The universe loves '''Waspinator''', so his toys get this page for themselves!

[[File:Waspinatorjbwtoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|The Japanese version is more [[Playskool]].]]
*'''Waspinator''' (Deluxe, [[1996]]/[[1997]])
**''Takara ID number'': '''D-3'''
**''Accessories'': Launcher, 2 missiles

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Deluxes, Waspinator transforms into a large organic wasp. His stinger separates to become a hand-held spring-loaded missile launcher for his [[robot mode]]; the bolts are stored on the underside of his insect-wings. His head is on a vertical column that rotates around a horizontal axle; each end has a different head, one "mutant", one "robot". The "mutant" head was used as the base for his CGI model, and thus the norm for his fictional portrayals.

: The initial [[Hasbro]] release of Waspinator came on a "rocky bubble" style card that was quickly phased out for a "smooth bubble" card style in wave 2. Wapinator shipped in both styles, but the rocky-bubble release is much rarer and demands more money on the secondary market, if you're into that kinda thing.

: The [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version of Waspinator (released a year later) uses slightly brighter, more primary colors than the Hasbro version (save for slightly-darker gray plastic), as well as giving his "normal" robot head a white face. It is currently unknown if he received a second "show-like" [[redeco]] like several other first-wave Takara ''Beast Wars'' toys.

:This mold was later [[redeco]]ed for a "[[Fox Kids]]" [[#FoxKids|version]], as well as both [[#Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|the Hasbro]] and [[#Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Takara 10th anniversary versions]] of the character.

: This mold was also used to make [[Buzz Saw (BW)#Toys|Buzz Saw]] and [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (BWII)#Dirggegun|Dirgegun]].

*'''Quickest Showdown: Cheetus VS Waspeeter''' (VS pack, July 1997)
**''ID number:'' '''VS-3'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, 2 missiles

:In Japan, Waspinator was available both separately and in a "Quickest Showdown" (最速の対決, ''saisoku no taiketsu'') VS pack with [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#VS3|Cheetor]]. Both toys are identical to their original (Japanese) releases.

: Currently, it is unknown if the later "show-like" versions of the two toys were ever released in the VS set.

*'''Waspinator''' (Deluxe Transmetal, [[1998]])
**''Takara ID number'': '''D-42'''
**''Accessories'': Stinger-rifle

:Now an almost completely robotic figure, [[Transmetal]] Waspinator transforms into a robotic wasp. He features a [[transportation mode|F-15-like jet mode]], flipping and folding his wings into a fighter-jet configuration as well as flipping a cockpit/nosecone between his insect-head mandibles. Though he appears solid black at first glance, he is actually made of very dark transparent-black/green plastic.

:The Takara version of this toy is almost completely identical, except the "WASPINATOR" [[tampograph]] on his wing was replaced with "DESTRON" and the Predacon sigil.

:This mold was later [[redeco]]ed for a "[[Fox Kids]]" [[#FKTM|version of the character]]. It was also slated for a ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[#Universe (2003)|version of Waspinator]], but that set was canceled.

*'''Gale Showdown: Metals Cheetus VS Metals Waspeeter''' (VS pack, [[1999]])

:In Japan, Transmetal Waspinator was available both individually and in a "Gale Showdown" (疾風の対決 ''Hayate no Taiketsu'') two-pack with [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#VS42|Transmetal Cheetor]]. The two-pack version was unchanged from the normal individually-packaged one.

*'''Waspinator''' (Deluxe, 1999)
**''Accessories'': Launcher, 2 missiles

:Part of the first wave of "[[Fox Kids|FoxKids!]]" Deluxe redecoes, this toy has a ''radically'' different color scheme than the original, consisting primarily of slate blue and green-gold plastic, with dark blue (barely) translucent parts.

:Hasbro solicitations for this toy gave it the name "Power Flight Waspinator",<ref>https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.toys.transformers/C30fV9dqOK0/gPO8D3N_PAUJ</ref> but this name never made it to final packaging.

:This toy's deco was later used for the non-toy character [[Buzzbomb]].

**''Accessories'': Stinger-rifle

: The only new toy in the third wave of 2000 "Fox Kids!" Transmetals, this toy's deco bears more than a passing resemblance to that of [[Buzz Saw (BW)|Buzz Saw]].

: This toy was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Waspinator (BWSG)|Waspinator]], and the deco was used as the basis for the [[BotCon 2015]] ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Mudfighter#Toys|Mudfighter]] toy.

[[File:Waspinator unreleased.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Wazzpinator... purple?]]
*'''Nightprowler vs. Waspinator''' (Halloween Horrorcon Value Pack, <s>200?</s>)

:For a brief time, [[Hasbro]]'s official website checklist featured listings for two "Halloween [[Horrorcon (Universe)|Horrorcon]] Value Packs" that were to be Wal-Mart [[exclusive]]s... which also likely explains why they were canceled. (Wal-Mart had taken a good half-dozen exclusives and released them more-or-less simultaneously, leading to a huge glut. A lot of other ''Transformers'' exclusives were canceled during the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' era.)

:In 2004, several test-shots appeared on eBay in a group, among them the Transmetal Waspinator toy with opaque-salmon wings and lavender insect legs. This, presumably, was to have been the ''Universe'' incarnation of Waspinator, as the other toys in the group line up with the names given for the two Halloween sets. He was to come in a "Vs." two-pack with the presumably-[[Autobot]] character [[Nightprowler]].

:This toy's deco was later used for the ''Timelines'' [[Parasite]] / [[Skywasp]] toy.

*'''Waspinator''' (Beast Wars 10th Anniversary, [[2006]])
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, 2 missiles, Transmutate's head

:This toy is a slight [[redeco]] of the first Waspinator toy to make it closer to Waspinator's cartoon appearance, replacing the gray with green and adding extra gold [[Paint operation|paint applications]]. He came with the head to [[Transmutate (BW)|Transmutate]] plus a DVD with the episode "[[Possession]]".

===''Timelines''===
[[File:TL-toy Waspinator-BC06.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|This works surprisingly well on many levels.]]
* '''Darksyde Megatron and Darksyde Waspinator''' (Bagged set, 2006)
** ''Accessories'': 2-part rifle

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at the [[BotCon 2006]] event itself, this ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' two-pack represents Waspinator and Megatron before the events of the ''Beast Wars'' show. "Darksyde Waspinator" is a Basic-sized figure, originally used for ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Thundercracker]], which autotransforms to robot mode from a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Dassault Rafale|Dassault Rafale fighter jet]]. (One can surmise, however, that it is meant to represent a Cybertronic design in this case.) His rifle splits into two pieces, which store in the backs of his lower legs.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Dirge (BWII)#Toys|Dirge]], [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Skyfire (RID)#Toys|Skyfire]], and ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[Wingstun#Toys|Wingstun]].

* '''Thrustinator''' (TFSS 2.0, [[2014]])
**''TFSS2 number'': '''3'''
** ''Accessories:'' missile launcher, 2 missiles

:Part of the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Series 2.0 (2014)|Figure Subscription Service]] 2.0, ''Timelines'' Thrustinator is the Deluxe-sized [[Dirge (BWII)#Dirgegun|Dirgegun]] tooling with a [[retool]]ed head, now [[redeco]]ed to look like an amalgam of Waspinator and [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]]. His stinger becomes a hand-held spring-loaded missile launcher; the missiles are hidden in each of his wings. These missiles can also be used in the launcher mounted on his beast mode back. This mold has a pop-up gun in place of the mutant head found on the original, meaning you have to flip his head down if you want to use this feature in robot mode.

:The original version of Dirgegun's mold was, of course, used for like a dozen Waspinators and a Buzz Saw.

*'''Waspeeter''' (Deluxe, [[2007]])
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TM-04'''
**''Accessories'': Launcher, 2 missiles

:This toy is a ridiculously-extensively-painted redeco of the first Waspinator toy to make it almost completely [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] to Waspinator's cartoon appearance (forgiving mold issues and [[unpaintable plastic]], of course).

:He came with a DVD of the episode "The Aerial Mountains Explode", the Japanese dub of "[[Power Surge (episode)|Power Surge]]".

*'''Waspinator''' (Micro-Changer, 2012)
**''Bag number'': '''21451 2'''
**''Accessories'': Small pistol

: Part of a six-figure "preview" wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Waspinator is a [[blindpacked]] bagged mini-figure. He comes with extra parts which help him form a crude wasp form. He has big purple bug-eyes hidden under his visor, and a chest deco of a wasp-head like the [[Waspinator (BW)|original ''Beast Wars'' Waspinator]] (complete with [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[faction symbol]]!), which is normally hidden by his armor.

: He uses [[Jazz (Kre-O)|Jazz]]'s helmet. His body armor, wings and "insect legs" come from the ''Battleship'' sets; the armor is simply for the US soldier Kreons, the wings are swim flippers, while his "legs" are rifle supports, which are also used for [[Scorponok (Kre-O)|Scorponok]]'s [[beast mode]] legs.

*'''Starscream & Waspinator''' (Legends Class, [[2013]])
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #003'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null ray cannons

:Part of the fourth wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Waspinator comes with [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Starscream]] in [[homage]] to the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode, "[[Possession]]". Waspinator can transform into a wasp, a robot with [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] hands, and a gun with a [[5 mm post|5 mm handle]]. He has an [[autotransformation]] feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.

*'''Waspinator''' (Deluxe Class, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #008'''
**''Accessories:'' stinger/gun

:Waspinator is a Deluxe Class sculpt that is proof that there is indeed a God, and that He loves fans of ''Beast Wars''. His design is based on his classic appearance in the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, but he can pass for his appearance in IDW's ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics if you want! His [[gimmick]] is that pressing a button on his back makes his wings beat.

:Due to the use of standardized 5 mm peg holes for his hands, Waspinator is capable of wielding the smaller version of himself that came in the Legends Class two-pack with Starscream in weapon mode.

:The version released in the United States comes with a reprint of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Homecoming (IDW)|issue #19]] sporting an [[:File:RID19 cvrHAS.jpg|exclusive cover]]. The versions released in Canada and Latin America come without the comic.

:Multiple reports indicate that the thin plastic parts used for the hinge joints required for the transformation of his shoulders have a tendency to develop cracks very quickly, sometimes straight out of the packaging. Thus far, there have been no reports of actual breakage, though.

:Oddly, the instructions (in the Hasbro release at least) fail to mention separating the two halves of the beast mode head when creating the robot mode chest. Indeed, the line-art depicts the robot mode chest with the two pieces closed, completely obscuring the underlying 'breast bone' section.

:This mold was redecoed into [[BotCon 2015]]'s four [[Waruder]] mechs, [[Storm Rider]], [[Paralyzer]], [[Parasite]], and [[Mudfighter]], the latter of which is also prepurposed/[[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''Shattered Glass'' [[Waspinator (BWSG)|Waspinator]].

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Transformers: Generations (Japan)|Generations]]'' release of Legends Class Waspinator is redecoed in darker shades of green and features silver eyes in robot mode instead of blue.

**''Accessories'': gun/stinger

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Waspeeter is a redeco of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class Waspinator, exclusive to [[Transformers Fes2016]]. Unlike the previous TakaraTomy version of the toy, it tones down the metallic plastic finish, most noticeably changing its gold to yellow. It also paints the bee stripes on the robot head's antenna. The toy comes packaged with a Waspinator edition mini-comic, "[[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Waspinator)|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX]]".

===''War for Cybertron: Kingdom''===
*'''Waspinator''' (Deluxe Class, [[2021]])
**''Hasbro ID number'': '''TBA'''
**''Accessories'': Stinger/gun

:A rather late addition to the ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' toyline, Waspinator is part of the fourth wave of Deluxe figures, converting from a show-accurate robot into a "realistic" wasp (much like his previous [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#T30Deluxe|''Generations'']] release) in 20 steps.

:The show model's iridescent details are represented as clear purple plastic, in lieu of the metallic paint and milky-clear plastic of the ''Thrilling 30'' figure. Waspinator's weapon is concealed in his abdomen, and has sculpting on its underside to resemble his show model's pistol (though its lack of transformation and paint means he's holding an unaltered wasp stinger from most angles). His insect-leg kibble has moved around compared to prior toys (and the show model): his rear insect legs are now attached to his robot mode's shins.

:Along with his wave mate [[Shadow Panther#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Shadow Panther]], Waspinator lacks the cave painting depicting his beast mode on the back of the box.

:Like most of this toyline, Waspinator comes with one of four possible holographic [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards for his wave, which reveals a [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|possible destiny]] of a key character.

:Waspinator was first found in September 2021 at Irion Toystore in [[Chile]]<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/waspinator-and-shadow-panther-in-package-images.1220058/ "These figures (part of Kingdom Wave 4 Deluxe) showed up out of nowhere at Irion Toystore, a single Toystore at Santiacho, Chile."]</ref>, prior to an official reveal.

Frenzy (Movie)

{{disambig3|Frenzy}}
:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Transformers]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie frenzy.png|right|300px|thumb|"They are all laser-guided and I get CRAZY if you touch them!"]]
'''Frenzy''' is small, sneaky, skittering and single-minded. His hyper-active twitching and lightning-speed gibbering in [[Cybertronian language|his own tongue]] belie incredible espionage and sabotage skills, but it is in causing chaos and carnage that Frenzy truly excels. This creepy little abomination is the best there is at what he does, and approaches his tasks with a level of sinister glee that make it hard to deter him from a course of action once he has settled upon it.

Frenzy is exceptionally hard to kill, due to the fact that he possesses a de-centralized, modular nervous system. In essence it means that even if he suffers critical injuries—such as getting his head severed, which seems to be a not-infrequent problem for him—he can continue to function. In addition to this, he is equipped with a hyper-reactive [[trans-scan]]ning and reformatting system that allows him to totally reconfigure his alternate mode with ridiculous speed, meaning that he can be something one minute, and something completely different the next. Although this is something which he does regularly anyway, it also works regardless of what state of disrepair he may be in, making it quite the challenge to keep track of him.<ref>Frenzy's profile in [[Transformers Comic issue 7]], which was re-worked from his entry in ''[[Transformers: The Movie Guide]]''. Unsurprisingly, it dropped that book's bizarre claim that Frenzy was "quiet" and "not very talkative".</ref>

==Fiction==

====''Transformers'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Reno Wilson]] (English)|[[Zhang Yaohan]] (Chinese)}}

[[Image:Readingisfundamental.jpg|left|180px|thumb|This is the only newspaper in the country that is not afraid to tell the truth: that everything is just fine.]]

A skittering little weirdo, Frenzy smuggled himself aboard [[Air Force One]] disguised as a CD player boom-box. He made his way to the lower decks, carried by an [[Tracy|unsuspecting flight attendant]] who was on a vital mission to the storage area to "wrangle up some Ding-Dongs" for the [[President of the United States|President]]. Once left alone, he got into the server area and began to work his magic, simultaneously hacking the national database and uploading a virus, re-attempting the hack that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] had tried at the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base|SOCCENT Base]] in [[Qatar]] earlier. This attempt was discovered by government agent [[Maggie Madsen]], and the defense network was shut down in order to halt the hack. Frenzy was so pissed he slammed his head into the screen, but he'd managed to finish uploading the virus, which would later shut down global communications, and got a little bit of info on what he was looking for.

[[Image:Frenzy armed.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Not someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley...or a well-lit one, for that matter.]]

He was discovered by Secret Service agents, whom he quickly dispatched with his disc-blade launcher before hiding away in boom-box form again. When Air Force One landed, he escaped through the landing gear, slipping into the awaiting Decepticon [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. (Real good job keeping an eye out, Secret Service.) After [[:Image:Frenzy_movie_bird.JPG|flipping the military the bird]] and bitching about how the "stupid insects" shot at him, he informed Barricade of his new discovery: [[Archibald Witwicky|the Witwicky man]] who had suspiciously displayed knowledge of Cybertronian writing. After a quick [[Yahoo]] web search using Barricade's on-board police department laptop, Frenzy determined their next target...a human called "[[Sam Witwicky|LadiesMan217]]" who was in possession of the Witwicky man's glasses, which in turn could lead them to the <s>Precious</s> [[AllSpark]].

When Barricade was forced to go to robot mode in order to handle [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he released Frenzy to chase the humans the [[Autobot]] was guarding. Frenzy tackled his primary target and even managed to get his pants off (Kinky!), but [[Mikaela Banes|the female human]] attacked him with a reciprocating saw she'd found and cut off his head. To add insult to injury, LadiesMan217 punted the Decepticon's head away. It was actually to Frenzy's benefit, however, as he landed not too far from the female's purse, which had spilled when Bumblebee had dumped them out earlier. Still alive and ambulatory despite losing most of his body mass, he speared and scanned the female's cell phone, changed his form to match it, and hid out in her purse.

[[Image:Frenzy head.JPG|left|200px|thumb|"What is it, Frenzy?" "STARSCREAM! SEND REINFORCEMENTS! I'M UNDER ATTACK BY AQUATIC LIFEFO—" *Starscream terminates the link*]]

Frenzy stayed hidden, watching the activities of the humans, including their meeting with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot]]s. Taken to LadiesMan217's house, Frenzy poked his head out to better observe, but was frightened by some {{w|Goldfish|aquatic lifeforms}} LadiesMan217 had. Frenzy poked one of his optics out when the glasses were discovered, but remained hidden during the subsequent encounter with [[Sector Seven]]. Arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Frenzy slipped away...and fell off the side of the dam, landing painfully at the bottom. This allowed him to sneak into the secret Sector Seven operations hangar deep within the dam, where both the AllSpark and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had been kept for nearly a hundred years. Tapping into the AllSpark's power, he restored his body, then sent a message to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were here. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy set about the task of releasing his master. He went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed, while Starscream destroyed the power lines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.

As Megatron and Starscream went to assist the rest of the Decepticons in securing the AllSpark, Frenzy remained at the dam to tie up any loose ends. When [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], Maggie and [[Glen Whitmann]] ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy made it into the room via the air ducts and fought the humans with his machine guns and [[shuriken|flying blades]]. One blade, however, ricocheted madly across the room, and took out most of Frenzy's head. With a muttered "oh shit," Frenzy collapsed. {{storylink|Transformers (film)}}

{{note|Frenzy's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers (novel)|Transformers]]," "[[Transformers: The Junior Novel]]" and "[[The Quest for the AllSpark]]"; the "[[Transformers: Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; the activity book "[[Look and Find Transformers]]"; and the storybooks "[[Bumblebee Rumble]]," "[[Optimus Prime Versus Megatron]]," "[[Meet the Decepticons]]," and "[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]."}}

Seymour Simmons kept Frenzy's head with his secret stash of stolen Sector Seven material in the basement below his mother's deli. [[Leo Spitz]] reached out to touch it, but Simmons shooed him away, saying it was still radioactive. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===Novels===
====''Ghosts of Yesterday''====
Frenzy was a member of the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis']]'' crew in 1969, when it encountered the human space ship ''[[Ghost 1]]''. He suggested that the ship's obvious Cybertronian influences might be a clue to [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s whereabouts, though [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was skeptical. Frenzy joined [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in an attack on the Autobot ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' when they found it, against Starscream's wishes. His attempt at a sneak attack from behind on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was met with a sturdy punch, and then he had Blackout thrown at him. Blackout subsequently called a retreat. After Optimus left the ''Ark'' on a mission, the Decepticons tried their luck again, and during the space-borne battle, Frenzy and Blackout double-teamed [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]].

When Starscream returned to the Decepticons, but was evasive about what had happened and whether the ''Ghost 1'' crew knew where Megatron was, Frenzy and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] were spectators as he fought with Blackout over the matter. Following Blackout's loss, Frenzy reaffirmed his loyalty to Starscream. They engaged the Autobots in combat again afterwards, and Jazz made swift work of putting Frenzy out of commission, despite the Autobot still being weakened from the earlier fight. Frenzy was presumably retrieved during the later Decepticon retreat. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

====''The Veiled Threat''====
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Simmons rigged Frenzy's head up to some wires in the hopes of tapping his brain for clues on how to deal with the Transformers. Of course, Frenzy did not appreciate either Simmons's probing or his helplessness, though he remained confident that one of his fellow Decepticons would free him at some point. When he finally started talking, Simmons tried to get him lucid enough to answer questions, but instead Frenzy attempted to reach a nearby electrical transformer and caused a power surge in the apartment building's wiring. Simmons unplugged Frenzy, but the disaster resulted in him having to move his work to the basement of his mother's deli. There Simmons managed to get more information out of Frenzy, but nothing useful. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Frenzydefiance3.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
Millenia ago on Cybertron, while Optimus and his team were being led away, Frenzy spied upon and relayed their coordinates to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who intended to ambush the group and kill all bar Optimus, as ''Lord'' Megatron intended to deal with the ''traitor'' personally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[File:FrenzyremainsRoSS2.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
After Megatron was killed and the AllSpark destroyed, Starscream returned to the freeway to seek out Barricade, perhaps the only other surviving Decepticon on Earth. When informed that Frenzy had stolen all of Sector Seven's files on their race and most importantly, the AllSpark, Starscream realised that he must secure Frenzy's remains if he were to save all of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

[[File:Simmonsgrabsfrenzyheadalliance3.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
During Starscream's second attack on Hoover Dam, Sector Seven scientists were moving Frenzy's remains from the alien archives room in which he had been deactivated. Suddenly, Starscream smashed his way in, demanding the humans turn over his compatriot to him, with which they complied. Later, after Starscream returned to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], he ordered [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] hook Frenzy up to their ship's computer. The retrieved data revealed the source of a lot of Sector Seven's knowledge regarding Transformers as coming from the resurrected [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} With the knowledge contained within Frenzy, Starscream was able to build a new AllSpark, though it didn't pan out exactly as he had planned. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}
A month later, when Starscream returned to get his revenge, Wreckage tore at the Decepticon, and Frenzy's body fell out. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} [[Seymour Simmons]] secretly took the head for himself. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

Frenzy's head injuries failed to kill him and he remains on guard at the former [[Sector Seven]] base. He also has learnt English, seemingly only so he can threaten you with a messy death.

When [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] tried to free Optimus from the former Sector Seven base, Frenzy began stalking the human. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} His attempt to shoot her in the back failed, and she declared she'd take him out for good this time. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} She wasn't able to land a blow on him but she had the mental advantage, tricking him into shattering a liquid nitrogen tank and freezing himself to death.

After being pursued by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], Barricade and Frenzy broke into a secure facility to steal [[NEST]] access codes. Frenzy hacked into the computer, only to be grabbed by Sideswipe, balled up and rolled along the floor to Barricade, who picked him up. Frenzy tried to loudly warn his partner of the Autobot's presence. Barricade threw Frenzy at Sideswipe, who batted the tiny Decepticon back. Kicked around the floor during the subsequent struggle, Frenzy continued jabbering, and gave Barricade the suggestion which allowed him to defeat Sideswipe. The access codes obtained, Barricade carried Frenzy away. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 6}}

==Games==
===''Transformers'' The Game===
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Frenzy was seen digging through the mangled and twitching chassis of a dead Autobot. It's unlikely he was digging through it to find the AllSpark. Megatron nearly crushed him under his foot. It is entirely possible that he was annoyed with Frenzy.

Frenzy arrived in Tranquility to meet up with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], possessing information that Starscream said was vital. When Barricade attempted to link up with him, he discovered that Frenzy had been captured by [[Sector Seven|some armed humans]]. Frenzy was held captive in a small SUV (which seemed virtually indestructible) but Barricade eventually rescued him. Barricade later relayed to Starscream that Frenzy had discovered a lead on the AllSpark and Megatron...an artifact in the possession of a human named Sam.

Later, he served as Starscream's intelligence liaison when the Decepticon's Acting-Commander was searching for [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], jabbering away in his own language. (A translation is NOT subtitled directly, with Frenzy being the only character to NOT speak English in the game. He just wants to be different...or annoying.) {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

====Deluxe Class Barricade companions====
[[Image:Movie DeluxeBarricade toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Yeah, I'm really this size. Seriously.]]
*'''Barricade''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-02'''

: Included with the larger Deluxe Barricade is a very out-of-[[scale]] Frenzy (putting him somewhere around 7 feet tall) that folds up to become the larger 'Con's grill in both vehicle and robot mode. It is barely poseable and falls over as easily as Generation 1 [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/Barricade/barricade.htm More information on the original Frenzy at TFU.info]''

: This Wal*Mart [[exclusive]] deluxe package comes with an unaltered Bumblebee, Barricade and, by extension, Frenzy.
{{-}}{{anchor|Recon}}
[[Image:Mov2007-toy ReconFrenzy.JPG|right|75px|thumb|Here we go again.]]
*'''Recon Barricade''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)

:This Frenzy is [[FIRRIB|blue!]] Coming with the Barricade [[redeco]], Frenzy similarly gets a new color scheme, that is possibly based on G1 Frenzy or G1 Rumble. Oddly he's the only one with blue eyes like in the movie, but then again the ''whole toy'' is blue.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[File:Mov-toy Frenzy FAB.jpg|right|upright=1.66|thumb|Stupid insects made me look fat.]]
*'''Disc Blast Decepticon Frenzy''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Launching disc

: Released in the third wave of [[Fast Action Battlers]] toys, "Disc Blast" Frenzy transforms into a two-speaker stereo CD/cassette/radio, with "Frenzy 97.7" on the small painted screen and two [[Decepticon]] [[insignia]]s on his radio mode, with one being ''sideways'' due to being used for robot mode. His posable antenna is made of soft plastic and is mounted via [[ball joint]] and socket, although the angle that the antenna is molded at prevents it from straightening up in radio mode. In both modes, he can launch a disk (sculpted to resemble his bladed shuriken-things) from his chest/stereo-mode CD slot via pressure-launch when a button on his back is pressed; in robot mode, this button is pressed by pushing in a large chunk of radio which then pushes the normal button.

: Despite Fast Action Battlers being a simpler toyline for younger children, Frenzy is fairly complicated to transform, with his limbs needing to fold up and stack in a certain order to allow clearance for half his mass to flip around into the intended mode.

: Frenzy is obviously fairly inaccurate to the CGI model due to actually having to turn ''into'' something specific (which the CGI model was not actually designed to do), having massive amounts of bulky [[kibble]]. It is also completely off-model to the movie radio, which is probably due to the figure having been designed before the character's final alt mode was determined.

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplica Frenzy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|STOP, in the name of love. Or I'll shoot you!]]
*'''Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Disc blade, alternate weapon arm

: The [[Robot Replicas]] non-Transforming action figure of Frenzy is considerably closer to the movie's CGI model, even having blue optics rather than the red of most of his other toys. His left forearm can be replaced with an alternate forearm in its machinegun configuration.

: Frenzy is unique among the Robot Replicas in a couple of ways. First, he is the only one that does ''not'' use the [[Revoltech]]-style joints, owing likely to the thinness of his limbs. Secondly, he is the only one with an "action feature" gimmick of sorts; he comes with a CD-blade accessory that stores in his chest, and pushing a button on his back pops it out. The disc does not shoot very far though, unless you really give the button a firm, swift whack, and even then, you're not gonna get much airtime on it.

====Non-transforming Screen Battles figures====
[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles SamMikaelaFrenzy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I just want some PANTS. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!...and maybe your blood, but mostly the PANTS!]]
*'''First Encounter''' (Screen Battles, 2007)

: This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure The only real difference is the Frenzy mini-figure, which is now cast entirely in black plastic, sports ''no'' paint applications and is supposed to be stuck permanently inside Barricade's chest thanks to a new, additional piece of plastic (as a matter of fact, the Frenzy figure is also neither advertised on the packaging nor depicted in the instructions). The only way to free him is to remove all four screws from Barricade's undercarriage, then pry the halves of the car apart and slip Frenzy (and his plastic blockade) out quickly.

:The pack also comes with unposeable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, a semi-in-scale Frenzy, and Mikaela holding the reciprocating saw she uses to attack him. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee. So even though this pack ''technically'' contains ''two'' Frenzy figures, Hasbro put a lot of effort into neutering one of them as good as they could.

:This only applies to the Hasbro version. However, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the pack features a Barricade that is identical to the single pack version, including an easily removable Frenzy figurine cast in grey plastic with painted red eyes.

====Fast food kids meal toys====
[[Image:Movietoy-RedRoosterFrenzy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Even more awesome than it looks!]]
*'''Frenzy''' (Red Rooster, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 discs

: Frenzy transforms from a stereo to a stereo with legs! He comes with two discs, which he can launch. He can launch them mightilly! No, seriously. That little bugger sure can shoot. Which is good, because it's basically all he does.

: (Yeah, there's the transformation... but... well... just look at the picture.)

: (Yup, it's too awesome for words, we know. But it's still pretty simplistic.)

===Revenge of The Fallen===

=====Human Alliance=====
*'''Barricade and Decepticon Frenzy''' (2009)
[[Image:ROTF HumanAlliance Barricade&Frenzy.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Aren't I supposed to be dead?]]
:This figure was first revealed during Hasbro's panel at [[BotCon 2009]] and comes with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. Frenzy is the same size as the other Human Alliance 'assist' figures, but being 4-4½ft tall, is much closer to being on scale with his partner. He has articulation in the neck, shoulders, waist, hips and knees, but the more common red eyes instead of the movie-accurate blue. Frenzy can sit in either of Barricade's seats in vehicle mode (the right of which can become a gun mount on his shoulder), he can stand behind Barricade's head, and can fold up to be stored inside a cavity in Barricade's chest in either mode.

:''[[Asia Premium Series]]'' Frenzy is a rerelease of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Human Alliance]] figure above and retains all of the features of the original.

**''Accessories'': Rifle/tank cannon
:Released as part of the [[Target]]-exclusive Bumblebee Cassette Pack, Frenzy is a redeco of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Rumble (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Rumble]] in [[Frenzy (G1)|traditional Frenzy colors]] (as far as [[FIRRIB|standards]] go), transforming from spy-tablet to tank to robot. In spy-tablet mode he can be stored in [[Soundwave (ROTF)/toys#Bumblebee|Soundwave]]'s chest, and features a 1:1 scale audio port that you can connect a pair of headphones to.

:Frenzy is bundled with [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#CassettePack|Bumblebee]], [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)#Toys|Buzzsaw]], and [[Howlback (BB)|Howlback]].

*'''Autobot Jazz vs. Decepticon Frenzy''' (2007)

: Released with ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], this version of Frenzy is the most adorably goofy razor blade death robot you ever saw. For some reason he is colored a dark tan, perhaps to offer some color contrast to his pack-in partner. Like the other first wave movie Decepticons, his design was tweaked to be much more human and less monstrous. He only has two (red) eyes, and he has a wide toothy grin in the middle of his mandibles. His articulation is limited to the shoulders, however his head DOES have limited wiggle room on its own joint.

==Notes==
* An early version of the script featured [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and Frenzy as one and the same character, named "[[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]". He would have infiltrated the CIA headquarters (rather than Air Force One) in the form of a "portable stereo" and then transformed (and size-shifted) into a Humvee for his escape.<ref name="early">Details from an early script draft [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2213120&postcount=297 summed up here], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2214148&postcount=303 confirmed as authentic by Roberto Orci here].</ref>
*Frenzy had three working names; '''Boombot''' was first, '''Soundwave''' was second, and '''Soundbyte''' was third.
*Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie with blue optic lighting, though most of his released toys have them painted red. It's possible this was a late-ish change, as even the [[Transformers (Glu)|mobile game]] has him sporting red optics.
*Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie whose whole robot mode was created as a real physical puppet for filming, used in certain shots aboard Air Force One (they did make the lower half of frozen Megatron as a set piece, plus [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s head and tail, but that's not quite the same thing). He and Bumblebee are the only Transformers in the film to have full-body robot mode props.
*Extra pieces of the Frenzy puppet, specifically some fingers, were used to make the charred prop of the "dead" [[Nokia-bot]].
*Frenzy (or at very least, a robot who looked ''just'' like him) was most certainly ''not'' in a cage in the back of the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. You were seeing things! It was swamp gas! No, wait—a weather balloon! But definitely ''not'' a robot alien from outer space!
[[Image:Frenzystereo.jpg|right|150px|thumb|According to user reviews, Frenzy is terrible for XM.]]
*Frenzy's robot mode was designed without an exact alternate mode in mind. It was known he was going to be a boom-box, but the designers had to produce a robot mode before the make/model was finalized.
*Frenzy transforms into a real on-the-market GPX portable stereo boombox... in the movie, at least. You know you want one. (His [[Fast Action Battlers]] toy, and various storybooks, depict him as made-up stereo models.)
*Frenzy's dialogue includes some actual English: "Witwicky", "ladiesman217", "Go, go, go!", "Surprise!", "Where is it?!(X2), "Yes(X5), Megatron(X3)!", "Oh! Megatron melting." and the ever-famous "Oh shit." The rest is all Cybertronian.
[[Image:Moviefrenzy blade.jpg|right|170px|thumb|Doesn't look like a CD. Maybe it's one of those new-fangled Blu-ray disks?]]
*Frenzy's blades, before unfolding, are disguised as CDs. Granted, most CDs don't have hinge points near their center.
*According to his profile card, Frenzy weighs 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds). How much of that mass would be discernible to a human lifting his stereo mode remains unclear. However, a human did indeed carry his stereo mode without much effort in the movie.
*A picture of Frenzy appears on the screen of [[Photon T-34]]. Judging from his pose and the readouts on the screen, Photon did something to slag him off.
*In 2011, Frenzy was revealed to be a [[Mini-Con|Minicon]] on Hasbro's website.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/frenzy Frenzy's profile in the Vector Sigma Data Tracks]</ref>
*Although the Hungarian dubbing of the movie, at least according to cast lists revealed on-line prior to the dub's release, had a voice actor attached to Frenzy, he never spoke in this language in the dub. His few intelligible lines were either left in English, or outright omitted. The Czech version also neglected to dub his lines. This is strange, since in the movie's subtitled theatrical run, these bits actually were translated, yet the dubs (which were produced for the later DVD release), somehow missed them.
*Hints of Frenzy's presence at the N.E.S.T. base attack in [[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]] are seen in the form of his razor discs scattered throughout the walls and ceiling at the end of the ride.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Frenzy''' (フレンジー ''Furenjī'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Jí Fēng''' (Taiwan, 疾瘋, roughly "Frenzy", lit. "Sick and Crazy" or "Fast and Crazy"), '''Míluàn''' (Mainland China, 迷乱, "Frenzy")
*''Hungarian:'' '''Tomboló''' ("Ravager")

Shockwave (WFC)

2021-01-26T21:03:53Z

Nullwave:

{{factions|decepticon|hofsilver}}
{{disambig3|Shockwave}}
:''Shockwave is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:PrimeShockwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|SPM seeking abominations of science. Turn-ons: dinosaurs, logic.]]

'''Shockwave''' was a member of the scientist caste in the industrial city of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. In a reversal of the usual order, he was swayed by the ambitions of the former mining caste member turned gladiator [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. Serving as Megatron's "pet mad scientist" and [[second-in-command]], he saw to the fighter's armament during his rise to prominence, all the while fantasizing on the prospect of ''mass producing'' such warriors. Thankfully, Megatron's more practical nature reined in Shockwave as the movement which became the Decepticons finally moved out of the shadows.

Shockwave naturally only serves his one true master: logic. He's willing to ignore petty squabbles and jabs at him, and will only do what he finds logical. Megatron is pleased by his dedication and his competence stemming from it, starkly contrasting with the egotistical and gloating [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. His passive nature to goings-on around him may paint him as apathetic, but whoever believes that is writing their death warrant. Shockwave is as brutal and fierce as any Decepticon warrior, and has the strength and durability to withstand everything from explosions to Autobot assault. He does '''not''' take well to attempts on his life or his experiments failing or being tampered with. [[Primus]] help you if you actually do break his seemingly eternal calm.

{{quote|Shockwave, you would bring down all of creation just to satisfy your own ambition.|Alpha Trion|''[[Transformers: Retribution|Retribution]]''}}

==Fiction==
===''The Covenant of Primus''===

Shockwave emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]] sometime during or prior to the [[Age of Wrath]]. Shockwave was among the earliest rebels to oppose their [[Quintesson]] "masters", and he rejected both the invaders and their puppet government. Shockwave's genius led him to be the first Cybertronian able to translate the Quintesson language.

Even after the fall of the Quintessons, Shockwave remained on the outskirts of Cybertronian civilization, never taking any official position with the government or its council, despite his brilliance. He eventually became a member of [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s Decepticons as war broke out against the Autobots. After the Ark departed, Megatron left Shockwave behind to oversee Cybertron in his stead.

Shockwave's brilliant but unhinged mind caused him to see other Cybertronians and society itself as a Petri dish for his experiments. He was responsible for creating a new underclass of Cybertronians known as the [[Forged]], test subjects so mentally and physically damaged by his experiments that they forgot their original designations. Shockwave worked with his Insecticon swarms and also was responsible for creating the [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobot]]s. He restored the only remaining [[Space bridge]] on Cybertron, powering it to warp space and time in order to look back on Earth during the Cretaceous Era as inspiration for his experiments. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|Covenant of Primus}}

===Aligned novels===
Shockwave was a scientist who lived on the fringes of Cybertronian society, admitting to [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]] he knew little of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. He was one of the scientists whose innovations allowed the mass production of stressed-crystal material used to build [[Crystal City]]. There he began his [[combiner]] experiments, creating [[Bruticus (WFC)|Bruticus Maximus]], whose lack of intelligence in combined form made him a danger to friend and foe, and he was put in [[stasis lock]]. Shockwave moved to [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], becoming a surgeon for the gladiators, where he met [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]us. He continued his combination experiments with the three [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]s, whom Megatronus bested in combat: it was in this match that the crowd chanted a shorter name for the gladiator, Megatron. Megatron recognized two things about Shockwave: that he was bereft of any morality or ethics, and that while he was his most loyal ally, he would turn on him one day.

[[File:WFCcomicDecepticons.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|''We three 'Cons of Kaon are...'']]

During the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war, Shockwave perfected his experiments with the [[Constructicon (WFC)|Constructicon]]s, creating a [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] which was unleashed on Crystal City. Shockwave set up a laboratory in the ruins but was ordered to take command of the newly conquered city state [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]]. Autobot sympathizers became fodder for experiments, while Shockwave's forces conquered [[Vos (polity)|Vos]]. He quelled dissent in both cities by requesting Vos' Air Commanders [[photon missile]] strike Tarn, for which he claimed the Autobots were responsible, and then had a photon missile strike (of supposedly unknown origin) ordered on Vos, killing the Air Commanders whose true loyalty lay with [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]].

When the Decepticons captured [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] Station, Shockwave oversaw two of Starscream's scientists ingest [[Dark Energon]]: the powerful result activated a security [[gyro-inhibitor charge]] which rendered Shockwave unconscious. Shockwave later subjected the two subjects to a deprivation study, and found it necessary to muzzle them as the duo agonized as a result of Dark Energon's absence in their bodies. Shockwave also used the [[Spark]]s of those killed in the capture to turn Trypticon into a Decepticon, able to spawn drones and [[Mini-Con|Minicons]] in its corridors.

Shockwave remained on Cybertron in command of the Decepticons, while Megatron left with his elite soldiers on the ''Nemesis'' to pursue the Autobot ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Shockwave promised Megatron that [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1|Cybertron would remain as he left it]], the notion of which Megatron chastised. He ordered Shockwave to rebuild Cybertron and enslave the remaining Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

{{note|Shockwave's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic "[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (comic)|Transformers: War for Cybertron]]."}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}}}

On Cybertron, Shockwave established his rule out of the remains of Iacon, building a massive [[Tower of Shockwave]] as his personal citadel. Although he employed [[Ratbat (WFC)|Ratbat]] and other Decepticons ostensibly to patrol the city, in reality Shockwave preferred chaos in the streets to continue producing new variables for him to explore and exploit.

Shockwave eventually decided to seize the historian, Alpha Trion, and use him for his experiments. Shockwave recognized Alpha Trion as a Prime, one of the original [[Thirteen]], and thought to use the old bot's systems to gain access to the [[Vector Sigma]] super-computer. However, Shockwave was unaware that his data-tracs had been remotely hacked by the Quintessons, who intended to use his work with Alpha Trion to instead repower the space bridge, allowing their invading army to arrive from [[Aquatron]].

Shockwave recognized his mistake far too late, and General [[Tyrannicon]] led an army of [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]]s to Cybertron. Despite his best efforts, even [[Devastator (WFC)|Devastator]] and [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] failed to defend Shockwave's rule. He hoped to loot the [[Hall of Records]] for weapons or artifacts, only to discover Alpha Trion had jettisoned them into space long before. Fortunately, the actions of Megatron across the galaxy on Aquatron ended the threat of the Sharkticons for him. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

===IDW Aligned comics===

[[File:LastStand-Shockwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|And as purple as he is logical.]]

Shockwave had been put in charge of a remote Decepticon base in the middle of the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], where he was to oversee a reportedly unlimited source of [[Energon]], a potentially amazing advantage in the waning days of the war for Cybertron. [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] had been dispatched to investigate this mysterious Energon-rich Decepticon base when he overheard a conversation between Shockwave and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. Starscream was concerned that Shockwave's attentions were diverted away from the Energon discovery and was wasting his talents on examining the [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]]s he'd discovered and the "cosmic secrets" he had learned. Shockwave's Insecticon horde discovered Swoop's presence, and the Autobot was captured. {{storylink|Secrets (FOC)|Secrets}}

Predictably, the other members of Swoop's Autobot team, the [[Lightning Strike Coalition Force]] arrived in hopes of retrieving Swoop. Shockwave confronted the four and boasted that this action on their part was central to his plans. The Lightning Strike Coalition Force would make "perfect test subjects" for his experiments, {{storylink|Siege Mentality}} and as their leader, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], fought back, Shockwave thanked him for not alerting [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] of their whereabouts. The five would be fashioned into the ultimate weapon for the Decepticon cause! He then quickly fell Grimlock with surgeon-like precision, all the while gloating that the Coalition's absence from the front lines would allow the Decepticons to easily take Autobot City from Optimus Prime's control. {{storylink|Last Stand}}

Shockwave was waiting when Grimlock awoke, strung up in his laboratory. He explained that he had discovered ancient Transformers technology, a [[space bridge|bridge that could traverse both space and time]]. This "space bridge" had offered him a glimpse of many worlds, but most relevantly Shockwave had seen into the past of a certain [[Earth|small blue planet]] where [[dinosaur (dinosaur)|amazing and terrible creatures]] once stalked its lands. {{storylink|Fragmentation (FOC)|Fragmentation}} {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 3|Beast Hunters #3}} Having already experimented in recreating dinosaurs organically in the past, Shockwave went to work reconstructing the Dinobots in their image. {{storylink|Beast Hunters issue 4|Beast Hunters #4}} As Shockwave's machinery took Grimlock apart, he told the Autobot that he and his team would be rebuilt into weapons for the Decepticons. {{storylink|Fragmentation (FOC)|Fragmentation}} As Grimlock was being reformed, through his pain he saw visions of the future, of being unwittingly unleashed by Starscream and ultimately taking his revenge on Shockwave. Shockwave quelled these visions by breaking into Grimlock's mind, reducing the once fiercely intelligent leader to nothing but a feral berserker. {{storylink|Fall}}

The events in Grimlock's vision came to pass nonetheless, and Shockwave was left battered by the Dinobot as they escaped from him. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 4|Rage of the Dinobots #4}}

After Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]'s group of warriors had left the planet, Shockwave remained behind and fashioned a new faction known as [[Forged]]. He commanded this group through [[Ser-Ket (Prime)|Ser-Ket]], a former Decepticon whom he had experimented on and granted a draconic [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]] altmode. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 2|Rage of the Dinobots #2}} Ser-Ket reported to Shockwave after the Forged had captured [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]], {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 1|Rage of the Dinobots #1}} an event that led to the Forged base being attacked by Grimlock's Dinobots, who killed Ser-Ket. Sending a remote-control avatar [[drone]] in time to witness the battle, Shockwave didn't think much of his underling's death, explaining to the Dinobots that she had overestimated her role in his machinations. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 3|Rage of the Dinobots #3}} By strategic use of a force field and an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP grenade]], he defeated the Dinobots and brought them to one of his labs to finish what he had started by purging them of their sentience once and for all. As he began to work on Grimlock, however, the other Dinobots broke out of captivity and ripped his avatar to pieces. The real Shockwave then contacted them via hologram to let them know they had only destroyed one of many avatars in one of many labs, but one day they might come face to face with the real deal once again. {{storylink|Rage of the Dinobots issue 4|Rage of the Dinobots #4}}

[[File:Prime-Shockwave&Cliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|left|Logic dictates that there is a small chance that I will kill you, here and now... but I'm gonna shoot anyway.]]

During the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]], Shockwave cloned a small army of [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacons]] and had them micro-chipped so he could track them at all times. On Megatron's orders, he dispatched them to Earth to destroy the Autobots stationed there and secure any energon they could find. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}

While most of the population left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] during the [[Great Exodus]], Shockwave stayed behind. He spent his time building and scavenging technology, and managed to reverse-engineer [[space bridge]] technology. His efforts had come to fruition when [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]], while delivering Energon to power the bridge, brought him an encrypted Autobot transmission along with two prisoners, [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]]. By using his own invention, the [[cortical psychic patch]], on Arcee, Shockwave gained the codes to decrypt the transmission, revealing it to be a message from [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] calling the Autobots to [[Earth]]. He later found the two Autobots sabotaging the space bridge, and was buried in rubble during the ensuing fight. After he dug himself out, he followed them into the space bridge and was only stopped when Arcee hit his optical sensor. Caught inside the space bridge as it exploded, {{storylink|Out of the Past}} Shockwave found himself back on the abandoned planet Cybertron, blinded. He repaired his injuries and continued his experiment, using recovered CNA to clone a [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]].

Years later, Shockwave detected the energy surge caused by the [[Omega Lock]] and went to investigate, encountering [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] who had come on an unrelated mission. {{storylink|Scattered}} Shockwave returned with him to [[Earth]], where [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] had created [[Darkmount (Earth)|a fortress]]. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} Megatron appointed Shockwave his first lieutenant in charge of science. With Starscream's interrogation of [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]] failing to yield results, Shockwave attempted a cortical psychic patch, but was similarly unable to gain any information. The continuing failure to track down the scattered Autobots led Shockwave to reveal the fruits of his cloning work—a [[Predaking (Prime)|huge Predacon]]. {{storylink|Scattered}} Shockwave gave the creature a whiff of Wheeljack's energon before unleashing it, however it eventually returned empty-handed. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}}

[[File:Rebellion-Shockwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Logic dictates that my altmode should look ''awesome''.]]
When Darkmount came under attack, Shockwave suggested unleashing the Predacon, only for the beast to be defeated moments after it entered battle. Though Starscream took the opportunity to get some mocking in, Shockwave simply turned and jumped his way down the outside of the fortress before defeating the Autobots himself. The victory was short-lived, as once Optimus Prime turned up, the Autobots turned on their captor. Despite holding his own against them, Shockwave retreated through a GroundBridge once the citadel was destroyed. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

Shockwave then began retrieving Predacon remains from the clones previous sent to Earth, so that he could clone them again and form a new army of Predacons. {{storylink|Project Predacon}} When the Predacon returned safe and well to the ''Nemesis'', Shockwave was content for Megatron to place it under Starscream's command. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} While he was retrieving Predacon remains in [[Texas]], he was attacked by [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]], [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and Optimus Prime. Soundwave arrived through a GroundBridge to give Shockwave support, keeping Prime busy while Shockwave grappled with the other two Autobots. Though the fossil broke apart during Shockwave's fight, thanks to Soundwave a fraction of it was GroundBridged back to the [[Trypticon (WFC)|''Nemesis'']]. Upon returning to the ship and at Megatron's urging, Shockwave opted to let Starscream retrieve further genetic material. {{storylink|Project Predacon}}

Shockwave's cloning process neared completion, but the revelation that the existing Predacon was intelligent resulted in the Decepticons rethinking the entire plan, as [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] might turn against them. Shockwave agreed it was logical that they should use the Autobots to terminate the clones, however Starscream lured the Autobots to the off-site laboratory while he was still purging sensitive information from the computers. He retreated, and after the laboratory was destroyed, discovered that the [[Synthetic Energon]] they'd been storing in it had created Cybermatter. {{storylink|Evolution}}
[[File:ShockwavePunishesScreamer-MinusOne.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.66| Happy birthday, Starscream!]]
Shockwave almost put out one of Starscream's eyes over the early arrival of the Autobots, but was talked out of it in time. The Decepticons decided to repair the Omega Lock as a launch mechanism, with Shockwave in charge of perfecting Synthetic Energon. When they realized that Ratchet would be helpful in perfecting the formula, Shockwave instructed Laserbeak to track [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] to find the Autobot base. Meanwhile Shockwave himself took part in a raid on the [[Solaris particle collider]]. {{storylink|Minus One}} Unfortunately [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] proved too much for Shockwave to handle, and he had to be rescued by Predaking.

Back on the ''Nemesis'', he used a cortical psychic patch on Ratchet in an attempt to learn the completed Synth-En formula, but came up empty handed. As a result, the Decepticons had to switch tack and attempt to persuade Ratchet to help them. {{storylink|Persuasion}} While Ratchet was put to work on the Synthetic Energon formula, Shockwave was called away to oversee the completion of the Omega Lock. As a result he was not there when Ratchet attempted to escape, but he was able to salvage the completed formula from the mess Ratchet left, and began the process of synthesizing enough to power the Omega Lock. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Shockwave's attempts to activate the Omega Lock were hampered by having to fight Ratchet and the other Autobots who turned up. Following Megatron's demise, he grabbed the protesting Starscream and the pair made a run for it. They escaped the warship in a lifepod, somewhere over Cybertron. {{storylink|Deadlock}}

Shockwave resumed his experiments, though he had to relocate his lab a number of times to avoid detection, and successfully created [[Darksteel (Prime)|Darksteel]] and [[Skylynx (Prime)|Skylynx]]. He was summoned when the two Predacons led Starscream to a Predacon burial ground uncovered by the upheaval of Cybertron's rebirth, however as they were gathering up the bones, they were witness to the unexpected return of Megatron. It turned out to be [[Unicron]] using Megatron's body, and after the dark god raised an army of undead Predacons, the horde's first act was to swarm the terrified Shockwave.

He somehow survived, and later approached Predaking and the other two Predacons as they fought each other, suggesting they might instead like to go fight Unicron, only to disappear as mysteriously as he appeared. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

===''Tales of the Beast Hunters''===
Shockwave cloned [[Lazerback (Prime)|Lazerback]] in a [[Hyperevolution Chamber]], unaware his subject could hear everything he said. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 3}} On awakening [[Ripclaw]], Shockwave told the Predacon that [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]] was in danger from the [[Autobot]]s. Ripclaw promptly took off out of the laboratory. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 8}} Sometime later, Shockwave realized that the Predacons were as big a threat to the Decepticons as to the Autobots and decided to shut down the cloning project. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 11}} He found [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] sneaking around his laboratory {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 10}} and came up with a new plan to blame the laboratory's destruction on the Autobots, hopefully causing Predaking to eliminate Prime's team. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 11}} Smokescreen and Shockwave's battle caused some of the Predacons in nearby evolution vats to awaken, and [[Skystalker (Prime)|Skystalker]] soon joined the conflict. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 12}} Ultimately, Smokescreen escaped from Shockwave with several data discs in hand. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 13}}

Deciding to cut his losses and run, Shockwave enlisted [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]]'s help in packing up his laboratory. The pair took the last two remaining Hyperevolution Chambers with them to Cybertron. {{storylink|Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 20}}

===''Full of Fire!''===
Shockwave revealed to Megatron that more Predacons had been cloned. The scientist dispatched five new Predacons with Predaking to test the Autobots and record data on the enemy's combat effectiveness. When all six were defeated, Megatron believed the data to be useless as the Autobots now knew the extent of the Predacon army, only for Shockwave to reveal that he had many more Predacons ready to go. {{storylink|Full of Fire!}}

Shockwave was at the Energon Purification zone when the Decepticons had used it for their stores of Energon. Shockwave challenged Megatron and his troops to a fight, saying if they beat him, he'd join their ranks. Shockwave was indeed defeated, and somewhat reluctantly joined the Decepticon ranks.

{{voiceactor|[[Steve Blum]] (English)}}
[[File:FoCShockwave2.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.66|He's being scouted for potential membership into the Legion of Doom.]]
When Cybertron was beginning to shut down, Shockwave wanted to reboot it, but to do this, he needed an large energon supply. As he searched for one, he discovered an ancient technology in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] called Space Bridges. Using the observatories of the ancients that used to reside in the Sea of Rust, Shockwave began searching for new planets that he could suck the life out of, and found [[Earth|one]] rich in raw energy. He also began experimenting on several [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticons]] which had started coming onto the planet's surface, and took three unusually intelligent Insecticons, [[Hardshell]], [[Kickback (FOC)|Kickback]] and [[Sharpshot]], under his command. He later used them to capture [[Dinobot (FOC)|five Autobots]], whom he gave new forms based on the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|large reptiles]] he saw on the planet.

After [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] was killed during siege on Iacon, [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] took command of the Decepticons. The two argued over the use of a lake of Energon near the Space Bridge tower, and though Shockwave attempted to convince him of its potential usefulness, Starscream simply wanted to drain the lake. When [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]] disrupted the fuel line leading to the tower, Shockwave unleashed an army of Insecticons upon them while he attempted to rectify the problem. He failed to do so, but luckily he had already built a replica tower in Kaon. Following [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s resurrection of Megatron, Shockwave went to Kaon meet him and informed him of his discovery of the Space Bridge and the planet they could plunder. Megatron subsequently went to retrieve [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]'s power core so that they could power a craft to get them there, while Shockwave went to finalize the completion of the tower.

Later, Starscream infiltrated Shockwave's facility and watched as Shockwave and his Insecticons tortured [[Grimlock (WFC)|one of the Autobots]] he had experimented on, before he attempted to recruit Grimlock, which failed and resulted in the Autobot being freed. Shockwave decided to consider the breakout a test of Grimlock's new abilities, and monitored him closely as he fought his Insecticon minions, and proceeded to tear apart every one of them. Much later, Grimlock had attempted to attack Shockwave at the Space Bridge, but he was quickly restrained. Shockwave taunted Grimlock saying that he wouldn't create such a powerful weapon without a means to control it, calling him a pet, and contacted Megatron to let him know the tower was active and the portal was open. After Megatron assigned Shockwave to take charge of the Decepticons in his absence, Grimlock was enraged enough for him to transform into his Tyrannosaurus mode and attack Shockwave, tearing his left arm off and ''swallowing it'' before knocking him away with his tail. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron}}

===''Hunt the Beasts'' online game===
Shockwave infused protoforms with ancient PRedacon CNA to create powerful monstrous troops for the Decepticons. However, they proved uncontrolable, and broke free of their restraints. Shockwave sent out a transmission to [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] to warn him that his Predacon experiments had escaped his lab despite his best efforts to contain them. As he explained that the beasts were heading towards Earth, he was overpowered by [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]], bringing his transmission to an end. {{storylink|Hunt the Beasts}}

Shockwave used his tank mode's impressive firepower to do battle against Optimus Prime in the middle of a lush tropical forest environment. Boasting that logic would prevail, Shockwave was nonetheless sent fleeing after sustaining too much damage at the hands of the Autobot leader. Shockwave later returned to aid Megatron in his own fight against Optimus, but the Decepticons were defeated once more, and sent fleeing. {{storylink|Transformers Prime: Decepticon Strike|Decepticon Strike}}

Shockwave was tasked alongside Soundwave and Starscream to locate and bring the [[Dark Spark]] to Megatron. As the trio searched for the Dark Spark, Shockwave split up from his allies and located Hardshell. After a brief fight, Shockwave defeats Hardshell and is attacked by Kickback and Sharpshot. After defeating the two of them Shockwave allows the trio a chance to live by joining the Decepticons. They accept the offer and the four of them return to Starscream, Soundwave, and [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]]. After the team locate the Dark Spark they are interrupted by [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] and [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] who take the Dark Spark and retreat. After chasing the duo who regrouped with Optimus and Bumblebee, blew up the train they were riding. Shockwave attempted to engage Optimus in a fight but was stopped by Sharpshot who informed Shockwave that Optimus did not have the Dark Spark with him and that Ironhide had it. After Shockwave and Sharpshot beat Ironhide and take the Dark Spark they are attacked by Autobot forces. Luckily they regrouped with [[Vortex (FOC)|Vortex]] and [[Swindle (FOC)|Swindle]], and Swindle was tasked by Onslaught to escort the duo to the rest of the Combaticons. After fighting waves of Autobot forces Shockwave and Swindle manage to regroup with the combaticons who form into Bruticus. After the battle Shockwave manages to give Megatron the Dark Spark and was present when Optimus attempted to retrieve the DarK Spark from Megatron. Shockwave and Megatron used the power of the Dark Spark to reanimate several dead Autobot soldiers to attack Optimus while Megatron engaged Prime in a duel. However Megatron lost the duel and attacked Prime with the Dark Spark to which Optimus attacked Megatron with the Matrix severely damaging Megatron and himself. Shockwave quickly rushes to Megatrons side and brings Megatron to safety as Optimus awakens. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark}}

*'''Shockwave''' (Deluxe Class, 2012)
**''Series/number'': '''01 / #003'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece laser cannon

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Shockwave transforms into a "Cybertronian mobile artillery" mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5 mm post|hand-held]] "laser cannon" that's modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5 mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, and tabbing the cannon onto the revealed wrist socket. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large Y-shaped muzzle that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The muzzle stays on the cannon through friction and, depending on the [[quality control]], can fit rather loosely and slide off if pointed downward. (A bit of double-stick tape wrapped around the end of one of the barrels will help it stay in place without permanent changes.) The muzzle part can also be stored on Shockwave's back, forming some sort of [[jet pack|jet-pack]] exhaust.

:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the Y-shaped muzzle part, effectively serving as an extension of the muzzle in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature "ear" panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).

:The figure has a "dramatic reveal" feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn't pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.

: This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Generations|Shockwave]] in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics. This mold was also [[redeco]]ed/[[retool]]ed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Fireflight (FOC)|Air Raid]] and [[BotCon 2014]] [[Brimstone (G1 Star Seeker)|Brimstone]]. His weapons is later reused for the Million Publishing mail-away exclusive [[Starscream (WFC)#War for Cybertron|Infiltrator Starscream]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AM-29'''
**''Accessories:'' "Bido" Arms Micron

: Part of the ninth wave of [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' toys, Shockwave is a redeco/retool of his ''Fall of Cybertron'' toy, and is the only release of said toy in Japan. His wings have been retooled with additional 5mm posts and ports, and he has been redecoed to have a brighter, metallic shade of purple plastic. Additionally, he has brighter silver [[paint operation]]s, and some of his other paint operations have been replaced with customer-applied [[sticker]]s.

: Instead of his two-piece laser cannon, he now comes with an [[Arms Micron]], [[Bido]], who transforms from a robotic rhinoceros beetle into [[Sling Shock#Prime|Shockwave's cannon]] and vehicle fuselage. Bido features numerous 5mm ports and posts for mounting, but can only be used as a hand-held cannon, and is unable to replace Shockwave's hand. Sorry.

**''Accessories:'' Chest armor panel, 2 shoulder/foot armor panels

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime: Beast Hunters]]'' Voyager Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a Cybertronian tank. He features numerous 5mm ports, such as his shoulder-pads, right hand, and right forearm in robot mode, and his feet in vehicle mode. His rear treads are made of rubberized plastic, and the left tread unfurls to become a hose that attaches to the permanently attached "[[Hyperflux Cannon]]" that makes up his left forearm. By repeatedly pressing down on the trigger on top of the cannon, the barrel of the cannon spins while opening and closing, revealing more of its translucent red tip.

:For accessories, he comes with three "beast armor" pieces—a three-eyed chest-plate and two claw-shaped panels—that can be attached to Shockwave in both robot and vehicle modes, with the "claw" pieces attaching to his shoulders and feet via 5mm post.

:His instructions forget to mention that the "spike" panels on his tread [[Kibble|backpack]] need to be swung up for robot [[show-accuracy]], and that the treaded portions themselves are on [[Slide joint|telescoping joints]], and need to be pulled apart and extended for tank mode. His instructions also include the [[Tales of the Beast Hunters Chapter 11|eleventh chapter]] of the ''[[Tales of the Beast Hunters]]'' series.

==Notes==
* In the map of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] from the "[[Binder of Revelation]]" included in ''[[Transformers Vault]]'', Shockwave came from [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]], which explains why he took control of it during the war.
* As noted above, Shockwave's model is usable in ''War for Cybertron'' multiplayer as the Retaliator-type chassis for [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]]-class characters. His parts are also available for Scientists in ''Fall of Cybertron'', now classified as Defender-type components.
* Shockwave is usable in both the Autobot and Decepticon versions of the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|''War for Cybertron'' games for the DS]]. He is used only for multiplayer, bonus missions and Arena mode in the Autobot version and used in Multiplayer, Arena mode, and campaign in the Decepticon version.
* In the XBOX 360/PS3 versions of War for Cybertron, Shockwave's left arm is his Plasma Cannon, but in the DS version, it's his ''right'' arm.
* The GameStop ''War for Cybertron'' commercial describes Shockwave as second-in-command of the Decepticons, and [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] is never officially referred to as such.
* For said commercial, Shockwave was voiced by [[Corey Burton]], voice actor of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1]] and [[Shockwave (Animated)|Animated]] Shockwaves. He later lamented over [http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=853&sid=3992b18086e21d8f6face60940505757 a forum post] that the performance was so rushed and the "gag" nature so out of character, that it hardly even sounded like him: "Two different sessions; and while they were awfully nice to work with, I have to say that the gag line was written and directed completely off-character. Since it was all supposed to be pretty "camp" anyway, and it had to be wedged-into a space that wasn't even there in the initial cut, I just went along with it. Figured it's just a silly bit of hype, that wasn't worth taking seriously enough to fuss over."
* The aforementioned commercial also indicates that Shockwave is evidently a fan of [[Stan Bush]].
* According to his [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] bio, Shockwave's emotions sometimes get the better of him, leading to irrational behavior. He also hopes that one day his work will let him reformat all Cybertronians to a new form of existence and ideally become ruler of Cybertron in the process. Looks like Megatron's hunch wasn't far off...
* Although Shockwave is a Jet in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, he's a ground vehicle in the DS Version. This is most probably because the mission he is unlocked in features his Autobot counterpart, [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], a Heavy Ground vehicle. Shockwave's increasable stats are, however, those of a Flying Vehicle.
* The ''Prime'' writers admitted that, not knowing what to do with the character, Shockwave was not going to survive his debut episode, before eventually coming up with a way to incorporate the character as a regular during the third season.
* In the Japanese dub of ''Prime'', actor [[Kenta Miyake]] channels the unique personality of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] from the Japanese dub of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] in that he's a grizzled old man with a gravelly voice and a short temper. Unlike the Japanese Generation 1 Shockwave, ''this'' Shockwave has a new verbal tic in which he endlessly punctuates sentences by bellowing the word ''"Shock!"''

[[File:BWtoy-Primalbat.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Cheetor. ''Cheetor.'' I'm Batman.]]
* '''Optimus Primal vs Megatron!''' (Basic Class versus two-pack, 1996)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''VS-6'''
**''Accessories:'' Two swords

:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Optimus Primal was a Basic Class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. In the [[Hasbro]] line, he was packaged along with an [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|alligator version of Megatron]] and a [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|''Beast Wars'' mini-comic]]. The Japanese release of the two-pack, dubbed "Amazon Showdown: Convobat VS Megalligator" (アマゾンの対決, ''Amazon no taiketsu''), lacks the comic, but does come with individual character bio cards.

:Whether this toy can be considered the Optimus Primal character is a matter of debate. Released before the animated series began, which established Optimus Primal as a separate entity from Optimus Prime, the accompanying profiles and mini-comic seem to assume that the Beast Wars are a progression of the same characters from the Autobot/Decepticon war. Whether the animated series's [[retcon]] affected this set of toys is probably a matter of personal preference. It can be interpreted as representing one of the more interesting micro-continuities.

:The ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'' has asserted that, in [[Beast Wars timeline (IDW)|IDW's version of the ''Beast Wars'' continuity]], Primal's bat form was suggested by the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s computer as a potential alt mode, but he rejected it in favour of the more powerful gorilla without ever actually reformatting into it. Thus, this [[micro-continuity]] posits bat mode Primal as an essentially theoretical alt-form that never actually came to be.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#AmazonConvobat|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]] (who may or may not be a separate character from either Prime or Primal), and [[Onyx Primal#Toys|Onyx Primal]].

* '''Optimus Primal''' (Ultra Class, 1996/1997/1998)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''C-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Two swords, four missiles, flail

: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped mace he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled missile launcher. On his back were two spring-loaded missile launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:The European version released in English/Spanish/Italian ''Beast Wars/Biocombat'' packaging featured the additional alternate name "Black Jack" for the Italian market, whereas the ''other'' European version released in French/Dutch/German ''Beast Wars/Ani Mutants'' packaging was simply named "Optimus Primal" just like the United States version.

:Takara released the toy under the name of "Convoy" as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the sculpt.

:This sculpt was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''Tele-V Magazine'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''Tele-V'' again, but only twenty pieces for lucky draw), and blue-fur (a ''[[Comic Bom Bom]]'' design-contest prize, only thirty awarded).

According to the sticker, this limited figure was meant to celebrate the "20,000,000 Unit Breakthrough Commemoration"—apparently commemorating ''20 million'' units of Beast Wars toys sold. Whether this was supposed to represent 20 million worldwide or just in Japan is unclear.

* '''Optimus Primal''' (Mega Class Transmetal, 1998)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''C-40'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, two clubs/missiles

: [[Transmetal]] Optimus Primal is a mechanical gorilla that transforms into a partially organic robot. Like all Transmetals, it featured chromed plastic and a third vehicle-inspired mode. In Primal's case, his gorilla mode could transform into a gorilla on a [[hoverboard]]. Two maces were stored on his back and could double as missiles for his hip-holstered blaster.

:Continuing a trend from Generation 1 where Italian releases of toys representing the same characters as previous toys released under the same name were sometimes given names that didn't reflect the Italian market names of those previous releases, the European version released in English/Spanish/Italian ''Beast Wars''/''Biocombat'' packaging featured the additional alternate name "Metal Gorilla" for the Italian market. Like with the Ultra figure, the ''other'' European version released in French/Dutch/German ''Beast Wars''/''Ani Mutants'' packaging was simply named "Optimus Primal" just like the United States version.

: Some units feature a chromed purple variant for the Beast Mode chest.

: [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s version of the toy exchanged the brown plastic for translucent maroon; other changes included additional paint on the waist and a different eye color. The figure was also available in a set with Transmetal Megatron.

: This mold was used to make [[Apelinq (BM)#Toys|Apelinq]].

* '''Optimal Optimus''' (Super Class Transmetal, 1998)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''C-47'''
**''Accessories:'' One gun, four missiles, six break-away armor plates

: Transmetal Optimal Optimus was the first toy in the Super size class, featuring electronics and four transformations: robot, ape, jet, and armored transport. When a back section of the cannon module was pulled, the eyes and shoulder-mounted missile launchers lit up and the launchers fired. It came with four missiles, two of which stored on its legs. Its forearms featured blast-away armor plates that could also be pegged to its upper arms. His cockpit perfectly fits a [[MicroVerse]] figure in the seat.

: Optimal Optimus's on-package [[bio]] states that he has Cybertronian "air guardian" technology and twin scramjet modules. [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]'s function was Air Guardian, and his Tech Specs said he had these same scramjet modules.

: The European version released in English/Spanish/Italian ''Beast Wars''/''Biocombat'' packaging featured the most bizarre choice for the additional alternate name for the Italian market yet, naming ''this'' figure "Optimus Primal" (!). Once again, the ''other'' European version released in French/Dutch/German ''Beast Wars''/''Ani Mutants'' packaging was simply named "Optimal Optimus" just like the United States version.

: This toy was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' character [[Optimal]]. This sculpt was also used to make [[Primal Prime]], with a redesign that had separate triggers for the missile-lighting and missile-launching so users would be less likely to shoot themselves in the eye. This body was also the template for [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s (non-toy) "Optimal" body, seen in "[[Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future]]".

: The Japanese version features a more yellow shade of orange, different painted details include removing of blue paint on the helmet of headsculpt in robot mode, adding yellow paint on the armour of knee and shoulder to show more cartoon accurate, different translucent missiles with slightly changed mold where also will be inherited by Primal Prime in Beast Machines product line, and notably black tires instead of purple.

*'''Optimus Primal''' (Deluxe Class, 2000)
**''Accessories'': Energy [[shuriken]]

: The first ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' Optimus Primal is a dark bronze and translucent blue technorganic gorilla that transforms into a technorganic robot. Based on early concept art, he has a...loose relationship to show accuracy, with a skeletal beast mode face and entirely different arms. Thankfully his gimmicks ''are'' more or less accurate. His right robot mode arm is spring-loaded to throw the shuriken that stores in his left leg (the ape mode's left shoulder). Like all ''Beast Machines'' toys, he has a hidden "[[spark crystal]]" that displays his faction allegiance; Primal's is in his chest, revealed with the spring-loaded "flexing" motion that also moves his beast mode face up for snarling while posing. His robot mode head also features a changing expression via sliding brow/skullcap.

: Official [[Hasbro]] stock photography of this toy shows a differently-molded shuriken, lacking the "energy flame" effect.

: McDonald's ''Beast Machines'' Optimus Primal is an incredibly simple toy that transforms from a technorganic robot to technorganic ape. Its sculpted detail is based directly that of the television show's model for Primal. It uses translucent plastic for the body, and, like the other McDonald's ''Beast Machines'' toys, there's a sculpted spark crystal on the toy's surface; on Optimus Primal, it is placed on the stomach. Additionally, there are two organic flaps on the toy's back, and in robot mode, nobody's entirely sure exactly what to do with them. Are they rotated all the way down to make his booster jets? Are they rotated out to the sides to make the backs of his shoulder pads? Are they rotated back to where they go in gorilla mode, once you get his heads swapped? We may never know.

*'''Blast Punch Optimus Primal''' (Mega Class, 2001)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''BR-01'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[November 18]], [[2004]]'''
**''Accessories'': Missile

:One of the last toys released in the ''Beast Machines'' line (under the "Battle for the Spark" rebranding), "Blast Punch" Optimus Primal transforms into a technorganic gorilla more like the show model, though with a considerably brighter color scheme. His main [[gimmick]] is his left arm, which contains a hidden missile launcher. Pushing down on his shoulder armor "winds" the mechanism in his gauntlet. Pushing the spark crystal on his bicep spins his gauntlet around, simultaneously triggering the spring-loaded missile launcher and activating his spring-loaded ramming "blast punch" action, extending his fist forward nearly a full inch. He also has hidden jet thrusters under a panel on his back. In beast mode, a small button on the top of his head pushes his upper face up in a "snarling" action.

:Due to the small size of the two gears used to rotate the forearm, manually transforming Optimus's left arm can damage the gimmick to the point of no longer working. The soft plastic used in the gears prevents them from crumbling apart and allowing them to be glued to the pin, but damage can be prevented by using the wind-up mechanism exclusively to transform the arm. If it must be moved by hand, turning the forearm in the same direction as the motor allow the larger gears to safely ratchet to minimize damage.

:Blast Punch Optimus Primal was released in Japan in 2004 as "Convoy" as part of the ''Beast Wars Returns'' line, exclusive to [[Toys"R"Us]] stores. The only difference between the releases is that Convoy has blue eyes in robot mode.

* '''Air Attack Optimus Primal''' (Supreme Class, 2002)
**''Accessories'': Disc

:Intended for release in the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' toyline, Air Attack Optimus Primal was eventually released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] as part of the ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline. Positively oozing light-and-sound gimmicks in both modes, Optimus Primal does ''all'' sorts'a crazy crap, all of which is first activated by pressing his chest plate. Doing so "turns on" his electronics with a metallic shrieking noise, and the toy proceeds to hum constantly while the chest glows with a red LED. The electronics will eventually "turn off" if the toy is left idle, but you don't want to do that! You want to push his head (in either mode), which activates glowing lights in his eyes and actual speech samples of [[Garry Chalk]] from the ''Beast Machines'' cartoon (making Primal the first English-speaking ''Transformers'' toy to have speech clips performed by his actual cartoon voice actor). On top of that, the toy also features a pressure-launching disc-shooter in its robot mode stomach (accompanied by blasting sound effect), and a geared right arm with a spring-loaded punch action (and suitably pained electronic grunt). The ''big'' feature—the one that gives the toy its name—is his jetpack, which pops out (with translucent blue jet flames trailing behind) at the push of a button. This puts the toy into "flight mode", and it constantly produces the sound of whooshing jets, which then rises and falls depending on how the figure is held. Tilt him upwards, and the pitch rises as he ascends! Tilt him down, and ''zoom!''

:Also, he has a butt on his head.

:The sparkly brown plastic in this figure's chest and legs is prone to breaking.

:The toy's packaging features both an Autobot and Maximal insignia. The Maximal symbol used, however, is the one used during the "Beast Wars" rather than the one from "Beast Machines" this toy was meant to be part of.

: This toy was released in Japan on [[August 8]], 2002 as a Toys"R"Us-exclusive "[[USA Edition]]".

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)#Toys|Robotmasters]]'' toys, Beast Convoy is a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] mold primarily based upon the original Ultra Class Optimus Primal figure, and using the original Ultra Class toy's color scheme. The mouthplate features an engraved mouth, although it is painted silver like the rest of the face, and lacks the Mutant Head from the original figure.

:Both forearms contain small, non-firing cannons in them (and thus a skull mace is not included), which can be revealed by flipping up the panels on his arms. Similarly, the missile launchers from the Ultra-class version of the toy have been replaced by non-firing cannons based more closely on the ones from the TV show.

:Beast Convoy features open-palmed hands, thus preventing him from holding both of his swords in the same hand, but a small connector-piece is included to connect the swords together, allowing Beast Convoy to hold the lower sword with the upper sword connected.

:Like [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], Beast Convoy comes with a generic blue missile launcher which can fit in his palm.

[[File:PrimalXsword.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Opposable thumbs!]]
: ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|Beast Wars 10th Anniversary]]'' Optimus Primal is based loosely on his original ultra ape action figure while pulling some elements from other figures, including a transformation very similar to the Playskool Go-Bot [[Beast-Bot|Gorillabot]], which itself was a nod to Optimus Primal's ''Beast Machines'' form. The sculpts for both BWX leader toys were intentionally designed to blend in with the Jungle Planet aesthetic, "in case" they didn't get a Beast Wars Anniversary release (according to [[Aaron Archer]]'s statements at [[BotCon 2005]]).

:Similar to his Transmetal form, BWX Optimus Primal also comes with a hoverboard with two [[5 mm post|5mm post]]s at the base, allowing him to ride it in his gorilla mode, or hold it in robot mode via the 5mm posts on his robot palms/gorilla feet. When a [[Cyber Key]] is inserted at the rear of the board, a spring-loaded extending "assault blade" (or "ass lt blade" as the instructions call it) deploys, and a trigger is revealed to allow one to use the spring-loaded missile launcher at the tip. Though it is not intended to be removed, the blade can be popped off and held in Primal's hand thanks to his poseable thumbs.

:He is also packaged with a mini-comic-sized reprinting of [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers, Beast Wars: The Gathering|The Gathering]]'' #1, a small [[Axalon (BW)#Toys|''Axalon'']] ship figurine, and a [[Animatron|Jungle Planet]]-style Cyber Key.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-13'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, sword, 5 discs, 3 air power missiles, ripple rocket launcher, 10 rockets

{{repurposed|Optimus Primal}}

: In 1995, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Laser Optimus Prime]] was a new [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'']] mold that transformed into mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. On the sides of the trailer is a humourous sticker depicting Laser Optimus Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a forest, with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" over the image.

:In robot mode, like Hero Optimus Prime, the bottom of the truck became his familiar windowed chest based upon the original Optimus Prime toy. His main gimmick was light up LED headlights, and a [[light-piping|lightpipe]] in the bottom of his right fist, illuminated by an LED in his right forearm, that would illuminate his clear sword or his double-barreled rifle if they were used in that hand. All three LEDs were activated simultaneously by pressing the sunroof-like depression on the roof of the truck.

:The trailer unfolds to form a battle station bristling with many firing weapons. Primarily, it can fire an air-powered missile launcher, a ripple rocket launcher with 5 missiles that can be launched individually (this turret can also be mounted in Laser Prime's hand) and a 'disc launcher', that fired several blue plastic discs adorned with the ''Generation 2'' Autobot sigil. This disc launcher is the only weapon that can be used in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]].

:This mold was redecoed in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]], and slightly retooled as Scourge. After Scourge, the next use of this mold was planned to be ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)|Toxitron]], which ended up being canceled. The slightly retooled version of this mold was released in 2006 in Japan as reissue Battle Convoy, which was the name of this toy during the Japanese ''Generation 2''. The reissue used the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] modified tooling, with a slightly modified deco using silver vacuum-metalized plastic on his chest and trailer sides along with additional paint applications and G2 symbols. The mold was also redecoed to create a ''Generation 2'' version of Ultra Magnus as an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive.

:Within the ''[[Beast Wars Reborn]]'' text story, the reissued Laser Prime toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a temporary form for Optimus Primal.

===Titanium Series===
[[File:Titanium Optimal Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Ready? And... Faceplant!]]
* '''Optimal Optimus''' (6" Transformable figure, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Stand with nameplate

:''Titanium Series'' Optimal Optimus transforms from robot into an armored transport. For undetermined reasons, this incarnation of Optimal Optimus does not include the beast mode. This does have precedent in the fiction: When [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] built a copy of that body for himself at the end of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'', his version didn't have a beast mode either. Oddly enough, the two chest cannons can rotate back over his shoulder, while the original Beast Wars figure's cannons were in a fixed position. Amusingly, this toy is denoted as an [[Autobot]] both on his stand and on his shoulder, even though Optimal is a [[Maximal]].

[[File:BTBlackConvoy toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|There! He's a trukk! Ya happy now?]]
* '''Black Convoy''' (2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-17'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/blaster

{{Repurposed|Optimus Primal}}

: Black Convoy is the first ''Binaltech'' release since [[Skids (G1)#Alternators/Binaltech|Skids]] in early 2006, and was available exclusively in Japan at the winter Wonder Festival in 2007. His plastic colours are different from Nemesis Prime's, with grey plastic replacing the black on his shins, waist, shoulders, and forearms. In addition, Nemesis Prime's windows are tinted red, but Black Convoy's windows are completely clear. His paint deco is based upon ''Kiss Players'' Convoy's, arranged in the same patterns but using teal, and he has vacuum-metallized wheels and front grill. The paint deco on his head is meant to evoke that of ''Car Robots'' [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. Perhaps the most important differences are that he has die-cast metal parts, and most of his truck body panels are coated in gloss black paint.

: Perhaps due to cost-cutting, this toy was released in the large bubble-on-a-tray packaging also used in the ''Alternators'' line. However, he came with no character or packaging art.

: The ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' fiction [[Repurposing|repurposes]] this figure as a new body for Optimus Primal, based on how Primal's disembodied spark had previously taken possession of Nemesis's body earlier in the ''[[Story of Binaltech|Binaltech]]'' story.

: Part of the sixth wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toys, Optimus Primal (using his Hasbro market name) is a [[repaint]] of the Deluxe-sized ''Beast Wars 10th Anniversary'' Optimus Primal toy, and is the first release of the mold in Japan. He features warmer, more yellowish paint for the gorilla chest and face, and relocates the [[Maximal]] [[insignia]] to the ''underside'' of his gorilla backside [[kibble]] panel. His hoverboard, meanwhile, uses a darker shade of blue paint for the Cyber Key jack, and the front of the hoverboard features both the "stripes" from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Gorilla|the ''Cybertron'' redeco]] of this toy, and the fully-painted vents from the "10th Anniversary" version.

:Like the 5th and 6th wave figures, Optimus Primal's package feature a sticker that said "limited quantity (数量限定)", indicating that this figure is released in limited numbers after its first and only shipment. Both his [[instructions]] and packaging brand him as an [[Autobot]].

