: ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Malleus Minotaurus is a grey [[redeco]] of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Smashdown#Toys|Smashdown]], transforming from grey robotic minotaur to a hammer that other toys can wield thanks to his [[5 mm post|5 mm-wide handle]]. The hammer handle can be slotted into the inside of the left forearm (under the "main" arm) to give him a blaster rifle. Otherwise, the handle either sits unused... or stays awkwardly sticking out of the robot-mode butt as a very long tail.

:Malleus Minotaurus comes with two clear blast effect parts: the first being a redeco of the original "Fire Blast" part to simulate smashing against objects, plus a new blast effect that simulates covering the end of either side in melted slag.

{{welcome}}
{{tagyourpics}}
When writing descriptions in character articles, please make sure they are written in an in-universe style. No "in the game" or "in this level" or anything like that. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 15:23, 21 May 2023 (EDT)
{{correctenglish}}
As I said before in the Discord, while the later revisions are better, your edits still need to improve in both grammar and formatting. For example, fiction sections on character pages should be written in past tense, as well as fully using the in-universe style. (For example, instead of "the drones attacked you", it should be "the drones attacked the NEST agents/Jake and Vanessa/etc.") While the wiki is a collaborative work, it is not the responsibility of the other editors to fix things for you, and if this happens on a frequent basis, others are more likely to simply remove the text than try to fix it. Please make sure you proofread your edits before submitting them going forward. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 21:51, 23 May 2023 (EDT)

Sorry I hadn't gotten around to fixing it since we talked on Discord. I see that they have been fixed now and I really appreciate it. I'll try to do better.--[[User:Nathan!|Nathan!]] 8:57, 23 May 2023 (EDT)

:''Nemesis Prime is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]] portion of the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:YDSB Nemeses.jpg|thumb|400px|''Promise me you'll let me be'']]

'''Nemesis Prime''' (alternatively known as the '''Optimus Prime clone''') is a clone of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], constructed by a secretive human organization. They didn't do a brilliant job, though, leaving Nemesis Prime an uncontrollable creature, twisted in body and mind. Now the enraged, decaying machine pursues a single objective: exacting revenge on those who created him. His sole companion is [[Nemesis Grimlock]], a powerful being who has sworn loyalty to Nemesis Prime.

==Fiction==
===Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base===
Nemesis Prime and [[Nemesis Grimlock]] were at the [[Transformers Expo]], where they stepped up to aid another [[Yokohama Convoy|Nemesis Prime]] against the [[Autobot]] forces in the Expo. When the other Nemesis Prime's [[Dark Energon]] violently reacted with the artifacts contained in the Expo, he valiantly put all of the Dark Energon energies into his stickers, which he threw off. Along with the observing crowd, Nemesis Prime destroyed the stickers. After all was said and done, Nemesis Prime had a ride on Nemesis Grimlock. {{storylink|Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base}}

When the autobots head to the Moon, Nemesis Prime appears at the Decepticon [[Mothership]] to fight [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

Dude, stop. English names are not transferred across different characters. Big Convoy is not Big Prime. [[Gren]] is not Hook. Gaia Guardian is not Gaia Defensor, etc. [[User:Mimi|Mimi]] 21:50, 14 September 2013 (EDT)
:Big Convoy has never been named in English, Gren's never been named as that, and Gaia Guardian doesn't have an English name. Those examples don't work at all. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] 21:55, 14 September 2013 (EDT)
::You are severely missing the point. The Kre-O character has no name, English or otherwise. All we have is the assumed intent of the writer (so, "Alexa"). What applies to the original character does not automatically apply to homages, as I've shown with my examples.
::And, frankly, if you had an issue, a better method of action would have been discussing rather than automatically reverting the preference of the person taking the time to make those pages! [[User:Mimi|Mimi]] 22:03, 14 September 2013 (EDT)
:: Mimi has a point. using the Alexis/Alexa Kre-o as an example; this wiki typically uses the Japanese name unless/until and English name is made. So, while the Kre-O character might be based off Alexis from Armada, we must call her what the comic calls her. And since the comic calls her nothing, author intent is all we have to go on. I say stick with Alexa but keep the reference to Alexis in the notes/[[User:Stevo|Stevo]] 22:27, 14 September 2013 (EDT)

Scorn's caption does not come off as a joke, but at any rate, The Picture of Scorn is a concept art, and should be noted as such, given that concept art often does not share the same appearance of the final product.

Why shouldn't it? It's the exact type of picture that needs context to explain it, official imaging that is altered or not representative of the final product.

And, for the most part in my experience, wiki's use the method of response I use, as it guarantee's the user get's the message. Doing it the other way can lead to a number of complication, like the user not getting the message, or information being lost in communication.

Final quick question, Are you an Admin or Mod?--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 18:10, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:No, if they want to know what it is, they can just look at the description on the image itself. Stop trying to make the wiki work the wayt you want it to.

:And I'm not sure where you get that idea from. You're going to get the message, no matter what, Maybe it works that way at Wikia, but not here.

:And no, I'm not. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 18:15, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

As you are not an Admin, I would like to ask you not to discuss this with me, as it's not really your place to. While I do appreciate the desire to look after a wiki that you contribute to, unless you are of a position of authority, trying to enforce any rule or policy will not result in desirable results, especially as the Admin's are the one who are really the one's to determine if a policy is being broken or not, and a standard user does not necessarily have the same ability to truly recognize this, and even if they do, they don't have the authority to do anything about it. For future references, if you think someone is breaking a policy or vandalizing pages, contact an Admin or site Mod, rather than taking matter's into your own hands, as this often does little to help the situation or can even make it worse.--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 18:30, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:......It's a public forum. Just because I'm not a moderator doesn't mean I shouldn't tell you that you're not doing what's right and ask you to stop. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 18:34, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:And even then, why wouldn't I know how to interpret the rules? The rules are stated outright among various pages. This isn't some message board. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 18:51, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

In theory, you are right, but in practice that rarely works. If the user is a true vandal, just messing up the page for kicks, it won't have achieved anything, and may in fact motivate said vandal to keep it up. If it's just another user, then you run into a several other problems. You may not truly understand the full meaning of policy's, or if they are truly being violated, especially if it's a gray type of situation. In those situation, you may just achieve amnesty with a new user who was trying to help. Many people do not appreciate being told what to do by a person in a non-authoritative position, as you are essentially the same "rank" as them, you don't truly have the authority to make any real demands.

Most Admins are Admins for a reason, normally they are excellent editors but also, more importantly, they have excellent crisis situation skills and know how to handle problems users, or users who may simply of made a mistake. At most, a person in a non-authoritative position should ever directly do in a situation where they think someone is breaking policies, is politely inform them of the site policies, and if the situation continues, notify an Admin and let them handle it, as there is little else of use you can actually do.

As to misinterpreting the rule, it's easy to do, as not every situation fit's into the set rules perfectly, many situation have grey aspects to them and are not always easily resolved by a set forth rule, and need some one in a position of authority to properly resolve the situation. --[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 18:57, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:TFWiki doesn't have a massive problem with non-admin users giving advice to new users if it's basic stuff like 'please don't remove captions/add scores of new captions'. Admins aren't always around, and sometimes new users just need pointing to our policy pages.

In response to comment on abates page

While those are notable achivements, I've been part of much smaller wiki's and wed communitys who can make similar claims, being invited to events and having content copied for outside use. Any communit of of fair size can recize and invint to big events and copying of content, if that is the case, unfortuently happens alot, many people take the easiest way out and instead of using their own ideas, take them from other sources.

As for your estimated user count, as it stands now from 2008 to now, about 13000 users have registered, so a little over 10000, rather than tens of thousands. Now grand majority of those who have registered have not bothered to make a user page, indicating a "fly by night" user who only made a hand full of edits before dropping off, and didn't stick around. I don't know the amount of users who activly take part on the site, but it wouldn't be anywhere near tens of thousands.

