:''Swindle is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]] and ALSO a bunch of mass-produced drones on both sides.''

[[Image:Swindle.jpg|right|500px|thumb|KABOOOM! Heh heh heh heh heh.]]
'''Swindle''' is one of many Decepticons ordered to [[Earth]] by [[Megatron (Movie)| Megatron]] to cause havoc for the Autobot forces there. He's well suited to the task. Swindle is not a great fighter, and more, he's dumb as a post, but he takes great glee in blowing things (any "things") to pieces, and that's worth something, right? Generally he leaps and hops around the battlefield like a madman, blasting explosives out of his chest cannon and laughing uncontrollably. Havoc is a given when he's around. He's also an enthusiastic but unfortunately ineffectual interrogator. But don't get him started on <s>Jolt</s> [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]], he hates him for some reason.

Sometimes there are lots of him.

On both sides.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
{{note|Swindle is inexplicably often-depicted with modern-[[Earth]] car [[kibble]] on him when he is seen on pre-Earth-contact [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] centuries before the automobile was invented... while Bumblebee and the other Autobots do not. Hm.}}

Many years ago, Swindle was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[Defense Force]], under the command of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After the discovery of a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] and an alien attack, {{Storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} Megatron changed significantly, altering the military's mission from one of protection of their homeworld to the new aim of making war upon the hostile aliens and anybody who would stand in their way. Swindle was present at Megatron's war rally in [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], where the military leader demanded the control of all of Cybertron's forces in his vengeful attack on the [[Eshems alien|aliens]] from the [[Eshems Nebula]]. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

When Megatron consulted with the relic and decided to capture science division leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and eliminate his associated "traitors", Swindle was awaiting orders with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s group. He survived the botched ambush on Optimus and joined Megatron's new "Decepticon" faction. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[Image:MoviePrequel1_Swindle_interrogation.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Given his intelligence stat we're impressed he managed that coherent a sentence.]]

During the subsequent civil war, Swindle was in charge of torturing the location of the [[AllSpark]] out of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s team after their capture at [[Tyger Pax]]. Even though he killed one of the team, he failed to extract any information from them, but succeeded at pissing off [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], who dismissed all of his underlings... then promised the relieved Swindle a slow and torturous death.

Luckily for Swindle, Megatron took off into space and was lost before he was able to follow through on his threats. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

Later, Swindle was part of the crew of Starscream's ship, which pursued the AllSpark and Megatron to the Eshems Nebula. They were forced to turn back for repairs when the ship was damaged by an Autobot [[concussion chain]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

After Megatron's death and the destruction of the AllSpark, Autobots attacked the Decepticons' ship on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] as Starscream recuperated. Numerous drones, including Swindle units, [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] units and [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] units were deployed to fight off [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] team. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} Later, Swindle units were among those in Dreadwing's army that helped build Starscream's [[Replica AllSpark|new AllSpark Cube]] {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} and were subsequently involved in Dreadwing's failed coup. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[Image:Alliance4_Swindle_dies.jpg|thumb|250px|]]

The main Swindle, meanwhile, had become a member of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave's]] crew, and was sent down to [[San Francisco]] on [[Earth]] to blow stuff up as a diversionary tactic. He was sent with [[Dead End (Movie)|Dead End]], who he hates. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}} Their actions attracted the attention of the newly-formed [[N.E.S.T.]] military alliance between the Autobots and humans, though they didn't distract their enemies for long. Dead End was almost immediately destroyed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], while Swindle was defeated by a tag team consisting of his old nemesis [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]. Before he died, Swindle delivered an ominous warning that none of them were safe, and the Decepticons would find "[[Star harvester|it]]". {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}
{{-}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' comics===
A lone Swindle manned a Decepticon outpost that [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and his cadets stormed. Faced with Ironhide's bigger-than-Texas cannon, the lone Swindle silently surrendered. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

{{note|The following events occur in an alternate timeline/continuity where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.}}

[[Image:Optimus Titan22.JPG|left|250px|thumb|Time to get a new job, guys.]]