: Part of the ''[[Legend Commander Collection]]'' sold at [[Transformers Expo]], Convoy (Beast Wars) is a redeco of ''Robotmasters'' Beast Convoy. The toy also features several deco differences: While the paint applications were similar to the first ''Robotmasters'' Beast Convoy toy, the mouth was painted blue like the ''Telemocha'' Convoy, the white paint uses on this toy are brighter white compared to the first toy, some of the Robot Mode's chest detailing features lavender white paint details, and the gunmetal paint were used for the Beast Mode face.

:Sold at the rather expensive price of $140.00 (but often discounted), ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' "Year of the [[Trukk not munky|Monkey]]" Optimus Primal is a redeco of [[#Robots in Disguise (2001)|''Robots in Disguise'' Air Attack Optimus Primal]], with his coloration inspired by an amalgamation of [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Primes]] and/or [[Primal Prime]]. He retains all the electronic gimmicks from the previous toy, with an exception of the voice clips (unfortunately, only the lines "Optimus Primal" (said ''twice'') and "Transformers" are played) and sound effects/music, which was newly recorded. He also sometimes yells "transform!" when pushing his chest, and now growls if you shoot the disc in beast mode or push his monkey head. The chest no longer hums after turning it on.

* '''Evolution Optimal Optimus''' (Leader Class, [[2018]])
**''Japanese ID number'': '''PP-27'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[August 25]], 2018'''
**''Accessories'': Evolution Armor, two cannons/clubs, [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix of Leadership]] frame, Matrix of Leadership core, 2 blast shields
:In accordance with his victory in a poll to choose the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], Optimus Primal received a toy in ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''. Like all ''Power of the Primes'' Leader Class figures, Optimus is a small Deluxe-sized robot who combines with the armor to form a larger figure based on the "Optimal Optimus" toy from the original ''Beast Wars'' toyline. His smaller robot form transforms into a futuristic cargo ship; according to Hasbro at [[Toy Fair 2018]], the inner robot is meant to represent his Cybertronian form.

:He includes a Matrix of Leadership accessory with a removable center crystal, allowing any [[Prime Master]] to take its place. The Matrix can store in the cockpit, in reference to the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[Optimal Situation]]", as well as two cannons which can be held as clubs or as guns in robot mode, and they can store in the legs of the Evolution Armor in ape mode. The Evolution Armor transforms into Optimal Optimus's gorilla mode, minus his backpack. The gorilla can ride Optimus Primal's ship mode as a surfboard, as a callback to Primal's [[#MegaTransmetal|Transmetal]] body and [[#Beast Wars 10th Anniversary|''Beast Wars 10th Anniversary'']] Deluxe figure. Optimus Primal can transform into a backpack for the gorilla, or combine with the armor to form a jet. His two cannons can be placed on his chest after moving the cockpit down or next to his head. They can also be left off and combined into a larger rifle or stored on his legs. In combined robot or ape mode, the weapons (individually or as a rifle) can be pegged into a 5mm post hole on either thumb, through there is no real way to do this that isn't awkward due to the placement.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''PP-43'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[January 26]], [[2019]]'''
:''Power of the Primes'' "Throne of the Primes" Optimal Optimus is a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2018-exclusive redeco of Evolution Optimal Optimus. The biggest change in his deco is to the Evolution Armor itself, which features the same colors as the core figure. The waist and backpack of the core figure, along with the blast shields, are cast in same dark gray as his shoulders, chest, and calves. The outer shell of the Matrix core figure is recolored reddish-orange, and the cannons feature additional paint applications.

:The additional accessories tie in to Primal's winning of the [[Power of the Primes (franchise)#Notes|2017 fan vote for the next Prime]]. The Scepter of Sparks, modelled after the [[#MegaTransmetal|Transmetal figure]]'s club, which doubles as a mace, can hold up to four Prime Masters, such as the four included in this set. The crown is a new mold, featuring the Maximal logo on the front. Finally, the Throne of the Primes, while a cardboard insert, features artwork of the faces of the eight other competitors in the survey—[[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], and [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Unknown Evil]]. The Prime Masters can also be stored in the [[Halo of Primus]], a circular rotating plastic tray included on the back of the throne.

:The four Primes he comes with are [[Amalgamous Prime#Generations|Amalgamous]], [[Nexus Prime#Generations|Nexus]], [[Prima#Generations|Prima]] and the [[Thirteenth Prime#Generations|Thirteenth]].

:For some odd reason, HasbroToyShop stock photography showed the figure with a [[Megatronus]] [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Generations|Inferno]] [[Prime Master/Combinations|card]], despite the figure coming with his own special card.

:Debuting at SDCC 2018, this set was later made available via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], but sold out in about 20 minutes. The toy was later released at general retail in Taiwan and Japan.

**''Accessories'': Double Cyber blade
:[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'']] Optimus Primal is a new mold that converts into a realistic gorilla. In robot mode, Primal's sculpt emphasises [[show-accuracy]] (though many of his red colors have been recolored blue).

:Primal, making up for his small-for-a-Voyager stature, has a load of features: fold-out shoulder cannons and dual Cyber Blades, pop-out forearm blasters, and -in a rarity for mass-release figures- opening hands.

:Some stock photos, such as the one to the right, are slightly mistransformed, with the robot mode's shoulder cannons still extended on the gorilla's shoulders. Some pictures also pose his gorilla legs in a way that makes the flap of thigh-covering [[kibble]] appear like a loincloth, when they can be made to sit flush with the legs for a natural appearance.

:Like all ''Kingdom'' figures, Primal includes a Golden Disk card displaying the possible "Destiny" of another figure.

:Released to celebrate ''Beast Wars''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s 20th anniversary, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Convoy is a faithful recreation of the character as he appeared in the Mainframe animated series.
[[File:TF-Masterpiece-MP32-Asia-exclusive-skull-flail.jpg|left|100px|thumb|It's a lost art of weaponry.]]
:Matching his original figure, Convoy has two "cyber blade" swords, which can now be stored on his back in robot mode. Each wrist has cartoon-accurate flip-out "plasma cannons", while his "mega blaster" shoulder cannons have also been recreated. In robot mode, a panel can rotate in his posterior to reveal his "convoy jet".

:Convoy has the new gimmick of light-up eyes. These are powered by two computer batteries stored in the beast mode head and activated by pressing down the robot mode head. They stay lit for about ten seconds. Convoy comes with three different gorilla faces: neutral; smiling and angry, and four different robot mode faces: open-mouthed; close-mouthed; smirking and original style mouthless faceplate.

:''Masterpiece'' Optimus Primal is an inch or two smaller than his original Ultra Class toy, comparable to Beast Wars Neo [[Big Convoy]]. Not shown in the instructions is a peghole in the waist, designed to allow Convoy to be mounted on a flying stand. Another undocumented feature is a peg on his back, that allows ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Rattrap (BW)/toys#Generations|Rattrap]] to ride on his back by plugging the aforementioned peg in the hole that is normally used for weapon storage in beast mode.

:If bought in Asian countries outside of Japan, he also comes with a die-cast skull flail based on the one that came with the original toy. It comes packaged in a cardboard box designed to look like a crate of [[banana]]s.

==Notes==

* According to Bob Forward at a BotCon panel, the "Flight Mode" Primal has in the first season of the ''Beast Wars'' animation is a vestigial reference to the bat-form, the concept being that Primal and Megatron would each have had 4(!) modes, able to transform freely between them. This was ultimately considered too difficult to animate, and the concept was dropped, Primal's "Prime Jets" being a way to prevent re-writing the flight-related parts of the scripts.
* Primal's gorilla mode, paired against [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s ''T. rex'' mode, was inspired by the showdown in the film ''[[King Kong]]''.<ref>[http://obscuretf.com/hhk/BC04interviews.html Botcon 2004 Interview with Vinnie D'Alleva], p2</ref>
* According to the control art of Optimus Primal's toy, his chest originally seemed to be a kind of launcher instead of being an homage to the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]].<ref>Page 50, Toy database section in ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]''</ref>

Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise

2020-12-20T05:23:42Z

Nullwave: I'm surprised this entry stayed up for so long- it's unlicensed product!

{{suite}}

'''Optimus Prime''' is a bit of a shill.
==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by HG Toys, Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.
{{-}}

==Knitting Pattern==
[[File:Transformers-knitting-pattern.JPG|thumb|Here to transform your sweater into something that will get your ass kicked.]]
*'''Wendy DK 3015''' (1986)
: Produced by U.K. company Wendy DK and designed by Joy Gammon, this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.
{{-}}

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

::*''[http://fredsworkshop.com/oral.html Images of the Oral Care Station in-box at FredsWorkshop.com]''

==The Transformers Cookie Jar==
*'''The Transformers Cookie Jar''' (1984?)
:A ceramic cookie jar in the likeness of Optimus Prime's head. The top of Prime's head lifts off for the storage of delicious baked goods or Energon or what-have-you. The cookie jar was manufactured by [[Great American Housewares]] under license from [[Hasbro]].
::*''[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/179468-optimus-prime-cookie-jar-price-check.html Images of The Transformers Cookie Jar at TFW2005]''

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially partforms, as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 henkei prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.
{{-}}

*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Prime was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the "[[Decoy]]" promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (31, in Prime's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1986/Autobot/Decoys/OptimusPrime/optimusprime.htm More information on Decoy Optimus Prime at TFU.info]''
{{-}}

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Optimus Prime Vinyl Figure set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Vinyl Prime leads his decoys into battle [[Action Masters|before the great storm]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.1'''
:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==Generation 2==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?

==Metalforce==
[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand
:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allow him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands and helmet, for some reason...

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and has an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

{{-}}
==Choro-Q==
*'''Convoy''' (2000)

:''[[Choro-Q]]'' Convoy is a [[redeco]] of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's ''Choro-Q'' toyline of non-transforming [[super-deformed]] vehicles. He was an [[exclusive]] at [[BotCon]] Japan 2000, and features a [[pull-back motor]] and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|#Igotprimeonit]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Optimus Prime was available as part of the first wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFaxe}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy with Ax''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Also available in the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave was a rare "Secret Figure" version of Optimus (斧付きコンボイ, ''ono-tsuki konboi''), decorated in metallic paint and replacing his gun-wielding right hand with his [[energon-axe]].

: It was ''presumably'' released at a ratio of one per every ten cases; while this has not been officially confirmed, later waves gave these odds for Secret Figures.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFtrailer}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Truck.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|We're just as confused as you are, folks.]]
*'''Convoy (Trailer Mode)''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''

:Part of the second ''Super Collection Figure'' act, this is the only ''SCF'' figure of a vehicle mode Transformer. As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Unlike every other figure in the line (excluding build-a-figures), this one does ''not'' come with a figure stand, because... well, what would be the point?

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegaGun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase jetpack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Megatron & Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:The second ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, like the first, also had its own Optimus Prime chase figure, this one wielding Megatron in gun mode and wearing [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s [[jet pack|rocket pack]], as seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

: This was presumably also released at a ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFdamage}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase damage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Damaged Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:There was no mass-release Optimus Prime figure for the third ''Super Collection Figure'' act, but there was another rare chase figure, this time a battle-damaged version of the original figure from the first act, referencing his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

: Again, it was ''probably'' released in one out of every ten cases. He replaced the clear version of [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Super Collection Figure|Bumblebee]] in the case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFcom}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Comm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He's actually checking his makeup.]]
*'''Convoy (B)''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFSilverMatrix}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase silver.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:This version of Prime was a chase figure in the fifth ''Super Collection Figure'' act, and depicts the Autobot leader, rendered in metallic silver, opening the Matrix, referencing the end of "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]". This figure was packed in at a ''confirmed'' ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegatrongun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Act6.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shadow the Convoy, ow the edge.]]
*'''Convoy (C) with Megatron Gun Mode''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Extra right fist, stand

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFStarConvoy}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Star Convoy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Chonktimus Prime.]]
*'''Star Convoy''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:After taking a break for the seventh wave, Prime returned for the eighth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, which would prove to be the final Generation 1-themed set of figures. This figure of Prime in his Star Convoy body was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the colored version came with the right arm for the wave's [[Scorponok (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]] build-a-figure; this part could be in either full color or pewter, at a 4:4 ratio.

{{-}}{{anchor|ConvoySet}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Earth Obliteration.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Special "The Earth Obliteration Plan": Exclusive Convoy Set''' ([[February 3|Feb 3]] 2002)
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Available exclusively at the Wonder Festival convention, this set includes two metallic-paint versions of Convoy figures from Act 2: the "Convoy w/ Megatron Gun" chase figure (minus the jetpack), and the truck-mode "figure".

: The set was limited to only 1000 units.

{{-}}{{anchor|ConfrontationSet}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Confrontation.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''TF Confrontation Set 01: Convoy vs Megatron''' ([[September 20|Sept 20]]-[[September 22|22]], 2002)
**''Accessories:'' Energon-axe

: Exclusive to the Tokyo Game Show 2002, this special set includes a new version of the original first-Act Optimus Prime figure, along with a new version of the first-Act Megatron. Both are cast in transparent plastic and completely painted over in a grimy, battle-damaged look. Both also come with the interchangeable energon-axe and mace weapons from their first-wave chase figures. Completing the theme of the set is the backdrop of the packaging interior, which depicts [[Sherman Dam]].

: Curiously, Optimus features the larger, rounded-off antennae of the [[Hasbro]] ''[[Heroes of Cybertron#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' version of the mold, which was in production/circulation about the same time.

: As with the above Wonder Festival set, this set was also limited to 1000 units.
{{-}}

==Heroes of Cybertron==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

{{-}}{{anchor|HOCApex}}
[[File:HOC Optimus Apex.jpg|upright=1.66|right|thumb|Don't tell anyone, but this crap is HEAVY!]]
*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

[[File:HOC Optimus Axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Energon Axe: Only used in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 2|one episode]]. Ever.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

: In a yet another unusual choice for the line, this second-wave figurine is a redeco of the first God Ginrai/Powermaster Prime Apex Armor PVC figure, cast in translucent orange plastic with red gradients and flame detailing, depicting a "spark attack" mode.

: This is a variant of the ''Super Collection Figure'' "God Fire Guts" God Ginrai chase figure, which had been rendered entirely in solid metallic gold paint.

He features Movie-style faction symbols on his right arm and both sides of his cab mode. He is love.

As with all ''Heroes'' figures, Optimus Prime is a simple, yet well-detailed two-inch tall figurine with exaggerated, cartoony proportions. He is sculpted holding his Ion Blaster rifle in his right fist and his left arm in a pointing pose. He is also love, and demands that you pull his [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3#Notes|Finger of Doom]].

:Hilariously, the way Optimus Prime and Ravage being packaged (with Prime pointing his finger to Ravage) gives an impression of [http://orig12.deviantart.net/b22b/f/2008/216/7/1/optimus_prime_vs_ravage_by_cobaltkitty.jpg him freaking out to Ravage's size].

==Revoltech==
[[File:Revoltech Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Windowbra! ''(2007 Version pictured)'']]
*'''Convoy''' (2007/2014)
**''Series number:'' '''019'''
**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

**''Series number:'' 014
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Energon Axe, 1 pair of splayed hands, 1 pair of trigger hands, left clawed hand, right pointing hand, interlocked hand

:''Amazing Yamaguchi'' Convoy is an all-new take to the Revoltech figure above, but more poseable. Apart from the Ion Blaster, this figure comes with an Energon Axe accessory, and an interlocked hand accessory that is used to took down Megatron in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:Unlike the first Revoltech figure, Convoy features painted-details-on-colored-plastic rather than fully coating them. The plastic is noted to have a hollow feel compared to the first figure.

:Due to production delays, the release date is rescheduled from September 29 to October 24.

*'''Megatron''' (Decepticon Leader, 1984/1985)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''16'''
**''Accessories (Hasbro release)'': Silencer, stock, telescopic sight/fusion cannon, "high-density infrared laser cannon"
**''Accessories (Takara release)'': Sword, "high-density infrared laser cannon", 20 bullets

:Released in the first year of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original Megatron toy began life as the ''[[Microman]]'' figure "Gun Robo - P38", which transforms into an accurate replica of a Walther P-38 pistol. This ''Microman'' figure was available in two forms: a standard version in two color schemes (one grey, one black), and the "Gun Robo - P38 U.N.C.L.E.", outfitted with three distinctive accessories—a scope, a silencer and a stock—that replicate the appearance of the unique, specialized Walther pistol seen in the popular 1960s spy television series ''{{w|The Man from U.N.C.L.E.}}'' <ref>"U.N.C.L.E. Special" Carbine at CIA Museum, [http://web.archive.org/web/20100324191047/https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/spy-fi-archives/item08.html archived version]</ref> It was the "U.N.C.L.E." version, with all of its special accessories, that was released by Hasbro as Megatron. When the figure is in [[robot mode]], the sight doubles as his signature arm-mounted [[fusion cannon]], but can also be combined with the other attachments to form either a "[[Particle beam cannon|Particle Beam Cannon]]" weapons emplacement that Megatron can man, or a "Telescopic Laser Cannon" that connects to the figure as an over-shoulder weapons array. The pieces can also form a turret that a ''Microman'' figure can sit on and operate (that's what the tiny handles on Megatron's fusion cannon are for), but this feature was naturally left out of the ''Transformers'' version's instructions. Megatron also came with a chromed silver "high-density infrared laser cannon" that plugs into either of his hands.

:The original ''Microman'' release of the toy that would be Megatron featured a spring-loaded firing mechanism that allowed the toy to shoot ([[for safety reasons|dangerously small]]) plastic bullets one at a time from its barrel. A similar launching mechanism was also built into the stock piece, which could launch the bullets when the accessories were configured into their weapons emplacement mode, or attach to Megatron's hip when in robot mode and launch the bullets through his barrel. As with all missile-firing gimmicks, this feature was removed from the Hasbro release of the toy, though the ports into which the bullets were inserted are still present.

:Megatron has had several variations, reissues and [[redeco]]s released down through the years; this article strives to list each distinct edition of the toy under its own respective series. The earliest variation of the toy came in 1985, when (like all toys originally available in 1984) a factory-applied [[rubsign]] was added to Megatron's right arm while another version had the rub sign on his left hip guard. Then, the following year, when he was no longer a part of the toy assortment sold at retail, Megatron was made available as a mail-away item in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" flier packed in with boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $21.50 and five [[Robot Point]]s. To coincide with the 1986 animated movie release, he was also offered in 'The Autobots Have A Special Mission For...' mail-away pamphlet and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered rare.)

:Perhaps the most significant variant of Megatron released in these early years was the version of the figure released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in Japan (pictured below). Instead of using the ''Microman'' "U.N.C.L.E." figure as Hasbro had, Takara released the ''standard'' version of the Gun Robo P-38 ''Microman'' figure, in its grey color scheme, which featured flat grey plastic on the chest and arms (where Hasbro's toy was chromed), and blue plastic on the inner arms and legs (where Hasbro's was red). Most notably, like that standard ''Microman'' figure, Takara's Megatron did not come with the stock, silencer and scope accessories (lacking even the attachment point for his cannon on his right arm), but instead came with a silver-chromed sword and retained his original bullet-firing mechanism. Takara's [[package art]] for the figure was an entirely different illustration from the Hasbro version, showing this toy's accessories, but it still erroneously showed the figure with red plastic on its limbs. This coloration was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] by [[e-HOBBY]] for a new character named [[Megaplex]].

:Megatron is probably the most troubled Transformer toy in all of Transformer history, due to being originally Japanese which had different toy laws, he is frequently [[For safety reasons|banned]] due to being a realistic gun while lacking an orange cap to indicate it's not a real gun. Some countries banned it or deemed it illegal due to criminals or kids misusing it as a real gun and terrorizing others, or law enforcement mistaking it for a real firearm and shooting innocent people dead (as has happened multiple times in the past). For you American fans, it may actually be easier to own a ''real'' Walther P-38 handgun than this original Megatron toy.

:In Japan, Megatron was also made available in a special two-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]. Both toys were identical to their individual releases. In Megatron's case, that means unchromed gray plastic, blue instead of red, and a functional firing mechanism and sword, instead of the scope, silencer and stock. This box also used an altered version of the individual release's box-art, turning his head sideways to face Prime, as opposed to the original's camera-facing head position.

Though still lacking the silencer and stock, the toy retained its Japanese-exclusive sword accessory and its bullet-firing mechanism, with one modification: The bullets, formerly blue, were now red.

:Despite the change to the toy's colors, the box art on this set, the same art used for the [[Hasbro]] releases, was recolored to match the blue of the ''previous'' releases. Whoops.

*'''Neutro-Fusion Tank with Megatron''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': Neutro-Fusion Tank, 4 missiles, "twin laser cannon"

:Megatron returned as an ''[[Action Master]]'' in 1990, and as with most ''Action Master'' figures, he could not transform. His sculpt was based heavily upon the character's animation model design. Megatron is compatible with all other Action Master accessories and vehicles.

:He came packaged with the [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]], a large tank vehicle whose hull could transform into a base/gun emplacement, with the turret forming a flight pod. Four "corrosive smoke shell" accessories mounted on both sides of the tank. There are seats for two Action Master figures on the front on either side of the barrel, another seat inside the turret, and four pegs on the back of the tank for standing additional Action Master figures.

:The tank's turret can detach and become a "jet throne," which features flip-out wings, and the body of the tank transforms into a missile-launcher battle station. The battle station has two seats on either side behind the missile launchers (non-firing) and a stowing bay in the center for an additional figure.

:In a fairly notable omission, ''Action Master'' Megatron did not come with the character's iconic fusion cannon accessory. In 1992, however, a Japanese fan sculpted his own cannon accessory, which could plug into the figure's arm using the shoulder screw-hole (seen in the image at right). In a surprising move, Takara gave this cannon their approval and allowed it to be officially sold with their copyright stamp at a Japanese convention {{fact|which one?}} for only one day, at the price of 2000 yen.

:This reissue of the original Megatron figure combines the best aspects of the Hasbro and Takara versions into the most "complete" version of Megatron available at that point. The set features the chromed chest and arms and red plastic of the Hasbro release, and includes the silencer, stock and sight/cannon, while also coming with Takara's sword and functional bullet-firing mechanism.

**''Accessories'': Silencer, stock, telescopic sight/fusion cannon, "high-density infrared laser cannon", sword, 20 bullets

: Where the original Takara Megatron toy made use of one of the two color schemes of the original ''Microman'' Gun Robo P38 toy, this redeco of the 2000 reissue Megatron is an homage to the ''second'', black color scheme for the ''Microman'' toy, though it does not accurately replicate it. Available exclusively through e-Hobby and pre-orders at [[BotCon Japan 2000]], "Megatron Black Version" features dark gunmetal chrome, black plastic instead of grey, and distinctive brown gun handle-grips, fists and "inner helmet". The chrome replaces the flat black plastic of the original ''Microman'' toy, which also had blue plastic on its legs and arms that is here supplanted by Megatron's now-traditional red. The toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

: e-Hobby later reissued Megatron Black Version in February 2009, now in [[Collector's Edition]] packaging. This release includes a [[Destron Leader Megatron Black Ver.|mini-comic]] explaining the story behind the redeco.

*'''Megatron''' (Decepticon, 1992)
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 6 missiles, sight

: Owing to Hasbro's [[for safety reasons|inability]] to re-release the original Megatron because that toy was a pistol, ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' instead saw the release of an entirely new Megatron toy in 1992, now as a large green M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. His main gimmick is his gravity-fed cannon, which holds four of his missiles at once (the remaining two can store in clips inside his legs) and can rapidly launch them one after the other. Pulling back on the cannon's tab drops a missile into the firing tube and triggers a "lock and load" sound effect, and pressing the launch button is accompanied by a firing sound effect. In tank mode, pressing a panel on his forward section trigger's the toy's infamous battle cry of '''"Megatron Attack!"''', while pressing down on the tank body while it is on a flat surface activates engine noises.

: In robot mode, Megatron is, by the standards of the time, a very large robot, towering over all ''Generation 2'' incarnations of Optimus Prime. His legs are immobile, but he has upper shoulder rotation and elbow joints; when raised, his left arm triggers an electronic laser sound effect. His cannon and all its sound effects still work in this mode, as does his "Megatron Attack!" sound effect, now triggered by pressing down on the figure's head. Megatron also features an autotransforming gimmick on the head, as it pops out once the cannon is slid to the right.

: This sculpt was slightly [[redeco]]ed (with new stickers) as ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Megastorm]].

: Furthermore, a [[retool]]ed version of the toy's lock-and-load shoulder cannon (or a new sculpt heavily based on it) was used as the main cannon on the [http://www.yojoe.com/sgtsavage/panther.shtml I.R.O.N Panther Tank] in the very short-lived 1995 ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' line ''Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles''.

*'''Megatron''' (Hero, 1993)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''TRF-2'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 2 air-launch missiles

:Megatron was released again the following year as [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Megatron: a smaller, but similarly styled tank based off the M1 Abrams. This Megatron was purple and came with a bellows that fired an air-propelled missile. Both missiles could be kept on Megatron thanks to clips on his turret, which become his robot mode arms... conveniently kinda simulating the "classic" Megatron arm cannon to boot.

: Hero Megatron was designed with articulation in mind, so he was loaded with multiple swivel and universal joints, giving him far greater movement compared to his original ''Generation 2'' toy. However, it's really just friction that keeps his joints tight and his parts together in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (no pegs or clips) so after a bit of time and play, he turns pretty floppy. The joints connecting his biceps to his shoulders are also reportedly easy to break due to overly-tight tolerances, so caution is advised.

: This toy was released in Europe, albeit with a "MEGATRON RULES"-free blank chest sticker, as [[Archforce]]. It was also redecoed into [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bludgeon (RID 2001)|Bludgeon]] (which has since been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to become "[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]" [[Bludgeon (SG)|Bludgeon]]), and retooled to become [[#reverseconvoy|Reverse Convoy]].

*'''Megatron''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

: Part of the second assortment of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]], this version of Megatron is a mild [[redeco]] of the Autobot [[Blowout]], transforming into a 1:64-scale Porsche 959 sports car with through-axle construction. This not only makes him roll exceptionally fast in car mode, but also makes him largely compatible with playsets from the "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" toy-car lines. Megatron and Blowout share the same blue and black inner robot colors, but Megatron uses opaque silver plastic with a shiny metallic silver paint overcoat, as opposed to Blowout's smoky-clear plastic. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; Blowout and [[Firecracker]] became new versions of Megatron and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GobotOptimusPrime|Optimus Prime]] respectively, while [[Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth]] stayed themselves.) In Europe, this deco was sold as Blowout himself rather than Megatron (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant).

: In Japan, his hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and the Japanese release of Go-Bots Optimus Prime.

:This sculpt was also redecod for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Frenzy (G1)#Generation 2|Frenzy]], and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spy Changer]] [[Hot Shot (RID)|Hot Shot]].

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], this two-pack of Megatron and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#ATB|Starscream]] was only released to test markets in Ohio in very limited quanities, and never saw a wide release. Megatron and Starscream combine to form a "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, with an under-slung six-missile gatling cannon that can rapid-fire six missiles by twisting the back end. Each wing can store three more missiles, which can "carpet-bomb" targets below by pressing the pressure-launch buttons above each. Removing Starscream from the jet mode triggers an autotransformation mechanism in Megatron's wings, folding them up and starting him on his way to his third mode as a treaded "tank."

: With this release cancelled, the toy was instead made available, with just a few small deco changes, in the ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars II]]'' toyline as [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]]. According to the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles were intended to glow in the dark, but this feature was not carried over to the ''Beast Wars II'' set.

*'''Optimus Primal VS Megatron''' (Basic Class Two-pack, 1996)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''VS-6'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun/tail

:Early on the life of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars'' toyline]], before the debut of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]] (which definitively established ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] as a separate, distinct character), packaging [[bio]]s and the [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|mini-comic]] sold with this first ''Beast Wars'' Megatron figure indicated that he was the same Megatron from Generation 1 and 2. As such, all the Megatron toys released in this early era of the ''Beast Wars'' line are listed here for completeness, representing a [[micro-continuity]] in which Generation 1 Megatron took on these forms.

:The initial version of ''Beast Wars'' Megatron transforms into a green alligator. The toy shares a mold with [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]], sporting different beast and robot mode heads and lacking the lizard's frill (though the screw hole for the frill bracket remains); as the two toys were released at the same time, it is unknown if one is a [[retool]] of the other, or if the mold was designed for both simultaneously. Megatron transforms via a spring-loaded one-step process, and his removable [[beast mode]] tail hides a non-firing blaster cannon that becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode.

:This mold was redecoed into the purple Megaligator ([[#CDgator|see below]]), and a different redeco was proposed for the unproduced [[Albitron]]. The Iguanus version of the mold was redecoed into [[Crazybolt (BWN)|Crazybolt]].

: Sharing a mold with his concurrently-released ally [[Megaplex#Toys|Megaplex]] (which had been a canceled mold developed for ''Generation 2''), ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Megatron transforms from a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet]] to robot mode with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. The two halves of his rifle store in the back of his robot mode legs.

: Oddly, the ''Machine Wars'' stock photos (and even the boxart) portray Megatron as the gray F-22 jet and Megaplex as the blue one, the ''opposite'' of the actual toys. This means that either the package designers made the mistake, or the toys were packaged on the wrong cards. The latter is more likely, since gray is more associated with Megatron than blue. Like most other toys in the line, the boxart was recycled from an earlier figure, in this case from the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]].

: A diminutive version of Megatron in his Walther P-38 mode was included as a new accessory with the ''Transformers Collection'' release of Starscream. Needless to say, he doesn't transform, but can be held by Starscream in both modes. Megatron's handle disconnects to reveal a peg, which can then be inserted into either of Starscream's fists, which were specifically resculpted for this purpose. Each fist also features a tab on its underside, into which Megatron's handle can be inserted, completing the effect. Megatron can also attach to Starscream's jet mode; the right-hand side of Megatron's handle features a square peg which is designed to fit snugly in gaps in Starscream's pectorals, as in the Generation 1 episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". Unfortunately, this peg has, for no fathomable reason, been cast in the same sky blue color as Starscream's hands, unnecessarily making it ''as obtrusive as humanly possible''. An additional tabbed right fist for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]] (complementing his then-upcoming ''Transformers Collection'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers Collection|Convoy]] release) was included as well.

: Hasbro attempted to include the original Generation 1 Megatron toy in their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' of reissues, but his realistic-gun-ness posed [[for safety reasons|a challenge]]. In an attempt to convince Toys R Us (the retailer through whom the line was exclusively available) to carry the toy, Hasbro proposed an extensive redeco of the figure, replacing its silver chrome with blue and its grey plastic with bright orange, including the tip of his silencer, in accordance with standard safety measures taken with toy guns. Even this was not enough to convince the chain to release the figure and it was shelved, but the design was shown to fans at [[BotCon 2002]], where it was noted that a potential way to the market the unusually-colored toy would have been to brand it as "'''Lava Megatron'''", depicting the Decepticon leader after his dunk in lava at the end of the cartoon episode, "[[Heavy Metal War]]". Fans, however, had another nickname for it that became better known: "'''Safety Megatron'''". Notably, this version of the toy would apparently have come with Megatron's Japanese-exclusive sword accessory.

: ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Megatron was released in the second wave of the diminutive Takara toyline, including only his fusion cannon. Easily the most complex of the ''Smallest Transforming'' figures, Megatron is a just-barely-simplified version of his original Generation 1 toy, possessing the same [[transformation scheme]] and retaining most of his articulation. The transformation step involving sliding his chest upwards away from his hips is extremely difficult and will usually result in the chest popping off; this is fixable.

:Just as ''Smallest Transforming'' Optimus Prime's trailer was released as a separate figure in the line, so too were a set of silencer and stock attachments originally intended to be released for Megatron in the line's third wave. Unfortunately, this wave, and most of the other original figures it was set to contain, was cancelled, and so Megatron was left under-armed.

: A [[retool]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Deluxe-sized "Hero Megatron" toy, Rebirth Megatron transforms into a heavily modified blue and tan [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|M1 Abrams tank]]. In addition to a new "[[Reverse Convoy]]" head that flips out of the same compartment as the head on the original version of the mold, the toy features a brand new "Mega Blaster" cannon assembly that houses most of the toy's new features. The Mega Blaster fires a spring-loaded blue missile, and the rear of the cannon can be removed and transformed into the hand-held "Reverse Blaster" weapon, featuring twin barrels and a rack of six (non-removable) missiles. Once the Reverse Blaster is removed, the toy's "Rebirth Megatron" head can be rotated out from the back of the cannon to take the place of Reverse Convoy's head between the figure's shoulders.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2003/2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories'': Scope, silencer, stock

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime included an accessory of Megatron in his classic Walther P-38 altmode. Although non-transforming, it is quite detailed and includes the individually removable silencer / barrel extension, scope, and (hinged) stock. Although notionally [[scale]]d to be wielded by Prime, Megatron is really rather small, so a diagonal sliding joint is added to his handle, allowing it to be lengthened and narrowed enough so that Prime can actually hold it. Both the stock and the sliding butt-end of the handle are made of a soft, rubbery vinyl, compared to the hard plastic of the other pieces. The stock extension connecting clamp is prone to breakage, much to the chagrin of owners who keep theirs sealed and untouched.

:Needless to say, the later-released ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] (and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|his]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|redecoes]]) can also hold this version of Megatron, and each include a small round clip that plugs in under their nosecones, allowing them to wield Megatron while in jet mode, as Starscream did in "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]".

:As the ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime mold has been has re-released multiple times, so too has Megatron. He was made available again without changes as an accessory for Takara's MP-4, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP4|Convoy Perfect Edition]]" and MP-1L, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP1L|Convoy Last Production]]", and Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]", but has also been redecoed several times: these distinct new versions of Megatron are listed below.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-5'''
**''Accessories:'' Fusion cannon, energon mace, energy dagger, laser pistol, [[Kremzeek]] figure

: Scaled to the same height as ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime and designed in only twelve days by [[Hisashi Yuki]],<ref name="mpmegsdev">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/takaratomy-staff-interview-hisashi-yuki-on-masterpiece-180888/ TakaraTomy Staff Interview - Hisashi Yuki on Masterpiece]: - I hear the first Masterpiece figure you created was MP-5 Megatron and you hold the fastest development record with it.
[Yuki]: That is right. (*laughs) I was not assigned to be in charge of it initially, but due to the circumstance within the company I was unexpectedly handed down the project. The schedule came with it and I was stunned when I realised that I was only given 12 days, about 2 weeks...To make it worse, at the time of my receiving the task, even the product size wasn't decided. (*tears)</ref> ''Masterpiece'' Megatron is an incredibly complex figure—potentially one of, if not ''the'', most complicated ''Transformers'' toys to date—designed to depict a fairly [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] Megatron capable of transforming into a realistic (if oversized) Walther P-38. In achieving this seemingly impossible goal, Megatron winds up with the least articulation of the ''Masterpiece'' line, as well as a notably low percentage of die-cast metal.

: Like Prime before him, Megatron comes with several of his iconic accessories from the Generation 1 cartoon: his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2", the energy dagger and laser pistol used in his duel against Prime in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and a tiny translucent [[Kremzeek#Masterpiece|Kremzeek]] figure. His fusion cannon also contains a powerful red LED activated when the round detailing on the side of his cannon is pressed. Unfortunately, Megatron lacks the extended-stock and silencer parts to complete his gun mode, leaving him as a standard pistol aside from the mounted-scope made from his Fusion Cannon.

: Due to concern surrounding updated realistic toy gun laws, some online importers modified ''Masterpiece'' Megatron in order to safely get the toy through United States customs. This customarily involved inserting plugs into the tip of the toy's barrel, from rounded red ones affixed by adhesive to [[:File:HLJplug.jpg|flat-tipped yellow ones]] that could be easily removed. Ultimately, there were no reports of problems with the toy making its way into America, but Australia was another matter. Considered a replica gun and therefore a "restricted import" by Australian Customs, both mass shipments and individual packages of the toy were seized, requiring buyers in some areas to obtain a special permit to own him.

: Given the relatively thin clips throughout the toy to hold it tightly together in gun mode, Megatron's plastic components are particularly prone to breakage, especially on the clips on the upper black grip plates and some of the silver sections near the trigger. Many owners of this figure have also reported rust and tarnish problems on what few metal pieces he has; if your Megatron is a sufferer, check out [http://seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=16106 this guide] for solutions.

Both the sliding butt-end of the handle and the stock have been molded in hard plastic instead of the soft rubbery vinyl of the MP-01 version. A joint has been added to the stock connection point on the handle; for the joint in the stock itself, a straight pin has replaced the original rivet-style pin the softer plastic required. The stock itself no longer emulates the transforming accessory from the G1 toy, and instead features a smaller cylindrical shaft that more closely resembles the original U.N.C.L.E Special.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-36'''
**''Accessories'': Fusion cannon/scope, stock, silencer, energon mace, jointed chain for mace, angry face, smiling face, neutral face, damaged face, chestplate, damaged chestplate, clone control helmet, energy dagger, laser pistol, [[Key to Vector Sigma#MP36|Key to Vector Sigma]]

:A completely new mold, this second version of Megatron transforms from a more accurate-looking and well-articulated robot mode into a more realistically-sized gun; those extra design goals make this figure's transformation even more challenging than the 2007 figure (and, really, anything else). He comes with the stock and silencer parts for the gun that the MP-5 mold was missing, which can be combined to create both the "telescopic laser cannon" and "particle beam cannon" arrays the pieces were capable of forming on the Generation 1 toy; the stock also transforms into a "flight stand" that can support the figure in mid-air. In addition to his "regular" face, Megatron has alternate angry and smiling faces, plus a fourth, damaged face that, together with an alternate damaged chestplate, replicates his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. When his face is removed, it exposes a detailed recreation of the interior of his head as it was shown during the "x-ray" sequence in the film, when he was reformatted into Galvatron.

:Like the previous ''Masterpiece'' figure, Megatron comes with the pistol and energy dagger used during his battle with Prime in the movie, and his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2," which this time comes with a jointed plastic chain that allows the weapon to be posed dynamically, in addition to a regular, "real" chain. Finally, he also comes with a diecast Key to Vector Sigma from the [[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1|two]]-[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2|part]] Generation 1 cartoon episode of the same name, and the clone control helmet he wore in "[[A Prime Problem]]."

:Unfortunately, this figure is prone to paint damage on areas that scrape together during transformation. Significant care must be taken when covering the robot face with the chestplate (or you can just take the face off beforehand as a precaution). It is apparently impossible to attach the silencer without scraping some paint off the gun barrel, not helped by the fact of some copies having the silencer stuck due to the inner plastic piece meant to slide inside the gun barrel being too thick.

:Megatron holds the distinction of being the first ''Masterpiece'' figure with a soundbox, activated by pressing a button on the fusion cannon, with a red switch to give a selection. The three positions of the cannon's sliding switch now denote a singular laser noise, the transformation sound effect (played forwards and backwards), and five speech clips by his Japanese voice actor, [[Seizō Katō]]: "Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!" (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), "Eei, Cybertron wo hineri-tsubuse!" (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), "Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!" (You're all useless!), "Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!" (Grrah, I'll destroy you!), and "Destron gundan, transform!" (Decepticon army, transform!). Due to Katō's death three years prior, Megatron's clips were reused from the 2005 reissue Galvatron.

:When purchased in some non-Japanese online stores like [[BigBadToyStore]], Megatron comes with an orange plug.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''MP-36+'''
**''Accessories'': Fusion cannon/scope, stock, silencer, toy-accurate face, neutral face, angry face, smiling face, chestplate, cartoon-accurate chestplate
:A redeco of MP-36, this Megatron replicates his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy's appearance]], complete with vacuum-metalized parts and several stickers. Subsequently, most of the original MP-36 accessories are omitted, such as the Key to Vector Sigma, Clone Control Helmet, and the 1986 movie accessories. However, it maintains all face plates based from the MP-36 mold, but with yellow eyes, and suitable for either figure, as well as adding a shiny chromed version of the cartoon-accurate chest plate, for those who prefer to interpret the Megatron's coloring in the cartoon as silver rather than gray.

:In aid of the "toy-accurate" theme, Megatron's gun barrel is now nominally positioned next to his right hip rather than on his back; this required no retooling as it can also be achieved with the regular MP-36. Among the toy-accurate deco enhancements is the addition of Decepticon logos onto the handle of the gun mode. Due to the transformation pattern, these logos end up [[Wikipedia:tramp stamp|amusingly placed]] on his butt.

:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, MP-36+ comes with a collector coin. The coin and the card it's mounted on appear almost identical to the one included with the original version, except for a "+" added on the reverse side of the coin, and the "2018" date stamp on the back of the card.

*'''Megatron''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Stand with nameplate

:Part of the very first wave of six-inch ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toys, Megatron was inspired by [[Dreamwave Productions]]' first ''[[Transformers/G.I. Joe]]'' comic book series, set in an alternate-reality World War II. Since the gun mode Megatron sported in that story was nonviable as a toy, this toy features a newly-designed tank alternate mode of made-up model. The backstory of the Megatron from the crossover, including references to Cobra, was retained on the package, make it the first U.S. figure ever produced as part of a ''G.I. Joe / [[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' crossover.

:Although the figure looks somewhat impressive, it notably has the tendency to fall apart during transformation, combined with loose joints, it was relatively difficult to pose in robot mode without it falling over, something that was entirely par for the course when it came to ''Titanium'' figures. It was known for being a shelfwarmer because of its poor quality, poor design, and poor paintjob, with many regarding it as one of the worst–if not ''the'' worst–Transformers toys ever.

Like the original comic book design, his robot mode has a removable arm cannon and shield. In contrast to his previous ''Titanium'' toy, this Megatron has a more posable robot mode, but a fairly unimpressive alternate mode with a transformation that consists of little more than lying the toy on its back and attaching the gun/shield. There is a small clip on the back of the toy which designer [[Don Figueroa]] said was to hold his sword, seen in the comic book, but that accessory was ultimately not produced.

:After years of tanks and jets, ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Megatron finally found a way to take Megatron back to his root as a transforming gun, complete with a working crosshairs in his scope and a spring-loaded clicking trigger. Described on-package as a "fusion blaster", Megatron's gun mode is apparently based on a [[:File:N-strike maverick.jpg|Nerf N-Strike Maverick blaster]], and decked out in a [[for safety reasons|safety-regulation-friendly]] color scheme consisting of lots of green and purple (in an apparent homage to his old ''Generation 2'' colors), plus bright orange on both the tip of the barrel and the scope. Years later, it would be discovered that, for currently unknown reasons, the bright color of this orange plastic would fade over time, even if not directly exposed to sunlight.

:Early [[stock photography|official Hasbro photographs]], including those appearing on the toy's [[packaging]], show the gun mode's trigger and other small parts as being orange, those parts were gray in later stock photography and the final release. They also depict Megatron with noticeably different "eyebrow" [[paint operation]]s that matched those of the original Megatron toy, consisting of two small black triangles on his gray plastic forehead.

*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle''' (Deluxe Class versus set, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Rifle
: "Ultimate Battle" Megatron evokes his ''Generation 2'' form as a green tank. Like his pack-in partner, who has a spinning "power punch" action, Megatron features a similar "spinning dervish action" gimmick, his right arm ending not in a fist but a bladed polearm which whirls around with the press of a button at his shoulder. At best, it looks silly, but at worst, it comes off easily. He comes with a small rifle with a rather pointless flip-out stock extension. The very tip of his cannon is a detachable piece, and can become lost ''very'' easily.

: Megatron is [[misassembly|misassembled]] in-package, with his feet swapped and attached backwards. Although not immediately noticeable due to the fact that [[:File:MegatronUltimateBattle.jpg|promotional]] and box-art photography also show this misassembly, any attempt to transform Megatron into tank mode immediately demonstrates the mistake, which is easily corrected by unscrewing his lower legs, reversing the foot pieces, and attaching each to the opposite leg (as has been done in the picture at right).

:In the United States, Megatron was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (in the [[United Kingdom]] and the Netherlands, the DVD just came in a paper sleeve; in other European countries, it was instead made available separately). In addition, the two figures were also sold on [[#cardedultbattle|individual cardbacks]] in some countries (see below).

:''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Megatron is a retool of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Sports Label|''Sports Label'' Convoy]], one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products in that he transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Megatron is primarily black and silver in his alternate mode as a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces (characterized as "electrical discharge cables" in his bio). In robot mode, he sports some additional red paint applications and a somewhat uniquely-shaped yet instantly recognizable Generation 1-inspired head. Also in this mode, Megatron's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode. In an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:The original Generation 1 Megatron figure was reissued yet again in 2007 as part of TakaraTomy's new line of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' reissues. Like previous reissues, this Megatron features the Hasbro colors and the accessories from both Hasbro and Takara editions of the figure, with the distinguishing new feature of a tan shade to both his gray plastic and his chrome.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]] Transformers'' Megatron is a redeco of the ''Classics'' Voyager Class mold. Not bound by the safety regulations that necessitated ''Classics'' Megatron's more colorful appearance, ''Henkei'' Megatron features a significantly different color scheme of black, silver and red designed to make him resemble his original Generation 1 appearance, including translucent red plastic to replicate his classic cartoon "Decepticon red" eyes. All ''Henkei'' toys feature (somewhat randomly-applied) vacuum-metalized chrome parts; in Megatron's case, his chest plate and kneecaps are chromed silver.

:A [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] version of Megatron inspired by [[#Generation 2|his ''Generation 2'' tank design]], although featuring a more realistic shade of green.

:Sadly, because of his transformation, when transformed into tank mode his turret doesn't turn around. Some of Legends Class Megatron's transformation shares several similarities to his Generation 2 toy.

:Although his first stock photography features a slightly long turret, the final product had it shortened.

**''ID number:'' '''SE-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle
[[File:Universe2008-toy SEMegatron.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Psst, my cannon shoots Nerf darts."]]
:This "Special Edition" of Megatron is a redeco of the "Ultimate Battle" Megatron from ''Classics'', this time featuring a Generation 1-inspired deco of grays, red and black. This new deco takes advantage of the toy's mould break-up to add a fifth plastic colour (where the original only had four), dividing the parts which were dark grey on the original version between light grey, red and black plastic. Also marking this figure as a particularly "special" edition is the fact that it's the first release of the figure to assemble his feet the correct way around. Amusingly, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him as ''missing a part'': his cannon's detachable tip is missing, and the tip of the cannon's stub is painted red to somehow compensate for that.

:Like all the figures in the small Special Edition line, Megatron was designed for Australasian markets and features a bookbox style packaging with black-and-white boxart, retailing at about 150% of the price for a normal deluxe outside of the United States. He was not available at retail in North America, but was for sale on Hasbrotoyshop.com, like the other Special Edition toys. Years later, Hasbro liquidated excess stock of the special edition figures through Marshall's stores and were sold for a fraction of the original prices.

:Oddly enough, this Megatron and the three other Universe Special Edition toys were included in Taiwanese special value packs each containing a [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)/home video|''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "tesseractal swords"
:The ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Megatron toy transforms into a 1:32 scale model of a Nissan 370Z and features die-cast metal parts and rubber tires. The figure wields two "tesseractal swords" which can be pegged at its hips, or stored under the car in vehicle mode. Each forearm features a flip-out "gravital blade."

: In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, each figure from this line represents a distinct version of a character from a separate [[universal stream]], but which precise Megatron the "Blade Silver" toy embodies has not been disclosed. Upon its initial release, this toy was also available in blue (see below), and later redecoed in a black variant as well. It was later redecoed into ''Alternity'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Alternity|Galvatron]].

:[[:File:Alternity Megatron Cannon.jpg|Early concepts]] for ''Alternity'' showed him with the trademark fusion cannon rather than his twin swords, as well as a pronounced Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, "Cybertron Mode" Megatron is a [[redeco]] of the Deluxe Class [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#Generations|''War for Cybertron'' Megatron toy]], transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun. The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration. Megatron's spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm.

:Megatron is cast in a deep dark metallic gray plastic rather than the light gray plastic of the Hasbro version. He also features a blood red metallic paint instead of the more traditional red used on the Hasbro version. Other notable differences include the Decepticon symbol upon his chest as well as lacking paint on the sliding mechanism within his fusion cannon.

:This release of Megatron features an extensive silver paint job, as well as metallic crimson for details.

:Like the 5th and 6th wave figures, Tank Megatron's package feature a sticker that said "limited quantity (数量限定)", indicating that this figure is released in limited numbers after its first and only shipment.

:Like the [[#UniSpecEd|''Universe'' Special Edition figure above]], Tank Megatron features correctly assembled feet. He was originally solicited as "'''Thunder Megatron'''".

*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, 2011)

:Part of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line]]'s "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], this toy is based on Megatron's Generation 1 cartoon appearance (with a little inspiration from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' design around the abdomen), transforming into a variation on Megatron's original gun mode (referred to as a "blaster" on Hasbro's website). As he was part of Reveal the Shield, he has a [[rubsign]] on his chest.

[[File:MP Acid Storm-Chronicle gun Megatron-Pull My Trigger.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.85|To hell with safety!]]
:In a fit of complete awesomeness, the figure is sculpted with notches in its handle that specifically allow the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] mold to grip it. Additionally, the slightly thicker portion of the barrel closer to the main body can be held by the clip included with ''Masterpiece'' Starscream and attach to his jet mode. Unfortunately, Megatron can only be held vertically.

:Despite his tiny size, Hasbro had to cast much of the gun (his arms, the barrel/fusion cannon, and the upper half of his torso) in orange plastic [[for safety reasons]] (Not helped by the fact that [https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-tiniest-cutest-guns-that-shoot-real-bullets-1683682859 functional small guns do exist]). Official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] and early [[prototype|samples]] from China had the orange plastic on the barrel fully painted over in gray, yet the final toy leaves the end of the barrel unpainted.

: While the large brick-built Megatron in this ''[[Kre-O]]'' set is based on the [[Megatron (Movie)|live-action film Megatron]] in his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body, the accompanying Megatron [[Kreon]] is very much a Generation 1 Megatron, at least from the neck down.

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Megatron comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, and his plastics have a slight metal-flake sheen. His "normal" helmet and arm cannon are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms and a wing-pack (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable bazooka, a small pistol (originally [[Cobra Commander]]'s from the ''Kre-O [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' series), a claw-attachment for his wrists, and a double-headed staff weapon.

: The cross-sell advertisement from the back of the packaging features a bizarre error: [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Custom|Soundwave]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Custom|Starscream]] are mislabeled. Soundwave is labeled as Starscream, while Starscream is labeled as Megatron.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "Kreon Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

He also features entirely new face and chest tampographs. So version number four of the same base design.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Kre-O|first-year Starscream kit]] (mostly all the small bits and landing gear), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to make whatever with.

**''Accessories:'' {{w|Katana}}, {{w|:Wakizashi|tanto}}
: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Megatron is an Asian market and Toys"R"Us-exclusive redeco/retool of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]], sporting a new, smiling head. Megatron transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode. He features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. The larger sword has a peghole at the bottom of the hilt; though it is specifically designed to allow the dagger's handle to fit in the base to form a double-bladed weapon, it can also fit any other accessory that uses [[5 mm post]]s. The post used to combine the swords remains unobstructed in vehicle mode, meaning you can attach the dagger to the end of Megatron's main tank cannon if you're feeling silly. He also has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the tantō hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

:The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys. On the plus side, the tank turret can be rotated a full three-hundred sixty degrees, as can the purple machine gun that sits atop the turret.

:Unlike the other uses of this mold, Megatron comes [[Packaging|packaged]] in robot mode holding his swords, with additional plastic and paper ties in the tray imperfectly holding his swords in position. Because they were packaged this way since they were shipped out of the factory, most Megatrons come with the swords being badly bent and warped in the box. Fortunately, the swords' blades can be mostly straightened by leaving them sheathed in their hidden scabbards. Straightening their ''hilts'' is a different matter, though.

:As a redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bludgeon mold, it is highly likely that Megatron is cursed with the same design fault as his brethren - the rubber treads break down over the course of years, causing them to corrode spots of plastic and leave melty gashes behind.

: This version of the mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[#Cloud|Megatron]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)#Toys|Banzaitron]], and differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his [[Fusion cannon#Deluxe|fusion cannon]] (although it's actually designed after the [[rail gun]] this body was equipped with in IDW's comics, but of course Hasbro couldn't call it ''that'' on a toy's packaging). The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. This design was actually taken from an official pitch without Figueroa's permission and with no compensation to the artist, a fact he was rather sore about.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/don-figueroa-designed-idw-s-stealth-bomber-megatron-but-wasn-t-compensated--t96022s0.php "So I read that this was being made into a toy? wow, and I thought only 3rd party companies take stuff without giving any notice, acknowledgement or compensation...

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Two guns (combine to form rifle), missile

:Part of the first wave of 2015 ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Leader Class toys, Megatron transforms from a robot heavily inspired by his Generation 1 animation model into a tank featuring working treads. He includes a sticker sheet featuring two each of Decepticon and Autobot [[insignia]] (the latter in reference to IDW's ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''), plus stickers intended to replicate those on the original Megatron toy's chest and fusion cannon. Megatron also comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. His box-back bio bears a superficial similarity to our wiki's article on [[Megatron (WFC)|another Megatron]]. He features a spark chamber hatch which is sculpted in likeness to the one seen in "[[Master Blaster]]". In a feature that goes undocumented in Megatron's instructions, his two guns can store underneath the rear of his alternate mode. Although the website description & the package billed the transformation as "15 steps", the toy actually has ''10'' steps.

:Although the toy is depicted in robot mode shots as positioning the cannon with the missile-firing tip forward, it can be flipped around on a pinned swivel to better resemble the classic-styled fusion cannon, although this causes some clearance issues with the arm itself due to the fact the pinned swivel means the cannon cannot be physically removed. Megatron's knee articulation is also greatly restricted, which combined with his lack of ankle joints can make getting him to stand up quite difficult, let alone posing him.

:Select aspects of this design, such as the leg-mounted treads, the general transformation sequence and the tank alt-mode, were used to represent G1 Megatron in ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''. The toy meanwhile was retooled into [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Generations|''Armada'' Megatron]], which was released at the same time.

He also comes with [[Spacewarp#Generations|Spacewarp]] (a redeco of [[Blast Master#Generations|''Thrilling 30'' Payload]]) and his Pretender shell, which is redecoed from [[Grand Maximus#Toys|Grand Maximus]]'s. Double Pretender Megatron also comes with a joint piece for Spacewarp to let her fit in the shell along with Megatron. This joint piece is sculpted to resemble the large chromed laser cannon that the original G1 Megatron toy came with. His Pretender shell weapons are black repaints of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Generations|Sentinel Prime]]'s rifle and Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#TRVoyager|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Laser Rod (weapon)#Generations|sword]].

*'''Doomshot & Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, Rifle, Doomshot Titan Master

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to tank to plane reminiscent of his [[#Machine Wars|''Machine Wars'' counterpart]] and back. Megatron comes with [[Doomshot#Toys|Doomshot]], a [[Titan Master]] who becomes his head. The G1 toy-accurate 'scrollwork' details on his chest and all Decepticon insignias (on his robot mode chest, jet nosecone, and tank tread cowling) are chrome-backed, factory-applied, low-quality stickers which are notoriously prone to peeling off at the slightest disturbance. As their chrome-backed nature clashes heavily with Megatron's otherwise unpainted torso, replacing them is recommended. His wing stickers are similarly metallic, but appear to adhere better and clash less with the figure's overall aesthetic.

:The fusion cannon is shown in stock renders to be solid black, while the final one is light grey plastic dipped in black paint with the posts left bare. His dark-grey plastic is nowhere near as dark as the stock renders shows, though it is still darker than the light-grey plastic.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. While it initially looks like his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement on Megatron's neck, there is in fact one hidden under the grey parts that form his robot mode collar that allow the missile racks and the Titan Master port to turn in either direction.<ref name="neck">[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/titans-return-voyager-megatron-and-doomshot.1092333/page-18#post-14975031 Detailed look on TFW2005.com]</ref> Due to the nature of his transformation it is possible to transform Megatron into tank mode without removing his head, though this leaves it completely exposed at the back of the tank.

:His fusion cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Titan Master vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the fusion cannon. The fusion cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place. The tank cannon on his turret, while held in ''very'' hard by a pair of ridges and a 5mm post, can also be removed; it can be pegged in by its 5mm post barrel onto a peghole in Megatron's shoulder to recreate G1 Megatron's classic shoulder barrel.

:The instructions for robot-to-tank transformation suggest that you move his robot mode chestplate downwards into the collapsed jet position. It appears to have a clearance issue, with the chest protruding too far; leaving it in robot mode position will ensure there are no clearance issues. However, the chest ''can'' be made to fit better by putting it into position before transforming the treads, preventing the tread panels from getting in the way. Also in some copies of the toy, Megatron's left and right leg panels will randomly pop and stick out. This is especially prominent in tank and jet mode.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was retooled into [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blitzwing]], and redecoed into ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Street Fighter II × Transformers|Megatron]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Vega#Toys|Vega]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>. Megatron would have been redecoed/retooled into [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] with a new Titan Master face for Doomshot as part of the "Action on Hydrus Four" boxset for BotCon 2017 that never came to be.

===Platinum Edition===

*'''One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall''' (2-pack, 2016)
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Megatron is another redeco of the ''Classics'' Voyager toy. Megatron features a new and significantly different deco for the sake of [[for safety reasons|gun safety laws]]. The sides of his gun mode are entirely cast in clear red plastic, his arms are a different shade of red plastic and there is red paint on the legs as well–in addition to the bright orange parts on both the tip of the barrel and the scope, just like the ''Classics'' figure. Whether by design or by accident, his deco strongly resembles the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Nerf]] "[[wikia:nerf:Sonic FIRE|Sonic Fire]]" color scheme.

:''Platinum Edition'' Megatron was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#StandFall|Optimus Prime]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores). Surprisingly, it was (and still is) a common find in Brazilian online stores.

**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 30]], [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories:'' "D50-R35 Fusion Cannon", "HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher" (combines to form "NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher")
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Megatron transforms from a G1 cartoon-esque robot to a <s>grizzly battle tank from the ''Command & Conquer'' series</s> Cybertronian tank and back! Megatron's robot mode is pretty accurate to the original cartoon, despite having a completely different altmode. He is armed with 2 weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], one of which is his trademark [[fusion cannon]] called the "D50-R35 Fusion Cannon". The other is the "HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher," with two symmetrical blades facing the opposite direction, and can transform into a large sword resembling the sword included in the Takara release of the [[#Generation 1|original G1 toy]] and can be stored on his back. It can also be mounted on his back to resemble the gun barrel on the original cartoon model's back. Both can combine into the insanely large "NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher," which is meant to be held in his hands or over his head. Like his contemporaries in the ''Siege'' toyline, Megatron features 'battle damage' paint applications all over his head, chest, arms, and legs.

:[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-S-Voyager-Megatron-with-Soundwave's-Gun.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Does this mean I'll turn back into a blaster?"]]
:Due to the way Megatron transforms, it's possible to rotate the turret 180 degrees and use the fusion cannon solely as the tank barrel, in the event one should lose the "Laserstrike Launcher" piece; while not as aesthetically pleasing as the intended transformation, it still works.

:Megatron also suffers a slight design flaw: unlike with the left ankle, the right ankle's pivoting joint has a tendency to not lock back to its straight position once it is unlocked. The only way to amend this is by pressing the top end of the black plastic peg on the right foot. The light grey backpack/central front tank kibble also has a tendency to dislodge if his waist is moved left or right. Due to the Fusion Cannon's slightly longer post, the hand's dorsal panel slightly protrudes when in tank mode. [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundwave]]'s additional gun can be slotted onto the back of the figure, perfectly mimicking his G1 gun barrel placement. Whether this was intentional or not is unclear.

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Megatron's box art, which reads "RISE FROM THE SHADOWS". Megatron's pose in the instruction manual's front cover is based on the [[:File:Megatronguido.jpg|promotional artwork]] by [[Guido Guidi]].

:Amusingly, the first TakaraTomy (and later, Hasbro's secondary) stock photos of his robot mode depict him wielding the fusion cannon like a handheld weapon.

:Megatron is a notorious shelfwarmer, particularly in Asia, often unsold in large numbers.

:This mold was redecoed and retooled into multiple different Megatrons below.

*'''Megatron''' (Battle Upgrade, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Backpack, spring-loaded cannon, missile, blaster, energy flail, 2 blaster-pods, "Skywarp" right forearm

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Megatron is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His design is mostly based on Generation 1 Megatron, but with angles and styling very evocative of ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: While he is (roughly) the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his "energy flail" piece. His ''massive'' "fusion cannon" piece is a spring-loaded missile launcher. He also comes with [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Skywarp]]'s right forearm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Starscream]]'s.

*'''Megatron''' ([[May 29]], [[2014]])
**''ID number:'' '''TFC-D01'''
**''Accessories:'' "Fusion Blade" sword, "Deception Sword" dagger

: Megatron is a silver, red and black [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GenerationsVoyager|Megatron]], itself a [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]] with a new head. He transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode and features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. Additionally, the dagger's handle can fit in the base of the sword's handle, forming a double-bladed weapon. He has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the dagger hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

: The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys.

: As a redeco of his ''Generations'' counterpart, it is highly likely that Megatron is cursed with the same design fault as his brethren - the rubber treads break down over the course of years, causing them to corrode spots of plastic and leave melty gashes behind.

: Megatron was available exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

: The original version of this mold was redecoed into ''Transformers: [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], and it was differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is taken from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Megatron/Chop Shop two-pack's packaging and half-heartedly recolored–ignoring the black and yellow safety striping from the design the art was originally made for–to match the broad strokes of this figure's deco.

:In the United States, Megatron has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores.

: Released under the "TakaraTomy Arts" banner alongside a [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Optimus Prime featuring Original PlayStation|Sony PlayStation version of Optimus Prime]] and outside of any other toyline, Mega Drive Megatron transforms from robot to a scaled-down Japanese [[Sega]] {{w|Sega Genesis|Mega Drive}} video game console–which ironically is about the size of a real-life Mega Drive cartridge. He comes with a gamepad that features pushable buttons which splits in two and attaches to his back like a pair of wings, while the left side of the console detaches and transforms into an arm-mounted cannon attached to his back via the gamepad's cord. He also includes a cartridge depicting the Japanese release of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' that slots into the console/his chest.

: This figure includes what is most likely the smallest accessory to ever be included with a Transformers toy; a small cap that covers the hole left if one does not insert the gamepad into the console mode. The piece is sculpted to resemble an open slot for a gamepad and is a teensy bit ''smaller'' than even the fist parts for a ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]].

In addition to the changes to the console, the red on Megatron's robot mode has been replaced with purple, and the art on the ''Sonic'' cartridge has been changed to match its American release. Even the packaging is changed to evoke Genesis packaging, right down to featuring (awkwardly translated) English text on the back. This version of Megatron is a TakaraTomy Arts online store exclusive.

: Curiously, the promotional pictures of Sega Genesis Megatron appear to show the retooled "16-Bit" panel molded to read "1'''5'''-Bit", but the final release has it correctly molded.

*'''Decepticon Megatron''' (5-inch, 2017)
:*''Accessories:'' Tank barrel
:''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' "Decepticon Megatron" is a new mold the size of a 2015 [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Mini-Con Battle Packs|''Robots in Disguise'' Battle Pack]] toy. He changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a tank in just six steps, and he comes with a tank barrel that doubles as his fusion cannon, and he features two 5mm-compatible hands, and his head is made out of a slightly soft, rubbery plastic. Like [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Authentics|Starscream]], he actually possesses elbows. And like all ''Authentics'' toys, Megatron features sculpted insignias, notably on the chest and the right sole.

:Unfortunately, Megatron does not have any functional small wheels on his painted treads, making them prone to chipping while attempting to roll him forward. Also; the forearms and the cannon's posts are ''not'' 5mm/3mm compatible.

:Part of the second wave of Authentics 7-inch toys, This Megatron is functionally an upsized copy of the 5-inch toy above, though with several modifications like the reversed chest, rotating waist, and flip-out chest panel with a head-tucking gimmick, which allows him to transform into vehicle mode from the front view. He also features functional small wheels for the treads.

:This Megatron is an all-new Titan Hero-sized mold, utilizing a different transformation scheme compared to his previous Authentics figures. The Fusion cannon can be mounted on either arm or held in either fist via a 5 mm post. Like most Titan Changers, he only features articulation in his shoulders.

:This figure was primarily only available in dollar stores like Family Dollar and similar chains.

==Street Fighter II × Transformers==
[[File:TF-X-Street-Fighter-Vega-(M.-Bison).jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|YES! '''YES!''']]
*'''Convoy [Ryu] vs Megatron [Vega]''' ([[May 26]], [[2018]])
**''Accessories'': Cannon, rifle, Headmaster
:Part of the Japan-exclusive ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' toyline, Megatron is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' Voyager Class [[#Titans Return|Megatron]] in [[Vega]]'s traditional colors, fleshy bits and all. He transforms from robot to tank to fighter jet (both of made-up model), complete with [[Shadaloo]] [[insignia]]. The smaller [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] unit's robot mode is also painted to resemble Vega.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. However, those parts heavily restrict his neck articulation when deployed; unlike many others in his size class, his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Vega into tank mode without removing his head.

:His cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Headmaster vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the cannon. The cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.

:Vega was only available in a two-pack with with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Street Fighter II × Transformers|Convoy]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Ryu#Toys|Ryu]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>. This set was available for pre-order on [[TakaraTomy Mall]] from [[November 22]] to [[November 27|27]], with orders fulfilled in late May 2018. A pre-order goal was set as well: if 3000 units were pre-ordered total, the set would also come with clear display stands for both toys.

==Notes==
[[File:MicroChangeGunRoboWalther.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|[[Megaplex]] Black Version?]]
[[File:Skywarpatron.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Skywarp really DID need close supervision.]]
[[File:UnmadeVideoCameraMegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85]]
*To date, an exact copy of the black ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' Walther P-38 toy has not been reissued as a Transformer–the e-HOBBY version replaced the blue plastic with red and some of the black plastic parts with silver chrome.
*It seems that no one could get Megatron's [[package art]] right in Japan. His standard release used edited box art from the standard Microchange P-38 toy's black deco, recolored to Megatron's US toy color scheme with shiny "chrome" and red on his legs and arms instead of the Japanese toy's flat gray and blue. The VS-X art replaced the red with blue, but kept the "chrome". The art on the "Goodbye Megatron" set used edited US box art (which in turn was the Microchange P-38 UNCLE art with an added sigil) that replaced the red with blue, yet this toy used red plastic.
*In a possible fit of madness, a triple changer was proposed that would switch between [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] (possibly mistaken for Starscream), Megatron, and Skywarp's jet mode.
*In a slightly more sane attempt, [[:File:Megalvatron.jpg|another triple changer]] was proposed which would switch between Megatron, a very awkward [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]], and a Walther P-38 handgun with a futuristic silencer and laser sight.
*A kitbashed/hand-painted mock-up of the large ''Generation 2'' tank Megatron mold as a video camcorder is known to exist. Whether it was ever meant to be taken into production and whether it was meant to be Megatron or a new character is unknown. It was originally offered for sale in [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/4f98fe3d58bfe696/b1d0163d38587281?q=ramjet+whiz+bang+toys&pli=1 October of 2000] from Whiz Bang Collectibles, along with other items seemingly from a former Hasbro employee's collection.<ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Prototypes/Generation2/MegatronVideoCameraMock1.html Megatron Video Camera at Toyarchive.com]</ref>

{{disambig3|Frenzy}}
:''Frenzy is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Transformers]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Movie frenzy.png|right|300px|thumb|"They are all laser-guided and I get CRAZY if you touch them!"]]
'''Frenzy''' is small, sneaky, skittering and single-minded. His hyper-active twitching and lightning-speed gibbering in [[Cybertronian language|his own tongue]] belie incredible espionage and sabotage skills, but it is in causing chaos and carnage that Frenzy truly excels. This creepy little abomination is the best there is at what he does, and approaches his tasks with a level of sinister glee that make it hard to deter him from a course of action once he has settled upon it.

Frenzy is exceptionally hard to kill, due to the fact that he possesses a de-centralized, modular nervous system. In essence it means that even if he suffers critical injuries—such as getting his head severed, which seems to be a not-infrequent problem for him—he can continue to function. In addition to this, he is equipped with a hyper-reactive [[trans-scan]]ning and reformatting system that allows him to totally reconfigure his alternate mode with ridiculous speed, meaning that he can be something one minute, and something completely different the next. Although this is something which he does regularly anyway, it also works regardless of what state of disrepair he may be in, making it quite the challenge to keep track of him.<ref>Frenzy's profile in [[Transformers Comic issue 7]], which was re-worked from his entry in ''[[Transformers: The Movie Guide]]''. Unsurprisingly, it dropped that book's bizarre claim that Frenzy was "quiet" and "not very talkative".</ref>

==Fiction==
===Movies===
====''Transformers'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Reno Wilson]] (English)|[[Zhang Yaohan]] (Chinese)}}

[[Image:Readingisfundamental.jpg|left|180px|thumb|This is the only newspaper in the country that is not afraid to tell the truth: that everything is just fine.]]

A skittering little weirdo, Frenzy smuggled himself aboard [[Air Force One]] disguised as a CD player boom-box. He made his way to the lower decks, carried by an [[Tracy|unsuspecting flight attendant]] who was on a vital mission to the storage area to "wrangle up some Ding-Dongs" for the [[President of the United States|President]]. Once left alone, he got into the server area and began to work his magic, simultaneously hacking the national database and uploading a virus, re-attempting the hack that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] had tried at the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base|SOCCENT Base]] in [[Qatar]] earlier. This attempt was discovered by government agent [[Maggie Madsen]], and the defense network was shut down in order to halt the hack. Frenzy was so pissed he slammed his head into the screen, but he'd managed to finish uploading the virus, which would later shut down global communications, and got a little bit of info on what he was looking for.

[[Image:Frenzy armed.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Not someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley...or a well-lit one, for that matter.]]

He was discovered by Secret Service agents, whom he quickly dispatched with his disc-blade launcher before hiding away in boom-box form again. When Air Force One landed, he escaped through the landing gear, slipping into the awaiting Decepticon [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. (Real good job keeping an eye out, Secret Service.) After [[:Image:Frenzy_movie_bird.JPG|flipping the military the bird]] and bitching about how the "stupid insects" shot at him, he informed Barricade of his new discovery: [[Archibald Witwicky|the Witwicky man]] who had suspiciously displayed knowledge of Cybertronian writing. After a quick [[Yahoo]] web search using Barricade's on-board police department laptop, Frenzy determined their next target...a human called "[[Sam Witwicky|LadiesMan217]]" who was in possession of the Witwicky man's glasses, which in turn could lead them to the <s>Precious</s> [[AllSpark]].

When Barricade was forced to go to robot mode in order to handle [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he released Frenzy to chase the humans the [[Autobot]] was guarding. Frenzy tackled his primary target and even managed to get his pants off (Kinky!), but [[Mikaela Banes|the female human]] attacked him with a reciprocating saw she'd found and cut off his head. To add insult to injury, LadiesMan217 punted the Decepticon's head away. It was actually to Frenzy's benefit, however, as he landed not too far from the female's purse, which had spilled when Bumblebee had dumped them out earlier. Still alive and ambulatory despite losing most of his body mass, he speared and scanned the female's cell phone, changed his form to match it, and hid out in her purse.

[[Image:Frenzy head.JPG|left|200px|thumb|"What is it, Frenzy?" "STARSCREAM! SEND REINFORCEMENTS! I'M UNDER ATTACK BY AQUATIC LIFEFO—" *Starscream terminates the link*]]

Frenzy stayed hidden, watching the activities of the humans, including their meeting with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot]]s. Taken to LadiesMan217's house, Frenzy poked his head out to better observe, but was frightened by some {{w|Goldfish|aquatic lifeforms}} LadiesMan217 had. Frenzy poked one of his optics out when the glasses were discovered, but remained hidden during the subsequent encounter with [[Sector Seven]]. Arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Frenzy slipped away...and fell off the side of the dam, landing painfully at the bottom. This allowed him to sneak into the secret Sector Seven operations hangar deep within the dam, where both the AllSpark and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had been kept for nearly a hundred years. Tapping into the AllSpark's power, he restored his body, then sent a message to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were here. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy set about the task of releasing his master. He went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed, while Starscream destroyed the power lines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.

[[Image:Frenzycomputer2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|im in ur Sector 7, thawin ur N.B.E.-01]]

As Megatron and Starscream went to assist the rest of the Decepticons in securing the AllSpark, Frenzy remained at the dam to tie up any loose ends. When [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], Maggie and [[Glen Whitmann]] ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy made it into the room via the air ducts and fought the humans with his machine guns and [[shuriken|flying blades]]. One blade, however, ricocheted madly across the room, and took out most of Frenzy's head. With a muttered "oh shit," Frenzy collapsed. {{storylink|Transformers (film)}}

{{note|Frenzy's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers (novel)|Transformers]]," "[[Transformers: The Junior Novel]]" and "[[The Quest for the AllSpark]]"; the "[[Transformers: Movie Adaptation]]" and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; the activity book "[[Look and Find Transformers]]"; and the storybooks "[[Bumblebee Rumble]]," "[[Optimus Prime Versus Megatron]]," "[[Meet the Decepticons]]," and "[[Transformers: The Movie Storybook]]."}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
[[Image:ROTF Frenzy head.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Frenzy's attempts to become a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] have gone horribly wrong.]]
Seymour Simmons kept Frenzy's head with his secret stash of stolen Sector Seven material in the basement below his mother's deli. [[Leo Spitz]] reached out to touch it, but Simmons shooed him away, saying it was still radioactive. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
{{-}}

===Novels===
====''Ghosts of Yesterday''====
Frenzy was a member of the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis']]'' crew in 1969, when it encountered the human space ship ''[[Ghost 1]]''. He suggested that the ship's obvious Cybertronian influences might be a clue to [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s whereabouts, though [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] was skeptical. Frenzy joined [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in an attack on the Autobot ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' when they found it, against Starscream's wishes. His attempt at a sneak attack from behind on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was met with a sturdy punch, and then he had Blackout thrown at him. Blackout subsequently called a retreat. After Optimus left the ''Ark'' on a mission, the Decepticons tried their luck again, and during the space-borne battle, Frenzy and Blackout double-teamed [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]].

When Starscream returned to the Decepticons, but was evasive about what had happened and whether the ''Ghost 1'' crew knew where Megatron was, Frenzy and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] were spectators as he fought with Blackout over the matter. Following Blackout's loss, Frenzy reaffirmed his loyalty to Starscream. They engaged the Autobots in combat again afterwards, and Jazz made swift work of putting Frenzy out of commission, despite the Autobot still being weakened from the earlier fight. Frenzy was presumably retrieved during the later Decepticon retreat. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

====''The Veiled Threat''====
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Simmons rigged Frenzy's head up to some wires in the hopes of tapping his brain for clues on how to deal with the Transformers. Of course, Frenzy did not appreciate either Simmons's probing or his helplessness, though he remained confident that one of his fellow Decepticons would free him at some point. When he finally started talking, Simmons tried to get him lucid enough to answer questions, but instead Frenzy attempted to reach a nearby electrical transformer and caused a power surge in the apartment building's wiring. Simmons unplugged Frenzy, but the disaster resulted in him having to move his work to the basement of his mother's deli. There Simmons managed to get more information out of Frenzy, but nothing useful. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Frenzydefiance3.jpeg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
Millenia ago on Cybertron, while Optimus and his team were being led away, Frenzy spied upon and relayed their coordinates to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who intended to ambush the group and kill all bar Optimus, as ''Lord'' Megatron intended to deal with the ''traitor'' personally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

[[File:FrenzyremainsRoSS2.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.5|left]]
After Megatron was killed and the AllSpark destroyed, Starscream returned to the freeway to seek out Barricade, perhaps the only other surviving Decepticon on Earth. When informed that Frenzy had stolen all of Sector Seven's files on their race and most importantly, the AllSpark, Starscream realised that he must secure Frenzy's remains if he were to save all of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

[[File:Simmonsgrabsfrenzyheadalliance3.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.5]]
During Starscream's second attack on Hoover Dam, Sector Seven scientists were moving Frenzy's remains from the alien archives room in which he had been deactivated. Suddenly, Starscream smashed his way in, demanding the humans turn over his compatriot to him, with which they complied. Later, after Starscream returned to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], he ordered [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] hook Frenzy up to their ship's computer. The retrieved data revealed the source of a lot of Sector Seven's knowledge regarding Transformers as coming from the resurrected [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} With the knowledge contained within Frenzy, Starscream was able to build a new AllSpark, though it didn't pan out exactly as he had planned. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}
A month later, when Starscream returned to get his revenge, Wreckage tore at the Decepticon, and Frenzy's body fell out. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} [[Seymour Simmons]] secretly took the head for himself. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

Frenzy's head injuries failed to kill him and he remains on guard at the former [[Sector Seven]] base. He also has learnt English, seemingly only so he can threaten you with a messy death.

When [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] tried to free Optimus from the former Sector Seven base, Frenzy began stalking the human. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} His attempt to shoot her in the back failed, and she declared she'd take him out for good this time. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} She wasn't able to land a blow on him but she had the mental advantage, tricking him into shattering a liquid nitrogen tank and freezing himself to death.

After being pursued by [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], Barricade and Frenzy broke into a secure facility to steal [[NEST]] access codes. Frenzy hacked into the computer, only to be grabbed by Sideswipe, balled up and rolled along the floor to Barricade, who picked him up. Frenzy tried to loudly warn his partner of the Autobot's presence. Barricade threw Frenzy at Sideswipe, who batted the tiny Decepticon back. Kicked around the floor during the subsequent struggle, Frenzy continued jabbering, and gave Barricade the suggestion which allowed him to defeat Sideswipe. The access codes obtained, Barricade carried Frenzy away. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 6}}

==Games==
===''Transformers'' The Game===
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Frenzy was seen digging through the mangled and twitching chassis of a dead Autobot. It's unlikely he was digging through it to find the AllSpark. Megatron nearly crushed him under his foot. It is entirely possible that he was annoyed with Frenzy.

Frenzy arrived in Tranquility to meet up with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], possessing information that Starscream said was vital. When Barricade attempted to link up with him, he discovered that Frenzy had been captured by [[Sector Seven|some armed humans]]. Frenzy was held captive in a small SUV (which seemed virtually indestructible) but Barricade eventually rescued him. Barricade later relayed to Starscream that Frenzy had discovered a lead on the AllSpark and Megatron...an artifact in the possession of a human named Sam.

Later, he served as Starscream's intelligence liaison when the Decepticon's Acting-Commander was searching for [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], jabbering away in his own language. (A translation is NOT subtitled directly, with Frenzy being the only character to NOT speak English in the game. He just wants to be different...or annoying.) {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

Frenzy was seen digging through the remains of another Transformer. Megatron nearly stepped on him, but he scurried away. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons}}

In Frenzy's first mission on Earth, he and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] searched for the [[glasses]]. They attacked the Autobots, but got a massive whupping by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. Then, he assaulted [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later he participated in [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s attack on the [[Hoover Dam]]. Finally, he and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] took on [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] but were defeated. Whether Jazz killed him as he did Brawl remains unknown. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game}}

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[File:Mov-toy Frenzy FAB.jpg|right|upright=1.66|thumb|Stupid insects made me look fat.]]
*'''Disc Blast Decepticon Frenzy''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Launching disc

: Released in the third wave of [[Fast Action Battlers]] toys, "Disc Blast" Frenzy transforms into a two-speaker stereo CD/cassette/radio, with "Frenzy 97.7" on the small painted screen and two [[Decepticon]] [[insignia]]s on his radio mode, with one being ''sideways'' due to being used for robot mode. His posable antenna is made of soft plastic and is mounted via [[ball joint]] and socket, although the angle that the antenna is molded at prevents it from straightening up in radio mode. In both modes, he can launch a disk (sculpted to resemble his bladed shuriken-things) from his chest/stereo-mode CD slot via pressure-launch when a button on his back is pressed; in robot mode, this button is pressed by pushing in a large chunk of radio which then pushes the normal button.

: Despite Fast Action Battlers being a simpler toyline for younger children, Frenzy is fairly complicated to transform, with his limbs needing to fold up and stack in a certain order to allow clearance for half his mass to flip around into the intended mode.

: Frenzy is obviously fairly inaccurate to the CGI model due to actually having to turn ''into'' something specific (which the CGI model was not actually designed to do), having massive amounts of bulky [[kibble]]. It is also completely off-model to the movie radio, which is probably due to the figure having been designed before the character's final alt mode was determined.

