figure's single-carded release.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release. Take note that this was also the first Japanese release of the 2014 Camaro Bumblebee mold, 7 days ''before'' it's ''Movie Advanced'' Series release (seen below).

The Japanese release of the toy, released as part of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' lineup (7 days after the original Hasbro Bumblebee mold from the Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee released in Japan), features paint operations on his robot mode's arms, thighs, & his eyes...although this neuters the light-piping gimmick.

:Most promotional images featuring this figure (like the one above), except the ones from Takara, have Bumblebee mistransformed, with his shoulders not folded down correctly and his front bumper/grille not folded down into his chest.

Other than this, the paint masks are ''completely identical'' to the original mold, with an exception of the flip-out cannon & his blade, which is chromed.

For the United States, the 2-pack was announced to be excusive to [[Walmart]], but was ultimately only available via Walmart's online store, and was found at discounter Ross around the same time. Internationally, the 2-pack was also available via other exclusive venues, namely Asda in the United Kingdom; Prisma in Finland; Walmart in Mexico; Bart Smit and Intertoys (owned by the same parent company) in the Netherlands; Intertoys in Germany; and ICA Hemma in Sweden.

:Part of the first wave of Transformers: The Last Knight Knight Armor Turbo changers, Knight Armor Bumblebee transforms into a modified yellow and black Chevrolet Camaro, by pulling his front vehicle/shoulder parts, although you have to convert him back to a vehicle manually. Bumblebee also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which involves pressing the button on his upper chest to activate his spring-loaded battle mask. He's also one of the first few toys released that feature Bumblebee's featured alt mode from the movie.

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

**''Series'': '''1''' & '''2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''E'''

:[[Tiny Turbo Changers]] Bumblebee is a small, stumpy, soft-plastic [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] mini-figure that changes from robot to a Concept Camaro 2016 with just a few simple steps. He features hands that are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other 3mm post accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle-mode tires do not spin, sorry. His legs are attached backwards in package (as seen at right). However, his legs can be easily dismantled from the hood/feet & the waist, flipping the legs backwards, and reassembled.

:Despite bearing the Concept Camaro 2016-ish vehicle mode, his robot mode sculpt and paint applications resemble his appearance in ''Age of Extinction''.

:He and the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Optimus Prime]] were available in the first two Series of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases. Not even their bag codes changed. Their instruction books were updated to say "Series 2". It was unknown if this release had correctly assembled legs. Bumblebee was released yet again in series 3, making it the only mold to be released in each series unchanged.

[[File:TF-TLK-Premier-Edition-Bumblebee-variants.jpg|left|230px|thumb|"I'll change my paintjob so I can fool everyone that I changed into a new car!"]]
:Bumblebee was re-released in the second wave of the Premier Edition Deluxe line, and now features a black section on the car roof & the rear section of the vehicle shell. The easiest way to identify the variant is by looking at the bottom rear piece while the figure is in-package, as the black paint can be seen through the clear plastic. This variant also applies to the TakaraTomy release of the figure. The initial variant is less common.

:TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

**''Accessories'': Detachable Stinger Blaster

:This Deluxe Class Bumblebee is an entirely new mold, transforming from a robot based on his appearance in ''The Last Knight'' into a 2017 Concept Camaro. He also comes with a "Stinger Blaster" arm cannon, which replaces his left arm, or stores underneath his robot mode back. The arm can also be wielded as a handgun via its 5mm post.
:On many copies of this toy, the pegs securing the feet come undone easily, making the feet really floppy, while some parts like the "wings" are prone to becoming detached. Despite what the instructions say, the left arm should be pulled sideways out of the joint instead of down to prevent breakage of the connection. In several occasions, the only way to secure the feet's pegs is by pressing the pieces together firmly. (Make sure the pieces are properly adjusted.)

:The TakaraTomy stock photo of the robot mode has the waist kibble slightly mistranformed.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-EX'''
**''Accessories'': 2 projectiles (1977 Camaro Bumblebee), Missile (1967 Camaro Bumblebee), Detachable Arm Cannon (2016 Camaro Bumblebee)

:''[[Transformers: Tribute]]'' Bumblebee Evolution 3-pack consists of redecos of [[Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys|the first Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure from the 2007 Movie]], [[Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_5| High Octane Bumblebee from ''Age of Extinction'']], and the most recent, [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#ThirdTLKDeluxe|second ''Premier Edition'' Bumblebee figure]]. The 3-pack features particularly unique packaging, modeled after a garage, complete with graffiti.