Swindles were part of the occupation force on Earth. One guarded the Denver tunnel entrance to a facility where [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s body was being held (until Bumblebee beat him up). {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}}

Later, after Starscream had taken power, a Swindle and [[Crankcase (Movie)|Crankcase]] were confused by Starscream talking to himself and fondly remembered their old boss Megatron... right before Optimus landed on their heads. Swindle drones swarmed him, but were massacred for their troubles. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

{{-}}
===Transformers Mix & Match book===
[[Image:Autobotdrone mixnmatch.jpg|150px|thumb|Acting like a body builder isn't going to impress chicks.]]
Swindle appeared as an Autobot drone that had been captured by [[Sector Seven]]. It defended [[Maggie Madsen]] and [[Glen Whitmann]] from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] as they signaled for reinforcements. {{storylink|Transformers Mix & Match}}

{{-}}
===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}

As part of Starscream's plan in [[Italy]], Swindle joined [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in causing chaos in the streets of Rome to draw the Autobots out. When the Autobots and NEST forces arrived and Rome, Swindle and Deadend got the drop on them and led them all through Rome. At first, Swindle and Deadend had no trouble staying ahead of the pursuing Autobots, as the Autobots' large alt-modes proved to be too unwieldy for Rome's narrow streets. But rookie Autobot Knock Out got the last laugh when he caught up to the Decepticon duo and tricked them into crashing into each other. As an infuriated Starscream challenged Optimus Prime to a one-on-one match in the Coliseum, the battered Swindle and Deadend quietly slinked off into the night. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

==Games==
===''Battle for the Allspark'' online game===
[[Image:Swindle head.jpg|right|125px|thumb|Swindle units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom)]]
Swindle units had excellent speed and fair attack power, but very weak defense. They were differentiated primarily by their heads; Autobot versions had a faceplate with separate eyes, while the Decepticon versions had a lens-head. {{storylink|Battle for the Allspark}}

===Transformers The Game (console)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Fred Tatasciore]] (grunts only)

Swindles were very common foes sent against both sides, though the largest concentration of them was in [[Tranquility]]. The Decepticon ones were particularly fond of lying in wait in their car modes and springing sneak attacks on any passerby Autobot. They were stronger than the [[Scrapper (Movie)|Scrapper]] units, but not by a lot, and were generally easily disposed of.

Aside from the head design differences, Decepticon Swindles were a deep wine color, while Autobots versions were green. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

===''Transformers: Autobots/Decepticons''===
Swindles appeared as common enemies throughout the quest for the Allspark, mainly in Tranquility and [[Hoover Dam]], and appeared as adversaries in both Autobot and Decepticon campaigns. The Swindle body type appeared as several automobile forms, including the Beater, Sportster, Notchback, Import, Longhorn (Autobot Exclusive), Gunner (Autobots Exclusive), Stunt Car (Decepticons Exclusive), Lightning Rider, Tricked Out Car, Racer, Hot Rodder, Speedster, and Scout (Decepticons Exclusive). All forms use the Autobot visor version of the head. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons}}

{{-}}
==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Swindle''' (Deluxe, 2007)

[[Image:Movie Deluxe Swindle toy1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Full court shot from Thorias, really showing what a man with a cannon in his chest can do.]]
: Swindle transforms into a [[Wikipedia:Chevrolet Cobalt|Chevrolet Cobalt]]. He's the Decepticon version, with the lens-head, and is remarkably accurate to his video game design. As with most of the Movie road vehicle toys, he replicates the car on which he's based realistically, even if the sculpt design is slightly genericized and has no official licensing.