*'''Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

: The [[Robot Replicas]] non-Transforming action figure of Frenzy is considerably closer to the movie's CGI model, even having blue optics rather than the red of most of his other toys. His left forearm can be replaced with an alternate forearm in its machinegun configuration.

: Frenzy is unique among the Robot Replicas in a couple of ways. First, he is the only one that does ''not'' use the [[Revoltech]]-style joints, owing likely to the thinness of his limbs. Secondly, he is the only one with an "action feature" gimmick of sorts; he comes with a CD-blade accessory that stores in his chest, and pushing a button on his back pops it out. The disc does not shoot very far though, unless you really give the button a firm, swift whack, and even then, you're not gonna get much airtime on it.

*'''First Encounter''' (Screen Battles, 2007)

: This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure The only real difference is the Frenzy mini-figure, which is now cast entirely in black plastic, sports ''no'' paint applications and is supposed to be stuck permanently inside Barricade's chest thanks to a new, additional piece of plastic (as a matter of fact, the Frenzy figure is also neither advertised on the packaging nor depicted in the instructions). The only way to free him is to remove all four screws from Barricade's undercarriage, then pry the halves of the car apart and slip Frenzy (and his plastic blockade) out quickly.

:The pack also comes with unposeable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, a semi-in-scale Frenzy, and Mikaela holding the reciprocating saw she uses to attack him. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee. So even though this pack ''technically'' contains ''two'' Frenzy figures, Hasbro put a lot of effort into neutering one of them as good as they could.

:This only applies to the Hasbro version. However, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the pack features a Barricade that is identical to the single pack version, including an easily removable Frenzy figurine cast in grey plastic with painted red eyes.

:This figure was first revealed during Hasbro's panel at [[BotCon 2009]] and comes with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. Frenzy is the same size as the other Human Alliance 'assist' figures, but being 4-4½ft tall, is much closer to being on scale with his partner. He has articulation in the neck, shoulders, waist, hips and knees, but the more common red eyes instead of the movie-accurate blue. Frenzy can sit in either of Barricade's seats in vehicle mode (the right of which can become a gun mount on his shoulder), he can stand behind Barricade's head, and can fold up to be stored inside a cavity in Barricade's chest in either mode.

*'''Autobot Jazz vs. Decepticon Frenzy''' (2007)

: Released with ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], this version of Frenzy is the most adorably goofy razor blade death robot you ever saw. For some reason he is colored a dark tan, perhaps to offer some color contrast to his pack-in partner. Like the other first wave movie Decepticons, his design was tweaked to be much more human and less monstrous. He only has two (red) eyes, and he has a wide toothy grin in the middle of his mandibles. His articulation is limited to the shoulders, however his head DOES have limited wiggle room on its own joint.

==Notes==
* An early version of the script featured [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and Frenzy as one and the same character, named "[[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]". He would have infiltrated the CIA headquarters (rather than Air Force One) in the form of a "portable stereo" and then transformed (and size-shifted) into a Humvee for his escape.<ref name="early">Details from an early script draft [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2213120&postcount=297 summed up here], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2214148&postcount=303 confirmed as authentic by Roberto Orci here].</ref>
*Frenzy had three working names; '''Boombot''' was first, '''Soundwave''' was second, and '''Soundbyte''' was third.
*Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie with blue optic lighting, though most of his released toys have them painted red. It's possible this was a late-ish change, as even the [[Transformers (Glu)|mobile game]] has him sporting red optics.
*Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie whose whole robot mode was created as a real physical puppet for filming, used in certain shots aboard Air Force One (they did make the lower half of frozen Megatron as a set piece, plus [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s head and tail, but that's not quite the same thing). He and Bumblebee are the only Transformers in the film to have full-body robot mode props.
*Extra pieces of the Frenzy puppet, specifically some fingers, were used to make the charred prop of the "dead" [[Nokia-bot]].
*Frenzy (or at very least, a robot who looked ''just'' like him) was most certainly ''not'' in a cage in the back of the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. You were seeing things! It was swamp gas! No, wait—a weather balloon! But definitely ''not'' a robot alien from outer space!
[[Image:Frenzystereo.jpg|right|150px|thumb|According to user reviews, Frenzy is terrible for XM.]]
*Frenzy's robot mode was designed without an exact alternate mode in mind. It was known he was going to be a boom-box, but the designers had to produce a robot mode before the make/model was finalized.
*Frenzy transforms into a real on-the-market GPX portable stereo boombox... in the movie, at least. You know you want one. (His [[Fast Action Battlers]] toy, and various storybooks, depict him as made-up stereo models.)
*Frenzy's dialogue includes some actual English: "Witwicky", "ladiesman217", "Go, go, go!", "Surprise!", "Where is it?!(X2), "Yes(X5), Megatron(X3)!", "Oh! Megatron melting." and the ever-famous "Oh shit." The rest is all Cybertronian, which according to Michael Bay, is primarily rapidly-spoken Tutankhamen.
[[Image:Moviefrenzy blade.jpg|right|170px|thumb|Doesn't look like a CD. Maybe it's one of those new-fangled Blu-ray disks?]]
*Frenzy's blades, before unfolding, are disguised as CDs. Granted, most CDs don't have hinge points near their center.
*According to his profile card, Frenzy weighs 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds). How much of that mass would be discernible to a human lifting his stereo mode remains unclear. However, a human did indeed carry his stereo mode without much effort in the movie.
*A picture of Frenzy appears on the screen of [[Photon T-34]]. Judging from his pose and the readouts on the screen, Photon did something to slag him off.
*In 2011, Frenzy was revealed to be a [[Mini-Con|Minicon]] on Hasbro's website.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/characters/frenzy Frenzy's profile in the Vector Sigma Data Tracks]</ref>
*Although the Hungarian dubbing of the movie, at least according to cast lists revealed on-line prior to the dub's release, had a voice actor attached to Frenzy, he never spoke in this language in the dub. His few intelligible lines were either left in English, or outright omitted. The Czech version also neglected to dub his lines. This is strange, since in the movie's subtitled theatrical run, these bits actually were translated, yet the dubs (which were produced for the later DVD release), somehow missed them.
*Hints of Frenzy's presence at the N.E.S.T. base attack in [[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]] are seen in the form of his razor discs scattered throughout the walls and ceiling at the end of the ride.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Frenzy''' (フレンジー ''Furenjī'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Jí Fēng''' (Taiwan, 疾瘋, roughly "Frenzy", lit. "Sick and Crazy" or "Fast and Crazy"), '''Míluàn''' (Mainland China, 迷乱, "Frenzy")
*''Hungarian:'' '''Tomboló''' ("Ravager")

5 mm post

2020-11-19T09:01:01Z

Nullwave:

[[File:5mmpostmainpic 001.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Weapons for everybody!]]
One of the simplest innovations in [[toy|Transformers toys]], using universally sized posts for accessories, weapons and figures is something that has characterised several Transformers lines throughout the years. The most common universal post and port size is the '''5 millimetre (5 mm) post'''. This size was used throughout [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', and almost universally throughout ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'', ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'', and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]''.

Using a single, universal size of weapon post allows Transformers toys to swap weapons between one another. During most Transformers toy lines, this interchangeability was seldom advertised as a feature of the toys, but during ''Armada'', that changed. The introduction of the [[Mini-Con]]s gave 5 mm posts an entirely new purpose: A hollow 5 mm post could now become a mounting point for a Mini-Con. The interchangeability suddenly became an advertised feature of the toys.

The 5 mm post has become pretty ubiquitous in ''Transformers'' toy design, with only a few lines (mainly the [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|2007 live-action movie]] and ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'') favoring less-interchangeable systems.

==Functionality==
===Backwards compatibility===
[[File:Primesharingguns.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"Dude, you're right. Guns with their posts in the right place '''rock!'''"]]
Probably the biggest, most meaningful aspect of using a universal fist size is compatibility between toys. You can share your accessories or Mini-Cons or even some integral parts of toys around to other toys from the same line. Even better for long-term fans of the franchise is that the continuous use of 5 mm posts from Generation 1 onwards into modern lines means that toys are actually backwards-compatible with the accessories from older toys. As well as delightful opportunities for mixing and matching, this means that characters who get new toys can use accessories from their old toys. Even if you don't like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|"Classics" Optimus Prime's]] rifle, you can always just give him [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime's]] rifle, or [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Star Convoy's]].

This compatibility works both ways, allowing you to use ''Armada'', ''Energon'' and even Power Core Combiners weapons with old [[Micromaster]] Bases or [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s toys.

{{-}}
===A matter of tolerance===
Despite the fact that 5 mm posts are supposed to be universally the same size, this isn't always the case. Sometimes, due to play wear or simply to slight (very slight) differences in tooling, some posts are tighter or looser than others. This can mean that sometimes a toy will hold a gun loosely, or that a weapon will be too tight to fit into another toy's hand.

Generally, this is only a problem on toys or toolings that have seen a lot of use. A Generation 1 toy like [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Soundwave]] that was produced for several years and re-released many times might actually show a difference in tolerance between different samples of the toy. Similarly, toolings which see a lot of use, such as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics|"Classics" Starscream]], can begin to show mould wear. There are many reports of later ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' versions of the mould not being able to hold their weapons correctly because tolerances are poor. There are several recommended actions for fixing loose sockets, such as floor polish.

If a toy sees a lot of play, especially if weapons are being removed and replaced repeatedly, a hole (or sometimes a post) can wear down, making the weapons looser. It's possible to increase this problem while swapping weapons between different toys. If a gun post from a [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Pretender|Pretender Bumblebee]] is slightly smaller than the post from [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Pretender|Pretender Grimlock]], then Grimlock's gun might actually ''stretch'' Bumblebee's fists. This could result in Bumblebee no longer being able to hold his own gun firmly. It's advisable when swapping guns between different toys to be aware of the slight differences in tolerances between toys.

Additionally, different ports and posts on the ''same'' toy may have different tolerances. Sometimes this is to prevent accessories from being inserted somewhere that could result in damage, such as [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Shockwave's Leader-class ''Siege'' figure]]; the post on the end of his hose is slightly bigger than most of his ports, except for the ones that are pointed out in the instructions for transformation. However, other times it appears to be a mistake - the same figure has difficulty plugging in accessories from other figures such as Weaponizer parts due to the ports being shrunk to prevent the hose from being inserted somewhere it could be potentially overextended.

===Multiple posts and double posting===
[[File:Swindlerifle doublepostdemo.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"Pssst—hey, bud!" "WHO, ME?!" "Shhhhhh!" "Who, me?" "Riiiiiiiiight."]]
Some Transformers toys come with multiple figures, such as a [[Pretender]] shell and its inner robot. Other toys are small and merge with bigger toys to become still larger. Other toys come with a trailer or base which has larger weapons than the core robot. Because of the size difference between the two components, two different weapon post sizes are required.

The early Pretenders usually handle this by simply giving the gun two different posts: a larger 5 mm post for the outer shell, and a smaller post for the inner robot. The result is that the two figures hold the same gun in different ways. For the purposes of this article, we'll refer to these as "multiple-post weapons".

Another solution, one often used with combiners, is simply to have the two posts one on top of the other—the smaller post on the bottom and the larger post on the top, both forming the same handle of the gun. [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]]'s accessories are one of the earliest examples (albeit unintentional), with rings or ridges widening the pegs to 5 mm. The problem with this solution is that, when one gives weapons to unrelated toys, Transformers with fist holes that don't go all the way through the hands (such as [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|''Armada'' Hot Shot]]) often can't hold these guns. We'll call that "double-posting" or "double-posted weapons" for the purposes of this article.

===5 mm Screw Holes===
Many Transformers over the years have indented holes to allow screws to hold two pieces of the toy together. These screw holes come in all shapes and sizes but often they are also 5 mm ports. Sometimes this is intentional, and the screw hole is deliberately moulded to 5 mm to give the toy more functionality. Most of the time though, they aren't intentionally 5 mm ports and are either very tight or slightly loose.

5 mm screw holes can add functionality to many toys which otherwise aren't 5 mm compatible, especially if a fan is creative. However, we have only included 5 mm screw holes in the compatibility list below if they are particularly notable. So if you suspect a toy's screw holes are 5 mm and it's not on the list, at least give it a try.

===Powerlinx Ports===
[[File:Armadagalvatron 5mmoverload.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I want it all, and I want it now!]]

During the [[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|''Armada'' toy line]], a new spin on the 5 mm post and port was developed: the [[Mini-Con]] [[Powerlinx]]. Using hollow 5 mm posts with a "trigger" contained inside, Mini-Cons could activate the [[gimmick]]s of other toys or simply mount on other toys. Because the Mini-Cons use a special kind of port, they cannot be mounted on 5 mm posts that aren't hollow. In theory, this means only toys with specific Powerlinx ports can hold Mini-Cons. In ''practice'', this isn't the case at all.

Throughout the history of the ''Transformers'' franchise, for one reason or another, toys have come with 5 mm posts which are hollow, creating a kind of unintentional back-compatibility with many Mini-Cons. We'll list this back-compatibility in individual toy entries further down the page.

The other significant aspect of the Powerlinx ports is that they act like regular 5 mm posts too. This means that you can use them to mount any weapons or accessories that are designed to mount on 5 mm posts. Does mounting a bunch of miniature cars on [[Starscream (Armada)#toys|''Armada'' Starscream's]] arms seem silly to you? Maybe it's time to use the guns from the [[Micromaster]] [[Anti-Aircraft Base]].
{{-}}

==Generation 1==
In the first few years of the toy line, partly because of the mix-and-match nature of the line itself, ''Transformers'' didn't have very standardised fist sizes. The ''[[Diaclone]]''-descended toys usually had no single standard, with only the toys with the biggest weapons or fists having 5 mm posts. The ''[[Micro Change]]''-descended toys were much more consistent about post size, using 5 mm posts on almost all of the toys with weapons or accessories, because of the size being one of the standard connectors for Microman toys.

As Generation 1 evolved 5 mm posts and ports became nearly universal. Only the switch to smaller toys with [[Action Master]]s changed this — a new, smaller, universal post size was used for that line. These smaller sized posts carried over into the UK Transformers, while in [[Japan]] the rise of Micromasters led to 5 mm staying predominant throughout the line.

===1984===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] — The only Autobot this year to use 5 mm posts, Prime's main rifle sadly has a terrible [[design flaw]] (that has '''never''' been corrected, despite all the reissues) which makes it much less interchangeable with other toys. The gun's handle is moulded in the wrong place, and there's a false handle where the real one should be. Prime has actually been retooled to allow him to hold the rifle better — by increasing the size of the rims on his fists. Too bad they didn't just put the rifle's handle post in the right place. In addition to the rifle, [[Roller (G1)|Roller]]'s [[fuel pump]] is also a 5 mm post. It's possible to use this to either give the pump to other toys or to pump up Roller with some heavy weaponry.

;DECEPTICONS
All the 1984 Decepticons use 5 mm posts in some capacity.
*[[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]]
[[File:Ravage5mmcompatibility.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Shattered Glass Ravage prefers flowers.]]
*[[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys|Laserbeak]], [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] and [[Ravage (G1)/toys|Ravage]] — Due to the post holes in their bodies, they can be pegged onto Mini-Con ports, or similar 5 mm posts.

*[[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] — Their wings ''and'' their weapons have 5 mm posts.

*[[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]] — Most notably his large chrome rifle has a 5 mm post on it, allowing it to be given to other toys.

===1985===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]] — Grimlock's fist holes are smaller than 5 mm (being the size of Rhisling's lower hilt), but ridges on the upper sections of his launcher and [[sword]] pegs and a ring on the upper part of the gun's peg make them 5 mm.
*[[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] — Tracks' missile mount is on a 5 mm peg. This means Tracks can have any 5 mm peg weapons mounted over his head or on his car or flight modes. Possibly the only ''Diaclone''-based [[Autobot Cars|Autobot Car]] with a 5 mm weapon.
*[[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]
*[[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] and [[Twin Twist]] — These toys do NOT have 5 mm post holes, but their rifles have a 5 mm base to the gun peg, effectively creating a very shallow double-peg that allows their guns limited inter-changeability with toys with 5 mm fists.
*[[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] — Devastator's is a classic double-posted rifle. Devastator's fists are 5 mm holes, but he shares his rifle with [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] and his tiny, tiny fists.
*[[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] have the same 5 mm compatibility as Starscream and company from the previous year.
*[[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] — The strange construction of Blitzwing's weapons and fists makes interchangeability... awkward, as his fist holes are on the sides instead of the top; the weapons are sculpted to still look like he's holding them normally. Of course, if you're a fan of punch daggers, or Blitzwing holding someone else's guns 'gangsta-style', then more power to you.

===1986===
1986 saw the introduction of the Transformers [[Special Teams]], or [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style combiners. All of these combiners used 5 mm posts as standard to peg in their fists and feet in combined mode, meaning you could swap these parts between any of the combiners. The fists of the combined forms almost universally used 5 mm holes (all except [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]]) and almost all the leaders of the teams (except [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]) used 5 mm posts for their fists.

The smaller members of the Special Teams almost all had small pistols or rifles that used variably compatible smaller posts, and larger alt mode weapons that used 5 mm posts — often taking advantage of post holes used for the combined form's fists or feet. The earlier toys often used weapons with 5 mm ports which would peg onto the robot — allowing those weapons to be pegged onto Mini-Con ports and other similar 5 mm posts. The later toys tended to use 5 mm posts which peg into ports on the toy.

;AUTOBOTS
[[File:Outback5mmcompatibility.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Where the bloody hell am I? Right here, mate. Right here!]]
*[[Outback (G1)|Outback]] — The only [[Mini Vehicle]] with a weapon at all, Outback sports a 5 mm post that lets him use all kinds of crazy weapons.
*[[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]] and [[Ramhorn (G1)|Ramhorn]] — But '''not''' [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]] or [[Eject (G1)|Eject]], strangely. Ramhorn's peg holes are very loose.
*[[Superion (G1)|Superion]] — Barely. The [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s are the only Special Team whose leader doesn't use 5 mm posts, and who have no members with larger vehicle weapons which use 5 mm posts. Superion doesn't have 5 mm fists either. Only the posts and ports for the combined form's hands and feet are 5 mm posts. Superion even has what looks like a hollow 5 mm peg on the underside of his combined form's chest plate — however this peg is just slightly too big to be of use.
*[[Protectobot (G1)|The Protectobots]] — In the standard style of the Scramble City teams, described above.
*[[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]
*[[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] — Most of Magnus' accessories use 5 mm posts. Interestingly enough his rifle has two ways of being held — the large robot uses a larger peg than the small inner robot's 5 mm post. So you can only let other toys hold the gun in the same way as Magnus' inner robot.
*[[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] — Uses 5 mm posts for his weapons, and his fists. He can happily wear any Scramble City fists instead of his own. [[Six-Gun]] and [[Scamper]] do not use 5 mm pegs for their weapons, however [[Slammer]] does. His turret is on a hollow 5 mm post so it can be mounted on (or rather under, most of the time) Mini-Cons!

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]
*[[Stunticon (G1)|The Stunticons]] — In the standard style of the Scramble City teams, described above.
*[[Combaticon (G1)|The Combaticons]] — In the standard style of the Scramble City teams, described above.
*[[Predacon (G1)|The Predacons]] — Unlike the Scramble City toys, all the Predacons use 5 mm posts as standard, with no accessories at all with smaller pegs, making all their weapons usable by [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]].
*[[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] — Only his head-mounted gun, his rifle uses a smaller peg.
*[[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]] — However remember, [[Nightmare Planet|Galvatron's weapons pegs can be any size he wants!]]
*[[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] — [[Full-Tilt (G1)|Full-Tilt]] does ''not'' use 5 mm posts. On the other hand, [[Brunt (G1)|Brunt's]] tank turret ''does'' use them. It's completely possible to mount the turret as an arm cannon for an ''Armada'' toy, or anyone else with 5 mm posts.

===1987===
By 1987, 5 mm posts had become almost universal. Only some smaller toys, and those toys without weapon accessories, didn't have them.

;AUTOBOTS
*[[Technobot (G1)|The Technobots]] — In the standard style of the Scramble City teams, described in the 1986 section above.
*[[Fastlane]] & [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]]
*[[Punch (G1)|Punch-Counterpunch]]
*The [[Monsterbot (G1)|Monsterbot]]s
*The [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] — [[Kup (G1)#Targetmaster|Kup]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Targetmaster|Hot Rod]] and [[Blurr (G1)#Targetmaster|Blurr]] were [[retool]]ed to be 5 mm peg compatible so that they could use [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] this year. The other Targetmaster moulds were all made with 5 mm pegs in mind.

*The [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] — [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Toys|Fortress Maximus]] was the only Headmaster not to use 5 mm pegs exclusively. Nearly all his accessories and the weapons for his smaller components were 5 mm pegs. However his larger rifles were so huge they used much, much larger peg sizes which are not compatible with any other Transformers mould.

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Terrorcon (G1)|The Terrorcons]] — [[Blot (G1)#Toys|Blot]] and [[Cutthroat (G1)#Toys|Cutthroat]] are the only small Special Teams members outside the Aerialbots not to have alt mode weapons with 5 mm posts. Blot has a backpack, and Cutthroat has a transforming tail weapon, instead.
*[[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]] & [[Overkill (G1)|Overkill]]
*[[Pounce]] & [[Wingspan]]
*[[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]
*The [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] — [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Targetmaster|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)#Targetmaster|Scourge]] were retooled to be able to use the 5 mm pegs associated with Targetmasters and released again as part of this range.
*The [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] — Scorponok is the only Decepticon Headmaster not to use 5 mm pegs universally. Most of his accessories use them, except for his four large double-barrelled cannons and his shield, which has a slightly wider peg hole. The shield does have a hollow 5 mm peg on it, though, allowing you to mount a Mini-Con on the shield. Sweet! Oh yeah, that does mean, by the way, that his tremendously enormous rifle does use both 5 mm pegs and 5 mm peg holes. Fasttrack doesn't use 5 mm pegs for his hands, but his arms are mounted on 5 mm pegs, so you can give him all sorts of crazy gun arms.

===1988===
[[File:Pretender5mmcompatibility.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|5 mm pegs on Pretenders: A demonstration.]]
1988 introduced a new line dependent on the 5 mm peg, the Pretenders. As mentioned above, in the section on multiple posts and double posts, the Pretender shells all had 5 mm pegs, while their robots had smaller (less universally sized) pegs. Pretenders usually had at least one weapon (sometimes more) that was meant for both the shell and the inner robot. For the 1988 Pretenders, these weapons had multiple pegs on them, allowing different components to hold them in different ways. These weapons were also usually a part of the Pretender's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], and mounted on them in that mode using 5 mm pegs.

Later Pretenders used double-posting instead of multiple-posting, so that the inner robots often lacked the 5 mm compatibility in their vehicle modes that earlier Pretenders enjoyed. But for 1988 it was 5 mm compatible city!

;AUTOBOTS
*[[Grand Slam (G1)|Grand Slam]] & [[Raindance]]
*The [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]]
*The [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] — Unlike in 1987, the 1988 Autobot Headmasters had two sets of weapons with different post sizes. There was a single main rifle for the main robot with a 5 mm post, and two smaller pistols that were both vehicle mode weapons and antennae for the robots' head.
*The [[Powermaster]]s. — [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Prime]] in particular is notable because his weapons are massive, badass and freakin' awesome. You know they are. Admit it.
*[[Quickswitch]]
*The [[Pretender]]s — Including the regular Pretenders, [[Pretender Beast]]s and [[Gunrunner (G1)|Gunrunner]], the [[Pretender Vehicle]].

;DECEPTICONS
[[File:Skalor5mmcompatibility.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|That gun mode stinks!]]
*[[Seacon (G1)|The Seacons]] — Because of his Targetmaster gimmick, [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]] is one of only two (the other being Superion, the piker) Generation 1 combiner robot without 5 mm post hole fists. Instead he has special ports for the square pegs which are used as part of the Special Teams style combination. Each of the five smaller Seacons also come with a special Targetmaster stand which allows them to use their gun forms independent of Piranacon. The stand is divided into three parts, a connector, a post and a base. The post is moulded to look like a large rifle and has multiple pegs on it (of different sizes) letting it be held as a weapon both by the small Seacons and by anyone with a 5 mm fist. The connector is even cooler, since it has a 5 mm post hole and can be used to mount the Seacons on Mini-Con ports or other similar gun posts when in gun mode. It can also be used to make any Scramble City style combiner limb 5 mm post compatible, so any of them can become a giant Mini-Con. How awesome is that?
*[[Squawktalk (G1)|Squawktalk]] & [[Beastbox (G1)|Beastbox]]
*The [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]]
*The [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] — The small Decepticon Headmasters did not have two sets of weapons like their Autobot counterparts and relied entirely on 5 mm posts.
*The [[Powermaster]]s — Doubledealer came with a special Powermaster Engine cover with a 5 mm post on it. The post is hollow, allowing you to mount a Mini-Con on it.
*The [[Pretender]]s — Including the regular Pretenders, [[Pretender Beast]]s and [[Roadgrabber]], the [[Pretender Vehicle]].

===1989===
This year introduced the [[Micromaster]]s together with a ''truckload'' more Pretenders. The Micromasters emphasized inter-compatibility in a way Transformers hadn't really done before. All the bases were able to connect through special ramps, and all the weapons for the bases used 5 mm posts. The Micromasters themselves all had small ports in their feet that corresponded to small posts all over the bases — letting you stand them freely. The Micromasters' association with 5 mm pegs would continue through into the Japanese toy lines, and would be reflected in the Mini-Cons who would come down the pipeline many years later.

As mentioned above, the Pretenders this year were a little less 5 mm compatible. While the first-year Pretenders generally had 5 mm ports on their vehicle modes as well as their Pretender shells, those ports disappeared on most of the inner robots for this year. Instead of using multiple posts on the same weapon, more toys this year used a double-post.

;AUTOBOTS
Literally all the Autobot Pretenders from this year used 5 mm posts. All of the Micromaster bases and transports except for [[Overload (G1)|Overload]] and [[Hot House (Micromaster)|Hot House]] used 5 mm posts for their weapon accessories. Hot House and Overload don't really have any accessories, so that's understandable.
*[[Pincher (G1)|Pincher]], [[Doubleheader]] and [[Longtooth]]
*[[Classic Pretender]]s — [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Jazz]]. These toys were re-released without their shells as [[Legends (G1)|Legends]]. They only came with their smaller weapons, which are double-posted. While the inner robots can't hold 5 mm weapons their weapons can be used with other toys. Bumblebee and Jazz's guns were switched for the Legends release, so if you're pedantic about continuity feel free to give Jazz's gun to Classics Bumblebee without feeling guilty.
*[[Crossblades (G1)|Crossblades]] and [[Vroom (G1)|Vroom]]
*[[Skyhammer (G1)|Skyhammer]]

*[[Erector (G1)|Erector]] and his [[Crane]] — Erector's weapons are all 5 mm posts. While Erector's trailer hitch is not a 5 mm post it is hollow and works as a 5 mm port, allowing Erector to connect to other TFs and bases like a Mini-Con.
*[[Ironworks (Micromaster)|Ironworks]]' [[Ironworks (facility)|Construction station]] — In station mode, Ironworks's base has two hollow 5 mm posts on its scaffolding section. These are completely compatible with Mini-Cons. In windmill... errr... radar tower mode these two pegs are used to mount the scaffolding to the tower, so aren't accessible.
*[[Groundshaker]]'s [[ATV]] and [[Countdown (G1)|Countdown]]'s [[Rocket Base|Rocket base]]

;DECEPTICONS
All the Decepticon Micromaster bases and transports were 5 mm compatible this year in some capacity. The Pretenders also, except for the Monster Pretenders.
*[[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]] — As with nearly all combiners, Monstructor uses 5 mm fist holes. However none of the individual Monster Pretenders do. Their shell covers sometimes have relatively inaccessible 5 mm posts or ports for Monstructor's accessories, but that is more-or-less the extent of their compatibility.
*[[Octopunch (G1)|Octopunch]], [[Stranglehold]] and [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]
*[[Classic Pretender]]s [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]] — Also available as a Legends figure without any of the 5 mm compatibility conferred by his shell.
*[[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]
*[[Roadblock (G1)|Roadblock]]

*[[Flattop (Decepticon)|Flattop]]'s [[Aircraft carrier]] and [[Roughstuff]] and his [[Military transport]] — Roughstuff's are the only large Micromaster weapons without 5 mm posts, making him far less compatible with other toys than he should be. However his trailer hitch is a 5 mm post and port. That might be of... some use.
*[[Greasepit (Micromaster)|Greasepit]]'s [[Greasepit (facility)|Gas station]] and [[Airwave (Micromaster)|Airwave]]'s [[Airwave (facility)|Airport]] — Greasepit has a host of little 5 mm post accessories that aren't weapons like a set of petrol pumps and a street sign. Airwave's compatibility is limited to having several 5 mm ports on the top of his base's station mode.
*[[Skyhopper]]'s [[Helicopter]] and [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]]'s [[Thunder Arrow|Interstellar shuttle]]

===1990===
[[Action Master]]s dropped the 5 mm posts in favour of a smaller standard-sized peg for hand-held weapons, obviously due to the smaller size of the figures' fists (these holes are the right size for vintage [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] weapons and accessories). However, the backpack accessories for the individually carded figures use 5 mm pegs to attach to the screw-holes in the figures' backs, making them compatible with weapons for larger toys. Some of the bases use 5 mm posts for their weapon systems as well. But for the most part, this was the end of 5 mm pegs being universal in Transformers for a very long time; it wouldn't happen again until the [[Unicron Trilogy]], almost a decade later.

;AUTOBOTS
[[File:Lionizer5mmdemo.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Another example of why beards freakin' rock.]]
*[[Lionizer (G1)|Lionizer]] — Because of his beard, he actually has a double-post, so he has a 5 mm post, though it's very tight.

*[[Prowl (G1)/toys#Action Master|Prowl]]'s [[Turbo Cycle (G1)|Turbo Cycle]]. — The cycle's engine intakes have a 5 mm port, so they can be mounted on Mini-Con pegs if you'd like. The wheel section uses a 5 mm post to connect to the cycle, as does the hinged side-cover section, which could also be posted on Prowl's back to approximate his original toy's door "wings". The rest of his accessories use the more standard smaller pegs used by Action Masters.
*[[Over-Run (G1)|Over-Run]]. — While both he and his helicopter aren't really 5 mm compatible, he ''does'' have hand-held missile launchers with 5 mm post ''holes'' on them. They can be mounted on Mini-Con ports, or you can mount 5 mm guns on top of them while Over-Run is holding them — but good luck keeping his arms up. There's a couple of posts on the back of his helicopter as well.
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#AM|Optimus Prime's]] [[Armored Convoy]] — Has a bunch of black guns and orange guns with 5 mm posts. Yes, you can give all these weapons to Classics Primes. The black guns have hollow posts and so can be mounted on Mini-Cons. The entire Armored Convoy, both cab and trailer, is littered with 5 mm ports.

*[[Missile Launcher]] (with [[Retro]] & [[Surge (G1)|Surge]]) and [[Tanker Truck]] (with [[Pipeline]] & [[Gusher]]) — Both bases have a new mould Micromaster ramp with a double-peg on it. Unfortunately it's very hard to access, and not very effective as a shield for other toys The combiner bases also extensively use 5 mm ports and pegs for all their weapons, and even their main combining pegs. This means they can be connected to each other, or to any other 5 mm pegs or ports.
*[[Battlefield Headquarters]] with [[Full-Barrel]] & [[Overflow]]

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Megatron (G1)/toys#ActionMaster|Megatron's]] [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]]
*[[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s [[Stratotronic Jet]] — His missiles have 5 mm post holes, rather than 5 mm posts. This means you can mount his missiles on mini-con ports or other similar 5 mm posts.

[[File:Anti-aircraftbase multiconfig.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Blackout and shout!]]
*[[Cannon Transport]] with [[Terror-Tread]] & [[Cement-Head]] — Features the same 5 mm compatibility as the Autobot Combiner Transports.
*[[Anti-Aircraft Base]] with [[Blackout (G1)|Blackout]] & [[Spaceshot]] — Is one of the most versatile 5 mm-compatible toys of all time. All up the base features eight 5 mm ports, seven 5 mm posts and a variety of different accessories. The base's main guns are designed to peg onto 5 mm posts so can be used with mini-con ports. The base's radar equipment and additional weapons are all designed with 5 mm posts. Even the base's ramp features a 5 mm port, rather than the limited 5 mm post of the Micromaster Combiner Transports. The four 5 mm posts on the base proper are hollow, also allowing them to be used as mini-con ports.

==UK Generation 1==
After Generation 1 ended in the US it continued in the UK unabated. Well, a little bit abated. It wasn't as big as it was. The UK line at first consisted of redecos of Japanese toys and Action Masters that hadn't made it to America. After that they continued to produce their own toys. Okay... but what does that have to do with 5 mm pegs? Well, sadly, not much. The UK lines did not make extensive use of 5 mm pegs, even when they really should have (we're looking at you, Predator jets). The compatibility of these toys is incredibly limited.

===1991===
The Action Masters from this year didn't use 5 mm pegs at all, meaning that there were only three toys this year with 5 mm pegs.

;AUTOBOTS
[[File:Flame5mmdemo.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Ready for a Flame war!]]
*[[Flame (Motorvator)|Flame]], [[Gripper (G1)|Gripper]], [[Lightspeed (Motorvator)|Lightspeed]]. — The [[Motorvator]]s, being recycled Japanese toys, used 5 mm pegs as standard for their weapons. Their weapons had two sets of pegs letting them be held as swords or guns.

===1992===
This year introduced the Turbomasters and Predators. Even though both sets of toys (who all have massive guns) would have benefitted from 5 mm posts, only two toys out of the entire line have them.

;AUTOBOTS
*[[Rotorstorm (G1)|Rotorstorm]]

[[File:Stalker variousconfigs.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Stalk 'er? I hardly knew 'er.]]
;DECEPTICONS
*[[Stalker (G1)|Stalker]] — Unlike Rotorstorm, his hands are not 5 mm peg holes. Instead, the ports on his shoulders and back are 5 mm pegs — his massive missile and his radar dish are on 5 mm posts. His lack of 5 mm hands is made up for by two screw holes on his wrists which are 5 mm holes, allowing him to hold guns there.

===1993===

==Japanese Generation 1==
There's not a lot to say about Japanese Generation 1. The main thing is that there are more Micromasters. More Micromasters means more 5 mm pegs.

The first few lines that the Japanese marketed independently were mostly reuses of American moulds, with only a few differences. Basically, if the American version can use 5 mm pegs, so can the Japanese version. In these cases, there's only a handful of toys that need pointing out as independent and unique but the overall line was generally a mess of 5 mm pegs everywhere.

===Headmasters===
Most of this line was just American release toys repackaged. Basically all of them were 5 mm compatible. Almost all of the moulds unique to the Japanese line were also 5 mm compatible.

;CYBERTRONS
*[[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper]] and [[Artfire]]. — Jazz and Inferno, two previously non-compatible toys, were retooled and redecoed in Headmasters and used as Targetmasters. Artfire's fists are expanded to allow him to hold his targetmaster gun [[Nightstick (Headmasters)|Nightstick]]. Stepper meanwhile has Jazz's missile launcher replaced by a plug-in port to allow him to use his Targetmaster unit [[Nebulon (Headmasters)|Nebulon]] as a shoulder cannon.
*<s>Billy</s> <s>Blaster</s> [[Blaster (G1)|Twincast]] — Redeco and slight retool of G1 Blaster.

*[[Graphy]], [[Noise]], [[Dile]] and [[Zaur (Headmasters)|Zaur]]
*[[Raiden]] — Like Devastator before him (well, sorta), Raiden can use 5 mm weapons while his components cannot.

;DESTRONS
*[[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundblaster]] — Redeco and slight retool of G1 Soundwave.

===Masterforce===
Again, Masterforce is almost entirely American moulds, but this time there's more redecos. There's a few retools, and a handful of new moulds too, with 5 mm compatibility.

;CYBERTRONS
*[[Metalhawk (Masterforce)|Metalhawk]] — He's a Pretender. And what have we learned so far? That's right: Pretenders are 5 mm compatible.
*[[Ginrai (human)|Super Ginrai]] and [[Godbomber]] — Ginrai is a retool of Powermaster Optimus Prime, with brand new hands. Brand new retractable 5 mm hands! (To replace his old unretractable 5 mm hands!) Godbomber is designed to be compatible with Ginrai, to use his accessories and to merge with him, so he gets to be 5 mm compatible too. Sweet.
*[[Grand Maximus]] — Fortress Maximus with a new deco and some new accessories. He's compatible with 5 mm pegs in the same way as Fortress Maximus, and his new parts are mostly a Pretender shell with some extra weapons. Pretender shell? Well, we know what that means!

;DESTRONS
*[[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] — Does not have 5 mm peg holes for his hands, but has limited compatibility thanks to a handful of 5 mm holes and some 5 mm pegs on his smaller accessories. This toy was also released in Europe in 1992.
*[[Browning]] — As well as multiple sets of fists, Browning also has 5 mm post holes on his shoulders for added shoulder cannon action.
*[[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] — A retool of G1 Scorponok with a new [[robot mode]] head and some new weapons. He's 5 mm compatible in the same ways as Scorponok, but with updated [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]] compatibility to boot.

===Victory===
Victory was radically different from the American toy line of the time. Most of the toys were unique to Japan, and most of them had 5 mm compatibility to some extent.

;CYBERTRONS
*[[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], [[Victory Leo]] and their combined form Victory Saber
*[[Blacker]], [[Laster]], [[Braver]] and their combined form [[Road Caesar]].
*[[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] — While the individual components are not generally 5 mm compatible, Landcross has 5 mm fists. Some of his components have 5 mm holes on their vehicle modes for storing merge parts.
*[[Galaxy Shuttle]] — Dude's basically a Micromaster toy, of course he's 5 mm compatible.
*[[Greatshot]] — A retool and redeco of Sixshot.

;DESTRONS
*[[Liokaiser]] — As with most every merge group, Liokaiser's fists are 5 mm pegs. His individual components are mostly not 5 mm compatible. [[Leozack]] has 5 mm ports, and [[Guyhawk]] and [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]] have 5 mm posts, used in merging. [[Killbison]]'s tank mode guns are on a 5 mm plug, which becomes Liokaiser's hand-held weapons. None of these ports and plugs are particularly accessible or useful. Unless you want to give Leozack gun knees, which... who wouldn't want to?
*[[Dinoking]] — A redeco of Monstructor with new Pretender shells, he's 5 mm compatible in exactly the same way.
*[[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]] and [[Blue Bacchus]] — Retools and redecos of Crossblades and Thunderwing.

===Zone===
Zone is basically the Japanese equivalent of the American Micromasters line. Most of the toys were straight repackagings of the American releases, with basically no changes. The rest were either new Micromaster bases (with 5 mm weapons) or redecos of American bases. 5 mm compatibility had been more or less the norm for Japanese Generation 1, and Zone would cement their place with only the individual Micromasters not being fully 5 mm compatible.

;CYBERTRONS
*[[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]], [[Sonic Bomber]], [[Roadfire|Road Fire]] and their merged form [[Big Powered]]
*[[Landshaker]] and [[Sky Hyper]] — Redecos of Groundshaker and Sky Hopper's bases with new pilots and the same ole weapons.

;DESTRONS
*[[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] — Dude, a crazy Decepticon redeco of Metroplex. Just as compatible with 5 mm pegs as Metroplex ever was. But more blue.

===Return of Convoy===
[[File:Microtrailer versatility.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Is there nothing they can't do?!]]
Yup, Optimus Prime got a new toy this year. Yawn. What we're really interested in is two brand new concepts. First of all, all the Micromaster patrols were re-released this year, and packaged with brand new Micro Trailers. Secondly we were introduced to six-member Micromaster combiner teams which merge more traditionally than the American Micromaster combiners.

The Micro Trailers were simple launchers for the Micromasters, and there were (including the three packaged with the bulks from this year) 14 in all. From a 5 mm compatibility point of view, these things are incredible. They're designed to combine, pegging into each other. The result is two hollow 5 mm posts, and two 5 mm ports on each little trailer. You can load them up with weapons, plug Mini-Cons into them or just have larger robots hold them as weapons. Just to add to it, they've got ports for American Micromaster Combiners to tow them with, connectors for Micromaster ramps, and a tab to let Sky Garry carry them. Interactivity? You freakin' bet.

The six member combiners are significant because they are the first (and to date '''only''') combiner teams to use 5 mm pegs to connect actual robots together. The six Micromasters in each team combine around a frame that makes up the torso, head, and thighs of the robot. The shoulders of this frame use hollow 5 mm pegs to connect its arms. It's significant because it means that the arm components for all the six member Micromaster combiners have large 5 mm ports, allowing them to peg onto 5 mm posts — like Mini-Con pegs, for example.

;CYBERTRONS
*[[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]], [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]], and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Star Convoy]]
*[[Micro Trailer]]s #0 to 12, and Star Convoy's Micro Trailer.
[[File:Micromerge5mmcompatibility.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb]]
*[[Sixliner]] — Sixliner was the first of the six member Micromaster combiner teams. He had 5 mm compatible fists, a 5 mm compatible gun (with two hollow 5 mm pegs on the side) and oddly enough 5 mm compatible toes. His combiner parts can all become carriages for the train modes of his individual Micromasters. His main torso section has three hollow 5 mm posts on it, allowing it to mount Mini-Cons, or to be held by larger robots as a strange gun (which you can then mount Mini-Cons on). Sixliner's arms, [[Leaf]] and [[Alan (ROC)|Alan]] connect to him via 5 mm ports that can be used to peg them on any 5 mm posts.

===Operation Combination===
The last gasp of Generation 1 in Japan. This line was a mish-mash of new moulds, redecos of old moulds and UK imports.

The most important part of the line from our point of view right now is the new six member Micromaster combiners. There was a retool of Sixliner, and 3 entirely new mould teams. The three new teams use a generic body frame which uses far more 5 mm pegs than the Sixliner body. The head and feet, as well as the shoulders, now connect by 5 mm posts. This new versatility meant that four members of the team, not just two, could peg onto 5 mm posts. The parts of these new combiners could also merge into a jet — but if you merge them into a jet you can't use the parts as weapons for larger robots, and who wants that? No one.

;CYBERTRONS
*[[Sixturbo]] — His arms and legs, [[Circuit (OC)|Circuit]], [[Neo-Wheel]], [[Discharge (OC)|Discharge]] and [[Sireen]] all have 5 mm ports.
*[[Sixbuilder]] — His arms and legs, [[Digger]], [[Iron Lift]], [[Mixing]] and [[Treader]] all have 5 mm ports.
*[[Sixwing]] — His arms and legs, [[Falcon (OC)|Falcon]], [[Flanker]], [[Raker]] and [[Supersonic]] all have 5 mm ports.
*[[Guard City]] — A redeco, barely, of Generation 1 Defensor. Compatible in exactly the same way as the original mould.
*[[Sixtrain]] — A retool of Sixliner. His arms [[Atlan]] and [[Raise]] have 5 mm ports.

;DESTRONS
*[[Battle Gaia]] — A redeco of Generation 1 Bruticus. Compatible in exactly the same way as the original mould.
{{-}}

==Generation 2==
Come 1993 and ''Transformers'' was given a rebirth, both in the US (who hadn't had toys on the shelves since 1990) and in the rest of the world, called ''Generation 2''. This toyline was a mixture of vintage Generation 1 ''[[Diaclone]]''-based toys, redecos of toys released in the UK and later on a whole slew of brand new moulds created just for that line.

''Generation 2'' was only moderately 5 mm-friendly. The old moulds retained their old compatibilities, and the new moulds tended to be much smaller toys that weren't able to have large fist holes. Still, there are a handful of new and interesting toys with 5 mm compatibility, and many of them would go on to be prominent toys in later lines as well.

===1993===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Optimus Prime]] — This toy is a redeco and retool of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. The main difference now is the addition of a voice pack with two 5 mm post holes on it and the addition of two brand-new hand-held missile launchers with 5 mm posts. This added versatility has basically never been carried forwards to other re-releases of the mould.
*[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Jazz]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Generation 2 2|Sideswipe]] — These two (redecos of the G1 toys) are NOT 5 mm compatible, but their missile launchers have a double-post, making their '''guns''' 5 mm compatible.

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Devastator (G1)#Generation 2|Devastator]] — This toy was released twice in two different new decos, but it's still the same tooling as the Generation 1 toy with the same compatibilities.
*[[Ramjet (G1)#Generation 2 2|Ramjet]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Starscream]] — Redecos of the Generation 1 toys with the same compatibilities. They also have new missile launchers (that actually launch!) and a new sound box, but neither of these really adds any new compatibility to the toys.
*[[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Megatron]] — This is the first new Gen2 exclusive mould created for the American toy line. It's also the first new mould with 5 mm fists.

===1994===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Superion (G1)#Generation 2|Superion]] — A redeco of the Generation 1 toy, with the same very very limited compatibility, but with the added bonus of Gold Plastic Syndrome.
*[[Silverbolt (G1)#Generation 2 2|Silverbolt]] — A redeco of the Generation 1 toy, unlike the original toy this Silverbolt is retooled to have 5 mm post holes on his wings, for a pair of new missile launchers. Silverbolt's launchers are the same basic mould as those used by the Skyraiders, but were retooled to have a double-post so that Superion could hold them. Because he doesn't have 5 mm fists. Because Superion is a poopy-head.
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Hero Optimus Prime]]
*[[Electro#Generation 2 2|Electro]] and [[Volt#Generation 2 2|Volt]].

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Bruticus (G1)#Generation 2|Bruticus]] and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] — A slightly retooled and extensively redecoed version of the original toy with the same basic compatibilities. [[Onslaught (G1)#Generation 2 2|Onslaught]] also has a new missile launcher which is 5 mm compatible.

===1995===
The last year of ''Generation 2'' was getting more and more experimental, with toys with all kinds of different gimmicks, all kinds of brand new features. Unfortunately this year also saw a severe downsizing of the toys — smaller toys became the standard. That left room for only one toy this year with 5 mm fists and accessories.

;AUTOBOTS
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Laser Optimus Prime]] — Probably because of a decided downturn in the ''size'' of individual toys in 1995, Laser Optimus Prime is the '''only''' toy this year with 5 mm pegs. His sword, laser cannon, and missile launcher have 5 mm handles.

==Beast Wars==
[[File:Optimusprimal5mmposts.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Share and share alike.]]

After ''Generation 2'', 5 mm posts took a pasting. Suddenly they just weren't standard any more. If ''Generation 2'' was experimental in its last days, then ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' was even more experimental. There were basically no singular standards for this line. Characters were completely self-contained [[play pattern]]s, based around their animal modes. As the line evolved general gimmicks, again based on the aesthetics of the toy rather than their play pattern, began to dominate. The only place that 5 mm post holes were generally universal were the larger scale Ultra toys who mostly featured 5 mm hands.

Tolerances are a big issue with ''Beast Wars'' toys with 5 mm posts, the following list is as comprehensive as it can be, but you might find you struggle to use the 5 mm compatibility on some of your toys. In the testing phase different samples ranged from impossibly tight, to perfect, to really loose.

===1996===
;MAXIMALS
*[[Dinobot (BW)#Toys|Dinobot]] — Dinobot's weapons and accessories and hands are all 5 mm posts. This is great, seeing as this mould was released again, and again, and again. His famous [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|rotating blade]] weapon has a 5 mm post hole in it that allows it to mount on a 5 mm post on his dinosaur mode back. This is especially useful for mounting the tail weapon on his back in robot mode.
*[[Polar Claw]]
*[[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Ultra Optimus Primal]]
*[[Wolfang (Maximal)|Wolfang]] Has 5 mm screw holes in his robot back, and a non-screw 5 mm hole in his head — these are almost useless. However, his waist kibble has [[Mini-Con]]-compatible pegs, as does the front of his shield.

===1997===
;MAXIMALS
*[[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Grimlock]] — A [[redeco]] of the ''Beast Wars'' Dinobot mould with the same compatibility.
*[[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Ironhide]] and [[Magnaboss (BW)#Beast Wars|Magnaboss]] — [[Silverbolt (G1)#Beast Wars|Silverbolt]] and [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Prowl]] are not 5 mm compatible, but Ironhide, Magnaboss' sword, and Magnaboss are. The small hollow pegs on Ironhide's elephant shell halves are ''not'' 5 mm, but the size of the inner hole is such that they ''do'' grip Mini-Cons.
*[[B'Boom]]

;PREDACONS
*[[Ram Horn#Toys|Ram Horn]] and [[Tripredacus#Toys|Tripredacus]] — Ramhorn has 5 mm hands, giving Tripredacus one 5 mm hand too. The other members of the team are not 5 mm compatible.
*[[Inferno (BW)#Toys|Inferno]]

===1998===
;MAXIMALS
*[[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Transmetal Cheetor]] — His fists are an unconventional shape, but hold 5 mm weapons just fine.
*[[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Transmetal Optimus Primal]]
*[[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Optimal Optimus]] — While he doesn't have 5 mm peg holes for his fists, he does have 5 mm pegs on his wrists, (on angles, so their use is limited) and he ''does'' have hollow 5 mm pegs (perfect for Mini-Cons) on his rifle! On his shoulders are a couple of other 5 mm pegs too.

*[[Torca (BW)|Torca]]

;PREDACONS
*[[Megatron (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Transmetal Megatron]]
*[[Rampage (BW)#Beast Wars|Transmetal Rampage]]
*[[Antagony (BW)#Beast Wars|Botcon Antagony]]

===1999===
;MAXIMALS
*[[Optimus Minor#Toys|Optimus Minor]] — On his own, Optimus Minor is not 5 mm compatible. However, his tail weapon uses two different 5 mm pegs — one of which is hollow, perfect for Mini-Cons! The allows him to hold a Mini-Con in robot mode.
*[[Tigerhawk#Toys|Tigerhawk]]

;PREDACONS
*[[Megatron (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Transmetal II Megatron]]

===Beast Wars II===
''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|Beast Wars II]]'' was a Japanese only line capitalizing on the success of ''Beast Wars''. It's mostly a [[redeco]] line, with a handful of brand new toys or moulds. There's a bunch of old toys in this line with 5 mm compatibility, and a few retools and redecos. There's only one new mould. Lio Convoy looks like he should have them, but his fists are actually a bit bigger than the 5 mm standard.

[[File:BWII-toy Autolauncher.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Autolauncher, a canceled ''Generation 2 toy.]]

;CYBERTRONS
*[[Lio Convoy]]
*[[Santon]] and [[Magnaboss (BWII)|Magnaboss]] — Redecos of Beast Wars Ironhide and Magnaboss.

;DESTRONS
*[[Autolauncher]]
*[[Megastorm]]
*[[Megastorm|Gigastorm]]
*[[Thrust (BWII)|Thrustor]]
*[[God Neptune]] — A redeco of the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacon]]s minus [[Nautilator]], with most of the same 5 mm compatibilities as the original group. They were released in a gift set, and also lacked the individual gun stands that the original Seacons had. Man... sucky.
*[[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]]

===Beast Wars Neo===
[[File:BWN-toy Stampy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|That peg placement ''could'' be worse...]]
;CYBERTRONS
*[[Big Convoy]] — Includes a 5 mm peg-compatible Matrix.
*[[Longrack (BWN)|Longrack]]
*[[Break]] — 5 mm peg under each wing to use him as a missile launcher
*[[Stampy (BWN)|Stampy]] — 5 mm peg on his chest (with embossed Maximal symbol on the end) so his blade weapon mode can be held

;DESTRONS
*[[Hardhead (BWN)|Hardhead]]
*[[Elphaorpha]]

==Machine Wars==
[[File:MW_Soundwave_toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.00|"They may take my weapons, but they'll never take my 5 mm holes!"]]
[[Machine Wars: Transformers#Toys|Machine Wars]] also had a lack of support for the 5 mm peg, although this stems from the line re-using old European exclusive molds, or unused molds from Generation 2. However, the two releases in the Megas size did make use of 5 mm posts. As they were once [[Rotorstorm (G1)#Generation 1|Rotorstorm]] and [[Stalker (G1)#Generation 1|Stalker]] respectively, their use of 5 mm ports are identical to their original releases.

==Beast Machines==
''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' saw the almost complete abandonment of the 5 mm peg for its toys. The introduction of uniquely moulded hands and toys with few if any accessories meant that 5 mm peg holes were no longer needed. In fact, in all of ''Beast Machines'', there is only one toy with deliberate 5 mm peg holes for hands. There's others with 5 mm screw holes or 5 mm peg holes that can be used to make them compatible with older weapons, but for the most part, ''Beast Machines'' emphasized completely self-contained toys.

On the flip side, ''Beast Machines'' was one of the first'' Transformers'' lines to introduce vehicles and separately sold weapon-accessories for other toys, in the form of the [[Beast Rider]]s and [[Deployer (BM)|Deployer]] assortments. These toys, while emphasizing interactivity with other toys, did so without the use of pegs.

===2000===
;VEHICONS
*[[Megatron (BW)/toys#Beast Machines|Megatron]] — The only toy in the entire line that's deliberately 5 mm compatible, the Mega-sized Megatron toy has a single 5 mm fist in robot mode.

==2001 ''Robots in Disguise''==
Unlike the much more focused and consistently designed ''Beast Machines'', [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] was an absolute hodge-podge of a line. It used a combination of new moulds, vintage moulds, and contemporary redecos that saw toys from all over the place incorporated into the line. This was both good and bad for 5 mm peg enthusiasts—mostly bad, since the majority of the redecos came from ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]]s or ''Beast Wars'' and ''Beast Machines'' toys.

The handful of brand new toys in the line didn't really emphasize interactivity through compatibility of accessories. Instead they emphasized interactivity through figure combination. Still, there's a handful of stuff there worthy of inclusion here.

===2001===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Wedge (RID)#Toys|Wedge]], [[Heavy Load (RID)#Toys|Heavy Load]], [[Hightower (RID)#Toys|Hightower]], [[Grimlock (RID 2001)#Toys|Grimlock]] and [[Landfill (RID)#Toys|Landfill]] — Grimlock is the only member of the team lacking 5 mm fists, but fortunately he makes up for it in combined form where he forms a part with 5 mm compatible hands (well, claws) for Landfill. In fact all of Landfill's configurations are 5 mm compatible. Woo!

*[[Optimus Prime (RID)#Toys|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)#Toys|Ultra Magnus]] — Both use 5 mm posts extensively. Only the smaller, non-super mode Prime actually has 5 mm FISTS. Prime's super mode lacks 5 mm fists, or fists at all. Omega Prime's and Ultra Magnus's hands do have 5 mm holes on the palms, and Magnus's thumbs have 5 mm posts. Prime is also covered in a bunch of hollow 5 mm posts that can be used as mini-con ports, and both have 5 mm posts and holes out the wazoo.

;DECEPTICONS/PREDACONS
*[[Ruination (RID)#Toys|Ruination]] — Ruination is a [[redeco]] and slight [[retool]] of the Generation 1 [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s. Initially, in ''Robots in Disguise'', all five components were released separately, though later on they were released only as gift sets. The main difference to the moulds is that the Combaticons' weapons were retooled so they could create two super weapons for Ruination. These super weapons are 5 mm compatible.

==Armada==
For 5 mm peg addicts, the Unicron Trilogy was a godsend. It was the first Transformers toyline not only to feature 5 mm pegs as standard on nearly every single toy, but also to advertise this interactivity. It's all down to one thing: Mini-Cons. Mini-Cons and their contribution are covered a bit earlier in this article, but it's important here to mention their... well...importance.

Mini-Cons each came with a 5 mm peg hole, with a smaller (1mm?) peg imbedded inside it. Mini-Cons could then plug onto hollow (but NOT solid) 5 mm pegs, usually referred to as Mini-Con hardpoints. Some of these hardpoints included small triggers which were pushed down by the smaller peg inside the Mini-Con's 5 mm post hole. This activated gimmicks on the larger toys, and is why the Mini-Con don't simply have 5 mm post holes.

The inclusion of Mini-Cons as a set of figures compatible with all larger Armada figures saw an overnight change. Suddenly 5 mm pegs were the standard again and all but the roleplay toys in the Armada line have 5 mm pegs. However, carrying on from Beast Machines and Beast Wars, many Armada toys had unique or oddly moulded hands, which is madness when you have add on weapons with 5 mm pegs and lots of the toys can't hold them. 5 mm fists would not make their complete comeback until Energon.

===2003===
;MINI-CONS
The Mini-Cons are all 5 mm-compatible in the same way: All Mini-Cons can peg onto '''any''' hollow 5 mm pegs. Specific toys that can use them which aren't part of the Unicron trilogy are discussed all through this article, including RiD Optimus Prime, the Micromaster Anti-Aircraft Base, and Beast Wars K-9. Listed below are specific Mini-Cons with unique 5 mm compatibilities not covered by straightforward Powerlinking.

*[[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] and [[Run-Over (Armada)|Run-Over]] — Transform into guns with 5 mm-compatible handles.
*[[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]] — He has a 5 mm-compatible trailer hitch that can be used as a Mini-Con port, allowing other Mini-Cons to peg onto him!
*[[Leader-1 (Armada)|Leader-1]] and [[Clench (Armada)|Clench]] — Both have 5 mm-thick arms, allowing them to become 5 mm-compatible guns.
*[[Sonar (Armada)|Sonar]] and the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] — The Air Defence Team merges to become the Star Saber sword. The sword can be held by any toys with 5 mm fists or pegged onto Mini-Con compatible posts. Of the three members of the team, only Sonar has an extra feature. He has a 5 mm post accessible mostly in shuttle mode, allowing him to be held in other figures' hands (as well as allowing him to be the base of the Star Saber sword).
*[[Maverick (Armada)|Maverick]] and the [[Vorpal Saber|Dark Saber]]
*[[Prowl (Armada)|Prowl]] — Prowl transforms into a 5 mm-compatible gun.
*[[Dirt Boss (Armada)|Dirt Boss]] and the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] — The Race Mini-Con Team merge into an enormous shield designed for use with larger toys with 5 mm-compatible fists. Dirt Boss has a 5 mm-compatible head because of this. Yeah, you heard right, his head is a 5 mm post.
*[[Payload (Armada)|Payload]], [[Sky Blast (Armada)|Sky Blast]] and the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] — The Space Team merge into the Requiem Blaster, a super-gun meant for use by toys with 5 mm-compatible fists. Payload has the 5 mm peg that becomes the handle for the blaster, so he can be hand-held. Sky Blast also has a 5 mm peg, this one hollow so that you can mount other Mini-cons on top of the Requiem Blaster and power it up even MORE. Yeah. Insane, right? It also means Sky Blast can be hand-held or merge with Energon weapons, etc.
*[[Grindor (Armada)|Grindor]] — In skateboard mode, he has a Mini-Con compatible peg on top of him, allowing other Mini-cons to be plugged into him.

;AUTOBOTS
*[[Blurr (Armada)|Blurr]], [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Smokescreen]] and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]] — None of these three moulds sport 5 mm hands. Smokescreen has a 5 mm screw hole on his arms just below his fists which can be used as a kind of 5 mm fist, but neither Blurr nor Hoist have 5 mm fists at all. Smokescreen even came in a boxset with the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom Shield]] in Japan and he can't hold it!
*[[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys|Hot Shot]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys|Powerlinx Hot Shot]], and [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] — All feature standard 5 mm fists. Side Swipe even has a 5 mm-compatible gun. In Japan, Hot Shot was given an LED in one hand to allow him to light up 5 mm-compatible translucent weapons.
*[[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]], and [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]] — Three redecos of Beast Wars toys, they were retooled so they would have Mini-Con hardpoints. They were not retooled to have 5 mm compatible fists, however, so neither Rhinox nor Airazor can use 5 mm-compatible weapons. Cheetor still can, though.
*[[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] and [[Red Alert (Armada)|Powerlinx Red Alert]] — Red Alert is 5 mm compatible out the wazoo. He has Mini-Con pegs all over, plus a 5 mm fist, a 5 mm port on his shoulder for shoulder cannons, a 5 mm compatible rifle... oh yeah, and interchangeable tool hands which plug in using a 5 mm peg.
*[[Scavenger (Armada)|Scavenger]] — He doesn't have 5 mm-compatible hands. But he does have big, stompy feet, so we forgive him.
*[[Overload (Armada)|Overload]], [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetfire (Armada)|Powerlinx Jetfire]] — Both moulds have 5 mm fists, though Overload's are very limited due to his enormously high wrists. Overload also has a 5 mm-compatible port as his trailer hitch so he can be towed by Optimus Prime or his Mini-Con.
*[[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Supercon Optimus Prime]], [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Super Optimus Prime]] and [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Powerlinx Optimus Prime]] — Both the large and small Optimus Prime toys have 5 mm fists. Even in his Super Mode, Prime has 5 mm fists. The hitch used to pull Prime's trailer is a 5 mm post, shared by both the large and small versions of the toys. This means that the small Prime can pull the larger toy's trailer, or either of them can pull Armada Overload. You can also use this hitch as a mount for 5 mm compatible weapons.

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Powerlinx Cyclonus]], [[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]], [[Demolishor (Armada)|Powerlinx Demolishor]], [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] and [[Thrust (Armada)|Powerlinx Thrust]] — Do not have 5 mm compatible fists. They do have plenty of Mini-Con ports, though.
*[[Wheeljack (Armada)|Wheeljack]] — The only Supercon Decepticon with 5 mm-compatible fists. He also has missiles that he uses as clubs (well, in the fiction he uses them as guns...sorta...), and they're 5 mm compatible too.
*[[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]] — A redeco of Supercon Optimus Prime. He has all the same compatibilities, including being able to pull the Super Prime's trailer.
*[[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]] — A redeco and retool of Beast Wars Transmetal Terrorsaur. The retooling gives him Mini-Con pegs, but not 5 mm-compatible fists.
*[[Predacon (Armada)|Predacon]] — A redeco and retool of Beast Wars TM Megatron. Like the original version of the mould, he has 5 mm fists and a 5 mm tail weapon, but now he also sports four brand new Mini-Con pegs.
*[[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]] — All have 5 mm hands in addition to their Mini-Con pegs.
*[[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] — Doesn't have 5 mm fists, even if he is loaded with an unbelievable number of Mini-Con ports.
*[[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Megatron]] and [[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Galvatron]] — They traded useless knees for unreasonable numbers of Mini-Con hardpoints. Their insane number of Mini-Con pegs makes them one of the most 5 mm compatible moulds in history. The toy is perfect for overloading with weapons in either robot or tank mode, and in [[robot mode]], he even gets a 5 mm-compatible fist (only the one, because the other hand is concealing a knife).
*[[Unicron/toys|Unicron]] - In total, the planet-eater has 27 Mini-Con-compatible pegs in planet mode and 30 in robot mode — 32 if you count the two conveniently shaped pegs on the back of his right hand. Of those, 24 are situated on his wings/planet ring.

==Energon==
[[File:Energonweapon demo 001.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Now his shot's 6 times as hot!]]
With ''Transformers Energon'', the 5 mm golden age continued. Mini-Cons were dropped in favour of a return to the basic price point, but Energon figures still retained their 5 mm compatibility and their Mini-Con hardpoints. The line introduced new translucent weapons called energon weapons. The energon weapons were versatile, often multi-part weapons which frequently had both traditional 5 mm posts and ports and Mini-Con-style 5 mm posts and ports. They could be mounted on Mini-Con pegs, used to activate Mini-Con gimmicks on Armada toys, and merged to create insanely over-the-top super weapons.

There were two distinct types of energon weapons. There were the multi-part accessories packed with the Omnicons, which often had 3 or 4 distinct components. Strictly speaking these (and a few weapons of larger toys) were the weapons advertised officially as [[Energon weapon]]s. There were also the more static and traditional rifles and missile launchers packed with the larger ''Energon'' toys, even these weapons usually still had multiple posts and ports, including Mini-Con posts and ports, allowing them to be merged with other Energon weapons. As the series progressed, a third type of energon weapon was added: the multi-configuration weapons included with the Energon quintro-combiners, which were designed to be feet and hands for the large ''Energon'' combiner robots, as well as weapons for the component robots.

''Energon'' was really the first Transformers toy line to emphasise and advertise swapping and trading weapons as a pattern of play, despite the fact that Transformers toy lines had been capable of this play pattern since nearly the beginning. Over in Japan, this was emphasised even more with energon weapons from Omnibots given away, sold as separate units, or included as bonuses with redecos.

===2004===
;MINI-CONS
Not many Mini-Cons were produced during ''Energon''. There was only one entirely new team and a handful of redecos. They are all 5 mm-compatible, as is standard for Mini-Cons. Those Mini-Cons of special interest are listed below.

*[[Skyboom (Energon)|Skyboom]] and the [[Energon Saber]] — Retooled from Armada's Star Saber, they have the same basic compatibilities.
*[[Knock Out (Energon)|Knock Out]] — A redeco of Armada Rollout with all the same compatibilities.
*[[Payload (Armada)|Payload]], [[Sky Blast (Armada)|Sky Blast]] and the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]] — A redeco of the Requiem Blaster from Armada, with the same basic compatibilities.

;AUTOBOTS
The listing below describes, for the most part, the individual robots. Keep in mind that each toy also came with a gun, usually a transluscent energon weapon with multiple ports and pegs, and even Mini-con compatibility. Even toys without Mini-con plugs of their own often had them on their guns.

*The Omnicons, [[Offshoot (Energon)|Offshoot]], [[Signal Flare (Energon)|Signal Flare]], [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]], [[Strongarm (Energon)|Strongarm]], and his redeco [[Strongarm (Energon)|Energon Strongarm]] — The Omnicons were Basic-sized toys, the first toys featured at this price point to have 5 mm fists. Each came with an energon weapon, as described above, made up of several components, and an energon star meant to fit over spark crystal of ''Energon'' toys.

*[[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] — Arcee is the only Omnicon without 5 mm fists. She has 5 mm post holes in her arms meant to stand in for 5 mm fists, but her actual hands are eenie-weenie.

*[[Sky Shadow (Energon)|Sky Shadow]], [[Treadshot (Energon)|Treadshot]], [[Terradive (Energon)|Terradive]] and [[Windrazor (Energon)|Windrazor]] — The limb components of Superion Maximus. They had standard 5 mm compatibility and unique transformable energon weapons that became "hands" and "feet" for Superion Maximus.

*[[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]] — Downshift features a spoiler that becomes a unique platform for holding both his guns or any other energon weapons.
*[[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys|Hot Shot]], [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys|Energon Hot Shot]] and [[Prowl (Energon)|Prowl]]
*[[Inferno (Energon)|Inferno]], [[Roadblock (Energon)|Roadblock]] and [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] — In addition to standard ''Energon'' compatibility, these toys retain the Mini-Con ports from ''Transformers: Armada''. Rodimus has one, Inferno and Roadblock each have two.
*[[Tow-Line (Energon)|Tow-Line]] — Unlike the other Combat-Class ''Energon'' toys, Tow-Line was actually made up of two components which combine to form his vehicle mode, a robot and a battle platform. The robot is fairly standard for Energon toys, with many post holes for 5 mm weapons of all sorts, some of them in rather unusual places. The battle platform in particular, though, is basically designed as a showcase for Energon weapons, making a perfect platform for building insane or over-the-top energon weapon combinations.

*[[Beachcomber (Energon)|Beachcomber]] and [[Cliffjumper (Energon)|Cliffjumper]] — This mould has a Mini-con port on its shoulder pad. Unlike most other ''Energon'' Autobots their weapons, while 5 mm compatible, are not designed after the ''Energon'' weapon style. They don't have any extra posts or ports, and aren't made of translucent plastics. They're just simple hand-held guns.
*[[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] and [[Ironhide (Energon)|Energon Ironhide]] — One of a handful of ''Energon'' moulds without its own hand-held rifle. Has a Mini-Con port on his right forearm.
*[[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] and [[Overcast (Energon)|Overcast]] — The Mini-Con ports on their shuttle mode become their toes in robot mode so... uhhh... good luck with that. The rifle that comes with this mould, despite being translucent, is not effective as an Energon weapon. It has two gun posts, but no other compatibility. It may have been intended to, though. On top of the rifle is a piece of moulding that looks exactly like a Mini-Con post, including their unique base... but it's teeny tiny and undersized.

*[[Treadbolt]] — A redeco of ''Armada'' Scavenger with all his compatibilities.
*[[Wing Saber (Energon)|Wing Saber]] — He has no hand-held rifle, but he does have a Mini-Con port on his left forearm.

*[[Bulkhead (Energon)|Bulkhead]] and [[Quickstrike (Energon)|Quickstrike]], [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]] and [[Landquake (Energon)|Landquake]] — Both these moulds are littered with 5 mm ports and pegs. The Bulkhead mould also has a Mini-Con peg on his helicopter tail, while the Landmine mould has two Mini-Con ports on his large cannon for his Brute mode.

*[[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]] — A redeco of ''Armada'' Overload.

*[[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]] — Prime has 4 Mini-Con pegs in vehicle mode: 2 on his trailer, and 2 on his cab. In robot mode his trailer becomes a base and is still Mini-Con compatible, but the Mini-Con ports are hidden in Prime's robot mode, sadly. Prime's gun is just a standard rifle, not an energon weapon.
*[[Omega Sentinel (Energon)|Omega Sentinel]] and [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]] — This mould has 4 Mini-Con ports on his shoulders, front and back, and a handful of 5 mm posts. Still, considering its size it's not enormously versatile at using 5 mm compatible weapons.

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Battle Ravage]], [[Command Ravage]], [[Cruellock]], [[Doom-Lock (Energon)|Doom-Lock]] and [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticon]] — All the Energon Terrorcons have 5 mm fists as standard. In addition to his Energon weapon Ravage also has a tail mace.
*[[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebomb]] — Divebomb's wing-mounted weapons come in two variants. The first variant has only one 5 mm post on the base of the two-part weapon. The second variant was retooled to have two posts, one at either end of his weapon.
*[[Bonecrusher (Energon)|Bonecrusher]], [[Duststorm (Energon)|Duststorm]], [[Sledge (Energon)|Sledge]], and [[Wideload (Energon)|Wideload]] — The limbs of Constructicon Maximus. Each of them has 5 mm fists as standard. The Duststorm/Wideload mould also has a Mini-Con peg on its crane arm.
*[[Steamhammer (Energon)|Steamhammer]] — Steamhammer loves Mini-Cons. In both robot and vehicle modes he has 5 Mini-Con posts. That's a lot, even for an Energon toy, allowing him to hold a partner Mini-Con, an entire Mini-Con team and have one left over for an Energon weapon. Too bad he doesn't have a Mini-Con partner. (Oh yeah, he's got a bunch of 5 mm post holes too.)
*[[Constructicon Maximus]] — He retains six Mini-Con pegs, four from Steamhammer and two from Dust Storm and Wideload, though Steamhammer's aren't particularly accessible. He doesn't have 5 mm peg hole hands.
*[[Blackout (combiner)|Blackout]], [[Stormcloud (Energon)|Stormcloud]] — This mould has two 5 mm posts on each arm in robot mode.
*[[Blight (Energon)|Blight]], [[Kickback (Energon)|Kickback]] — The tank mould technically has three Mini-con ports on his weapon, though only one is accessible in vehicle mode, and in robot mode one of them has to form the handle for the gun. In practical terms you're probably only going to get one Mini-con on there.
*[[Barricade (Energon)|Barricade]] — Barricade likes Mini-cons too, but not as much as Steamhammer. He's got three Mini-con posts in robot mode and two in vehicle mode.
*[[Bruticus Maximus (Energon)|Bruticus Maximus]] — Thanks to Barricade he has two Mini-con ports on his thighs. He doesn't have 5 mm post holes for hands, but he does have Mini-con ports on his thumbs when using the tank as an arm, or on his heels if using the tank as a leg.
*[[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] — In addition to his 5 mm fists he has four Mini-con posts, though generally speaking only two are accessible in either mode. Because the posts are on a hinged piece it is possible to expose and use all four at once. His missiles can also fit into his hands, but aren't particularly effective because he holds them at about the midpoint on the missile.
*[[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] and [[Starscream (Armada)|Energon Starscream]] — Based conceptually on the G2 Smokescreen mould, unlike that mould Starscream is highly 5 mm compatible. He has a crazy Energon weapon, with multiple configurations and mini-con ports, so the gun section of the weapon can be used a Mini-con. He has Mini-con pegs on his wings that are accessible in both modes. Oh yeah, and the heads of his missiles are 5 mm, so he can use them as swords if he gets tired of his giant Energon sword.
*[[Rapid Run (Energon)|Rapid Run]] — A redeco of Armada Sideways.
*[[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]], [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]], [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]] — In addition to 5 mm fists, they all have Mini-con ports on the kibble on their forearms. Snow Cat only has a port on his left arm.
*[[Dreadwing (Energon)|Dreadwing]] and [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Mirage]] — This mould loves 5 mm pegs. Including fists each arm has three 5 mm peg holes, as well as a Mini-con port. The toy's missiles are also 5 mm wide, letting him hold them as swords. Oh yeah, and he has 5 mm posts on the insides of his knees.
*[[Shockblast]] and [[Six Shot (Energon)|Six Shot]] — Doesn't have traditional hands, but has plenty of 5 mm post holes.
*[[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] — Doesn't have traditional hands, but has plenty of 5 mm post holes. Has some very inaccessible Mini-con pegs on the missile launchers on his claws.
*[[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] — An awesome redeco of Armada Tidal Wave.
*[[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Galvatron]] and [[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Megatron]] — This same basic design was released twice at two different size scales. They're all 5 mm compatible. The larger version has 6 Mini-con ports in jet mode, and two in robot mode. The tank accessory also features a Mini-con port on the turret's hatch, exactly where such a post was located on the ''Armada'' Megatron figure it was based on. The tank also has four 5 mm post holes on its underside, which are used to dock the tank to the jet.
*[[Alpha Quintesson]] — While he doesn't transform, Alpha Quintesson is positively brimming with 5 mm posts. He has a 5 mm post missile launcher too.

==Cybertron==
While ''Transformers Cybertron'' continued the widespread 5 mm compatibility seen in ''Armada'' and ''Energon'', it was in a more low-key form, as the central gimmick of [[Cyber Key]]s had nothing to do with 5 mm posts whatsoever. Mini-Con ports became rare again, though not unheard of — the focus was now almost entirely on weapons.

===2005===
;MINI-CONS
[[File:Ichibi-peg.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Ichibi's added post actually removes the original Powerlinx function. Whoops.]]
Mini-Cons were rare at the beginning of Cybertron, consisting of [[Safeguard (Cybertron)|Safeguard]] and the [[Recon Mini-Con Team]]. As time went on, however, the line introduced a few more teams, a series of Mini-Con two-packs redecoed from ''Armada'' and ''Energon'' molds, and an assortment of Mini-Cons both old and new as pack-in bonuses. Naturally, these all retained standard Powerlinking capability; listed below are Mini-Cons with additional abilities beyond that.

*[[Checkpoint (Cybertron)|Checkpoint]], [[Stripmine]], and [[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] — Each of these Mini-Cons sports a 5 mm post. Stripmine and Deepdive's posts are hollow.
*[[Scrap Iron (Cybertron)|Scrap Iron]], [[Backblast]], and [[Blastcharge (Cybertron)|Blastcharge]] — Another redeco of the Requiem Blaster, with everything that implies.
*[[Downshift (Armada)|Downshift]], [[Dirt Boss (Armada)|Dirt Boss]], and [[Mirage (Armada)|Mirage]] — Redecoes of the Race Team, with all the same compatibility.
*[[Bulge (GF)|Bulge]], [[Graviton (GF)|Graviton]], and [[Quasar]] — Redecoes of the [[Emergency Mini-Con Team]]. Bulge (copter) was [[retool]]ed to add a 5 mm post to his tail section, and Graviton (crash truck) had a 5 mm peg glued into one of his Powerlinx sockets. Both of these additions were to make their weapon modes hand-held.
*[[Hyakurai]], [[Ichibi]], and [[Mugen]] — Retools of the [[Air Military Mini-Con Team]]. Each one was given 5 mm pegs to make their weapon modes hand-held (even though their main partner, [[Wing Saber (Energon)#Cybertron|Wing Saber]], didn't have 5 mm-compatible hands).
{{-}}
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Vector Prime]] — He is from an earlier, apparently ''Armada''-esque age and his form reflects that. He is here to sport multiple Mini-Con posts, 5 mm fistholes, and a 5 mm-compatible sword. He is not here to blend.
*[[Longrack (Cybertron)|Longrack]] — A retooled ''Armada'' [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]], Longrack still sports a 5 mm post. ([[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]] does not.)
*[[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] — Has one 5 mm hand, and one gun-hand which is a 5 mm post, with "hammer" and "claw" attachments that fit on the end.
*[[Clocker (Cybertron)|Clocker]], [[Swerve (Cybertron)|Swerve]] — Clocker has a 5 mm gun (with two pegs, side by side) and fists to hold it... and also has dual ''exhaust pipe'' accessories that attach (to the undersides of his fists, actually) using hollow 5 mm posts.
*[[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys|Hot Shot]], [[Excellion (Cybertron)|Excellion]], [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]], [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)|Scattorshot]], [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]], [[Override (Cybertron)|Override]], Override GTS, [[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]], [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|Brakedown]], Brakedown GTS, [[Crosswise (Cybertron)|Crosswise]], [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]], [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]] — All feature 5 mm weapons, fists, and vehicle mode mounting points.
*[[Hightail (Cybertron)|Hightail]] — His <s>trombone</s> gun has a 5 mm post, and he has the fists to hold it.
*[[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Overhaul]], [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]] — Though they lack any handheld weapons of their own, these toys have 5 mm fists.
*[[Quickmix (Cybertron)|Quickmix]], [[Cybertron Defense Team|Cybertron Defense]] Hot Shot, Cybertron Defense Red Alert, and Cybertron Defense Scattorshot — Quickmix and all three members of the Cybertron Defense Team have 5 mm-compatible fists and accessories, and bear hollow 5 mm posts for mounting Mini-Cons.
*[[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]] — Metroplex is ''covered'' in hollow 5 mm posts, with a total of 14.
*[[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]] (Deluxe [[Trukk not munky|trukk]]) — A redeco of the ''Armada'' Super-Con Optimus Prime mold with the same functionality. Instead of Over-Run, he includes a special Cyber Key that has the same hole-with-a-post as a Mini-Con, making it capable of attaching to any hollow 5 mm post.
*Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]] — Redecoes of the ''Robots in Disguise'' versions, with all that that implies.

;DECEPTICONS
*[[Buzzsaw (Cybertron)|Buzzsaw]] and [[Runamuck (Cybertron)|Runamuck]] — Retooled versions of ''Armada'' Cyclonus and Side Swipe. Buzzsaw retains most of Cyclonus's compatibility, but has lost the posts on his missile launchers. Runamuck, meanwhile, has lost Sideswipe's accessories in favor of a new 5 mm gun.
*[[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Megatron]], Galvatron, [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]], Ransack GTS, [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]], [[Hardtop (Cybertron)|Hardtop]], [[Swindle (Cybertron)|Swindle]], [[Lugnutz]], and [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] — All these figures have 5 mm hands and weapons.
*[[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]], Dark Crumplezone, [[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (Armada)|Skywarp]], [[Dirt Boss (Cybertron)|Dirt Boss]], [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|Mudflap]], and [[Brushguard]] — These figures have 5 mm hands, though they include no compatible accessories.
*[[Scorponok (Energon)|Dark Scorponok]] — A retooled Scorponok that retains the ''Energon'' toy's features and adds Cyber Key compatibility.
*[[Thunderblast (Decepticon)|Thunderblast]] — Like Arcee before her, Thunderblast's hands are too small and girly for 5 mm holes, so she has them further up on her forearms instead. Her weapon is 5 mm-compatible.
*[[Menasor (Cybertron)|Menasor]] — Like Metroplex, Menasor likes Mini-Cons.
*[[Cannonball (Cybertron)|Cannonball]] — A redeco of Red Alert with the same compatibility.
*[[Scrapmetal (Cybertron individual)|Scrap]][[Scrapmetal (race)|metal]] — All Scrapmetals have 5 mm fists, and in an undocumented feature, their flip-out blades can be hand-held.
*[[Demolishor (Armada)|Demolishor]] — A redeco of ''Armada'' Demolishor with the same features. Instead of Blackout, he includes a Cyber Key with a Mini-Con-style 5 mm hole on the back, similar to the deluxe Optimus Prime's.