But I'd still like a response to my early question, do you know why I said it takes the winds out of that particular arguments sails? I'd like to know if you know what I meant, and if so why you think I was wrong.--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 23:07, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

== Swoop ==

Did Hasbro actually explicitly state they still have the name "Swoop"? Or are you extrapolating that from the explanation for AOE Strafe being named that way because of his two heads? I just checked the USPTO website - two entries for "Swoop" filed by Hasbro are listed as "dead", though that only means the name is not ®. It could still be ™ - but then I found entries for "Swoop Coupe" filed by Mattel and a goddamn COMPANY named "Swoop LLC" operating in the "toys" field that has its company name trademarked, both listed as "live" on the USPTO website. Knowing Hasbro's lawyers, they wouldn't touch the name with a ten foot pole at this point.

So again I ask, do you know of an explicit "We still have the name" statement by Hasbro, or are you simply basing an assumption on the fact that "trademark problems" was not explicitly cited as the reason for the name change for AOE?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore|talk]]) 07:33, 27 July 2014 (EDT)

== Fire in the Dark Mini-Cons ==

May I consult with you on organizing the Fire in the Dark Mini-Cons since that community discussion seems to have died? I'm currently trying to figure out how to do [[Reptix]] and [[Ironlunge]] as they are the only beastformer volume 4 Micron Boosters to have already appeared in fiction, as ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' Predacons. As BWU appears to lack Mini-Cons (though Maximals/Predacons are roughly the same size as Micromasters), would it be appropriate to split the pages and classify the Aurex Mini-Cons as being associated with the original toys while the Primax Predacons are repurposings of those toys? This thought occurred to me because Ask Vector Prime classified the quasi-ROTF promotional [[Mighty Mini-Con Team]] as Aurex characters, which rather makes sense given the relative absence of Mini-Cons in Tyran.

:What she's trying to say to you is that the list is only for stream designations that have been officially and formally (or as "formally" as they were given like in such cases as "Aurex Something Something" and "Primax yadda-yadda Zeta") given in official Transformers media. We know that our real world exists in the Quadwal Cluster, but it's official stream designation was never actually ever given, meaning that we can't include it in this list at all regardless of our knowing that it does exist anyway. It's the same reason that we don't have stream designations listed for things like the Beast Machines cartoon, the Victory cartoon, any of the live action films after the first one, the 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon, or pretty much any piece of Transformers media that isn't on that list. We know that all official Transformers media does exist, but not everything has an official stream designation that has been given by a piece of official Transformers media, and therefore, everything that doesn't have an official stream designation is left out of the list since the list is only for stream designations that have been officially given. Otherwise, we'd have to start making up stream designations for everything, and that's not what this Wiki is supposed to do. Besides, the very first line of description text in the Quadwal section ("[[Transformers timeline|A strangely divergent continuity family.]]") already links out to the article for our real world anyway, so the fact that our real world is represented by/inside the Quadwal Cluster is already indicated by that line of text on the main list page. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 01:26, 19 December 2017 (EST)

==Grammar==
I hadn't really taken a look at any of your synopses before, simply because it's a lot of text. But I glanced over [[The Dark Heart of Sandokan|this one]] and it was just... hard to read.

I'm not a proofreader and I hate feeling like I'm nitpicking or whatever, especially when you're doing such good work and especially when you've put whole orders of magnitude more work into this wiki than me, but it took me over half an hour to comb through this one and fix the errors. I'm still not really happy with how it turned out, because one way or another I have very little formal understanding of grammar and I feel like a lot of things slipped by me. Also, I'm really not sure how much of what's wrong with this synopsis was just carried over from the old version.

Recurring errors:
* Ship names were not italicised.
* Sentences often had far more commas and clauses than they should've - like, there were some extremely long sentences in there that really should have been cut in half.
* Commas were often placed on the wrong side of connectives (i.e. like "I went to the store, and approaching the counter, said hi to the shopkeeper." instead of "I went to the store and, approaching the counter, said hi to the shopkeeper.").
* This is where my lack of formal training comes into play, but you used lots of -ing verb like "turning", "blasting", "running" etc. particularly at the start of sentences. Didn't read right to me, especially if more than one was used in a single sentence.
* Sentence subjects were often unclear, usually as a result of the above errors.

Please carry on doing what you're doing, but maybe take the time to carefully read back what you have both as you finish each sentence, and as you finish each section. If you really don't have time I'll carry on trying to do my best to clean up, because I'd rather see this content up than not at all.

== Upcoming comic releases ==

I guess this is mostly towards the upcoming ''Lost Light'' issue but I guess it can apply to any other comic really. How come the articles aren't created for the comics until after the issues have been released? To an extent, I get that it might be done because the issues are too far away and they might even end up getting cancelled. That's why for example on Wikipedia, a movie that has only started production and is to be released in like, 3 years, gets a draft rather than an article. But in the case of ''Lost Light'' #16, the issue comes out tomorrow. Would it be better to already have at least some of the article ready?

== Unused images ==

I've been going through the uncategorized images trying to sort as many as I can into their proper place, and I found a handful of images you uploaded around a year and a half ago that aren't currently being used on any pages. I'm not sure where they're from, so I was hoping you could at least tell me where they came from so I can apply the proper template and put them somewhere until we can figure out what to do with them.

== In defense of NexusShard17 ==

I don't think it's entirely fair to call NexusShard17's work done "for no reason". In the case of the Manatronatee image, he probably removed it because he assumed Saix had tagged it for deletion for good reason, something that I do not believe you caught. In the case of Arcee / Chun-Li, he must have been confused on whether the figure represented Transformer scanning human or the other way around. After all, it's not that hard on this site to get carried away while tackling a tedious set of problems, and Nexus Shard17 does handle a lot of grunt work. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D.

== TLK HMS Aliance Bot Robot Mode ==

Hi I was a bit confused by the response to the removal of my note, just need to clarify my comments on the concept art of the HMS Alliance resembling a scuba diver like Seaspray's ROTF HFTD Voyager figure released in 2010 I think that's when it was.
Just in case I should ask to see because I was at first taken aback by there being two concept arts in that book with HMS in their name.

One is on pg. 390 the "HMS Alliance" and I think on pg. 392 or 391 there is another robot mode named HMS Victory. They both look completely different.

== So how are fiction sections written if they can't be detailed? ==

I write up a partial, almost completed stub about Mirage and you ERASE it? There's just as much detail there as any other genre/history of his character as mine.

I'm trying.
How about instead of ''deleting'' the whole thing, you just edit it to fit instead?

:Looking at what you wrote, the main pieces of advice needed here are: 1) Character histories are written in the past tense. 2) They are also written "in-universe," ie: the text should not contain sentences like "in episode X." That's what storylinks are for, added to the end of sentences/paragraphs to identify the media in which the action described occurs. 3) Keep things tight. Write a general overview of the events, not a beat-for-beat description of everything in a scene. Not every single action or line of dialogue is worthy of being noted. This a good rule of thumb for any "handbook" or "fact file" style writing, but it's sadly something that many, ''many'' fan wikis don't do, favouring detail over readability. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 21:16, 22 October 2020 (EDT)

== Technobots Selects ==

What you're suggesting is an entirely different standard from how fiction is typically recorded on this Wiki. The general policy has never been to do this. When a Combiner appears in a story without disassembling, only the Combiner is recorded as an appearance on the issue/episode pages. The individual fiction pages also reflect this. It would be necessary to begin a major undertaking going back through every piece of fiction on this Wiki to adjust to the standard you are suggesting. I know off-hand the limbs of Defensor, Menasor, and Bruticus are not recorded separately in ''Selects'', except for one or two who appear as individuals. You'll find the same thing for ''Energon'' era Combiner limb sections. Furthermore, Nosecone, Lightspeed, and Afterburner do not even appear on panel in [[Super Megatron comic 1]] -- you can see Computron's head and upper chest (Scattershot) and his left arm (Strafe). Fiction sections also have never recorded off-panel cameos like that. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 14:06, 30 July 2021 (EDT)

::I've given up on influencing policy on the Wiki. I am just pointing out that, if that's the standard you want from the Fiction sections, they currently do not function that way. Another example is the [[Prime Wars Trilogy]] cartoons -- The Dinobots appear separately from Volcanicus, so they all have Fiction sections. However, Predaking, Victorion, Devastator, Menasor, and Computron also appear throughout the series. Of those 27 Combiner components, only 5 have Fiction sections, because only 5 appeared as separated limbs / vehicle modes. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 14:28, 30 July 2021 (EDT)

== Blackout vs Grindor ==

"absolutely not." is kinda vague, I'm gonna need you to elaborate.