:During transformation, his [[Automorph|Automorphing]] gimmick flips out his head/chest section on its own from his upper torso. His torso also features a spring-loaded cannon that extends when a button on his back is pressed, and the cannon structure itself can be extended from the torso to give a more impressive appearance. This cannon gimmick can also be used in car mode, where it looks like a super-turbo-nitro exhaust pipe.

:As is the standard in the Movie toyline, Swindle features reasonable articulation in robot mode, with ball-jointed shoulders, hips and wrists, and swivels at the elbows and knees. His head can barely move, but a modification may be done by the owner to increase its range of motion.

:Also, when detached, Swindle's hands fit in the space between [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] cannons.

:This mold was later redecoed into [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]].

==Notes==
*Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Swindle, along with the other new characters in the ''[[Transformers The Game]]'' and ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' video games.

* A squad of toy-like bright red Swindles appear at Hoover Dam during a cutscene of the console game... but as Autobots. Also, they were blown to smithereens by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. Hm.

* Promotional renders for the console game also reveal a blue Swindle, though they never appear in this color in the game proper.

* Swindle's toy has a chest cannon, which ''technically'' appears in the video game, if only as a design. His main weapon on the game is an arm-mounted missile launcher.

* As mentioned above, Swindle's toy has a chest cannon, which was [[Homage|homaged]] by [[Swindle (Animated)| another Swindle]].

[[Image:Mixmaster.jpg|right|275px|thumb|Shoulda been "Block Head", but nooooooooooooooooooooo.]]
'''Mixmaster''' units are large machines that convert into cement mixer trucks. Both the Autobot and Decepticon armies make use of these drones. They are very slow, but very determined, heavily-armored and heavily-armed to boot, making them very dangerous opponents. They have yet to demonstrate any "beats", although it would be reasonable to assume that they are "fresh".

Sometimes there are lots of him.

On both sides.

===''Battle for the Allspark'' online game===
[[Image:Mixmaster head.jpg|left|125px|thumb|Mixmaster units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom). Almost as confusing as in the cartoon.]]
Mixmasters are differentiated by little more than the make of their noggins; Autobot versions use a facemask-with-visor model, while Decepticons has a lens-head. Mixmaster drones on both sides have unstoppable attack power, good defense, but little speed. {{storylink|Battle for the Allspark}}

===''Transformers: The Game'' (console)===
Mixmasters are rarely-seen foes; Decepticon units are dark green, while Autobot units are yellow. They are shielded against artillery (they don't even stop to block, they just keep coming) and shrug off melee attacks as well; the only way to damage them is to knock them down by throwing something at them or ramming them in vehicle mode, then picking the drone itself up and hurling it. They are armed with heavy rocket launchers with a slow rate of fire, but nasty punch. Along with [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], they are one of the hardest and most annoying drones.

A Decepticon Mixmaster drone waited for [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] in [[Tranquility]] when [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was being hounded by both [[Sector Seven]] forces and the Decepticons. Both sides sent Mixmasters after each other in [[Mission City]], and a few popped up in "sub-missions". {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Mixmaster can be unlocked by completing the game. Unlike the console version's colors, he's white. {{Storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

==Notes==
*Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Mixmaster, along with the other new characters in the [[Transformers The Game|''Transformers'' - The Game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' - The Game]] video games.
* The Mixmaster drone was one of two types of drone (the other being [[Scrapper (Movie)|Scrapper]]) whose names were put up for voting on the game's web-site during development. Scrapper eventually got a toy in the form of [[Dirt Boss (ROTF)]]. The fate of this Mixmaster as a toy is uncertain.
* The other eligible names came from past cement-mixer ''Transformers'' characters, including "[[Quickmix (disambiguation)|Quickmix]]", "[[Takedown]]" and "[[Buckethead]]".
*Even in vehicle form he is still not affected by firearms

*Concept designer [[Ken Christiansen]] was requested by [[Hasbro]] to change the rear stabilizer of the Sniper's vehicle mode. [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/tf2-protectobot-sniper-03.html His speculation] is that Hasbro requested this to make the character model more similar to the [[Blazemaster]] toy, for a potential Protectobot Sniper retooling.