;OTHER
*[[Primus]] — Like Unicron before him, Primus sports an assortment of hollow 5 mm posts. His total is far lower (nine), but in Primus's defense, most of Unicron's are on his ring.
*[[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] and [[Unicron/toys|Unicron]] — Both feature 5 mm fists and accessories.

==Classics==
''Classics'' brought back many old ''Transformers'' characters with new toys, and most of those toys were 5 mm compatible. It also introduced yet more Mini-Cons, though hollow 5 mm posts are few and far between in ''Classics.''

==''Transformers'' (2007)==
The live-action movie toyline mostly eschewed the use of the 5 mm system, in part because the integrated nature of the characters' weapons meant a low number of handheld accessories overall. Nevertheless, the reuse of various molds from the previous few years ensured that 5 mm posts continued to appear.

==Animated==
''Transformers Animated'' had few 5 mm-compatible toys, but they existed.

===2008===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Optimus Prime (Animated)/toys|Cybertron Mode Optimus Prime]] - His axe and shield have 5 mm posts, and therefore his hands are also compatible with them.
*Voyager Class Optimus Prime - Both his axe and his water gun use the standard 5 mm posts, and therefore his hands are also compatible.
*The Battle Begins Optimus Prime - His axe uses the 5 mm post for its handle, and his hands are compatible with them... as is the hole in his buttocks.
*[[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] - His hands are open with a 5 mm groove in them to hold such accessories.
*[[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]] - Both his shield and [[lance]] sport 5 mm posts, and his hands are compatible. However, the fingers are sculpted with a gap over the 5 mm holes, so accessories with smaller posts can only be held from the bottom of his hands.
;DECEPTICONS
*[[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] - The inside of his robot mode hands sport 5 mm posts, which can also double as a Mini-Con port. His mace also has a 5 mm hole in it.
*[[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]] — Appropriately enough, Swindle is equipped with a large cannon on a 5 mm post, and has two 5 mm holes with which to use it.
*[[Megatron (Animated)|Leader Class Megatron]] - His swords are mounted on 5 mm handles, and his hands therefore sport 5 mm holes.
*Shadow Blade Megatron - Being a redeco of Leader Class Megatron, he carries over the same 5 mm compatibility.
*[[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] - His gun/crane uses a 5 mm post, so the holes in his forearms and back are compatible with other weapons.

===2009===
;AUTOBOTS
*Freeway Jazz - Being a redeco of Jazz, he shares the same 5 mm-holed hands.
;DECEPTICONS
*Atomic Lugnut - Being a redeco of Lugnut, Atomic Lugnut sports the same posts in his hands, and the same hole on his mace.
*Shockwave Vs. Bumblebee - The Shockwave in this pack, being a redeco of the previous Shockwave, has the same post/ports.

===2010===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] - Arcee's hands can hold 5 mm post weapons. However, her weapons are slightly thicker. This resulted in many a broken thumb.
*[[Rodimus Prime (Animated)|Rodimus Minor]] - The tabs on his bow are 5 mm wide.

===2011===
;AUTOBOTS
*[[Minerva (Animated)|Minerva]] - Being a redeco of Arcee, she shares the same 5 mm-holed hands. But continue to be careful with her slaggin' thumbs!
*[[Sideswipe (Animated)|Sideswipe]] - Being a redeco of Breakdown, Sideswipe shares the 5 mm bow tabs.
;DECEPTICONS
*[[Dead End (Animated)|Dead End]] - Being a redeco of Jazz, he shares the same 5 mm-holed hands.
*[[Drag Strip (Animated)|Drag Strip]] - Being a redeco of Arcee, she shares the same 5 mm-holed hands. But continue to be careful with the swords!
*[[The Motor Master|Motormaster]] - Being a retool of Voyager Class Optimus Prime, his axe and cannon use the same 5 mm posts, and the hands use the same 5 mm holes.
*[[Toxitron (Animated)|Toxitron]] - Being a redeco of Voyager Class Optimus Prime, his axe and cannon use the same 5 mm posts, and the hands use the same 5 mm holes.
*[[Breakdown (Animated)|Breakdown]] - Being a retool of Rodimus Minor, Breakdown shares the same 5 mm tabs on his bow.

==Universe (2008)==
Following in the footsteps of ''Classics'', ''Universe'' toys nearly always featured 5 mm fists and accessories.

==Revenge of the Fallen==
The toys for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie initially returned to the design principles of the previous live-action movie, but in time, 5 mm accessories began to creep back in. This line also introduced an alternate system of interchangeable accessories, the [[C joint]].

==Generations==
Once again, ''Generations'' typically followed the example of ''Classics'' and ''Universe,'' featuring widespread 5 mm compatibility.

==Power Core Combiners==
Much like ''Armada'' and ''Energon'', ''Power Core Combiners'' heavily emphasized compatibility between different toys. The main focus of the line, the "combination" suggested by the title, was a series of "Commander" figures who could combine with interchangeable drone vehicles in a fashion similar to the [[Special Teams]]. Commanders were sold either with sets of drones or in smaller packs with Mini-Cons. These Mini-Cons were also designed to have weapon modes, using 5 mm posts, and as such 5 mm fists proliferated. The Commander figures also featured hollow 5 mm posts for mounting the Mini-Cons, and the drones all featured hollow 5 mm posts as well, leading to [[tvtropes:Main/CombinatorialExplosion|insanity]].

===2010===
[[File:PCC-toy Backwind.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
;MINI-CONS

In additional to the usual capabilities of Mini-Cons, every ''PCC'' Mini-Con has at least one 5 mm post, usually hollow, which enables it to be handheld. Special cases are listed below.

*[[Chopster]], [[Razorbeam]] — The axe Mini-Cons unfortunately have a narrower segment below the 5 mm grip, similar to double-posted weapons, and as such they cannot be held by toys with shallower fist holes (ironically including [[Darkstream]]). The post is also solid, so it can only connect to empty 5 mm holes.
*[[Backwind]], [[Beacon (PCC)|Beacon]], and [[Pinpoint]] — These three have empty 5 mm holes rather than the usual Mini-Con ports. This prevents them from activating Powerlinx gimmicks, but allows them to attach to ordinary 5 mm posts, not just hollow ones.
{{-}}
;AUTOBOTS
[[File:PCC-toy Rallybots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|The Rallybots feature "hidden" 5 mm Powerlinx plugs. Neat! Pity about everything else about them.]]
*[[Skyburst (PCC)|Skyburst]] — One hollow post on his back, and shallow 5 mm fists.
**[[Aerialbot (PCC)|Aerialbots]] — All four drones have hollow 5 mm posts on the top, though the Fighter Jet's is not really useful in combined mode. The helicopters' posts are on top of their rotors, and as such any Mini-Cons or weapons attached there will spin freely.
*[[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]] — For unknown reasons, Huffer has fist holes, but they are far too small to hold 5 mm posts. He has a hollow 5 mm post on his right forearm to make up for this, and another flip-out post on his chest.
*[[Searchlight (PCC)|Searchlight]] — Searchlight is absurdly 5 mm-compatible for a toy of his size. In addition to the usual 5 mm fists, he has 5 mm holes in the sides of his forearms, meant for attaching his vehicle mode rotors. He also has the flip-out hollow chest post typical of ''PCC'' Commander molds originating in two-packs, and a second hollow post on what becomes the underside of his cockpit in vehicle mode. As implied by the forearm holes, his rotors are separate accessories that can connect to any 5 mm peghole (including the one on Backwind's chest).
*[[Double Clutch (PCC)|Double Clutch]] — He has a single hollow post on a hinged panel, which is normally concealed in most modes but can be folded out. For holding weapons he has sideways holes on the inside of his forearms, which are awkward in robot mode but can be used more effectively as shoulder weapon mounts in his torso mode. They're shallow, but with their positioning you probably wouldn't want to give him Chopster anyway.
**[[Rallybot]]s — Each Rallybot has a hollow post that can fold away, located on the rear bumper of the Race Car and on top of the others. Interestingly, the Street Racer reveals a ''second'' post in leg mode, which is necessary since the vehicle mode post ends up on the bottom of the foot.
*[[Leadfoot (PCC)|Leadfoot]] — Like Double Clutch, Leadfoot has sideways forearm holes instead of fists. Unlike Double Clutch and basically everyone else ever, both of his hollow posts are flip-out posts for chest armor, one (normally concealed under his windshield) for his robot chest and one for his combined chest. Both can be used in vehicle mode as well.
*[[Stakeout (PCC)|Stakeout]] — A redeco of Smolder with the same features.
**[[Protectobot (PCC)|Protectobots]] — Redecos of two Aerialbots (Chopper and Fighter Jet) and two Combaticons (APC and Tank).
*[[Steelshot]] — A redeco of Bombshock with the same features.
*[[Grimstone (PCC)|Grimstone]] — Grimstone has shallow fists and a single 5 mm post on his ''tail'' (in robot mode, his back).
**[[Dinobot (PCC)|Dinobots]] — The ''Parasaurolophus'' drone has two side-mounted Mini-Con posts. The others are more or less standard.
*[[Heavytread (PCC)|Heavytread]] — In addition to the usual flip-out chest post and 5 mm hands (irregularly-shaped but usable), Heavytread has a 5 mm peghole on top of his vehicle mode near the forward right corner. This hole is usable in all three modes, ending up approximately on his wrist in robot mode.
*[[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] — A redeco of Mudslinger with the same compatibility. Since he has 5 mm fists, [[Bomb-Burst (PCC)|Bomb-Burst]] gets the official weapon mode that's technically a fanmode on Chainclaw.

;DECEPTICONS
[[File:PCC-toy Sledge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Sledge and his weird chest-peg assembly.]]
*[[Bombshock (PCC)|Bombshock]] — Bombshock has two hollow posts quite close to each other: one is on top of his turret (ending up on the back of his torso mode head), while the other is between his cannons. Both end up on his back in robot mode, in varying configurations depending on how his kibble is arranged. Like his wavemate Skyburst, he has shallow 5 mm fists, so no axes for him.
**[[Combaticon (PCC)|Combaticons]] — All four drones have top-mounted posts which are accessible in both modes, though because of the APC's transformation, Mini-Cons attached to it in combined mode will appear to extend from the robot's knee.
*[[Smolder (PCC)|Smolder]] - Smolder has 5 mm fists, and a flip-out hollow 5 mm post on his chest. He has a second hollow post on the roof of his vehicle mode, which in his other modes ends up in an awkward but usable position on the back (robot mode) or front (torso mode) of his right shoulder.
*[[Mudslinger (PCC)|Mudslinger]] - Mudslinger has a 5 mm post near the back of his vehicle mode, accessible in all three modes... which ends up on the front of his left knee in robot mode, and the ''inside'' of his right knee in torso mode. Good luck making use of that. At least he has 5 mm fists.
**[[Destructicon (PCC)|Destructicons]] — All four Destructicons have top-mounted posts that remain accessible in limb mode. The Heavy Hauler's post can fold away like those of the Rallybots.
*[[Icepick (PCC)|Icepick]] — Oddly enough for the ''PCC'' line, Icepick has no 5 mm pegholes at all, with the effect that [[Chainclaw (PCC)|Chainclaw's]] 5 mm weapon mode was omitted from the instructions. His compatibility consists of a hollow 5 mm post on his right shoulder and a fold-out one on his chest, both usable in all three modes.
*[[Sledge (PCC)|Sledge]] — Like his wavemates, Sledge is odd: he has shallow wrist holes (this time located ''under'' his forearms) instead of fists, and unlike his fellow two-pack-originated Commanders, he has no flip-out posts at all (maybe Leadfoot stole his?). Instead he has a single hollow post on his chest that serves all three modes, and another on his shovel.
*[[Crankcase (Movie)|Crankcase]] — A redeco of Huffer with the same abilities.
**[[Destron (PCC)|Destrons]] — Redecos of two Aerialbots (Recon Plane and Combat Helicopter) and two Combaticons (Missile Carrier and Armored Car).
*[[Darkstream]] — A redeco of Skyburst, incapable of any interaction with Razorbeam other than wearing him on his back.
*[[Windburn]] — A redeco of Searchlight, retaining his capabilities.
*[[Steamhammer (PCC)|Steamhammer]] — Steamhammer is unusual among five-pack-originated Commanders: his torso mode has a hollow 5 mm post on his chest! This post is basically inaccessible in his other modes, so he has a second one on his roof, which in robot mode is on a block hanging awkwardly from his elbow.
**[[Constructicon (PCC)|Constructicons]] — The Constructicons' posts are all well-placed, with no particular unusual qualities.
*[[Skyhammer (PCC)|Skyhammer]] —
*[[Over-Run (PCC)|Over-Run]] — A redeco of Leadfoot with the same abilities.
**[[Stunticon (PCC)|Stunticons]] — Redecos of two Rallybots (Race Car and Tuner) and two Destructicons (Armored Truck and Armored Junker).
*[[Undertow (PCC)|Undertow]] — Similar to Sledge, Undertow has one fixed hollow 5 mm post, accessible in all modes.

==Transformers (2010)==
The [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]] continued to make widespread use of 5 mm posts and holes (though perhaps not as widespread as some previous lines). [[C joint]]s proliferated as well, leading to a veritable golden age of interchangeable weapons.

==Dark of the Moon==
[[File:Ironhide-MechTechWeaponsCombo-5mmPost.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|Ya feelin' lucky, pardner?]]
When it came to ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'', the smaller and larger [[size class]]es were respectively split between the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] and [[MechTech]] brandings. While C joint compatibility was further established between the two, the 5 mm post absolutely ''flourished''.

Nearly all of the MechTech toys use 5 mm posts for their MechTech weapons, with the line also emulating the [[Stealth Force]] [[attack mode]]s that were featured in the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|film]]. As a result, the toys come with a ''very'' large number of ports, hidden or otherwise, for the weapons to peg into for each figure. The larger figures even have MechTech ports on the ''weapons themselves'', and the [[packaging]] blurb encourages the user to create "new weapons" by combining then.

This line also introduced a minor innovation: self-covering pegholes. Many MechTech toys have 5 mm holes that contain circular plugs on springs. Inserting a weapon handle depresses the plug; when the weapon is removed, the spring pushes it back up to sit flush with surrounding panels.

Each of the Cyberverse "Action Sets" also contains at least a single, large, removable, spring-loaded (but not always [[missile]]-firing) weapon integrated into the set itself, allowing interchangeability between the weapons of both Cyberverse Action Sets and MechTech figures. The Cyberverse [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], in particular, features ''six'' weapons (one functional) that are mounted via 5 mm posts and holes.

==Prime==
[[File:ArmsMicronPackin-TakTomSite.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Arms Microns can be combined into some truly ridiculous weapons.]]

The [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|''Prime'' toyline]] use 5 mm pegs and ports for most of its weapons. [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s [[Deployer (WFC)|deployers]] also use 5 mm pegs and ports to attach to him.

The Japanese version of the line takes this to a higher level though, with the "[[Arms Micron]]" play-pattern. All non-[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] toys in the line have been [[retool]]ed to include several extra 5 mm sockets, and include a snap-together Mini-Con partner that transforms into some form of weapon. There are also numerous Arms Microns sold as individuals. The Microns have multiple 5 mm posts and sockets, and can be combined to form "Combo Weapons" like the [[Nebula Scythe]], and "Super Combo Weapons" like the [[Star Saber (Arms Micron)|Star Saber]] and the [[Galaxy Launcher]]. While they will occasionally highlight these specific named combinations, the marketing for ''Prime'' in Japan ''heavily'' plays up the idea of just going nuts with your own custom Micron combinations.
{{-}}

==Construct-Bots==
The ''[[Construct-Bots]]'' toyline is primarily based on 5 mm pegs for interchangeability of armor and weapons. Even the faction symbols are on 5 mm pegs!

==''Robots in Disguise'' (2015)==
Similarly to ''Prime'', its successor series also uses 5 mm post near-universally. And much like the Arms Micron series for the Japanese release of ''Prime'', this series includes Weaponizer Mini-Cons which include at least one post to allow them to be held or mounted on other figures in the line. Many of them have multiple posts, and one mold in particular ([[Lancelon]]) has one of those posts as a double post, with a 3mm post extending from the one on his back. However, they do not appear to be meant to combine the same way that Arms Microns are.

==War for Cybertron trilogy==
[[File:WFC-Siege-C.O.M.B.A.T.-System-examples.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb]]
The [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] consists of a standardized set of 5 mm ports across most figures. Weaponizers, Modulators, and Fossilizers are all Deluxe-sized figures that can form armor and weaponry for C.O.M.B.A.T.-equipped toys. Micromasters, making a return from G1, can combine to form Mini-Con-esque "weapon" modes. [[Battle Master]]s, much like the Targetmasters of old, can also transform into dedicated weapons usable for larger Transformers.
{{-}}

==Notes==
{{picsneeded|LEGO compatibility example}}
*Due to [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]]'' series toys sharing many of the same designers from the latter days of G1, a great many of the figures utilize 5 mm weaponry pegs. This, of course, can give even the smallest 5 mm compatible Transformer the ability to carry 5" chrome swords and gigantic guns of [[Burning justice|Burning Justice]].
*Other Takara lines have also used the 5 mm pegs, including Battle Beasts transforming playsets and the Robolinks toy line.
*The 5 mm post/hole system is also used extensively by companies such as Bandai and Tomy. The Machine Robo Rescue (not to be confused with the trademark-interfering Machine Robot Rescue from ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Ratchet (Universe)|Ratchet]] and [[Inferno (Universe)|Inferno]]'s packages) and Zoid Blox lines all utilize it.
*While {{w|Lego|LEGO}} toys do not make use of 5 mm posts in and of themselves, they frequently use a style of hollow connector pin that coincidentally fits snugly into 5 mm holes. [http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2780 One particularly common part] consists entirely of two such pins back-to-back, making it a workable add-on handle if you want your Mini-Cons to be hand-held. However, there can be danger of the piece ''snapping'' when trying to get it into a Powerlinx post, due to the differing widths of LEGO elements.

The release of the first three movies in the [[live-action film series]] were accompanied by the publication of multiple pieces of tie-in media that supplemented and expanded on the world of the films. As was perhaps inevitable when multiple licensees were producing unrelated pieces of fiction, these stories did not always line up with one another one hundred percent, but most tend to fit together, and over time—mostly through the efforts of [[IDW Publishing]] writer [[John Barber]]—notable discrepancies would be explained away, enabling the creation of this '''expanded universe timeline'''.

However, following the end of the original trilogy of movies, most tie-in media has ceased publication, and new information revealed in the subsequent movies ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' has appeared significantly and fundamentally irreconcilable with the larger timeline the tie-in media established. Hence, this timeline covers only the first three movies, and their associated media, including reference books, novels, comics, animation, and more. It's not to say that there are ''no'' contradictions to be found here, but time has papered over many of them, and this article relates details as generally as possible to minimize any confusion, with footnotes to explain any particularly egregious instances.

==Prehistory==
===The Very Beginning===
[[File:Defianceissue4-creation.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85]]
According to legend, the Transformer race begins when the AllSpark falls from the sky onto the barren world that will become Cybertron, giving life to the planet, and to the first Cybertronian, [[Primus]], {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} and from Primus and the cube come the [[Dynasty of Primes]], a race of trans-dimensional beings able to walk across space and time through the use of [[sarcophagus|sarcophagi]]. The Primes live in contentment until the distressing revelation that the AllSpark's power is not infinite, requiring the energy of suns in order to sustain its constant flow of [[Energon]]. Despite their powers, the Dynasty find themselves unable to find any stars to sacrifice to the AllSpark, and so the AllSpark responds to their need, giving life to the next of many generations of Cybertronians that will follow. These new creations are able to exploit the properties of Transformium to reconfigure their bodies into [[alternate mode]]s that will enable them to aid the Dynasty in their task: [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] to search for suns, and [[Constructicon (ROTF)|construction drones]] to build the [[Star Harvester]]s that will absorb and convert the stars' energy into Energon. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} The AllSpark also creates the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the key that will activate these harvesters. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Revenge of the Fallen (novel)}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen4-theyshallpay.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Fallen in the Hiz-ouse!]]
One of the Primes comes to believe that the AllSpark is "speaking" to him, and, in his pursuit of power, he breaks the Dynasty's one law: he destroys the sun of a life-bearing world. This prompts the Dynasty to establish a new restriction, requiring them all to be present for the activation of a harvester. Undeterred, the renegade Prime secretly handpicks a selection of Cybertronians to be part of a new faction under his leadership- the [[Decepticon]]s. He builds a facsimile Matrix to carry on his work, but the counterfeit Matrix proves inferior when his next star-harvesting attempt backfires and floods his body with primal energies, driving him to total insanity. For his repeated infraction, the Prime is cast out of the Dynasty by his brethren and dubbed "[[The Fallen]]". {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

===17,000 BC to 10,000 BC===
[[File:TOTF4 fallen vs dynasty.jpg|left|thumb|225px]]
Circa 17,000 BC, The Fallen brings his Decepticons to [[Earth]] and begins the construction of a star harvester, knowing that this attack on a life-bearing world will draw his brothers into the trap he has prepared. One of the Fallen's Seekers, [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]], unable to countenance his master's dark acts any longer, rebels, prompting the Fallen to warp him and several of his other Decepticons away to battle elsewhere. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}} Subsequently, the Primes arrive to stop The Fallen's plan, but find themselves unprepared for his strength, and are slaughtered in quick succession until only [[Prima|one]] remains. The last survivor uses the combined lifeforce of his departed fellows to banish The Fallen to another plane of reality, sealing his sarcophagus to prevent him from returning. For his final act, the last Prime gives up his own life to fuse his body, and the bodies of his brothers, into a [[Tomb of the Primes|tomb]] that will serve as the resting place of the Matrix. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}<ref>In ''Revenge of the Fallen'', when Jetfire recounts the Fallen's battle with the rest of the Dynasty, he projects an image of ''multiple'' surviving Primes forging their bodies into the tomb, not just one. But per the comics, Jetfire wasn't even there when this went down, and he's old and crazy anyway.</ref> The Fallen's Seekers begin searching the planet for the Matrix, but bereft of their master, their mission eventually degenerates into a series of interpersonal conflicts and challenges. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}}

[[File:Foundation1 freedom.jpg|thumb|We stand united for all time! Right guys? Guys? For all time? Guys?]]
Over the following 7,000 years, with none to tend the AllSpark, Cybertron's energy supply steadily diminishes, leading the Cybertronians to split into various warring factions, fighting over what little they had left. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} The ferocity of this war wipes out any remaining traces of the Prime Dynasty and its descendants, save two: Optimus, hidden away to keep him safe, his knowledge of his true heritage lost, {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}} and the elderly [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], the only robot who knows the stories of the Dynasty and the AllSpark to be anything more than legends. Recovering Optimus from hiding, Sentinel Prime rallies a small group to his side and with their aid, he uncovers and raises the lost AllSpark from beneath the planet's surface. The scientific skill of [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] is employed to teleport a sun into Cybertronic space, which proves able to feed the AllSpark without being absorbed, thereby restoring energy and peace to Cybertron. The AllSpark is enshrined in a temple at [[Simfur]], built by the [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} and protected by the [[Knights of Cybertron]], an elite group assembled by the antiquarian [[Alpha Trion (ROTF)|Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|Prepare for Battle (website)|Prepare for Battle}}

Sentinel reveals Optimus's heritage to him and offers him the position of leader of the new unified Cybertron, but Optimus does not believe that he is a Prime, and turns the offer down. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Instead, a dual leadership system is employed, with Optimus in charge of the archaeological [[Science Division]], and his brother-in-arms [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] in command of the militaristic [[Defense Force]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} However, Megatron had overheard Sentinel and Optimus's conversation, and begins to resent Optimus thanks to the knowledge that he was always "second best" in Sentinel's eyes. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}
[[File:Foundation 2 Driller attack.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Around the same time, Megatron and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] rescue [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] from a [[Driller]], the largest indigenous subterranean predator on Cybertron. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Shockwave becomes fascinated with the creature, and his studies of it eventually lead to Drillers being tamed and used as beasts of burden. Shockwave keeps one as a "pet", which he trains and equips for military purposes. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon novelization}}

Optimus and Megatron successfully lead Cybertron together for two generations, until the rise in activity of [[Malcontent]]s who oppose the current government gives Megatron's rage and resentment an outlet, allowing him to claim the primary position of power in the name of protecting Cybertron. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Not long after, a dig by Optimus's Science Division uncovers The Fallen's intact sarcophagus. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} [[File:Defiance4 Megatron TheFallen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|[[Wiki:Johnny The Homocidal Maniac|Megatron needs to feed his wall blood]].]] Through its eyes, the renegade Prime sees in Megatron the making of an apprentice, and he makes contact with him after he has been badly wounded following a battle with invading [[Ejoornian|aliens]] from the nearby [[Eshems Nebula]]. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Under The Fallen's influence, Megatron reshapes his Defense Force into a military dictatorship that becomes the new incarnation of the Decepticons. Simultaneously, further archaeological discoveries lead Optimus to realize that Sentinel was correct, and that he is indeed descended from the Primes. Galvanized by this realization, he raises a small army of followers, the [[Autobot]]s, to stand against Megatron. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}} Following The Fallen's direction, Megatron has the starship ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' constructed; learning of this, the Autobots refurbished an older craft, the [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]], in preparation for Megatron's next move. Soon, the ''Nemesis'' leaves the planet, captained by [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and with The Fallen's sarcophagus on board, to seek out Earth and the Matrix. Following the departure of the ''Nemesis'', true war finally breaks out once more on Cybertron, and Optimus's Autobots and Megatron's Decepticons battle for control of the planet over untold years. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

In the very early stages of the war, the ancient technology known as [[Power Core Combination]] is lost, and in an attempt to recreate it, the Decepticons develop the monstrous [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 32|TFCC #32}}

===10,000 BC onwards===
[[File:Foundation3 sentinels torch.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|"...and he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow."]]
As Cybertron is devastated by the worsening war, with Optimus Prime unwilling to take the decisive actions that will bring the conflict to an end, Sentinel Prime is forced to make a deal with Megatron to seek out another planet whose resources they can exploit to restore their homeworld. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} The chosen planet is the resting place of the Primes' Star Harvester. Sentinel recreates the Primes' lost [[space bridge]] technology, fashioning hundreds of pillars that will form a bridge large enough to teleport Cybertron itself across the cosmos, telling the Autobots it will be used to instantaneously teleport soldiers, supplies and refugees into and out of the battlefield, allowing them to defeat the Decepticons. The pillars are loaded onto a second [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], while a strike team led by Optimus attacks Simfur in order to activate the control pillar for the space bridge by bringing it into contact with the AllSpark. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} While most of the Autobots keep the Decepticons busy, sisters [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] successfully reach the AllSpark and activate the pillar, which Elita then delivers to Sentinel Prime. [[File:Foundation4 ark explodes.jpg|thumb|225px]] Sentinel takes his Ark to ostensibly collect Optimus and the others from Simfur, but upon arrival, the ship is attacked by Starscream, who is unaware of the secret deal his leader has made with the Prime. Starscream's attack triggers a huge explosion which consumes the Ark, leaving the Autobots to believe Sentinel, the space bridge and all others aboard have been destroyed. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}{{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} Unbeknownst to any present, however, the Ark has not been destroyed: the space bridge tech aboard has in fact teleported it away through space and time, with all on board knocked into stasis by the blast. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

Consumed with grief and rage at the apparent death of his mentor, Optimus Prime resolves to kill Megatron outright, and storms his fortress with aid from Ironhide. {{storylink|Transformers: Foundation|Foundation #1-3}} Concurrently, Wheeljack leads the rest of the Autobots in a second strike on Simfur, where they are able to overcome the weakened Decepticons and capture the AllSpark, removing it from the machine that brought Cybertron its sun. The sun disappears, plunging the planet into darkness, and Prime breaks off his confrontation with Megatron to save Ironhide from Shockwave and Starscream. Although he did not cross the line of no return, Optimus's actions forever taint his relationship with Elita-One, driving a wedge between the two friends. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:TitanMag-BumblebeeMegatronAllSpark.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Where are those transmissions you intercepted? WHAT have you DONE with those plans?"]]
Resolving to keep the power of the captive AllSpark out of Megatron's hands, Optimus Prime has it moved to various locations around the planet before deciding to launch it into space. In an effort to disguise his plan, most of the Autobots are stationed at Simfur as misdirection, with only a small unit led by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] guarding its true hiding place at [[Tyger Pax]]. Unfortunately, Megatron is able to sense the AllSpark's true location and attacks Tyger Pax, crushing Bumblebee's vocal processor during the ensuing battle and robbing him of the ability to speak. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} Simultaneously, at Simfur, Optimus Prime is attacked by a drone sent by Megatron before he can launch the AllSpark, so he entrusts the task to his assistant, [[Arctus]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 1|Prequel: Optimus Prime}} Observing the AllSpark as it takes off, Megatron immediately pursues it into space, {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} but is delayed by an Autobot tractor beam before he can stop it from plunging into the [[Alkaris Anomaly]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prequel: Megatron}} Cosmically drawn to the location of the star harvester left behind by The Fallen, {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} the cube is disgorged in the [[Solar System]] and crash-lands on Earth, in what will become [[Colorado]]. Megatron summons [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] to occupy the Autobots delaying him, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prequel: Megatron}} and follows the cube into the anomaly, but is spat out in the far reaches of the galaxy. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}}

Megatron and the AllSpark are not the only ones scattered across space: the overzealous Brawl detonates a [[foldspace warhead]] that warps himself, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] to the four corners of the universe. Ratchet helps quell an alien civil war, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3|Lost in Space 1}} Brawl defeats psychic apparitions of his worst fears, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 4|Lost in Space 2}} Ironhide encounters digital "ghosts" on a derelict ship with some kind of ancient connection to the AllSpark {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost in Space 3}} and Jazz is nearly overwhelmed by the lure of a planet of pure information {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost in Space 4}} before they are able to return to Cybertron. But their return proves a short-lived one: without the AllSpark and the energy it provided, Cybertron begins to atrophy, and many of the Transformers depart the planet to find the AllSpark and restore life to their world. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}} Optimus Prime's best and brightest depart aboard the Ark, while [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] takes a large force aboard a second ship christened the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'', including most of Megatron's elite troops, {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}} leaving Shockwave in charge of what few Decepticons remain on the planet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} The ''Nemesis'' is stymied by a volley of Autobot mines that badly damage the craft before it gets too far, forcing the Decepticons to return to Cybertron for repairs. After being fixed up, the ''Nemesis'' resumes the chase several cycles later, but have lost valuable ground to the Ark. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}} The Ark and ''Nemesis'' crews pass the majority of the next twelve thousand years in stasis aboard their ships. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

[[File:MoviePrequel2-Megatrondownfall.jpg|thumb|[[Wiki:Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|YOU LEFT HULK IN THE POOL!]]]]
Out in space, the original ''Nemesis'' and Sentinel's Ark (still jinking through space and time) zero in on the energy signature of the AllSpark, and are both crippled when the Ark blindly teleports directly into the same physical space as the ''Nemesis''. The Ark makes one final jump, leaving a lingering space bridge portal in its wake; after setting the ruined ''Nemesis'' down on the dead moon of a nearby gas giant, the Decepticons board the smaller ship ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'' and follow the Ark through the portal at The Fallen's urging, leaving his sarcophagus behind. Both ships are hurled into [[#1960s|the future]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

Eventually, after "countless solar spans" of searching, Megatron zeroes in on the AllSpark's resting place on Earth. While on the approach, he detects a distress signal being broadcast by the wrecked ''Nemesis'' and detours to investigate, but when The Fallen learns of the fate of the AllSpark, he furiously commands Megatron to carry on his course. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} Upon entering Earth's atmosphere, however, Megatron's navigation system malfunctions, causing him to crash in the [[Arctic]], where he is frozen solid, trapped in stasis.<ref>The Wal-Mart exclusive "Beginnings" story claims Megatron crash-landed on Earth "four million years" ago, which is in stark contradiction to the dates included everywhere else, including the films themselves.</ref> {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}}

The earliest [[human]] civilizations form on Earth, and build their monuments over remains of Transformer activity on the planet. Around 2560 BC, construction of the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] around the solar harvester is completed, then later, in 1200 BC, the Tomb of the Primes is hidden beneath El Deir in [[Petra (Earth)|Petra]]. A riddle is crafted to mark the tomb's location: "When dawn alights the dagger's tip, three kings will reveal the doorway." Although some of the Seekers learn of this riddle during their search of the planet, none are able to actually solve it before the march of time sends most (if not all) of them into stasis. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Upon their return to shore, Witwicky's first mate [[Reginald Danco]] brings his captain to the [[Boston Secure Hospital]], where his ramblings catch the attention of the United States government. On New Year's Day, [[1898]], gentleman adventurers [[Walter Simmons]] and [[Theodore Joseph Wells]] are drafted by [[President of the United States|presidential order]] to investigate his claims.

Believing the signal to be The Fallen himself and desiring revenge, Jetfire sheds his disguise as a portion of the cruiser [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Maine (ACR-1)|USS Maine]] (inadvertently starting the Spanish–American War in the process) and flies to the Arctic, resulting in a confrontation with Simmons's group that culminates in the humans blasting the ice out from underneath the Seeker, sending him to the ocean's depths. North does not survive the battle, and his death convinces the group to dedicate itself to protecting Earth against future Cybertronian threats. {{storylink|Original}} Simmons takes charge of the operation to excavate and study the frozen "Mega-Man", as he calls it, and an environment dome is constructed around the site by [[1899]], which is eventually expanded to become a fully-manned base which serves as the group's [[Sector Seven High Arctic Base|Alpha Command Post]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}}

When divers are sent to examine the cube, it unleashes a cosmic "scream" of sorts, which echoes across space and is felt by Shockwave, just after he has killed Chromia in the middle of a battle on Cybertron.

At Jetfire's touch, the cube releases a surge of Energon which overloads his systems and [[AllSpark Mutation|brings to life]] a [[Four original AllSpark Mutations|crane, a car, a radio and a gun]]. Jetfire escapes via [[space bridge]], while the humans are forced to break open the dam holding back the river to "drown" the AllSpark Mutations and the cube.

The crash of the Ark is detected by both the United States and the Soviet Union, and a "space race" begins to be the first to reach the Moon and plunder this alien treasure. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} Incorrectly believing Bill Simmons can tell them something about the moon event and America's plans, the Soviets relocate their prisoner to holding facilities at [[Soviet Research Station Oktober]] at the beginning of [[1962]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 2}} In [[1963]], the Soviet Union launches the space probe [[Luna 4]], which captures images of the Moon's surface, including the space bridge pillars as the Decepticons are in the process of transporting them, prompting Soundwave to take action to conceal their movements. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} To this end, in [[1964]], the Decepticons' human-form [[Alice (ROTF)|Pretender]] operative infiltrates the Soviet space program by killing Spetsnaz agent [[Alisa Morozov]] and adopting her appearance. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 2}}

That same year, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird jet makes its first flight. At an unknown point in time during the next three decades, one of the jets malfunctions and crashes on top of Jetfire while he is wandering through a desert, and he adopts its form. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

In the summer of [[1965]], as the Soviets launch the [[Luna 6]] probe, the Pretender uses her Morozov disguise to penetrate Research Station Oktober and massacre the scientists there, in order to prevent the relay of any data from the probe. Joe Danco also dies in the attack, but Bill Simmons is able to escape. In the process, the Pretender learns of the presence of two other Cybertronians on Earth, but without the knowledge that they are his leaders Megatron and Shockwave, Soundwave disregards them as rumors and elects to focus on more important matters for the time being, making a deal with the sole surviving scientist, [[Voskhod]], to curtail any subsequent Soviet investigations into the Ark. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 2}}

Two months later, Bill Simmons successfully returns to the United States, but when he attempts to contact Sector Seven, Soundwave zeroes in on his position and sends the Pretender to take him out. Bill locates his wife's deli and meets Seymour for the first time, giving him contact information for Sector Seven; he subsequently disappears in an explosion when the Pretender attacks. Seymour goes on to make contact with Sector Seven, meets his great-grandfather Walter, and grows up to join the organization as one of its most prestigious agents. The fate of Bill Simmons remains unknown. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 3}} As a consequence of this escapade, Soundwave becomes aware of the existence of Sector Seven. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

[[File:Dotm-Arkreflection.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"...then we'll ''really'' have to land on the moon! Invent NASA and tell them to get off their fannies!"]]
On [[July 16]], [[1969]], [[NASA]] carries out the [[Apollo 11]] mission, successfully sending astronauts [[Neil Armstrong]] and [[Buzz Aldrin]] to the Moon. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} A strategic twenty-one-minute blackout is staged by Sector Seven at NASA command to keep the true purpose of the moon landing a secret, and Walter Simmons directs the men in their investigation of the Ark. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

Simultaneously, Sector Seven also exploits the fact that the eyes of the entire world are focused on Apollo 11 to stage two additional concurrent operations. First, they initiate the test flight of their own spacecraft, the ''[[Ghost 1]]'', created from Megatron's reverse-engineered Cybertronian technology and captained by [[Samuel Walker]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}} Incorrectly believing that this craft is more important than the Apollo 11, Soundwave focuses all his attentions on it, leaving him unable to stop Armstrong and Aldrin from exploring the Ark. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} The ''Ghost 1'' is inadvertently sucked through a wormhole and deposited in a distant solar system, its arrival drawing the attentions of Optimus Prime's Autobots and Starscream's Decepticons. When the ship sets down on a barren planet, Starscream makes first contact with Walker and his crew and learns that Megatron and the AllSpark are on Earth, then turns on the humans in order to keep this information secret from the other Decepticons. Allying with Optimus Prime to survive the dangers of the alien world and also sharing this information with him, the crew of the ''Ghost 1'' give their lives to save the Autobot leader from Starscream. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

[[File:Movie-Megatronfrozen.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|I WAS FROZEN TODAY!]]
For their second operation, Sector Seven finally carry out the much-delayed move of Megatron form the Arctic to Hoover Dam. Sabotage by Soviet agent [[Sergei Tasarov]] causes the convoy transporting Megatron to crash, resulting in damage to the cooling systems that allows the Decepticon leader to thaw out. Thomas Kinnear and Philip Nolan sacrifice their lives to ensure he is re-frozen {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}} and successfully delivered to Hoover Dam. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

A second American manned moon landing is carried out in November 1969, to continue excavation and research of the remains of the Ark. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

===1970s===
From [[1970]] to [[1972]], the United States stages three further manned missions to the moon to continue plundering the Ark. Incensed over his failure to stop the Apollo 11 mission, Soundwave has [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] scout for viable agents within the American space program, and makes contact with a NASA accountant named Gould. By tapping the stock market to provide Gould with all the money he desires, Soundwave procures his services to manipulate the NASA budget and make further moon missions financially unfeasible. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} Consequently, the sixth and final mission, launched in December 1972, is deemed the last, and the astronauts trigger explosives to hide the wreck of the Ark beneath lunar dust. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}
[[File:RisingStorm2 soundwave voskhod.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
Also in 1972, Soundwave employs his Soviet agents to ensure that the first Russian manned mission is cancelled. Soundwave spends the remainder of the decade manipulating his pawns, and "recruiting" more and more human agents in various areas of the American and Soviet government to ensure the Ark is never re-discovered. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Continuing their use of Shockwave's technology to further their nuclear agenda, the Soviet Union spend most of this decade creating the [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant]]. The United States also continue with the construction of more nuclear facilities, including the [[Three Mile Island]] power plant. A botched experiment with the energy of the AllSpark at this facility on [[March 28]], [[1979]] leads to a partial core meltdown. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4|Movie Prequel #4}}

That same year, the Witwicky home in [[Springfield]], [[Missouri]], is sold by Clarence Witwicky's son [[Herbert Witwicky|Herbert]], and the proceeds are shared between his daughter and five sons, including [[Ben Witwicky|Ben]] and [[Ron Witwicky|Ronald]]. {{storylink|Interlude}}

Also in 1979, content that his plans to keep the Ark concealed are solid, Soundwave elects to return to the ''Nemesis'' and consult with The Fallen. He convenes with Gould to inform him of his departure, and meets Gould's son [[Dylan Gould|Dylan]], who will eventually take over his father's position as Decepticon liaison. Soundwave's crew depart Earth aboard the ''Longshot'', {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} save for the stumbling, bumbling [[Space Case (DOTM)|Space Case]], who is left behind on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Jazz}} With no space bridge to teleport them, their journey takes over a decade. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

===1980s===
Unmanned probes are sent by the Soviet Union to the moon, where they uncover the remains of the Ark and return to Earth with a fuel cell salvaged from the ship's engine. The cell is experimented upon at Chernobyl, leading to a catastrophic nuclear accident on [[April 26]], [[1986]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

===1990s===
[[Sam Witwicky]] is born to [[Ron Witwicky|Ronald]] and [[Judy Witwicky]].<ref>Hasbro's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/timeline/sam_witwicky%27s_birth Vector Sigma timeline] states Sam was born [[October 10]], [[1990]]. However, Sam's driving license in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' reads [[September 13]] [[1991]]. Presumably, Sam's date of birth was adjusted so he would be 18 when he enrolled at college in 2009.</ref>

The Soviet Union collapses in [[1991]]. Knowledge of the captive Shockwave slips between the cracks; no digital records of his existence are kept, and the paper trail is lost in the chaos of the regime's fall, so he remains frozen and forgotten in Siberia. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Sometime around [[1993]], the ''Longshot'' completes its return journey to the resting place of the ''Nemesis''.<ref>The ''Longshot'' leaves Earth in 1979 and returns in 2007; assuming an equal amount of journey time on both trips, its return to the ''Nemesis'' would occur around this year.</ref> Soundwave presents The Fallen with one of the space bridge pillars, and is then informed of Megatron's visit during his pursuit of the AllSpark. Realizing that Megatron must be one of the imprisoned Cybertronians learned of on Earth, Soundwave immediately departs on a return journey to the planet; he has most of the crew put in stasis for the trip. After Soundwave leaves, The Fallen activates the space bridge pillar, sundering space and time and finally liberating himself from his sarcophagus prison. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

In [[1998]], Jetfire takes advantage of the SR-71 Blackbird's retirement from service to hole up in the [[Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum]] and goes into stasis in vehicle mode. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Jetfire's profile}}

In the former, only Starscream, Barricade and Blackout arrive, in scattered locations around the world, with the date given as 2003 in accordance with the date given for the Mars Rover's destruction in the movie's teaser trailer. In the latter, Bonecrusher, Brawl and Wreckage are also part of the group, and they all arrive together in Afghanistan, with the end of the story implying they have arrived just before the beginning of the movie in 2007. The "Planetfall" version is used in this timeline because both ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' went on to corroborate it, and base a portion of their plots around it. However, ''Alliance'' also presented Wreckage as being captured by Sector Seven four months prior to the movie, contradicting the very narrow timeframe "Planetfall" suggests, indicating that the most "correct" combination of the stories is to place the events of "Planetfall" in 2003, per both the trailer and the original prequel.</ref> {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

Jazz is temporarily distracted from the current dilemma when a stray energy trace leads him to Space Case, still stuck on Earth, trying to rob a gas station. Jazz bests the Decepticon in battle and leaves him trapped in a cave. {{storylink|Transformers: Jazz}} The Autobots then use Archibald Witwicky's glasses to track the AllSpark and their captive friends to Hoover Dam. Unfortunately, in the process, they inadvertently lead the way for Starscream's Decepticons, who attack the base and bring Megatron back online.

In his constant monitoring of the planet, Soundwave discovers the article, realizes that Shockwave is the second captive Cybertronian hidden on the planet, and begins a search for him. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

The Decepticons fall for the ruse, which proves to the final straw for Megatron's disenfranchised troops: they all abandon their leader to his fate. Megatron is ordered to depart Earth by Optimus Prime, {{storylink|Decepticons Attack}} but naturally, this is not an instruction he takes to heart; instead, he forgoes his pride and finally adopts an Earth alternate mode to remain hidden on the planet, holing up in the deserts of [[Namibia]], [[Africa]] with the hatchlings from the ''Nemesis''.<ref>While ''[[Transformers: Starscream]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'' are both written by [[John Barber]] and are clearly intended to tie in to one another, Megatron appears in his ''Dark of the Moon'' body in the former, but in his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body in the latter. Barber [https://twitter.com/TheJohnBarber/status/70847010252656640 confirms] he is supposed to be in his ''Dark of the Moon'' form in ''Rising Storm'', but did not appear that way because of either an artwork mistake or an active desire on the part of Hasbro and/or Paramount to not feature the body in that comic. This is not uncommon: his ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body was likewise the subject of secrecy in 2009, and Shockwave, Wheeljack and Mirage all featured different designs from their movie selves in ''Rising Storm'' (albeit with explanations for their changed appearances).</ref> Starscream soon joins him there, but before long, the two have yet another altercation, prompting the second-in-command to finally break away from Megatron and begins reorganizing the scattered Decepticons under his own leadership. {{storylink|Transformers: Starscream}}

===2010 to 2013===
[[File:RisingStorm4 shockers vs prime.jpg|left|thumb|275px]]
The following year,<ref>''Rising Storm'' refers to Arcee having received wounds "in Egypt last year", placing the mini-series somewhere in 2010.</ref> Soundwave's efforts bear fruit and Shockwave's resting place is at last located. This knowledge, coupled with all Soundwave has told him of the Ark on the Moon and his manipulation of humans over the last half-century, galvanizes Megatron into putting back into motion his millennia-old plan with Sentinel Prime. Before the plan can resume, the Decepticon house must be put back in order; to this end, Megatron liberates Shockwave and charges him with forcing the vast majority of his disenfranchised Decepticon followers back into line. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave's plan entails allowing a brain unit scrap drone to "escape" from Decepticon clutches and make contact with Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee in [[Philadelphia]],{{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}} then forcing Starscream and his followers back into Megatron's service and sending them to attack Sam's school to "recover" the drone, who has gained enough sentience to name himself "[[Brains]]". {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} While Optimus Prime leads a NEST squad into action, Arcee, Elita-One and Chromia investigate Brains's point of origin, and discover that everything has been set up by Shockwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}} Shockwave assaults the undermanned Diego Garcia base, killing nearly all the Autobots and humans there, including Theodore Galloway.

National Security Director [[Charlotte Mearing]] is appointed the new director of NEST in place of the deceased Galloway, and quickly brings firm order to the organization, revoking Bumblebee's permission to live with Sam and arranging for the establishment of a network of [[Energon detector]]s around the globe to warn of any Decepticon threats. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} The devastated Diego Garcia NEST base is decommissioned, and the group moves its headquarters to its Washington, D.C. base. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}} While Decepticon high command remains hidden in Namibia, the vast majority of the villains' forces gather in seclusion on Earth's moon in preparation for Megatron's final plan.

After Sam graduates college, he and Carly move to Washington D.C., with Wheelie and Brains in tow.<ref>No date for the events of ''Dark of the Moon'' is provided in the film. Given that Sam has recently graduated college by the time of the film, this would place it at least three years after ''Revenge of the Fallen''; the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|''Dark of the Moon'' video game]], while not workable in this timeline (as most video games tend not to be), employs a three year gap, while the novelization of the film puts the movies "several years" apart, which sure sounds like "more than two" to us. The junior novelization, meanwhile, implicitly sets ''Dark of the Moon'' in 2013, by noting that the ''Xantium'', which landed on Earth in late 2008 per ''Tales of the Fallen'', arrived "five years ago".</ref> Sam applies to work with NEST, but is turned down by Mearing, and spends three months struggling to both find a job, and to deal with his sudden lack of importance. Exploiting this, and seeking to use Sam as a mole through his connection to the Autobots, Dylan Gould begins an attempt at currying his favour by arranging a job for him at [[Accuretta Systems]].

Requiring the Autobots to learn of the Ark's resting place, Megatron has Soundwave call upon Alexi Voskhod to request NEST's investigation into some "alien activity" in the ruins of Chernobyl. There, as planned, the Autobots discover the fuel cell from the Ark, which leads them to the craft on the moon. Recovering Sentinel Prime's body, Optimus Prime uses the Matrix of Leadership to restore his mentor to life, just as Megatron intended.

[[File:DOTMCybertrontransit.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.75|Sentinel Prime's attempt to find the Honeycomb Hideout went sadly awry.]]
Another of Soundwave's pawns, Sam's Accuretta co-worker [[Jerry Wang]], manages to alert Sam to the Decepticon's plans, but is himself executed by [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]]. With the help of Wheelie, Brains and Seymour Simmons, Sam tracks down the cosmonauts from the cancelled Russian mission and learns of the hundreds of space bridge pillars the Decepticons removed from the ship. Believing that the Decepticons will come for Sentinel because they require him to activate the space bridge, Sam alerts the Autobots, only for Sentinel to reveal his ancient betrayal, killing Ironhide in the process. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} Sentinel prepares to kill Bumblebee only for Skids to take the shot. Mudflap is subsequently killed by Sentinel in a failed attempt to avenge his twin. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon (novel)}} Joining with Megatron, Sentinel triggers the space bridge, teleporting the Decepticon forces on the moon into the heart of Washington, D.C. to devastate the city. Sentinel addresses the United Nations, demanding the exile of Optimus Prime's Autobots from Earth. Sam learns that Dylan Gould is working for the Decepticons, but with Carly as his prisoner, he is unable to warn the Autobots of the conspiracy. Optimus's team departs aboard the ''Xantium'', but the ship is attacked by Starscream moments after launch and explodes.

With the Autobot threat apparently gone, the Decepticons invade [[Chicago]], enslaving the human populace and setting up space bridge pillars across the world to teleport Cybertron into the Solar System. Sam teams up with Robert Epps and his ex-NEST comrades to enter the city and save Carly from Dylan, but they soon learn they will not fighting alone when the Autobots return, their seeming deaths a ruse to catch the Decepticons off guard. An apocalyptic battle ensues in the streets and skies of Chicago that culminates in the destruction of the space bridge control pillar, causing the space bridge to collapse in upon itself, ravaging Cybertron and destroying the Decepticon fleet. Optimus and Sentinel battle one-on-one until Megatron, convinced by Carly that Sentinel will take Decepticon leadership from him, intervenes. Megatron wounds Sentinel, but this does not stop Optimus from finally killing Megatron by tearing off his head. Optimus summarily executes the weakened Sentinel and the Autobots know that with Cybertron truly gone for good, Earth is now their only home. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{anchor|Generation 1}}[[File:Ratchettoyg1.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Why's everything so dark in here?]]
* '''Ratchet''' (1984, 1986, 1990)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''99'''
**''Accessories'': "Static Laser Gun", gun connector, 3 missiles

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Ratchet was originally a Onebox Ambulance Type toy from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' line before [[Hasbro]] brought ''Transformers'' to North America. The toy transforms from a Nissan Cherry Vanette SGL Coach ambulance to a robot and [[Onebox component|gun-station]]. A [[variant]] of the toy includes red crosses on the top and sides of the vehicle. Ratchet and his [[retool]]/[[redeco]] buddy [[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]], like all Diaclones, were designed to be piloted mecha, which is why he has a seat instead of a head. The Transformers version applied a face [[sticker]] to the back of the seat in lieu of a real sculpted noggin.

:In 1986, he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including the [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] flier packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

:In Japan, Ratchet was originally only available as a [[S.T.A.R.S.]] mail-away, costing 1700 yen and 4 robot points.

===Collector's Edition===
*'''Ratchet''' (2001)
**''ID number:'' '''Set B'''
**''Accessories'': "Static Laser Gun", gun connector, 3 missiles

:In 2001, Ratchet was reissued in Japan as part of the [[Collector's Edition]] series. The toy had no discernible changes from the G1 version. It was [[exclusive]]ly available through [[e-HOBBY]], paired with Ironhide.

*'''Autobot Ratchet & Flareup''' (BotCon 2005 Souvenir two-pack)
**''Accessories'': Lightbar/blaster

:One of two "souvenir" packages [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2005]], Ratchet is a retooling of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Autobot [[Tow-Line (Energon)#Toys|Tow-Line]] with a new head, transforming into a large utility van. In robot mode, his lower vehicle portion becomes a [[Onebox component|mobile battle/repair platform]]. Ratchet can fold his legs back and up over his shoulders (wow!) and re-attach to this platform for a "battle mode". In this, ahem, ''position'', Ratchet can also form the top half of a two-robot "Powerlinx combiner" with any ''Energon'' Deluxe Autobot, and any of them can also use his platform for their own combination.

:The mold's standard "receiver dish" weapon was not produced; instead, he came with a new "light bar" that pegged onto his roof in much the same manner.

:He could only be purchased in an at-show "souvenir" two-pack along with [[Flareup (G1)#Toys|Flareup]]. This mold was also used to make [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Timelines|Ironhide]] for the same convention.

* '''Ratchet''' (December 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': "Static Laser Gun", gun connector, 3 missiles

:In mid-December 2007, Ratchet was reissued again as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. This particular version came with an illustration on one box flap depicting Ratchet's cartoon-design head and chest windshield. By punching out the image along the perforated edges, folding it just so and tucking it in behind the toy's windshield, one could give the toy a "real" head, just like in the TV series, instead of using the Diaclone-original windshield face sticker. Sort of. This version of the toy was retooled to add a pair of "clips" to the mobile platform's gun-base, designed to keep Ratchet more securely attached when riding it. However, these clips are right where a pair of decals normally go.

:A redeco of his Encore reissue which [[homage]]s [[Ratchet (Movie)|the live-action movie Ratchet]], Ratchet Emergency Green is a Japanese mail-away exclusive available with a purchase of the book ''[[Transformers Visualworks]]''. After the book release on December 4, 2007, purchasers could mail in a ticket from the book and purchase either one (5200yen) or two (10,000 yen) of the item. Ratchet shipped to customers in April 2008. He comes in the same packaging as the regular Encore release, including packaging images, instructions, and the same white-headed cardboard torso punch-out.

:A [[redeco]] and [[retool]] of the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Ironhide toy]], ''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Ratchet transforms into an "emergency" SUV. He has a red Japanese-style emergency lightbar, is cast in bright white plastic and has a deco resembling Ratchet's appearance in the original cartoon series, down to his dark gray head crest. Like all ''Henkei'' toys, he features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] plastic, specifically his headlights and taillights, as well as his "Converting Cannon" weapon. Unlike his ''Universe'' counterpart, the [[license plate]] is blank. The lightbar was also used for ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Alert]].

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Series:'' Generation 1 Series
**''Accessories:'' Medical Dispenser/Combat Blade

:Like ''Henkei'' Ratchet, ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Ratchet is a redeco and retooling of the ''Universe'' Ironhide toy, and transforms into an "emergency" SUV, cast in pearlescent white plastic with a rather generic "Ratchet" deco. He sports the American-style emergency lightbar previously used for ''Universe'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Prowl]] (and later used again for ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Generations|Red Alert]]) cast in translucent blue plastic (as opposed to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Ratchet's differently sculpted red Japanese-style emergency lightbar).

:While similar in execution, there are a great many changes from Henkei Ratchet to Universe Ratchet. The red paint detailing on Universe Ratchet is different than that of Henkei Ratchet in color and layout. The Henkei version's stripes resemble those of his original toy, while the Universe version more resembles his ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)|counterpart]]. Henkei Ratchet uses chrome paint on his weapon and both sets of lights while the Universe version leaves them unpainted. Gray paint covers Henkei Ratchet's gun barrel and silver on his upper chest (behind the chest window), these parts remain unpainted on Universe Ratchet. The paint used for the windows of Universe Ratchet is a light blue while Henkei Ratchet uses a deeper metallic blue paint. Universe Ratchet has black forearms and upper thighs, while the Japanese version uses a pure white (different from the white used throughout the rest of the figure). Universe Ratchet has a yellow [[license plate]] (which reads [[The Pri¢e of Life!|H3L PU2]]) and red head crest, while Henkei Ratchet has a blank gray plate and gray head crest. Universe Ratchet features a blue blade on his weapon, while Henkei Ratchet features a red blade. Universe Ratchet also features a lighter red plastic than the Henkei version.

:Like ''Universe'' Ironhide, the blue paint used for his opaque windows matches ''really'', '''''really''''' badly with his translucent blue plastic windows. Also, several of his parts are cast in [[unpaintable plastic|unpaintable]] red plastic, causing Ratchet to have a rather conspicuous red patch on his otherwise-white roof.

:This mold was also retooled into [[BotCon 2012]] [[Soundwave (SG)#Timelines|Sir Soundwave]].

:Battle Changer Ratchet uses a modified Kreon torso and pelvis, that is then built up with bricks to form a larger robot that can transform into an ambulance mode ''without'' needing to be disassembled and reassembled. He seems to be equal parts based on the original Ratchet and [[Ratchet (WFC)|''Prime'' Ratchet]].

: Also, by this time, the "Ratchet" helmet had been [[retool]]ed to widen the opening for the face, so the crest no longer completely obscured a Kreon's eyes.

: Ratchet was only available in a "Vs." pack with [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#BattleChanger|Soundwave]], who ''also'' came with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#BattleChangersRatchetVSSoundwave|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Rumble]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ravage]].

{{note|[[Ratchet (WFC)|''Prime'' Ratchet]] was repurposed as Generation 1 Ratchet in ''[[The X-Files: Conspiracy: The Transformers]]''.}}

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this larger-scale version of Ratchet has a "dramatic head reveal" [[gimmick]], with his robot-mode head being spring-loaded to pop up once his "backpack" is pulled down. He features [[5 mm post|5 mm peg-holes]] for his hands, a pair on his front bumpers/shins, and a pair on his vehicle roof.

:He comes with a pair of battle blades that can mount/be held via 5 mm post, and his hands can be swung down at the wrist to give the appearance of the blades sprouting out of his wrists, as seen in the cartoon. The blades can mount into the peg-holes on his front bumper, creating a battle mode, and the blades can store on tabs underneath his vehicle.

:His [[instructions]] depict an alternate head apparently intended for an as-yet-unreleased Gears. The sculpt was used as the basis for ''Prime'' [[Swerve (Prime)|Swerve]].

: The Japanese release of Ratchet, part of the very first assortment of [[TakaraTomy]] ''Prime'' toys, omits an incredible number of [[paint operation]]s, replacing them with customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. (On the other hand, this ''does'' give him his "lifeline" decoration missing from the [[Hasbro]] version.) As part of the "[[Arms Micron]]" gimmick, six 5mm peg-hole attachment points have been glued onto him (as opposed to having existing parts specifically [[retool]]ed to include them like many other toys in the line) on his vehicle-mode roof, doors, and side-panels, which respectively end up on his legs, forearms, and shoulders. The Hasbro version's twin blades have been replaced by the Arms Micron, [[R.A.#Toys|R.A.]], who transforms into a considerably larger version of one of the blades, and can still work as a "wrist-mounted" weapon.

: Ratchet was redecoed into [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'']] [[First Aid (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot First Aid]] and retooled into [[BotCon 2014]] [[Cannonball (G1)#Timelines|Cannonball]].

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Deluxe Class, Botcon 2016 Customization Class)
**''Accessories'': Combiner hand/foot, axe

:Exclusive to [[BotCon 2016]]'s customization class, ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Ratchet is a redeco of Deluxe Class [[First Aid (G1)#Generations|First Aid]] with a previously-unused pretooled head. Like all ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe toys, he can become an arm or a leg for any compatible Voyager-class figure (including ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' figures) or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs. His G2 bio invites you to use him as a member of the ''Combiner Wars'' G2 [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] that doesn't exist, or as a member of [[Modulus]] who ''possibly'' exists.

:Class participants were given four deco options for the Ratchet head ([[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel G1]], [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon G1]], [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|G2]], and [[Ratchet (SG)#Generations|''Shattered Glass'' Ratchet]]), and a fifth deco option for the automatically-included-in-the-sprues First Aid head as [[Medix (G1)#Generations|Medix]]. Four sticker sheets were available (with the two G1 decoes sharing a sheet), and class participants were given the G1 sheet and one other of their choice. Additionally, three stickers could be used on Ratchet's combiner peg, allowing you to recreate the sticker face of his original toy.

:Class participants who finished creating their toy in-class were given an exclusive [[Enigma of Combination]] accessory that can be either held by Ratchet/Medix or fit into [[Ultra Prime]] or [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]'s chest. Unpainted/unstickered versions of Ratchet with the Ratchet head were offered for sale during registration and at the convention, whilst the G1 sticker sheet was later offered for sale at the online club store, bundled with either a set of autograph cards or a pair of sunglasses.

:In 2017, the unpainted Ratchet was [https://www.toyarama.com/store/2016-botcon-exclusive-assembled-class-figure-unpainted-1-pc-p1573.php sold at the Club's site in ''very'' limited quantities].

**''ID number:'' '''WFC-S34'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''SG-EX'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[January 20]], [[2021]]'''
**''Accessories:'' "RT-15" laser cannon/robotic arm, "RT-5 Magno-Wrench", "RT-5 Laser Scalpel"

:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Ratchet is an extensive [[retool]]ing of [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ironhide]], featuring a new head, grill, shoulders, and weapons that transforms from robot to Cybertronian van and back. Despite the mold being a retool of Ironhide, the mechanical engravings featured across the parts' surface have been largely changed, leaving very few parts from the original figure unchanged. His instructions also include a third "repair mode" vaguely evoking the original toy's [[Onebox component#Toys|medical sled]]. He features multiple [[5 mm post]]-holes and 3mm hardpoints; the latter are to accommodate "Fire Blast" effects pieces from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Despite being classified as a Deluxe Class figure, Ratchet is actually a full head taller than the other Deluxe figures of the same line.

:Instead of the "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launchers" from his mold-mates, he features a set of all-new [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] accessories. The main one is a multi-jointed laser cannon/robotic arm, which forms the "RT-15 Protraction Magno Hoist" when combined with his "Magno-Wrench" (for use in repair bay mode), or the "RT-15 Protraction Laser Launcher" when combined with his "Laser Scalpel" pistol (attached to his back in robot mode).

:Due to the layout of his mold, Ratchet sports peculiar white wheels in his vehicle mode. Individual reports indicate he does not share Ironhide's leg panel problem, though some figures are reported to have warped molding in their ankle joints instead.

:Ratchet was a [[Walgreens]] exclusive in the U.S. (appropriate given it's a drug store), an EB Games exclusive in Canada, and a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Hong Kong and Malaysia. In Japan, it was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

: This mold was also used to make [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generations|Crosshairs]].

:Bundled with fellow medic [[Lifeline (G1)#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Lifeline]] as Encounter 1 of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' "Galactic Odyssey Collection", Ratchet is a retool of ''Earthrise'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ironhide]], itself a heavy retool of ''Siege'' Ironhide. Ratchet features a reuse of ''Earthrise'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Prowl's]] lightbar and a new head. ''Earthrise'' Ratchet is a faithful (if with more white bits than usual) representation of Ratchet's appearance in the cartoon, transforming into an unlicensed Nissan-esque van. Ratchet's roof piece converts to a shield for his robot mode, and he has a small pistol. As with ''Earthrise'' Ironhide, Ratchet has feet sticking out of his alt mode's rear. Like the rest of the "Galactic Odyssey Collection", he lacks an ''Earthrise'' ID number, and comes in a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]''-style box with a planet card featuring key details about [[Paradron]].

**''ID number:'' '''MP-30'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher, missile, static laser gun, 2 laser pistols, x-ray blaster, repair beam emitter, repair beam effect, 2 cyber spanners, magno-wrench, laser scalpel, arc-welder, repair bay, 2 faces, cardstock EKG image
:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Ratchet is a retool of ''Masterpiece'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ironhide]], with a new head, skirt armor, and lightbar.

:Ratchet shares several accessories with Ironhide: a pair of generic Autobot pistols (prominently dual-wielded by Ratchet in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''), a static laser gun and missile launcher based on those included with his original toy (though, unlike Ironhide, not used by Ratchet in the cartoon), and an extra face. He also comes with multiple new accessories, mostly various kinds of medical tools he used in the show, including a "repair beam emitter" that plugs into his forearm (used occasionally throughout the series, but first seen in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]") complete with an attachable beam light effect, an "arc-welder" that replaces his hand (Ratchet used a tool like this regularly in the series, but this accessory is specifically based on the detailed one seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]"), a pair of "cyber spanners" (used in "[[Attack of the Autobots (episode)|Attack of the Autobots]]"), a "magno-wrench" (from "[[The Autobot Run]]"), a hand-held laser scalpel (also from "The Autobot Run") and an "x-ray blaster" (from "[[Microbots]]"). Similar to how Ironhide included a cardstock image of dinosaur bones, Ratchet includes a cardstock image of an {{w|Electrocardiography|EKG}} reading that fits behind his windscreen.

:Ratchet has two options for his red cross stickers–placed on his shoulders, and the sides and top of his vehicle mode–both of which sidestep the [[trademark]] issues involving the [[Red Cross]] organization: one set places an Autobot insignia over the center of the cross, whilst the other adds a red square into each corner of the cross. You didn't hear it from us, but you can totally cut the squares off the latter set to give Ratchet his original plain crosses.

:If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Ratchet includes a [[collector coin]] mounted in a card which resembles the front of his van mode.

===Authentics===
*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (2020)

:Released as part of the new "Beta" series, ''Authentics'' Ratchet is a roughly Scout-sized mold that transforms from a robot into an ambulance and back. Due to his low transformation steps, most of his ambulance kibble hangs on his entire body, making him a [[shellformer]] of sorts. His shoulder kibble leaves him with clearance issues during posing, and unlike most Bravo class figures, he lacks knee articulation. The ambulance mode is strikingly similar to the ''Cyberverse'' Spark Armor Ratchet, but the transformation schemes are both unique.

:In Japan, a red rubber mini-figure of Ratchet was available in part of a [[Decoy|massive multi-pack of similar mini-figurines]].

:A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Ratchet was available in "Act 6" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line, a slight [[retool]]ing of the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Ironhide]] figurine (despite the fact that their two [[character model]]s have quite a few differences all over) with a new head, left hand and right-wrist-mounted... welding tool? Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

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

: In eight out of ten cases, the pewter version of Ratchet came packaged with the left leg of the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] collectible "build-a-figure". This part could be either full-color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color to two pewter.

: This Act was seemingly in shorter supply than the others before and since, and is not terribly common on the secondary market.

:Released by [[Diamond Select Toys]] in 2009, Ratchet was sculpted by [[Mark Wong]] of [[Art Asylum]] and limited to 1000 pieces. The bust continues the tradition of giving all Ratchet merchandise (but not toys) the {{w|International Committee of the Red Cross|red cross}} insignia on their shoulders to better match the Animation model. Ratchet's Bio credits him and Wheeljack with creating the [[Dinobot (G1)#Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Dinobots]]; effectively making him the cartoon version but he comes packaged with two heads for do-it-yourself retconning. Comic accurate red helmet with white chevron, or the cartoon accurate white helmet with grey chevron. Fans of the Universe 2.0 version (white helmet, red chevron) will have to buy some red paint when they pick their bust up. Three tools are also included with the Bust. One slightly resembling the [[power booster rod]], the other a Cybertronian version of an {{w|otoscope}} and the third is some sort of medical gear shaft. They are not sculpted on nor do they possess a magnet and are simply lodged in his hands for display.

The card includes a scan-badge for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

: This wave saw fairly minimal release at "big box" retailers, but unlike other waves, was ''not'' picked up by drug stores and the like later, making them particularly hard to find.

==Notes==
*In later years, toys sporting the name "Ratchet" require an additional "Autobot" prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name "'''Autobot Ratchet'''".
*Ratchet's original toy is part of a matrix of cross-referencing [[redeco]]es:
**In 2008, the original 1984 Ratchet mold got a green redeco as "Ratchet Emergency Green" in obvious reference to [[Ratchet (Movie)|his movie counterpart]].
**Meanwhile, the movie counterpart's toys got a red and white "Rescue Ratchet" redeco... based on the original colors of the 1984 toy.
**Elsewhere, [[Ratchet (Animated)|''Animated'' Ratchet]] includes elements from both characters, including Generation 1 Ratchet's chevron crest and coloration. (''Animated'' Ratchet later got a movie-based "Rescue Ratchet" redeco, to boot.)
**The Decepticon character [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] combines elements of "Ratchet Emergency Green" and Aligned Ratchet's [[Ratchet (WFC)|''Go!'' toy]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''99'''

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Ratchet was originally a Onebox Ambulance Type toy from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' line before [[Hasbro]] brought ''Transformers'' to North America. The toy transforms from a Nissan Cherry Vanette SGL Coach ambulance to a robot and [[Onebox component|gun-station]]. A [[variant]] of the toy includes red crosses on the top and sides of the vehicle. Ratchet and his [[retool]]/[[redeco]] buddy [[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]], like all Diaclones, were designed to be piloted mecha, which is why he has a seat instead of a head. The Transformers version applied a face [[sticker]] to the back of the seat in lieu of a real sculpted noggin.

:In 1986, he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including the [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] flier packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

:In Japan, Ratchet was originally only available as a [[S.T.A.R.S.]] mail-away, costing 1700 yen and 4 robot points.

**''Accessories'': "Static Laser Gun", gun connector, 3 missiles

:In 2001, Ratchet was reissued in Japan as part of the [[Collector's Edition]] series. The toy had no discernible changes from the G1 version. It was [[exclusive]]ly available through [[e-HOBBY]], paired with Ironhide.

*'''Autobot Ratchet & Flareup''' (BotCon 2005 Souvenir two-pack)
**''Accessories'': Lightbar/blaster

:One of two "souvenir" packages [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2005]], Ratchet is a retooling of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' Autobot [[Tow-Line (Energon)#Toys|Tow-Line]] with a new head, transforming into a large utility van. In robot mode, his lower vehicle portion becomes a [[Onebox component|mobile battle/repair platform]]. Ratchet can fold his legs back and up over his shoulders (wow!) and re-attach to this platform for a "battle mode". In this, ahem, ''position'', Ratchet can also form the top half of a two-robot "Powerlinx combiner" with any ''Energon'' Deluxe Autobot, and any of them can also use his platform for their own combination.

:The mold's standard "receiver dish" weapon was not produced; instead, he came with a new "light bar" that pegged onto his roof in much the same manner.

:He could only be purchased in an at-show "souvenir" two-pack along with [[Flareup (G1)#Toys|Flareup]]. This mold was also used to make [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Timelines|Ironhide]] for the same convention.

:In mid-December 2007, Ratchet was reissued again as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. This particular version came with an illustration on one box flap depicting Ratchet's cartoon-design head and chest windshield. By punching out the image along the perforated edges, folding it just so and tucking it in behind the toy's windshield, one could give the toy a "real" head, just like in the TV series, instead of using the Diaclone-original windshield face sticker. Sort of. This version of the toy was retooled to add a pair of "clips" to the mobile platform's gun-base, designed to keep Ratchet more securely attached when riding it. However, these clips are right where a pair of decals normally go.

Henkei!]]'' Ratchet transforms into an "emergency" SUV. He has a red Japanese-style emergency lightbar, is cast in bright white plastic and has a deco resembling Ratchet's appearance in the original cartoon series, down to his dark gray head crest. Like all ''Henkei'' toys, he features [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] plastic, specifically his headlights and taillights, as well as his "Converting Cannon" weapon. Unlike his ''Universe'' counterpart, the [[license plate]] is blank. The lightbar was also used for ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Red Alert (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Alert]].

*'''Autobot Ratchet''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Series:'' Generation 1 Series
**''Accessories:'' Medical Dispenser/Combat Blade

:Like ''Henkei'' Ratchet, ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Ratchet is a redeco and retooling of the ''Universe'' Ironhide toy, and transforms into an "emergency" SUV, cast in pearlescent white plastic with a rather generic "Ratchet" deco. He sports the American-style emergency lightbar previously used for ''Universe'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Prowl]] (and later used again for ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Generations|Red Alert]]) cast in translucent blue plastic (as opposed to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Ratchet's differently sculpted red Japanese-style emergency lightbar).

:While similar in execution, there are a great many changes from Henkei Ratchet to Universe Ratchet. The red paint detailing on Universe Ratchet is different than that of Henkei Ratchet in color and layout. The Henkei version's stripes resemble those of his original toy, while the Universe version more resembles his ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)|counterpart]]. Henkei Ratchet uses chrome paint on his weapon and both sets of lights while the Universe version leaves them unpainted. Gray paint covers Henkei Ratchet's gun barrel and silver on his upper chest (behind the chest window), these parts remain unpainted on Universe Ratchet. The paint used for the windows of Universe Ratchet is a light blue while Henkei Ratchet uses a deeper metallic blue paint. Universe Ratchet has black forearms and upper thighs, while the Japanese version uses a pure white (different from the white used throughout the rest of the figure). Universe Ratchet has a yellow [[license plate]] (which reads [[The Pri¢e of Life!|H3L PU2]]) and red head crest, while Henkei Ratchet has a blank gray plate and gray head crest. Universe Ratchet features a blue blade on his weapon, while Henkei Ratchet features a red blade. Universe Ratchet also features a lighter red plastic than the Henkei version.

:Like ''Universe'' Ironhide, the blue paint used for his opaque windows matches ''really'', '''''really''''' badly with his translucent blue plastic windows. Also, several of his parts are cast in [[unpaintable plastic|unpaintable]] red plastic, causing Ratchet to have a rather conspicuous red patch on his otherwise-white roof.

:This mold was also retooled into [[BotCon 2012]] [[Soundwave (SG)#Timelines|Sir Soundwave]].

: This version of Ratchet, part of the [[Kreon Class of 1984]], has much more detailed toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, though he keeps the cartoony head, of course. Oddly, he also has a [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack, despite neither the toy or cartoon version of Ratchet having wings. But hey, who can complain about extra parts in a customizing-heavy play pattern, huh?

:He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "Kreon Class of 1984". Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

: Also, by this time, the "Ratchet" helmet had been [[retool]]ed to widen the opening for the face, so the crest no longer completely obscured a Kreon's eyes.

: Ratchet was only available in a "Vs." pack with [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#BattleChanger|Soundwave]], who ''also'' came with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys#BattleChangersRatchetVSSoundwave|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Rumble]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Ravage]].

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, this larger-scale version of Ratchet has a "dramatic head reveal" [[gimmick]], with his robot-mode head being spring-loaded to pop up once his "backpack" is pulled down. He features [[5 mm post|5 mm peg-holes]] for his hands, a pair on his front bumpers/shins, and a pair on his vehicle roof.

:He comes with a pair of battle blades that can mount/be held via 5 mm post, and his hands can be swung down at the wrist to give the appearance of the blades sprouting out of his wrists, as seen in the cartoon. The blades can mount into the peg-holes on his front bumper, creating a battle mode, and the blades can store on tabs underneath his vehicle.

:His [[instructions]] depict an alternate head apparently intended for an as-yet-unreleased Gears. The sculpt was used as the basis for ''Prime'' [[Swerve (Prime)|Swerve]].

: The Japanese release of Ratchet, part of the very first assortment of [[TakaraTomy]] ''Prime'' toys, omits an incredible number of [[paint operation]]s, replacing them with customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s. (On the other hand, this ''does'' give him his "lifeline" decoration missing from the [[Hasbro]] version.) As part of the "[[Arms Micron]]" gimmick, six 5mm peg-hole attachment points have been glued onto him (as opposed to having existing parts specifically [[retool]]ed to include them like many other toys in the line) on his vehicle-mode roof, doors, and side-panels, which respectively end up on his legs, forearms, and shoulders. The Hasbro version's twin blades have been replaced by the Arms Micron, [[R.A.#Toys|R.A.]], who transforms into a considerably larger version of one of the blades, and can still work as a "wrist-mounted" weapon.

: Ratchet was redecoed into [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'']] [[First Aid (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot First Aid]] and retooled into [[BotCon 2014]] [[Cannonball (G1)#Timelines|Cannonball]].

:Exclusive to [[BotCon 2016]]'s customization class, ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Ratchet is a redeco of Deluxe Class [[First Aid (G1)#Generations|First Aid]] with a previously-unused pretooled head. Like all ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe toys, he can become an arm or a leg for any compatible Voyager-class figure (including ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' figures) or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs. His G2 bio invites you to use him as a member of the ''Combiner Wars'' G2 [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] that doesn't exist, or as a member of [[Modulus]] who ''possibly'' exists.

:Class participants were given four deco options for the Ratchet head ([[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel G1]], [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon G1]], [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|G2]], and [[Ratchet (SG)#Generations|''Shattered Glass'' Ratchet]]), and a fifth deco option for the automatically-included-in-the-sprues First Aid head as [[Medix (G1)#Generations|Medix]]. Four sticker sheets were available (with the two G1 decoes sharing a sheet), and class participants were given the G1 sheet and one other of their choice. Additionally, three stickers could be used on Ratchet's combiner peg, allowing you to recreate the sticker face of his original toy.

:Class participants who finished creating their toy in-class were given an exclusive [[Enigma of Combination]] accessory that can be either held by Ratchet/Medix or fit into [[Ultra Prime]] or [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]'s chest. Unpainted/unstickered versions of Ratchet with the Ratchet head were offered for sale during registration and at the convention, whilst the G1 sticker sheet was later offered for sale at the online club store, bundled with either a set of autograph cards or a pair of sunglasses.

:In 2017, the unpainted Ratchet was [https://www.toyarama.com/store/2016-botcon-exclusive-assembled-class-figure-unpainted-1-pc-p1573.php sold at the Club's site in ''very'' limited quantities].

**''Accessories:'' "RT-15" laser cannon/robotic arm, "RT-5 Magno-Wrench", "RT-5 Laser Scalpel"

:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Ratchet is an extensive [[retool]]ing of [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ironhide]], featuring a new head, grill, shoulders, and weapons that transforms from robot to Cybertronian van and back. Despite the mold being a retool of Ironhide, the mechanical engravings featured across the parts' surface have been largely changed, leaving very few parts from the original figure unchanged. His instructions also include a third "repair mode" vaguely evoking the original toy's [[Onebox component#Toys|medical sled]]. He features multiple [[5 mm post]]-holes and 3mm hardpoints; the latter are to accommodate "Fire Blast" effects pieces from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Despite being classified as a Deluxe Class figure, Ratchet is actually a full head taller than the other Deluxe figures of the same line.

:Instead of the "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launchers" from his mold-mates, he features a set of all-new [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] accessories. The main one is a multi-jointed laser cannon/robotic arm, which forms the "RT-15 Protraction Magno Hoist" when combined with his "Magno-Wrench" (for use in repair bay mode), or the "RT-15 Protraction Laser Launcher" when combined with his "Laser Scalpel" pistol (attached to his back in robot mode).

:Due to the layout of his mold, Ratchet sports peculiar white wheels in his vehicle mode. Individual reports indicate he does not share Ironhide's leg panel problem, though some figures are reported to have warped molding in their ankle joints instead.

:Ratchet was a [[Walgreens]] exclusive in the U.S. (appropriate given it's a drug store), an EB Games exclusive in Canada, and a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in Hong Kong and Malaysia. In Japan, it was released as a [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive.

Itself a heavy retool of ''Siege'' Ironhide, Ratchet features a reuse of ''Earthrise'' [[Prowl (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Prowl's]] lightbar and a new head. ''Earthrise'' Ratchet is a faithful (if with more white bits than usual) representation of Ratchet's appearance in the cartoon, transforming into an unlicensed Nissan-esque van. Ratchet's roof piece converts to a shield for his robot mode, and he has a small pistol. As with ''Earthrise'' Ironhide, Ratchet has feet sticking out of his alt mode's rear. Like the rest of the "Galactic Odyssey Collection", he lacks an ''Earthrise'' ID number, and comes in a ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]''-style box with a planet card featuring key details about [[Paradron]].

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Ratchet is a retool of ''Masterpiece'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ironhide]], with a new head, skirt armor, and lightbar.