Getting to my main point though, I'm not trying to say that The two helicopters are the same guy, (Hasbro themselves have confirmed otherwise) but I really think that it deserves mention in some capacity that Grindor is rusted to shit and has broken components that are rather visible if you pay attention. Blackout ''was'' the only other con shown (in the film, anyway) to be dumped into the abyss with Megatron. given that the writer's strike was also going on, Grindor being a revived Blackout at some early point is a possibility, albeit an unconfirmed one.

I understand that correlation =/= causation.

The reason I'm so hellbent on getting this across is that these details are hardly mentioned (if at all) on Grindor's article.

Furthermore, it's an interesting footnote.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but it's something that I passionately think deserves at least some kind of attention. {{unsigned|Banannixx}}

I'm going to be perfectly blunt: you were ''moments'' away from getting blocked for a week due to your behavior on the Sideways talk page before I talked things down to a warning. That's not going to happen twice. Regardless of your past contributions, you have had a history of combative behavior with others, including staff, and it has reached a point where other active editors have become actively discouraged from editing because of it. Writing up AVP does not give you ownership of those articles or how it is interpreted or portrayed, nor does it give you the right to overrule or invalidate others' opinions. In fact, it could be argued that because you wrote for the column, working on those articles constitutes a conflict of interest. I respect the work you've done for the wiki up to this point, but you need to get yourself in check and watch your attitude going forward, or else you ''will'' be looking at block time, and if it continues, I can’t guarantee it’ll stay temporary.

The '''Lensmeter Decepticons''' are a group of minuscule Decepticons much like the better-known [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]]. They primarily serve as medics attempting to repair [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] after his battle with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]].

==Fiction==
===''Dark of the Moon'' film===

To repair the damage he suffered from Optimus Prime in [[Egypt]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] allowed the Lensmeter Decepticons to constantly attend to his head-wound, putting the pieces back together from the inside. Despite the tiny robots' services, Megatron crushed one between his fingers, seemingly out of boredom. Another Lensmeter Decepticon was seen repairing Megatron in [[Chicago]] while Megatron and [[Carly Spencer]] were talking. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

When the Autobots went to the NEST aircraft carrier near the Pacific Ocean the clones appear during the Decepticons ambush, then later attacking you underwater, then finally inside the secret underwater Decepticon base.
When they went to East China swarms of them attacked them all throughout the KSI headquarters. {{storylink|Transformers: Shadows Rising}}

*Although Scalpel was destroyed in the novel and comic adaptations of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', his fate was left ambiguous in the film itself, so one of the Lensmeter Decepticons may have been intended to be Scalpel himself.

'''Nemesis Prime''' (alternatively known as the '''Optimus Prime clone''') is a clone of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], constructed by a secretive human organization. They didn't do a brilliant job, though, leaving Nemesis Prime an uncontrollable creature, twisted in body and mind.

Nemesis Prime and [[Nemesis Grimlock]] were at the [[Transformers Expo]], where they stepped up to aid another [[Yokohama Convoy|Nemesis Prime]] against the [[Autobot]] forces in the Expo. When the other Nemesis Prime's [[Dark Energon]] violently reacted with the artifacts contained in the Expo, he valiantly put all of the Dark Energon energies into his stickers, which he threw off. Along with the observing crowd, Nemesis Prime destroyed the stickers. After all was said and done, Nemesis Prime had a ride on Nemesis Grimlock. {{storylink|Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base}}

[[File:AOE Grimlock concept.jpg|thumb|right|400px|When me Grimlock go clubbin', me make sure to pack extra mace just in case.]]
As king of the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]]s, '''Grimlock''' believes that the best approach to a problem is to smash it first, worry about the specifics later. One of the most powerful warriors in the universe, he likes nothing more than showing off his strength, leaving his enemies stomped, chomped, or turned to ash by a blast of his fire breath. This rather rough n' tough attitude extends to his [[Autobot]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|companions]], who are expected to meet Grimlock's standard of strength. That said, the Autobots have a lot less to fear from this behemoth than the [[Decepticon]]s.<ref>''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Voyager Class Grimlock packaging bio</ref>

{{note|The five 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.}}

====''Age of Extinction'' film====
[[File:Age-of-extinction-grimlock-hanged.jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[John DiMaggio|King Shark]] knows how you feel after being in Arkham Asylum.]]

Grimlock was a prisoner aboard [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s [[Knight Ship|ship]] until the Autobots detached that section and flew it to [[China]], though Optimus did not inform his troops of their presence. When [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]]'s [[KSI Sentry|new Decepticons]] shot down their ship, Optimus went to recruit the Dinobots for their aid. Optimus was nevertheless amazed that the "legend" existed, and freed Grimlock and his men. Optimus explained to Grimlock that the [[Creator]]s intended to wipe them all out, and urged them to stand with him, or refuse and die. Grimlock immediately challenged Optimus, but despite his immense size and strength, was bested in combat. Grimlock submitted to Optimus's lead, and allowed the Autobot leader to mount him. Grimlock and Optimus led the Dinobot-Autobot charge into [[Hong Kong]], where Grimlock killed many Decepticons with ease.

[[File:AOEOptimusRidingGrimlock.jpg|thumb|right|300px| Me Grimlock no Yoshi! Me Grimlock KING!]]
Grimlock later helped escort the [[Seed]] to a safe location, but Lockdown arrived and turned his tractor beam on them. Grimlock and the Dinobots would have been captured once again had Optimus not destroyed the tractor projector with a well-placed shot. Optimus ordered Grimlock and the others to flee while he fought Lockdown. The group subsequently held the line on a nearby bridge until Optimus, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and their human allies triumphed and killed Lockdown. Optimus granted Grimlock and the Dinobots their freedom, and Grimlock happily departed with his team for parts unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

====''The Last Knight'' film====
[[File:TLK Grimlock eats cruiser.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Grimlock's story.]]
In the years following the battle in China, Grimlock joined the Autobots in hiding at [[Cade Yeager]]'s [[Junkyard (TLK)|scrapyard]]. Unfortunately, he developed a habit of stealing the [[Sherman|local sheriff]]'s cruiser and using it as a chew toy. On the day Cade encountered [[Talisman Knight|a dying Cybertronian knight]], he returned to find an angry sheriff demanding the return of his vehicle. Grimlock tried to hide the cruiser by eating it but was eventually berated into vomiting it back up. Cade then turned on his assistant [[Jimmy (TLK)|Jimmy]] for not keeping Grimlock under control, who pointed out that without Cade the Autobots were uncontrollable and Grimlock had tried to eat him at least once. Grimlock later relaxed in the scrapyard while Cade called his daughter [[Tessa Yeager|Tessa]].

The next day, their refuge was discovered by the Decepticons and the [[Transformers Reaction Force|T.R.F.]] forces. As their enemies prepared to invade, Cade and the Autobots escaped to a nearby town to carry out their emergency plan. Grimlock joined [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] in laying a trap for the pursuing TRF forces, bursting from beneath the road leading to the town and destroying the convoy. Grimlock then made his way to the town in time to save Cade and Izzy from [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], swatting the Decepticon with his tail, before slamming [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] himself into the ground. As [[Dreadbot]] ran in to assist, Grimlock snapped him up and killed the Decepticon bank robber. He then turned his attention back to Megatron and [[Nitro Zeus]], who quickly fled once Grimlock unleashed his considerable might upon the Decepticons. Grimlock remained in America after Cade was taken to [[United Kingdom|England]] by [[Cogman]] and did not participate in the final battle on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

===''How to Ride your Dinobot'' cartoon===
Grimlock found himself being the guinea pig for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s Dinobot-riding lessons. To his irritation, Optimus rudely beckoned him to move forward, and was thus thrown into a barn. Optimus's mood did not improve much, but Grimlock's did, as it was now time for him to ride Optimus. The Autobot leader proved a much more compliant steed, to Grimlock's joy. {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 2: How to Ride|How to Ride}}

Grimlock was minding his own business in a Chinese forest, when suddenly Optimus Prime and his Autobots arrived, intent on learning how to ride the mighty Dinobots into battle. Unfortunately for them, the Dinobots proved uncooperative steeds, with [[Slash (AOE)|Slash]] tossing [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] through the air, Bumblebee nearly getting mauled when attempting to feed them and [[Scorn]] and [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] smashing [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] and [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] together.