*According to unlockable concept art in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game, Protectobot Sniper was based on ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Blades (G1)|Blades]].

The Decepticon Long-Range Warriors transformed into ''silver'' Earth jets rather than their usual black. Their arm blasters fired red balls of plasma, similar to their Autobot counterparts' blue. They were also armed with weapons such as machine guns and missile launchers.

When [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] dropped into Shanghai (literally) via [[NEST]] cargo plane, Long-Range Warriors were the first to fight back, led by their [[Thrust (ROTF)|lieutenant]]. Obviously, it ended quite disastrously, with the Autobot leader shooting through dozens of the Decepticons and cutting the last three stragglers in half at the waist. They later attacked [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who was on a mission to destroy [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]]. In the same theatre of operations, they also assisted [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] when he was being pursued by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]].

When Bumblebee was captured, these air warriors guarded the base where the Autobot was imprisoned. However, [[Jetfire (ROTF)|a traitor]] set the Autobot free, and the units assailed Bumblebee while he worked his way through the base. They attacked Ironhide again as he worked his way towards the Decepticon's cannons. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Wii/PS2)}}

*Much like [[Protectobot Scout]], The Seeker Sniper is playable in Single Player via cheat code in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The cheat to play as the Seeker on the PlayStation 3 version is: Square, Triangle, Square, L1, X, L1. To play as the Seeker in the Xbox 360 version input: X, Y, X, LB, A, LB. Unfortunately, all achievements and your online sessions will be disabled by playing as the Seeker, which is odd considering all that's being done is playing as another character. Unlike the Autobot's Protectobot Scout's Playable version, the Seeker may be used in Deep-6.
*The Seeker Sniper is playable in Single Player mode via Hacking (Or simply tweak with the file). The Seeker Sniper is called "dskrwarrior". Unfortunately, its special ability, Teleport, is unavailable via hack.

*According to concept artist [[Ken Christiansen]], [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/tf2-combaticon-headsand-stuff.html the Combaticon Warrior almost didn't make it into the game], due to [[Hasbro]] requesting the character be redesigned to resemble the Movie toy design of [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]], despite the fact developer [[Luxoflux]] had already submitted the final design for the Combaticon Warrior and there was no time or money left to do a new design. Fortunately, Luxoflux was able to convince Hasbro otherwise.

*He is also a playable/scan-able form in the DS Version as a HEAVY.
*The DS version also has brown Combaticon Warriors as enemies for the Autobots.

Stratosphere

{{factions|autobotfilm|NEST}}

:''Stratosphere is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Rotf stratosphere titan.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Have you seen Jackie?]]

When a unit of Autobots needs to get somewhere fast, they turn to '''Stratosphere'''. His cargo plane mode can transport an entire team half way around the [[Earth|globe]] and then supply high-altitude covering fire when they get there. In the air, he is virtually unbeatable, and he knows it; Stratosphere thinks he can take on just about any challenge all on his lonesome, and this becomes a distinct problem when the threat is on the ground, where his combat abilities are no great shakes. As a consequence, he doesn't like to spend a lot of time on terra firma, preferring to reign supreme in the sky for as long as possible.