:For the 1977 Camaro Bumblebee figure, he unfortunately uses the opaque windows used for the Hasbro release. It's currently unknown if the mold uses the fixed Automorph gimmick. Paint operations on this Bumblebee are minimized compared to his original release, omitting the battle damage on the vehicle mode and some smaller details of his robot mode such as the blue stripes on his thighs and parts of his face. He does not use the painted stripes for the Automorph button used from the Evolution of a Hero 2-pack.

:The 1967 Camaro Bumblebee figure keeps the paint layout of its original "High Octane" release, but features several plastic color differences: The yellow parts are changed from a darker, more orange-y tone to the same lighter shade of yellow plastic shared among all the figures in this set, with the yellow paint operations and tampographs in vehicle mode changed accordingly, all the charcoal-colored parts are replaced by black plastic, the missile (and all of the unpaintable plastic joints) is changed from black to yellow, and the baby blue paint operations for the eyes are changed to a darker tone.

:The 2017 Camaro Bumblebee figure features smoky translucent plastic in his windows as opposed to the original's entirely transparent ones. The Hasbro stock photo for his robot mode still depicts him holding his arm cannon as a gun.

:The set also saw release as an Amazon Japan exclusive.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2018]])
**''Number'': '''01'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-01'''
**''Accessories'': Detachable Stinger Blaster, right arm, Police Chase backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Bumblebee is an ''extremely heavy'' retool of [[#ThirdTLKDeluxe|''The Last Knight Premier Edition'' Bumblebee]], with a new vehicle shell and some body parts (mostly the lower section), and due to this, Bumblebee ends up being slightly smaller than the original mold (and more to scale with the ''Studio Series'' toys). In 22 steps, he transforms into a yellow 1976 Chevrolet Camaro based on his appearance in the first live-action ''Transformers'' movie. He includes a cardboard backdrop display depicting the encounter with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. He also includes a blaster similar to the one from the ''Premier Edition'' figure, though slighty downscaled, with some minor sculpting differences and, most importantly, mirrored to fit the right instead of the left arm ''and'' featuring a different connection method, thus being able to pop off with ease. The leg joints' floppy connection is also amended from the previous mold. Bumblebee features a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake]] front grill on his robot mode chest, which the real grill slides over in vehicle mode. He also features rectangular holes on his lower front bumper, the rocker panels, the rear end of the front hood, and the lower valance.

:Depending on the individual sample's quality control, Bumblebee has some problems with parts refusing to lock together and continually detaching from their proper position, while the right arm's pivoting joint easily pops off. His lack of pins also makes the transformation, if followed by the instructions, ''absolute hell'', as many of his vehicle mode parts may fall off. Thankfully, [https://youtu.be/bm921hDELGM ways] have been found to transform him to help remedy this problem. Also, while converting into vehicle mode; don't fold down the lower yellow leg pieces at the same time. Doing so can collide both parts and leaves a small but glaring paint chip.

:Bumblebee, along with the rest of Wave 1 Deluxes, was made available at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] following New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], two months ahead of the scheduled brick and mortar release. The second run of the toy features a running change that eventually amends the quality control issues that plagued the first run. The fixed version's date code is written as "80201". Sadly some copies carrying this code still have the QC issues from the original figure.

:This ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is a redeco of the 01 Deluxe Class toy above, featuring new customizable parts (bumper, rocker panels, spoilers, hoods) for his vehicle mode to evoke the look of a muscle car (while making use on the rectangular holes from the original toy), though it prevents him to fully transform into robot mode while being attached on (with an exception of the car hood), and he also includes two different options for a spoiler and the hood in car mode. The set includes a Charlie Watson figurine wearing a shirt with the ''Bumblebee'' logo. Compared to the first ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee toy, he loses the striping on the vehicle shells, the silver toes & his chest flap (probably meant to invoke his appearance in the prequel movie), and the Stinger blaster's upper section. Instead, a vast sticker sheet is included with multiple different decals to customize the figure.