Grimlock participated in an enormous battle against the Decepticons... until Optimus Prime began talking about the plot of the [[live-action film series]] to the audience. He quickly grew bored during his leader's monologue and attempted to order a pizza over the phone. The beeping caused by Grimlock dialing up the pizza place kept on interrupting Optimus when he tried to spoil the plot of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|fourth film]]. Optimus settled with introducing Grimlock and the rest of the Dinobots. Then Grimlock's pizza arrived, and the fighting started up once again. {{storylink|Take Us to the Movies}} {{Storylink|Take Us Through the Movies}}

Grimlock served as Optimus's mount as the two of them burst in on a bunch of Vehicons building the Galvatron Factory Battle set. Announcing that it was "Dinner Time!", Grimlock used a sort of tractor beam to draw his victims into his maw. He also got to stomp down on [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], and kicked his head away. {{storylink|Commercial/Age of Extinction#Dino Force|Kre-O Dino Force commercial}}

When Bumblebee and Drift were ambushed by Lockdown and his troops, Grimlock came to help the Autobots. The Dinobot forced the enemy to retreat and cleared passage to Lockdown's base. With Drift distracted by Lockdown's troops, Optimus and Bumblebee made their way to Lockdown. With their mutual enemies near defeat, Grimlock ran off to hunt some of the fleeing mercenaries. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark}}

:Part of the first wave of Flip & Change toys, Grimlock transforms into a robotic horned ''Tyrannosaurus'' by way of an [[autotransformation]] gimmick, triggered by holding his tail parts and flipping him over and over himself (or spin his tail while he was standing on a flat ground). Grimlock features very limited articulation on the arms, and features 5mm-compatible hands. The toy was inadvertently sold by some [[Walmart]]s before the official May 17th street date for ''Age of Extinction'' merchandise.

:The Japanese release of Grimlock, called "Big Grimlock" to separate it from the One Step Changer, has a primarily silver deco, especially on the dinosaur parts. It also has some other changes like golden teeth and red dino eyes. The Flip and Change construction gimmick is also ''removed'' from the release, requiring the toy to be transformed by hand.

:One-Step Changer Grimlock features a one-step autotransformation in both directions from robot to dinosaur, triggered by folding his robot shoulders/dinosaur thighs. His only articulation is the arms, which can move up and down. Grimlock also features a magnet on his right leg, which can accommodate the ''Stomp & Chomp'' figure (see below). Also, due to the knee spikes on the legs somewhat getting in the way while transforming back to ''T. rex'' form, it must be adjusted by hand when converting in mid-transformation.

:Like the Flip & Change version, the Japanese release of this toy features more silver than orange.

*'''Electronic Stomp & Chomp Grimlock''' (One Step Changers, 2014)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Optimus Prime mini-figure
:Stomp & Chomp Grimlock is a 22" tall figure designed as a centerpiece for the One-Step Changer line, featuring light and sound effects and a one-step autotransformation performed by squeezing and pulling the handle. A One-Step Changer, Power Battler, or the included non-transforming Optimus Prime figure can ride him in dinosaur mode, and the toy is able to detect if said rider is Autobot or Decepticon and change its electronics effects accordingly. His electronics don't turn themselves off, meaning that if you forget, he may start yelling '''"DESTROY!"''' at you ''on his own''. Which is very unnerving.

:Note that the arms need to be in a straight position before returning to ''T. rex'' mode. His left leg is detached to fit in the package.

He also comes with an opaque gray [[Energon star|Energon chip]] which could be attached to most ''Energon''-line toys, but unlike every other release of an Energon toy the chip is glued to his body, concealing that the spark crystal is missing from the construction of this toy.

{{toydesigner|[[Hironori Kobayashi]] (deco, TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction:]] [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Grimlock transforms into a silver and bronze ''Tyrannosaurus'' with [[Articulation|articulated]] horns, and a button-activated, spring-loaded chomping jaw. He comes with a spiked maul that he can ''sorta'' wield via the smaller [[5 mm post|5mm handle]] at the top of its haft. The maul's head and handle are two separate pieces, and the weapon can slide onto to his tail to store in dino mode... as a ''really'' long tail extension. Yeah...

:There is a bronze paint color variation on the Hasbro release of this figure. The bronze paint can either be colored to match the bronze plastic -or- it can be colored very intensely, appearing oversaturated as more of an "orangey-bronze" color as seen on the Evolution 2-Pack and the Legion two-pack figure. This paint variation can be easily spotted when comparing Grimlock's robot mode hip pieces to each other, seeing the painted sides versus the plastic center and plastic dinosaur arms. Having both the bronze paint and the oversaturated "orangey-bronze" paint versions side-by-side makes the latter one much more noticeable in person.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of the ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'', lacks the silver paint on his dinosaur head, features additional paint on his robot face and legs, and has red dinosaur eyes.

:This toy was later redecoed into [[Nemesis Grimlock]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Transformers .282014.29|''Transformers'' (2014) Dinobots Generation One 4-pack Grimlock]], and retooled into [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition Dinobots set Grimlock]].

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this version of Grimlock transforms into an oddly-elongated, [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed out]], black-and-bronze ''Tyrannosaurus'' with an articulated jaw, and ''tiny'' vestigial arms. A large section of his dino mode rear detaches and splits into two accessories: a spiked mace-like weapon formed out of his rather short, pointy tail, which he can wield ''normally'' via 5mm post, as well as a spiky, sawbladed shield formed from the dino mode's hip armor, which can slot onto the dino feet on his forearms.

:He features chrome on several pegs, tabs, slots, and holes, all of which have a nasty tendency to flake.

:All releases of ''Age of Extinction'' Leader-Class Grimlock have very similar looking left & right robot mode feet and thus, are notorious for being incorrectly added to the figure during factory assembly, resulting in a left foot on a right leg, a right foot on a left leg, two left feet, or two right feet. Not having the right foot on the right leg and left foot on the left leg causes him to not stand properly because each foot is designed on the bottom to sit at a specific slanted angle. Both feet look very similar to one another, however they can be identified by finding the corresponding "L" and "R" on each one. If placed on a flat surface to be viewed, one will notice that both feet have subtle slants to their stance. Unfortunately, Leader Grimlock's feet cannot be swapped to correct this issue unless one manages to heat up the rivets holding them in with the tip of a soldering iron and carefully remove them.
:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

:His [[stock photography]] features a [[:File:AOE-Leader-Class-Grimlock.jpg|''completely'' different deco]] compared to the final product.

:The TakaraTomy version is dubbed '''Black Knight Grimlock''', and features a more [[Show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] deco... meaning he's almost entirely silver and grey, but with a bit of bronze. As with the Hasbro release, this Grimlock can also suffer from the incorrectly-assembled feet problem that the original Leader Class figure could have.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is a Leader-sized mold that transforms from robot into a dinosaur based on ''T. rex''. Due to a rough robot mode scale being a design intent of the line, Grimlock is the largest stand-alone figure in the line—his legs are bent awkwardly in package to allow him to fit and fellow Leader class toy [[Blackout (Movie)#Studio Series|Blackout]] only comes up to his shoulder. He features patina dry-brushing all over the figure to boost movie-accuracy. His coattails and teeth (on both heads) are made of soft rubber and may be slightly warped in-package. The spike on the front of his helmet and his dinosaur horns are also rubbery, but do not seem to have the same problem of coming out bent. His left hand has a 5mm peg hole but has trouble holding his Voyager version's mace due to differences in the size of the hands between the two. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Hong Kong battle in ''Age of Extinction''.