:Ratchet shares several accessories with Ironhide: a pair of generic Autobot pistols (prominently dual-wielded by Ratchet in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''), a static laser gun and missile launcher based on those included with his original toy (though, unlike Ironhide, not used by Ratchet in the cartoon), and an extra face. He also comes with multiple new accessories, mostly various kinds of medical tools he used in the show, including a "repair beam emitter" that plugs into his forearm (used occasionally throughout the series, but first seen in "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion]]") complete with an attachable beam light effect, an "arc-welder" that replaces his hand (Ratchet used a tool like this regularly in the series, but this accessory is specifically based on the detailed one seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 2]]"), a pair of "cyber spanners" (used in "[[Attack of the Autobots (episode)|Attack of the Autobots]]"), a "magno-wrench" (from "[[The Autobot Run]]"), a hand-held laser scalpel (also from "The Autobot Run") and an "x-ray blaster" (from "[[Microbots]]"). Similar to how Ironhide included a cardstock image of dinosaur bones, Ratchet includes a cardstock image of an {{w|Electrocardiography|EKG}} reading that fits behind his windscreen.

:Ratchet has two options for his red cross stickers–placed on his shoulders, and the sides and top of his vehicle mode–both of which sidestep the [[trademark]] issues involving the [[Red Cross]] organization: one set places an Autobot insignia over the center of the cross, whilst the other adds a red square into each corner of the cross. You didn't hear it from us, but you can totally cut the squares off the latter set to give Ratchet his original plain crosses.

:If purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, Ratchet includes a [[collector coin]] mounted in a card which resembles the front of his van mode.

:Released as part of the new "Beta" series, ''Authentics'' Ratchet is a roughly Scout-sized mold that transforms from a robot into an ambulance and back. Due to his low transformation steps, most of his ambulance kibble hangs on his entire body, making him a [[shellformer]] of sorts. His shoulder kibble leaves him with clearance issues during posing, and unlike most Bravo class figures, he lacks knee articulation. The ambulance mode is strikingly similar to the ''Cyberverse'' Spark Armor Ratchet, but the transformation schemes are both unique.

*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

:In Japan, a red rubber mini-figure of Ratchet was available in part of a [[Decoy|massive multi-pack of similar mini-figurines]]. The number etched into his back is the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]] ratings, as these figurines were used as game pieces for a variety of ''Transformers'' board games in which this number had some meaning to how the game was played or something.

*'''Ratchet''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Ratchet was available in "Act 6" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line, a slight [[retool]]ing of the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Ironhide]] figurine (despite the fact that their two [[character model]]s have quite a few differences all over) with a new head, left hand and right-wrist-mounted... welding tool? Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

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

: In eight out of ten cases, the pewter version of Ratchet came packaged with the left leg of the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] collectible "build-a-figure". This part could be either full-color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color to two pewter.

: This Act was seemingly in shorter supply than the others before and since, and is not terribly common on the secondary market.

Part of the fifth and final wave of ''Heroes of Cybertron'', Ratchet was, unlike the Japanese figure, sold on an individual blister card and came packaged with the right leg of the [[Metroplex (G1)#Heores of Cybertron|Metroplex]] "build-a-figure".

: Like all the figures in the series, Ratchet was given an attempt at a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head.

*'''Ratchet''' (2009)

:Released by [[Diamond Select Toys]] in 2009, Ratchet was sculpted by [[Mark Wong]] of [[Art Asylum]] and limited to 1000 pieces. The bust continues the tradition of giving all Ratchet merchandise (but not toys) the {{w|International Committee of the Red Cross|red cross}} insignia on their shoulders to better match the Animation model. Ratchet's Bio credits him and Wheeljack with creating the [[Dinobot (G1)#Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Dinobots]]; effectively making him the cartoon version but he comes packaged with two heads for do-it-yourself retconning. Comic accurate red helmet with white chevron, or the cartoon accurate white helmet with grey chevron. Fans of the Universe 2.0 version (white helmet, red chevron) will have to buy some red paint when they pick their bust up. Three tools are also included with the Bust. One slightly resembling the [[power booster rod]], the other a Cybertronian version of an {{w|otoscope}} and the third is some sort of medical gear shaft. They are not sculpted on nor do they possess a magnet and are simply lodged in his hands for display.

The card includes a scan-badge for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

: This wave saw fairly minimal release at "big box" retailers, but unlike other waves, was ''not'' picked up by drug stores and the like later, making them particularly hard to find.

==Notes==
*In later years, toys sporting the name "Ratchet" require an additional "Autobot" prefix for [[trademark]] reasons, hence making the official name "'''Autobot Ratchet'''".
*Ratchet's original toy is part of a matrix of cross-referencing [[redeco]]es:
**In 2008, the original 1984 Ratchet mold got a green redeco as "Ratchet Emergency Green" in obvious reference to [[Ratchet (Movie)|his movie counterpart]].
**Meanwhile, the movie counterpart's toys got a red and white "Rescue Ratchet" redeco... based on the original colors of the 1984 toy.
**Elsewhere, [[Ratchet (Animated)|''Animated'' Ratchet]] includes elements from both characters, including Generation 1 Ratchet's chevron crest and coloration. (''Animated'' Ratchet later got a movie-based "Rescue Ratchet" redeco, to boot.)
**The Decepticon character [[Oil Slick (G1)|Oil Slick]] combines elements of "Ratchet Emergency Green" and Aligned Ratchet's [[Ratchet (WFC)|''Go!'' toy]].

Criminals. They are a superstitious, cowardly lot, and '''Air Raid''' has zero tolerance for them. He believes that respect for the law is a defining characteristic of sentient beings, separating them from non-living [[Drone|drones]], and is disgusted by the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]' disregard for the laws of their own [[Cybertron (planet)|home planet]].

Air Raid has dedicated his life to tracking down the worst of them, spending centuries pursuing them all throughout the galaxy, and he intends to keep this up until every single one has been brought to justice.

Sometimes, he combines with his fellow [[Aerialbot (ROTF)|Aerialbots]] to form [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]].

Many years ago, Air Raid was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[Science Division]] under [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]. After a [[The Fallen|strange relic]] was uncovered and aliens from the [[Eshems Nebula]] attacked, [[Megatron (Movie)|Protector Megatron]] declared a military dictatorship, demanding the full cooperation of the entire population. Air Raid was one of those who heeded Optimus' plea for them to not abandon their society's ancient traditions and beliefs. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} After Optimus ''Prime'' and his followers were declared traitors, civil war erupted across the planet. Air Raid joined Optimus Prime's Autobots and led aerial missions against the [[Decepticon]] fliers. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

[[Image:DOTMxbox-Aerialbots.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Air Raid is that guy on the right who's basically [[Keith David|Spawn]].]]
As a result of increased Decepticon activity, [[Stratosphere]] was tasked with transporting early [[MechTech]] samples from a NEST base in the Himalayas to Optimus Prime's location for safekeeping. Air Raid was one of the officers there, and intercepted a Decepticon intruder who had been surprised by a NEST trap. To his surprise, the intruder turned out to be the high-ranking Decepticon [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who had been ordered to track down and destroy the MechTech.

Air Raid briefly engaged Starscream in the base proper along with a squad of Autobots and NEST helicopters, but when Starscream proved too powerful, he retreated to the runway where Stratosphere was preparing to lift off. Despite leading Starscream on a merry chase through the mountains, with NEST forces launching ambushes with anti-aircraft fire and missiles, Air Raid was unable to either disable or lose his pursuer. He did, however, manage to warn Stratosphere of Starscream's approach and board his comrade before the Decepticon arrived.

When Stratosphere's fighter escort and anti-aircraft gun proved unable to bring down Starscream, the massive Autobot unleashed the [[Aerialbot (ROTF)|Aerialbots]], made up of Air Raid, [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] and [[Silverbolt (ROTF)|Silverbolt]]. Now ready for round two, Air Raid confidently assured Stratosphere that they would not fail.

While the Aerialbots put up a good effort, they fell one by one after a lengthy dogfight. When Air Raid was shot down, Starscream offered him a backhanded compliment, noting that, "You're fast, Air Raid, but not fast enough!" {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)}}

*'''Air Raid''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Acccessories:'' Cannon, jet boosters (all combine to form a spear)

: Part of the third wave of [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] Scouts, Air Raid is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Skyblast (Energon)|Skyblast]] mold, transforming into a Cybertronian fighter jet. He is decorated with digital woodland camo, making the alternate mode into a substantially more "Earth-like" aircraft in comparison to the original figure. He comes with multiple accessories that can attach to his jet mode for rocket-boosters and an under-slung cannon. In robot mode, these parts re-assemble to form a giant spear, although if preference desires, you can leave them separated and have the spear handle as a hand-held rifle, with the head split in half and clipped to his wrists. Fittingly enough, he has an Automorph gimmick on his chest and head, where rotating the chestplate into position would likewise rotate the head.

: Much like many other Target-exclusive Scouts, Air Raid's only faction marking (aside from his [[spark crystal]] and molded but unpainted Autobot emblems) is a [[Sector Seven]] [[insignia|logo]]. How he could ''possibly'' hide in their motor pool is a mystery. Perhaps he used a [[scanning|scan]] of [[Ghost 1]].

: Even though Air Raid is a redeco of a toy released several years earlier, the [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of his packaging depict him in the old [[prototype]] design for ''Energon'' Skyblast, featuring the original feet with human-like "toes" that were changed to more robotic feet for the production model of Skyblast.

: This sculpt was also used to make his fellow movieverse Autobot [[Skyblast (Movie)|Skyblast]], which was repurposed as [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] [[Star Saber (SG)|Star Saber]]. It was also used as the basis for the non-transforming ''[[Attacktix]]'' Decepticon piece [[Thrust (Attacktix)|Thrust]], as well as the CGI models for [[Backslash]] and pre-beast [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] in "[[Theft of the Golden Disk]]".

: In 2009, a [[rebranding|rebranded]] version of this toy was released in the [[Walmart]] [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] exclusive [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] "War of the Waves" two-pack as a ''[[Unicron Trilogy]]''-based [[character]] also named [[Air Raid (Universe 2008)|Air Raid]].

:Available only as a component of [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]], Air Raid is a dark grey and black redeco of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Windrazor (Energon)|Windrazor]]/[[Treadshot (Energon)|Treadshot]] mold, transforming into a small, futuristic fighter resembling an F-22 Raptor. He can also form a leg or arm to any ''Energon''-series "[[Powerlinx]] [[Combiner]]" super robot, though his nominal placement is as the left leg to Superion. He comes with two double-barreled guns and a connector piece, which can form hand-held weapons as well as become a footplate or "hand" for his combined mode, plus a blue "super energon" Autobot-style energon star that fits over his [[spark crystal]]. His mold was retooled to round out the nosecone, and does not attach as tightly as previous uses of the mold, or as well as his pack-in teammates.

:Air Raid shares his mold with fellow Superion pack-mate [[Airazor (ROTF)|Airazor]].

:This mold was also used to make [[Fun Publications]] [[Transformers Collectors' Club]]-[[exclusive]] [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]] and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Airazor (Universe)|Airazor]].

He transforms into approximation of an {{w|F-35 Lightning II|F-35 Lightning II/Joint Strike Fighter}} and has a non-firing cannon with rotating barrel on his right arm, activated by a gear-wheel embedded in his forearm. His [[Mech Alive]] gimmick is located in his upper arms; turning his forearms makes the machinery inside his biceps turn in time. Air Raid's MechTech Blaster weapon is a retool of [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]]'s, replacing the claws with two halves of a barrel, which form the "Shot Cannon". Thus far, this toy is only available in Japan.

:Air Raid comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game. [[TakaraTomy]]'s stock photos of Air Raid (shown on this page) don't show the MechTech ports under his wings.

==Notes==
*If this article seems haphazard, it's no coincidence. Four apparently different movie continuity jet Autobots named Air Raid were created over the years by multiple different parties. The Transformers Wiki has elected to assume they are all the same character for simplicity and hilarity. There's also a [[Air Raid (DOTM)|fifth]], but [[TakaraTomy]] came to their senses and made him a different character.
* Air Raid's ''Dark of the Moon'' video game body is a reuse of the [[Seeker Warrior]]s from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game.
* The [[bio]] for TakaraTomy's exclusive Air Raid redeco of ''Revenge'' Thrust spells his name as "[[Engrish|Airlaid]]", despite the rest of the packaging rendering it correctly.

**''Accessories (Takara release)'': Sword, "high-density infrared laser cannon", 20 bullets
:Released in the first year of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original Megatron toy began life as the ''[[Microman]]'' figure "Gun Robo - P38", which transforms into an accurate replica of a Walther P-38 pistol. This ''Microman'' figure was available in two forms: a standard version in two color schemes (one grey, one black), and the "Gun Robo - P38 U.N.C.L.E.", outfitted with three distinctive accessories—a scope, a silencer and a stock—that replicate the appearance of the unique, specialized Walther pistol seen in the popular 1960s spy television series ''{{w|The Man from U.N.C.L.E.}}'' <ref>"U.N.C.L.E. Special" Carbine at CIA Museum, [http://web.archive.org/web/20100324191047/https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/spy-fi-archives/item08.html archived version]</ref> It was the "U.N.C.L.E." version, with all of its special accessories, that was released by Hasbro as Megatron. When the figure is in [[robot mode]], the sight doubles as his signature arm-mounted [[fusion cannon]], but can also be combined with the other attachments to form either a "Particle Beam Cannon" weapons emplacement that Megatron can man, or a "Telescopic Laser Cannon" that connects to the figure as an over-shoulder weapons array. The pieces can also form a turret that a ''Microman'' figure can sit on and operate (that's what the tiny handles on Megatron's fusion cannon are for), but this feature was naturally left out of the ''Transformers'' version's instructions. Megatron also came with a chromed silver "high-density infrared laser cannon" that plugs into either of his hands.

:The original ''Microman'' release of the toy that would be Megatron featured a spring-loaded firing mechanism that allowed the toy to shoot ([[for safety reasons|dangerously small]]) plastic bullets one at a time from its barrel. A similar launching mechanism was also built into the stock piece, which could launch the bullets when the accessories were configured into their weapons emplacement mode, or attach to Megatron's hip when in robot mode and launch the bullets through his barrel. As with all missile-firing gimmicks, this feature was removed from the Hasbro release of the toy, though the ports into which the bullets were inserted are still present.

:Megatron has had several variations, reissues and [[redeco]]s released down through the years; this article strives to list each distinct edition of the toy under its own respective series. The earliest variation of the toy came in 1985, when (like all toys originally available in 1984) a factory-applied [[rubsign]] was added to Megatron's right arm while another version had the rub sign on his left hip guard. Then, the following year, when he was no longer a part of the toy assortment sold at retail, Megatron was made available as a mail-away item in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" flier packed in with boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $21.50 and five [[Robot Point]]s. To coincide with the 1986 animated movie release, he was also offered in 'The Autobots Have A Special Mission For...' mail-away pamphlet and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered rare.)

:Perhaps the most significant variant of Megatron released in these early years was the version of the figure released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] in Japan (pictured below). Instead of using the ''Microman'' "U.N.C.L.E." figure as Hasbro had, Takara released the ''standard'' version of the Gun Robo P-38 ''Microman'' figure, in its grey color scheme, which featured flat grey plastic on the chest and arms (where Hasbro's toy was chromed), and blue plastic on the inner arms and legs (where Hasbro's was red). Most notably, like that standard ''Microman'' figure, Takara's Megatron did not come with the stock, silencer and scope accessories (lacking even the attachment point for his cannon on his right arm), but instead came with a silver-chromed sword and retained his original bullet-firing mechanism. Takara's [[package art]] for the figure was an entirely different illustration from the Hasbro version, showing this toy's accessories, but it still erroneously showed the figure with red plastic on its limbs. This coloration was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] by [[e-HOBBY]] for a new character named [[Megaplex]].

:Megatron is probably the most troubled Transformer toy in all of Transformer history, due to being originally Japanese which had different toy laws, he is frequently [[For safety reasons|banned]] due to being a realistic gun while lacking an orange cap to indicate it's not a real gun. Some countries banned it or deemed it illegal due to criminals or kids misusing it as a real gun and terrorizing others, or law enforcement mistaking it for a real firearm and shooting innocent people dead (as has happened multiple times in the past). For you American fans, it may actually be easier to own a ''real'' Walther P-38 handgun than this original Megatron toy.

:In Japan, Megatron was also made available in a special two-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]. Both toys were identical to their individual releases. In Megatron's case, that means unchromed gray plastic, blue instead of red, and a functional firing mechanism and sword, instead of the scope, silencer and stock. This box also used an altered version of the individual release's box-art, turning his head sideways to face Prime, as opposed to the original's camera-facing head position.

Although it still lacked the chrome seen on the Hasbro version of the toy, this edition of the figure replaced the blue plastic seen on previous Takara releases with Hasbro's show-accurate red, and included the fusion cannon accessory for the first time with a Takara release, complete with the mounting point now added to Megatron's right arm. Though still lacking the silencer and stock, the toy retained its Japanese-exclusive sword accessory and its bullet-firing mechanism, with one modification: The bullets, formerly blue, were now red.

:Despite the change to the toy's colors, the box art on this set, the same art used for the [[Hasbro]] releases, was recolored to match the blue of the ''previous'' releases. Whoops.

[[File:Neutro-fusiontanktoy1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Uh-oh! Visual interest!]]
:Megatron returned as an ''[[Action Master]]'' in 1990, and as with most ''Action Master'' figures, he could not transform. His sculpt was based heavily upon the character's animation model design. Megatron is compatible with all other Action Master accessories and vehicles.

:He came packaged with the [[Neutro-Fusion Tank]], a large tank vehicle whose hull could transform into a base/gun emplacement, with the turret forming a flight pod. Four "corrosive smoke shell" accessories mounted on both sides of the tank. There are seats for two Action Master figures on the front on either side of the barrel, another seat inside the turret, and four pegs on the back of the tank for standing additional Action Master figures.

:The tank's turret can detach and become a "jet throne," which features flip-out wings, and the body of the tank transforms into a missile-launcher battle station. The battle station has two seats on either side behind the missile launchers (non-firing) and a stowing bay in the center for an additional figure.

:In a fairly notable omission, ''Action Master'' Megatron did not come with the character's iconic fusion cannon accessory. In 1992, however, a Japanese fan sculpted his own cannon accessory, which could plug into the figure's arm using the shoulder screw-hole (seen in the image at right). In a surprising move, Takara gave this cannon their approval and allowed it to be officially sold with their copyright stamp at a Japanese convention {{fact|which one?}} for only one day, at the price of 2000 yen.

The set features the chromed chest and arms and red plastic of the Hasbro release, and includes the silencer, stock and sight/cannon, while also coming with Takara's sword and functional bullet-firing mechanism.

: Where the original Takara Megatron toy made use of one of the two color schemes of the original ''Microman'' Gun Robo P38 toy, this redeco of the 2000 reissue Megatron is an homage to the ''second'', black color scheme for the ''Microman'' toy. Available exclusively through e-Hobby and pre-orders at [[BotCon Japan 2000]], "Megatron Black Version" features dark gunmetal chrome, black plastic instead of grey, and distinctive brown gun handle-grips, fists and "inner helmet". The chrome replaces the flat black plastic of the original ''Microman'' toy, which also had blue plastic on its legs and arms that is here supplanted by Megatron's now-traditional red. The toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

: e-Hobby later reissued Megatron Black Version in February 2009, now in [[Collector's Edition]] packaging. This release includes a [[Destron Leader Megatron Black Ver.|mini-comic]] explaining the story behind the redeco.

*'''Megatron''' (Decepticon, 1992)
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 6 missiles, sight

: Owing to Hasbro's [[for safety reasons|inability]] to re-release the original Megatron because that toy was a pistol, ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' instead saw the release of an entirely new Megatron toy in 1992, now as a large green M1A1 Abrams main battle tank. His main gimmick is his gravity-fed cannon, which holds four of his missiles at once (the remaining two can store in clips inside his legs) and can rapidly launch them one after the other. Pulling back on the cannon's tab drops a missile into the firing tube and triggers a "lock and load" sound effect, and pressing the launch button is accompanied by a firing sound effect. In tank mode, pressing a panel on his forward section trigger's the toy's infamous battle cry of '''"Megatron Attack!"''', while pressing down on the tank body while it is on a flat surface activates engine noises.

: In robot mode, Megatron is, by the standards of the time, a very large robot, towering over all ''Generation 2'' incarnations of Optimus Prime. His legs are immobile, but he has upper shoulder rotation and elbow joints; when raised, his left arm triggers an electronic laser sound effect. His cannon and all its sound effects still work in this mode, as does his "Megatron Attack!" sound effect, now triggered by pressing down on the figure's head. Megatron also features an autotransforming gimmick on the head, as it pops out once the cannon is slid to the right.

: This sculpt was slightly [[redeco]]ed (with new stickers) as ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Megastorm]].

: Furthermore, a [[retool]]ed version of the toy's lock-and-load shoulder cannon (or a new sculpt heavily based on it) was used as the main cannon on the [http://www.yojoe.com/sgtsavage/panther.shtml I.R.O.N Panther Tank] in the very short-lived 1995 ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' line ''Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles''.

*'''Megatron''' (Hero, 1993)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-2'''
**''Accessories'': Rifle, 2 air-launch missiles

:Megatron was released again the following year as [[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Megatron: a smaller, but similarly styled tank based off the M1 Abrams. This Megatron was purple and came with a bellows that fired an air-propelled missile. Both missiles could be kept on Megatron thanks to clips on his turret, which become his robot mode arms... conveniently kinda simulating the "classic" Megatron arm cannon to boot.

: Hero Megatron was designed with articulation in mind, so he was loaded with multiple swivel and universal joints, giving him far greater movement compared to his original ''Generation 2'' toy. However, it's really just friction that keeps his joints tight and his parts together in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (no pegs or clips) so after a bit of time and play, he turns pretty floppy. The joints connecting his biceps to his shoulders are also reportedly easy to break due to overly-tight tolerances, so caution is advised.

: This toy was released in Europe, albeit with a "MEGATRON RULES"-free blank chest sticker, as [[Archforce]]. It was also redecoed into [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Bludgeon (RID 2001)|Bludgeon]] (which has since been [[Repurposing|repurposed]] to become "[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]" [[Bludgeon (SG)|Bludgeon]]), and retooled to become [[#reverseconvoy|Reverse Convoy]].

**''Accessories'': Rifle

: Part of the second assortment of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]], this version of Megatron is a mild [[redeco]] of the Autobot [[Blowout]], transforming into a 1:64-scale Porsche 959 sports car with through-axle construction. This not only makes him roll exceptionally fast in car mode, but also makes him largely compatible with playsets from the "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" toy-car lines. Megatron and Blowout share the same blue and black inner robot colors, but Megatron uses opaque silver plastic with a shiny metallic silver paint overcoat, as opposed to Blowout's smoky-clear plastic. (All of the toys from the first wave that had transparent plastics were released in this wave with opaques instead; Blowout and [[Firecracker]] became new versions of Megatron and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GobotOptimusPrime|Optimus Prime]] respectively, while [[Gearhead]] and [[Motormouth]] stayed themselves.) In Europe, this deco was sold as Blowout himself rather than Megatron (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant).

: In Japan, his hood was tampographed with a stylized "T" with the ''Transformers'' logo set within the top bar, the same deco that appears on Go-Bots [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and the Japanese release of Go-Bots Optimus Prime.

:This sculpt was also redecod for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Frenzy (G1)#Generation 2|Frenzy]], and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spy Changer]] [[Hot Shot (RID)|Hot Shot]].

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], this two-pack of Megatron and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#ATB|Starscream]] was only released to test markets in Ohio in very limited quanities, and never saw a wide release. Megatron and Starscream combine to form a "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, with an under-slung six-missile gatling cannon that can rapid-fire six missiles by twisting the back end. Each wing can store three more missiles, which can "carpet-bomb" targets below by pressing the pressure-launch buttons above each. Removing Starscream from the jet mode triggers an autotransformation mechanism in Megatron's wings, folding them up and starting him on his way to his third mode as a treaded "tank."

: With this release cancelled, the toy was instead made available, with just a few small deco changes, in the ''[[Beast Wars II (toyline)|Beast Wars II]]'' toyline as [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]]. According to the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles were intended to glow in the dark, but this feature was not carried over to the ''Beast Wars II'' set.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''VS-6'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun/tail

:Early on the life of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars'' toyline]], before the debut of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]] (which definitively established ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] as a separate, distinct character), packaging [[bio]]s and the [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|mini-comic]] sold with this first ''Beast Wars'' Megatron figure indicated that he was the same Megatron from Generation 1 and 2. As such, all the Megatron toys released in this early era of the ''Beast Wars'' line are listed here for completeness, representing a [[micro-continuity]] in which Generation 1 Megatron took on these forms.

:The initial version of ''Beast Wars'' Megatron transforms into a green alligator. The toy shares a mold with [[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]], sporting different beast and robot mode heads and lacking the lizard's frill (though the screw hole for the frill bracket remains); as the two toys were released at the same time, it is unknown if one is a [[retool]] of the other, or if the mold was designed for both simultaneously. Megatron transforms via a spring-loaded one-step process, and his removable [[beast mode]] tail hides a non-firing blaster cannon that becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode.

:This mold was redecoed into the purple Megaligator ([[#CDgator|see below]]), and a different redeco was proposed for the unproduced [[Albitron]]. The Iguanus version of the mold was redecoed into [[Crazybolt (BWN)|Crazybolt]].

: Sharing a mold with his concurrently-released ally [[Megaplex#Toys|Megaplex]] (which had been a canceled mold developed for ''Generation 2''), ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Megatron transforms from a [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet]] to robot mode with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. The two halves of his rifle store in the back of his robot mode legs.

: Oddly, the ''Machine Wars'' stock photos (and even the boxart) portray Megatron as the gray F-22 jet and Megaplex as the blue one, the ''opposite'' of the actual toys. This means that either the package designers made the mistake, or the toys were packaged on the wrong cards. The latter is more likely, since gray is more associated with Megatron than blue. Like most other toys in the line, the boxart was recycled from an earlier figure, in this case from the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]].

: A diminutive version of Megatron in his Walther P-38 mode was included as a new accessory with the ''Transformers Collection'' release of Starscream. Needless to say, he doesn't transform, but can be held by Starscream in both modes. Megatron's handle disconnects to reveal a peg, which can then be inserted into either of Starscream's fists, which were specifically resculpted for this purpose. Each fist also features a tab on its underside, into which Megatron's handle can be inserted, completing the effect. Megatron can also attach to Starscream's jet mode; the right-hand side of Megatron's handle features a square peg which is designed to fit snugly in gaps in Starscream's pectorals, as in the Generation 1 episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". Unfortunately, this peg has, for no fathomable reason, been cast in the same sky blue color as Starscream's hands, unnecessarily making it ''as obtrusive as humanly possible''. An additional tabbed right fist for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Optimus Prime]] (complementing his then-upcoming ''Transformers Collection'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers Collection|Convoy]] release) was included as well.

: Hasbro attempted to include the original Generation 1 Megatron toy in their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' of reissues, but his realistic-gun-ness posed [[for safety reasons|a challenge]]. In an attempt to convince Toys R Us (the retailer through whom the line was exclusively available) to carry the toy, Hasbro proposed an extensive redeco of the figure, replacing its silver chrome with blue and its grey plastic with bright orange, including the tip of his silencer, in accordance with standard safety measures taken with toy guns. Even this was not enough to convince the chain to release the figure and it was shelved, but the design was shown to fans at [[BotCon 2002]], where it was noted that a potential way to the market the unusually-colored toy would have been to brand it as "Lava Megatron", depicting the Decepticon leader after his dunk in lava at the end of the cartoon episode, "[[Heavy Metal War]]". Fans, however, had another nickname for it that became better known: "Safety Megatron". Notably, this version of the toy would apparently have come with Megatron's Japanese-exclusive sword accessory.

: ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Megatron was released in the second wave of the diminutive Takara toyline, including only his fusion cannon. Easily the most complex of the ''Smallest Transforming'' figures, Megatron is a just-barely-simplified version of his original Generation 1 toy, possessing the same [[transformation scheme]] and retaining most of his articulation. The transformation step involving sliding his chest upwards away from his hips is extremely difficult and will usually result in the chest popping off; this is fixable.

:Just as ''Smallest Transforming'' Optimus Prime's trailer was released as a separate figure in the line, so too were a set of silencer and stock attachments originally intended to be released for Megatron in the line's third wave. Unfortunately, this wave, and most of the other original figures it was set to contain, was cancelled, and so Megatron was left under-armed.

In addition to a new "[[Reverse Convoy]]" head that flips out of the same compartment as the head on the original version of the mold, the toy features a brand new "Mega Blaster" cannon assembly that houses most of the toy's new features. The Mega Blaster fires a spring-loaded blue missile, and the rear of the cannon can be removed and transformed into the hand-held "Reverse Blaster" weapon, featuring twin barrels and a rack of six (non-removable) missiles. Once the Reverse Blaster is removed, the toy's "Rebirth Megatron" head can be rotated out from the back of the cannon to take the place of Reverse Convoy's head between the figure's shoulders.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories'': Scope, silencer, stock

:''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime included an accessory of Megatron in his classic Walther P-38 altmode. Although non-transforming, it is quite detailed and includes the individually removable silencer / barrel extension, scope, and (hinged) stock. Although notionally [[scale]]d to be wielded by Prime, Megatron is really rather small, so a diagonal sliding joint is added to his handle, allowing it to be lengthened and narrowed enough so that Prime can actually hold it. Both the stock and the sliding butt-end of the handle are made of a soft, rubbery vinyl, compared to the hard plastic of the other pieces. The stock extension connecting clamp is prone to breakage, much to the chagrin of owners who keep theirs sealed and untouched.

:Needless to say, the later-released ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] (and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|his]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|redecoes]]) can also hold this version of Megatron, and each include a small round clip that plugs in under their nosecones, allowing them to wield Megatron while in jet mode, as Starscream did in "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]".

:As the ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime mold has been has re-released multiple times, so too has Megatron. He was made available again without changes as an accessory for Takara's MP-4, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP4|Convoy Perfect Edition]]" and MP-1L, "[[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP1L|Convoy Last Production]]", and Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]", but has also been redecoed several times: these distinct new versions of Megatron are listed below.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-5'''
**''Accessories:'' Fusion cannon, energon mace, energy dagger, laser pistol, [[Kremzeek]] figure

: Scaled to the same height as ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime and designed in only twelve days by [[Hisashi Yuki]],<ref name="mpmegsdev">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/takaratomy-staff-interview-hisashi-yuki-on-masterpiece-180888/ TakaraTomy Staff Interview - Hisashi Yuki on Masterpiece]: - I hear the first Masterpiece figure you created was MP-5 Megatron and you hold the fastest development record with it.
[Yuki]: That is right. (*laughs) I was not assigned to be in charge of it initially, but due to the circumstance within the company I was unexpectedly handed down the project. The schedule came with it and I was stunned when I realised that I was only given 12 days, about 2 weeks...To make it worse, at the time of my receiving the task, even the product size wasn't decided. (*tears)</ref> ''Masterpiece'' Megatron is an incredibly complex figure—potentially one of, if not ''the'', most complicated ''Transformers'' toys to date—designed to depict a fairly [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] Megatron capable of transforming into a realistic (if oversized) Walther P-38. In achieving this seemingly impossible goal, Megatron winds up with the least articulation of the ''Masterpiece'' line, as well as a notably low percentage of die-cast metal.

: Like Prime before him, Megatron comes with several of his iconic accessories from the Generation 1 cartoon: his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2", the energy dagger and laser pistol used in his duel against Prime in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and a tiny translucent [[Kremzeek#Masterpiece|Kremzeek]] figure. His fusion cannon also contains a powerful red LED activated when the round detailing on the side of his cannon is pressed. Unfortunately, Megatron lacks the extended-stock and silencer parts to complete his gun mode, leaving him as a standard pistol aside from the mounted-scope made from his Fusion Cannon.

: Due to concern surrounding updated realistic toy gun laws, some online importers modified ''Masterpiece'' Megatron in order to safely get the toy through United States customs. This customarily involved inserting plugs into the tip of the toy's barrel, from rounded red ones affixed by adhesive to [[:File:HLJplug.jpg|flat-tipped yellow ones]] that could be easily removed. Ultimately, there were no reports of problems with the toy making its way into America, but Australia was another matter. Considered a replica gun and therefore a "restricted import" by Australian Customs, both mass shipments and individual packages of the toy were seized, requiring buyers in some areas to obtain a special permit to own him.

: Given the relatively thin clips throughout the toy to hold it tightly together in gun mode, Megatron's plastic components are particularly prone to breakage, especially on the clips on the upper black grip plates and some of the silver sections near the trigger. Many owners of this figure have also reported rust and tarnish problems on what few metal pieces he has; if your Megatron is a sufferer, check out [http://seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?t=16106 this guide] for solutions.

Both the sliding butt-end of the handle and the stock have been molded in hard plastic instead of the soft rubbery vinyl of the MP-01 version. A joint has been added to the stock connection point on the handle; for the joint in the stock itself, a straight pin has replaced the original rivet-style pin the softer plastic required. The stock itself no longer emulates the transforming accessory from the G1 toy, and instead features a smaller cylindrical shaft that more closely resembles the original U.N.C.L.E Special. In terms of deco, the minute red paint application on the scope is omitted.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-36'''
**''Accessories'': Fusion cannon/scope, stock, silencer, energon mace, jointed chain for mace, angry face, smiling face, neutral face, damaged face, chestplate, damaged chestplate, clone control helmet, energy dagger, laser pistol, [[Key to Vector Sigma#MP36|Key to Vector Sigma]]

:A completely new mold, this second version of Megatron transforms from a more accurate-looking and well-articulated robot mode into a more realistically-sized gun; those extra design goals make this figure's transformation even more challenging than the 2007 figure (and, really, anything else). He comes with the stock and silencer parts for the gun that the MP-5 mold was missing, which can be combined to create both the "telescopic laser cannon" and "particle beam cannon" arrays the pieces were capable of forming on the Generation 1 toy; the stock also transforms into a "flight stand" that can support the figure in mid-air. In addition to his "regular" face, Megatron has alternate angry and smiling faces, plus a fourth, damaged face that, together with an alternate damaged chestplate, replicates his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. When his face is removed, it exposes a detailed recreation of the interior of his head as it was shown during the "x-ray" sequence in the film, when he was reformatted into Galvatron.

:Like the previous ''Masterpiece'' figure, Megatron comes with the pistol and energy dagger used during his battle with Prime in the movie, and his energon mace from "More than Meets the Eye, Part 2," which this time comes with a jointed plastic chain that allows the weapon to be posed dynamically, in addition to a regular, "real" chain. Finally, he also comes with a diecast Key to Vector Sigma from the [[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1|two]]-[[The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2|part]] Generation 1 cartoon episode of the same name, and the clone control helmet he wore in "[[A Prime Problem]]."

:Unfortunately, this figure is prone to paint damage on areas that scrape together during transformation. Significant care must be taken when covering the robot face with the chestplate (or you can just take the face off beforehand as a precaution). It is apparently impossible to attach the silencer without scraping some paint off the gun barrel, not helped by the fact of some copies having the silencer stuck due to the inner plastic piece meant to slide inside the gun barrel being too thick.

:Megatron holds the distinction of being the first ''Masterpiece'' figure with a soundbox, activated by pressing a button on the fusion cannon, with a red switch to give a selection. The three positions of the cannon's sliding switch now denote a singular laser noise, the transformation sound effect (played forwards and backwards), and five speech clips by his Japanese voice actor, [[Seizō Katō]]: "Wa-ha-ha-ha, kono orokamono-me!" (Bwah ha ha ha! You fools!), "Eei, Cybertron wo hineri-tsubuse!" (Hrr--crush the Autobots!), "Kono yaku-tatazu mono ga!" (You're all useless!), "Eei, hakai shite kureru wa!" (Grrah, I'll destroy you!), and "Destron gundan, transform!" (Decepticon army, transform!). Due to Katō's death three years prior, Megatron's clips were reused from the 2005 reissue Galvatron.

:When purchased in some non-Japanese online stores like [[BigBadToyStore]], Megatron comes with an orange plug.

:On the other hand, Megatron also comes with a [[collector coin]], if bought in Asian countries outside of Japan.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''MP-36+'''
**''Accessories'': Fusion cannon/scope, stock, silencer, toy-accurate face, neutral face, angry face, smiling face, chestplate, cartoon-accurate chestplate
:A redeco of MP-36, this Megatron replicates his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy's appearance]], complete with vacuum-metalized parts and several stickers. Subsequently, most of the original MP-36 accessories are omitted, such as the Key to Vector Sigma, Clone Control Helmet, and the 1986 movie accessories. However, it maintains all face plates based from the MP-36 mold, but with yellow eyes, and suitable for either figure, as well as adding a shiny chromed version of the cartoon-accurate chest plate, for those who prefer to interpret the Megatron's coloring in the cartoon as silver rather than gray.

:In aid of the "toy-accurate" theme, Megatron's gun barrel is now nominally positioned next to his right hip rather than on his back; this required no retooling as it can also be achieved with the regular MP-36. Among the toy-accurate deco enhancements is the addition of Decepticon logos onto the handle of the gun mode. Due to the transformation pattern, these logos end up [[Wikipedia:tramp stamp|amusingly placed]] on his butt.

:When purchased from a seller supplied by Hasbro Asia, MP-36+ comes with a collector coin. The coin and the card it's mounted on appear almost identical to the one included with the original version, except for a "+" added on the reverse side of the coin, and the "2018" date stamp on the back of the card.

[[File:TitaniumGIJoeHeroesMegatron toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|THE BOX OF DOOM.]]
*'''Megatron''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Stand with nameplate

:Part of the very first wave of six-inch ''[[Titanium Series]]'' toys, Megatron was inspired by [[Dreamwave Productions]]' first ''[[Transformers/G.I. Joe]]'' comic book series, set in an alternate-reality World War II. Since the gun mode Megatron sported in that story was nonviable as a toy, this toy features a newly-designed tank alternate mode of made-up model. The backstory of the Megatron from the crossover, including references to Cobra, was retained on the package, make it the first U.S. figure ever produced as part of a ''G.I. Joe / [[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' crossover.

:Although the figure looks somewhat impressive, it notably has the tendency to fall apart during transformation, combined with loose joints, it was relatively difficult to pose in robot mode without it falling over, something that was entirely par for the course when it came to ''Titanium'' figures. It was known for being a shelfwarmer because of its poor quality, poor design, and poor paintjob, with many regarding it as one of the worst–if not ''the'' worst–Transformers toys ever.

:A new ''Titanium Series'' Megatron based on his [[Transformers: The War Within|''War Within'']] design was initially shown at [[BotCon 2006]], and was released in spring of 2007. Like the original comic book design, his robot mode has a removable arm cannon and shield. In contrast to his previous ''Titanium'' toy, this Megatron has a more posable robot mode, but a fairly unimpressive alternate mode with a transformation that consists of little more than lying the toy on its back and attaching the gun/shield. There is a small clip on the back of the toy which designer [[Don Figueroa]] said was to hold his sword, seen in the comic book, but that accessory was ultimately not produced.

:After years of tanks and jets, ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Megatron finally found a way to take Megatron back to his root as a transforming gun, complete with a working crosshairs in his scope and a spring-loaded clicking trigger. Described on-package as a "fusion blaster", Megatron's gun mode is apparently based on a [[:File:N-strike maverick.jpg|Nerf N-Strike Maverick blaster]], and decked out in a [[for safety reasons|safety-regulation-friendly]] color scheme consisting of lots of green and purple (in an apparent homage to his old ''Generation 2'' colors), plus bright orange on both the tip of the barrel and the scope. Years later, it would be discovered that, for currently unknown reasons, the bright color of this orange plastic would fade over time, even if not directly exposed to sunlight.

:Early [[stock photography|official Hasbro photographs]], including those appearing on the toy's [[packaging]], show the gun mode's trigger and other small parts as being orange, those parts were gray in later stock photography and the final release. They also depict Megatron with noticeably different "eyebrow" [[paint operation]]s that matched those of the original Megatron toy, consisting of two small black triangles on his gray plastic forehead.

*'''Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle''' (Deluxe Class versus set, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Rifle
: "Ultimate Battle" Megatron evokes his ''Generation 2'' form as a green tank. Like his pack-in partner, who has a spinning "power punch" action, Megatron features a similar "spinning dervish action" gimmick, his right arm ending not in a fist but a bladed polearm which whirls around with the press of a button at his shoulder. At best, it looks silly, but at worst, it comes off easily. He comes with a small rifle with a rather pointless flip-out stock extension. The very tip of his cannon is a detachable piece, and can become lost ''very'' easily.

: Megatron is [[misassembly|misassembled]] in-package, with his feet swapped and attached backwards. Although not immediately noticeable due to the fact that [[:File:MegatronUltimateBattle.jpg|promotional]] and box-art photography also show this misassembly, any attempt to transform Megatron into tank mode immediately demonstrates the mistake, which is easily corrected by unscrewing his lower legs, reversing the foot pieces, and attaching each to the opposite leg (as has been done in the picture at right).

:In the United States, Megatron was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (in the [[United Kingdom]] and the Netherlands, the DVD just came in a paper sleeve; in other European countries, it was instead made available separately). In addition, the two figures were also sold on [[#cardedultbattle|individual cardbacks]] in some countries (see below).

:''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Megatron is a retool of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Sports Label|''Sports Label'' Optimus Prime]], one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products in that he transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Megatron is primarily black and silver in his alternate mode as a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces (characterized as "electrical discharge cables" in his bio). In robot mode, he sports some additional red paint applications and a somewhat uniquely-shaped yet instantly recognizable Generation 1-inspired head. Also in this mode, Megatron's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode. In an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]] Transformers'' Megatron is a redeco of the ''Classics'' Voyager Class mold. Not bound by the safety regulations that necessitated ''Classics'' Megatron's more colorful appearance, ''Henkei'' Megatron features a significantly different color scheme of black, silver and red designed to make him resemble his original Generation 1 appearance, including translucent red plastic to replicate his classic cartoon "Decepticon red" eyes. All ''Henkei'' toys feature (somewhat randomly-applied) vacuum-metalized chrome parts; in Megatron's case, his chest plate and kneecaps are chromed silver.

*'''Megatron''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2008)

:A [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] version of Megatron inspired by [[#Generation 2|his ''Generation 2'' tank design]], although featuring a more realistic shade of green.

:Sadly, because of his transformation, when transformed into tank mode his turret doesn't turn around. Some of Legends Class Megatron's transformation shares several similarities to his Generation 2 toy.

:Although his first stock photography features a slightly long turret, the final product had it shortened.

**''ID number:'' '''SE-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Rifle
[[File:Universe2008-toy SEMegatron.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|"Psst, my cannon shoots Nerf darts."]]
:This "Special Edition" of Megatron is a redeco of the "Ultimate Battle" Megatron from ''Classics'', this time featuring a Generation 1-inspired deco of grays, red and black. This new deco takes advantage of the toy's mould break-up to add a fifth plastic colour (where the original only had four), dividing the parts which were dark grey on the original version between light grey, red and black plastic. Also marking this figure as a particularly "special" edition is the fact that it's the first release of the figure to assemble his feet the correct way around. Amusingly, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him as ''missing a part'': his cannon's detachable tip is missing, and the tip of the cannon's stub is painted red to somehow compensate for that.

:Like all the figures in the small Special Edition line, Megatron was designed for Australasian markets and features a bookbox style packaging with black-and-white boxart, retailing at about 150% of the price for a normal deluxe outside of the United States. He was not available at retail in North America, but was for sale on Hasbrotoyshop.com, like the other Special Edition toys. Years later, Hasbro liquidated excess stock of the special edition figures through Marshall's stores and were sold for a fraction of the original prices.

:Oddly enough, this Megatron and the three other Universe Special Edition toys were included in Taiwanese special value packs each containing a [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)/home video|''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD]].

*'''Megatron Blade Silver''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-02'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "tesseractal swords"
:The ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Megatron toy transforms into a 1:32 scale model of a Nissan 370Z and features die-cast metal parts and rubber tires. The figure wields two "tesseractal swords" which can be pegged at its hips, or stored under the car in vehicle mode. Each forearm features a flip-out "gravital blade."

: In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, each figure from this line represents a distinct version of a character from a separate [[universal stream]], but which precise Megatron the "Blade Silver" toy embodies has not been disclosed. Upon its initial release, this toy was also available in blue (see below), and later redecoed in a black variant as well. It was later redecoed into ''Alternity'' [[Galvatron (G1)/toys#Alternity|Galvatron]].

:[[:File:Alternity Megatron Cannon.jpg|Early concepts]] for ''Alternity'' showed him with the trademark fusion cannon rather than his twin swords, as well as a pronounced Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest.

*'''Megatron Cybertron Mode''' ([[December 25]], 2010)
**''ID number'': '''UN-04'''
**''Accessories'': Cannon/missile launcher, energy-blast missile

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, "Cybertron Mode" Megatron is a [[redeco]] of the Deluxe Class [[Megatron (WFC)/toys#Generations|''War for Cybertron'' Megatron toy]], transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun. The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration. Megatron's spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm.

:Megatron is cast in a deep dark metallic gray plastic rather than the light gray plastic of the Hasbro version. He also features a blood red metallic paint instead of the more traditional red used on the Hasbro version. Other notable differences include the Decepticon symbol upon his chest as well as lacking paint on the sliding mechanism within his fusion cannon.

:This mold was also used to make [[Darkside Megatron]].

:This release of Megatron features an extensive silver paint job, as well as metallic crimson for details. This figure's deco is based on the G1 cartoon model, removing any extraneous painted details from the previous releases. The face and eyebrow crest are painted white, giving it an appearance very similar to the initial solicitations of ''Classics'' Megatron.

:Tank Megatron is the first Japanese release of the "Ultimate Battle" Deluxe Class Megatron mold from ''Classics'', in a new color scheme paying homage to his [[#Hero|''Generation 2'' "Hero" deco]]. The connection is strengthened by the [[:File:United Megatron Rules.jpg|photo on the back of the packaging]], which depicts Megatron standing in a ruined, burning landscape, surrounded by over a dozen "Megatron Rules" signs.

:Like the [[#UniSpecEd|''Universe'' Special Edition figure above]], Tank Megatron features correctly assembled feet. He was originally solicited as "'''Thunder Megatron'''".

*'''Megatron''' (Legends Class, 2011)

:Part of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line's]] "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], this toy is based on Megatron's Generation 1 cartoon appearance (with a little inspiration from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron]]'' design around the abdomen), transforming into a variation on Megatron's original gun mode (referred to as a "blaster" on Hasbro's website). As he was part of Reveal the Shield, he has a [[rubsign]] on his chest.

[[File:MP Acid Storm-Chronicle gun Megatron-Pull My Trigger.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.85|To hell with safety!]]
:In a fit of complete awesomeness, the figure is sculpted with notches in its handle that specifically allow the ''Masterpiece'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] mold to grip it. Additionally, the slightly thicker portion of the barrel closer to the main body can be held by the clip included with ''Masterpiece'' Starscream and attach to his jet mode. Unfortunately, Megatron can only be held vertically.

:Despite his tiny size, Hasbro had to cast much of the gun (his arms, the barrel/fusion cannon, and the upper half of his torso) in orange plastic [[for safety reasons]] (Not helped by the fact that [https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-tiniest-cutest-guns-that-shoot-real-bullets-1683682859 functional small guns do exist]). Official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] and early [[prototype|samples]] from China had the orange plastic on the barrel fully painted over in gray, yet the final toy leaves the end of the barrel unpainted.

: While the large brick-built Megatron in this ''[[Kre-O]]'' set is based on the [[Megatron (Movie)|live-action film Megatron]] in his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' body, the accompanying Megatron [[Kreon]] is very much a Generation 1 Megatron, at least from the neck down. The helmet is definitely a "cleaner" take on the movie-style helmet, but those [[tampograph]]s are a simplified version of the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Megatron toy]].

**''Pieces'': '''36'''
**''Accessories'': Rack, clip-on Megatron cannon, bazooka, Cobra Commander pistol, wing-pack, claw attachment, double-bladed staff

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Megatron comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, and his plastics have a slight metal-flake sheen. His "normal" helmet and arm cannon are [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed]], plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms and a wing-pack (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable bazooka, a small pistol (originally [[Cobra Commander]]'s from the ''Kre-O [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' series), a claw-attachment for his wrists, and a double-headed staff weapon.

: The cross-sell advertisement from the back of the packaging features a bizarre error: [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Custom|Soundwave]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Custom|Starscream]] are mislabeled. Soundwave is labeled as Starscream, while Starscream is labeled as Megatron.

: The [[Kreon Class of 1984]] version of Megatron is ''even more'' toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior versions, including his face detailing. Yes, it's a whole new tampograph layout. He's also mostly in metallic silver plastic, yet his helmet remains light flat gray.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "Kreon Class of 1984". This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Megatron uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. He also features entirely new face and chest tampographs. So version number four of the same base design.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Kre-O|first-year Starscream kit]] (mostly all the small bits and landing gear), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to make whatever with.

**''Accessories:'' {{w|Katana}}, {{w|:Wakizashi|tanto}}
: ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Megatron is an Asian market and Toys"R"Us-exclusive redeco/retool of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]], sporting a new, smiling head. Megatron transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode. He features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. The larger sword has a peghole at the bottom of the hilt; though it is specifically designed to allow the dagger's handle to fit in the base to form a double-bladed weapon, it can also fit any other accessory that uses [[5mm post]]s. The post used to combine the swords remains unobstructed in vehicle mode, meaning you can attach the dagger to the end of Megatron's main tank cannon if you're feeling silly. He also has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the tantō hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

:The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys. On the plus side, the tank turret can be rotated a full three-hundred sixty degrees, as can the purple machine gun that sits atop the turret.

:Unlike the other uses of this mold, Megatron comes [[Packaging|packaged]] in robot mode holding his swords, with additional plastic and paper ties in the tray imperfectly holding his swords in position. Because they were packaged this way since they were shipped out of the factory, most Megatrons come with the swords being badly bent and warped in the box. Fortunately, the swords' blades can be mostly straightened by leaving them sheathed in their hidden scabbards. Straightening their ''hilts'' is a different matter, though.

: This version of the mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' [[#Cloud|Megatron]], while the original version was redecoed into ''Transformers: [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], and differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

He transforms from a generic tank with rotating turret into a robot based on his [[Alex Milne]] pre-war design as seen in "[[Chaos Theory Part 1]]" from [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s ''[[The Transformers (IDW)|The Transformers]]'' ongoing series, and features [[5mm post|5mm-compatible]] ports for his hands and left forearm/turret roof.

: He comes with [[Chop Shop (G1)#Generations|Chop Shop]], who can transform into a stag beetle, a robot, a weapon with a 5mm handle, and a mine plow that attaches to the front of Megatron’s tank mode. He features gearing that opens his pinchers when his legs are moved.

In robot mode, his wingtips detach to combine and transform into his [[Fusion cannon#Deluxe|fusion cannon]] (although it's actually designed after the [[rail gun]] this body was equipped with in IDW's comics, but of course Hasbro couldn't call it ''that'' on a toy's packaging). The cannon can peg into 5mm ports on his hands and forearms. This design was actually taken from an official pitch without Figueroa's permission and with no compensation to the artist; a fact he was rather sore about.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/don-figueroa-designed-idw-s-stealth-bomber-megatron-but-wasn-t-compensated--t96022s0.php "So I read that this was being made into a toy? wow, and I thought only 3rd party companies take stuff without giving any notice, acknowledgement or compensation...

*'''Megatron''' (Leader Class, 2015)
**''Accessories'': Two guns (combine to form rifle), missile

:Part of the first wave of 2015 ''Generations [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Leader Class toys, Megatron transforms from a robot heavily inspired by his Generation 1 animation model into a tank featuring working treads. He includes a sticker sheet featuring two each of Decepticon and Autobot [[insignia]] (the latter in reference to IDW's ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]''), plus stickers intended to replicate those on the original Megatron toy's chest and fusion cannon. Megatron also comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. His box-back bio bears a superficial similarity to our wiki's article on [[Megatron (WFC)|another Megatron]]. He features a spark chamber hatch which is sculpted in likeness to the one seen in "[[Master Blaster]]". In a feature that goes undocumented in Megatron's instructions, his two guns can store underneath the rear of his alternate mode. Although the website description & the package billed the transformation as "15 steps", the toy actually has ''10'' steps.

:Although the toy is depicted in robot mode shots as positioning the cannon with the missile-firing tip forward, it can be flipped around on a pinned swivel to better resemble the classic-styled fusion cannon, although this causes some clearance issues with the arm itself due to the fact the pinned swivel means the cannon cannot be physically removed. Megatron's knee articulation is also greatly restricted, which combined with his lack of ankle joints can make getting him to stand up quite difficult, let alone posing him.

:Select aspects of this design, such as the leg-mounted treads, the general transformation sequence and the tank alt-mode, were used to represent G1 Megatron in ''[[Transformers: Devastation]]''. The toy meanwhile was retooled into [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Generations|''Armada'' Megatron]], which was released at the same time.

:Released as a part of the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#5.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 5.0]], Megatron is a redeco of his [[#Thrilling 30|Legends Class toy]], with his coloration based on his canceled ''Generation 2'' [[#CombatHero|"arctic-camo" Combat Hero Megatron toy]]. He also comes with [[Spacewarp#Generations|Spacewarp]] (a redeco of [[Blast Master#Generations|''Generations'' Payload]]) and his Pretender shell, which is redecoed from [[Grand Maximus#Super-God Masterforce|Grand Maximus]]'s. Double Pretender Megatron also comes with a joint piece for Spacewarp to let her fit in the shell along with Megatron. This joint piece is sculpted to resemble the large chromed laser cannon that the original G1 Megatron toy came with. His Pretender shell weapons are black repaints of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Sentinel Prime (G1)#Generations|Sentinel Prime's rifle]] and Voyager Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#TitansReturnVoyager|Optimus Prime's sword]].

*'''Doomshot & Megatron''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, Rifle, Doomshot Titan Master

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Megatron is a new mold which transforms from robot to tank to plane reminiscent of his [[#Machine Wars|''Machine Wars'' counterpart]] and back. Megatron comes with [[Doomshot#Generations|Doomshot]], a [[Titan Master]] who becomes his head. The G1 toy-accurate 'scrollwork' details on his chest and all Decepticon insignias (on his robot mode chest, jet nosecone, and tank tread cowling) are chrome-backed, factory-applied, low-quality stickers which are notoriously prone to peeling off at the slightest disturbance. As their chrome-backed nature clashes heavily with Megatron's otherwise unpainted torso, replacing them is recommended. His wing stickers are similarly metallic, but appear to adhere better and clash less with the figure's overall aesthetic.

:The fusion cannon is shown in stock renders to be solid black, while the final one is light grey plastic dipped in black paint with the posts left bare. His dark-grey plastic is nowhere near as dark as the stock renders shows, though it is still darker than the light-grey plastic.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. While it initially looks like his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement on Megatron's neck, there is in fact one hidden under the grey parts that form his robot mode collar that allow the missile racks and the Titan Master port to turn in either direction.<ref name="neck">[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/titans-return-voyager-megatron-and-doomshot.1092333/page-18#post-14975031 Detailed look on TFW2005.com]</ref> Due to the nature of his transformation it is possible to transform Megatron into tank mode without removing his head, though this leaves it completely exposed at the back of the tank.

:His fusion cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Titan Master vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the fusion cannon. The fusion cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place. The tank cannon on his turret, while held in ''very'' hard by a pair of ridges and a 5mm post, can also be removed; it can be pegged in by its 5mm post barrel onto a peghole in Megatron's shoulder to recreate G1 Megatron's classic shoulder barrel.

:The instructions for robot-to-tank transformation suggest that you move his robot mode chestplate downwards into the collapsed jet position. It appears to have a clearance issue, with the chest protruding too far; leaving it in robot mode position will ensure there are no clearance issues. However, the chest ''can'' be made to fit better by putting it into position before transforming the treads, preventing the tread panels from getting in the way. Also in some copies of the toy, Megatron's left and right leg panels will randomly pop and stick out. This is especially prominent in tank and jet mode.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was retooled into [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blitzwing]], and redecoed into ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Street Fighter II × Transformers|Megatron]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Vega#Toys|Vega]]<nowiki>]</nowiki>. Megatron would have been redecoed/retooled into [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] with a new Titan Master face for Doomshot as part of the "Action on Hydrus Four" boxset for BotCon 2017 that never came to be.

*'''One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall''' (2-pack, 2016)
:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Megatron is another redeco of the ''Classics'' Voyager toy. Megatron features a new and significantly different deco for the sake of [[for safety reasons|gun safety laws]]. The sides of his gun mode are entirely cast in clear red plastic, his arms are a different shade of red plastic and there is red paint on the legs as well–in addition to the bright orange parts on both the tip of the barrel and the scope, just like the ''Classics'' figure. Whether by design or by accident, his deco strongly resembles the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Nerf]] "[[wikia:nerf:Sonic FIRE|Sonic Fire]]" color scheme.

:''Platinum Edition'' Megatron was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#StandFall|Optimus Prime]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores). Surprisingly, it was (and still is) a common find in Brazilian online stores.

**''ID number:'' '''WFC-S12'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SG-13'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 30]], [[2019]]'''
**''Accessories:'' "D50-R35 Fusion Cannon", "HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher" (combines to form "NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher")
:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Megatron transforms from a G1 cartoon-esque robot to a <s>grizzly battle tank from the ''Command & Conquer'' series</s> Cybertronian tank and back! Megatron's robot mode is pretty accurate to the original cartoon, despite having a completely different altmode. He is armed with 2 weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], one of which is his trademark [[fusion cannon]] called the "D50-R35 Fusion Cannon". The other is the "HPR Telescopic Laserstrike Launcher," with two symmetrical blades facing the opposite direction, and can transform into a large sword resembling the sword included in the Takara release of the [[#Generation 1|original G1 toy]] and can be stored on his back. It can also be mounted on his back to resemble the gun barrel on the original cartoon model's back. Both can combine into the insanely large "NFM Particle Beam Megalauncher," which is meant to be held in his hands or over his head. Like his contemporaries in the ''Siege'' toyline, Megatron features 'battle damage' paint applications all over his head, chest, arms, and legs.

:[[File:TF-Generations-WFC-S-Voyager-Megatron-with-Soundwave's-Gun.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Does this mean I'll turn back into a blaster?"]]
:Due to the way Megatron transforms, it's possible to rotate the turret 180 degrees and use the fusion cannon solely as the tank barrel, in the event one should lose the "Laserstrike Launcher" piece; while not as aesthetically pleasing as the intended transformation, it still works.

:Megatron also suffers a slight design flaw: unlike with the left ankle, the right ankle's pivoting joint has a tendency to not lock back to its straight position once it is unlocked. The only way to amend this is by pressing the top end of the black plastic peg on the right foot. The light grey backpack/central front tank kibble also has a tendency to dislodge if his waist is moved left or right. Due to the Fusion Cannon's slightly longer post, the hand's dorsal panel slightly protrudes when in tank mode. [[Soundwave_(G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Soundwave's]] additional gun can be slotted onto the back of the figure, perfectly mimicking his G1 gun barrel placement. Whether this was intentional or not is unclear.

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Megatron's box art, which reads "RISE FROM THE SHADOWS". Megatron's pose in the instruction manual's front cover is based on the [[:File:Megatronguido.jpg|promotional artwork]] by [[Guido Guidi]].

:Amusingly, the first TakaraTomy (and later, Hasbro's secondary) stock photos of his robot mode depict him wielding the fusion cannon like a handheld weapon.

:In Asia, Megatron is a notorious shelfwarmer, often unsold in large numbers.

:Part of the third wave of ''Bot Shots'' Series 2 single-packs, this new-mold Megatron transforms into a vaguely-animalistic black-and-silver car with wings, and with a robot mode that's also inspired by ''Prime'' Megatron. As a Spin Shot, one manually winds up his upper body beforehand when transforming him into vehicle mode, where striking the front of the vehicle will cause him to burst open and spin while auto-transforming.

*'''Megatron''' (Battle Upgrade, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Backpack, spring-loaded cannon, missile, blaster, energy flail, 2 blaster-pods, "Skywarp" right forearm

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Megatron is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His design is mostly based on Generation 1 Megatron, but with angles and styling very evocative of ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]]. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: While he is (roughly) the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his "energy flail" piece. His ''massive'' "fusion cannon" piece is a spring-loaded missile launcher. He also comes with [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Skywarp]]'s right forearm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Starscream]]'s.

*'''Megatron''' ([[May 29]], [[2014]])
**''ID number:'' '''TFC-D01'''
**''Accessories:'' "Fusion Blade" sword, "Deception Sword" dagger

: Megatron is a silver, red and black [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GenerationsVoyager|Megatron]], itself a [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen:]] [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]]'' Voyager Class [[Bludgeon (ROTF)#Voyager|Bludgeon]] with a new head. He transforms from a Japanese {{w|Type 90 Kyū-maru|Type 90}} tank into a samurai-esque robot mode and features a flexible plastic sword which is made out of a portion of the barrel of the tank's main gun, as well as a smaller dagger. The dagger can be stored in a sheath which is revealed from inside the tank turret, and both blades can be slotted in holes provided on the robot mode's left hip guard. Additionally, the dagger's handle can fit in the base of the sword's handle, forming a double-bladed weapon. He has [[Mech Alive]] [[gimmick]]s in his thighs and turret: sculpted cylinders in his thighs rotate whenever his lower legs are rotated, and pulling his turret open makes a sculpted white "disc" at the center rotate while a scabbard for the dagger hinges over to the side and props itself up for use.

: The vehicle mode is one of the very few Transformer tank toys with rubber components to its treads. Portions of the tread links can unlock, allowing them to hang from the robot mode, while the wheels of the treads are integrated separately into the robot mode form itself. The treads still do not function realistically; small plastic wheels on the underside of the treads help the tank mode roll, as is standard with nearly all Transformer tank toys.

: Megatron was available exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

: The original version of this mold was redecoed into ''Transformers: [[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' [[Banzaitron (TF 2010)|Banzaitron]], and it was differently retooled to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Overlord (Masterforce)#Timelines|Gigatron]].

Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is taken from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Megatron/Chop Shop two-pack's packaging and half-heartedly recolored–ignoring the black and yellow safety striping from the design the art was originally made for–to match the broad strokes of this figure's deco.

:In the United States, Megatron has thus far been found at Big Lots and Family Dollar stores.

: Released under the "TakaraTomy Arts" banner alongside a [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Optimus Prime featuring Original PlayStation|Sony PlayStation version of Optimus Prime]] and outside of any other toyline, Mega Drive Megatron transforms from robot to a scaled-down Japanese [[Sega]] {{w|Sega Genesis|Mega Drive}} video game console–which ironically is about the size of a real-life Mega Drive cartridge. He comes with a gamepad that features pushable buttons which splits in two and attaches to his back like a pair of wings, while the left side of the console detaches and transforms into an arm-mounted cannon attached to his back via the gamepad's cord. He also includes a cartridge depicting the Japanese release of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' that slots into the console/his chest.

: This figure includes what is most likely the smallest accessory to ever be included with a Transformers toy; a small cap that covers the hole left if one does not insert the gamepad into the console mode. The piece is sculpted to resemble an open slot for a gamepad and is a teensy bit ''smaller'' than even the fist parts for a ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]].

In addition to the changes to the console, the red on Megatron's robot mode has been replaced with purple, and the art on the ''Sonic'' cartridge has been changed to match its American release. Even the packaging is changed to evoke Genesis packaging, right down to featuring (awkwardly translated) English text on the back. This version of Megatron is a TakaraTomy Arts online store exclusive.

:Part of the Japan-exclusive ''[[Street Fighter II × Transformers]]'' toyline, Megatron is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' Voyager Class [[#Titans Return|Megatron]] in [[Vega]]'s traditional colors, fleshy bits and all. He transforms from robot to tank to fighter jet (both of made-up model), complete with [[Shadaloo]] [[insignia]]. The smaller [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] unit's robot mode is also painted to resemble Vega.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' figures, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. However, those parts heavily restrict his neck articulation when deployed; unlike many others in his size class, his chest does not contain a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Vega into tank mode without removing his head.

:His cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Headmaster vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the cannon. The cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.

*To date, an exact copy of the black ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' Walther P-38 toy has not been reissued as a Transformer–the e-HOBBY version replaced the blue plastic with red and some of the black plastic parts with silver chrome.
*It seems that no one could get Megatron's [[package art]] right in Japan. His standard release used edited box art from the standard Microchange P-38 toy's black deco, recolored to Megatron's US toy color scheme with shiny "chrome" and red on his legs and arms instead of the Japanese toy's flat gray and blue. The VS-X art replaced the red with blue, but kept the "chrome".

:''Windblade is a [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Revolution5-Windbladeprofile.jpg|thumb|upright=1.55|YOU MAAAAAAAAADE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!]]

'''Windblade''' is a young [[Transformer]] who puts duty and truth first, even when both are difficult. Her friend and bodyguard [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] can get frustrated at times with the strength of Windblade's convictions, and Chromia believes Windblade trusts too much. This may not be a worldview that can survive sharing a planet with [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], and she may learn that at times she will have to choose between truth or duty.

Windblade is a better-than-average swordswoman, but her claim to fame is her rare talent for communicating with dormant [[Titan (group)|Titans]], for which she bears the title of [[Cityspeaker]]. Like other Cityspeakers, her face bears the markings of [[Caminus (Titan)|Caminus]].

{{quote|I am a child of the Titan '''Caminus'''. I am the cityspeaker for the last city on '''Cybertron'''. And '''both''' are my home. I have only '''begun''' to fight.|Windblade|[[Windblade issue 4|''Windblade'' vol. 1 #4]]}}

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|''Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye'' #26]]

====Cityspeaker====
[[File:Windblade4-leavingCaminus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Caminus's Angels]]

Windblade was a Transformer who hailed from the planet [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], born from the [[hot spot]] within the [[Caminus (Titan)|Titan]] who had colonized the planet long ago; as with other Cybertronian colonies, the inhabitants of Caminus, isolated from Cybertron, maintained gender dimorphism, with Windblade being female. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} Like many Camiens, Windblade was a devout adherent of the [[Way of Flame]], which venerated the [[Thirteen]] [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s as living gods and regarded [[Solus Prime]] as the greatest member of this pantheon. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} In her youth, Windblade was friends with [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]], and sometimes discussed science and engineering with the latter, {{storylink|An Axe to Break the Ice}} and eventually trained to become a [[cityspeaker]], throwing herself into her work even when others told her to hold back. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

Long cut off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Caminus' isolation ended with the arrival of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]]; Windblade, her bodyguard [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], and quantum engineer [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] joined his crew in hopes of reconnecting with their homeworld and gaining aid for their ailing planet. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} Secretly, however, Windblade wondered if she'd been chosen for the mission so that Caminus could be rid of her, and swore not to fail at the daunting task ahead of her. {{storylink|If I Know You}} {{storylink|The Chosen One}} Days after their joining Thunderclash's crew, his ship, the ''[[Vis Vitalis]]'', came across the Autobot sage [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], who informed them that his longstanding partner, the Titan [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], was grievously wounded and required help. With Trion unable to help due to a quest that otherwise occupied him, and Thunderclash unwell, Windblade and her friends boarded a fast shuttlecraft and sped to the ocean world of [[Hydrophena]], where Metroplex was currently in hiding as an [[alchemical virus]] ravaged his body. The trio set themselves up inside his body, and began attempting to repair him. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}}

[[File:BurningBright-Windblade.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66|''They're Windblade and the brain Yes, Windblade and the brain One is an organ The other's fan-made!'']]

After some time, Windblade's group was found by a team of Autobots from the ''[[Lost Light]]'', who had been summoned there through complicated means by Metroplex himself. Using their ship's engines, they were able to give Metroplex's [[spark]] a jump-start, giving him the strength to [[space bridge]] back to Cybertron, where a battle between its inhabitants and the [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]] was taking place. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Though surprised by the sight of another Titan, Windblade and the other Autobots refused to abandon Metroplex's body; presently, [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] returned Metroplex's severed thumb, laden with the transmutative [[Ore-7]], to him, healing him allowing him to defeat the Necrotitan. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Following the battle, Windblade asked Metroplex about the ore's origins, and he explained that he had picked it up during his travels and jettisoned it when he was attacked by [[Ammonite]]s. Windblade related her findings to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]], but was unable to coax any information out of Metroplex that would help Magnus and the rest of the ''Lost Light'' crew in their search for the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} Not long afterwards, Ammonites began to swarm Cybertron, forcing Magnus to radio Windblade to ask Metroplex for aid. The titan needed no encouragement, and began to fight the horde. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} The Ammonites were subsequently destroyed by Metalhawk, after which Windblade and her fellow Camiens were called on by [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] to engage the splintered components of [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}

When the fighting was done, Windblade sought out [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], to pass on a one-word message given to her by Alpha Trion before she had parted company with him: "[[Earth]]". {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|Hello Cruel World}} {{storylink|Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|The Mind Bomb}} Prime first had to preside over the trial of Megatron, which Windblade was in the audience for, {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}} but after that was done, he prepared to leave to follow Trion's trail. Windblade and [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] stayed behind on Cybertron, now under [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s leadership; Prime warned her to be wary of the Seeker, but Windblade simply returned that she was wary of ''everyone'' on this war-blighted world. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World|Hello Cruel World}}

[[File:BotAndHerCity-illustriousleader.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|But aside from that, he's great!]]

Six months after the battle of the Titans, Windblade had tried settling into life on Cybertron as it had settled into Metroplex. She had an important role as Cityspeaker to the heavily-damaged Metroplex, though she was a novice at it and Starscream, the planet's leader, grew impatient and suspicious of her. Rolling blackouts threatened the city, and after she investigated the cause of those with Chromia, she also sought advice for how to best interact with Starscream. After talking with many of the denizens of [[Blurr (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Blurr]]'s bar, she came to the sobering realization that Starscream was a scheming opportunist who shouldn't be trusted. Not long after this revelation, an explosion seriously damaged her and put her under medical care. Moments before the explosion, she had seen [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], Starscream's henchman, leaving the scene, and as she awoke from her medical bed, seeing Starscream approach her, she suspected Cybertron's leader had tried to kill her. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}}

[[File:Windblade3-altmodes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]

After giving Windblade a veiled threat, Starscream and Rattrap departed. Windblade revealed to Chromia that she had found traces of explosives, before the bodyguard discovered reporters spying on them. Later the two of them met up with Ironhide, who they had sent to guard Metroplex's brain. Windblade searched Metroplex's brain for reasons why Starscream would cause the blackouts, when Chromia noticed that [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] had let slipped in an interview that he knew something. Windblade was able to convince him to show her what he discovered despite his unwillingness to talk; a "mine" Starscream had build inside Metroplex, used to sift the Titan for the Regenesis ore in his body. Windblade returned to the reporters and brought them and the denizens of Blurr's bar down there to reveal the mine to them. Three of the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s guarded the mine, and they were more than happy to try to take down Windblade and her friends. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} Though she fought back valiantly, at a moment of weakness Starscream and Rattrap interrupted the battle to arrest Windblade and the others (minus Chromia and Sky-Byte) for "crimes against Cybertron."

While the others were jailed, Windblade was interrogated violently by Rattrap. However, this interaction convinced her that while Starscream may be responsible for the mine, he was not responsible for the bomb that killed several citizens and nearly her. Then, Chromia and Sky-Byte invaded the compound to free Windblade and the others, and Windblade confided in her friend that she had discovered that Starscream was not the culprit they were after, to Chromia's shock. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}} Starscream and his goons were swiftly upon them, and the battle recommenced. Windblade and Chromia barely managed to duck inside Metroplex's brain room as Windblade attempted to hook up directly to Metroplex and solve everything. Merged mentally with Metroplex, finally she understood everything. She saw other Transformer colony worlds that had also broken off from Cybertron. She saw Caminus before he went lost. And, sadly, she saw Chromia in all her rage, and realized that her friend, her bodyguard, was the one who had placed the bombs in that street corner, that Chromia was willing to murder others to scare Windblade off the planet and to safety.

[[File:Windblade4-nolongerwindblade.jpg|thumb|left|350px|"I am the Windblade Collective."]]

Supremely disappointed in Chromia, Windblade nevertheless had to keep the peace for the greater good. She plotted with Starscream to keep things buried, so that there would be a Cybertron for those lost colonies to eventually return to. Windblade left the both of them, wiser, but morally compromised. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}

Windblade was present when [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] emerged from medical rehabilitation. Recently betrayed by Chromia and bewildered by Starscream's machinations, Windblade sought out the nearly-murdered engineer as someone she could potentially trust. After Wheeljack reluctantly agreed to help rebuild [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], she and Ironhide observed in silent solidarity. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}}

When Optimus Prime returned from Earth, Windblade, Starscream, and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] told him about a series of murders that were targeting Decepticons. {{storylink|City of Steel (issue)|City of Steel}} The murderer struck again outside of [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]]'s bar, killing one of his friends, and so she helped Optimus Prime follow this apparent lead. Inside the bar they found a very angry Gutcruncher and an expatriated [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]]. It seemed to be a dead end, and the two left, but shortly afterwards the bar exploded, {{storylink|Fight or Flee (issue)|Fight or Flee}} killing everyone inside. After Windblade returned with them to investigate, Sandstorm snapped at Optimus Prime for killing his friends. This anger was short lived, however, ending when a new lead surfaced with the discovery of a an [[infernus bullet]] shell in the wreckage. {{storylink|Quest for Fire}}

This lead culminated in the brutal treatment and incarceration of the [[Firecon]]s, and Windblade took this opportunity to raise an eyebrow at the Autobots' violent methods. Things escalated further when it seemed [[Slag (G1)|Slug]] was responsible for the murders, causing Windblade to pull Optimus Prime out of an imminent battle with him. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}} Optimus Prime realized who the real culprit was, and he enlisted Windblade and Starscream to set up a ruse to draw him out. Ultimately, the murderer was revealed to be Sandstorm. Afterwards, Windblade accompanied Optimus Prime on a personal errand to return the remaining half of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to the spot where he had been given it millions of years ago. Optimus confided in Windblade that he was worried that violent Autobots like Slug and Sandstorm who had trouble acclimating to a post-war climate were the greatest threat to their race's newfound peace. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (issue)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

[[File:FirstContact-lostcolonies.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

On their way home, Optimus and Windblade were attacked by a group of angry Decepticons, but their attackers dispersed following the arrival of Ironhide and Chromia. The group returned to Metroplex, where Windblade finally revealed the culmination of her work: the Titan's space bridge was back on line, ready to connect with the long-lost Cybertronian colonies, including Caminus. Though Windblade knew that reopening contact between Caminus and Cybertron could mean that Cybertron could help her impoverished homeworld, she was ''also'' aware that Starscream could very well use the space bridge to build a new Cybertronian empire with himself at the head, and expressed her worries to Optimus.

These fears were proven immediately correct; when Starscream learned of the project, he chafed at the idea of forming representative government despite Optimus and Windblade's protestations, but only after a brief communique from the ''Lost Light'' did Windblade realize the true scope of Starscream's machinations: Ironhide and Chromia, who had been guarding the active spacebridge portal, had been struck down by [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], rebuilt by the powers of the recently purloined [[Enigma of Combination]], and, led by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]], had staged an attack on Caminus. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}}

[[File:TheSumAndItsParts-MistressofFlame.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|"Can't you see I'm a little busy~?"]]

After bringing the two guards round, the pair dashed into the portal after Menasor, and Windblade, aware that her colony would surely deify the Prime, instructed Optimus to stay behind. Once she was through to Caminus, Windblade helped rescue Chromia, and after sizing up the threat she contacted Optimus Prime for support. After [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] joined the battle and decisively ended it, Windblade met with her world's [[Forgefire Parliament]] and pleaded for understanding in response to Cybertron's terrible first impression, and then returned to Cybertron to explain the Way of Flame to Optimus: as a "living Prime," her people would surely regard Prime as a god, and follow his every command... and while this would surely undercut Starscream's own grab for power, Optimus was himself wary of harnessing this power for his own ends. As Windblade expected, when she and Optimus walked back to Caminus through the space bridge, the [[Mistress of Flame]] and her citizens immediately ignored Starscream's bloviating and circled around Optimus to bow. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}}

As Starscream tried to salvage his grab for power, having staged the entire incident as a way to win the goodwill of the people of Caminus, Optimus and the Mistress of Flame bristled at their differences—Optimus insisted on helping Caminus rebuild, the Mistress of Flame considered the Prime's devotion to the will of the people to be sacrilege, and Windblade grimaced at the awkwardness. Later on, during the relief efforts, Optimus fielded a call from [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]], and "neglected" to mention Superion's involvement in the attack. Windblade noted that recently Optimus had claimed he never lied. {{storylink|The Possible Light}}

Subsequent efforts to build a functioning parliament continued to stall, with Cybertronian and Camien representatives—including Windblade—at a deadlock regarding Optimus's status on the Council. Just as a group of representatives from the ''Lost Light'' had arrived, Windblade received word that Caminus was under attack by Prowl's [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], who was determined to cut off Cybertron from its colony worlds in order to stop Starscream from growing an empire. Though Devastator was then defeated by the newly-created [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], Windblade insisted that Prowl would be tried on Caminus for his actions, saving him from an immediate execution on Cybertron. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}}

[[File:AllThatRemains-WindbladevsMenasor.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

Although she was busy with her political duties, Windblade found the time to work on Metroplex's space bridge with Wheeljack, where the two chatted about the future and the potential implications of re-contacting Cybertron's lost colonies. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} Events came to a head, however, when Menasor and a group of disenfranchised Decepticons sparked a riot at the spacebridge, and while Prowl forcibly took control of Prime through "[[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]," Windblade helped provide crowd control alongside Starscream and the [[Badgeless]] while Windblade summoned reinforcements from Caminus, including Chromia and some emigrant Decepticons, and Windblade subsequently helped keep a defeated Menasor down while Optimus Maximus took on Devastator.

[[File:AnUneventfulNight-WindbladeArcee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Oh no, don't get her started on [[Spotlight: Arcee|that]] again.]]

After the conclusion of the "Combiner Wars", Windblade reported back to the Mistress of Flame and informed her that their long negotiations had finally borne fruit in the form of the "[[Council of Worlds]]:" an interplanetary parliament where Cybertron and its colonies would all have an equal voice, with Windblade the new delegate for Caminus, opposite Cybertron's delegate Rattrap and Council head Starscream. Although Windblade was still troubled by her looming duties and the prospect of having to keep Starscream's ambitions in check, the Mistress reminded her that a true servant of Solus Prime never stopped trying to forge a better world. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

The Mistress of Flame decided to celebrate the Caminus-Cybertron alliance by declaring an official holiday; Windblade temporarily donned some ceremonial paint in honor of the occasion. Windblade was soon contacted by Chromia, who informed her that [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] had just stolen the Enigma of Combination. The duo chased Arcee out to the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], where they encountered [[Pyra Magna]] and her [[Torchbearer]]s, Camien explorers on a mission of their own. In the ensuing fight, [[Rust Dust]] accidentally activated the Enigma, fusing the Torchbearers together into the huge and angry [[Victorion]]. After rescuing Arcee from the vengeful combiner and taking down the giant's weapons, Windblade was able to persuade Victorion to disassemble, and later returned the Enigma to Badgeless custody. Despite Arcee's obejctions, Windblade was able to cover up the events of the day so as to protect the fragile peace. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}

====Representative of Caminus====
[[File:Windblade4-metroplexdescribesvelocitron.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

With the inauguration of the Council of Worlds as the newest addition to the [[Republic of Cybertron]], Windblade's status as official Camien delegate meant that she took the lead on a number of intercultural issues, including a dispute between some Camien immigrants over the Decepticon's siphoning of energy from Metroplex's structure. As a result, she was late for the first meeting between Cybertron and [[Velocitron]], another of the colony worlds, and as a result failed to impress Velocitronian ambassador [[Knock Out (G1)|Knock Out]], who declined their offer to join the Council. Windblade attempted to salvage the situation by inviting Knock Out and his cohort [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] to a party at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], and learned from Moonracer that Velocitron was in a period of cultural stagnation. In the hopes of brokering an alliance, Windblade recruited the help of [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] to win the [[Benefit 500]], which would allow them to make a request of Velocitronian ruler [[Override (BW)|Override]]. Though Metroplex's cryptic comments on his brother [[Navitas]] proved unhelpful, the group—joined by Chromia and Ironhide—secretly bridged to Velocitron... only to be confronted by freezing cold temperatures, a wall of fire, and the wheeled city of [[Delta]] bearing down on them. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}}

[[File:RaceAgainstTheLight-sowecanwin.jpg|thumb|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Windblade, champion of honor!]]