[[Image:Titan_Stratospherenothingood.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Hey Strat, what do you think a Chuck Austen/Rob Liefeld comic about Drift and ROTF Wheelie would be like?]]
During a routine sweep of British Columbia, Stratosphere lost contact with [[NEST]] headquarters when he flew through an unanticipated bank of heavy cloud over a mountain range. The cloud bank proved artificial, created by the Decepticons in order to hide their operation to reconstruct [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], a truth Stratosphere discovered when the partially-functional behemoth swatted him out the sky. His wings damaged by the blow and his communications nullified by a Decepticon jamming field, Stratosphere hoofed it to the Decepticons' construction site, and single-handedly took out the work-bots in a frenzied frontal assault. Construction supervisor [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]] proved tougher to handle, and Stratosphere was floored by a single kick from the Decepticon, but luckily, before a killing shot could be delivered, Stratosphere exploited his unusual body shape by spinning over on the ground and smacking Skywarp with his wing. Realizing that he couldn't face this threat down alone, he destroyed the jamming array and radioed in his position to NEST with a request to [[bring the rain]]. Undeterred, Skywarp transformed to jet mode and came streaking towards him, but Stratosphere quipped that being brought down to earth had given him a new perspective, and he tilted the device generating the cloud bank upwards, blinding Skywarp with it. Skywarp crashed, and Stratosphere made himself scarce, meeting up with [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], [[Rollbar (ROTF)|Rollbar]] and [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]] just as the air-strike arrived. Watching the massive blast from afar, Jolt wondered if Devastator could have survived, and Stratosphere advocated not waiting around to find out. After all... any landing he could walk away from was a good one!

Stratosphere was stationed in a base located in an icy ravine in Nepal, where he would receive the MechTech technology that was going to be sent to Optimus Prime. [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]] gave the alert of [[Starscream (Movie)|a Decepticon]] approaching. Several jets deployed to take care of Starscream so Stratosphere could escape, although the Decepticon was fast enough to catch up with him again after dispatching his attackers.

Stratosphere attempted to shoot him down with a large anti-aircraft battery, but was powerless against the more maneuverable Starscream. After suffering damage to his fuel lines and one of his engine cowlings, he deployed the [[Aerialbot (ROTF)|Aerialbots]] to fend Starscream off, but the Decepticon ace shot all of them down and pressed the attack.

Stratosphere was furious and engaged his [[Stealth Force]] mode to finish off Starscream for good. Starscream merely sneered, launching guided missiles to destroy Stratosphere's engines and cripple the craft. Stratosphere desperately informed Optimus that his engines were aflame and he was going down, only for the Autobot leader to grimly remind him that Starscream could not be allowed to take the MechTech weaponry.

Nevertheless, Starscream managed to blast his way into Stratosphere's cargo hold. After finishing off what few Autobots remained, he captured some MechTech guns and detonated the remaining ones to destroy Stratosphere from the inside.

As Starscream flew off and declared his victory, a flaming, exploding Stratosphere disappeared into the clouds below. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon}}

:Stratosphere transforms into a military transport plane which is an amalgamation of a C130-Hercules for the body, a [[United States Air Force#C-17 Globemaster III|C-17 Globemaster III]] for the wings, the cockpit of a [[Wikipedia:C-5 Galaxy|C-5 Galaxy]] and the tail of an [[Wikipedia:Antonov An-225|Antonov An-225]]. The little (transforming) Optimus Prime mini-figure fits into the cargo hold in the aft section of the plane, and can deploy from the ramp by rotating his tail fins.

:Sadly, Optimus cannot fit in the cargo hold while Stratosphere is in robot mode, so he must be gently held and cradled by Stratosphere like a tiny war machine.

:The packaging indicates that his moving internal gears (Mech Alive) feature is located at his chest, but it is in fact located in his arms.

==Notes==
[[Image:ROTF_Stratosphere_missilelauncher.jpg|thumb|200px|Oh if only....]]
* Stratosphere was originally going to come with a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Space Shuttle Orbiter|Space Shuttle]] accessory that would have plugged into the hole between his plane-mode wings that would serve as his robot-mode weapon. Despite making it all the way to the [[Prototype|test shot phase]], this was ultimately removed from the final production piece.
*Stratorsphere still has that hole.
* Stratosphere is based upon the same plane that dropped Optimus Prime to attack [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', but with liberties taken to differentiate it from the real thing to avoid the need to license the design.
* A NEST plane in the [[Unite for the Universe]] story "[[The Strongest Weapon]]" is drawn to look like Stratosphere (rather than the C-17 plane NEST usually uses in most fiction), but lacks Stratosphere's distinct colours and is never identified as being the Autobot.