:His size relative to other toys in ''Studio Series'' is much smaller than what is depicted in the film.

'''Nemesis Prime''' (alternatively known as the '''Optimus Prime clone''') is a clone of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], constructed by a secretive human organization. They didn't do a brilliant job, though, leaving Nemesis Prime an uncontrollable creature, twisted in body and mind. Now the enraged, decaying machine pursues a single objective: exacting revenge on those who created him. His sole companion is [[Nemesis Grimlock]], a powerful being who has sworn loyalty to Nemesis Prime.

==Fiction==
===Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base===
Nemesis Prime and [[Nemesis Grimlock]] were at the [[Transformers Expo]], where they stepped up to aid another [[Yokohama Convoy|Nemesis Prime]] against the [[Autobot]] forces in the Expo. When the other Nemesis Prime's [[Dark Energon]] violently reacted with the artifacts contained in the Expo, he valiantly put all of the Dark Energon energies into his stickers, which he threw off. Along with the observing crowd, Nemesis Prime destroyed the stickers. After all was said and done, Nemesis Prime had a ride on Nemesis Grimlock. {{storylink|Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base}}

:''Kinetic Solutions Incorporated is a corporation from the [[live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Kinetic Solutions Logo.jpg|thumb|Wake the f*** up, Samurai! We have a [[Megatron (Movie)|Transformer]] to build.]]
In the aftermath of the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Battle of Chicago]] and the subsequent cleanup efforts, robotics company '''Kinetic Solutions Incorporated''' (abbreviated as '''KSI''') stands poised to dominate the world's technological marketplace with cutting edge technology aimed at the consumer market. Headed by [[Joshua Joyce]], many of the company's innovations are reverse-engineered from [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] sources.

Because that's worked out so well before.

==Fiction==
===''Age of Extinction'' film===
Joshua Joyce began KSI as a boy, with a dream to make the world a better place. After the [[Decepticon]] invasion of [[Chicago]], KSI began reverse engineering Cybertronian corpses in an attempt to create man-made Transformers for military use. Joyce eventually came into contact with [[Harold Attinger]], who promised him the "[[Seed]]" with which he could make more "[[Living metal#Live-action film series|Transformium]]", the metal which all Transformers came from, in exchange for 500 million shares of the company. KSI built as many as fifty Transformers, all under remote control, including [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]], [[Junkheap (AOE)|Junkheap]], [[KSI Sentry|KSI Sentries]], [[KSI Boss]]es, "[[Two Head]]s", and the [[Oreo Transformer]]. The pride of their CEO was "Galvatron", a drone created using data from Megatron's severed head. [[Brains]] was forced to work for them and was tortured whenever he spoke. Because of this, he declined to tell them Megatron was still alive and manipulating KSI, more specifically the Galvatron drone he wanted to use for a new body, resulting in it always looking like him instead of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Megatron equally made Galvatron capable of acting on his own and able to override the other drones. Attinger informed Joyce that [[Cade Yeager|a civilian]] had hacked their tech and knew of KSI's involvement in the Transformer hunts. Fortunately for Joyce, the civilian came to him, and Joyce happily turned him over to Attinger. However, KSI would soon suffer a crippling blow to their operations.

The Autobots eventually learned what KSI was doing and were very ticked. Optimus Prime was enraged to the point that he ordered his men to storm KSI's Chicago headquarters and he didn't care if humans were caught in the crossfire. When the Autobots arrived, they made a point to cause as much damage as possible. They destroyed most of the inactive prototypes and the Oreo Transformer along with the laboratory before Joyce convinced them that KSI was defending Earth from attacks just like the one they were committing and that humanity didn't need the Autobots. Visibly disgusted by Joyce, Optimus ordered his men to retreat. Before they left they freed Cade and Brains.

When the Autobots left, Attinger had Joyce deploy the only two drones that were spared, Galvatron and one Stinger, against them. Unknown to KSI, Megatron was eager for revenge on Optimus and transferred his mind to Galvatron. When the drones were deployed, Galvatron killed civilians freely and even ''spoke''. When they were recalled, Joyce had all the prototypes moved to a Chinese facility and expressed his fury that Galvatron had malfunctioned. Joyce's confidence turned shaky after Attinger revealed that he alone had been backing KSI's Transformers project, not the CIA as Joyce had been led to believe, effectively making Joyce an unwitting war-criminal.

After a call from Cade Yeager alerting him of Galvatron's true nature, Joyce placed Galvatron under extra security. Regardless, Galvatron activated himself, announced to the humans he was his own being, and took control over all their drones. He had them destroy the facility and find the "Seed". All the prototypes were destroyed in the subsequent battle with the Autobots and Galvatron fled. In the aftermath, Joyce seemed to have renounced building new Transformers. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

'''''Transformers: Shadows Rising''''' is an arcade rail shooter based on the [[Live-action film series|live action films]] and the follow-up to ''[[Transformers: Human Alliance]]''. Developed by [[Sega]] and released beginning in 2018, the game can be played with one or two players, and is available in a theater cabinet featuring a 55" HD screen.

==Gameplay==
Gameplay is largely identical to that of ''Human Alliance'', with up to two players using mounted gun turrets to fire at opponents on screen across four stages. The [[Pacific Ocean]], [[Wales]] and East [[China]] stages can be played in any order before moving on to the final stage, The [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. New to the game's control interface is the addition of a "Hyperenergy Tech" lever. This can be used to either create a shockwave that damages multiple enemies at once, or to generate a force field to protect the players from enemy attacks. Players can also push this lever in a specified direction or repeatedly press the start button at predetermined points to complete Action Sequence events and avoid potential damage. The game also includes an achievement system.

==Synopsis==
{{cleanup|May 2022|Grammar and tense}}
===Pacific Ocean===
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, [[Vanessa]], [[Jake (HA)|Jake]] and a group of NEST soldiers headed to the Pacific Ocean to infiltrate a mysterious base under the sea. They battle their way against the Decepticon forces until three Decepticon Drones who resemble [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] appear to engage Optimus. Thanks to Vanessa and Jake's help, Optimus kills Thundercracker and throws Starscream into the sea. Skywarp attempts to bring them with him and explodes, causing an explosive shockwave, but they all jump to the sea. After killing Starscream they find the base. Upon infiltrating it, both Jake and Vanessa are anchored and dragged through the corridors by an unidentified Decepticon, another Decepticon who resembles Sideswipe appears and they both engage him. After getting themselves free from the anchor and being picked up by Bumblebee, the Decepticon who anchored them is revealed to be identical to the one they are facing. After both of them are killed, Optimus realizes that all the unique Decepticons they killed are drones who resemble the originals, and that the humans couldn't have developed them.

===Wales===
Their next objective is to find out the source of an energy signal in Wales, where they encounter [[Scorn]] and [[Strafe (AOE)|Strafe]] wreaking havoc. They're attacked by three Decepticon drones who all resemble [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], and they destroy all of them.
After reaching the source, they are ambushed by Grimlock, who was being controlled by a device installed on his neck. After the device was destroyed, Grimlock recovered from what happened to him. Optimus then questions himself, who did that? And what for?

===East China===
Their next objective is to liberate [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] HQ on East China, since workers were missing and the Decepticons have took control of the HQ for themselves. After reaching the rooftop, they're ambushed by an Decepticon Drone who resembles [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], Sideswipe notes that he senses no spark in it. After helping Sideswipe kill him, both Jake and Vanessa used sniper guns to take out the remaining 'Cons in the area.
Upon returning to the ground, they're all confronted by an Decepticon Drone who resembles [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]], after destroying the drone, they access it's memories and discovered there was a [[Mothership|huge ship]] flying to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] and the missing workers were trapped inside as hostages. Optimus Prime then decided they must investigate.