:This ''Studio Series'' Bumblebee is an all-new mold that transforms from a robot based of the ''Bumblebee'' film into a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle and back! He also comes with a detachable right Gatling Gun arm, an arm blade that can be attached to his any of his arms, and a normal face that can be switched out for a battle mask. All of his additional accessories can be attached to the underside of his car or to his back in robot mode. The exception is one of his faces, which, hangs off his car window. He is the smallest figure in the ''Studio Series'', most likely due to his small stature in the ''Bumblebee'' film itself. The figure is also inaccurate in having car doors similar to the past live-action films, despite the character in film not having them. This is most likely due to concept art differing from the film.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Speed Series, 2018)

:Another new mold based on Bumblebee's appearance in the 2007 movie, he now transforms into a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro. While the figure's engineering is improved compared to the [[Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Legends_Class_toys|first Legends Class figure]], the vehicle mode's deco is inspired by the 2011 Camaro. It should be noted that the unpainted black patch on the car roof (which is molded in unpaintable plastic) also cleverly evokes the car's striping.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro Transformers Special Edition''' (2009)

:Starting [[June 1]], 2009, [[General Motors|Chevrolet]] began taking orders for the Bumblebee Edition package for the 2009/2010 Chevy Camaro. The package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color with black "Bumblebee" stripes, as well as "''Transformers''" badging on the wheel center caps, sill plates, and embroidered console lid. The package was available for Camaro LT and SS models.

:Production of the Transformers Special Edition ceased on [[January 12]], [[2010]], and with an estimated 1,500 Camaro to have been produced straight from order workbenches.<ref>[http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48563 "Camaro changes - Aqua Blue and Transformers Edition to end; high wing spoiler; hurst". Camaro5.com]</ref> Though production for this full package (with an order of a new Camaro) has ceased, the individual parts that made up the package can still be purchased through authorised GM accessory dealers. However, inspection of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) would reveal if the Camaro was a true Transformers Special Edition or an after-market clone.

*'''Chevrolet Camaro 2012 Transformers Special Edition''' (2011)

:In conjunction with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Chevrolet began taking orders for the 2012 Transformers Special Edition package for the Chevy Camaro in July 2011, with vehicles arriving at dealers in the U.S., and Canada in September of the same year. Based upon the Bumblebee Camaro prop as it appears in ''Dark of the Moon'', the package consists of Rally Yellow exterior color, with black rally stripes that stretched over the hood, roof, and decklid, a ''Dark of the Moon''-inspired high-wing rear spoiler, 20-inch, black-painted wheels with performance tires, and Autobot Shield logos on the center caps and front quarter panels.

[[File:ChevyCamaro2012TransformersSpecialEdition optionals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Of course it's a toy, too! It's just an adult-only, no touching, thirty thousand dollar toy.]]

:Inside, the package has a black leather interior accented with yellow stitching on the instrument panel, center console, armrests, and seats. Autobot Shield logos were embroidered on the front headrests and the center console lid.

:Additionally, two dealer-installed options were available: exclusive, 21-inch, black-painted wheels, and a black ground-effects package.

==Notes==
*A weapon considered for Bumblebee was a pair of arm-mounted electrical [[Stinger (weapon)|stingers]]. The Bumblebee Camaro '09 toy's blade weapon might have been influenced by this early concept.
*[[Aaron Archer]] mentioned that when Hasbro received pictures of numerous toys of Bumblebee [[shelfwarmer|shelf-warming]], they finally realized that they had indeed gone overboard with his toys. Archer suggested a need for a certain amount of yellow-colored toys in each wave, hence the large amount of Bumblebees released per wave.