[[Image:ROTF Mixmaster concept art.jpg|thumb|right|300px|You can never have too many shields.]]

A genius chemist, '''Mixmaster''' serves as a weapons designer to the Decepticon elite. He has spent his entire lifespan mastering the intricacies of chemical reactions, becoming an expert in poisons, corrosive substances, and most especially explosives. He has a knack for improvisation, being able to make deadly concoctions from just the native materials a world has to offer. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], when [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] is formed he constitutes the lumbering beast's head.

There are two of him, one of which forms the head of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], the other may or may not be also named "Mixmaster".

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] Cube created [[Thirteen|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "Mixmaster" body-type was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Star harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

One of the Mixmasters was part of [[The Fallen]]'s early Decepticons. On [[Earth]], he and his brothers were sicced on the turncoat [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. Mixmaster was the last one standing and managed to get the Seeker in a crushing embrace, informing him "You die". Jetfire got out of this by teleporting into Earth's atmosphere, causing Mix's death by atmosphere re-entry. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3}}

It is presumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, a surviving Mixmaster(s) sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of the Fallen.

Mixmaster was the leader of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s on the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''. He grumbled at [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] for ordering them to stay in the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'''s cargo hold when they left the damaged ''Nemesis'' to pursue the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

After the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|another, smaller Constructicon]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

After Megatron killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance.

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present in [[Egypt]] during [[Operation: Firestorm]]. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked.

[[Image:Mixmaster-ROTFcannonmode.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Good luck figuring this out on my toy.]]

Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso, popping his head off and killing him.

[[Image:ROTF Mixmaster death.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Jetfire stomps Mixmaster's head off (in case you were unable to see due to [[Michael Bay|motion blurs]])]]
Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S.

Mixmaster was one of the Decepticons dispatched to intercept an evacuation led by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and a NEST convoy. He led an assault group which was able to destroy the convoy; however, the evacuation had already ended. Since his mission had failed, Mixmaster tried to console himself by killing Ratchet and was able to put him in a critical state before Ironhide arrived and helped him. Mixmaster threw Ratchet away and ordered his troops to attack Ironhide, but the Autobot defeated them. Mixmaster then decided to take care of the situation by himself, but ended up trapped under a platform dropped by Ironhide.

However, this didn't stop him for too long, and he was able to quickly get out and place his remaining soldiers into a scrapyard. The troops were once again defeated by Ironhide and his [[Heavy Iron|new weapon]] sent by [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Mixmaster was too confident that the weapon wasn't strong enough to take out his shields, and he attacked with no warning. During the battle, his shields were in fact destroyed by Ironhide's new weapon, turning the tide of the battle towards Ironhide's favor. Ironhide defeated the Decepticon and terminated his opponent, gangland execution-style.

*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

: Voyager Class ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the [[Wikipedia:Mack Trucks|Mack Granite]] truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

: His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[Image:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
: The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy.

: The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

:The Mixmaster component of the Devastator set becomes Devastator's head. He contains the lights and sounds for Devastator, as well as individual sounds for his vehicle mode. They are motion activated, which means he never, ever shuts up. As with the other Constructicon members in this set, Mixmaster does not have his own robot mode. To activate sounds (if you're willing to do so, that is), press down on a lever on Devastator's chest. Doing so will raise Devastator's mighty head and open his mouth, and cause one of a myriad of sounds to play, including: "I am.... DEVASTATOR!" "CRUSH... AUTOBOTS!" "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "I am...DECEPTICON!". In Devastator mode, pressing the button down for a few moments also activates his "vortex grinder". Transforming him back into his own component activates the transformation sound when the face cover is pulled from the underside of his truck mode. After that, he randomly starts making engine stalling noises whenever you look at him funny.