===The Moon===
Their final mission is to rescue the hostages inside the ship on the moon and prevent its data from being transferred, since it could be used to create an army powerful enough to decimate all life on [[Earth]]. While trying to find a way inside, Optimus Prime is ambushed by [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)|Nemesis Prime]], Optimus then faces him with Vanessa and Jake's help, and assumingly triumphs over his doppelganger. After entering the ship, Optimus' clone returned, but he is soon killed by one who is behind all this Megatron. Optimus questions how is this possible, since the last time they met, he killed him, Megatron then revealed that KSI tried to analyze his corpse, but his brain was still functional, and so he used their resources to build a new body and all the hostages were no longer alive. After this revelation, both Optimus and Megatron fight and with the help of Jake, Vanessa and the other Autobots. Megatron is lunched into space, before dying however, Megatron screams that he will be reborn. With everything done the data transfer is interrupted and so they go to an escape pod to return to their home.

==Quotes==
"We never never surrender!" 
:— '''Optimus Prime''' is apparently quick to give up.

"The light rises and shadows are gone. There's a thin line between being a hero, and being a memory. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots."
:— '''Optimus Prime''' assembles an ending monologue from fortune cookie quotes.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* The game is set after ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' but ignores ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''.
* Much of the cast of ''Human Alliance'' returns for ''Shadows Rising'', this time accompanied by ([[Slug (AOE)|most of]]) the Dinobots.
* The Decepticon [[Mothership|warships]] and [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] from ''Dark of the Moon'' also reappear in the game.
* The M1 Abrams Decepticons from ''Dark of the Moon'' appear as enemy units.
* [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]], which was introduced in ''Age of Extinction'', appears during the East China stage.

===Transformers references===
* The assortment of enemy units are now joined by Seekers. And as is time-worn tradition, the Seekers are ([[Seeker (body-type)|obviously]]) recolors of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].
* Just like in the previous game, various action scenes emulate those in the movies, such as Sideswipe bisecting one of his clones like he bisected [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.
* The control room of the Decepticon warship Jake, Vanessa, and the Autobots board resembles that of [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s [[Knight Ship]].
* While never identified as such (the intro tag just labeling him as "Unidentified Unit"), the Optimus clone in the final stage is meant to be a version of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)|Nemesis Prime]], down to the blue flame details.
* Optimus's quote about being a hero or being a memory was said by his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 counterpart]] back in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

===Real-life references===

===Errors===
* You don't need to be an English major to know "We never never surrender" is both a double-negative and a pretty poor thing to shout when you're trying to encourage your troops.
* Megatron is somehow back to using his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body. And despite utilizing KSI technology to amass himself an army of Decepticons, he ''still'' hasn't attempted to fix his head wound from the same film.

===Trivia===
* During the credits, a voice will play advertising other contemporary Sega arcade titles, such as ''Hoopla'' and ''Daytona Championship USA''.

{{disambig3|Moon}}
[[File:FistfulofEnergon moon.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I didn't go to the moon; I went much further. For time is the longest distance between two places.]]

The '''Moon''' is the natural satellite of the planet [[Earth]], a big ball of rock orbiting, well, Earth. The [[Transformer]]s tend to have a lot of battles there.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 continuity family===
====Generation 1 cartoon continuity====
=====''The Transformers'' cartoon=====
In an attempt to hijack Earth's airwaves and cripple the [[human]]s' ability to communicate with each other, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] had a [[Decepticon lunar dome base|base]] built on the Moon. After [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]] and [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] were captured, Blaster sent music over Megatron's transmissions to let the [[Autobot]]s learn where they were. Once the [[Decepticon]]s had been driven off, Blaster commandeered the base to use it to hang. {{storylink|Blaster Blues}} One of Megatron's other plans involved using an [[orbit disruptor cannon]] to knock the Moon out of orbit, but it was never realized. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

Later, the Autobots and the Decepticons were fighting on the Moon when [[Oracle (G1)|a mysterious voice]] summoned [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]], the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], and the animal-form [[Mini-Cassette|cassettes]] to battle [[Tornedron]]. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

Humanity had constructed the [[Weather Observatory Moon Base]] on the Moon, but it was attacked by [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]]. {{storylink|Will the Bomber Project Be Destroyed!?}} [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]] flew to rescue the base's inhabitants, and despite some interference from Overlord, he successfully reached the Moon. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Into the Sky!!}} He then fought against Overlord and [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] on the Moon's surface, and with some help from [[Grand Maximus]], defeated them. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon}}

======''Victory'' cartoon======
In [[2025]], another [[Lunar Base (Victory)|Lunar Base]] had been built on the Moon, and fell the same fate as the Weather Observatory when the [[Dinoforce]] attacked it. While the base was destroyed, the crew were saved thanks to the [[Brainmaster]]s. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}}

======''Beast Wars II'' cartoon======
In a distant future where Earth was known as [[Gaia]], [[Artemis]] and [[Moon (BW)|Moon]] lived on the Moon. From there, they observed the battles between the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] on the planet's surface.

=====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics=====
[[File:Arksteelhavenmoon.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|The Autobots are on a critical search for cheese, {{w|A Grand Day Out|and skiing robots}}.]]
When the Autobot contingent led by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] arrived from [[Nebulos]] to Earth, they sought contact with the Autobots of Earth, who were aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], led at that point by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]. Instead of marshaling their forces, their first meeting degenerated into a duel over leadership under the Autobot [[Code of Combat]], with the Moon picked as a neutral location. As Grimlock faced off against the injured Fortress Maximus's proxy, Blaster, the [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]-led Decepticons ambushed the Autobots. While the combined efforts of the Autobots allowed them to defeat their attackers, the Ark was crippled, and with the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' having left to rebuild [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]], both groups were trapped on Earth's satellite. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

In a bout of extreme depression brought on by the death of [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], Optimus Prime ordered the Ark landed on the Moon to allow him walk and brood alone there. {{storylink|Yesterday's Heroes!}}

====''The Invisibility Factor''====
In one possible scenario, the Decepticons stole [[Sarah Sanders]]'s spaceship, and hid out on the dark of the Moon. The Autobots pursued them in their own spaceship, but were unable to see their enemies in the darkness. {{storylink|The Invisibility Factor}}

====2005 IDW continuity====
[[File:EnterTheShadow-SectionSabine.jpg|thumb|left|250px|No, I don't want to live on the moon.]]
[[Cobra]] built the lunar base [[Section Sabine]] on the Moon, but the facility and its personnel were abandoned after Cobra lost the ability to reach it. {{storylink|Enter the Shadow}}

During one period of their activities on Earth, the Autobots operated out of the ''[[Ark-7]]'' hidden from human scanners on the far side of the moon. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|Hello Cruel World}} Wanting to get away from spying eyes, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] chose the lunar surface as the location for a private conversation with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|The Crucible}}

[[Doctor X]] and [[Joe Colton|Baron Ironblood]] later brought [[Action Man]] and the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] to Section Sabine and were followed there by [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], [[Ayana Jones|Mayday]], [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]] and the [[Micronaut]]s. The moonbase was destroyed during the ensuing battle for the Talisman. {{storylink|Enter the Shadow}}

Following [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s destruction, [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]] and [[Aileron]] managed to escape his collapsing gravitational field and regrouped on the Moon, where they met up with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]]. Arcee and Aileron also celebrated surviving the apocalype; by holding each other close and [[kiss]]ing near the descent stage portion of an Apollo Lunar Module. {{storylink|Ceremony}}

{{-}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic===
[[File:Armada comic Moon.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Mini-Con]] ship, the ''[[Exodus (Armada)|Exodus]]'', crashed on the Moon, leaving half of it and many of its occupants trapped there. [[Dualor (Armada)|Dualor]] took control and organised them into a community—a very well-armed community who were not allowed to leave—and declared they had to defend themselves against both Autobot and Decepticon exploitation. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 9|Armada #9}}

When Dualor abducted Earth's Mini-Cons "for their own good," both Autobot and Decepticon attentions were drawn to the Moon. This led to the [[Mini-Con Moonbase]]'s eventual destruction and evacuation. {{storylink|Dreamwave Armada issue 11|Armada #11}}