2018-08-31T02:09:17Z

MisterKenneth: /* I don't understand */

Do you have a quote of Sentinel being specifically mentioned in the comic? I don't remember anything past the uni scene. While the original thirteen were killed by the Fallen in the comic and novel, there's nothing to confirm Sentinel wasn't a descendant like Optimus. Again, correct me if I'm wrong[[User:Eire]] 20.14 Oct 12 09 (UTC)
:"See, if you break down the elemental components of energon and assume a constant decay rate then extrapolate for each of the fourteen galactic convergences it took '''''Sentinel Prime's''''' expedition to get an echo you end up with a formula for inter-dimensional energy that mass and light alone can't '''''possibly''''' explain." - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 17:28, 12 October 2009 (EDT)
::Erm ok, thanks for the quote Starfield, anyway, Jetfire explained in the adaptations that The Fallen returned to Cybertron, after the battle with the first generation for Earth, slaughtering all the Primes except for the child hidden from him (Optimus). Unless Sentinel is revealed to be alive in TF3, which is unlikely considering this was not mentioned in the final edit of ROTF, then he probably died because of The Fallen. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 17:57, 12 October 2009 (EDT)
:::Starfield, I actually wanted the answer Alientraveller gave. I'm well aware of Sentinel's existence in the movieverse, but I just couldn't remember a reference in issue 3 [[User:Eire]]

::"the fourteen galactic convergences it took '''the''' Sentinel Prime expedition to"
::"The", and no possessive.
::Look, '''I''' think it's the leader of the 7/12/13 too... but the phrasing in the movie itself (which I just checked on, er... Youtube) '''isn't''' clear-cut enough to even say for certain that Sentinel Prime is an individual-- let alone that he's one of the 12! The phrasing is just... ambiguous, and the timeline is a godawful mess thanks to ROTF's 17,000 years retcon, and questions of whether the 13 in the movie are '''the''' 13 or not. (They're not. I mean... the movie fucking cut them down to 7. But until something official comes through to make it certain... it's just a collosal brain-ache that makes logical inference almost impossible.)
::Now... I ''thought'' that something... (a book or video game?) mentioned movieverse Sentinel Prime in a clearer light, but if so... it was around the time we were swamped with new stuff, and the ref never got documented. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?
::I have checked the following sources, and they do '''not''' mention Sentinel Prime in a helpful manner:
::*ROTF novelization (quote same as movie, with an added bit at the end. Nothing from Jetfire's history lesson or the Infinite White.)
::*The Movie Universe guidebook. No mention of Sentinel Prime by name
::-[[User:Derik|Derik]] 23:59, 12 October 2009 (EDT)
:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You'd be forgiven for presuming, and really there's no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he's simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you're concerned, throw in a note at the bottom. Personally, I think it's a bit of an assumption that Sentinel in the comics is one of the original Primes, but I can see why AT put it the way he did [[User:Eire]] 13.35 Oct 13 09 (UTC)

== Fannon ==

I'm '''really''' uncomfortable witht he ammoutn of assumptions and made-up shit on this page. The cited blog post ''does'' establish Sentinel Prime to be a character-- but it doesn't ''in any way'' say he's Prime and Megatron's father, or that he's one of the original 12. And the storylink citing his death... Sentinel Prime's name isn't even MENTIONED in that issue! -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 12:37, 13 October 2009 (EDT)

In DotM he was the major plot-driving character voiced by an actor with decades of Transformers association; in RotF he was about a syllable and a half of incoherent mumbling. Unlike Arcee in the first movie franchise, S.P. didn't even get a toy in RotF. For the sake of clarity and the casual browser, might his entry be attached to the film in which he actually appears? Is there perhaps a more general title, even, to indicate immediately that this article fully encompasses the one singular character throughout the Bay films' continuity family?

Definitely not. It might just be the way I interpreted his lines and mood but he seemed almost disgusted that he felt he had to make a deal with the Decepticons to save Cybertron. I certainly don't think he sees himself as one of them at all. Just an Autobot traitor. [[Special:Contributions/86.31.67.9|86.31.67.9]] 11:15, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