: [[Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

: Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

: Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

==Notes==
*According to [[Ben Procter]]'s [http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ben_procter_rotf_12.jpg concept art], Mixmaster originally had a ''friendly'' face based on that of actor [http://www.giratempoweb.net/gallery/data/media/14/Brendan_Gleeson_1.jpg Brendan Gleeson]... and was apparently going to be an ''Autobot''. The early head design was actually put to use in the Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]]-themed [[redeco]] store exclusive, as well as the Legends Mixmaster.

*Apparently, a definitive and solid configuration for the Voyager Mixmaster toy's Battle Mode IS possible, for if one were to look carefully, one would see several design elements present in the toy that are indicative of a (most likely) thoroughly planned out transformation for the third mode. Unfortunately, none of these design elements are alluded to ''at all'' in the instructions, leaving many with nothing but guesses as to how it all fits together. Or in most cases, complete disregard for this mode altogether. But this does open the door for a lot of fanmode interpretations, which is always good.

*Not unlike [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] in the first movie, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' sees Mixmaster (and indeed, quite a lot of other Decepticons) emit some heavily-processed, garbled Cybertronian noise that could maybe pass for English dialogue if you cup your ear and turn your head sideways. The difference is that the DVD subtitles actually interpret the roar he lets out before transforming to battle mode as the sentence fragment "Listen up..." Unlike Bonecrusher, however, no voice actor is listed in the end credits.

*Though the green Mixmaster was a Toy'R Us exclusive, he was featured as a co-sell on exclusive products sent to competing stores (notably the Super Tuner Showdown, exclusive to Walmart)

{{disambig3|Mixmaster}}

:''Mixmaster is a [[Decepticon]] [[Triple Changer]] from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ROTF Mixmaster concept art.jpg|thumb|right|300px|You can never have too many shields.]]

A genius chemist, '''Mixmaster''' serves as a weapons designer to the Decepticon elite. He has spent his entire lifespan mastering the intricacies of chemical reactions, becoming an expert in poisons, corrosive substances, and most especially explosives. He has a knack for improvisation, being able to make deadly concoctions from just the native materials a world has to offer. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], when [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] is formed he constitutes the lumbering beast's head.

There are two of him, one of which forms the head of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], the other may or may not be also named "Mixmaster".

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] Cube created [[Thirteen|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "Mixmaster" body-type was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Star harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

One of the Mixmasters was part of [[The Fallen]]'s early Decepticons. On [[Earth]], he and his brothers were sicced on the turncoat [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. Mixmaster was the last one standing and managed to get the Seeker in a crushing embrace, informing him "You die". Jetfire got out of this by teleporting into Earth's atmosphere, causing Mix's death by atmosphere re-entry. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3}}

It is presumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, a surviving Mixmaster(s) sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of the Fallen.

Mixmaster was the leader of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s on the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''. He grumbled at [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] for ordering them to stay in the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'''s cargo hold when they left the damaged ''Nemesis'' to pursue the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
[[Image:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|250px|Can we fix him? Yes we can!]]
After the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|another, smaller Constructicon]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

After Megatron killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance.

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present in [[Egypt]] during [[Operation: Firestorm]]. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked.

[[Image:Mixmaster-ROTFcannonmode.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Good luck figuring this out on my toy.]]

Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso, popping his head off and killing him.

[[Image:ROTF Mixmaster death.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Jetfire stomps Mixmaster's head off (in case you were unable to see due to [[Michael Bay|motion blurs]])]]
Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' - The Game===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Dave Boat]]

Mixmaster was one of the Decepticons dispatched to intercept an evacuation led by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and a NEST convoy. He led an assault group which was able to destroy the convoy; however, the evacuation had already ended. Since his mission had failed, Mixmaster tried to console himself by killing Ratchet and was able to put him in a critical state before Ironhide arrived and helped him. Mixmaster threw Ratchet away and ordered his troops to attack Ironhide, but the Autobot defeated them. Mixmaster then decided to take care of the situation by himself, but ended up trapped under a platform dropped by Ironhide.