With Moonracer's help, the quartet were soon safely aboard, and on their tour of the city the group learned more about the stratified nature of Velocitronian society and the sharp social divide between racers and non-racers. While Blurr registered for the race, Windblade and Chromia met [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]], who showed them to Navitas's brain chamber. Windbalde had hoped to use her talents as a cityspeaker to help manipulate the track above to Blurr's advantage, but years of neglect had rendered Navitas all but senile, forcing Windblade to take drastic action. Clambering into the Titan's brain, Windblade took manual control of the Titan, eliminating the other competitors, guiding Blurr to a suitably flashy victory, and finally persuading the Velocitronians to join the Council. The mood was quickly squelched, however, when Wheeljack contacted her to reveal that Starscream had made his ''own'' play for power while Windblade was offworld, and had secured the allegiance of another colony planet. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}}

[[File:Windblade6-abloobloo.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.66]]

That planet turned out to be [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]], and after meeting representatives [[Vanquish (G1)|Vanquish]] and [[Fireshot (G1)|Fireshot]], Windblade confronted Starscream about his deceptions and the two reached a shaky agreement: they would visit the next planet ''together''. The next morning, the pair visited [[Eukaris]], with Windblade receiving a helpful tip to lean on [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] from Rattrap, who had secretly visited the planet before. The Eukarian [[beast mode]] Transformers proved distrustful of Transformers with vehicle modes, and although Windblade's Camien origins allowed her to speak. The presence of vehicular "standard-formers" on the planet awoke Eukaris's Titan [[Chela]], intent on killing the intruders so as to fulfill the directives of his "master" [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]]. Though Windblade tried to reach his brain to negotiate, Chela manipulated his own internal structures to pin her down, and Starscream simply shot the Titan in his brain module, instantly killing the giant. Although Windblade was saddened by Chela's death, Blackarachnia consoled her by reciting one of her prophecies: Chela's death was the first step on changing Eukaris for the better. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}

[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-WindbladeElita.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

Windblade returned to Cybertron disgruntled at how events had gone, but after some encouraging words from Chromia and Metroplex, was soon accompanying Starscream to visit the next Titan, [[Tempo]]. They found not the ship of pacifistic philosophers they were expecting, however; rather, they learned that this Titan had been renamed "[[Vigilem|Carcer]]," crewed by a group of warriors and led by the fearsome [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]. Though Starscream's deceitful ways nearly persuaded Elita to execute the Seeker, Windblade was able to cover for her compatriot at the last moment, and persuaded the crew of the ship to join the alliance. She was disturbed, however, at the secrets Elita One's people were keeping, despite their vocal adherence to "truth:" Elita One claimed that her people had renamed Tempo to [[Vigilem|Carcer]], when Windblade knew from talking to Metroplex that "Carcer" was in fact the name of a different Titan. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Windblade went to confer with Metroplex regarding the names of the Titan and the lack of records on "Carcer" on either Cybertron or Caminus, but Metroplex, aware that "Carcer" was but an alias for the evil [[Vigilem]], whom he and his fellow Titans had banished at the conclusion of the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], chose to keep the truth from Windblade. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

[[File:Aphelion-optimusandwindblade.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

With a steady tide of colonists travelling to Cybertron, Starscream suggested a new holiday in his honour: "[[Chosen One Day]]". Although Starscream's egocentric holiday didn't turn out as he had hoped, Windblade, her friends, and several Council members visited Starscream's quarters to throw him a party anyway, putting aside their differences for one night. {{storylink|Choose Me}}

Over the coming weeks, Windblade continued to serve on the Council while Optimus Prime and his group of Earthbound Autobots contended with [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s splinter cell of Decepticon radicals on Earth. When Optimus made a brief visit to Caminus to meet with the Mistress of Flame, Windblade filled him in on the situation on Cybertron, and the pair watched as the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s came into conflict with visiting Camiens [[Aileron]] and [[Sterling]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 1: Aphelion|Aphelion}} Starscream later contacted Windblade after [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]]'s Decepticons sparked a riot. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

[[File:NewWorldsOrder-WindbladeStarscream.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|"An empire has ''followed me home''!"]]

In the ensuing struggle, Windblade and her team tried to maintain order against those Decepticons who had chosen to join Galvatron and warp to Earth via Metroplex's space bridge as part of Galvatron's dream of conquering Earth. Even though both Victorion and Superion were called in to successfully quash the insurgents, with Wheeljack able to restore the device to full functionality, Optimus Prime saw a way to permanently forestall Cybertronian aggression and bridged to Earth to declare that the planet was now a protectorate of the Council of Worlds—much to Windblade's concern. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

The Council of Worlds held an emergency meeting to discuss Optimus's course of action, and though Windblade suggested that they hear Optimus out, she maintained that the Prime should not hold a seat on the council, and that the Council itself should only govern the interactions between those worlds colonized by Cybertronians. Starscream was left agitated by how Windblade was willing ''to'' give Prime that benefit, when it was worse than anything ''he'd'' done.{{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

At some point after this meeting, Windblade was left distraught by a broadcast from the crew of the ''Lost Light'': her old friend Velocity, among others, facing execution and making requests for her funeral. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}}

[[File:0700-whathappened.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

While the Council tried to keep order on Cybertron itself, a slew of [[mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on Iacon's Decepticon population, including a supplier of parts for Carcer, forced a reluctant Starscream to investigate the matter at Windblade and Obsidian's demands. When the meeting had been adjourned, their guest Ironhide invited Windblade and Chromia to help him deal with a rowdy customer at Maccadam's, but Windblade declined, citing paperwork. However, things soon got out of hand, and [[Drunkatron|a bystander]] was killed in the incident. Windblade accused Starscream of orchestrating the attacks, causing Starscream to threaten to drop the news about Chromia's bombings... but before they could discuss this further, [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] revealed that footage of the shooting had already been broadcast live across Iacon. {{storylink|07:00:00}}

The footage incited an angry mob, who marched on Starscream's office demanding the truth about the attack, prompting Windblade to storm into Starscream's office and blame him for his increasingly totalitarian government. At a later meeting of the Council, Windblade was present when Ironhide volunteered to step up as the new head of the Badgeless. As the crowd dispersed, Windblade pressed Starscream for answers about Swindle - thought dead since the disastrous "Combiner War" - but Starscream refused to play along, putting Windblade in charge of shutting down Onslaught and the surviving Combaticons, and once again threatening to spill the beans about the Metroplex bombings. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

Following Starscream's instructions to keep watch on Onslaught, Windblade visited Metroplex's brain chamber; when Chromia arrived, she revealed that she was being blackmailed by Starscream. Neither one of them were able to recover a cache from Chromia's hidden files which documented the space bridge incident, which had been corrupted by someone else. As weeks passed, Chromia worked to unscramble the files while Windblade played along with Starscream's forces - until things finally came to a head when Rattrap revealed Swindle to the other Combaticons, using the Enigma of Combination to probe Swindle's mind and inadvertently creating a new combiner: [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]!. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}}

[[File:TheLineBetweenUs-Windbladedroopy.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Droopy wings = Sad Windblade.]]

As Bruticus ran amok in the streets of Iacon, Starscream blamed Windblade for failing to keep an eye on the Combaticon leader and demanded that she kill the combiner. Windblade initially refused, but when Starscream threatened to reveal Chromia's secret Windblade finally pushed back and contacted Chromia. Windblade asked her to help the Combaticons expose Starscream's own dirty secrets and return to Caminus before Starscream could retaliate. Windblade tried to talk down Bruticus, but the combiner retaliated against her - only Ironhide's intervention saved the two Camiens. When Bruticus had been reduced to his components, Windblade tried to resuscitate the unconscious Combaticons in the hopes of getting them to talk. With no other alternatives, Chromia finally went on live television and announces that she was responsible for the Acrolight bombings. All Windblade could do was watch as her best friend was arrested. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

[[File:TheLastAutobot-windbladeandstarscream.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

Shortly after the conclusion of the Bruticus incident, the Council would meet with Optimus to hear his side of the story, and although Windblade tried to be diplomatic, [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] was quick to demand an explanation. Although Prime insisted that his motives were pure, Windblade couldn't side with Prime's recent actions, and the Council unanimously voted against allowing Earth a seat on the council. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} During a subsequent emergency meeting, however, footage from Earth that depicted Optimus raising the Titan [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] from the ground prompted the religious colonists to reconsider their vote, and it was decided that Earth, "ruled" as it were, by a Prime, would, indeed, received a seat on the Council. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}}

When a massive energy discharge was detected at the former site of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], Windblade pushed Starscream to investigate, and the two fliers headed out. Shockingly, they found the city intact within a crater, but this matter was quickly forgotten when the two received news that the [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] had seemingly returned from the dead, and was slaughtering Decepticons in their ghetto. When the ex-Prime attacked Starscream with a [[Spark disruptor]], Windblade was able to jump the disruptor onto her own spark, where its detonation was non-fatal thanks to the differing frequency of Camien sparks. The pair quickly flew to regroup with the forces fighting Sentinel Prime at the space bridge. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} When Optimus and [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] returned to Cybertron from their encounter with Sentinel on [[Prion (planet)|Prion]], Windblade met up with the duo, and encouraged the demoralized Autobot leader to take his victories where he could get them. {{storylink|White Heat}}

[[File:ConcordeHymn-ceasefire.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Some time later, Pyra Magna and Soundwave called Windblade to Earth to help deal with the recalcitrant Metrotitan, who had gone dormant and refused to communicate with anyone. However, days of searching his systems turned up no mechanical faults. {{storylink|Informed}} In between repairs, Windblade remainedon Earth for a time, helping to coordinate Prime's goodwill missions across the globe, meaning that she was on hand after a mysterious [[Ore-13]] explosion on [[Mount Olympus]]. The explosion coincided with Jazz and Arcee running afoul of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]], Earth's newest defense force, in [[Oregon]], but the standoff was interrupted by the arrival of [[Rom]] the [[Space Knight]], who interrupted the fracas to kill several members of [[G.I. Joe]], including what appeared to be [[Joe Colton (Dire Wraith)|Joe Colton]] himself. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}} Realizing that the Cybertronians would be blamed for the attack, the Autobots and Soundwave pursued the alien to [[Umpqua National Forest]], where the alien, Rom, explained that he was tracking the malevolent, shapeshifting [[Dire Wraith]]s, who had infiltrated the human forces. {{storylink|The Divine Source of Liberty}}

[[File:Informed-WindbladeLadyShazraella.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|[[George Takei|Oh, My.]]]]

Back at Autobot City, the efforts to communicate with Metrotitan continued, until Pyra Magna happened to suggest that the Titan hadn't "malfunctioned"—his silence was ''deliberate'', and he was waiting for a Prime to communicate with him. Unsure of Metrotitan's true intentions and unwilling to endanger Optimus, Windblade opted to merge her own mind with Metrotitan's. The Titan wasn't happy to be communicating with her; he explained that he was merely trying to pass on a message from one of the Thirteen before shunting Windblade's consciousness into [[Microspace]], where she encountered [[Micronus Prime]], its creator. The Prime warned her that she would have to experience his message for herself, and so her new avatar was set adrift in the destructive [[entropy cloud]] that threatened that realm. Before long, the forces of the evil [[Baron Karza]] found the young Camien, and Windblade was interrogated by his wife [[Shazraella|Lady Shazraella]]; there, Windblade learned about the war that threatened the stability of the Microverse. One of Shazraella's handmaidens sacrificed herself to set Windblade free as soon as her mistress's back was turned, allowing Windblade's avatar to fade away and return her consciousness to her normal body. Optimus was hesitant to follow through on her plea to help Microspace, wary of the dark lineage of the Primes despite Windblade's insistence that Primes were divine beings. Unable to blaspheme against Optimus Prime, Windblade grudgingly promised to follow her Prime and understand his motives. {{storylink|Informed}}

[[File:OShipOfState-Windblade.jpg|right|thumb|250px|You can feel the cyber-spittle splattering from here.]]

When the Transformers and Rom convened to strategize, Windblade continued to argue that assisting Microspace should be their top priority - a sentiment that Soundwave agreed with, believing that all of the recent events had to be connected. Optimus took command and decided that the Autobots would need to help Earth first. When Rom took matters into his own hands by sending Ore-13 through Metrotitan's space bridge to put them beyond the reach of the Wraiths, the Autobots moved to stop the Space Knight, and Optimus realized the error of his ways, resolving that they would have to find a way to save both worlds. {{storylink|O Ship of State}}

Meanwhile, [[Snake-Eyes]] had infiltrated Autobot City and distracted Windblade long enough to sneak into the complex. There, he encountered Arcee and the recently arrived ''[[Heliopolis]]''; crew member [[Acroyear (Micronaut)|Acroyear]] joined the fight and drew the attention of the three Cybertronians. When Windblade investigated the tiny spaceship, she recognized the lifeforms from her own adventures within that realm. {{storylink|The New Colossus}} Things only got worse when Karza showed up in their universe, and fused with the Dire Wraiths and the technology of [[M.A.S.K.]] to form a gigantic, super-powered colossus. Windblade realized that the monster was speaking Ancient Cybertronian. Following an impromptu team-up with the resident do-gooders, the team hatched a plan to send Karza back to whence he had came, and in the ensuing batlte Windblade used her cityspeaking talents to activate Metrotitan's flight mode and lift the entire city to safety. {{storylink|Valley Forge}}

====Vigilem====
[[File:DesperateTimes-CarcerTeam.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Dramatic theme music goes here.]]

After helping to save the Earth and ensuring that Optimus and Earth's other heroes would help keep the planet safe, Windblade returned to Cybertron feeling very unsure of her role in the future of both worlds. Despite everything, Windblade was once again forced to step up when a horde of undead Titans—summoned by [[Infinitus]] several months ago after her encounter with "Sentinel Prime"—prepared to make landfall on Cybertron. As Starscream and the other members of the Council dug in for war, Windblade took control of Metroplex's combat functions as the [[zombies]] arrived but was unable to prevent the Titan from being dragged down by his undead brethren. {{storylink|Ping}} Trapped inside Metroplex, Windblade and [[Lightbright (G1)|Lightbright]] disconnected Metroplex's brain module so that the undead would think that Metroplex had perished. Regrouping at the [[Spire]], Starscream informed everyone that despite his repeated pleas, Elita One would ''not'' transform her own Titan to provide additional firepower, and so Windblade proposed a risky plan to sneak aboard Carcer and manually reactivate the Titan. After Lightbright had been given a holographic disguise to look like Windblade, the group boarded Carcer while Devastator led a frontal assault on Carcer as a distraction. {{storylink|Desperate Times}}

[[File:Rubicon-WindbladeVigilem.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

While the disguised Lightbright and her team distracted Carcer's security forces, Windblade's managed to breach the Titan's brain module, only to be confronted by Obsidian, who refused them access. Though Windblade and her group brought down Obsidian, the subsequent mental merge revealed that Elita's Titan was neither Carcer, nor Tempo, but rather ''[[Vigilem]]'', villainous Titan of [[Liege Maximo]]. {{storylink|Desperate Measures (Till All Are One)|Desperate Measures}} As Vigilem struggled to awaken after millennia of hibernation, Windblade took control of his body directly to battle the horde, but the dual strain of resisting his whispers while puppeteering his form proved too much for her; instead, Vigilem agreed to a truce, taking partial control to destroy the zombies so that Vigilem himself could then take revenge on Cybertron. Indeed, as the last of the Titans were felled, Vigilem turned his attentions to Metroplex, until Windblade forced him away and then shifted her mental energies to try and stop him from freeing [[Liege Maximo]], imprisoned at the center of his body. Were it not for the last of the undead distracting her, she may very well have succeeded but Vigilem used her moment of weakness to seize control of ''both'' their bodies. When Elita arrived to destroy Vigilem's brain, the Titan downloaded his mind into Windblade's, and sending her into stasis lock. {{storylink|Rubicon}} To the outside world however, Windblade appeared dead. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

[[File:IfIKnowYou-VigilemVsWindblade.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

Her body was brought to a hospital where [[Windblade's doctor|a doctor]] deduced that Vigilem's mind had jumped into Windblade's own body; indeed, inside her mind, Windblade's consciousness was very much alive, forced to contend with Vigilem's own avatar, who tried to convince her to merge their [[Spark]]s into one so that they could both survive. Despite Vigilem's temptations and attempts to undercut her own morals, Windblde continued to resist, {{storylink|If I Know You}} doubling down on her attempts to safely contain Vigilem until she realized that such a feat was impossible; rather, she would defend herself until her mind collapsed from the strain, killing them both. This stalemate continued until Starscream, with the [[mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] assistance of [[Airachnid]], patched himself into their shared mind to rescue Windblade—unaware that Vigilem himself could make the jump into his ''own'' consciousness. Enraged by Starscream's recklessness, Windblade watched as Vigilem did just that: taking the form of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], Windblade followed the pair into a mental representation of Kaon, rescuing Starscream's spark before Vigilem could obliterate it and seize control of the Seeker's body.

[[File:YourFirstMistake-forging.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

Thinking his foe destroyed, Vigilem began rewriting the Seeker's mind while Windblade glimpsed Starscream's memories and was horrified at the process of cold construction by which he was created. Glimpsing Starscream's spark being placed in one of many identical, pre-built bodies, she speculated that Starscream's constant changing of bodies was his spark's attempt to find its "true form." Summoning a mental copy of the [[Forge of Solus Prime]], Windblade began forging Starscream's "true" form out of his spark, each strike summoning a spectre of a Cybertronian who'd had a great impact on Starscream's life to fight off Vigilem... and, eventually, Starscream's mental avatar was reborn into a towering vision of his "true form," which promptly stomped on Vigilem. Assuming a resplendent form of her own, Windblade defeated Vigilem by shoving his avatar into her own spark, "burning away" his impurities until only the truth of his being remained. Befitting the Titan of Liege Maximo, however, Vigilem's spark contained ''no'' truth, and the Titan's mind finally died.

Returning to the waking world, Windblade cheekily smiled at Starscream and told him that by helping him find his truth, she'd found her own as well. No longer would she be a mouthpiece for others, or subservient to the Way of Flame and the lineage of Primes: she would be her own 'bot, unafraid to speak her mind. {{storylink|Your First Mistake}}

[[File:FirstStrike1-RedShadows.jpg||thumb|left|300px|Ninja vs. geisha, in a battle of the pastiches!]]

Soon afterwards, the time came for [[Earth]] to properly join the Council of Worlds, having appointed [[Marissa Faireborn]] as an ambassador. Windblade was present in [[Iacon]] during the ceremony, but as Starscream prepared to give a speech, an explosion sent the crowd into a panic—unbeknownst to the Cybertronians, [[Joe Colton]] and his [[Iron Ring]] had chosen to launch a genocidal attack on Cybertron in the name of [[human]] sovereignty. As security conducted evacuations, Windblade attempted to help a fallen civilian... only for the wounded Transformer to reveal itself as a Trojan horse filled with a horde of [[Red Shadows]]. {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}} Even with Ironhide's authorization of lethal force and Optimus Prime providing backup, she and the Prime retreated back to the [[Spire]], where the other members of the Council struggled to pick up the pieces—and Windblade's fears regarding Elita and Starscream's ability to work together was well founded when Elita announced her decision to kill Marissa and all the other humans. {{storylink|First Strike issue 2|First Strike #2}} When [[Skyburst (G1)|Skyburst]] and [[Stormclash]] arrived on Cybertron, they glimpsed Windblade exasperatedly throwing her hands up during a Council meeting before members of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and [[M.A.S.K.]] were brought before them, with Elita ordering their execution. {{storylink|First Strike issue 3|First Strike #3}}

[[File:FirstStrike4-windbladetransforms.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

Windblade objected to that, feeling the Council should not be reduced to genocide by fear prompting Elita to instead propose mass deportation. After [[Scarlett]] had given something vaguely resembling an explanation regarding the [[Iron Ring]]'s plan, Starscream threw her and her forces in jail. Nonetheless, Starscream ordered a mobilization against the threat with Windblade volunteering to confer with Metroplex. When Optimus offered aid however, she coldly rebuked him later explaining to Ironhide that she tired of his constant military mindset as she pulled up cameras in the central district eventually finding the villains in the filtration systems. Observing everything from the security cameras, Windblade watched in shock and horror as Colton's forces easily routed both squads. {{storylink|First Strike issue 4|First Strike #4}} Windblade began brainstorming a plan, only to find Optimus had taken his leave. Intercepting Optimus outside the prison, a skeptical Windblade let he and his team pass, if only to prevent further damage to Iacon, but noted that that had been the last time she would bow to any [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]. Windblade then went to Starscream to report on Optimus's actions only to find [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] had already done so. {{storylink|First Strike issue 5|First Strike #5}}

Windblade remained behind to keep an optic on Metroplex, when the Council moved out to arrest Optimus, and after the battle in Cybertron's core concluded shortly thereafter, the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] that [[Merklynn]] had activated prompted a "scream" from the planet as the device corrupted Cybertron's supply of energon. Windblade was on hand to persuade Metroplex into translating the signal that Cybertron beamed into deep space, and its meaning was simple: "Welcome. Death." {{storylink|First Strike issue 6|First Strike #6}}

====First Delegate====
[[File:TheChosenOne-windbladealtmode.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
As Iacon began yet another reconstruction, Windblade was due to retake her spot on the Council of Worlds which Starscream had chosen to commemorate with a photo-op. When Windblade nearly let slip that [[Liege Maximo]] had escaped, Starscream kicked out the press shocking the cityspeaker that he hadn't told the populace. Learning that the Mistress of Flame supported this was the last straw for Windblade who stormed out and told [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]] and [[Longtooth]] about the truth regarding "Carcer". The resulting news wave resulted in Windblade being banished from Caminus before she was attacked by a sympathetic Camien and a rather miffed Carcerian. After those two had been chased off, Windblade was approached by Blurr, Fat Tankor and Waspinator who pushed her to run for the post of Chancellor. She took their advice and soon garnered enough signatures to become a candidate but faced with the monumental responsibility, she caved and sought solace at Metroplex. She confessed to the Titan that she while she did indeed want to rule Cybertron, she feared that her desire to do so was in fact a remnant of Vigilem's personality. Metroplex told her that Vigilem had listened to no one but Liege Maximo and if Windblade honestly listened to others and worked to make their lives better, she would know herself to be free of the evil Titan's impulses.

[[File:TheChosenOne-electionday.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

Acting on that advice, Windblade organized an event in [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where bots from all walks of life could come and vent their grievances while offering her advice on how to make Cybertron a better world. Once the event wrapped up, Windblade was approached by [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] who revealed that he was behind the recent [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]] uprising presenting her with a briefcase full of devastating ''kompromat'' on Starscream. When Windblade queried as to why he didn't use the case himself, the ex-Autobot revealed his uncertainty about whether or not Starscream had genuinely turned over a new leaf... and also, since Windblade now knew about the briefcase, ignoring the contents was essentially endorsing them, so they were ''her'' problem now.

Windblade eventually read their contents and discovered Starscream's laundry list of crimes, swearing to the Seeker that she would expose him at the debates. At the debates, Windblade spoke briefly of her own past before she praised Cybertron for being a place that transcended differences and welcomed everyone. Starscream spoke next and, in the bravest act Windblade had ever seen, confessed to all his crimes. The result was a landslide victory for Windblade, who decided to change her title from "Supreme Ruler" to "First Delegate". Visiting Starscream in his cell, she presented him with a holo-image of his "true self" as means to symbolize his fulfilling the Chosen One prophecy— by having all of Cybertron turn against him, he'd finally united the planet. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

[[File:SurfeitOfPrimes-Windblade.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

In [[Thundercracker (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Thundercracker]]'s [[Starscream: The Movie (film)|biopic]] of Starscream, the meeting between the two jets was recreated with [[Aileron]] acting as Windblade. {{storylink|Starscream: The Movie (comic)|Starscream: The Movie}}

With Cybertron's energon unpalatable to its people following being tainted by the Talisman's [[magic]], Optimus Prime oversaw the extraction of a large supply of [[Ore-13]] from Earth which he delivered to the assembled Council of Worlds before a solar eclipse struck the planet. Though Windblade was correct in believing this was Liege Maximo's long feared return, the Prime of Lies was now a prisoner of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] whom Optimus invited to the surface for a reasonable discussion. Onyx agreed to the request viewing Optimus as none other than [[The Arisen]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}} In the following discussion, Windblade tried to make her voice heard only for Onyx and the Mistress of Flame to defer solely to Optimus. When [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] attempted to defend Windblade and Onyx, the Mistress brought the latter's attack on Caminus. An attack that Windblade demanded the Mistress tell her about before an explosion ripped through the [[Spire]]. With Optimus, Windblade shielded Marissa Faireborn before Soundwave drew attention to Alpha Trion's demise. Onyx took the opportunity to assert authority and declared Soundwave and his Decepticons would be tried by the Primes alongside Liege Maximo. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}

Windblade and Optimus quickly came to Soundwave's defense, but Onyx used an old crime of Soundwave's to turn even his fellow Decepticons against him. Fighting broke out in the streets between the faithful, the faithless, and the merely angered. Windblade and Optimus tried to reach Onyx Prime, but they were shot at and Windblade lost her grip on Optimus. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 3: The Ground|The Ground}} He was rescued by Onyx, only to be tossed into the singularity at Crystal City. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} Windblade regrouped with the Mistress of Flame as they tried to restore order. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}} Windblade was unable to approach Onyx Prime's ship, the [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]], no matter how well she flew. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 5: Endless Forever|Endless Forever}} Onyx Prime was eventually brought down and revealed as the lost Decepticon Shockwave. Windblade assured Soundwave no charges would be brought against him, but he had still lost the faith of the Decepticons by the revelations. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}} Once [[New Prysmos]] had begun to fill up with [[Prysmosian]] refugees, Windblade sent [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]] and Ironhide to negotiate with the aliens while sending [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] and [[Breakdown (IDW)|Breakdown]] to examine the Talisman. {{storylink|Schismatic}}

[[File:UnstoppedAndUnstoppable-windbladebumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Why do I have a weird feeling that I should be helping [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|you]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|recover your missing memories?]]"]]

Some time later, Windblade sent a small group of Autobots to Velocitron to discover why Cybertron had abruptly lost contact with the planet; though they did not return, a fragmented video clip recovered from the mission depicted the planet's destruction at the hands of a monstrous planet and a second message beamed into space by the Talisman during the conflict with the Prysmosians dubbed the threat "[[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]." {{storylink|Unstopped and Unstoppable}} Velocitron was but one planet targeted by Unicron; as the monster planet tore his way through the galaxy, Optimus Prime led a small Autobot detachment to the organic world of [[Elonia]] to coordinate that planet's evacuation before Unicron destroyed it, with Windblade heading a teleconference with the [[Elonian]] [[Space Knight]] [[Rom]] to explain the threat that Unicron posed. {{storylink|Our Darkest}}

Despite the best efforts of the Autobots, Unicron was able to consume almost all of the "thirteen colonies" affiliated with the Cybertronian race, until only Windblade's homeworld of Caminus remained. As Unicron and his [[Maximal]] hordes descended over the besieged planet, Windblade helped coordinate the evacuation efforts from Cybertron while Optimus unsuccessfully attempted to defeat Unicron from the inside out, but this was ultimately in vain, as Optimus was unable to find any clues on how to stop the beast as it overran and consumed Caminus. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}} As the forces of Cybertron coordinated their next move, Starscream—a Decepticon once more—announced his plan to unite the [[Decepticon Vengeance Division]] for an all-out attack on Unicron, shooting down Windblade's proposal to add what remained of the Cybertronian fleet to his armada. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}

[[File:OurFinest-angrywindblade.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

As it turned out, the D.V.D. was a ruse, allowing [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] to doublecross and mutate the Decepticons with supplies of [[Ore-11]] to transform them into loyal servants of his own, and as Unicron appeared in the skies above Cybertron Windblade desperately weighed up their options with Starscream, Soundwave, and Optimus. Information obtained by Bumblebee revealed that Unicron was, in reality, [[Antilla]], the first planet to encounter the Transformers and the world where the terrible history of Cybertron truly began. Shockwave had planned this all, millions of years in advance, as part of a long game to kill Cybertron and its legacy for good, allowing the Transformers to begin again on Earth; though Windblade was initially furious at Caminus and the other colonies having to pay for the sins of Cybertron, it was Arcee who reminded her that Caminus, like the other Transformer worlds, had been built off the expansionism that began with Antilla. A furious Windblade flew away, to be followed by Arcee, and though the latter initially assumed that Windblade was simply running from her responsibilities, the Cityspeaker informed Arcee that she had a plan. {{storylink|Our Finest}}

At [[New Prysmos]], Windblade and Ironhide parleyed with [[Leoric]] for use of the Talisman, and as Unicron began his final attack on the metal planet the [[Spectral Knight]]s pooled their magic to activate the Talisman, projecting a beam of mystical light that began teleporting the inhabitants of Iacon to Earth. Ironhide and Windblade were the first to be saved, arriving in [[Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park]] on Earth, before they were joined by Metroplex and the millions of other Transformers who had narrowly escaped deactivation, {{storylink|Road's End}} regrouping in and around [[Victoria Falls]]. {{storylink|A Sunrise Dark}} That evening, Windblade and Chromia reunited, and the two joined the other high-ranking Autobots in Metroplex's command center for a briefing, where Jetfire explained that the [[black hole]] in the center of Unicron threatened the entire galaxy.

[[File:Post-windblade.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

The next morning, however, Unicron's Maximals descended on the planet, and their invasion prompted the population of Cybertron to begin their final do-or-die play against Unicron and his forces, with Metroplex and Trypticon teleporting into low Earth orbit with the assembled heroes and villains in a final battle. {{storylink|Assembly (Unicron)|Assembly}}

As they did so, Windblade, Jetfire and the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] arrived at [[Mount Rushmore]] in order to put a secondary plan into action, and though their efforts were briefly threatened by [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], their gambit worked, and using the [[Enigma of Combination]] Soundwave was able to tap into the afterlife, using the spirits of the deceased to bolster the spirit of Optimus Prime as he battled [[Unicron's creator]] in [[infraspace]]. When the threat had passed, Windblade and Chromia looked out upon their new homeworld, intent on fulfilling Optimus Prime's dream of uniting humanity and Cybertron. {{storylink|Ceremony}} Shortly afterwards, Windblade presided over Optimus Prime's funeral in [[Little Cybertron]], and quickly deviated from her prepared remarks to eulogize the ''true'' Optimus: that they would celebrate Optimus while denouncing the legacy of the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s that he represented, so that they may move beyond them and build a new future on their adopted homeworld. {{storylink|Post}}

Windblade, "little sister" to [[Nijika]], was created by the [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]] to keep watch on their dream world of the [[Legends World|Legends Universe]], where wishes could come true. When it was decided that the experiment had come to a conclusion, Windblade announced the universe's imminent destruction to its denizens and used her fans to form a devastating storm. [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], realizing that the universe could grant any wish, summoned [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] to his world; the gigantic robot pulled Windblade from the sky, causing her to reset in the process and forget all about her mission. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 12|Bonus Edition Vol. 12}}

Without any memory, Windblade fell into a waitress job at a "little sister cafe" in [[Akihabara]], where she proved skilled at selling very expensive lunches to adoring customers. She also ended up squatting at [[Tigatron]]'s home, much to the chagrin of [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]]. {{storylink|Windblade Sequel}} Windblade was among the dimensionally-displaced Autobots and [[Transformers sickness]]-afflicted Maximals who gathered to defend the Legends Universe from the intruding [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 16|Bonus Edition Vol. 16}} During [[Halloween]], she dressed up as a schoolgirl to attend a Halloween party with Tigatron and Airazor, but they were interrupted by the trick-or-treating Slipstream, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], and [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird Shadow]]. Windblade teamed up with the similarly dressed up [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] to stop the Decepticons' antics, but all three were defeated and tied up by Blackarachnia. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 17|Bonus Edition Vol. 17}}

As the [[Chōkon Power|spirit energy]] generated by [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Armada Megatron]]'s greed empowered the Zamojin, they began working to regain control of Windblade, causing her to fall ill. She collapsed in the street, prompting the nearby [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Armada Starscream]] to fill in for her at the cafe. When she arrived there herself, she had fallen back under her makers' control and was muttering that she would destroy the world. Getting a hold of herself, she explained the situation to Starscream, lamenting that she was enjoying her new life in the Legends world and didn't want to destroy it. Starscream set out to put at end to Megatron's ambition, but warned Windblade that if it bad came to worse, he'd stop her himself. {{storylink|LG-18 Armada Starscream Super Mode Prologue}}

Megatron would not give up on his desires, however, and the Zamojin were able to take full control of Windblade. Starscream was ready to sacrifice himself to destroy her in a bid to save the world, but [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] found an alternate solution that led to both Megatron and Starscream being returned to their own universe. Restored to normal, Windblade was left chastising the local toy nerds for being just as greedy as Megatron when it came to rare toys. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 18|Bonus Edition Vol. 18}} When [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] arrived in the Legends Universe, Windblade and Chromia were ''very'' impressed with his handsome new body. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}} She was later caught up in another [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s attack on the city after he was turned into the insane [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 23|Bonus Edition Vol. 23}} Windblade was harassed by [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] while acting as cheerleader at a soccer game, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 29|Bonus Edition Vol. 29}} and witnessed [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]]'s living [[transtector]] run away from him. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 30|Bonus Edition Vol. 30}}

Windblade was working at the cafe when [[Flywheels]] came to see her fellow waiter, [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]], {{storylink|LGEX Headmaster Set Chapter}} and was among the citizens pestered by [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]]'s clone army. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 47|Bonus Edition Vol. 47}} Metroplex later recalled how he was brought to the Legends World to defeat Windblade. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Metroplex)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} When the world was threatened by three out-of-control [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]] who overpowered any resistance, Windblade sought out her creator, [[Katsu Don]], and struck a deal: in return for her rejoining the Zamojin, he would convert her into a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] who could combine with the upgraded body of Nijika. With the additional power of her sister on her side, Windblade was able to capture [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pinpointer]] and use him to defeat the other Targetmasters, saving the world at the cost of becoming a Zamojin puppet once more. Before rejoining the Zamojin, she left a message for Tigatron, thanking him for their time together and asking the people of the Legends World to destroy her if she ever returned to attack them again. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 62|Bonus Edition Vol. 62}}

Indeed, it wasn't long before Katsu Don had Windblade assault the Legends World a second time, {{storylink|Jumpstarter Chapter}} this time using her connection to Pinpointer to take control of the other two Targetmasters and wreak havoc until confronted by the [[Wrecker]]s. She made short work of [[Twin Twist]] by decapitating him, but he survived using the [[Zodiac]] and separated her from [[Spoilsport]], who he then used to sever her connection to [[Peacemaker]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 65|Bonus Edition Vol. 65}} Windblade then clashed with [[Topspin (G1)|Topspin]] before teaming up with Katsu Don to battle the [[Jumpstarter]]s, only to be defeated by their combined mode, [[Attack Powered]]. Fortunately she was mostly unharmed and her defeat served to set her free from Katsu Don's control once more. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 66|Bonus Edition Vol. 66}} She later fought back against an army of other Zamojin summoned by her creator {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger!

Windblade, [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]], and Perceptor traveled to [[Zamojin]] and asked Katsu Don for his assistance in restoring the Legends World. Windblade promised to the defend the world and Perceptor told Katsu Don the people of Legends World deserved to have their home back, or else he would be no better than the Quintessons. Katsu Don relented, and lent his psychic power to the Powered Masters and other forces to bring back Legends World. {{storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Legends Final Chapter}}

[[File:PreludeToCombinerWarsWindblade-Windblade.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|I'll cry when I'm done killing.]]
Windblade was a cityspeaker from Caminus. She resented the Mistress of Flame for abandoning the planet in favor of a position on the council on Cybertron. Giving up her job, she vowed to destroy the Combiners that had laid waste to her home world. {{storylink|Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars - Windblade}} She and [[Maxima]] encountered [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] shortly after the Combiner dispatched [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. Windblade sliced Menasor in two, at which point he revealed that the council had the [[Enigma of Combination]] and intended to use it to create an army of Combiners. After mourning the loss of Maxima, Windblade headed to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Fall}}

There, she attempted to snipe the Enigma, only for [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to knock her aim off target as she fired. {{storylink|The Council}} Attacking the former Autobot leader, Windblade asserted that the Autobots, Decepticons and Combiners were all alike. He eventually managed to relieve her of her sword; however, when she revealed that the Council had the Enigma, he joined forces with her. {{storylink|The Duel}} The pair paid a visit to Megatron and managed to persuade him to aid them, though not before Windblade had to deck him. {{storylink|Unforgotten}}

The trio headed to the council tower where they were met with hostility. Windblade accused the Mistress of Flame of deserting Caminus and inevitably Megatron shot [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] resulting in a clash between the two groups. As the trio fought the automated defenses, Windblade heard a mysterious voice in her head. {{storylink|Homecoming (CW)|Homecoming}} The arrival of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] resulted in Optimus, Megatron and Windblade fighting him instead, as he tried to claim the Engima for the Combiners. Things were further complicated by the arrival of [[Victorion]], at which point Starscream used the Enigma to merge with all the Combiners as Windblade and the others watched. {{storylink|A War of Giants}}
[[File:Machinima-Titans-Return-Ep3-MetroplexWindblade.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

Windblade attempted to attack the out-of-control Starscream, only to be blasted by lightning and fall lifeless to the ground. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (CW)|Darkest Hour}} Finding herself in a featureless void, Windblade spoke with [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and admitted she was wrong to want to destroy everyone. Recalling her role as a Cityspeaker, Windblade recovered and got Metroplex to crush Starscream, allowing Optimus and Megatron to finish him off. Megatron presented Windblade with the Enigma, and she passed it on to Victorion for safekeeping. As the Mistress of Flame congratulated Windblade on ending the Combiner Wars, the cityspeaker observed that now the Titans had returned. {{storylink|Destruction's Dawn}}

As the cleanup of the city progressed, Windblade was disappointed that Optimus had chosen to leave. She found [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] examining Starscream's remains and left him to it, returning to Metroplex just in time to see a distant light as [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] rose from the ground. {{storylink|Aftermath and Rebirth}} She communed with Metroplex and realized the Titan had been planning to leave Cybertron before Starscream's stunt with the Enigma. Metroplex prepared to battle Trypticon, though Windblade believed he was too damaged to stand up to the evil Titan. She and Perceptor located the Mistress of Flame in the [[Primal Basilica]] and raised the alarm. Windblade resolved to stick by Metroplex's side as he fought, even as the [[Elite Air Resistance Squadron|reinforcements]] the Mistress called in were destroyed. {{storylink|Our Heroes Respond}}
[[File:TR-Ep6-Desperate-Actions-Windblade-bonds-to-FortMax.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left]]

She continued to plead with Metroplex to not battle Trypticon, but her pleas went unheeded, and she was shocked when Trypticon spoke with Starscream's voice. {{storylink|The Fight Begins}} Joined by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], Windblade attempted to assault Trypticon, but was too late to prevent Metroplex from perishing. After Hot Rod rescued [[Emissary (Generations)|Emissary]] from Trypticon, the [[Titan Master]] and Windblade headed off to find [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], {{storylink|At the Last Second}} arriving there to find Megatron brawling with the Combiners. Once that was resolved, Emissary linked Windblade to Maximus's mind so she could awaken him. {{storylink|Desperate Actions}} The process was painful, but Windblade managed to persuade Maximus to act before Emissary terminated the link for her own safety. {{storylink|Run for Our Lives}}

The trio headed back to the city, as Optimus Prime and the Combiners were battling Trypticon, arriving just in time to save Optimus. {{storylink|In Good Hands}} As Fortress Maximus faced off against Trypticon, Windblade and the others split up to work as a distraction; however, Trypticon ate Victorion, much to Windblade's horror. Trypticon used the Enigma to control the remaining Combiners into attacking Maximus, and when Windblade attempted to shoot them off, she herself was shot down by Computron. She was forced instead to once again convince Megatron to help out, for which he demanded a favor in exchange. {{storylink|Consumed}} The battle abruptly ended when Trypticon ate Perceptor, and the [[Matrix of Leadership]] which Perceptor was carrying rejected him. Once Trypticon expired, Windblade and the others were treated to an appearance by [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], who terminated Optimus before leaving with the Matrix and Enigma. Windblade was inclined to agree with Menasor's plan to kill Megatron, as he appeared to have betrayed them, but he convinced them that they instead needed to work together to face this new threat. {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}}

Still indebted to Megatron for saving Fortress Maximus, Windblade followed him to [[Primal Swamp]] in search of the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]. While searching, their group were attacked by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. Windblade tussled with [[Slag (G1)|Slug]] before managing to toss him aside, only for the five to combine into [[Volcanicus (Generations)|Volcanicus]]. {{storylink|The Swamp}} She attempted to combat the Combiner, but he laid her out flat with one punch. Before he could finish her off, he was attacked by [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], who soon turned on Windblade and the others as well. {{storylink|Volcanicus (episode)|Volcanicus}} She held her own against Predaking, attacking until he released the captive Victorion, prompting her and the others to make their escape. All of them came to a halt, however, as they watched Megatron enter a strange dome. {{storylink|Without Warning}} As they waited, Predaking began attacking again. Windblade attempted to stop him, but was shot down. She recovered as Megatron emerged from the dome, Blaster in hand, and they discussed their next course of action. {{storylink|Primal (POTP)|Primal}}
[[File:Machinima-POTP-Windblade-Grimlock-Perceptor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]

Following Megatron's lead, Windblade and the others traveled to [[Cataclysm Tundra]]. Though still unsure of Megatron's good intentions, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] reassured her of his honesty as they located the entrance to the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]]. As they began doing research, they were interrupted by [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] and Hot Rod, now redubbed Rodimus Cron. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}} Windblade did her best to fight against the two, calling Primal a coward when she caught him trying to escape with the Requiem Blaster. As Rodimus prepared to finish Megatron, Windblade stepped into his path to protect Megatron, but Rodimus began strangling her instead. She attempted to reach any remaining trace of the old Hot Rod, but the [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] within assured her there was nothing left and tossed aside her unresponsive body. {{storylink|Countdown (POTP)|Countdown}} When she came to, Megatron had destroyed Overlord with the Requiem Blaster. Megatron thanked her for saving him, saying they were square, as did Primal for stopping him from retreating. When Megatronus arrived to take back the Blaster, she tried to stop him, but was powerless against the Fallen as he and Rodimus escaped. Though she continued to believe Hot Rod could be saved, the others convinced her that if the time came, they might need to destroy him. After a speech encouraging Megatron to lead them, she and the others headed for the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]]. {{storylink|Consequences}}
[[File:POTP-Ep10-Saga's-End-Windblade-and-Emissary-new-Cityspeakers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left]]

In spite of being weakened by Megatronus's weapon, Windblade and the others reached the Well. She attempted to draw Megatronus's fire, but she was shot down and very nearly perished if not for Optimus Primal's intervention. Ultimately, she and the others were engulfed in Megatronus's flames, unable to fight back. {{storylink|Collision Course}} When the flames finally died down, Windblade nearly passed out, but finally got to her feet and resumed attacking the device, now less affected by Megatronus's shots thanks to his weakening state. After watching Primal transform into Optimal Optimus, she and the others tackled Megatron to prevent him from reclaiming the Enigma and Blaster. {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} She helped restrain Rodimus, allowing Optimal to remove the [[Matrix of Conquest|Matrix of Chaos]] from him and return him to Hot Rod. When Unicron tried to take control of Megatron, necessitating they both be killed, she desperately sought another solution. Finding none, she was left to mourn her friend's sacrifice. She was, however, overjoyed to see Optimus Prime revived from the dead as a result of their efforts. In the aftermath of the incident, Windblade was named Magistrate of Cityspeakers and worked to coordinate the efforts of all those who communicated with the Titans. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

Windblade was one of a number of Autobots who took part in a battle over a fallen [[Cybertonium]] meteorite. Over the course of the struggle, she dogfought with [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] and [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] before spying some [[human]]s caught in the crossfire that [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] helped ferry to safety. {{storylink|Transformers: Bumblebee - Go For the Gold|Go For the Gold}}

A few days later, Windblade was present aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' after Bumblebee returned to duty before flying out to survey the nearby coast for any signs of Decepticon activity. {{storylink|Transformers: Bumblebee - Win If You Dare|Win If You Dare}}

===''Star Trek vs. Transformers''===
[[File:Star Trek Windblade.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

When the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' departed Cybertron four million years ago, Windblade was among the Autobots who joined Optimus Prime aboard the ship, only for the vessel and its occupants to crash-land on prehistoric Earth alongside Megatron's Decepticons. When the two sides reawakened in the years before humanity's invention of warp travel, they secretly battled for control of Earth's resources... until the outbreak of the [[Eugenics Wars]] and [[World War III]] prompted the Autobots to flee aboard the Titan [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and travel the [[Milky Way]] in search of energon, unaware that the Decepticons had given chase aboard their ''own'' Titan, [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]].

[[File:PrimesDirectivePart1-Autobots.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

After decades of travel, the Decepticons caught up with their quarry over the barren moon of [[Cygnus Seven]]; when Megatron and his forces attempted to board their ship, Fortress Maximus crashed into the planetoid, knocking everyone aboard into [[stasis lock]]. There they remained for two hundred years, dormant until Cygnus Seven was colonized by the [[Federation]], and a team of [[dilithium]] miners accidentally stumbled on the alien ship and triggered its repair protocols. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}}

After first reawakening the Decepticons, the still-dormant Maximus then reactivated the Autobots, with Prime immediately going forth to confront the Decepticons. The other Autobots came online shortly after [[James Kirk|Captain Kirk]] and his away team investigated the mineshaft; aware of the dangers that humanity posed to their kind, they demanded to know Prime's location. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part One}} The Autobots initially tried to subdue the [[Starfleet]] personnel until Kirk was able to convince them of their good intentions, but after the two parties agreed to an alliance the Decepticons bombarded the mineshaft, sealing them in. Undaunted, [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] hatched a plan to bring Fortress Maximus back online. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Two}}

[[File:PrimesDirective3-insidefortmax.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Do you guys have a self-destruct code? Like 'destruct sequence 1-A, 2-B, 3-'" "Thanks a lot, Takei, now ''everybody'' knows!"]]

A doubtful Windblade watched as Ratchet assembled a device that would bring Fortress Maximus back into fighting shape by analyzing Kirk's own memories for a suitable shape, but despite her worries over Kirk's mental fortitude the device was indeed able to reconfigure Maximus's alternate mode into a copy of the starship ''[[USS Enterprise|Enterprise]]'', allowing him to burst free from the ground—just in time to rescue Optimus, [[Spock]], and [[Scotty]] from a group of [[Kuri]]'s group of Decepticon-allied [[Klingon]]s. With [[Sulu]] riding in her cockpit, the pair engaged [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], before the arrival of a similarly rejuvenated Trypticon in the form of a Klingon [[Warbird (Star Trek)|warbird]] eventually prompted the Autobot Titan to transform into the mighty "Fortress Tiberius." {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Three}}

Regrouping with [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and the other Autobots, Windblade watched as the two Titans battled it out... before the conspicuous absence of Starscream prompted Megatron to abruptly retreat. Windblade correctly deduced that Starscream had stolen a load of dilithium and blasted off in search of a world to claim as his own, and Kirk beamed the heroes aboard Fortress Tiberius to give chase, first rendezvousing with the damaged ''Enterprise'' and beaming the Autobots over to the starship. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Four}}

[[File:PrimesDirective5-autobots.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

After some deliberation, Kirk opted to pursue Starscream, with the two ships breaching the [[Neutral Zone]] to reach [[Klingon]] homeworld of [[Kronos]], capital of the [[Klingon Empire]], only to learn that Megatron and his loyal Decepticons had wrested Kronos from Starscream, intent on turning the world into the capital of a new [[Decepticon Empire]]. Joined by a series of [[Crewbot|armored battlesuits]], the Autobots and their [[Starfleet]] allies took on the Decepticons with the help of Kuri and his Klingons, but were laid low by [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s deployment of a paralyzing counterfrequency. Fortunately, Soundwave had reckoned without the Klingons being ''immune'' to said signal, and the Decepticons were summarily ambushed and defeated by the Klingon armada.

In the aftermath, Windblade and the other Autobots opted to continue travelling the universe aboard Fortress Tiberius, but pledged to assist the Federation should Kirk or the crew of the ''Enterprise'' ever require their assistance again. {{storylink|Prime's Directive, Part Five}}

**'''30 OF 30'''
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #019'''
**''Accessories'': "[[Stormfall Sword]]", scabbard, tessen

:Part of the tenth wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations#T30|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Windblade transforms from a jet with tilting, spinning VTOL fans and fold in front landing gear, into a robot with 'facepaint' evocative of Japanese {{w|Kabuki}} theatre makeup. She comes with the Stormfall Sword, a translucent blade with a turbine at the hilt, which she can hold via its [[5 mm post]]. The sword sheathes into the included scabbard, which can be held or tabbed onto slots on her thighs and back/cockpit sides, as well as be stored underneath her jet mode. Her headdress can also detach and be used as a "tessen" fan. A port under her nosecone is compatible with some action figure stands.

:She comes packaged with a copy of "[[Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8]]", and has a designated number as part of the ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' celebration.

:Care must be taken when detaching her headdress, as its painted ''and'' clear-plastic nature makes it very tight and susceptible to breakage. It must be pulled/wiggled '''back''', not pulled up as the [[instructions]] say. Due to a combination of back-heavy kibble and weak swivel tolerances on her heels and hip joints, getting Windblade to stand can often prove difficult, as she will often collapse when trying.

:She was retooled to create ''Legends'' [[Slipstream (Animated)#Legends|Slipstream]], who was then redecoed into [[BotCon 2016]] souvenir [[Airazor (BW)#Generations|Airazor]]. This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Stiletto (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Stiletto]] and the ''[[Transformers: Combiner Wars (cartoon)|Combiner Wars]]'' character [[Maxima]].

**''Accessories:'' Sword, scabbard, tessen

:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Windblade is a redeco of ''Thrilling 30'' Deluxe Class Windblade with various changes in color layout, mostly in [[Alternate mode|vehicle mode]] which features much more red. Her wings and much of her fuselage are cast in red, pushing most of the black to her tail section and some highlights such as around the VTOL fans. Her nosecone features more extensive white paint and some new yellow eye-like markings on her nosecone, as well as a translucent dark blue canopy. In [[robot mode]] she has some changes to be more comic-accurate, like a slightly different hue of her Stormfall blade, red pelvis with black upper legs and much more accurate facepaint.

:The second ''Legends'' figure of Windblade is a redeco of her ''Titans Return'' Deluxe Class figure, once again featuring paint apps that make her resemble her comic coloration a bit better. Among these are added blue paint apps on her brow with a less blank stare looking face paint, a white nosecone and VTOL fans, completely black shoulders, and black knees with blue highlights (similar to those seen in her character art at the top of the page). Windblade ditches the Titan Master-compatible swords in exchange for a sword and scabbard similar, if not identical, to her ''Thrilling 30''/''Legends'' one. She also gains a Targetmaster partner that uses the same transformation scheme as [[Recoil (G1)#Legends|Recoil]], but is decoed to resemble [[Pinpointer (G1)#Legends|Pinpointer/Pointech]]. Her Headmaster gimmick remains intact with additional paint apps on the mini figure's arms and shins.

*Windblade is the first "officially fan-created" Transformer ever, the culmination of [[Hasbro]]'s "[[Fan polls|Fan Built Bot]]" initiative program. Two polls on Hasbro's official website allowed fans to determine her character and physical traits (well, ''most'' of her traits - her [[Japan]]ese motifs ''weren't'' an option in the poll and seem to be the work of the design team).
**From [[April 18]]th to [[May 5]]th, 2013,<ref>http://investor.hasbro.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=757648</ref> fans decided her faction (Autobot over Decepticon), alternate mode (jet over car, truck, tank, spaceship, terran beast [land], avian beast [airborne], helicopter, motorcycle, and construction), signature weapon (sword over blaster cannon, flame thrower, mace, spear/harpoon, morning star, Cybertronian taser, nunchucks, crossbow, and long-range blaster), color scheme (red & black over green & gold, blue & silver, orange & white, or purple & bronze) and personality (valiant over sneaky, hotshot, secretive, wild man, and grumpy).<ref>http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-fan-built-bot-poll/27089/</ref>
**From [[May 10]]th to [[May 17]]th, fans voted on name (Windblade over Autobot Eclipse, Charon, Centuritron, Cashtron, Autobot Wraith), gender (female over male), origin (from Kaon over Iacon, Altihex, Kalis, and Praxus) and specialty (telepath over combat medic, bodyguard, recon, and close combat specialist).<ref>http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-fan-built-bot-poll-second-round/27272/</ref>
**Subsequently, Windblade was revealed at [[San Diego Comic-Con|San Diego Comic-Con 2013]], where concept sketches of her (and the piece of finished art to the right) were part of the ''Transformers'' brand presentation.
**Some of the concepts that fans voted for were tweaked or outright dropped when Windblade made her official debut. Rather than hailing from Kaon, she originated on the planet Caminus. Instead of being broadly telepathic, Windblade's job was being a cityspeaker for Metroplex.
*Concept sketches at San Diego Comic-Con showed that European knight (with visor, arm shield, and fencing foil-esque sword) and Roman warrior (with twin swords) concepts for Windblade were considered before her Japanese stylings were finalized. A different pre-production sketch gave her a Japanese hand-fan weapon in addition to her sword. Speaking of her Japanese motifs, her finalized helmet was apparently designed to resemble the hairstyle commonly worn by the ''{{w|onna bugeisha}}'', the upper-class warrior-women of feudal Japan.
*At [[Toy Fair 2014]], Windblade was noted as being the handiwork of designer [[Lenny Panzica]], who put "probably five times as much energy" into her as the rest of his workload. A [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/723592181044312 gallery] of his work was posted by Hasbro on Facebook.
*Her name works on many levels: "Wind Blade" is a real variety of industrial fan blade; she turns into a jet with VTOL turbofans; Hasbro designers had said they envisioned her coursing more energy into her sword blade through a spinning turbine fan in the hilt; she has a tessen, or iron fan; and, of course, she was the fans' choice character.
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' manga, Windblade is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. She uses the [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Mirage]] helmet, the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Starscream]] wing-pack and the curved blade first used by [[Insecticon (WFC)#Kre-O|Insecticon]] and [[Rampage (G1)#Kre-O|Rampage]].

Built to Rule!

2020-02-16T18:24:36Z

Nullwave:

[[Image:BTR-logo.jpg|right|300px]]

[[Hasbro]]'s first attempt at capturing some of the "construction block" market pie, [[2003]]'s '''''Built to Rule!''''' line attempted to blend the play patterns of some of Hasbro's top brands with {{w|Lego}}-compatible brick-based construction. For the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' and [[Tonka]] sets, this meant buildable vehicles with "traditional" brick-compatible action figure pilots. For ''Transformers'', this meant building the robot and vehicle modes around a generic transforming core.

One of these concepts worked far better than the other. Guess which one.

Virtually every set also included some other action gimmick, usually a spring-loaded missile launcher, but electronics and gear-systems also made their way into later sets.

The line was incredibly short-lived, lasting barely a year at normal retail. The second series of ''Transformers'' sets only had a limited, test-market release initially in and around Cincinnati, Ohio. The sets later filtered out into some Tuesday Morning, Ollie's, and TJ Maxx chain stores at drastically dropped prices. (It is uncertain if the second-series ''Joe'' sets shared a similar fate, but it's highly likely. Tonka was dropped from the lineup after the first series.)

Despite this failure, Hasbro would try their hand again at the construction-block market a few years down the road with the more traditional, and more successful, ''[[Kre-O]]''.

==Construction==
[[File:BTR-toy TransSkeletons Armada.jpg|right|thumb|200px|''Armada'' Trans-Skeletons (Smokescreen & Swindle)]]
[[File:BTR-toy TransSkeletons Energon.jpg|right|thumb|200px|''Energon'' Trans-Skeletons (Optimus Prime & Inferno)]]
The ''Transformers Built to Rule!'' sets were centered around the premise of the "Trans-Skeleton", a generic "block" that transformed into a generic robot mode, with the parts added to each making up the individual robot and vehicle modes. Trans-Skeletons came in a variety of sizes and styles over the course of the line's short lifespan.

For the initial series, based on the then-current ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' franchise, the larger Trans-Skeletons came in three different sizes but had the same general construction: a flat plate with raised corners to mount wheels on, and swivel-out arms and legs. Unfortunately, this design was pretty heavily flawed, with the results being awkward, top-heavy hunchbacked robots (the "heads" were just face-plates applied between the shoulders) that looked like a plate with stick-limbs and random bits slapped all over it. The smaller Skeletons had knee-less legs crammed right next to each other, making stable posing that isn't "ramrod straight" difficult. The larger Skeletons' legs were spaced slightly wider and added knees which would in ''theory'' help with posability, but the limbs were the same 2x2 thickness as the smaller sets, leading to ''extremely'' top-heavy robots with more joints to fail to support the weight.

Each ''Armada'' kit also came with their partner [[Mini-Con]], made up of a tiny Trans-Skeleton with a whopping three add-on pieces: two vehicle-mode shell parts (a few added an extra "turret" part) and a "head" plate that also served as a [[Powerlinx]] port for use with the dedicated Powerlinx 2x2 plate (that was theoretically supposed to attach to the rotating triggers of the missile launchers but almost never did according to the instructions). This Powerlinx plate ''can'' be used with normal Mini-Con toys, but it's not the most secure fit. The Mini-Con robot modes, however, were stuck with their arms sticking to the sides like scarecrows thanks to the vehicle-shell skirts they wore, plus the bottoms of their "feet" didn't have stud-holes so they couldn't stand securely on the kits. Oops.

A new design for a Trans-Skeleton sized between the Mini-Cons and "large" sets was designed for late ''Armada'', but the kits were canceled and reworked for the second series of ''Transformers Built to Rule!'', now based on sequel series ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]''. This series also introduced a larger Trans-Skeleton based on the same general concept: a blockier, more traditionally-proportioned robot mode where the limbs made up large chunks of the vehicle-base, plus a dedicated flip-out neck-swivel for a full head piece rather than just a plate, leading to a better-looking robot mode overall.

Unfortunately, the ''Energon'' sets saw super-limited release as noted above... and those sets still had one of the big problems of the ''Armada'' sets, in that the builds relied ''heavily'' on huge specialized pieces of vehicle mode with exceptionally limited use in robot mode. While the vehicle builds would use all the parts (even if the robot faces were hidden), the robot builds almost invariably left a considerable number of parts unused. While the building-block concept meant the builds could be altered, trying to find a place on the robot to attach a 10-stud-wide hunk of car bumper, or an entire hood "shell", in a way that didn't just look like hanging massive useless [[kibble]] off the bot, could prove troublesome at best.

* It seems very likely that Korean toy company [http://www.oxfordtoy.co.kr/ Oxford], who manufactured the first few years of ''Kre-O'' bricks for Hasbro, was also responsible for ''Built to Rule!'' Several of the smaller, very distinctive "techy" pieces in ''Built to Rule!'' ended up replicated in various ''Kre-O'' sets.

:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Warrior Class Acid Storm is a redeco of Warrior Class [[Starscream (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Starscream]] and converts from robot to jet and back. Their Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in their waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The waist can be locked in place by pegging their landing gear onto a peg on their backside. Additionally, they have non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into their forearms with [[5 mm post]] hole hands.

:While their arms have articulation comparable to other ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, Acid Storm has the unusual distinction of having their hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. They also lack knees, likely due to their whole legs being cast from the same green plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, they can splay their legs out to the sides due to hinges on their hips, allowing splits and high kicks.

:This mold was also redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Thundercracker]].

==Notes==
* In-keeping with depictions of the character in other continuities up to this point, Acid Storm's bio on Hasbro's U.S. website in English uses "he" and "him" pronouns. Conversely, in the animated series, the character's voice is provided by actress [[Jaime Lamchick]]. Though this suggests the cartoon character may be intended to be female, an apparent case of animation oversight has resulted in Acid Storm constantly fluctuating between the show's two distinct "male" and "female" Seeker designs from episode to episode during the first chapter only, even at times within the same episode. When questioned about this, ''Cyberverse'' writer [[Mae Catt]] offered an in-universe explanation for the inconsistency, stating that their changing appearance was "just something Acid Storm likes to do,"<ref>[https://twitter.com/MaeCatt/status/1076200426586877952 Mae Catt on Twitter, 21 December 2018]</ref> implying the character is non-binary. In response to further queries, Catt noted that "pronouns are up to Acid Storm."<ref>[https://twitter.com/MaeCatt/status/1076234242168770560 Mae Catt on Twitter, 21 December 2018]</ref> In the second chapter, the use of the female model becomes significantly more consistent, although there are still occasions where the male model is used, sometimes even switching from one to another between shots.
* As far as other languages go, Acid Storm's toy packaging uses the masculine forms of "Seeker" in French, Portuguese, and Spanish.<ref>http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/cyberverse/warrior/acidstorm "Cyberverse" Warrior Class Acid Storm Toy Review - BWTF, 3 November 2018</ref> Hasbro's Brazilian Portuguese site refers to Acid Storm's toy in the feminine,<ref>[https://shop.hasbro.com/pt-br/product/transformers-cyberverse-warrior-class-acid-storm:802871B8-5DE6-43CE-A266-111D4C63142F Acid Storm on Hasbro's Brazilian Portuguese site]</ref> while the French Canadian site uses the masculine.<ref>[https://shop.hasbro.com/fr-ca/product/transformers-cyberverse-warrior-class-acid-storm:802871B8-5DE6-43CE-A266-111D4C63142F Acid Storm on Hasbro's French Canadian site]</ref>

When the [[Decepticon]]s tracked the [[AllSpark]] to [[Earth]], [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] sent Slipstream to scout the organic planet while he gathered his fleet. {{storylink|Fractured}} In their early clashes with the Autobots, Slipstream accompanied [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] in locating [[Decepticon scout ship|their stolen ship]], which was currently in the possession of the Autobots Bumblebee and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. The three Seekers were eventually defeated and buried in snow by Windblade. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

When the Decepticons caught up with their shuttle, Slipstream engaged it in a dogfight only to be shot down. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} Using her own ship, Slipstream had another go at it. During the fight, Bumblebee jumped onto Slipstream's craft and blasted the cockpit with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] sending the Seeker spiralling towards Earth. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}
[[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] eventually interfered, trapping Bumblebee in a fake memory and telling Slipstream to retrieve the stolen ship. With the vessel now under her remote control, Slipstream used it to harass Windblade before Bumblebee triggered its self-destruct and allowed the Autobot duo to escape. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

The Seekers soon came across [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] and used the drone to bait a trap for the Autobots. Unfortunately for them, the drone's protocols led to it attacking them allowing Bumblebee, the only one who could access Teletraan, to escape. Undeterred, Slipstream ordered Windblade restrained. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}}

[[File:Slipstream after looking through Windblade's memories.jpg|thumb|300px|"Triton's daughter will be mine, and then I'll make him writhe. I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook!"]]
Using a [[cortical psychic patch]], Slipstream tried to gain useful information from Windblade to avail, only succeeding in triggering a power surge that knocked out all the Decepticons. When Slipstream awoke, she found Starscream and Shockwave waiting for her. While the former had rallied the [[Decepticon fleet]] and was on his way, the latter directed Slipstream to repair Earth's [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Siloed}}

When Shockwave arrived, he dressed down Slipstream before revealing his plan to use [[magnetic disruptor]]s to destroy Earth's geomagnetic field and cleanse the planet of organic life. Slipstream led the ship operating at the [[Arctic|North Pole]] only for the Autobots, now bolstered by [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] to destroy the craft. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

It wasn't all bad though. One of [[Shockwave's drones]] had managed to tail the Autobots, leading the Decepticons to [[Mount St. Hilary]], the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting point. After receiving another beat down from Windblade, Starscream called to let her know the fleet was approaching Earth only for Slipstream to reveal Shockwave had already arrived much to the Air Commander's ire. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

After some more failed melee combat, the Decepticons tried to use the last magnetic disruptor to destroy the ''Ark'' only for the vessel to be reactivated in time to defend itself. With the crew awoken, the Earth-bound Decepticons regrouped with Starscream's fleet. {{storylink|Eruption}}

Some time later, the Decepticons attempted to turn a [[Moon (moon)|moon]]-based [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth, the Seekers serving as the air defence for the weapon before Grimlock tossed them around. Despite [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] calling Starscream for air support, the SIC led the group beneath the Planet Smasher's [[force field]], hoping that the Autobots would destroy the warlord, only to find he'd survived. When Starscream tried to blame Slipstream for his lack of his reinforcements, Megatron backhanded him and named Slipstream the new leader of the Seekers. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}}

When the Planet Smasher was destroyed, the Decepticons fled to an underground bunker where Shockwave activated a set of [[planetary engine]]s, intending to slam the moon into the Earth so they could fish the AllSpark out of the debris field. As Megatron attempted to order Slipstream to guard the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']], his injured leg caused him to collapse. Before aid could be rendered, Starscream mercilessly attacked Megatron, seemingly killing him and declaring himself [[Decepticon leader]], ordering a retreat back to the ''Nemesis'' when the Autobots neared the control room. Aboard ship, Slipstream remained in the hangar bay with her troops before Starscream crashed through the wall, hurled by a furious and still alive Megatron who killed the traitor and dumped his corpse on the lunar surface before ordering the ''Nemesis'' elsewhere. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Shortly after, the Decepticons held a ceremony eulogizing Starscream for the benefit of the people of Earth, which was directly followed by Megatron offering the now vacant position of second-in-command to whoever could bring him the head of Optimus Prime. As the other Decepticons hurried off the bridge, Megatron briefly detained Slipstream to remind her of how useful and valuable leadership of the Seekers could be, along with a pointed reminded not to squander the opportunity. The message loud and clear, Slipstream hurried to the hangar bay to issue marching orders, only to discover the bay was empty except for Thundercracker. Slipstream then spent most of the day searching the ship for her missing troops until she finally discovered a group of them carrying [[Vector Sigma]] out of Shockwave's lab. As she was demanding an explanation, the Autobot [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] bowled her over as he escaped the ''Nemesis'', and by the time she recovered the Seekers were gone.
{{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

Annoyed by this, Slipstream pursued the Seekers by following their tracker chips' signal. She was briefly thrown off the trail when she discovered they'd discarded the trackers, but caught the trail of their energon signatures instead, leading her to the silo they'd previously used to hold Windblade captive. She threatened to execute the lot of them and demanded to know what was going on, only to be met by their true leader: Starscream, having just returned from seizing the AllSpark! {{storylink|Trials}}

Falling back in line with the others, Slipstream listened to Starscream's claims of having journeyed to the AllSpark and back following his death at the hands of Megatron. She was much less enthused when Starscream revealed his endgame: by liberating all sparks from all combatants so they could become one with the AllSpark for eternity, he would bring an end to the Autobot/Decepticon war. Her appeals to the other Seekers that he'd gone mad went unheard, even more so when he used the AllSpark to create [[spark armor]] for himself. She resorted to trying to steal the AllSpark while Starscream was distracted, but he quickly knocked her aside. Rather than finish her, Starscream offered his hand instead, asking her to wait and see what he could do with the AllSpark. Any lingering trust or belief she had in him was finally extinguished when he used Vector Sigma and the AllSpark to create [[Scraplet|monstrosities]]. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

When Starscream addressed several of the newly created monsters as [[Solus Prime]], [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] and [[Zeta Prime (Cyberverse)|Zeta Prime]], that was the last straw. Assuring Starscream she would share the truth of his insanity with the world, Slipstream fled the silo with both creatures and Seekers in pursuit. Despite her arm being disabled by a savage bite from one of the monsters, she successfully escaped. Returning to the ''Nemesis'', Slipstream approached Soundwave to warn him of the threat, but Soundwave, thinking her to be a traitor like the other Seekers, attacked her instead. She managed to fight him off and flee, looking for someone else to warn. Eventually meeting her old enemy Windblade, her desperate plea was enough to move Windblade into believing her. Tragically, before they can do anything else, she was stabbed in the back by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], triggering a short but sharp battle that derailed the peace talks that were ongoing at the time. As the ''Nemesis'' departed and the peace talks lay in ruin, Slipstream's wounds proved fatal and she perished. {{storylink|Parley}} Windblade later attempted to avenge Slipstream by trying to assassinate Bludgeon, but she nearly lost her own life before a last-minute rescue by [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]]. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

**''Action Attack'': "Sonic Swirl"

:Ultra Class Slipstream is an all-new roughly Voyager-sized mold. As this toy is the first ''Cyberverse'' Slipstream toy to ''not'' share a mold with Starscream, it is also the first toy of the character to feature show-accurate robot and jet modes. She features a "Sonic Swirl" Action Attack, which unfurls a large free-spinning rotor setup from her wings to the back of her jet mode when her left arm is pushed in. As this is not sculpted to resemble some kind of energy effect or in-motion part like other Action Attacks in the line, it comes across more as an odd form of propulsion for her jet mode.

:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Warrior Class Slipstream is a redeco of Warrior Class [[Starscream (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Starscream]] and converts from robot to jet and back. Her Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in her waist and releasing the upper part of the figure, allowing it to spin and flip out its spring-loaded wing blades with centrifugal force. The waist can be locked in place by pegging her landing gear onto a peg on her backside. Additionally, she has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into her forearms with [[5 mm post]] hole hands.

:While her arms have articulation comparable to other ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, this mold has the unusual distinction of having its hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. She also lacks knees, likely due to the entirety of the legs being cast from the same cyan plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, she can splay her legs out to the sides due to hinges on her hips, allowing splits and high kicks.

:Warrior Class Slipstream is exclusive to [[Target]] stores and is part of the ''[[Power of the Spark]]'' subline.

After the [[AllSpark]] had been launched away, Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]], under the command of [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], chased [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] to the [[Grand Imperium]] only for the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] to send the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]] running. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Some 66 million years later, the AllSpark had been traced to [[Earth]] with Starscream dispatching [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]]'s squadron to scout the alien world. As Thundercracker scouted, he chanced upon [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and an amnesiac Bumblebee. While Thundercracker initially held the upper hand in his fight with Windblade, Bumblebee had enough memories left to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]], allowing him to paralyze the blue Seeker. While he'd recovered, Windblade sent Thundercracker down a cliff. {{storylink|Fractured}} Once the energy signature of a [[cortical psychic patch]] had been detected, Thundercracker and Nova Storm traced it to the Autobots only for Windblade to bury the two beneath a pile of rubble. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

When Windblade travelled to the [[Himalayas]] for any clues relating to the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']]'s location, the Seekers ambushed her but Windblade's superior fighting skills sent Thundercracker tumbling down another cliff. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

The squad's consistent lack of progress eventually necessitated [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]'s personal intervention. From [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the scientist hacked into the cortical psychic patch, trapping the scout in a false memory, and took remote control of the [[Decepticon scout ship]]. The Seekers waited for the ship at an airfield where Thundercracker suffered yet another humiliating defeat to Windblade before the ship crashed into the base, exploding into a ball of fire. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

Undeterred, the Seekers found the [[Autobot]] [[drone]] [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] and used it to draw Bumblebee to them and access the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s location from the drone's databanks. The drone's security protocols activated, however, and compelled it to attack the Decepticons. As the Autobots fled, Thundercracker found himself paralyzed by Bumblebee's stingers once again. It wasn't all bad news, however, for Windblade remained trapped in the silo. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} The Seekers hooked Windblade up to a cortical psychic patch to try and gleam useful information out of her before Slipstream ordered that Thundercracker and [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)|Acid Storm]] perform a [[mind rip]]. The two pumped up the power to increase the procedure's speed only to wind up unleashing an energy burst that knocked them all into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Siloed}}

At Shockwave's orders, the Seekers repaired the [[space bridge]] orbiting Earth, allowing him to come through with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s he planned to use to eradicate Earth's biosphere. Put under [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]'s command, Thundercracker was sent to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], remaining in the ship even as the Autobots struck. As he loitered, Thundercracker was contacted by Shockwave for a status report and things only became worse when [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] arrived, using his strength to rip the ship apart, saving Earth. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Thanks to one of [[Shockwave's drones]], the Decepticons followed the Autobots to [[Mount St. Hilary]], the resting place of the ''Ark''. After the Seekers had shot down the Autobots' plane, Thundercracker had Teletraan-X thrown at him, as part of a [[Fastball Special]] courtesy of Grimlock, knocking him out. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}} Though the Decepticons soon recovered and followed the Autobots into the mountain, they failed to stop their foes from breaching the ship.

:''Jetfire is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:CyJetfire.jpg|thumb|300px|"Oh, I could get sent to prison for the scenes I'm gonna steal!"]]

'''Jetfire''' is an Autobot with flight capabilities who everyone thought had exploded in a plume of jet smoke while battling his nemesis, [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. Luckily for the Autobots he lived to fight (and fight, and fight) another day. He never gives up, and he never gives in. Just don't get in his way when he's in the middle of combat. He has a habit of destroying everything in his path to clinch a win.

He also had a short-lived friendship with [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]].

==Fiction==
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Jeremy Levy]] (English), [[Nobuo Tobita]] (Japanese)}}

Before the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Jetfire was friends with Starscream before the two fell out. When war broke out, Jetfire gained a name for himself for his famous rivalry with Sky-Byte, their feud being carried across the galaxy and leaving many shattered planets and civilizations in their wake. Their clash eventually resulted in Sky-Byte triggering a supernova, one that wiped out seven civilizations, with both combatants being presumed deceased by their factions.

In [[2007]], Jetfire made his way to [[Earth]] and made his presence known by attacking the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']], demanding that Sky-Byte be surrendered to him. An annoyed [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] told him Sky-Byte was not present and told him no one cared about his stupid feud. Leaving in a huff, Jetfire made his way to the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], reuniting with his comrades before offering them the chance to assist him in bringing Sky-Byte to justice. When [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] declined the offer, feeling that finding a trinket like the [[AllSpark]] was more important than vanquishing the villain forever, Jetfire set out on his own again. When he happened upon his arch-foe the subsequent clash resulted in both rivals knokcing each other out.

When Jetfire rebooted, he found himself in the company of [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]] and Starscream himself. Blowing off the Seeker commander's attempt at rekindling their old friendship, Jetfire nonetheless eagerly accepted Starscream's offer of help and was granted a suit of powerful [[spark armor]] based on a tank. With this added power, Jetfire captured Megatron in an attempt to lure Sky-Byte out of hiding only to learn that Sky-Byte (sporting his own suit of spark armor) had kidnapped Optimus Prime in order to lure ''him'' out. At Megatron's suggestion, both foes met at a coliseum to settle accounts. Jetfire got the better of Sky-Byte and was about to terminate the villain once and for all, but seeing an injured Optimus Prime and hearing Megatron urge Jetfire to finish Sky-Byte off drew him pause. His Autobot self won out, and he opted to bring Optimus to safety. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Once Optimus was healed, Jetfire led the Autobot to Starscream's hideout to recover the AllSpark. However, they were intercepted by the Decepticons, similarly led by Sky-Byte. Before a battle could erupt, an AllSpark-infused Starscream arrived and restrained everyone before attempting to extract their sparks. Optimus managed to defeat Starscream with the aid of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] but was knocked out by the exertion. This caused a mad scramble as both factions tried to recover the AllSpark, where Jetfire spent most of the battle engaging Sky-Byte in an aerial duel, before he retreated along with the other Autobots once the AllSpark had been secured. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Jetfire remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the [[space bridge]] in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge. Despite Jetfire cursing the shark, it fell to Grimlock to knock the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Jetfire was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Jetfire attended a party hosted by [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and awkwardly clapped when Optimus Prime gave a less than festive speech. He was later a victim of [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack's]] malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

:Part of the fifth wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, Jetfire transforms from Cybertronian superjet and back. His "Sky Surge" action attack has his rocket pack flip over his shoulders to form cannons and popping out blue effect parts. It can also be activated in vehicle mode by pressing the switches on the bottom of the boosters, though the ends of the blaster barrels may be blocked by the swing arm hinge; lifting the boosters up slightly allows them to flip all the way out.

:Like many later Jetfire toys, it combines elements of both the original Jetfire toy and the Skyfire design used in the Generation 1 cartoon, namely the two separate boosters of the former and the more angular design and simpler head of the latter. Its Sky Surge attack gimmick is somewhat reminiscent of the ''Classics'' Jetfire's spring-loaded flip out blasters.

:Due to the toy's conversion scheme, it can be transformed halfway into a Gerwalk configuration, though with forward swept wings. There are molded-in thruster ports on his heels, exposed in vehicle mode. Despite initial appearances, they are slightly too large to hold 5 mm accessories or [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] fire effects.

Darkwing and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] were Decepticon mercenaries, affiliated with no army or unit full-time. For their own reasons, however, they were interested in finding the location of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and his crew of Decepticon warriors. Tracking the group to the planet [[Nebulos]], Darkwing demanded the Nebulans give them the information on Scorponok's whereabouts. When they refused, Darkwing and Dreadwind began a campaign of terror on the planet that only stopped due to precautions the Nebulans had taken to poison their fuel supplies, a measure of foresight to prevent Transformers from returning to their world after the last war. Darkwing and Dreadwind froze up, becoming little more than a curiosity and tourist attraction in an open square.

Their luck changed thanks to a jealous and vindictive scientist named [[Hi-Test (G1)|Hi-Test]], who had worked on the fuel-tainting process but received none of the glory. Working with a thief named [[Throttle (G1)|Throttle]], Hi-Test stole information from his former boss [[Hi-Q]], and used it to create a new form of bio-mechanical engineering called the [[Powermaster]] Process, which would cybernetically enable him and Throttle to [[Binary bonding|binary bond]] with the Decepticons, becoming their engines to restore their ability to move and intake energy. Reaching an agreement with the Nebulans, Darkwing agreed to become binary bonded to Throttle, and the new Decepticon Powermasters began ransacking Nebulos once again. Now, however, many of their heists involved busting into restaurants and food courts so their Nebulan partners could gorge themselves, restocking their energy supplies and continuing to fuel their larger partners. Their antics were eventually interrupted when a group of Autobots arrived on Nebulos. Darkwing and Dreadwind were threatening the Council of Peers when [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]], [[Getaway]], [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]] and [[Slapdash (G1)|Slapdash]] charged them. Though the Decepticons held their own, Darkwing called for a retreat rather than face the enemy's superior numbers.

Darkwing and his allies went on to hassle the Council of Peers once more, this time to obtain the Autobots' location. By this time however, the Autobots had underwent the Powermaster binary bonding procedure with Hi-Q and his staff. Atop of this, the Decepticons had to contend with a reborn and upgraded [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]! Caught unawares by their enemies' power, Darkwing, Dreadwind and their partners were soundly defeated. It was decreed then that Hi-Test and Throttle were to be banished from Nebulos, and the pair blasted off-planet within Darkwing and Dreadwind's combined form, [[Dreadwing (G1)|Dreadwing]]. {{storylink|People Power!}} ''These events were observed by the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}}

Darkwing, Dreadwind, and their Powermaster partners eventually found themselves working for the [[Mecannibal]]s at [[Grand Central Space Station]], wrangling not only clients, but robots for the Mecannibals to devour. They discovered that two of their clients, [[Landmine (G1)|Landmine]] and [[Cloudburst]], were actually robots disguised as humans, and turned them in to their hungry bosses. {{storylink|Guess Who the Mecannibals Are Having for Dinner?}} The Autobots-in-disguise made a savory deal with the Mecannibals, and so Darkwing and Dreadwind followed them to [[Femax]].