:::In the comic book adaptation, at least, he calls himself the "true leader of the Autobots", and claims that ''Optimus'' is the traitor. So, that should be absolute, explicit proof that he's considered an Autobot.[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.165|192.249.47.165]] 14:08, 21 July 2011 (EDT)
::::He essentially usurps control of the Decepticons from Megatron (as evidenced by Carley statements to Megatron), commands them AS HIS OWN FORCES (And in fact the Decepticons are his only forces in the film) and tries to have all of the Autobots killed, not to mention he admits to having beleived the war to be unwinable by the Autobots thus striking a deal with Megatron and Megatron seeming to have accepted him as an equal with SENTINEL being the one trying to subdue MEGATRON.I see no reason that we shouldn't put him as a Decepticon seeing whos side he's on in the film. He doesn't seem to have any intention of commanding the Autobots at all. Sentinel's got much more of a case then Lockdown who simply sides with the Decepticons more often than the Autobots due to the higher pay they give him but still works with the Autobots like when he helps that series' Sentinel to roundup Decepticons whereas Sentinel here (as I mentioned earlier) actually takes command of the Decepticons.) --[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 04:03, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Hey, I thought he was BIG jerk too.(Never seen the movie though.)
Maybe Sentinel(TFA) wanted to get revenge on Optimus(TFA).
So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.
His audition was successful. All he needed to do was change his alternate mode to make sure nobody knew it was him.
When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).
However,on set he was killed. And it was caught on film!
Let's just say there is more than meets the eye with Sentinel.

I've noticed that Sentinal Primes design kinda looks Robots In Disquise Optimus. Think this was intentional? {{unsigned|Captain-lelouch|05:30, 17 August 2011 (EDT)}}
:It does? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 05:33, 17 August 2011 (EDT)
::Not really. They share similar altmodes, but that comes with the territory of being a fire truck. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 05:42, 17 August 2011 (EDT)
I was thinking the alt. mode, the standered window-moobs for all Primes, and the lader being on RID Optimus's Battle Mode's back looks kind of like Sentinal's cape --[[User:Captain-lelouch|Captain-lelouch]] 07:15, 17 August 2011 (EDT)
: Not even if RID Prime had window moobs in his combined form. It's a coincidence. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:00, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

== Decepticon Or Not==
Since the movie's out on DVD and Blueray now I'm putting it out in the open: Why aren't we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as "true leader of the Autobots" and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel's giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn't be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn't even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them. I would even go so far as to say Sentinel can be considered a Decepticon Leader all things considered.--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 13:44, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

:'''''NO.'''''
:But you raise a good question. Why ''do'' we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream's page?

I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and '''''still''''' called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for '''''1''''' '''''episode''''' of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-'''''allied''''' Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)

No he's not a Decepticon. He just allies with them against the other Autobots. He doesn't actually join the Decepticon club and geta membership card or anything. In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them. Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn't automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)
==Animated==
I guess everyone already knows this, but should we mention in the notes section that Sentinel's sword-thing and sheild are a reference to Sentinel Prime from Transformers: Animated? It might actually just be a coincidence, but I think it was done on purpose.[[User:XxxOUTBURSTxxx|XxxOUTBURSTxxx]] 20:13, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
: Animated Sentinel Prime does not have a sword, but a lance. I'm certain it was a coincidence. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:18, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
:I'm fine about it being a coincidence, but that's why I wrote "sword-thing", not a sword specifically.[[User:XxxOUTBURSTxxx|XxxOUTBURSTxxx]] 16:40, 15 March 2012 (EDT)

==Disambiguation==
why Sentinel Prime(roft)? Sentinel Prime(dotm)--[[User:Shockwave1704|Shockwave1704]] 16:46, 15 March 2012 (EDT)
: Because Sentinel Prime was first mentioned in ROTF. He's a character from that movie first. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:47, 15 March 2012 (EDT)
::ah when Sam become mad? but Sentinel is seen only in tf 3 --[[User:Shockwave1704|Shockwave1704]] 08:20, 16 March 2012 (EDT)
:::Doesn't matter, that counts. Thus Sentinel originated in ROTF and receives that as his disambiguation tag. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:09, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

ok, if you think so i agree with you --[[User:Shockwave1704|Shockwave1704]] 10:16, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

==Question on Continuity of Bios==
So all of Sentinel Prime's toy bios go out of their way to say how he's a huge hero of Cybertron, even the Dark Sentinel Prime Cyberverse figure that has a scratched out Autobot symbol on the sides has a bio that states he's "Dark" because he's in space. This'd be understandable if half the figures hadn't come out long after the film was out of theaters, but that's not the case. Should this be added as an actual story continuity section or just a note?--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 18:18, 22 April 2012 (EDT)