===Panini ''Armada'' comic===
When the ''Exodus'' collided with the Moon, several pieces of the ship were left there. Four million years later, the Mini-Cons on Earth were reawakened, and their reactivation briefly bounced off a second transmitter on the wreckage on the Moon. {{storylink|Friends and Foes!}} [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]] soon came to investigate, making sure to step on a human flag while he was there. The Autobots stopped him from obtaining the Mini-Cons sleeping on the Moon by sending a remote-controlled pod to reactivate them and transport them to safety. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 6|Between Two Worlds!}}

Megatron subsequently decided to make the Moon his headquarters, and had a large base constructed on its surface. From there, he fired missiles at the Autobot base on Earth, but the Autobots managed to teleport the warheads right back at him. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 8|Earthshaker!}} Most of the Decepticon base was destroyed in the explosion, and what remained was further damaged when the [[Destruction Mini-Con Team]], who were living in a piece of ''Exodus'' wreckage on the Moon, used [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] to attack the Decepticons. {{storylink|Panini Armada issue 9|Dawn of Destruction!}}

===Unicron Trilogy cartoon continuity===
====''Armada'' cartoon====
The Mini-Con ship ''[[Exodus (Armada)|Exodus]]'' crash-landed on the Moon, scattering its [[Stasis lock|stasis-locked]] passengers all over Earth. {{storylink|First Encounter}} Later, the Decepticons would set up a base inside the derelict ship, from where they would teleport to various locations on Earth to search for the Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Metamorphosis (Armada)|Metamorphosis}}

====''Energon'' cartoon====
Ten years later, the Autobots and humans had established an energon mining base on the Moon's surface, creatively named [[Lunar City]]. They assigned [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] to guard it. This lasted right up until someone actually attacked it. {{storylink|Energon Stars}}

When he was being stalked by a [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|mysterious invisible assassin]], [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] went to the moon to lure his attacker out into the open and challenge him directly. {{storylink|Starscream the Mysterious Mercenary}}

[[Kicker Jones|Kicker]] eventually realized that there was still [[energon]]—and survivors—in the ruins of Lunar City, leading to the Autobots returning there. They built a new [[Energon tower (technology)|energon tower]] to protect the resurgent base. {{storylink|Kicker Beware!}}

Inferno used Lunar City's repaired and upgraded defenses to blast the three artificial "comets" that Megatron sent to destroy Earth. It didn't seem to help much. {{storylink|Energon Grid (episode)|Energon Grid}}

The Moon was later used as the launching point for the starship ''[[Miranda II]]''. {{storylink|Go for Unicron!}}

====''Cybertron'' cartoon====
After [[Vector Prime]] had raised the starship ''[[Atlantis]]'', it came under attack from the Decepticons, causing the Prime to warp it away. {{storylink|Deep}} With the ship so low on power however, it could jump to the far side of the moon. A battle between Autobots and Decepticons took place around the satellite for the [[Omega Lock]], a battle that ended in the ''Atlantis'' self-destructing, its wreck left in orbit of the moon. {{storylink|Ship}}

[[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] eventually repaired the ''Atlantis'', leaving it in the moon's orbit, bringing [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] there to heal. {{storylink|United}} When the ship was again attacked by the Decepticons, it warped away from the moon. {{storylink|Escape (episode)|Escape}}

===Live-action film series===
====IDW movie comics====
The [[Ark (DOTM)|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 his people, spoke directly into [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]'s mind, directing him to take the Decepticons aboard the smaller ship 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. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

In 1969, astronauts [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Buzz Aldrin]] were able to carry out the first brief excavation of the Ark. Years later [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] travelled to the moon, where he found the Ark spaceship and the [[pillar]]s. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

====''Ghosts of Yesterday''====
The [[Apollo 11]] mission contained the first manned human craft to reach the moon, which was launched in [[1969]] and crewed by [[Neil Armstrong]] and two others. Unknown to most people, this also served as an elaborate cover for the secret launch of ''[[Ghost 1]]'', a far more advanced spacecraft reverse-engineered from [[Transformer|alien technology]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

====Titan movie comic====
In a [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|divergent timeline]], the Decepticons succeeded at Mission City and conquered the United States. The Autobot reinforcements for Earth (all six of them) arrived on the Moon to avoid Decepticon detection and await orders. Pity the Decepticons detected them really soon, eh? {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}}

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
[[File:DOTM-Moonspacebridge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Nothing up there but dry rocks and those revolting Onion Men.]]
In 1961, the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], crash-landed on the Moon, with [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] and other Autobots aboard. The treacherous Prime had been trying to convene with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but his plans were waylaid by the crash as he and his crew were forced into stasis lock. On earth, the American government was alerted to the crash, and clandestinely used the [[Apollo 11]] mission as a way of exploring the ship and its secrets. [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Buzz Aldrin]] were the first two humans to set foot inside the vessel.

Decades later, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] travelled there aboard the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' with the express intention to explore the Ark and retrieve Sentinel Prime, after being alerted to the existence of the vessel who had previously been thought lost. Not long afterwards, the Decepticons used it as a staging point to launch their invasion of Chicago. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

====''The Last Knight'' film====
The Moon came under attack by the arrival of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], whose fragmented chunks scraped across the Moon's surface. The damage was so severe that chunks of the lunar surface were clawed away, exposing the molten magma of the Moon. The long-abandoned ''Ark'' as well as the ''Apollo 11'' landing site were both destroyed in the chaos. This calamity could be seen clearly from Earth, with the [[Junkyard (TLK)|junkyard]] Autobots taking notice with alarm and preparing to move out. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

====''Shadows Rising''====
In the final stage of the game, aptly titled The Moon, it is revealed that Megatron has created a secret base on the dark side of the moon (no not like the movie). The player and Optimus Prime must defeat Megatron and save the hostages he had taken.

{{locationstub|{{storylink|Transformers: Shadows Rising}}}}

===''Animated'' cartoon===
{{Idw-tfa}}
[[File:LugnutBlitzwingNemesis.JPG|left|250px|thumb|"Pretty breathtaking, huh?" "You said it, Lugnut! Everyone knows there's no air on the moon!"]]
''On his way to obtain the [[AllSpark]] on Earth, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] crashed the ''[[Nemesis (Animated)|Nemesis]]'' on the Moon after his piloting was distracted by [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]].'' {{storylink|Dispatches}} The vessel was later discovered by a human remote-control space rover, which was accidentally stomped to pieces by [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] when he and [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] landed near the ''Nemesis'' during their search for [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}}

The wreckage of the ''Nemesis'' was later used as Starscream's base of operations as he [[Starscream clone (Animated)|cloned himself]] using stolen [[protoform]]s that were stored on the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}} {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}} [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] and [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] briefly arrived on the Moon in search of Starscream, but were lured back to Earth by one of the clones. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}} Once he deemed his troops sufficient, Starscream again departed from the Moon with his clones in tow. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

Peace and quiet would not last long there, though. Sometime after Starscream and his clones left, [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], Starscream's head, [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]], and Lugnut transwarped there on [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]. There, the Decepticons proceeded to tear apart the ''Nemesis'' to construct three clones of Omega Supreme and hacked into [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]'s head to get the access codes to the giant Autobot so they could bring these clones online. During this, Starscream was able to roll his way into the ''Nemesis'', where his clone army was stored. He used one of the stolen protoforms on the ship to help form himself a new body, letting him finally be able to stand against Megatron. His victory was short-lived however, as Megatron blasted each unactivated clone, and then blew off Starscream's lower half. With the processes done, the new [[Lugnut Supreme]]s (with Lugnut inside Omega controlling them) transformed and rose up, and headed straight to Detroit. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

===''Shattered Glass''===
In prehistoric times, Earth had two moons. {{storylink|Shattered Time}}
{{note|It has not been specified whether the second moon is a [[Planet Buster]] as in the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon or not.}}

By the modern era, however, Earth had only one moon. When [[Blaster (SG)|Blaster]] tried to use the Decepticons' [[Space bridge|stellar spanner]] to reach Cybertron, a shot from [[Blitzwing (SG)|Blitzwing]] destroyed the control panel and stranded Blaster and his cassettes on the moon. {{storylink|Blitzwing Bop}}

Some time later, they escaped back to Earth with the unwitting aid of [[Solarbot]]. {{storylink|Solar Requiem}}