Cloudburst and Landmine snitched, and the Powermasters found themselves on the run from their former bosses. {{storylink|Recipe for Disaster!}}

''At some point, the pair ended up on [[Earth]], working for [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Darkwing and Dreadwind served, in their combined form, as Throttle's getaway vehicle after the Nebulan stole an Autobot-made power cell. In its flight from the crime scene, the Dreadwing was shot down, and sent heading for the ocean. Though Dreadwind pleaded with Darkwing to disengage so that he wouldn't be taken down along with the latter, the pair found their combination mechanism fused, and so both wound up plunging into the drink. They remained nonoperational on the ocean floor while the Autobots retrieved their loot.'' {{storylink|Dreadwing Down!}}

''On Scorponok's orders, Darkwing and Dreadwind attacked [[Alternate Reality, Inc.]], where Optimus Prime had left behind a [[floppy disk]] containing a copy of his mind. They found the facility being guarded by [[Getaway]], [[Slapdash (G1)|Slapdash]], and [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]]. Dreadwind kept them busy with strafing runs while Darkwing made his way inside. Throttle found the disk post-haste, but on his way out, he and Darkwing were met by Getaway and [[Rev]], who had managed to slip past Dreadwind. Getaway got a shot off with his plasma-shell shotgun, badly injuring Darkwing's leg. Retaliating with his electro-kinetic blasters, Darkwing disarmed his opponent. With his opponent weaponless, Darkwing turned to the scuffle between their respective Nebulan partners. Forcing Rev to stand down at gun-point, the Decepticons resumed their exit. Though Darkwing's injury made it difficult for him to transform, he managed the effort, and reconvened with Dreadwind to combine into their Dreadwing form. Though Getaway caught back up to the Decepticons, his efforts only resulted in his hand getting stuck in their combination joint. Dreadwing blasted off, with the hapless Autobot getting tugged along for the ride.''

''After Getaway was stashed in a holding cell, Darkwing and Dreadwind were sent out by Scorponok once more. This time, they were carrying a smart missile that their leader had programmed to track Optimus wherever he went. After launching the payload, equipped with a camera so the Decepticons could witness Optimus's demise, the duo doubled back to base, hoping to make it back in time for the show. It wound up never coming about, as Getaway managed to escape and reprogram the missile into a dud.'' {{storylink|Prime Bomb!}}

[[File:Dreadwinddarkwingunicron.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|And when I say, "I love you Dread," it's not what it implies.]]
Returning to Cybertron, they took a job working for deposed Decepticon leader [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], who hired them to retrieve a special cargo from Earth: the deactivated body of [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]. ''En-route to Earth, the Powermaster duo crossed paths with an Autobot shuttle and decided to shoot it down for sport, managing to do so after a chase over the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]]'s surface. Believing that bit of fun to be done with, they then headed down planet-side, unaware that the Autobots had managed to ditch their ship at the last moment, and were now covertly following them. Upon arriving in southern [[Peru]], Darkwing and his allies found that Starscream was NOT so deactivated after all: his [[zombie]] body stalked the Earth, somehow animated past death by the remainder of the Underbase's energies. After the Decepticons were trounced by the zombie, their Autobot pursuers caught up to them, and were themselves attacked by Starscream. This distraction allowed for Hi-Test and Throttle to link up with their larger partners, re-energizing them into working condition. The Nebulans then managed to siphon the Underbase power directly from Starscream's corpse, causing him to crupple down into a heap. Before the Autobots could properly react to the situation, Darkwing and Dreadwind gathered up Starscream's parts, and flew off to meet with their employer.'' {{storylink|Race with the Devil}} The corpse was delivered to Megatron on Cybertron, who had recently abducted the Autobot medical officer Ratchet to exhort him into rebuilding Starscream using Pretender technology. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}} Megatron was impressed enough to offer Dreadwind and Darkwing full-time positions working for him, which they gratefully accepted as they weren't entirely sure that they had lost their Mecannibal pursuers. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} Darkwing and Dreadwind were soon put to task, helping the Sports Car Patrol deal with [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]], and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]], recently revived as [[Pretender]]s by Ratchet under Megatron's nose. The battle spread outside Megatron's base, moments before the headquarters detonated with Ratchet and Megatron still inside. With Megatron seemingly deceased, Darkwing and Dreadwind found themselves out of work again. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

''The two wandered rather aimlessly after that. They apparently spent quite a bit of time over-energizing at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] while complaining about their lot in life. Unbeknownst to the pair, a couple of Mecannibals had managed to track them down. Blissfully unaware of what was going on around them due to their inebriation, Darkwind and Dreadwind were rescued by Quickswitch, who used his tunneling mode to bury the Mecannibals alive deep underground.'' {{storylink|Out to Lunch!}} ''Subsequently Darkwing and Dreadwind attended the [[1989]] [[Transformer]]s' [[Christmas]] party where they monopolised the sofa, much to the annoyance of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]].'' {{storylink|:File:MarvelUK-250.jpg|''The Transformers'' #250 cover}}

When [[Primus]] gathered all his children to do battle with Unicron on Cybertron, Darkwing marked this solemn occasion by guffawing loudly at something Dreadwind was telling him and thus pissing off several Autobots. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}} Despite this frivolity, when the battle began Darkwing and Dreadwind were front and center. They joined the Autobots [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] and [[Cloudburst]] in taking the fight right into Unicron's face, and Darkwing was quite eager to bash him up. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} After the planet-eater was destroyed, Darkwing was among those who found Optimus's ruined form on the battlefield, still clinging to life despite being at ground zero when Unicron detonated. Prime named his successor, [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] before finally expiring. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

But the Transformers' troubles were far from over, even after Unicron's demise. With Primus's consciousness sundered during the apocalyptic battle, Cybertron could no longer hold itself together, and the planet slowly began ripping itself apart. On his way to an "emergency meeting" alongside Dreadwind, Darkwing complained how it was typical that their lives seemed to be a never-ending series of misfortunes. Upset that he couldn't vent his frustration towards anyone directly responsible for his current predicament, Darkwing decided that that Autobots were to blame. Thus, Darkwing and Dreadwind joined up with the Decepticons conspirators operating under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s command, and departed the planet in search of new worlds to conquer. The Autobots were left behind, their ships sabotaged so that they would be unable to escape Cybertron's destruction as the Decepticons had. {{storylink|Exodus!}} Darkwing looked on while Bludgeon randomly chose what world the Decepticons would wage war upon next, selecting [[Klo]] by stabbing his sword on a galactic map. {{storylink|A Savage Circle}} Darkwing and Dreadwind combined into their Dreadwing from to partake in the carnage, {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} and were responsible for killing off their old sparring partner, [[Getaway]], in this form. Neither were seen for the rest of the battle, but they presumably went into exile with the rest of the Decepticons after the return of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] turned the tide on that planet. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

====''Transformers Comic-Magazin''====
Darkwing was present when Megatron made peaceful gestures to Humanity in [[New York City]]. Darkwing and Dreadwind delivered a "statue" of [[Snaptrap (G1)|Snaptrap]] as a gift to the city. Unsurprisingly, once Humanity was off-guard, the Decepticons struck, and the Autobots barely stopped them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 4#Transformers in Action: The Troy Principle|The Troy Principle}} Those events were recorded on a videotape that was later found and watched by Autobots on Cybertron after a [[City of Fear!|nuclear disaster]] in [[Kalis]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 21|In Memory of Earth}}

They then used the distraction of a hijacked tanker to attack oil fields and refineries. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 6|A Big Day for Powermaster Optimus Prime}} Those events would later be observed via log recording by Autobots in the year [[2008]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic-Magazin issue 17|Powermaster Optimus Prime - A Robot, a Hero}}

When Bludgeon orchestrated a siege on planet Earth to antagonize Optimus Prime out into the open, Darkwing operated as the Decepticons' air support. {{storylink|Devices and Desires!

After resuming leadership of the Decepticons, Megatron allowed repairs to be performed on Darkwing. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness|Tales of Earth Part Three}} The Decepticon jet was rebuilt in [[Dreadwing (G2)|a much larger and more powerful form]]. Darkwing made his debut with the new body by obliterating the inoffensive [[Rheanimum]] miners of [[Tykos]]. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
After the Decepticons' defeat on Klo, Darkwing and Dreadwind retreated with Bludgeon to the corners of the galaxy, where the Decepticons regrouped. Fifteen years later, both had reverse-engineered the Powermaster process on their bodies, and separated from Hi-Test and Throttle. Dreadwind had left Darkwing behind to join [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]]'s team, and Dreadwind complained about it constantly. {{storylink|Games of Deception}}

Darkwing remained at Bludgeon's command, and was one of his top aides in preparing for a counter-strike from the recently reactivated Megatron. At Darkwing's suggestion, Bludgeon hired the best of the techno-guilds to reinforce their computer systems with firewalls and cyber-traps to protect their tactical layouts. And yet, Bludgeon's battle-plans were still compromised. Darkwing had uncovered a traitor among Bludgeon's crew. By backtracking the electronic imprint of the Decepticon who transmitted the information to Megatron, Darkwing fingered [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)|Hun-Grrr]] of the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] as the culprit. Bludgeon and the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]] confronted Hun-Grrr and, after a brief but brutal brawl between [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and [[Piranacon (G1)|Piranacon]], Hun-Grrr was taken off-line. The traitor defeated.

Then the Seacons killed Bludgeon and surrendered the faction to Megatron. Given Darkwing's involvement in identifying the problem and branding the so-called traitor, it is unknown if he was also in on the Seacons' betrayal. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

More than twenty-one years after the final conflict between the Autobots and the Decepticons, Darkwing and Dreadwind teamed up with [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] after observing the effect of his [[Gene Key]] on Cybertron's Autobots. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}} They joined the corrupted Headmasters, [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], in hunting down Grimlock, but were caught in a flash-bomb effect when Grimlock unleashed the nucleon-augmented [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]] on them. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}}

When [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was forced to turn himself over to the Decepticon in exchange for their prisoner [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]], Darkwing and Dreadwind acted as armed escorts bringing Prime before [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. {{storylink|Autobot Hostage}}

A few hundred years ago, Darkwing and Dreadwind were part of the last "big push" for control of Cybertron. Shortly after the Battle of [[Thunderhead Pass]], they were led into battle by [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] and the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

Years later, Darkwing was commander of the Decepticon [[Infiltration protocol|Infiltration Unit]] on [[Nebulos]], alongside his partner Dreadwind, [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullcruncher]], [[Crankcase (G1)|Crankcase]], [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] and [[Roadgrabber]]. Their infiltration was apparently still in the early stages when the rogue Decepticon juggernaut known as [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] came crashing down on the planet. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} Darkwing sent most of his troops into battle, knowing the show of resistance was futile but necessary to convince Megatron later that they fought for their territory. Still, he and Dreadwind remained and participated in the fight, but quickly departed after the last of their comrades was deactivated. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 3|Stormbringer #3}}

A few years later, after Megatron was defeated on Earth, Dreadwind and Darkwing were among the Decepticons who had heard the (self-proclaimed) Decepticon leader [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s rallying call and gathered on a desolate asteroid that was now their new headquarters. However, with the lack of resources, poor morale, and Starscream's weak leadership, the Decepticons largely collapsed into anarchy and resorted to cannibalism with not enough energon to go around. Darkwing apparently got sick of this and had the lugnuts to leave. When Dreadwind took more than his fair share of energon and was hunted down, he tried to blame the theft on Darkwing. After Dreadwind was killed, [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] opined that Darkwing was a thief, as well. {{Storylink|All His Engines}}

*Darkwing and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] startled the Autobot Powermasters by revealing that the Decepticons had been able to develop Powermasters of their own!

Then, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] joined the battle, and made a display of his considerable firepower against the Decepticons. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Powermasters|Powermasters commercial}}
*After a series of defeats forced the Autobots to develop Pretender technology, Dreadwind and Darkwing broke into the Autobots' research lab and approached the new Autobot warriors. The Decepticon duo was quickly forced to retreat as the Pretenders' ability to fight alongside their shells proved overwhelming. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Pretenders|Pretenders commercial}}
*Later, Darkwing and Dreadwind were the victims of the new Autobot [[Micromaster]]s.

*'''Darkwing''' (Powermaster, 1988)
**''Accessories'': "Throttle" Powermaster engine, left & right laser-guided electro-kinetic blasters

:Darkwing transforms into a Panavia Tornado GR1 fighter jet. He is locked in this mode until his packed-in partner Throttle is placed into the engine socket on his back (or until you push down the relevant buttons in said socket). Once "unlocked", he can also form the back half of the "Dreadwing" super-jet.

:Use caution when transforming him from jet to robot mode: the large clip inside the jet nosecone is famously prone to growing large stress marks, before breaking off entirely. You really have to make sure the Powermaster feature's release buttons are being pushed firmly in - and may have more luck doing it with your fingertips than with Throttle.

:This mold was used to make the [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]].

==Notes==
*In the Marvel continuity, several UK Annual stories depict Darkwing and Dreadwind as working for different Decepticon groups on Earth, but the continuity of these stories is difficult to wrangle. In "[[Prime Bomb!]]", they work for Scorponok, along with the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]. This can only happen after Scorponok takes full control of the Decepticons of Earth after the [[Underbase Saga]] but, while the Combaticons are not destroyed on-panel by Starscream, it is generally believed that all non-organic enhanced Transformers are disabled. "[[Dreadwing Down!]]" from the next year's annual stars the two Powermasters alongside the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]], so it can only have taken place before the Underbase Saga, but also the [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], who is on Cybertron under the [[Triumvirate|Triumverate]]'s command at that time. While some creative massaging of the facts can put these stories in continuity, it's probably best to consider Darkwing and Dreadwind officially unaffiliated with any army until after the war with [[Unicron]]. Their sudden appearances in "[[The Void! (US)|The Void!]]" among the various Autobots and Decepticons summoned by Primus does indicate they are on either Earth or Cybertron immediately prior, though.
*Like most manga-original Kreons, Darkwing is made up of existing Kreon parts. He wears [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]]'s helmet and the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]] backpack to replicate wings, and wields the small pistol first used by [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)|Bumblebee]].

Ultra Magnus (RID)

{{disambig3|Ultra Magnus}}
{{picsneeded|Toys.}}
:''Ultra Magnus is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Rid magnus.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|From angsty badass to angsty deus ex machina to angsty Super Mushroom.]]

Usually, Ultra Magnus is a [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|well-respected Autobot]] who is a great [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|friend]]/[[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|mentor]] to [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]].

THIS '''Ultra Magnus''', on the other hand, is not a happy camper.

Immensely powerful, he'd be one of the Autobots' greatest warriors, armed with multiple weapons which according to [[X-Brawn]] could take out an army. Except he's not especially keen on helping the Autobots out anymore. After all, they gave the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to his brother, [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]], and not him. This really, ''really'' didn't sit well with Magnus, and he vanished for years... only to come back with a major chip on his shoulder and a need to wallop his brother to prove that ''he'' deserves the Matrix.

He apparently doesn't understand the real criteria for Matrix-getting.

Despite his hatred of Optimus, they combine into the colossal [[Omega Prime]], one of the most powerful Autobots in the Multiverse, with alarming frequency when things get hairy. This is either because Magnus can't deny his (somewhat buried and tarnished) noble Autobot nature, or because if Prime gets blown to tiny bits, the Matrix could get blown to tiny bits with him.

[[File:Ultra Magnus eye.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Do you see what I see?]]
Ultra Magnus was created by [[Alpha Trion (RID)|Alpha Trion]] and brought online at exactly the same moment as his brother, Optimus Prime. They both served with distinction during the [[Cybertronian Civil Wars]], presumably against the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]]. Afterwards, when the time came for [[Vector Sigma]] (also referred to as the [[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]]) to choose a new Matrix Bearer and Autobot leader, Magnus was passed over in favor of Optimus. Magnus was infuriated by this, and left Cybertron immediately afterwards. He became increasingly embittered, both towards his brother and mainstream Autobots in general, causing him to come off as something of a jerk when dealing with them.

[[File:Ultra Magnus Magnusprime.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"Do you forgive me for getting the Matrix, Ultra Magnus?" "Nope."]]
Some time later, he tracked down his brother to the planet he was currently charged with protecting, [[Earth]]. There, he first encountered the [[Decepticon]]s and single-handedly defeated them all, even when they combined into [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], becoming the first being to beat Ruination without any sort of help. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}} {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 8|Ultra Magnus's profile in Club magazine #8}} He then challenged Optimus Prime for possession of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and command of the Autobots. Optimus refused to fight his brother, however, not that that stopped Ultra Magnus from blasting him with his powerful weapon, Blue Bolts. Optimus was only saved by the intervention of [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], and [[X-Brawn]], who rescued their commander and transported him to a remote island to recuperate. It was there that Optimus revealed to Side Burn his relationship to Ultra Magnus, much to the young Autobot's shock. Unfortunately, the Predacon [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] had used a hidden tracking device to locate Optimus Prime, and he, [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and the Decepticons ganged up on the weakened Autobot leader. Ultra Magnus then showed up, having followed Sky-Byte, and forced Optimus Prime to merge with him, becoming [[Omega Prime]], with the intention of absorbing the Matrix's power. However, he was shocked to discover that Optimus Prime had just as much control over Omega Prime as he did, and they were forced to cooperate to use their combined form's firepower to drive off the Decepticons. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}

Although he remained a free agent, Ultra Magnus would come to the aid of the Autobots whenever he felt they required assistance, though he was always quick to deny that he actually cared for their safety. He also often combined with Optimus when the situation required it. These frequent combinations apparently had some unexpected side effects, as Ultra Magnus seemed to unconsciously channel the energies of the Matrix into the [[Autobot Brothers|Autobot brothers]], upgrading them to their new "supercharged" forms. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} Although this was never explicitly explained in the show, afterwards, Optimus speculated that he and Magnus were now somehow "sharing" the Matrix. {{storylink|Power to Burn!}}

[[File:Two Faces Ultra Magnus vehicle.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Oh for crying out loud.....PICK A LANE ALREADY!]]
Ultra Magnus once pretended to join the Decepticons in an attempt to infiltrate the group, however, this plan failed due to the interference of the Autobot brothers, who believed that Magnus had genuinely betrayed them. An all-out battle between Autobots and Predacons/Decepticons soon erupted, with Ultra Magnus proving that his true loyalties lay with the Autobots. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} After having "gifted" the Autobot Brothers with the ability to assume their supercharged modes, Magnus now needed to contend with Prowl and Side Burn pestering him. He found Side Burn especially annoying. Despite Ultra Magnus already refusing once to join Megatron's forces, he was approached once more by Scourge, who made a similar proposition. Ultra Magnus remained steadfast in his allegiance to the Autobots, voicing his disappointment that Scourge actually believe his rivalry against his brother could be used to turn him towards evil. The rest of the Decepticons then came out of hiding to attack Magnus. Though Prowl and Side Burn came to Ultra Magnus's aid, Magnus took off, leaving the other two to deal with Scourge and the Commandos. He did feel guilty over deserting them though, and kept watch at a distance. When Optimus arrived on the scene and was unable to take care of his enemies on his own, Ultra Magnus rejoined the fray and combined with his brother to turn the tide. After a swift victory, Ultra Magnus took off once more, admitting that he suddenly had a lot to think about. {{storylink|Power to Burn!}}

He would constantly appear ''out of nowhere'' whenever the Autobots were in trouble, using his strength, guns and combining power to help save the day. How he always managed this is unknown. When his power alone wasn't enough, he would also regularly combine with his brother, and mow down the Predacons and Decepticons as Omega Prime. After the job was done, Ultra Magnus would always take off on his own once more. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}} {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}} {{storylink|Peril from the Past}} This victory streak wouldn't last forever, as Ultra Magnus was outmaneuvered by Sky-Byte of all 'bots. Magnus and the Autobot Brothers lost [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]] to the Predacons, who planned to use the small robot to control Fortress Maximus. Thankfully, Ultra Magnus was back in form in a later battle, and helped fend off the newly reborn Galvatron and his troops while a conflicted Fortress Maximus ran berserk across Metro City. Unfortunately, despite combining into Omega Prime, Cerebros slipped from Optimus and Ultra Magnus's grasp once more. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}} Later, Ultra Magnus just happened to be taking a nap in a desert where a battle between the Autobots and a Scourge-controlled Fortress Maximus too place. He was woken up by Side Burn's "whining" and flew in to help his brother, combining with Optimus to fight the gargantuan robot. Unfortunately, the two brothers’ power was not enough to stop Fortress Maximus. Thankfully, Dr. Onishi hatched a plan to overpower Scourge’s human bio-signature with a thousand Earth children. After the battle, Ultra Magnus took off once more. {{storylink|The Human Element}}

Ultra Magnus stopped Sky-Byte from kidnapping Koji and his friend [[Carl (RID)|Carl]]. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}} He later took part in the Autobots final clash with the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]] and [[Decepticon]]s but instantly combined with Optimus into Omega Prime to attack Megatron's [[Megastar|command center]]. Their attack failed. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}}

When the Autobots retreated from battle because Megatron had the children of the world hostage with his [[Cyber-bat]]s, he stayed behind and attacked Galvatron head on. Again, he failed miserably. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}}

As usual he popped out of nowhere to remove Optimus from battle and leave the other Autobots to be torched by Galvatron. Optimus asked Magnus to help him one last time. Magnus agreed, acting very surprised that Prime asked instead of ordering him. They merged into Omega Prime one last time to defeat Galvatron at the Earth's center, ending the conflict at last. Ultra Magnus then took custody of the prisoners aboard [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]] to return them to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

====Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?====
[[File:UltraMagnusToTheRescue Magnus kick.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Falcon kick!]]
While <s>stalking</s> following Optimus in [[Wyoming]], Magnus overheard T-AI sending the Autobot leader to a Predacon/Decepticon attack in [[Arizona]], and resolved to take care of it himself. On arriving at the energy research facility, he swiftly took care of [[Armorhide (RID)|Armorhide]] and [[Rollbar (RID)|Rollbar]] before casually slamming [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]] into the nearest building.

When Optimus expressed concern for the humans, Scourge took it as a cue to threaten the nearest fleshling to try to force the Autobots to surrender. On Optimus's urging, Magnus reluctantly agreed, however once Scourge was distracted, the pair took the opportunity to punch him in the face, and the Decepticons retreated. Before Optimus could thank his brother, Magnus was rolling off into the sunset. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?}}

[[File:TFUjailbreak.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Here I am, kept in this tiny room, forced to be kept merged to this dude who I hate.]]
In [[Viron 903.0 Beta]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/13}} some time after the defeat of Galvatron, Optimus Prime formed the [[Dimensional Patrol]] from the ranks of the Autobots who had stayed behind on Earth, as well as additional experts in [[transwarp]] technology, to defend the planet from those who would do it harm via the "temporal and spatial nexus" in Earth's proximity. Unfortunately, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and several members of the Dimensional Patrol were abducted by [[Unicron]]. Here they were to battle each other in the [[Cauldron]], where their energy would feed and repair the shattered body of the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|The Official Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine issue 1|Ultra Magnus's profile in Club magazine #1}}

As Omega Prime, Prime and Magnus escaped this fate in a jailbreak set into motion by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. They left Unicron for their home universe via a portal created by [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] and [[Snarl (BM)|Snarl]], {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}} but shortly thereafter they were once again called into service by [[Primus]] to join [[Child of Primus|an army]] in a [[Universe War|multiversal war]] against Unicron. {{storylink|Homecoming (Universe)|Homecoming}}

[[File:OptimusPrimeRIDprimuschamber.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Still had some anger issues.]]
The final battle of the war ended abruptly when Unicron's physical form was destroyed in another universe, resulting in the [[Unicron Singularity]], which threatened the very multiverse itself. Omega Prime escaped through a portal, expecting to end up on Optimus Primal's Cybertron, but their transit was diverted to the Cybertron of [[Aurex 405.0 Epsilon]] by [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]]. {{Storylink|Revelations Part 2}} There, they joined forces with the Autobots [[Sentinel Maximus]], [[Vector Prime]], and even that universe's version of their creator, Alpha Trion. When [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]] attempted to destroy [[Primus]] himself using the [[Dead Matrix]], they intervened as Omega Prime. Later, while his brother helped Primus recover, Ultra Magnus defeated Nemesis Prime in one-on-one combat. {{Storylink|Revelations Part 1}} As the group reconvened in the Chamber of Alpha Trion, Vector Prime's weakening temporal powers failed him, and he disappeared from the group. Overrun, a previously unseen ally now making his presence known to the others, assured them that the elder had simply resumed his proper place on Earth, and took on leadership of the group. Optimus and Magnus were tasked with securing the Dead Matrix in the [[Archives]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

Ultra Magnus later became involved in the [[Mini-Con Civil War]] that erupted on Cybertron's moons, {{Storylink|Revelations Part 4}} and even fought against the reincarnated Unicron himself as Omega Prime {{storylink|Revelations Part 5}} getting to see [[Primus]] himself show up, which prompted Unicron to flee. Some months after the conclusion of the black hole crisis, Ultra Magnus and his cohorts met with the local [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and his crew. This Optimus thanked them for protecting the homeworld in their absence, and Ultra Magnus shook hands with them. In the aftermath, Magnus and his brother planned to pursue Unicron. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

Optimus's nemesis [[Scourge (RID)#Spy Changer continuity|Scourge]] was the only villain who made the shift to a Spy Changer body, but outnumbered, she was defeated by Prime's forces. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/18}}

[[File:RID Ultra Magnus Toy.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|Everyone needs a ve-hicle mode, even the very tall.]]
*'''God Magnus''' (2000) / '''Ultra Magnus''' (Super Class, 2001)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-023'''
**''Accessories'': "[[Blue Bolts]]" cannon, 2 missiles
:''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Magnus's [[alternate mode]] is a massive car-carrier vehicle (akin to his G1 counterpart). He is able to carry all three Autobot Brothers when in "carrier mode". In [[robot mode]], Magnus is a rather towering figure due to his oddly long legs (made up of the carrier component from his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]). His "Blue Bolts" weapon can be configured into three different modes and, when plugged into the proper connectors, generate different sound effects. A button on his back also allows for an additional shout from Magnus (in either Japanese or English, depending on the version of the toy). The Japanese release is slightly different in that it uses different missiles, lacks tampographed Autobot symbols on the sides, and features darker, metallic-flaked plastics, and, as expected, Japanese voice clips. Magnus can combine with the large ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime toy to create Omega Prime. Just like his combiner partner, Ultra Magnus features Mini-Con ports before they were used in Armada. Unchanged from the Takara release the tires featured the name "GOD MAGNUS" instead of "ULTRA MAGNUS".

:Ultra Magnus is a more recent example of a partformer; you are required to remove his trailer, transform it into his legs, and then reattach them at the thigh to complete his robot mode.

**''Accessories:'' "Blue Bolts" cannon, 2 missiles

:This [[black repaint]] of Ultra Magnus is ''hugely'' rare, to the extent that its very ''existence'' is occasionally questioned. Only ten units are known to exist, having been offered in a ''[[TV Magazine]]'' prize draw that seemed to slip under everyone's radar. The figure would later be included in a "Black God Fire Convoy" giftset with Black Super Fire Convoy.

:This two-figure giftset includes the Black God Magnus figure, plus the black version of the Optimus figure (itself only available through contests and raffles, although in significantly larger numbers than Magnus had been), who together combine to form Black God Fire Convoy. It was just as limited in its availability as the original Black God Magnus figure, with the only ten units known to exist being offered as prizes in a scratch-card contest that TV Magazine run until early November 2000.

The set also included the Super God Sword, which had previously been available only through various contests and raffles.

:The giftset was exclusive to Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] stores. Released in November 2000, it was limited to 3000 pieces; reportedly, only 100 TRUs carried the set, and limited customers to one purchase on the day of release.

:A simplified, smaller version of Ultra Magnus at the basic price point. It has room for one Spychanger on the top of the carrier mode, such as the smaller versions of Side Burn and X-Brawn, but, of course, they are wildly out of scale with each other. The toy has a surprising amount of articulation for a Spychanger, with joints for the head, shoulders and legs. (Magnus Split action!) He only has 4 moving wheels; the rest are molded in.

[[File:RIDPrime02.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Ironically, filled with [[Burning justice|blazing justice.]] ]]

'''Optimus Prime''' (aka '''Fire Convoy''') is a stern and serious commander, devoted to protecting freedom and innocent life. He has seen the galactic path of conquest and destruction already burned by [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] and swears it will not include [[Earth]]. Optimus Prime often finds himself in the role of "straight man" to the more comic stylings of the other Autobots and [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]], and tends to treat their humorous exaggerations or personality quirks as statements of straightforward fact. His subordinates view him as a great leader, if stubborn and much too prone to long speeches. Optimus Prime's greatest weakness is his sense of nobility. If an adversary claims to have had a change of heart and discovered inner goodness, Prime will fall for it every single time. But once he finds out he's been had, they'd better watch out!

[[File:BattleProtocol Prime gun.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Firearms are the right of all sentient beings.]]
Optimus Prime was created, along with [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]], by [[Alpha Trion (RID)|Alpha Trion]] during the [[Golden Age]]. The two of them were raised together, and thus, saw each other as brothers. However, this relationship was torn apart after the Cybertron Civil Wars, whereupon the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] chose Optimus Prime to command the Autobots in stopping the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]] leader [[Megatron (RID)|Megatron]] from ravaging the universe in his quest for energy. Ultra Magnus left Cybertron that same day, bitter and spiteful of his brother. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}

Prime soon struck up command on [[Earth]], where he took the form of a fire truck. Operating out of a secret base in [[Metro City]], he and his fellow Autobots were more than ready to face Megatron and his Predacons. The conflict began when Megatron appeared in New York, attempting to kidnap the famous scientist [[Kenneth Onishi|Doctor Kenneth Onishi]]. Optimus struck up a friendship with Onishi's son, [[Koji Onishi|Koji]], and despite not being able to save the boy's father, vowed that he would help rescue him. {{storylink|Battle Protocol!}}

[[File:BulletTrainRescue Prime through window.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Armor Digivolve!]]
Optimus later took Koji to see the Autobot base, during a series of Predacon attacks on trucks around Metro City. New Predacon [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]] turned out to be after a terrorist device hidden in a sports car. With the bomb on the verge of exploding, Optimus converted to his [[Super Mode|battle mode]] and used his power stream to blast the shark and the bomb safely into space. {{storylink|An Explosive Situation}} The launch of the [[Linear RFG]] bullet train was also a clear target for the Predacons, and Optimus ordered the Autobots to provide an escort. Sure enough, the Predacons destroyed a bridge ahead, and Optimus aided [[Team Bullet Train]] in stopping the train before disaster occurred. {{storylink|Bullet Train to the Rescue}}

Together with the [[Autobot Brothers]], Prime prevented the Predacons from stealing the [[Plutonium Energy Generator]] stored in a Metro City warehouse. When the generator was later moved, the Predacons made a second attempt, but Prime was content to sit back and watch the [[Spy Changer]]s go to work in foiling the quartet. {{storylink|Spychangers to the Rescue}}

A distress call from Koji sent Optimus and the Autobot Brothers to a location in the sea near Metro City. Using the [[Global Space Bridge]], the Autobots made the leap out to a stricken ship, which was under attack by the Predacons. Prime fought with Sky-Byte, discovering that the shark had the edge while underwater. Once the ship was righted, the Autobot Leader quickly beat the Predacon into a withdrawal with his Fist of Steel. {{storylink|The Hunt for Black Pyramid}} Prime suspected that an attack by Megatron and the Predacon trio in the middle of Metro City was a diversion, and this was confirmed by an SOS from Side Burn, who was exploring [[Payuma ruins|Native American ruins]]. After Prime had traveled to the ruins and fought off Sky-Byte, the Autobots found a [[Doctor Onishi's microchip|microchip]], hidden there by Doctor Onishi. {{storylink|The Secret of the Ruins}}

[[File:SecretWeaponD5 TAI Prime thoughtful.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Something about the upper chassis design?]]
Following Side Burn's kidnapping by the Predacons, Prime responded to the ransom request... by turning up alone and promptly being captured himself. Megatron began beating on the bound Optimus, until [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], [[X-Brawn]] and the Spy Changers mounted a stealth rescue. The prisoners freed, the Autobots turned on the Predacons and chased them off. {{storylink|Sideburn's Obsession}} When Koji reported a Predacon attack on the [[Grandpa|D-512 Stanwich Steamer]], Optimus coordinated the Autobot defense from home base. After [[Midnight Express (RID)|Midnight Express]]'s last minute rescue of the train, Optimus held Koji up so that the boy could film the steam engine. {{storylink|Secret Weapon: D-5}}

[[File:SkidZsChoice Prime dynamic stock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|I hope you like this shot, [[Stock footage|cos you'll be seeing it a lot!]]]]
Optimus was not very worried about Mirage having apparently defected, stating that he was an Autobot and a member of the elite Spy Changers. {{storylink|Mirage's Betrayal}} Optimus has the Autobots all enter the [[International Grand Prix]] in order to try and find [[Skid-Z (RID)|Skid-Z]], a recently arrived Autobot who had scanned a racing car and become possessed by the urge to compete in races. Unfortunately the Predacons decided to enter the race too, and partway through, Optimus and the Autobot Brothers found themselves holding up a huge rock dropped onto them by Megatron. Fortunately Skid-Z himself turned up and destroyed the rock, allowing them to chase Megatron off. {{storylink|Skid Z's Choice}}

Another new recruit, [[Tow-Line (RID)|Tow-Line]] went rogue and began towing away random Autobots to an unspecified location. Prowl and Optimus finally managed to track Tow-Line down, correcting the damage to his circuits done by the Predacons, and rescuing their fellows. A rousing battle ensued, with inevitable defeat for the Predacons. {{storylink|Tow-Line Goes Haywire}} A Predacon investigation of the [[Cave of the Dragon]] lead Optimus and Midnight Express to dress up as a huge statue to chase them off. The ruse worked, and Optimus discovered that the cave did contain something of interest—an [[O-Part]]! {{storylink|The Ultimate Robot Warrior}} Concerned at recent Predacon activity, Optimus called the Autobots back to HQ to review previous missions. {{storylink|Hope for the Future}}

[[File:TheDecepticons Prime missile launchers.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Why my shoulders hurt?]]
Lead by Doctor Onishi's microchip to [[Castle Peak]], Prime and the Autobot Brothers found the Predacons digging up a derelict Autobot spacecraft. The ship contained six [[protoform]]s, which Megatron promptly stole, whisking them away to nearby [[McKinley Army Base]] to be formatted into [[Decepticon]]s. During the fight at the base, [[Kelly (RID)|Kelly]] attempted to flee in a fuel tanker, and was saved by Optimus from plunging into a crater. The last protoform scanned Optimus and the tanker at the same time, resulting in [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], a Decepticon resembling a twisted clone of the Autobot leader. {{storylink|The Decepticons}} The Decepticons' first mission was to attack [[Sherman Dam]], during which Optimus managed to stop them from detonating explosives planted on the dam, and clashed with Scourge. {{storylink|Commandos}}

[[File:Volcano Prime battle mode stock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"I am Optimus Prime. And your Light... is mine."]]
More activity lead Prime and the Spy Changers to [[Montrose Island]], where they clashed with the Decepticons and Sky-Byte. With the volcano in danger of erupting, Optimus froze the crater with his Blizzard Storm attack, but was occupied fighting Scourge to do any more. He pinned [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], allowing the Spy Changer to use their [[Inferno Blast]] to divert the erupting lava to the sea. {{storylink|Volcano (episode)|Volcano}} The Decepticons had [[Movor]] fired into space to try and locate the Autobot base from orbit, by observing Autobot movements. Optimus had Side Burn go to [[Pier 7B]], where an ambush had been arranged. Prime's battle with Scourge was largely won by the fact that Movor kept firing on the pair from space and accidentally hitting Scourge. {{storylink|Attack from Outer Space}}

Prime hoped that Scourge and his fellow Decepticons would one day be restored to their true Autobot selves, and in fact at one point [[Mega-Octane]] met with Optimus Prime, claiming that the Decepticons wanted to defect. Just as Optimus was about to show the Decepticons to the Autobot base, Sky-Byte attacked. Scourge's strike at the Predacon would have incurred a human casualty, had Optimus not deflected the sword blow with his [[Flying Fist]], and the trick was revealed. Enraged with disappointment, Optimus [[Burning justice|glowed with power]] as he fought off the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Test (episode)|The Test}}

[[File:WedgesShortFuse Prime Blizzard Blast.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|This image conjures some uncomfortable imagery...]]
Optimus took part in countering a series of attacks on power plants, {{storylink|The Fish Test}} and arrived in [[Antarctica]] in time to help the [[Build Team (RID)|Build Team]] defeat the Decepticon and Predacon forces. {{storylink|Wedge's Short Fuse}} He also helped the Build Team reach the space bridge computer after the Decepticons sabotaged it. During the subsequent battle in the Arctic, he was content to let [[Landfill (RID)|Landfill]] face Megatron alone, as a matter of honor. {{storylink|Landfill (episode)|Landfill}}

Sky-Byte and his Predacons attacked the [[CGA Tower]] during its opening, apparently holding the humans inside hostage and demanding that Optimus Prime bring him the O-Parts. Optimus headed for the scene, but was cut off by the Decepticons. His haste resulted in him speedily dispatching Ruination with one shot from his Blaze Blaster, before hurrying to the tower. After a further battle with Scourge, Optimus helped stabilise the tower so that Landfill could create a new foundation for it. {{storylink|Sky-Byte Saves the Day}} After the Decepticons began a vendetta against the Build Team, Optimus ordered the Build Team not to get involved—but they did anyway, battling Ruination underground. Prime reached the location after Landfill had defeated the Decepticons in a huge fireball, and extinguished the four Autobots. {{storylink|A Test of Metal}}

[[File:Forced Fusion Optimusbattlestation.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Matters escalated when Ultra Magnus appeared on Earth, making his desire to take the Matrix from Optimus Prime known to his "brother". Optimus confronted Magnus, inviting the Autobot to join his team, but Magnus refused and challenged Prime to a duel. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}} Optimus refused to fight Magnus, and was thus mercilessly fired upon, until [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], [[Prowl (RID)|Prowl]], and [[X-Brawn]] arrived to carry him away. Prime took refuge on a deserted island, but the Decepticons, Megatron, and Magnus all tracked him there. In the midst of the battle, Magnus forcibly activated their ability to combine into [[Omega Prime]], intending to use it to drain Prime of his energy so he could take the Matrix, but Optimus managed to take control and use their combination to stop the Decepticons. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus: Forced Fusion!}}

Optimus took time out to review footage of the Autobots' recent missions, in order to better understand his enemies. {{storylink|Lessons of the Past}}

After the Decepticons captured the Autobot Brothers, Optimus confronted them, but was unable to fight back under threat of the brothers being killed. Despite being pounded on by the Decepticons, Optimus was fit enough to combine with Ultra Magnus once the three brothers were freed. {{storylink|The Two Faces of Ultra Magnus}} Optimus came to the Autobot Brothers' rescue himself when they experienced an odd power drain during battle. He fought Ruination and Scourge alone until Ultra Magnus arrived to lend a hand. {{storylink|Power to Burn!}}

[[File:KojiGetsHisWish Optimus firing at Scourge.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left|I don't belong in this reality!]]
During the search for some ruins under Metro City, Optimus Prime monitored things from base. He joined his men when they found [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]] hidden in the ruins, and helped fight the Decepticons off. {{storylink|Fortress Maximus (episode)|Fortress Maximus}} While the Build Team concealed Fortress Maximus, Optimus kept Scourge busy, fighting the Decepticon beneath the city. {{storylink|Koji Gets His Wish}} He turned up in the [[Sahara|Sahara Desert]] after the rest of the Autobots had collected all of the O-Parts, in time to fight off Megatron. {{storylink|A Friendly Contest}}

[[File:MaximusEmerges Optimus and Magnus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Christian side-hug.]]
Combined into an orb, the O-Parts lead Optimus and the Autobot Brothers back to the Sahara, and a pyramid located in a cavern beneath the sands. There they battled with Megatron and the Decepticons over the [[Orb of Sigma]]. Once again, Omega Prime was formed in order to battle Megatron, and at the end of the battle, only the Autobot was still standing. {{storylink|Peril from the Past}} Though the Autobots gained the location of [[Cerebros (RID)|Cerebros]], the key to activating Fortress Maximus, Cerebros was snatched from their grasp by the Decepticons. Optimus lead his men in attempted to protect the titan, but Scourge managed to succeed. Fortress Maximus proved impossible to control, and began rampaging across the city. The return of Megatron, in a few form as Galvatron, complicated the battle, and even Optimus and Ultra Magnus combined into Omega Prime were unable to stop the devastation, until Koji managed to command Maximus to stop. {{storylink|Maximus Emerges}}

[[File:SurpriseAttack Optimus carries Cerebros.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left|"I look ridiculous"]]
Clashes with the Decepticons and Fortress Maximus in a desert {{storylink|The Human Element}} and a forest were largely unsuccessful, but internal ructions in the Decepticon ranks eventually resulted in the Autobots managing to gain control of Cerebros. {{storylink|Mistaken Identity}} When the Decepticons discovered the location of the Autobot base and mounted an attack, Optimus took Cerebros, leading the Decepticons through Metro City to an ambush in a more remote location. Prime and Magnus combined into Omega Prime once again, but found they were ineffective against the power of Galvatron's ''[[Megastar]]'', and were forced to sit back and watch as Fortress Maximus dealt with the battle station. {{storylink|Surprise Attack!}}

Galvatron had survived the confrontation and began draining power from Fortress Maximus. When Omega Prime confronted him, he responded by using [[cyber-bat]]s to enslave and threaten the world's children. Prime was forced to call a retreat through the space bridge, which gave Galvatron the opportunity to trap them there and flood the tunnel with lava. As Optimus was overcome by the lava, Koji's words inspired him to escape and confront Galvatron once more. {{storylink|Galvatron's Revenge}}

Though Galvatron seized the rest of the Autobots in an energy field, Optimus escaped and combined with Ultra Magnus. Omega Prime challenged Galvatron one-on-one at the [[Earth's core]]. He was seemingly no match for the Decepticon leader, until Fortress Maximus sent his power, which energized the Matrix, forming the giant weapon, the [[Matrix Blade]]. Galvatron was defeated, and with that, the Autobots' mission on Earth was finished, and Prime resolved to return to Cybertron—but not before "one last look around" with Koji and the rest of his team. {{storylink|The Final Battle (RID)|The Final Battle}}

====Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?====
[[File:UltraMagnustotheRescue Optimus Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
With the other Autobots all engaged in other fights around the world, Optimus Prime alone was available to answer T-AI's battle protocol at an experimental nuclear generator in Arizona. His opening plan was to lure the Predacons and Decepticons away from the humans to battle them at a safe distance, but his wayward brother Ultra Magnus intervened, confronting the villains head on in the middle of the generator plant. As Prime chastised Magnus for his rash action, Scourge overheard and seized on the idea to threaten the humans if the Autobots didn't stand down. Despite his anger at Optimus, Ultra Magnus remembered his Autobot training and reluctantly laid down his weapon. At the proper moment, though, the brothers managed to attack a distracted Scourge and save the humans. The Predacons and Decepticons escaped with the generator, but the humans were safe. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus...to the Rescue?}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
Some time later, Optimus was part of Omega Prime as Omega Prime worked with Fortress Maximus to put an end to the universe-consumption campaign of an apparent non-singularity version of Unicron, a warlord who had united his consciousness with [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/28}}

In universal stream [[Viron 903.0 Beta]], {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/13}} after turning in Galvatron to the proper authorities, Optimus Prime enjoyed the time following by studying various lifeforms and their environments on other planets throughout the universe. During this vacation, his weapons systems were upgraded considerably.

However, his skills were inevitably needed once again on Earth when evil threatened the planet. He formed the [[Dimensional Patrol]] from the ranks of the Autobots who had stayed behind on Earth, as well as additional experts in transwarp technology, to defend the planet from those who would do it harm via the "temporal and spatial nexus" in Earth's proximity. Unfortunately, Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and several members of the Dimensional Patrol were abducted by [[Unicron]]. Here they were to battle each other in the [[Cauldron]], where their energy would feed and repair the shattered body of the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|The Official Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine issue 1|Optimus Prime's profile in Club magazine #1}} One of Optimus's fellow abductees was [[Red Alert (RID 2001)|Red Alert]], who died at some point and had his body taken over by [[Inferno (Universe)|Inferno]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/13}}

As Omega Prime, Prime and Magnus escaped this fate in a jailbreak set into motion by [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. They left Unicron for their home universe via a portal created by [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] and [[Snarl (BM)|Snarl]], {{storylink|Escape (Universe)|Escape}} but shortly thereafter they were once again called into service by [[Primus]]. {{storylink|Homecoming (Universe)|Homecoming}}

{{note|It is unclear whether the change to a yellow color scheme accompanied the weapons systems upgrade or if these colors were visited upon him by the [[Unicron virus|corrupting energies]] of the [[Pit]].

[[File:OptimusPrimeRIDprimuschamber.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Prime picked this trick up from watching ''BASEketball.'']]

During the final battle with the [[Minion of Unicron (Universe)|Minions of Unicron]] in the [[Pit]], Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus (as Omega Prime) were fighting alongside the [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]] when the corrupt pocket universe began to collapse around them. Omega Prime and the others fled through a dimensional portal, but the powerlinxed brothers were diverted by the former [[Mini-Con]] [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] into [[Aurex 405.0 Epsilon|another reality]], {{Storylink|Revelations Part 2}} just in time to stop [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]] from unleashing the [[Dead Matrix]] inside the Spark Chamber of [[Primus]]. The evil clone was defeated, {{storylink|Revelations Part 1}} and the brothers hooked up with [[Sentinel Maximus]] and his comrades as they attempted to fortify the local Cybertron against the [[Unicron Singularity]]. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}}

[[File:InvasionPrologue-Primes.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Prime probably should have learned by now that Sentinel Maximus can't do anything.]]
Working relatively behind the scenes while that reality's [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and his crew searched for the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, Optimus Prime and his brother found themselves moderating an internal dispute among the Mini-Con colonies in Cybertron's debris field, {{Storylink|Revelations Part 4}} and were engaged with a Cybertronian-sized version of [[Unicron]] himself when Primus first transformed due to an infusion of Cyber Key Power. {{storylink|Revelations Part 5}} Some months later, after the final battle with the Cyber Key empowered [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], Optimus Prime first met his local counterpart, and they exchanged information on their endeavors over the last few months. With the newly reformed Unicron on the loose after their last encounter, Optimus chose to join Ultra Magnus and Sentinel Maximus in hunting him down. {{storylink|Revelations Part 6}}

Optimus Prime was gathered in [[Axiom Nexus]] by [[Optimus Prime (TransTech)|its Optimus Prime]], along with a roster of other Optimus Primes and [[Sentinel Maximus|their]] [[Lio Convoy|kin]] in a group known as the [[Convoy (group)|Convoy]]. A multiversal cataclysm in [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon|a universe]] seeded with [[Rarified Energon]] and an invasion by evil Autobots from [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|the negative polarity universe]] had called them into action. Since Matrix bearers were usually never allowed into Axiom Nexus, this was a grave threat indeed! {{storylink|Invasion Prologue}}

His name was on a list of Convoy members given by [[Cheetor (TransTech)|Cheetor]] to [[Andromeda (TransTech)|Andromeda]].

Ignition Prime was present at a meeting of the Convoy after the turmoil caused by the [[Waruder]] invasion of Axiom Nexus. {{storylink|Cybertron's Most Wanted}}

Knowing that the memories it contained were invaluable, Fire Convoy had the Beta BT unit rebuilt with [[Spy Changer]] technology and infused with life by [[Vector Sigma]]. [[Prowl 2]] taught Fire Convoy and his Dimensional Patrol much about life on late 20th century Earth although Prowl 2 himself was unable to join the Dimensional Patrol on their expedition due to the risk of time paradoxes. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/10}}

When [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattle]] explained to him about characters like [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Sky-Byte found through research that "Optimus Prime" was the English name of his hated enemy, Fire Convoy. Thus, he sought to ruin Fire Convoy's reputation in this world... by dressing up as ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]]'' Optimus Prime.

*'''Super Fire Convoy''' (2000) / '''Optimus Prime''' (Super Class, 2001)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-001'''
**''Accessories'': Pistol, 4 missiles

:''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into a Japanese Hino Brandlier fire truck. Harkening back to Generation 1 toys, he features chromed wheels with rubber tires. The forward section of his truck detaches to become his standard [[robot mode]]. His '[[trailer]]' can be reconfigured into a sort of battle station. The station can then be disassembled and attached around the robot to form his Battle Mode. His standard robot can combine with [[Ultra Magnus (RID)#Toys|Ultra Magnus]] to form [[Omega Prime]].

:The original [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''Car Robots'' release differs from the [[Hasbro]] version in that it has a darker, metallic-flake plastic, gold chrome eyes for both modes and has no Autobot symbols tampo-printed on the shoulder pads. Obviously, the voice clips used for the Japanese toy are also different, although the English clips are essentially translations of the Japanese ones (with the Hasbro toy incorrectly proclaiming that Optimus Prime's transformation into super mode uses the code-phrase "[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|maximize]]"). Additionally, the Hasbro version has the unfortunate tendency for its rubber tires to split down its molding connection. Furthermore, Fire Convoy's missiles are of a different mold on the Japanese toy. The toy’s ladder features a trigger that flips all four of his missile launchers forward into firing position when pressed. On Fire Convoy, pressing this trigger causes all four missiles to immediately launch (if by "launch" you mean "be-flung-up-into-the-air-and-fall-to-the-ground-instantly") when they flip forward, whereas the Hasbro toy removes the auto-fire feature, allowing them to be launched one-at-a-time via individual triggers. Unchanged from the Takara release, the tires feature the name "FIRE CONVOY" instead of "OPTIMUS PRIME". The Hasbro release also filled in the lowest row of holes on the sides of the ladder's lower section, which are also attatched to the wrong sides. This misassembly is present on all Hasbro releases of the mold, as well as the Encore release.

:By some bizarre twist of fate, the standard [[robot mode]] has four [[Mini-Con]] ports on his arms ''before'' they were used in ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]''.

:Optimus Prime's pistol can also be stored on the right side of a backpack, but this was dropped from the Hasbro instructions.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Defensor (OTFCC)#Universe .282003.29|OTFCC 2005 Defensor]], but that toy ended up unreleased.

: Also known as "Super Fire Convoy Black Version" and "Dark Super Fire Convoy", this [[black repaint]] of the Optimus Prime figure featured a golden chrome chest, and clear sirens. It was available only as a prize in several contests held by Takara: 15 units were available as prizes in a raffle held in [[TV Magazine]] in July; 400 were raffled off in a drawing that involved sending in coupons that came with the ''Car Robots'' DVDs (200 from October to December 2000, and 200 more from March to May 2001); and an undetermined amount were offered in a scratch-card contest also held by TV Magazine.

: A Sam's Club [[exclusive]], the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' release of ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime swaps out his red plastic for yellow and makes his Super Mode "bandolier" black . He came packed in [[robot mode]] in an upright display package, which featured a sticker on the front with a hilariously mistransformed Omega Prime, advertising the toy's combining ability with the simultaneously-released, slightly-redecoed Sam's Club exclusive ''Universe'' release of ''Robots in Disguise'' Ultra Magnus.

: Likely conceived as a simple repackaging of Optimus' and Magnus' ''Universe'' figures, this [[Costco]] exclusive ultimately redecoes Prime's yellow plastic back into red... which ends up making him functionally identical to his original toy, albeit with the ''Universe'' toy's black chest detailing.
: He was sold with ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)#Cybertron|Ultra Magnus]], an unchanged Super Class ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Ultra Magnus. His continuity of origin was ambiguous for years, as he was released under the ''Cybertron'' banner. The Facebook edition of "[[Ask Vector Prime]]" settled the issues in [[2015]].

===Titanium Series===

*'''Optimus Prime''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)
**''Accessories'': Display stand, nameplate

: ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Optimus is a six-inch tall [[die-cast]] metal and plastic version of ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime. In [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] the ladder rotates at its base and the nozzles flip out of the end of the ladder, but the ladder cannot extend. As he is much simplified compared to the larger toy, the (largely hollow) front of the vehicle cannot separate and form the standard [[robot mode]], nor can the rear of the vehicle form the battlestation. Instead, the entire fire truck transforms into a simplified version of the super robot Battle Mode. His legs unfold like the original Super Mode's forearms do. On this version of Optimus, panels on his forearms pop up and reveal small, non-firing sculpted guns.

: His ladder can be detached, as can his arms. Oddly enough, the ladder can connect to his shoulder joint, but only on the detached arms. This is very bizarre, as his arm and ladder don't do anything when connected. He also has some strange ports around his body that seem to do nothing.

: This mold was also used to make ''Titanium Series'' [[Hot Spot (G1)#Titanium Series|Hot Zone]].

**''Accessories'': Pistol, 4 missiles

:In this ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' reissue giftset, Super Fire Convoy and God Magnus have slightly different plastic colors, and the chrome details are replaced by show-accurate paint applications. Fire Convoy's truck mode has the "C-001" license plate [[show-accuracy|as seen in the animation]]. The tip of the Super God Sword is now translucent.

:Many specimens of this toy feature a design flaw in Fire Convoy's ankle joints, which makes it hard or impossible to get the truck cab to clip together properly.

==Notes==
*According to the first ''Car Robots'' toy catalog, Optimus and his Autobots are part of a "Dimensional Patrol" that followed the Predacons from another dimension. This seems to have been only vaguely alluded to in the Japanese version of the show—Fire Convoy expressed bewilderment in the 12th episode for an O-Part "to exist during this time," suggesting that he and the O-Parts come from another time—but does not seem to have played a large part of the main story, to the extent that the ''Robots in Disguise'' dub was able to omit it entirely. However, the [[3H Productions|3H]] supplemental materials for the ''Universe'' series re-established the idea, presenting the "Dimensional Patrol" as a post-cartoon organization.
*The first ''Car Robots'' catalog also stated that Fire Convoy and Gigatron were once "[[:File:MangaYoungDeathyStarSaber.jpg|childhood friends]]" that became eternal rivals. We don't really have any idea how that was supposed to work.
*Fans in Japan joke that Optimus Prime is an Autobot [[Emperor of Destruction]] rather than an Autobot [[Supreme Commander]], due to his actions in the ''Car Robot'' anime.
*For this incarnation of Optimus, voice actor [[Neil Kaplan]] specifically impersonated the voice of the original [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Peter Cullen]]. ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime is one of the few major Optimuses ([[Optimus Prime (Animated)|three as]] [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|of 2019]]) whose English voice actor isn't Cullen or [[Garry Chalk]]. At conventions, Kaplan refers to himself as "the {{w|George Lazenby}} of Optimus Primes".<ref>This would presumably make [[David Kaye]] the {{w|Daniel Craig}} of Optimus Primes.</ref>
*''Cybertron'' "Multi-Pack" Optimus Prime's on-package [[bio]] seems to indicate he's ''Unicron Trilogy'' Optimus Prime. However, his (and Magnus') deco was later used in the [[Fun Publications]] ''Cybertron'' fan club magazine comic as ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime having traveled to the ''Unicron Trilogy'' universe.
*Optimus Prime's [[Super Mode]] chest resembles the chest of EnRyu from ''[[Brave (franchise)|King of Braves GaoGaiGar]]'', another Takara series. EnRyu also transforms into a fire truck with a similarly positioned "ladder cannon".
*This is the first incarnation of Optimus not to be [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|killed off]] at any point during his series. Possibly due to the fact that he is not intended to be [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]] in the original ''Car Robot'' series.
**However, the Optimus Prime in "[[Shell Game]]" was later retconned as an iteration of ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime, so that darkens things a bit.
*Optimus was left out of the [[BotCon 2010]] [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] video tribute to Optimus Prime(s).
*Michelle Carolus voiced Optimus at the [[OTFCC 2004]] voiced drama but Optimus's female voice went unmentioned by the rest of the cast. Eleven years later, "Ask Vector Prime" retconned her into an Optimus Prime who just happened to be female (grandfathering the Spy Changer Scourge as female too, due to their clone nature). In the script, she was called "Optimus Prime (Micro)".
*''Kre-O'' Fire Convoy wears a ''Kre-O'' [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] helmet piece painted up to resemble Super Fire Convoy.
*This incarnation of Optimus later inspired the name and design of [[Fire Prime]] in the ''Animated'' storybook "[[Bots of Science]]".

Crosshairs (G1)

{{factions|autobot}}
{{disambig3|Crosshairs}}
:''Crosshairs is an [[Autobot]] [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:G1 Crosshairs boxart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Crosshairs. Everyone owns one. Everyone.]]
As the Autobot weapons supervisor, '''Crosshairs''' oversees the procurement and maintenance of a dizzying arsenal of implements of death for his fellow Autobots. Long association with such machinery has made him meticulous and careful, possibly to a fault. Crosshairs will often refuse to fire his own weapon unless he's certain it won't miss.

Crosshairs enjoys a good relationship with his equally methodical Targetmaster partner [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pinpointer]], who is content to let Crosshairs call the shots.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
Crosshairs was Weapons Supervisor in his hometown on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]; he had a long career of acquiring and maintaining his comrades' arsenal of boom sticks. He found the role disturbing, however, as he saw more and more casualties as a result of his work. {{storylink|The Transformers Universe|Crosshairs's ''Universe'' profile}} Eventually, [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]'s Decepticons came along and blew the place up and took everybody captive. Crosshairs was being shuffled off toward a messy end in the [[smelting pool]]s when an attack by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]] and company saved him.

Crosshairs quickly joined Maximus's band, and he was among the first to agree when Maximus decided to quit the war and seek a reprieve on [[Nebulos]]. However, even the peaceful alien world had its share of warmongers, and the Autobots' chance at a peaceful coexistence with the natives came under threat as soon as they arrived. Crosshairs was one of nearly a dozen Autobots who gave up their personal weapons to the Nebulans as a sign of cooperation. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

[[File:BrothersinArmor-Targetmasters.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
When the Autobots' [[Nebulan]] allies feared that the Decepticons were planning to attack the [[Nursery (Nebulos)|Nursery]], Crosshairs didn't care: he had already given away his gun to make peace with the Nebulans, so it's not like he could do anything about it. Instead, he suggested leaving Nebulos and traveling to [[Earth]], but was voted down and forced to go save the Nursery. There, he partnered up for the first time with a Nebulan alongside the other Targetmasters. Unfortunately, the ensuing battle just ended up destroying the place, so the Autobots retreated. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[File:Crosshairs worlds apart.jpg|thumb|Who are you calling yellow?]]
''Before leaving Nebulos, [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]], Crosshairs, and [[Pointblank]] were captured by Scorponok's Decepticons and word was leaked to their [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] comrades that it was because they were having trouble perfecting the Targetmaster process. However, when the Autobot Headmasters attempted to rescue them from the [[Fortress of Despair]], they found that the Targetmasters were merely bait and that it was the Headmasters Scorponok was interested in. Freed by [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]], the Autobot Targetmasters broke out their partners [[Peacemaker]], Pinpointer, and [[Spoilsport]], and turned the tide against their opponents.'' {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}

{{note|In the UK-produced "Worlds Apart", Crosshairs and Sureshot's colours are switched.}}

Crosshairs eventually ended up traveling to Earth like he wanted, though he remained aboard the ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'' while the Headmasters investigated the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s former crash site. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}} Along with the other Targetmasters, he went on to participate in a failed attack on the Decepticons' [[Club Con|island headquarters]]. {{storylink|The Desert Island of Space!}} He later watched [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] fight it out over Autobot leadership on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], but the duel was interrupted by a full-scale Decepticon assault on everyone present. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

When [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] took control of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] and went on a rampage within the Ark, he blasted Crosshairs. [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] later mentioned that three Autobots were deactivated by Thunderwing, and since Crosshairs was never seen again, it's possible he was one of the casualties. {{storylink|All Fall Down}}

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[File:Grimlock prime ark crew break-away.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Crosshairs was among the "new age" Autobots who attended [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s meeting with [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] and the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] about their more brutal methods. When Grimlock threatened to quit the Autobots, Prime seemed all too willing to let him, and the two of them actually came to blows. After beating some sense into each other, however, Optimus Prime agreed to allow Grimlock his autonomy, to lead "Earthforce" while he and the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s crew took off for space. {{storylink|Break-Away!}}

Crosshairs was stationed on Cybertron under the command of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]]. Warning his commander about the return of the errant [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], he formed part of a security detail alongside [[Dogfight (G1)|Dogfight]], [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]], [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]], and [[Override (G1)|Override]] to apprehend the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] and render him to the [[Bastion-five lock-up]] the ''hard'' way. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Two}}

[[File:Crosshairs grapple natural selection.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Grapple had a hard time recognizing Crosshairs without his [[mouthplate]].]]
Following the arrival of the resurrected [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] and the spread of his [[Gene Key]] amongst Cybertron's populace the situation rapidly worsened, leaving Crosshairs, [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]], [[Hosehead (G1)|Hosehead]] and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] as the only uninfected Autobots remaining. The group reconvened within the deserted Forum Senate, and thanks to Grapple's knowledge on the place's architecture, made their way to a secret passage which allowed them to bypass the chaos taking place outside. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Three}} Investigating a disturbance at the [[Nursery (Cybertron)|Nursery]], they arrived to find Grimlock and his [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] now firmly on their side against Scorponok. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}} Together, they stormed the [[Civil Defense Hub]] and retook it from [[Wingspan]] and [[Pounce]]. After the Dinobots left to confront Scorponok in the [[Sonic Canyons]], the Autobots discovered that the Hub's missile silos had been set to target the returning Autobot hypercruiser ''[[Valiant (G1)|Valiant]]'' and when the [[Clone (subgroup)|Clones]] hesitated in giving up the passkey, Crosshairs shot Wingspan at point blank range. Pounce immediately gave up the passkey and the ''Valiant'' was saved. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}}

When Cybertron came under attack from [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s ''[[Warworld]]'' and [[Blitz Engine]]s, Crosshairs joined [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]], Blurr, and [[Jazz (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Jazz]] on the front lines, fighting them off. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

His skills as a sharpshooter were employed when Rodimus Prime tasked him and [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] with covering his meeting with [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] at [[Eugenesis Plaza]], though the former Senator quickly spotted the snipers. He would later respond alongside Ultra Magnus when Jhiaxus's ''[[Primum Fugae]]'' began attacking the [[Demon]]s and Dinobots indiscriminately. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 2}} Rodimus Prime decided to take the fight to the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronians]] but Jhiaxus had anticipated their strategy and forced a surrender. Imprisoned in the [[Corral]] on the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]'s [[Throneworld]], Crosshairs was summarily executed alongside [[Joyride (G1)|Joyride]], [[Sky High (Pretender)|Sky High]] and [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] for being "contaminated by external species' innovations". {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}}

Crosshairs does quite the Ronald Reagan impression. Or maybe Jack Nicholson. He is very concerned with "the hubbub".

Crosshairs was among the group of Autobots in [[2007]] which pursued [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] into [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s depths and into the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. The group's shuttle was subsequently blasted across the cosmos, crash-landing on [[Nebulos]]. They were captured by the natives, and only got released when the Decepticons attacked. While several of his teammates were knocked out and captured in the subsequent battle, the completely undamaged Crosshairs just ''stood there'' while [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] grabbed him and flew off with him.

Seriously, he didn't even ''try'' to get away. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}}

[[File:Rebirth3-Crosshairstruck.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Hanging out with Year of the Horse Optimus Prime, as ya do.]]
Outnumbered, Crosshairs' friends created new Headmasters technology to rescue him and the others from the Decepticons. The 'Cons then countered with Headmaster and Targetmaster technologies, upping the arms race on Nebulos and stealing back the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber from the Autobots. Still, [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] managed to scan a Nebulan Targetmaster and duplicate the process, letting Crosshairs binary bond with a native sharpshooter named [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pinpointer]] as a Targetmaster himself. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

After returning to Cybertron, Crosshairs and the Targetmasters helped stop [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s plot to destroy Earth's sun, and ushered in a new Golden Age of Cybertron by recharging Vector Sigma with excess plasma energy. They then returned to Nebulos to clear the planet of the Hive's evil machines. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

They arrived on Earth shortly after the final defeat of [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] to join forces with [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] and his men. Fortress was in the midst of dealing with some planetary-level explosives left behind by the Decepticons, and so Crosshairs and his comrades went with Fortress aboard the Battleship Maximus to dispose of the bombs. Out in space, they had just reached a safe distance from Earth when they passed a refugee ship being attacked by the Decepticons. Crosshairs, Pointblank and [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]] went out onto the surface of the battleship to engage the enemy long enough for the refugees to get inside. The battle continued to rage outside until the refugees attempted to return the kind favor by removing the bombs to a safe distance themselves. The Decepticon sub-commander [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] flew out after them, and Crosshairs joined his comrades in pursuing them, right up until the plasma bombs exploded, bathing Autobot and Decepticon alike with tremendous energies. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

The [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s recovered the unconscious Crosshairs and his friends from space. Miraculously, the three Autobots had not only survived the explosion, each of them had also been fused to one of the Master refugees in a kind of symbiotic combination. The smaller Master robot known as [[Pinpointer (G1)|Pointech]] could now transform into a powerful weapon and affix himself to Crosshairs's hand, creating a Targetmaster. Pointblank and his men seemed cocky before, but their newfound power made them almost unbearable. Crosshairs and Sureshot had to get between Pointblank and the Headmasters when their leader simply would not shut up about how awesome he was. After the Autobots arrived on Master, [[Apeface]] and [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]] were triple-teamed by the new Targetmasters. Perhaps not considering the [[Horrorcon]]s worthy of their new powers, Crosshairs and the Targetmasters spent the whole battle unarmed and in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], and still royally smacked the chips out of the two Decepticons. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

Crosshairs continued to serve on Master with Pointblank and Fortress. He and his fellow Targetmasters were involved in the battle for data on the [[Master Sword]]. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} While in orbit around Master in the Battleship Maximus, the Targetmasters spotted [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] spying on them, and chased him and [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundblaster]] back to the planet's surface. Their pursuit was interrupted by the arrival of the Decepticon Targetmasters, who tried to eliminate the Autobots by blasting open a natural reservoir, washing Crosshairs and his friends away in a massive wave. The Targetmasters survived, however, and located the Decepticons' secret cavern base. They sent out their small partners to covertly investigate the base, but the loud and bolsterous arrival of [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and the Headmasters made stealth impossible, and so a battle was joined. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}

====''Legends'' comic====
During a battle with Scorponok in 2021, Crosshairs and the Targetmasters battled their Decepticon counterparts, who managed to take away their gun partners as part of a plan to forcibly bond with them during another plasma energy detonation. Instead, the explosion caused all the Targetmaster partners to disappear and infected everyone else with "[[blackball]]s", small [[black hole]]s that were shrinking their bodies until they would ultimately collapse in on themselves. Having no other choice, Crosshairs the other non-Headmasters agreed to have their heads removed and converted into Headmasters so they could leave their bodies behind. {{storylink|Headmaster Chapter Prologue}} {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} While one account saw Crosshairs accompanying the other Autobots to the [[Legends World]] in search of new bodies, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 21|Bonus Edition Vol. 21}} he and the other Targetmasters actually remained in their home universe to search for their lost partners. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} They eventually found them floating in space, only to find they had been supercharged with plasma energy and were emitting deadly doses of it. Before the trio could succumb to the energy, the Targetmaster partners suddenly vanished, whisked away to the Legends World by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}}

[[File:Stormbringer4 Crosshairs Autobots.jpg|left|thumb|"If you kids don't pipe down, I'll turn this Ark around, so help me, God!"]]
During the early years of the war, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] wanted to see a lineup and rollcall of all his newest warriors. [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]] thought this was stupid, but Crosshairs and a few other newbies showed up for this anyway. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 13#Old Ways|Old Ways}}

In the modern day, Crosshairs was stationed out of the [[Autobot Orbital Command Hub]] and was seen acting as navigator for the crew of the ''[[Ark-27]]''. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1|Stormbringer #1}} They transported Optimus Prime into battle with [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] on Cybertron {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}} and later brought him to Earth to follow up a lead on the Decepticons' resurrection and to investigate the why the Decepticon [[infiltration protocol|Infiltration unit]] there had assumed Siege Mode. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4|Stormbringer #4}}

Later, Crosshairs was with the rest of the ''Ark 27''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew as they worked to recover the heavily-damaged [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] after his battle with [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}} He was present on the Orbital Command Hub when [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] announced his return to the airwaves, and was one of the trusted Autobots [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] chose to help him apprehend the mind-controlled [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], who was programmed by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]] to kill Blaster. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

[[File:Chaos3-KimiaSurvivors.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|Bottom right. Yo.]]
Crosshairs also spent time as a weapons designer at the [[Kimia Facility]]. Whereas engineers like [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] specialized in the absurd and unbelievable, Crosshairs focused more on developing new guns and conventional weapons. Ten months before [[Operation: Retrieval]], he discovered [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] on the floor of his workshop, a victim of his own [[cerebro-sensitive bullet]]. {{storylink|Bullets}}

Alongside the rest of the Autobots at Kimia, Crosshairs was caught by surprise when [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]] invaded the facility. {{storylink|Chaos Part One: Lamentations|Lamentations}} He and several others managed to escape, and drifted in a cramped escape pod for some time until they were rescued by [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}} She told the survivors about [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s misguided plans to save the universe (which would actually destroy it), then brought them to Cybertron to put a stop to it. Crosshairs and the others bailed out of the ship before Arcee rammed it into the planet. {{storylink|Chaos Part Four: Genesis|Genesis}}

After the battle with Galvatron, Crosshairs joined the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' on its search for the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. When [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]] opened up [[Swerve's|his bar]], Crosshairs was present for the "Grand Secret Opening." {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}} Later on in the journey, he participated in a battle with some Decepticons on [[Temptoria]]. {{storylink|Before & After}}

In keeping with his mold-mate Ironhide's height in the Generation 1 cartoon, Crosshairs is a full head taller than the other Deluxe figures of the same line. His "W-35 LR Doomblast Forge Launcher," compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] and capable of converting into a large hammer, is colored to resemble Pinpointer. As with most ''Siege'' figures, Crosshairs features "battle damage" paint applications: in this case, on his lower shins, feet, and weapon. He also features multiple hardpoints all over his body and weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.
:Thankfully, this iteration of the Ironhide mold lacks the easily-popped-off panels on his shins.

:If one chooses, Crosshairs can be paired with [[Pinpointer (G1)#Legends|''Legends'' Pinpointer]].

==Notes==
[[File:Crosshairs-earlydesign1.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Cooler heads prevailed. Eventually, in 2019.]]
*Like the other new-for-1987 Targetmasters, the head design for Crosshairs was based on early design concepts,<ref>[https://twitter.com/miiakira2017/status/1026138541754003456 Early design art for Crosshairs from the designer's twitter feed]</ref> where he had one of the more unique [[mouthplate]] designs in G1. The toy gave him a more generic faced head, and his Japanese ''Headmasters'' model (and subsequent comic books over the years) stayed closer to the toy design.
*Along with many other Generation 1 characters, Crosshairs's animation model appeared as a generic Autobot in the ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|Transformers: Armada]]'' cartoon. Specifically, it's his Japanese model from ''The Headmasters'' cartoon.
*Crosshairs's voice in the American cartoon seems to be aiming for {{w|Clint Eastwood|Dirty Harry}}, but lands on an impersonation of [[President of the United States|Ronald Reagan]] instead.
*An almost-realized [[BotCon]] [[exclusive]] from [[Fun Publications]] was a redeco of [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|''Generations'' Sergeant Kup]] into Crosshairs, paired with a redeco of either [[Nightstick (G1)#Universe (2008)|''Universe'' Nightstick]] or an [[Arms Micron]] as Pinpointer.<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JesseWittenrich/status/843904312589930496 Tweet by Jesse Wittenrich, 2017/03/20]</ref>

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

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

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

{{bigquote|The humans are multiplying, please let me kill some.|Dropkick|''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Movies===
====''Bumblebee'' film====
{{voiceactor|[[Justin Theroux]] (English), [[Daiki Hamano]] (Japanese)|[[Darko Bozovic]] (European French), [[Marc-André Bélanger]] (Canadian French), [[Ramón Canals]] (Spain Spanish), [[Simone D'Andrea]] (Italian)}}

[[File:ShatterDropkickhologram.jpg|thumb|300px|Ha! Suck it [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]]! I got to be in a movie before you!]]
Dropkick was among the Decepticons under the command of [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in their conquest for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s absence. After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was attacked by [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]], Dropkick and the other Decepticons closed in to attack the Autobot leader. Following the apparent failure of the Autobot resistance effort, Dropkick was paired with [[Shatter]] and the two began hunting Autobots who escaped the planet.

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

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

[[File:BBmov-DropkickEntangled.jpg|left|thumb|300px|''SOME. DAY. Love will find you! BREAK. THOSE. Chains that bi-'' oh.]]

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

While Shatter was busy transmitting the message to Cybertron, Bumblebee appeared and opened fire on the radio tower, provoking Dropkick to engage the scout. During their fight, Bumblebee's [[Charlie Watson|human friend]] sneaked her way towards the radio tower. Once Bumblebee gained the upper hand, Dropkick assumed his helicopter mode only for his propeller to become ensnared in a discarded chain wielded by Bumblebee. Dropkick transformed into robot mode in a failed attempt to escape, which forced the chain to wind under his armor as his parts shifted between modes. He mocked Bumblebee's "little chains", but before he could finish the sentence, the Autobot yanked the chain ''hard'', dismembering him and rupturing his internals, causing him to explode; his burning, disembodied head landed beside the Autobot scout's feet. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}
{{note|Dropkick's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel "[[Transformers: Bumblebee: The Junior Novel]]".}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxes, Dropkick transforms from an officially-licensed {{w|Bell AH-1 SuperCobra}} attack helicopter to robot and back! Similar to [[Drift (AOE)#Toys|his fellow]] [[Shatter#Toys|triple changers]], he only transforms into ''two'' of his three modes. Dropkick's robot mode has knee accents to imitate car taillights and back "wings" to imitate car doors, but otherwise his car kibble in robot mode is missing, making this one of the less screen-accurate ''Studio Series'' toys. This could be one of the possible reasons for this toy becoming a Studio Series [[shelfwarmer]]. The figure comes with two guns and a cardboard backdrop display depicting an aerial dogfight scene from ''Bumblebee''.

:A post on his right arm prevents his tail kibble from folding as flat as on the other arm in robot mode.

His robot mode is based on his initial appearance in the film, where he had only a car mode after arriving on Earth. He comes with the gun he uses to liquefy humans in the film and a cardboard backdrop display of his and Shatter's arrival.

:It has been reported on multiple copies that due to a molding error on the mushroom peg, his right thigh swivel is difficult and in some instances, downright impossible to be used without popping his right leg off from the loose ball joint.

: In the [[3D Battle-Card Game]], Dropkick is on the Decepticon side.

He (it?) uses the same parts layout as Movie [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and Generation 1 [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] (or Movie [[Skids (Movie)|Skids]]).

==Notes==
*There has been no ''official'' word on whether or not ''Bumblebee'' Dropkick was inspired by the character from the 2007 movie toyline — but they're both blue-and-grey Decepticon grunts from the live-action movie continuity who grumble and moan about being on Earth, so for the purposes of the wiki we're considering them to be the same character. Dropkick's partner, Shatter, similarly seems to [[Shatter#Notes|share conceptual DNA]] with [[Fracture (Movie)|another 2007 movie character]], which lends some credence to the idea that the pair were at least partially inspired by those characters.
===2007 toyline===
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Dropkick, 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.
[[Image:DropkickWipers.jpg|thumb|right|100px|I'm angsty because my [[gimmick]] sucks.]]
* Dropkick's card art shows him with windshield wipers on his visor. They are probably to wipe away his tears.
* Dropkick appears on several covers for [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'' comic despite not actually appearing in the story itself.

* Even if briefly, Dropkick is one of the few Transformers from the live action film series who seems to have the ability of flight in robot mode.
* Dropkick's two main rotor blades split apart when he transforms into robot mode, making him look as though he has four main rotor blades despite only really having two.

'''Cliffjumper''' has a lot of toys. Although none of them are traitors, they're mostly red Bumblebees.

==Toys==
===The Transformers===
[[File:G1 Cliffjumper toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|For 28 years, this was his only toy that wasn't a Bumblebee redeco or retool.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984/1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''13'''

: Part of the original 1984 range of Autobot [[Mini Vehicle]]s, Cliffjumper began life as a ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' "MC-04 #01 {{w|Porsche 924}} Turbo", a [[super deformed]] "[[Choro-Q|Penny Racer]]"-style representation of the real car. Though broadly similar in construction to [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Bumblebee]] and commonly called a [[redeco]]/[[retool]] of him by fans, Cliffjumper is actually an entirely different mold that just uses the same [[transformation]] scheme. This confusion was not helped by the fact that both Cliffjumper and Bumblebee were released in both red and yellow during the first two years of the Generation 1 toyline; a move designed to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref>

: In 1984, Cliffjumper and the other Mini Vehicles came packaged in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]; in 1985, they were switched to come in [[robot mode]], a change preceded by the addition of a picture of their vehicle modes to the front of their cards. The same year, the Autobot [[insignia]] on Cliffjumper's roof/chest was replaced with a heat-activated [[rubsign]]. Later in 1985, Cliffjumper and the Mini-Vehicles came packaged with [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]].

: When he was released in Japan in 1985, "Cliff" came in a small box rather than a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol.

: Cliffjumper was also sold in several countries south of the US in a wide variety of colors, which are covered in individual entries below (simply to keep this entry from getting too cluttered).

: This mold was also used to make "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" [[Carrera (G1)|Carrera]], and was [[retool]]ed to make [[Hubcap (G1)#Generation 1|Hubcap]].

: A yellow version of the [[Microman|Microchange]] "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG" mold was also available packaged on Cliffjumper cards. As an entirely different mold, this toy was not regarded as a variant of Cliffjumper, but rather as a separate character that the fandom christened "[[Bumper (G1)#Toys|Bumper]]".

{{-}}{{anchor|LnFCJ}}
[[File:ListenNFun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Listen 'n Fun, 1985)

:Cliffjumper was packaged with an audio cassette featuring the story "[[Sun Raid (Listen 'n Fun)|Sun Raid]]" as part of Hasbro's multi-brand [[Listen 'n Fun]] subline. Most of the toys packaged with this cassette were the yellow variant mentioned above, but exceptions do exist (see photo at right). As the other known Listen 'n Fun releases—including [[Tripwire (G.I. Joe)|Tripwire]] for ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' and "Ember" for ''[[My Little Pony]]''—had ''intentional'' deco changes from their original releases, it is likely that Cliffjumper becoming yellow was intentional as well.

{{-}}{{anchor|Mexican}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Cliffjumper came in a wide variety of colors: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, white, and flat silver. The white and silver variations are especially notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

: It is ''possible'' that the two red-faced Cliffjumpers are actually IGA's version of [[Hubcap (G1)#Toys|Hubcap]]. In 1986, IGA released first-year Mini Vehicle molds in colors resembling their '86 Hasbro/Takara [[retool]]s on cards for those characters, and [[:File:ToyFair1986-TFpage01a-TailgateHubCap.jpg|early Hasbro production photos of Hubcap]] show him in white with a red face. Unfortunately, still-carded samples of these two variants have yet to surface and confirm this theory.

:(See why we didn't want all this in the first Cliffjumper entry? And we're not done yet...)

{{-}}{{anchor|EstrelaCarrera}}
[[File:G1toy gold carrera.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Cliffjumper was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar, "Carrera", and was initially available in two color schemes: his original red and black, and metallic gold and black, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests and a new sticker design on the back of the head. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released blue and white versions of Carrera sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Carrera is considered to be a [[Carrera (G1)|separate character]] from Cliffjumper.

::*''[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/mini_frame.php?art=goldcliff More information on gold Cliffjumper/Carrera at TF-1.com]

{{-}}{{anchor|AntexCarrera}}
[[File:AntexCarerra.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Carrera''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned white version of Carrera was released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, along with a new green redeco, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the green version have been found with different paper stickers: a large yellow one on his chest that also appears on some releases of [[Windcharger (G1)#Antex|"Camaro" (aka Windcharger)]], and the sticker on the back of the head being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s knees.

: The card photography shows both the red and golden versions of the toy, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was never sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Cliffjumper by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro red and yellow versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Cliffjumper is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, two different colorations have been confirmed: the original red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Cliffjumper all told, with the four others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

{{note|Peruvian company BASA (which eventually changed to HUDE) apparently also (briefly) sold ''Transformers'' in Peru, but these were straight imports of Hasbro Mini Vehicles with a company sticker applied to the packaging.}}

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[File:G1toy cliffjumper keychain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|He's protecting your keys from traitors.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Keychain Mini-Vehicle, 2001/2003/2007)

:Released in the US by [[Fun4All]] at the same time as [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Keychain|"keychain" Bumblebee]], this is a slight retooling of the first Cliffjumper toy, with an added loop to the back bumper for a keychain attachment.