== Decepticon leader ==

He may not be a Decepticon, but couldn't he still be listed at the bottom as a Decepticon Leader? He pretty clearly controlled them during Chicago. --[[Special:Contributions/24.69.64.254|24.69.64.254]] 17:50, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
:He's not really a "Decepticon Leader" in the typical sense, though, is he? He's an Autobot who commanded some Decepticons. Megatron was, of course, very insistent that he was still official leader of the 'Cons. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 17:55, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

== Needs of the many ==

When Sentinel says the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, aren't there currently more humans than Transformers though? [[User:Bioniclepluslotr|Bioniclepluslotr]] ([[User talk:Bioniclepluslotr|talk]]) 10:55, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
: He might not consider the humans to count. It's probably fair to call this some sort of hypocrisy. [[User:Nemesis Primal|Nemesis Primal]] ([[User talk:Nemesis Primal|talk]]) 22:18, 26 June 2014 (EDT)

== I don't understand ==

I just got started here, so if I come off as annoying, I ask that you take this with a pinch of salt.

What I don't understand is why this incarnation of Sentinel Prime cannot be categorized as a Decepticon turncoat, when he technically was, and for a time he was categorized as one.

The way I see it, he's what I would call a "Decepticon in denial" and "Autobot in name only" during the events of Dark of the Moon. Even though he professed and thought of himself as an Autobot still, his actions in DOTM were less of an Autobot and more of a Decepticon. Since you know, he nonchalantly killed Ironhide (and the Twins in some adaptations), attempted to enslave humans, something Autobots vow to never do, took control of the Decepticons away from Megatron and kinda became their leader for a short period of time, something not everyone can admit to doing, and almost killed Optimus Prime, which he would've if Megatron hadn't interfered. He even later admitted to betraying the Autobots shortly before Optimus rightfully executed him. These are the kind of things an Autobot, especially an Autobot leader, wouldn't do, but a Decepticon would.

I think having him listed as an Autobot later turned Decepticon makes sense. Obviously Sentinel wouldn't think of himself as a Decepticon, but his actions I think spoke louder than his words. [[User:MisterKenneth|- MisterKenneth]]
:Acting evil and doing something a Decepticon would doesn't make you a Decepticon. Now if there is an official source saying he is/was a Decepticon, then yes. But if he is just a corrupted Autobot, then he isn't a Decepticon, or a Predacon, or a Vehicon (other evil factions). You could just as easily say he acts like a Predacon or Vehicon because he is evil. [[User:Notirishman|--notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 21:10, 30 August 2018 (EDT)
:Generally, it is the wiki's stance that, unless a character vocally announces that they are changing sides, are shown replacing their faction with a different one, or something similar, then they're still a member of the faction they belonged to previously — even if they're not acting the way their faction "should" act. There are several other "Autobots gone bad" (e.g. [[Pharma]]) who willingly collude with the Decepticons, and even some "good Decepticons" who work with the Autobots (e.g. [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW's Soundwave]]) but since they never replace their original badges, we still count them as members of their original factions. [[User:Grum|Grum]] ([[User talk:Grum|talk]]) 21:38, 30 August 2018 (EDT)
::So you don't go by their actions then? Personally I felt like what had really indoctrinated Sentinel as a Decepticon is when he took control of Megatron's forces, something [[Starscream_(G1)|G1 Starscream]] could only dream of successfully achieving, but I guess that was just me then. [[User:MisterKenneth|- MisterKenneth]]

You make a good point, though I'm a bit more confused. In a way, shouldn't Lockdown be treated like this as well? He was officially said to be a Decepticon, though he had no association with them in Age of Extinction. [[User:MisterKenneth|- MisterKenneth]]
:He was a Decepticon according to his ROTF toy and his AOE Deluxe toy. [[User:Notirishman|--notirishman]] ([[User talk:Notirishman|talk]]) 21:46, 30 August 2018 (EDT)
::That's what I was referring to, at least for his AOE figure. I wasn't thinking about his ROTF one, since it came out long before AOE was ever a thing. That's official information, yet it's absolutely inaccurate about his appearance in AOE. I guess it probably has to do with the distributors, considering the bios of Sentinel's figures never addressed his treachery. [[User:MisterKenneth|- MisterKenneth]]