However, this didn't stop him for too long, and he was able to quickly get out and place his remaining soldiers into a scrapyard. The troops were once again defeated by Ironhide and his [[Heavy Iron|new weapon]] sent by [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Mixmaster was too confident that the weapon wasn't strong enough to take out his shields, and he attacked with no warning. During the battle, his shields were in fact destroyed by Ironhide's new weapon, turning the tide of the battle towards Ironhide's favor. Ironhide defeated the Decepticon and terminated his opponent, gangland execution-style.

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Legends_Mixmaster.jpg|thumb|200px|My arms hurt...]]
*'''Decepticon Mixmaster''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number'' '''D2'''
:Mixmaster and the six other Legends class Constructicons combine to form Devastator. In Japan, the Legends class Constructicons were sold individually. Mixmaster has the dubious honor of pulling Devastator's face around like a rectal growth in robot mode. He forms (you guessed it) the head of Devastator.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure multi-pack, 2010)

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, the Legends Constructicons were sold together as an [[exclusive]] multi-pack at [[Walmart]] in North America and Argos in the UK.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Mixmaster ROTF Voyager toy.jpg|right|thumb|400px|My arms still hurt...]]
*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

: Voyager Class ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the [[Wikipedia:Mack Trucks|Mack Granite]] truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

: His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[Image:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
: The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy.

: The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

[[Image:ROTF-toy_GreenMixmaster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|My arms hurt so ''you'' can pretend it's still the 80s. I hate you.]]
*'''Back Road Brawl''' (Figure multi-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused. His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

:He retains the mis-assembled cab joint.

{{-}}

====Combiner Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF_Devastator_combiner_toy.jpg|thumb|300px|My arms don't hurt anymore.... Wait.... WHERE ARE MY ARMS!?!?!?!?!?!]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)

:The Mixmaster component of the Devastator set becomes Devastator's head. He contains the lights and sounds for Devastator, as well as individual sounds for his vehicle mode. They are motion activated, which means he never, ever shuts up. As with the other Constructicon members in this set, Mixmaster does not have his own robot mode. To activate sounds (if you're willing to do so, that is), press down on a lever on Devastator's chest. Doing so will raise Devastator's mighty head and open his mouth, and cause one of a myriad of sounds to play, including: "I am.... DEVASTATOR!" "CRUSH... AUTOBOTS!" "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "I am...DECEPTICON!". In Devastator mode, pressing the button down for a few moments also activates his "vortex grinder". Transforming him back into his own component activates the transformation sound when the face cover is pulled from the underside of his truck mode. After that, he randomly starts making engine stalling noises whenever you look at him funny.
{{-}}

====Mega Power Bots====
[[Image:ROTF MegaPowerBots Devastator.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Sometimes it's just Orange Day.]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
: [[Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

: Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

: Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:TF2010-toy_Legends_green_Mixmaster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Okay, so they managed to hide the combiner face well enough... but that doesn't help my arms, now does it?]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure giftset, 2010)

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Generation 1-themed redeco of Legends Devastator and his components. Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, Mixmaster and the other Constructicons are mostly just lime green and gray, with the only bits of purple being their windshields. They do, however, have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

{{-}}

*'''Megatron Rising''' (Figure multi-pack)

:This retailer exclusive multi-pack recreated the scene in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' where the Constructicons resurrect Megatron. The Mixmaster figure itself appears to be an unchanged version from the Revenge of the Fallen release of the Legends Constructicon Devastator combiner figure, and comes packed with (apparently) similarly unchanged Constructicon Devastator figures of [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], a red redeco of [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], who was probably intended to be [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]], and a metallic green redeco of Voyager class Megatron

:It has never been revealed for which retailer this multi-pack was intended for.