[[Dani Burns]]'s stricken solar-sail spaceship ''[[Echinoderm One]]'' was in danger of crashing into the Moon, however [[Blades (RB)|Blades]] steered it into a slingshot course instead. {{storylink|To Infinity... And Back}}

===Renegade Rhetoric===
In conjunction with the [[Guardian (GoBots)|Guardians]], [[UNECOM]] constructed a fleet of "Space Hawks" on the moon only for the [[Renegade]]s, hiding on the dark side of the moon, to steal a prototype and reverse engineer their own versions, launched from the moon to invade [[Gobotron]]. {{storylink|Source:Ask Vector Prime/Guest column#October 19, 2015|Ask Vector Prime}}

After [[human]]ity had become aware of the [[Transformer]]s, [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] ordered the Earth destroyed via a [[Planet Smasher]] that was built on the moon. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} When it was destroyed, the Decepticons activated a set of [[planetary engine]]s on the dark side of the moon, intending to slam the satellite into the Earth. The Autobots managed to reverse the flow of the engines, returning the moon to its original orbit, while Megatron ordered the Decepticons elsewhere. As [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] made a broadcast to Earth, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|a Cybertronian]] watching the Autobots from afar. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

{{videogame
|title= Transformers: Shadows Rising''
|prev=Transformers: Human Alliance
|image= Transformers-Shadows-Rising-Cabinet.jpg
|caption= Sit comfortably and fight!
|developer=Sega of China
|publisher=[[Sega]]
|date= [[2018]]
|platform= Sega RingEdge 2
}}

'''''Transformers: Shadows Rising''''' is an arcade rail shooter based on the [[Live-action film series|live action films]] and the follow-up to ''[[Transformers: Human Alliance]]''. Developed by [[Sega]] and released beginning in 2018, the game can be played with one or two players, and is available in a theater cabinet featuring a 55" HD screen.

==Gameplay==
Gameplay is largely identical to that of ''Human Alliance'', with up to two players using mounted gun turrets to fire at opponents on screen across four stages. The [[Pacific Ocean]], [[Wales]] and East [[China]] stages can be played in any order before moving on to the final stage, The [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]. New to the game's control interface is the addition of a "Hyperenergy Tech" lever. This can be used to either create a shockwave that damages multiple enemies at once, or to generate a force field to protect the players from enemy attacks. Players can also push this lever in a specified direction or repeatedly press the start button at predetermined points to complete Action Sequence events and avoid potential damage. The game also includes an achievement system.

==Synopsis==
{{cleanup|May 2022|Grammar and tense}}
===Pacific Ocean===
Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Vanessa, Jake and a group of NEST soldiers headed to the Pacific Ocean to infiltrate a mysterious base under the sea. They battle their way against the Decepticon forces until three Decepticon Drones who resemble [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] appear to engage Optimus. Thanks to Vanessa and Jake's help, Optimus kills Thundercracker and throws Starscream into the sea. Skywarp attempts to bring them with him and explodes, causing an explosive, shockwave, but they all jump to the sea. After killing Starscream they find the base. Upon infiltrating it, both Jake and Vanessa are anchored and dragged through the corridors by an unidentified Decepticon, another Decepticon who resembles Sideswipe appears and they both engage him. After getting themselves free from the anchor and being picked up by Bumblebee, the Decepticon who anchored them is revealed to be identical to the one they are facing. After both of them are killed, Optimus realizes that all the unique Decepticons they killed are drones who resemble the originals, and that the humans couldn't have developed them.

===Wales===
Their next objective is to find out the source of an energy signal in Wales, where they encounter [[Scorn]] and [[Strafe (AOE)|Strafe]] wreaking havoc. They're attacked by three Decepticon drones who all resemble [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]], and they destroy all of them.
After reaching the source, they are ambushed by Grimlock, who was being controlled by a device installed on his neck. After the device was destroyed, Grimlock recovered from what happened to him. Optimus then questions himself, who did that? And what for?

===East China===
Their next objective is to liberate [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]] HQ on East China, since workers were missing and the Decepticons have took control of the HQ for themselves. After reaching the rooftop, they're ambushed by an Decepticon Drone who resembles [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], Sideswipe notes that he senses no spark in it. After helping Sideswipe kill him, both Jake and Vanessa used sniper guns to take out the remaining 'Cons in the area.
Upon returning to the ground, they're all confronted by an Decepticon Drone who resembles [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]], after destroying the drone, they access it's memories and discovered there was a [[Mothership|huge ship]] flying to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] and the missing workers were trapped inside as hostages. Optimus Prime then decided they must investigate.

===The Moon===
Their final mission is to rescue the hostages inside the ship on the moon and prevent its data from being transferred, since it could be used to create an army powerful enough to decimate all life on [[Earth]]. While trying to find a way inside, Optimus Prime is ambushed by [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)|Nemesis Prime]], Optimus then faces him with Vanessa and Jake's help, and assumingly triumphs over his doppelganger. After entering the ship, Optimus' clone returned, but he is soon killed by one who is behind all this Megatron. Optimus questions how is this possible, since the last time they met, he killed him, Megatron then revealed that KSI tried to analyze his corpse, but his brain was still functional, and so he used their resources to build a new body and all the hostages were no longer alive. After this revelation, both Optimus and Megatron fight and with the help of Jake, Vanessa and the other Autobots. Megatron is lunched into space, before dying however, Megatron screams that he will be reborn. With everything done the data transfer is interrupted and so they go to an escape pod to return to their home.

==Quotes==
"We never never surrender!" 
:— '''Optimus Prime''' is apparently quick to give up.

"The light rises and shadows are gone. There's a thin line between being a hero, and being a memory. I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots."
:— '''Optimus Prime''' assembles an ending monologue from fortune cookie quotes.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* The game is set after ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' but ignores ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]''.
* Much of the cast of ''Human Alliance'' returns for ''Shadows Rising'', this time accompanied by ([[Slug (AOE)|most of]]) the Dinobots.
* The Decepticon [[Mothership|warships]] and [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] from ''Dark of the Moon'' also reappear in the game.
* The M1 Abrams Decepticons from ''Dark of the Moon'' appear as enemy units.
* [[Kinetic Solutions Incorporated|KSI]], which was introduced in ''Age of Extinction'', appears during the East China stage.

===Transformers references===
* The assortment of enemy units are now joined by Seekers. And as is time-worn tradition, the Seekers are ([[Seeker (body-type)|obviously]]) recolors of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].
* Just like in the previous game, various action scenes emulate those in the movies, such as Sideswipe bisecting one of his clones like he bisected [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.
* The control room of the Decepticon warship Jake, Vanessa, and the Autobots board resembles that of [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s [[Knight Ship]].
* While never identified as such (the intro tag just labeling him as "Unidentified Unit"), the Optimus clone in the final stage is meant to be a version of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)|Nemesis Prime]], down to the blue flame details.
* Optimus's quote about being a hero or being a memory was said by his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 counterpart]] back in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

===Real-life references===

===Errors===
* You don't need to be an English major to know "We never never surrender" is both a double-negative and a pretty poor thing to shout when you're trying to encourage your troops.
* Megatron is somehow back to using his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body. And despite utilizing KSI technology to amass himself an army of Decepticons, he ''still'' hasn't attempted to fix his head wound from the same film.

===Trivia===
* During the credits, a voice will play advertising other contemporary Sega arcade titles, such as ''Hoopla'' and ''Daytona Championship USA''.

His sole companion is [[Nemesis Grimlock]], a powerful being who has sworn loyalty to Nemesis Prime.

==Fiction==
===Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base===
Nemesis Prime and [[Nemesis Grimlock]] were at the [[Transformers Expo]], where they stepped up to aid another [[Yokohama Convoy|Nemesis Prime]] against the [[Autobot]] forces in the Expo. When the other Nemesis Prime's [[Dark Energon]] violently reacted with the artifacts contained in the Expo, he valiantly put all of the Dark Energon energies into his stickers, which he threw off. Along with the observing crowd, Nemesis Prime destroyed the stickers. After all was said and done, Nemesis Prime had a ride on Nemesis Grimlock. {{storylink|Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base}}