: In 2003, Takara released all four of the keychain Minibots (Cliffjumper, Bumblebee, [[Windcharger (G1)#keychain|Windcharger]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys#keychain|Brawn]]) for the Japanese market in both their original decos, and in an [[exclusive]] all-black coloration. As the boxes are [[blindpacking|blind-packed boxes]], you don't know if you've got a black variant until you open 'er up. The black deco was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Black Cliff|an evil clone]] of Cliffjumper.

: Early in 2007, [[Hasbro]] re-released the "keychain" Mini-Vehicles for the US under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" sub-line, which popped up in stores like [[Walmart]], as well as smaller chains like the original releases.

:This version of the mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Tap-Out (Universe)#Toys|Tap-Out]].

===Alternators/Binaltech===
[[File:AlternatorsCliffjumperDesign.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cliffjumper'''
:One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with Cliffjumper as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese book, ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]''.

===Titanium Series===
[[File:Titanium bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Floating-head Cliffjumper.]]
*''' ''War Within'' Bumblebee''' (Cybertron Hero, unreleased)
**''Accessories:'' Unknown, likely display stand

:Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable ''[[Titanium Series]]'' Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His [[alternate mode]] was the saucer-like car seen in Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' series, which was based on Bumblebee's Cybetronian vehicle mode in the original cartoon. An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately, these never made it into production.

===Classics===
[[File:Classics Cliffjumper toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|[[:File:Bumblebeeheads.jpg|What goes around...]]]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2006/2007)
**''Accessories'': "Wave Crusher" trailer

:''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Cliffjumper is a red, silver, gray, and black [[redeco]] of the ''Classics'' Bumblebee toy, transforming into a small sports coupe of made-up model and towing a small trailer with a non-removable jet-ski. This "[[Wave Crusher]]" trailer/jet-ski transforms into a flight-pack that clips onto Cliffjumper's back. This figure was the first instance of redecoing a Bumblebee toy into Cliffjumper without producing a new head, instead simply recoloring the original Bumblebee head, which would become common procedure for Cliffjumper toys to follow.

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Timelines|Bug Bite]].

*'''Minibot Attack Team''' (Multi-pack, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-18'''

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Cliffjumper is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Bumblebee]], transforming into a modern hatchback of indeterminate (likely made-up) design. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly as, his [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section.

:During the set's initial reveal, the Legends Class Bumblebee toy was in his place (as a placeholder), causing some confusion that Takara will release another Bumblebee toy. And furthermore; Cliffjumper's stock photo features black tires instead of light grey, but it was amended in the packaging art.

: He was only available in a three-piece set with [[Brawn (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Brawn]] and the inappropriately-included [[Beachcomber (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Beachcomber]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "wave-functional pointer guns"
:Avoiding the straight redeco theme the first time, ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Cliffjumper is a [[retool]] of Bumblebee with a new head, transforming into a 1:32 scale Suzuki Swift, featuring die-cast metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. In robot mode, the figure can hold twin pistols that are normally stored in the legs, and features light-piped eyes.

===United===
[[File:Unitedtoy cliffjumper.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode''' (Deluxe, 2010-[[December 25|12-25]])
**''ID number'': '''UN03'''
**''Accessories'': "Energy gun"

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Cliffjumper is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]] [[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)#Toys|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Generations|Cliffjumper toy]], transforming into a round and compact "Cybertronian courier mode". He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either mode.

:This release features an extensive metallic red paint job (which almost looks magenta under certain lighting conditions) on the car mode panels, and on some of the robot mode's parts (such as the head and forearms), replaces the dark gray plastic of the Hasbro release with a lighter tone, and switches the transparent red paint on the wheels with a more opaque, metallic red. The rear portion of his roof features a more separated paint layout than the black paint of the ''Generations'' release, and the base panel his head is on features additional black paint, with both of these giving him a paint layout almost similar to Bumblebee's. In contrast to the final product, early photos of Cliffjumper showed him with pink flip out blades and details rather than yellow, while his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts the wheel coverings beside his feet as red instead of light gray.

:This mold was [[retool]]ed from ''Generations'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|Cybertronian Bumblebee]], which was redecoed into [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#United|''United'' Bumblebee Cybertron Mode]].

===Generations===
====GDO====
[[File:Generations china import deluxe cliffjumper.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Well, at least it's not a Bumblebee retool this time.]]
*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe, 2012)

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Cliffjumper is a retool and minor redeco of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#First Edition (2011)|Prime: First Edition]]'' [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Prime: First Edition|Cliffjumper]], having a new G1-styled head, replacing his red plastic and paint with a darker, metallic shade, and with lighter translucent blue plastic. He transforms into a muscle car that crossbreeds the rear of a Plymouth Barracuda with the front of a Dodge Challenger, and features flip-out triple-barreled blasters in each of his arms that can be swung out to replace his hands. He ''does'' have wrist articulation, but the plastic panels on the outer sides of his arms tend to get in the way, meaning his wrists can only easily rotate up to 90 degrees.

:Cliffjumper was originally only to be released as part of a big block of toys developed [[exclusive]]ly for release in China and other Hasbro Asia markets. However, [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] picked up Cliffjumper as part of a ''massive'' group of Transformers exclusives for U.S. market release, just in time for the 2012 holiday shopping season.

:Legends Class Cliffjumper is a redeco of ''Generations [[Thrilling 30]]'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]]. He comes with [[Suppressor (Generations)|Suppressor]], a redeco of ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GenerationsLegends|Optimus Prime]]'s partner [[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]], and an unchanged version of the [[ion blaster#Generations|ion blaster]] originally available with the aforementioned Optimus Prime figure.

:Hasbro's original [[Stock photography|stock photo]] for the figure depicting a hand-painted prototype shows Cliffjumper lacking the ion blaster. The weapon was erroneously depicted in the concurrently published stock photo for Cliffjumper's [[wave]]-mate [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]]/[[Spinister (G1)#Generations|Spinister]] two-pack. The card-backs of both two-packs feature edited versions of these photos, with the weapon moved from Nemesis Prime's hand to Cliffjumper's.

:After years of mostly being a Bumblebee redeco, ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise (toyline)|Earthrise]]'' Cliffjumper is an all-new cartoon-accurate mold (complete with accurate, non-Bumblebee head!). He transforms into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of his original Porsche 924 Turbo alt-mode, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}. He comes with a large cannon similar to one he briefly used in [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]], which can split into several smaller weapons. He also comes with a pair of vehicle-mode skis, based on an ability from the G1 episode [[Dinobot Island, Part 2]].

He comes with a translucent blue energon pistol, an alternate energon chest piece, and a buildable ATV to drive.

**''Accessories'': Rack, sniper cannon, bladed staff, blaster backpack, mini-wing backpack, spare hand

: Part of the second assortment of "Custom Kreons", Cliffjumper comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. The plastics of his torso, arms and legs have a metal-flake sheen, and his similarly-shiny [[tampograph]]s are lifted from [[Bumblebee (Kre-O)#Custom|Custom Kreon Bumblebee]], rather than being based on the [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Cliffjumper toy]]. His "normal" helmet and long rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable sniper-cannon (made with the aformentioned chrome rifle), a buildable double-bladed staff, buildable dual-blaster backpack, and the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]]-style wing-pack.

:He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "[[Kreon Class of 1984]]". Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

He springs up and [[Autotransformation|automatically transforms]] from a sports car into a robot armed with a pistol when his front bumper is pressed, and has a "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels. As a "Super Bot", he has more lopsided stats, and is cast in translucent red plastic.

:This version of the mold was later redecoed ''back'' into [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#BotShot3pack2|another version of Jump Shot Bumblebee]].

:Legion Class Cliffjumper is another redeco of ''Universe'' Legends Class Bumblebee, sporting the minor retool with additional pegs to secure the arms more tightly in vehicle mode first used for the 2012 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] "Dollar Store" release of the sculpt. Unusually for contemporary figures released as part of this assortment, the figure's deco is notably different from the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' version listed above: The gray plastic used for the legs, the crotch and the wheels is replaced with black, the paint operations on the insides of the arms are also changed from gray to black and expanded to cover a section left unpainted on the ''Henkei'' version, the front grille is left unpainted, and the windows are [[tampograph]]ed in a slightly different shade.<ref name="2014legion">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-feedback/1040835-classic-legion-cliffjumper.html Review of 2014 Legion Class Cliffjumper] at TFW2005, including a comparison with ''Henkei'' Cliff.</ref>

:Cliffjumper comes in packaging that is based on the packaging design for the concurrently released ''Combiner Wars''-era ''Generations'' figures, but replaces the name ''Generations'' with "Authentic Transformers". Since Cliffjumper and his [[wave]]-mates ship with three figures previously released under what we consider a generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|2014 ''Transformers'' toy line]], all of them now in the new packaging style, we consider Cliffjumper to be part of that line as well. The [[package art]] used for Cliffjumper is recolored from the package art of ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generations|Bumblebee]], an entirely different sculpt, and was previously also used (in its original colors) for the previous release of the Bumblebee figure this Cliffjumper is redecoed from.

:The wave that contains Cliffjumper has thus far been found at Fred's, Gordmans, Dollar General, and Family Dollar stores in the United States, but was available at general retail in Hong Kong and from Australian Target stores.

Alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: in addition to his traditional red and black, Cliffjumper is known to have been available in green and black, blue and black, blue and red, black and red, and cyan and black.

:Cliffjumper was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Cliffjumper was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Cliffjumper was available as part of a 9-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

**''Decoy number:'' '''28'''

:The Cliffjumper figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (28, in Cliffjumper's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

The sculpt features Cliffjumper holding the gun he was seen using in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". However, this version omits the stabilizing struts that were present in the episode.

:Part of the initial assortment of ''[[Tiny Titans]]'' [[blindpacking|blindpacks]], this version of Cliffjumper is a very small, minimally-painted soft-plastic figure of him aiming a ridiculously large blaster, calling back to the scene from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]".

: He includes a collectible card that, interestingly, renders him in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] styling. The card includes a scan-badge for the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (mobile game)|''Robots in Disguise'' mobile game]], which unlocks a random amount of Energon "currency" and a randomized bonus power-up item.

==Notes==
[[File:MicroChangePorsche.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*The ''[[Microman]]'' ''[[Micro Change]]'' toy that would become Cliffjumper was also available in light blue. To date, this deco has never been used in ''Transformers'' outside of Mexico.
*Though often a straight redeco of Bumblebee in non-Japanese countries, there has yet to be a Cliffjumper produced by TakaraTomy that is a straight redeco of the same line's Bumblebee.

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!

==Transformers (2007)==
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).

===Legends Class toys===

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]].

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

:In Asia, at least some units (often separated from Starscream) got dumped to Hobby Shop dealers and were sold at a lower price.

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:He resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]]. His alternate mode served as a basis for the [[Vok|Vok Novaroids]] for [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two]].

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

[[File:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a... gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Twin Blaster Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[August|8]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:All international versions came in the same packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation scheme]], this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile
:The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!

:The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]]'s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.

:This version was released in the UK several months before the ''AllSpark Power'' version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design. This version was also released by [[TakaraTomy]] in Japan.

:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.

:Another difference is that this version comes in an ''AllSpark Power''-style box instead of the original style.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"
:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

:[[Fast Action Battlers|Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe-class made for children of younger ages than the rest of the mainline and was designed to have quick conversion and action feature. He has a little string attached to his missile that was tied to his "backpack" for easy storage and so the little ones wouldn't lose the missile.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside_Optimus_Prime_(DOTM)#Dark_of_the_Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.

While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed kanji lettering.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie's design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]].

[[File:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises.

:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have. Meanwhile, the articulated fingers was later used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' & ''Movie The Best'' releases.

:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you're finished.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.

:The entire mold also became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simpified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this too.

To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime's appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]]'s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons.

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged.

:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

:He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime's head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they ''click'', making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime. However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

:This retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from Buster Optimus Prime and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted. He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the figure.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character's]] [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.

:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs' sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.

:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold. He features heatshield details in his sculpting and translucent solar panels on various parts of his body and huge gas tanks. Optimus himself is differently proportioned, having larger feet and a smaller torso and arms. He also features some [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-kibble/parts]]: His actual windshield chest is being covered by a sculpted panel featuring his characteristic deformed windshield-chest, and a pair of sculpted tires on his thighs. His pair of optics is designed to have a light-piping gimmick, but it was rendered useless since it was painted in smoke gray on top of the colorless transparent plastic.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] Ion Blaster that can convert into a "Battle Cannon". Like all of the MechTech Voyager class toys, this deployed form can lock into place. Specifically, the weapon must be pressed all the way in and rotated to lock it.

:In Japan, he was released as "Space Optimus Prime",

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA-03'''

:Release exclusively in Japan, This Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.

:He also has a new [[MechTech Ion blaster]] with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.

:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.

:The flame deco on Optimus' forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.

:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure's gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.

:This [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] redeco and retool of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]] [[#Voyager Class toys 3|"Battle Blades" Optimus Prime toy]] features the Japanese release's hooks (instead of swords), plus an all-new [[mouthplate]]-less, mouthed face.

This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic.

:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks' hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab's nose in vehicle mode.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.

:Optimus comes with a "bonus value" Deluxe Class toy, [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]]. The pair together cost a dollar less than a regular Voyager Class toy. It was also available at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany, with Comettor ''not'' highlighted as a "bonus" figure.

:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a "burning" color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piping eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.

:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle's long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms Mega Striker), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys R Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics, but batteries are not included.

:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn't as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime's gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime's shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime's own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button.

:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.

:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:''Bash Bots'' Optimus Prime is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below it's built-in stand.

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it's running, rather than just rolling.

:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.

:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate Edition, 2015)
**''Asia ID number:'' '''APS-01U'''
**Accessories: Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms Mega Striker), shield/battle shield, Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B, Knuckle, 2 Battle Blades, 2 Battle Hooks

:[[Asia Premium Series]] Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition is an extensive screen-accurate redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime (with a maskless head from Buster Optimus Prime), this figure features '''loads''' of accessories from the Striker & Jetwing figures, and includes brand-new knuckle and battle hooks based on the HFTD Optimus', which can be installed in either hand. The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts. The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver. When purchased from select retailers, this toy will also include a shiny metal number plate and a bonus mini [[AllSpark]] cube accessory. His instructions depict a weaponized mode which has some clearance issues, as his Gatling guns are shown attached to the Jetwing, which pushes against his arms. His Eliminator Gun and Assault Blaster cannot tab into the Gatling gun tightly either.

:Mold degradation is evident in this release, as the bumper of the vehicle mode is notably bent.

:''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' EZ Collection Optimus Prime is a redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Legends Class]] Optimus Prime toy, which color scheme is ''the same'' as (or probably a re-release of) his Victory of The Fallen 5-pack toy.

:''Chronicle'' "Movie Optimus Prime" is an e-Hobby exclusive redeco of the Deluxe-Class ''Dark of the Moon'' Optimus Prime figure, and comes in a two-pack with a reissue of the ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#G1MoviePrime|Optimus Prime figure]]. Instead of the blaster/axe MechTech weapon the original release of the figure came with, Prime is armed with a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Dark of the Moon|Jolt]]'s Blaster/Hand Cannon weapon.

:The set comes with a deluxe-scaled version of Prime's ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|trailer]], which is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set's case, it's so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]'s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the "laser" cage made to contain Optimus. (Yeah, we know Strafe appears way after Optimus ditched this look in the movie.)

**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

:This Kreon of Optimus Prime is very, very similar to both the "[[Galvatron Factory Battle]]" and the "[[Decepticon Replicator]]" Optimus Kreons. This one however has silver hands, a light smirk under his facemask, and lacks the clip-on smokestacks.

: This set was only available on [[June 28]] as part of a special promotion at ToysЯUs, given away free from noon to 2pm (roughly) as part of an in-store building event that coincided with the opening weekend of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' and the final day of a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on all ''Transformers'' product.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged.

: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)| Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). And the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in "15 easy steps." His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his Truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.
[[File:TF-AOE-FE-Optimus-Prime-individual-modes.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.</ref>

:Part of the first wave of TakaraTomy ''[[Movie Advanced Series|Lost Age: Movie Advanced]]'' toys, this Japanese-exclusive redeco of [[#Deluxe Class toys|2007 ''Transformers'' Protoform Optimus Prime]] is given a ''Generation 1''-styled color scheme (which is ''also'' based on his appearances in IDW's ''[[Transformers: Foundation]]'' comic-book mini-series). Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this was meant to represent his jetpack blast effect or his atmospheric entry heat effect, which is for no reason: entirely blue instead of hot red). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

**'''29 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword
:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure. The two-pack was exclusively available at Target stores in the United States, Canada, and Australia, at Tesco stores in the United Kingdom and Hungary and at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany. In Asia, most of the remaining stock is available in some hobby shops and some video stores like Speedy Video.

*'''Evasion Mode Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2014)
**''Series / Number:'' '''M4 / #001'''
**''Japanese Name'': '''Classic Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD02'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm as the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall. Due to the lack of molded trailer hitches, Evasion Mode Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity, albeit slightly lifted up.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime's previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes is neutered with opaque light blue paint. In terms of quality control, at least ''one'' sample has missing its silver paint on the head's left cheek.

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Vector Shield

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime's pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.

:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual_Energon_Swords#Dark_of_the_Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.

: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).

:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy's colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield's original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.<ref name="argos">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA01'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Wing Backpack/Battle Station, 2 Hound's guns, 2 Sword-Guns, 2 face-guns, Sword of Judgement

:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.
:Like Chomp & Stomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibble than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out...

:The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' leader class Optimus but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.

:Like the First Edition figure, Battle Command Optimus Prime's truck kibble can be detached from the robot mode figure to form his separate vehicle mode on its own, but there is '''one''' single sacrifice is needed to be made, so brace yourselves: you need to ''actually trim off the wires that activate its lights & sound gimmick in order to separate the kibble from the robot'', and unless you had intention for buying a second copy, good luck if you wanna risk your hard-earned cash for that.

:This Optimus Prime can tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it lets the wheels lift off the ground.

:Although usually sold in Japanese markets, some department stores in Asia had sold the set as well.

**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Released as part of TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Movie The Best]]'' toyline to conclude the 10th anniversary of the [[live-action film series]], this Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of his Evasion mode toy. He also uses the faceplated head and the dark gray-colored Ion Cannon used for the Evolution 2-pack/''Platinum Edition'' 5-pack release. While his deco had taken cues from both the TakaraTomy release of Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and the ''Platinum Edition'' Breakout Battle figure, the weathering pattern bears a similar resemblance to his rusty version of the figure. Unfortunately, this release suffers from ''heavy'' mold degradation, particularly in the form of ill-fitting tabs around the truck front/shoulder area.

:Like the rest of the ''Movie The Best'' figures, Optimus Prime is packaged in vehicle mode.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MPM-4'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[September 16]], 2017'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Cannon, 2 Energy Swords, Matrix of Leadership
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] Movie Series'' Optimus Prime is a brand new mold that transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|ROTF Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his Ion Cannon, and a pair of Energy Swords that tab in behind his wrists (the hands unfortunately have to be bent forward to accommodate these). All three weapons can combine and store on the fifth wheel in vehicle mode.

:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class Toys|Jetfire]].

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter gray as well as adding the missing paint apps shown on the box.

:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. When attempting to complete the cab assembly, it is advised to apply upward pressure on the front side barrels while pushing the cab downwards. A misassembly error is also present on all versions of the mold, where the roof hinges that connect the sides of the cabin are reversed.

:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

:This Optimus Prime is a ''minor'' redeco of the One-Step Changer figure, ''omitting'' the paint apps on the knees, the flames on his shoulders, and changing the robot mode chest's deco. Along with his wavemate Bumblebee, Optimus Prime loses his pin on his leg, which is used to activate Stomp & Chomp Grimlock's pop-out weapons and gimmicks. As with the first wave of the Turbo Changers, Optimus features a nearly invisible tampograph on his vehicle front, which can be revealed with [[Dragonstorm#MegaTurboChanger|Mega Turbo Changer Dragonstorm's]] UV-powered Cyberfire gimmick.

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Truck Mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some gold details.

Much like the normal-colors [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Bumblebee]], he was available in both Series 1 and 2 of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2017)

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further. It should be noted that his flame decals are ''painted over'' the side windows.

:The newly tooled legs also feature unreasonably long pegs to secure their connection in vehicle mode. They have a tendency to snap off over time, though this doesn't affect the toy too much.

:In 29th August to 29th September, the entire 1st wave of ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class figures that almost ''massively'' shelfwarmed in Malaysia's Toys"R"Us stores was sold as a giveaway item for the customers who purchased ''The Last Knight'' toys in a price of RM200 (approx $46) in a single receipt.

:This 2-pack release of Optimus Primes are redecoes of [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys|''Transformers'' (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]], and [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_2|''MechTech'' Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" new features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his "entry" mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his "headlights", and the top of his "entry" mode. Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_2|first Deluxe Class figure]], some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack's deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue. His MechTech weapon is cast in transparent orange plastic, with the exception of the scope/lever and the gun barrel, which remained opaque silver plastic due to being cast with unpaintable plastic. He also features Cyberglyphics on the left side of his vehicle mode front hood.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime is an all-new mold (with a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron_(Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo) based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His Sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

[[File:Shellformer_TLK.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Continuing the family [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#"First Edition"_toys|tradition.]]]]
:Like the larger ''First Edition'' figure, you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell, displaying both of his modes at once... albeit unlike the ''First Edition'' figure, this tweak could sacrifice the even stability between those two separated figures. Some of the pieces like the legs/rear wheels are particularly difficult to separate.

:This Optimus Prime ''can'' tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though he cannot turn left or right due to the gray trailer hitch slightly pressing against the trailer's landing gear joints, and it ''slightly'' lifts the trailer with the front-rear tires lifting off the ground. The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad_Barrel_Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.

:The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are ''slightly'' mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. At least a ''very small'' number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt which was probably intended for a later retool, but there is no news about this pretool being released in the future. This figure was also released in Toys R Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release.

:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.

His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an ''authentic tire piece'' from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also ''slightly'' mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode. Also, the fifth wheel hitch pieces seem to be missing on his robot mode stock photos.

:Remaining stock was sold through Hasbro Toy Shop.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield
:This redeco of the [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Voyager_Class_toys_4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime]] figure features a really unusual deco pattern consisting of red transparent tires, the vehicle front grill and fuel tanks (the fenders remained opaque red due to unpaintable plastic). Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the ''Generation 1'' toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.

:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other ''Reveal the Shield'' products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a "Toys"R"Us exclusive" sticker. Also, both his United States and Asian releases lack the "Reveal the Shield" logo the United Kingdom release has (but still feature the "Reveal hidden images" call-out).

:In May 2017, the figure was released as a lucky draw item by Coca-Cola, along with the limited edition cans, as part of the China's promotion for the movie. On the other hand, Shadow Spark Optimus Prime also became a ''massive'' shelfwarmer in several Asian Toys"R"Us stores.

His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were casted in colorless plastic. He also features some extra silver paint on his robot mode forehead, and his white-colored Autobot insignia is slightly tampographed on the left.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-15'''
**''Accessories'': Temenos Sword, Calibur Axe, Overshield/Fifth Wheel Hitch, Energon Sword (limited edition)

:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, who is a retool of the original ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, with the fifth wheel hitch now forming his handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode and an additional [[partsformer|partsforming]] gimmick to boot, although the shield still can be converted into a backpack like the original Leader Class mold do. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.

:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-15-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0/dp/B072FVY1SX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498192402&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=TLK+optimus#productDetails Amazon Japan's page], the included Energon Sword & Axe is also compatible with ''Movie the Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure.

:In an amusing (but glaring) example of poor quality control in a Takara product, the back of the packaging features a small amount of [[Engrish]], notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also mentions the elemental metal as the "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is used for the Aligned continuity family. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe is later redecoed into "Bronze Caliber Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan.

:Released as part of a new line called ''[[Transformers: Tribute]]'', Orion Pax is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' [[Kup_(G1)/toys#Titans_Return|Sergeant Kup]], and transforms from a red-and-blue Cybertronic pickup truck which is also an homage to <s>Generation 1 [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generation 1|Crosshairs]]'s vehicle mode </s> [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector's Edition|G1 Optimus's e-HOBBY toy]]. His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the ''Tribute'' line, we're putting it here. Continuing the tradition, the 2-pack was first released in some Asian countries like Taiwan without any prior announcement from Hasbro itself. A few months after the 2-pack's release, ''Tribute'' Optimus Prime & Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a ''The Last Knight'' ID number.

**''ID number'': '''05'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-05'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories'': Two [[Dual Energon Swords | Energon Sword]]s, "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes with a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords | Energon Sword]]s, which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck mode. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class figure with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the ''Studio Series'' figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the climatic forest battle from ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or sculpted thin panels.

:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. All releases of this mold cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], as the trailer hitch is placed too far forward. This mold cannot combine with [[Jetfire_(Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it ''can'' carry (but not combine with) Studio Series 44 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, changing the blades to be more translucent. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code "73461", whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as "80171".

:TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode is mistransformed on the right elbow: His forearm is bent ''back'' instead of the front.

**''ID number'': '''32'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-25'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 23]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': [[Ion blaster]], "Highway Showdown" backdrop
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' (though sold under the first ''Transformers'' film's branding) the ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance to his appearance in the first two movies]] and allow him to combine with ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he’s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.

:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes on Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or robot mode back. While Optimus can use the first mold's blades, the new backpack's design prevents the swords from being stored, and using the intended "underslung" grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. His Ion Blaster cannot be wielded by the first mold either, thanks to his narrow 5mm compatible hands. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first ''Transformers'' film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.

:As the front grills rely on the hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined to the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic with silver entirely painted on it, the painted tabs can chip off after many transformations, slightly breaking the front grill assembly apart, leaving a ''very small'' gap.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backwards. Speaking of misassembly, a small amount of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he's still in-package.

**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, "[[Golden Gate Bridge|San Francisco Bridge]]" backdrop
:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's final scene. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus' robot mode shares the same height as his other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus' design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled, or if the pressure is applied downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being involved in the transformation.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]] due to the still-too-far-forward hitch port. It can, however, hitch up properly with the ''Studio Series'' leader class trailer below, though the fifth wheel's 5mm hole isn't wide enough to properly connect with the 7mm hitching peg. Placing the peg in the hitch holds it loosely in place, which is fine for static posing but likely to fall off with play.

:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. He also comes with two cannons, an energon axe, a shield, an energon sword, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire_(Movie)#Studio_Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus' first SS-05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges in his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily-edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no official instructions on how to store the Ion Blaster and no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

:Released as part of the ''Bumblebee'' Energon Igniter's Speed Series line, this Optimus is a Legends/Legion-sized mold that transforms from robot into a Cab-over truck with the transformation scheme shared with the [[Transformers_(2010_toyline)|Transformers (2010)]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal The Shield'' Legends Class toy]], and he features 3mm compatible hands. Optimus' truck mode can also be attached with the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly, making him a fast-moving truck.

:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus' robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head. Unlike most Speed Series toys, he also shares a similar pivoting shoulder articulation from his ''Reveal the Shield'' counterpart, and his Energon Igniter port ends up under his right foot in robot mode rather than on his knee.

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!

==Transformers (2007)==
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).

===Legends Class toys===
[[File:Movie Legends Prime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shortening the smokestacks is good; [[For safety reasons|it makes the toy safer]]. But removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]].

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

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Allspark2pack|Starscream]]. The robot mode is mistransformed: his body is not collapsed down to the waist.

:In Asia, at least some units (often separated from Starscream) got dumped to Hobby Shop dealers and were sold at a lower price.

[[File:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:He resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]]. His alternate mode served as a basis for the [[Vok|Vok Novaroids]] for [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two]].

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

===Voyager Class toys===
[[File:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a... gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Twin Blaster Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[August|8]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:All international versions came in the same packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation scheme]], this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

:A single-packed version of the battle damaged Voyager Optimus Prime toy from the Sam's Club exclusive three-pack. Although the assortment number and the general packaging style (which are both the same also used for the [[Premium Series]] redecos of Voyager Class [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Premium|Autobot Ratchet]] and [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#VoyagerPremium|Megatron]]) seemed to indicate that this might be a Best Buy exclusive, it was later confirmed to be an "international market" exclusive. It was released in Hasbro's Southeast Asian markets, but was not available in the USA outside the Sam's Club three-pack.

As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a "doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result" sense. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#FreewayBrawl|Bonecrusher]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile
:The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!

:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.

:Another difference is that this version comes in an ''AllSpark Power''-style box instead of the original style.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside_Optimus_Prime_(DOTM)#Dark_of_the_Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.

While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed kanji lettering.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie's design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus's vehicle mode.

:Both Jet Power Optimus Prime and the accompanying redeco of Voyager-Class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#UniteMegatron|Megatron]] would have come with an issue of the [[Unite for the Universe issue 1|''Unite for the Universe'' comic book]], but due to the cancellation of both figures, the comics were eventually included with the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Movie Masterpiece]] releases of Leader-Class [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Starscream]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Masterpiece|Bumblebee]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises.

:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have. Meanwhile, the articulated fingers was later used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' & ''Movie The Best'' releases.

:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you're finished.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.

:The entire mold also became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simpified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this too.

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged.

:In mid 2010, this set was released in Australia. In early 2011, it was released in the Philippines. In late 2011, [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|this set]] was [[Rebranding|re-released]] in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[packaging]].

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

:He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime's head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they ''click'', making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime. However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2010)

:This retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from Buster Optimus Prime and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted. He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the figure.
:This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3mm clips/holes.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character's]] [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.

:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs' sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.

:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

As part of the set's lunar theme, reflections of stars are painted across his vehicle mode sides and on his windshield, with a sharp reflection of [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] in one of his windows. This time, his [[Matrix of Leadership]] is cast in orange plastic.

:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks' hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab's nose in vehicle mode.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|Mechtech trailer]], as the original mold has no trailer hitch to begin with.

:Optimus comes with a "bonus value" Deluxe Class toy, [[Comettor (DOTM)|Comettor]]. The pair together cost a dollar less than a regular Voyager Class toy. It was also available at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany, with Comettor ''not'' highlighted as a "bonus" figure.

:In [[Australia]], this release was available at [[Kmart]] for a considerably lower price than a regular Voyager Class toy.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA24'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Rifle/[[Cybertanium]] Battle Axe

:Fireburst Optimus Prime is a redeco of the standard ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime, sporting a darker shade of blue and a "burning" color scheme that includes replacing all translucent blue parts with translucent orange. Because of this, his light-piping eyes were neutered by opaque light blue paint.

:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle's long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.

*'''Striker Optimus''' (MechTech Leader, [[November 17]] 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms Mega Striker), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys R Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics, but batteries are not included.

:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn't as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

Among other deco changes, he features Generation 1-style trailer stripes on his Jetwing jet pack, Movie-style flame color gradient on his Gatling Cannons, and [[AllSpark Power]] blue paint on the mechanical detailing.

:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime's gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime's shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime's own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button.

:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.

:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it's running, rather than just rolling.

:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.

:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.

The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts.

**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets. In this specific set's case, it's so he can be grabbed by the buildable [[Strafe (AOE)#Kre-O|Strafe]]'s dino-claws, once Strafe uses said claws to open up the "laser" cage made to contain Optimus. (Yeah, we know Strafe appears way after Optimus ditched this look in the movie.)

:Available only in the [[Transformers: Universal Studios|Universal Studios]] theme park [[exclusive]] box set of Kreons, this version of "movie" Optimus is based on his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)| Revenge of the Fallen]]'' incarnation, as that's how he appears in "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" and as a mascot character on the park grounds.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged.

: Where the other park-exclusive ''Transformers'' toys can be purchased through Universal's online store, the Kreon 4-Pack is ''only'' available at the park proper at the time of this writing. So uh, good luck.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)| Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). And the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

: Unfortunately, the Mini-Con Combiners apparently never saw release anywhere.

:Another redeco of Deluxe-Class ''Dark of the Moon'' Prime, this release uses a darker grey, a less magenta-y red, and less gold on the front end. Included is the trailer originally available with the ''Chronicle'' release. The trailer holds up to seven MechTech or similar 5mm peg accessories. Four holes are located on the top-front end of the trailer, with another three inside. The door also folds down to become a ramp, and the inside of the trailer is big enough for several Legion or Commander Cyberverse toys, or one smaller-end Deluxe figure. Two [[C joint]] bars also run along the bottom of both sides.

:Unlike both the Walmart exclusive Deluxe figure and the Japanese release, no weapon accessories are included.

:Amusingly, the packaging still showcases 3 canceled Movie Trilogy Series Deluxe class toys.

He shares a similar (not identical) transformation with his fellow One-Step changer, Hound. Also, due to his transformation scheme, his shoulders can be pushed forward (the arms is pushed on the same time), which also allows him to wield a close ranged weapons with longer handles with both hands.

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in "15 easy steps." His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his Truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.
[[File:TF-AOE-FE-Optimus-Prime-individual-modes.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.</ref>

Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this was meant to represent his jetpack blast effect or his atmospheric entry heat effect, which is for no reason: entirely blue instead of hot red). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

**''Accessories:'' Sword
:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure. The two-pack was exclusively available at Target stores in the United States, Canada, and Australia, at Tesco stores in the United Kingdom and Hungary and at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany. In Asia, most of the remaining stock is available in some hobby shops and some video stores like Speedy Video.

**''Series / Number:'' '''M4 / #001'''
**''Japanese Name'': '''Classic Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD02'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm as the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall. Due to the lack of molded trailer hitches, Evasion Mode Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity, albeit slightly lifted up.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime's previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes is neutered with opaque light blue paint.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD01'''

**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Vector Shield

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime's pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.

:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual_Energon_Swords#Dark_of_the_Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.

: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).

:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy's colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield's original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.<ref name="argos">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA01'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Wing Backpack/Battle Station, 2 Hound's guns, 2 Sword-Guns, 2 face-guns, Sword of Judgement

:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.
:Like Chomp & Stomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibble than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out...

:The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' leader class Optimus but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.

:Like the First Edition figure, Battle Command Optimus Prime's truck kibble can be detached from the robot mode figure to form his separate vehicle mode on its own, but there is '''one''' single sacrifice is needed to be made, so brace yourselves: you need to ''actually trim off the wires that activate its lights & sound gimmick in order to separate the kibble from the robot'', and unless you had intention for buying a second copy, good luck if you wanna risk your hard-earned cash for that.

:This Optimus Prime can tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it lets the wheels lift off the ground.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ([[2017]])
**''ID number:'' '''MPM-4'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MPM-4'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''[[September 16]], 2017'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Cannon, 2 Energy Swords, Matrix of Leadership
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] Movie Series'' Optimus Prime is a brand new mold that transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|ROTF Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his Ion Cannon, and a pair of Energy Swords that tab in behind his wrists (the hands unfortunately have to be bent forward to accommodate these). All three weapons can combine and store on the fifth wheel in vehicle mode.

:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class Toys|Jetfire]].

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter gray as well as adding the missing paint apps shown on the box.

:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. When attempting to complete the cab assembly, it is advised to apply upward pressure on the front side barrels while pushing the cab downwards. A misassembly error is also present on all versions of the mold, where the roof hinges that connect the sides of the cabin are reversed.

:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

:This Optimus Prime is a ''minor'' redeco of the One-Step Changer figure, ''omitting'' the paint apps on the knees, the flames on his shoulders, and changing the robot mode chest's deco. Along with his wavemate Bumblebee, Optimus Prime loses his pin on his leg, which is used to activate Stomp & Chomp Grimlock's pop-out weapons and gimmicks. As with the first wave of the Turbo Changers, Optimus features a nearly invisible tampograph on his vehicle front, which can be revealed with [[Dragonstorm#MegaTurboChanger|Mega Turbo Changer Dragonstorm's]] UV-powered Cyberfire gimmick.

:In 2019, the toy was given away free for the school kids who attended the [https://art.parco.jp/parcomuseum/detail/?id=168 ”The World Of Transformers” Exhibition] held at the Parco Museum in Ikebukuro from March 15th to Monday, April 1st, 2019.

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Truck Mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some gold details.

He features ball-jointed shoulders and hands that are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other 3mm post accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle-mode tires do not spin, sorry.

:Being only an inch and three quarters half, he is the second smallest transformable movie version of Optimus Prime around, only losing the first spot to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|Q-Transformers]] version. Much like the normal-colors [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Bumblebee]], he was available in both Series 1 and 2 of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2017)

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further. It should be noted that his flame decals are ''painted over'' the side windows.

:The newly tooled legs also feature unreasonably long pegs to secure their connection in vehicle mode. They have a tendency to snap off over time, though this doesn't affect the toy too much.

:In 29th August to 29th September, the entire 1st wave of ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class figures that almost ''massively'' shelfwarmed in Malaysia's Toys"R"Us stores was sold as a giveaway item for the customers who purchased ''The Last Knight'' toys in a price of RM200 (approx $46) in a single receipt. Optimus is one of the four.

*'''Optimus Prime 2-Pack''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe, Gun/missile/flame attachment

:This 2-pack release of Optimus Primes are redecoes of [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys|''Transformers'' (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]], and [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_2|''MechTech'' Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" new features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his "entry" mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his "headlights", and the top of his "entry" mode. Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_2|first Deluxe Class figure]], some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack's deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue. His MechTech weapon is cast in transparent orange plastic, with the exception of the scope/lever and the gun barrel, which remained opaque silver plastic due to being cast with unpaintable plastic. He also features Cyberglyphics on the left side of his vehicle mode front hood.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime is an all-new mold (with a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron_(Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo) based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His Sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

[[File:Shellformer_TLK.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Continuing the family [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#"First Edition"_toys|tradition.]]]]
:Like the larger ''First Edition'' figure, you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell, displaying both of his modes at once... albeit unlike the ''First Edition'' figure, this tweak could sacrifice the even stability between those two separated figures. Some of the pieces like the legs/rear wheels are particularly difficult to separate.

:This Optimus Prime ''can'' tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though he cannot turn left or right due to the gray trailer hitch slightly pressing against the trailer's landing gear joints, and it ''slightly'' lifts the trailer with the front-rear tires lifting off the ground. The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad_Barrel_Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.

:The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are ''slightly'' mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. At least a ''very small'' number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt which was probably intended for a later retool, but there is no news about this pretool being released in the future. This figure was also released in Toys R Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release.

:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.

The figure's deco is unchanged from the standard release, but he now has weathered battle damage paint all over him (yes, this includes applying to unpaintable plastic). In addition, the bright yellow paint is applied onto the blade.

:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items in an expensive price, given away along with a similarly 'battle-damaged' redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]].

His eyes and sword are also painted metallic purple, but his shield is completely unpainted for some reason.

:Dark Optimus Prime could be purchased along with advance tickets for ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' via movie cards from June 25, 2017, on the Omni7 website, and from September 29, 2017, if the item was purchased without advance tickets.

:The ''San Diego Comic-Con 2017'' exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the ''Premier Edition'' figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest's deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue 'collar', as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an ''authentic tire piece'' from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.).

According to [https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-15-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0/dp/B072FVY1SX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498192402&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=TLK+optimus#productDetails Amazon Japan's page], the included Energon Sword & Axe is also compatible with ''Movie the Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure.

:In an amusing (but glaring) example of poor quality control in a Takara product, the back of the packaging features a small amount of [[Engrish]], notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also mentions the elemental metal as the "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is used for the Aligned continuity family. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe is later redecoed into "Bronze Caliber Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan.

:Released as part of a new line called ''[[Transformers: Tribute]]'', Orion Pax is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' [[Kup_(G1)/toys#Titans_Return|Sergeant Kup]], and transforms from a red-and-blue Cybertronic pickup truck which is also an homage to <s>Generation 1 [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generation 1|Crosshairs]]'s vehicle mode </s> [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector's Edition|G1 Optimus's e-HOBBY toy]]. His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the ''Tribute'' line, we're putting it here. Continuing the tradition, the 2-pack was first released in some Asian countries like Taiwan without any prior announcement from Hasbro itself. A few months after the 2-pack's release, ''Tribute'' Optimus Prime & Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a ''The Last Knight'' ID number.

**''ID number'': '''05'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-05'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories'': Two [[Dual Energon Swords | Energon Sword]]s, "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes with a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords | Energon Sword]]s, which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck mode. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class figure with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the ''Studio Series'' figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the climatic forest battle from ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or sculpted thin panels.

:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. All releases of this mold cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], as the trailer hitch is too far than normal. This mold cannot combine with [[Jetfire_(Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it ''can'' carry (but not combine with) Studio Series 44 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, changing the blades to be more translucent. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code "73461", whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as "80171".

:TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode is mistransformed on the right elbow: His forearm is bent ''back'' instead of the front.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2019)
**''ID number'': '''32'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-25'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 23]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': [[Ion blaster]], "Highway Showdown" backdrop
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' (though sold under the first ''Transformers'' film's branding) the ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance to his appearance in the first two movies]] and allow him to combine with ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he’s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.

:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes on Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or robot mode back. While Optimus can use the first mold's blades, the new backpack's design prevents the swords from being stored, and using the intended "underslung" grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. His Ion Blaster cannot be wielded by the first mold either, thanks to his narrow 5mm compatible hands. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first ''Transformers'' film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.

:As the front grills rely on the hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined to the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic with silver entirely painted on it, the painted tabs can chip off after many transformations, slightly breaking the front grill assembly apart, leaving a ''very small'' gap.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backwards. Speaking of misassembly, a small amount of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he's still in-package.

**''ID number'': '''38'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-30'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, "[[Golden Gate Bridge|San Francisco Bridge]]" backdrop
:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's final scene. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee. As an unadvertised feature, the Ion Blaster can be stored underneath the rear legs in truck mode. Note that this feature was not intended by the designers and is completely fan-made.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus' robot mode shares the same height as his other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus' design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled (combined with a tight joint) and with the pressure applying downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being used with transformation.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]] due to the distant hitch port, though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity. It can, however, hitch up properly with the ''Studio Series'' leader class trailer below, though the fifth wheel's 5mm hole isn't wide enough to properly connect with the 7mm hitching peg. Placing the peg in the hitch holds it loosely in place, which is fine for static posing but likely to fall off with play.

:This toy is one of the items that is released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box.<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref>

**''Accessories'': Trailer/[[Armored Weapons Platform]]/Omega Combat Armor, 2 cannons, [[Energon-axe]], [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], Shield, Ion blaster, abs piece, "Battle of Chicago" backdrop
:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. He also comes with two cannons, an energon axe, a shield, an energon sword, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire_(Movie)#Studio_Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus' first SS-05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges in his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily-edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no official instructions on how to store the Ion Blaster and no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

Optimus' truck mode can also be attached with the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly, making him a fast-moving truck.

:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus' robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head.

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a film series that made billions of dollars. Woohoo!

==Transformers (2007)==
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader).

===Legends Class toys===
[[File:Movie Legends Prime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Shortening the smokestacks is good; [[For safety reasons|it makes the toy safer]]. But removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in [[robot mode]]. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[ball joint]]s. He can also hold small weapons, such as [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]].

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

*'''Generations Legends''' (Target exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A [[Target]] [[exclusive]], this four-pack of Legends Class figures contains two versions of both Optimus Prime and Megatron, namely [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Transformers (2007)|Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime]], Movie Legends Optimus Prime, [[Megatron (Armada)/toys#Transformers (2007)|Legends of Cybertron Megatron]] and [[Megatron (Movie)/toys|Movie Legends Megatron]].

*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Allspark2pack|Starscream]]. The robot mode is mistransformed: his body is not collapsed down to the waist.

:In Asia, at least some units (often separated from Starscream) got dumped to Hobby Shop dealers and were sold at a lower price.

[[File:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:He resembles previous Optimus characters in robot mode: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth, with an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble saying "Exclusive movie poster!". It is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Prima|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]]. His alternate mode served as a basis for the [[Vok|Vok Novaroids]] for [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two]].

*'''Protoform Optimus Prime Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, missile, flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[e-HOBBY]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

Released in 2008, only 5 pieces were made, making it one of the rarest Lucky Draw figures; the images at right represent the only known photographs of it.

===Voyager Class toys===
[[File:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a... gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Twin Blaster Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2007]]-[[August|8]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable [[Peter Cullen|cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine]] that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg onto his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

: This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

:All international versions came in the same packaging, but lacked the "Only at Target" sticker.

*'''Gold Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:A gold-chromed version of the Voyager Optimus Prime toy was available as part of the same Lucky Draw contest as the Golden Protoform Optimus (see above) in the December 2007 issue of ''TV Magazine''. Limited to only 3 pieces, it is insanely rare. The photographed sample here features a chromed truck grill, while a boxed unit has an unchromed grey grill; the owners of both pieces, the Mapes Brothers of [http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/ Transformers @ The Moon], believe both are genuine TakaraTomy toys, so it unsure if the one with the chromed grill is a testshot or a production variant.

*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the [[transformation scheme]], this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:A single-packed version of the battle damaged Voyager Optimus Prime toy from the Sam's Club exclusive three-pack. Although the assortment number and the general packaging style (which are both the same also used for the [[Premium Series]] redecos of Voyager Class [[Ratchet (Movie)/toys#Premium|Autobot Ratchet]] and [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#VoyagerPremium|Megatron]]) seemed to indicate that this might be a Best Buy exclusive, it was later confirmed to be an "international market" exclusive. It was released in Hasbro's Southeast Asian markets, but was not available in the USA outside the Sam's Club three-pack.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A second Target-exclusive redeco of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the gray molded pieces were recolored beige-grey, and multiple parts that were previously molded in blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped, with extra [[paint operation]]s to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the sculpt, in a "doing things differently to achieve a very similar end result" sense. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)#FreewayBrawl|Bonecrusher]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile
:The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His [[Ion blaster]] weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel hitch is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

:Featuring a complex transformation, the front and back ends of the truck essentially fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

:Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints, and ankles. His hands even have individually articulated fingers and thumbs!

:The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]]'s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.

:This version was released in the UK several months before the ''AllSpark Power'' version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design. This version was also released by [[TakaraTomy]] in Japan.

:The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.

*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"
:The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a [[retool]] and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is... unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners, and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

:Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment. The instructions still depicts the original Leader Class mold's head.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"
:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: [[Cyber Slammers]] Optimus Prime is an amazingly cute truck that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode. Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie! Like most Cyber Slammers, Prime manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan]]ning Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

[[File:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy. It should be noted that he was molded in only one paintable plastic color, with red and blue deco patterns decked on it. The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: Compared to the final product, stock photos of the figure loses blue paint operations on his knee armor. This mold was also used to make [[Darkside_Optimus_Prime_(DOTM)#Dark_of_the_Moon|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

: During the [[May 30]] launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event. Optimus also saw release as a blindpacked figure for the first wave of the Revenge of the Fallen EZ Collection sets. And like all the first waves, he comes with a flyer advertising the TakaraTomy releases of the Revenge of the Fallen toyline. His pair of legs is also mistranformed to fit in the bubble.

:[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#EZScanning|Like]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys 2|some]] [[Sideswipe_(Movie)#Cyberverse|other]] [[Jazz (Movie)#LegendsVsBonecrusher|Legends]]/[[Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Cyberverse|Legion Class]] toys, several of the loose units were dumped in some Hobby Shop dealers in Asia, although this one is very likely to be an identical [[knockoff|high-quality clone]] of the toy. While the paint applications are pretty much identical to the real deal, the pegs on the legs/trunk front can be a little too tight when attached. in some worst cases; it can break off if attempted to pull off by force.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot [[insignia|logo]] on the side of the truck's bunk, and kanji (Chinese characters) on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General", while "大将" means "Grand general". The beige-gray plastic used for this toy is similar to his Screen Battles toy, only with a slightly reddish hue.

:The Japanese version of the toy, named "Optimus Prime Revenge Edition", was exclusively available at Tokyo Toy Show 2009, and later also from [[e-HOBBY]]. Despite being sold in Hasbro packaging like the mass retail ''Revenge'' toys in Japan (plus the addition of Japanese stickers marking it as a Japanese market release and containing Japanese safety warnings and manufacturer information), it slightly differed from the Hasbro version insofar as it lacked the [[tampograph]]ed kanji lettering.

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Unite for the Universe|Unite for the Universe]]'' Optimus Prime would have been a redeco of the 2007 Optimus Prime Voyager-Class mold in a similar style to the Leader-Class Buster Optimus Prime (see below), with a much more accurate and detailed paint scheme, including white stenciled flames. He would have come with a set of [[Jetfire (Movie)#Voyager Class toys|Jetfire]] armour parts to form the powered-up Optimus Prime seen at end of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', and due to not having to form Jetfire's robot mode or his jet mode, the armour parts are far more accurate to the movie's design of them than the leader class Jetfire toy could manage. While not combined to Optimus Prime, the armour can be arranged to form a sort of weapon emplacement mode or a jet engine on the back of Optimus's vehicle mode.

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

:Towering at only barely over two inches, this was actually not just the smallest movie-verse Optimus but even the smallest transformable figure of Optimus Prime for a while - ironically enough, being even slightly tinier than the [[Smallest Transforming Transformers]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] - that is, until he was later "out-tinied" by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|two]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Tiny Turbo Changers|other]] cute super deformed versions.

===Leader Class toys===
[[File:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime.

:Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises.

:Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable.

:One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy.

:Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[File:ROTF Leader Jetfire PowerUpPrime toy.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Who's your daddy? He is.]]
:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] to form Jetpower Optimus Prime by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have. Meanwhile, the articulated fingers was later used for the ''Asia Premium Series'' & ''Movie The Best'' releases.

:As a result of striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime ends up being ridiculously complex. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Very unfortunately, the [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps, making transformation even ''harder''. Also, let us not forget that, upon transforming him back to robot mode, he will declare his identity over and over and over and over and over until you're finished.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release. This version can also attach [[Energon star]]s.

:The entire mold also became a victim of [[Knockoff|counterfeiting]], ranging from upscaled (and sometimes simpified) molds to high-quality clones. Several of his redecoes/retools below also suffers from this too.

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market-[[exclusive]] Leader Class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (Movie)#JetfireBuster|Jetfire]] and a slightly altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but unlike the standalone Buster Prime, has a head with a faceplate, itself containing more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

:Despite the fact that this is a TakaraTomy release, this version ''doesn't'' use the improved version of Optimus' [[instructions]], using instead the original (and less helpful) version.

This release of Buster Optimus Prime was susceptible to a paint scraping issue on the silver painted slide-out barrel of his blaster. This problem was fixed for the [[#DOTMJetfireBuster|DOTM Re-release]] by relocating the silver paint app from the barrel to the inside wall of an exposed gas tank that had been previously left as unpainted grey plastic. The black paint app on the barrel was left unchanged.

*'''The Victory of The Fallen''' (Kmart Exclusive Legends 5-pack, 2010)

:Optimus Prime is a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime with predominately red forearms and red/silver thighs, which it was meant to be a ''Generation 1''-inspired deco. He comes bundled with redecos of [[The Fallen#Transformers (2010)|The Fallen]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys 3|Megatron]], [[Jetfire (Movie)#Legends Class toys 2|Jetfire]], and [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys 3|Starscream]] in a [[Kmart]]-exclusive five-pack. To date, this is the only Hasbro release of this figure that acknowledges the combining feature between Jetfire and Optimus Prime.

:This redeco is also re-released as part of the ''Chronicle'' EZ Collection lineup. ([[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Chronicle|See below]].)

*'''Optimus Prime''' (EZ Collection, 2010)

:This Japanese exclusive release of Optimus Prime features much more black coloring than the previous releases, and it's (coincidentally) based on the Fast Action Battlers Power Armor Optimus Prime toy, so as to be used with the similarly-repainted Legends Jetfire figure to form the Optimus' powered up combination. For some reason, he has red eyes. This redeco also uses the slightly small fuel tank/elbow tabs from the Battle Damaged release.

*'''Battle Blades Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Matrix of Leadership, 2 Fuel Tank-Gun assemblies, removable Energon Swords

:Battle Blades Optimus Prime is a brand new sculpt that attempts to replicate his Leader Class design. He is much more movie accurate than the previous Voyager incarnations. He features two [[Dual Energon Swords|energon swords]] made of soft plastic, similar to his Leader Class incarnation, albeit not spring-loaded. They can be detached from the mushroom joints they're on, although doing this excessively may cause them to warp.

:He also has a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] in his chest which is made of unpainted gray plastic. In an awesome homage, the Movie matrix rests on a stand molded to look like its G1 incarnation.

:His fuel tanks can also separate from the truck panels and become two [[barrage cannon]]s. Oddly enough, these guns are mentioned nowhere on the box even though they would normally be a selling point.

:The [[instructions]] neglect to mention that the entire roof of the cab is on a concealed hinge which greatly eases the difficulty of Prime's transformation. For whatever reason, the instructions treat the toy as if the hinge does not exist, going so far as to show Prime's head magically clipping through his chest to transform. The instructions also neglect to mention that his heel/bumper pieces must be slid out until they ''click'', making the figure just that bit more stable, and that the rotating truck door panels on his upper arms can be pulled further out (but not off) from their sockets, allowing more space for the panels to swing around his hood-arms during transformation.

:The TakaraTomy "Autobot Alliance" release of this toy has some significant differences, including casting the red plastic in a darker shade, making his shin and wheel joints grey rather than Hasbro's bronze, painting the Matrix of Leadership silver, and swapping out the dual energon swords for battle hooks, similar to 2010's Leader Class Optimus Prime. However, due to the Japanese release retaining the Hasbro packaging, the box still advertises the dual energon swords rather than the hooks. He retains the masked face used for the Hasbro release.

:This mold was also used to make ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Darkside Optimus Prime (DOTM)|Darkside Optimus Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2010)

:This retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime features the head from Buster Optimus Prime and has had his blades replaced with semi-articulated Battle Hooks for face-destroying action! He has a darker paint job and sports black splotches on his body and head to signify battle damage. However, due to these extra "battle damage" paint applications, some other paint applications that were present on the Revenge of the Fallen release were omitted. He also sports a new voice box in robot mode, replacing the infamous "I am Optimus Prime!" with "We must stop the Decepticons!" The international release, however, retains the same abbreviated "Optimus Prime" sound clip as the original release. To the annoyance of many fans, this version was the main version released just about ''anywhere'' outside the United States (all of Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). The box also mentions racing sounds, which may or may not be referring to the button-activated diesel engine noises carried over from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' version of the figure.
:This version uses the TakaraTomy version of the instructions, which improved upon the original Leader-Class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

:Like his EZ Collection Real brethren, Optimus Prime comes with two different variants: The "Real Color" features a flat shade on the plastic colors and paint, while the "Metallic Color" features metallic paint and plastic instead.

:Released as part of the first wave of the [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class figures, this Optimus Prime is a roughly Scout-sized figure.He comes with a jetpack that can combine with both his truck and robot modes. The jetpack attaches via [[C joint]] clips, and the jetpack can transform in and out of a winged configuration when Optimus is in truck mode. Optimus himself features C joint bars for his smokestacks and trailer hitch, as well as bars on the top of his headache rack, while his hands and jetpack can hold/mount his rifles via C joint-related 3mm clips/holes.

He comes packaged with a pair of {{w|Anaglyph image|Anaglyph}} 3-D glasses for use on the transformers.com website, but they cannot be used to view 3D movies in cinemas.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe

:Exclusive to [[Walmart]], this Deluxe Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, close in scale to Voyager Class [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|Megatron]]. He has a high range of motion, with ball jointed shoulders and hips, swivels at the neck, knees, and feet, and double swivels in the elbows. As a result of the transformation process, he can also rotate at the waist, though this is hindered considerably by his "backpack" [[kibble]]. This can be remedied by pointing the truck nose downward, as it is in the packaging. Optimus Prime also features the spring loaded "Automorph" feature in his head, if the truck kibble pushes the small grey switch from his back before splitting the chest into half. And due to how close the head of the faceplate and the front unpaintable piece is, Optimus' "nose" section has a tendency to chip off after many transformations.

:Optimus Prime features a [[MechTech]] Blaster that can convert into an Energon Battle Axe reminiscent of the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 character's]] [[Energon-axe|iconic weapon]], though the weapon cannot be locked in battle axe mode. There is also a pair of C joint rods on the underside of both forearms. His MechTech blaster can plug into the port on each of his arms or be held in either hand in robot mode, or plug into one of two holes on his truck roof/robot shoulders.

:After step 5, the instructions did not mention that you should fold back the shoulder panels to form the sleeper part until the 11th step. Care must be taken while transforming the legs: the small peg located on the lower leg can be snapped off due to the peg being slightly thick to accommodate with the hole. Also, take note that Optimus Prime cannot wield 5mm weapons with longer posts, as the way that his pinky finger is molded prevents the post from pegging down through his hands. Also, take note that the legs' sculpted small rectangle peg (the one that locks the robot mode legs in place) is prone to warping if care is not taken during transformation.

:The hand-painted prototype photos from both the packaging and the instructions shows that Prime had long smokestacks, but it was shortened for safety reasons in the final product.

:His MechTech weapon was redecoed from [[Mudflap (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Mudflap]]'s weapon. This figure is currently being sold in Universal theme parks in new packaging based on the ride. He is advertised as a Universal Studios Exclusive, despite having no visible changes from his original widespread release.

:Release exclusively in Japan, This Optimus Prime is a [[retool]] of the figure above, removing the heat shield and solar panels, as well as replacing any rocket booster parts (such as his heels) and gas tanks with normal truck parts. His light-piping eyes are painted in translucent light blue.

:He also has a new [[MechTech Ion blaster]] with a flip-out [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], and like all Voyager Class MechTech weapons, it can lock into place by latching one of the levers to the body of the gun.

:His MechTech [[Armored Weapons Platform#Voyager Class toys|trailer]] opens up much like Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (as well as being able to stand up to harken back to the Generation 1 [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]]'s upright mode), includes storage for many MechTech weapons inside and out, and is able to transport up to two Deluxe class (or one smaller Voyager) Autobots.

:The flame deco on Optimus' forearm parts (hidden by the wheels) are flipped in the stock photos, which is present in the vehicle mode. The updated version of the photo (seen in the packaging) features the correct deco. Meanwhile, all of the stock photos of the Ion Blaster/Energy Blade (sans the extra step instruction) depicts the blade as a painted opaque piece.

:The instructions also depict his fuel tank assemblies being positioned like the first figure's gas tanks, though you can swivel them frontwards for a better appearance, as seen in the stock photo.

:This exclusive has a peculiar and common error in that the arm hooks' hubs stick out farther than they should, causing a gap that runs down the middle of the cab's nose in vehicle mode.

:He comes with a MechTech rifle that converts into a large battle axe, and can be locked in by pulling the lever all the way in and tilting it into a gap to the left. The rifle has a separate flip-out handle, while the axe uses the rifle's long barrel as the handle, meaning that Optimus can grip the axe with both of his hands. This weapon was also retooled in a running change, adding a stop to the handle instead of relying solely on the gear system to prevent the locking assembly from flying off into parts unknown.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA28'''
**''Accessories:'' Eliminator Gun & Assault Blaster (forms Mega Striker), shield/battle shield

: Labeled as a "[[Triple Changer]]", Striker Optimus is a redeco and retool of ''Dark of the Moon'' Supreme Class Jetwing Optimus Prime, with new weapons. The base figure has most of the same mold changes as Jetwing Optimus Prime (see below), but has been altered further; in particular, the transforming smokestacks and fuel tanks/ion blaster parts have been replaced with retooled regular tanks that now function as mounts for the new accessories. The colors on the toy are darker than Jetwing Optimus, with a different flame deco that extends farther along the sides of the toy. Additionally, two new 5mm holes have been added to the gray hinge behind the cab in order to accommodate the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys R Us Japan]]-exclusive battle blade accessories. The "I am Optimus Prime" saying of Buster Optimus Prime has also been replaced with the "We must stop the Decepticons!" saying of 2010 ''Transformers'' Optimus Prime, although batteries are not included.

:He comes with a shield with a fold-out handle, allowing Optimus to hold onto it with either hand in robot mode. It has a simple transformation gimmick for vehicle mode which is activated by pressing a button at the top of the shield, causing the sides to spring outwards. In vehicle mode, the shield can be laid flat across the bed of the truck, attaching via a post on the back onto the truck’s trailer hitch. Alternatively, the bumpers on the shield can be rotated outwards, and the front can be bent down in order to form a new front end and hood for "battle vehicle mode", resembling the [[Stealth Force]] vehicle modes seen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

:The figure also comes with two gun accessories, the "Eliminator Gun" and "Assault Blaster", which combine into the "Mega Striker", a rifle that closely resembles the one used in ''Dark of the Moon''. The separate guns also have a MechTech-style transformation, and pulling a lever transforms them into alternate crossbow-like shapes. In "battle vehicle mode", the sides of the truck are rotated up, and the guns can be attached by small pegs to holes in the modified smokestacks, or they can plugged into any of the standard connection points with their [[5mm post]]s... except the ones on the hinge behind the cab, since those are supposed to be for his Energon battle blades.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his new rifle in its combined mode for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Due to the remolding of the smokestacks, Striker Optimus cannot use the Jetwing pack in robot mode.

The DOTM packaging release of this 2-pack features an altered paint application on Optimus Prime's ion blaster/barrage cannon. On the original ROTF packaging release, the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster is painted silver with a black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is left as unpainted grey plastic (exactly like the blaster on the original single-boxed ROTF Buster Optimus Prime). After receiving numerous reports from customers that the silver paint on the slide-out barrel was easily scraped off by merely transforming it from gas tank to blaster, Takara-Tomy briefly stated in an interview that they had addressed the issue for the Dark of the Moon packaged version by swapping the placement of the silver paint application. Thus, the Dark of the Moon packaged version now features the slide-out barrel on Prime's blaster as unpainted grey plastic with an unchanged black paint spray app to simulate usage of the weapon, and the exposed inside wall of the gas tank at the top of the blaster is now painted silver.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA15'''
**''Accessories:'' Tank A & Tank B (forms Ion Blaster), Jetwing jet pack, Arm Gatling Cannon A & B, Leg Armor A & B

:Jetwing Optimus Prime is a retool of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class Buster Optimus Prime, with an accompanying large jet pack and massive dual Gatling Cannons. The base Optimus Prime figure has several modifications including: a new stomach area and elbow flares to reflect the changes to Optimus Prime's CG model in ''Dark of the Moon'', modified lower arms to incorporate MechTech ports and clips for the cannons, and a retooled area under his back so the jet pack can fit on more securely. The dual energon blades mounted on his arms have been removed. The toy retains Buster Optimus Prime's electronics, but batteries are not included.

:The Jetwing jet pack attaches onto Optimus Prime via a part that hooks onto one of the hinges behind his neck, and a spring-loaded clamp that latches onto a recessed area under Optimus' back. The fuel tanks that form Optimus' Ion Blaster must be removed for this mode, and they can be stored inside the engines for the jet pack. The Jetwing can be used on previous Leader Optimus Primes from ''Revenge of the Fallen'' onwards, but due to the lack modifications seen in Jetwing Optimus Prime, the combination isn't as stable. The jet pack features four MechTech ports on the main wing articulation points, and two [[C joint]] mounting points on each wing. The Gatling Cannons both feature two MechTech ports and 2 C joint mounts on either side of each cannon.

:The design of the Jetwing jet pack and its cannons were based upon earlier concept art for Optimus Prime's flight tech for ''Dark of the Moon'', and as such are not accurate to how his equipment appears in the movie itself.

:As with all Japanese ''Dark of the Moon'' releases, this set comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

:Jetwing Optimus Prime was available for early purchase in Japan at the International Tokyo Toy Show 2011 (held at Tokyo Bic Sight) on [[June 18]] to [[June 19|19]], shortly before its wide release in July.

:However, the toy was available in [[Australia]] a week before the Tokyo Toy Show, packaged in translated English packaging and instructions by Tomy Asia.

Among other deco changes, he features Generation 1-style trailer stripes on his Jetwing jet pack, Movie-style flame color gradient on his Gatling Cannons, and [[AllSpark Power]] blue paint on the mechanical detailing.

:The box seems to have been created rather hastily from the Japanese original. It is roughly identical to the Tomy release, but with the Japanese text edited out... mostly. Random Japanese text remains floating in space on the top of the back panel and underneath the "Jetwing Optimus Prime" name on the front. Curiously, the left flap has been rewritten to eliminate mention of [[NEST]] and the jetpack's ability to detach, while the right flap has been (badly) edited to remove all mentions of [[MechTech]].

{{anchor|UltimatePrime}}
[[File:DOTM UltimateOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|Truck forearms of '''DOOM'''!]]
*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime''' (MechTech Ultimate, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA32'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Omega Combat Armor, MechTech Ultimax Super Cannon

:Billed on his packaging as "BIGGEST Optimus Prime Toy!", Ultimate Optimus Prime consists of an articulated tractor-trailer. The cab can transform into a "normal" Optimus Prime on its own, roughly equivalent to a Voyager in size and complexity, though with a lower degree of screen-accuracy than most large Optimus toys. Prime has 5mm fist holes, as well as additional 5mm ports on his front wheel wells and both sets of external fuel tanks. Four of these remain available in robot mode. The trailer has twelve more 5mm ports. Despite this, the toy comes with no weapons scaled such that the cab-only robot can usefully wield them.

:The real selling point of the toy, however, is the colossal Omega Combat Armor. [[Armored Weapons Platform#Ultimate|Optimus' trailer]] transforms into nearly two feet of limb extensions, armor, and wings. The armor remains completely integrated (except for the Ultimax Super Cannon) during transformation, with no [[Partformer|partsforming]], although this renders the final power-up robot mode somewhat limited in articulation, having no leg articulation whatsoever aside from swinging the hips out slightly and twisting at the ankles for maximum stability. The armor adds six more 5mm ports of dubious utility around the feet, retains the four from the cab robot and the eight from the trailer (on the backs of the wings), and has his own pair of 5mm fist holes. In trailer mode, it can support itself using folding blue landing gear, although the attached ball-jointed struts make it somewhat less than realistic.

:The centerpiece of the power-up robot mode is Prime's gigantic Ultimax Super Cannon, an electronic light-and-sound weapon the size and mass of a Deluxe figure. The whole cannon attaches to a special socket slightly behind Prime's shoulders, can store on the back or flip over to be gripped in both fists in armor mode, or stored upside-down underneath the trailer in truck mode. When pointed forward, the cannon has a larger helmet styled after Prime's own with a large translucent face shield featuring a painted targeting system. The weapon has three electronic modes: each of two small buttons plays its own weapon-firing noise and flashes one set of lights, while the large pull-switch in the cannon's center plays the sounds of a powerful barrage, flashing both sets of lights and (every third time) finishing off with the declaration "I am Optimus Prime". The Ultimax Super Cannon also has two of its own 5mm ports for even more MechTech firepower. When mounted on his back, the Cannon has two hook-like sections that securely lock into the "backpack", allowing the Ultimax weapon to serve as a handle for Optimus' imaginary "flight" operations.

:Although the trailer is made exclusively for the cab with which it comes, it is scaled much more closely to and can be pulled by Optimus Prime's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader class iteration.

:In Japan, Ultimate Optimus Prime comes with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:As with other Dark of the Moon Activators toys, this Optimus Prime (released under the [[Robo Power]] subline) is a very simple one-step transformation toy. You simply slam him down on the big blue button on the back end of his truck mode and he transforms thanks to spring-loaded mechanisms. To transform him back, just slam him down again on the same blue button.

:Shockingly, he actually has arm articulation! Swivels at his shoulders allow you to rotate his arms 360 degrees! Go little Prime! Unfortunately, because his big blue button sits right under his feet, his robot mode is a little unstable when it comes to standing.

:Prime was packaged in vehicle mode on an open, bubble-less card and tied down with twist-ties around the body of his truck form so that he couldn't be transformed in package.

:''Bash Bots'' Optimus Prime is a small, rock-em-sock-em-styled toy that transforms from a super-deformed truck into a robot by pulling or pushing the lever below it's built-in stand. He & his stand can connect with any Bash Bots to fight with, especially the included Starscream (instead of his nemesis Megatron).

====Go-Bots====
[[File:DOTMGoBotsOptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|woobwoobwoobwoobwoob]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
:[[Robo Power#Go-Bots|Go-Bot]]s Optimus Prime is built around the same pull-back and auto-transform mechanisms as all the ''Dark of the Moon'' Go-Bots toys. Prime's pull-back motor can be used in either robot or vehicle mode.

:In robot mode, the motor gimmick really comes to the fore—his head, shoulders, and legs move in time with his forward movement. His legs pump up and down, his shoulders pump up and down, and his head rocks side-to-side. This gives the toy the illusion that it's running, rather than just rolling.

:The other gimmick for Prime is his auto-transform gimmick. From truck mode, push him down on his back bumper and his bonnet automatically folds back and his arms automatically pop out. He needs to be transformed back manually.

:In robot mode, Go-Bots Optimus Prime has a limited swivel joint for head articulation, and while he has other movable joints, all of them are spring-loaded and unable to hold a pose.

:The first release in the Asian-exclusive ''[[Asia Premium Series]]'' toyline is an extensive redeco of the previously-Japanese exclusive [[#Leader Class toys 4|Striker Optimus]]. He features a comprehensive paint scheme directly based on [[#JetfireBuster|Jetpower Optimus Prime]], with blue pinstriped flames, lots of silver paint, and [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallized]] parts, although his hands are left unpainted in favor of painting his mirrors silver. Along with his standard accessories, he also comes with 2 battle blades, which were previously exclusive to Toys"R"Us Japan. He features the "We must stop the Decepticons!" voice chip, but batteries are not included. Rather helpfully, his instructions are supplemented with text instructions written in English for all the steps, as well as the additional photographs used for the previous Striker Optimus toy.

:[[Asia Premium Series]] Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition is an extensive screen-accurate redeco of Jetwing Optimus Prime (with a maskless head from Buster Optimus Prime), this figure features '''loads''' of accessories from the Striker & Jetwing figures, and includes brand-new knuckle and battle hooks based on the HFTD Optimus', which can be installed in either hand. The figure lacks the chrome of previous releases, instead opting for silver paint. The pin-striping is also absent, but he does have painted pupils. The figure also features 2-2-1 articulated fingers, which the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|first Leader Class]] did not have due to budget cuts. The ion cannon included lacks the black paint application, leaving it completely silver. When purchased from select retailers, this toy will also include a shiny metal number plate and a bonus mini [[AllSpark]] cube accessory. His instructions depict a weaponized mode which has some clearance issues, as his Gatling guns are shown attached to the Jetwing, which pushes against his arms. His Eliminator Gun and Assault Blaster cannot tab into the Gatling gun tightly either.

Instead of the blaster/axe MechTech weapon the original release of the figure came with, Prime is armed with a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Dark of the Moon|Jolt]]'s Blaster/Hand Cannon weapon.

**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 Optimus]]), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

He has a ferrous-metal backpack, which is used to interact with the magnetic parts in the various sets.

: In 2015, a new run of the set was produced, this time using the revamped-from-the-head-down 2015-style Kreon bodies. Optimus's [[tampograph]]s are slightly sharper, with thinner black outlines, but are otherwise unchanged.

: One of the Mini-Con limb-bots (Soundwave helmet) is based on the original movie version of Optimus. The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)| Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet).

*'''First Edition Optimus Prime''' (2014)
**'''14 OF 30'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Sentinel Shield

: First Edition Optimus Prime is, as his title suggests, the first toy available to the public from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toy line]]. Prime is an all-new Leader Class-sized figure, featuring his new Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck vehicle mode and his updated robot mode from the film (well, mostly based on his initial design rather than the final design in the movie). His transformation is much simpler than his counterparts from the previous three movie lines, being billed as transforming in "15 easy steps." His torso, shoulders, upper legs, and the vehicle mode grill are all completely chromed with the exception of minor blue and red details painted on his chest. However, this comes at the expense of his smokestacks and wheels being bare gray plastic, whereas they are chromed in the film. His simplified transformation also comes at the expense of having a very bulky "backpack" of [[kibble]] composed of the rear of the truck cab and the fuel tanks, limiting his shoulder and hip [[articulation]]. However, his Truck [[kibble]] can be detached from the main figure to form the majority of his vehicle mode on its own.
[[File:TF-AOE-FE-Optimus-Prime-individual-modes.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]

:He includes the Sword of Judgment and Sentinel Shield accessories, which he can respectively wield and mount on his left forearm, all via a 5mm post. In truck mode, the sword is stored underneath, while the shield mounts onto the trailer hitch. The sword also features a [[5mm post]] on its hilt. Interestingly, the truck mode is able to pull G1 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:He was only available as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive in the United States, but was also released at brick and mortar retails in Australia and Hasbro's Asian markets, such as Singapore. Oddly enough, even though the official press release for the figure identifies it as "14 of 30" in Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30#30 exclusive toys|Thrilling 30]]'' campaign, the [[packaging]] does not sport any such markings.<ref name="fepress">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/Transformers-Movie-4-Optimus-Prime-Action-Figure-First-Edition.cfm Official Hasbro press release for ''Age of Extinction'' First Edition Optimus Prime]</ref> To complicate matters further, a later retrospective by Hasbro on Facebook identifies ''another'' product as "14 of 30", which doesn't sport any such markings on its packaging ''either''.<ref name="retro">[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/743925055677691 Habro Thrilling 30 retrospective] on Facebook, mirrored [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/hasbro-transformers-30th-anniversary-thrilling-30-exclusives-retrospective-gallery-181598/ here] on TFW2005.</ref>

Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. His now-blue flame decoration piece fits the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail (Not sure if this was meant to represent his jetpack blast effect or his atmospheric entry heat effect, which is for no reason: entirely blue instead of hot red). The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces.

:A redeco of the ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class toy, this Optimus Prime has large portions of his body, mostly his truck parts, vacuum metalized silver, and his light-piped eyes were neutered by blue paint. He comes with a redeco of Generation 1 [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]]'s sword, which can be wielded by his 5mm-compatible hands (Although not shown in the instructions). As his body, legs, and front truck kibble were chromed, care must be taken while transforming, ''especially'' with the shoulder kibble & the bottom leg's posts (This can be amended if you slightly widen the holes with 3mm hand drills). As with the original ''Dark of the Moon'' Deluxe Class figure, the instructions did not mention about forming the sleeper part until step 10, the pinky finger prevented the sword to peg down through his hands, and of course: his truck mode can attach with the Armored Weapons Platform included in the ''Chronicle'' or the ''Movie Trilogy Series'' figure. This figure has slightly loose shoulder joints.

:This figure was only available in a two-pack with a Voyager Class [[Grimlock (AOE)#Target2Pack|Grimlock]] figure. The two-pack was exclusively available at Target stores in the United States, Canada, and Australia, at Tesco stores in the United Kingdom and Hungary and at Galeria Kaufhof department stores in Germany. In Asia, most of the remaining stock is available in some hobby shops and some video stores like Speedy Video.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD02'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion cannon, projectile/nozzle

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, "Evasion Mode Optimus Prime" is an all-new figure based on the character's initial form in the film, transforming from a cab-over semi-truck into a robot mostly similar to his previous movie design. The truck mode is heavily based on Generation 1 Optimus Prime's White Freightliner WFT alt mode in both sculpt and deco, although it draws a few details, such as the singular smokestack and wheel designs, from the heavily faded Marmon 97 seen on-screen. In robot mode, he sports faux-kibble windows and, amusingly, ''two'' false smokestacks. Unfortunately, due to the way his arms transform, he lacks actual elbow joints, which makes the lower forearm as the only poseable section. Optimus can wield weapons with longer posts while his hands are in a "default" 90° position. Also, while you transform him back to truck mode, his hands must be in the same sideways position to ensure the truck kibble is properly flushed.

:Optimus includes a spring-loaded missile firing "ion cannon" modeled after Megatron's shotgun from ''Dark of the Moon'', with the missile features a sculpted shotgun nozzle on the front section. It can be held in his hand or attached to the top of the truck cab or truck bed via 5mm post, and, in an unadvertised feature, sports tabs on the rear-most handle that allow the [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys 4|''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager Class Megatron toy]] to wield it.

:In time-honored tradition, Prime's instructions depict the toy with an alternate "[[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|pretooled]]" head – in this case, a version with the faceplate deployed, used on the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' and "Rusty" releases of the figure (see below). Additionally, his [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him with extra white/silver [[Paint operation|paint detail]]s, especially on his chest and wheel rims, as well as having gray upper arms with red details, among other differences.

:Despite his relatively small truck mode (which is almost as small as a Deluxe class toy, but slightly larger than his ''Generation 1'' toy's truck) he is quite tall. Due to the lack of molded trailer hitches, Evasion Mode Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity, albeit slightly lifted up.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' toys, is dubbed "Classic Optimus Prime", and opts for a deco closer to Prime's previous on-screen appearances, omitting the blue paint on his feet and hands to reveal the gray plastic underneath, and adding new paint details all over. Instead of painting it in clear light blue, his light-piping eyes is neutered with opaque light blue paint. In terms of quality control, at least ''one'' sample has missing its silver paint on the head's left cheek.

:The faceplated version of the mold was used to make [[Nemesis Prime (AOE)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2014)
**''Series / Number:'' '''M4 / #001'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD01'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword of Judgment, Vector Shield

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this is yet ''another'' completely new "big" Optimus Prime figure. While smaller than the First Edition toy, this one features more silver and chrome paint in vehicle mode, a more poseable robot mode, and a Vector Shield accessory instead of the Sentinel Shield. Unlike the First Edition figure, Leader Class Optimus Prime's pauldrons and hip-skirts are formed from truck kibble, giving him a marginally smaller backpack. His accessories have roughly the same functionality as the First Edition toy, with his sword being hand-held and pegged onto his hands or storing underneath the truck, and his shield mounting onto his left forearm or storing on the back of the truck. Additionally, the sword sheath underneath the truck can be folded up and used in robot mode.

:It should be noted that this Optimus Prime can accommodate the [[Dual_Energon_Swords#Dark_of_the_Moon|Battle Blade]] accessories to recreate the scene of him fighting against Galvatron.

: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).

:Apparently, early plans for the shield were to have it colored gold and silver, but it was later changed to gray and red. When a hand-painted [[prototype]] of the toy was first displayed at the 2013 New York Comic Con, the shield was colored yellow and silver; in addition, the original versions of the official Hasbro [[stock photography|stock photos]] also depict the gold color, but the versions featured on the back of the toy's [[packaging]] were edited so they would accurately depict the final toy's colors for the shield. Meanwhile, the versions of the stock photos provided to websites and online retailers depict the shield in its final colors for the robot mode, whereas the vehicle mode photo is the unedited version featuring the shield's original colors. Furthermore, UK-based retailer Argos also featured unedited versions of the stock photos for both modes in one of its catalogs, causing some confusion among fans.<ref name="argos">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/991761-uk-getting-different-leader-decos-optimus-yellow-vector-shield.html TFW2005 thread] about outdated stock photos used in Argos catalog.</ref> Sometimes, the spring loaded "[[Automorph Technology|Automorph]]" feature in his head is too strong and causes the head to fly off...

:The [[TakaraTomy]] version, part of the first wave of ''Lost Age: Movie Advanced'' toys, features numerous silver paint details, and alters the deco on his chest to be more screen-accurate, among many other changes. This figure's Vector Shield accessory is later redecoed as the "Golden Vector Shield", as the giveaway item for the 2nd ''The Last Knight'' Campaign in Japan.

*'''Battle Command Optimus Prime''' ([[July 19|07-19]][[2014|-2014]]/4-[[2018]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA01'''
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Wing Backpack/Battle Station, 2 Hound's guns, 2 Sword-Guns, 2 face-guns, Sword of Judgement

:A roughly Voyager-sized mold of Optimus Prime. He transforms into a Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck as seen in the film, in ''4 steps'':
::1. Press 2 buttons on the truck steps make the side panels pop out in position.
::2. Fold down the front section to transform it's robot mode legs.
::3. Fold back the rear parts to form the kibble.
::4. Position the arms into place, and Optimus will announce "Transform!", with a classic transformation sound effect.
:Like Chomp & Stomp Grimlock, his truck kibble from the back can accommodate One-Steps and Power Battlers (Both Hasbro and TakaraTomy), activating his various voice clips and flashing lights by interacting with the magnets in their feet. He is notably less kibble than other AOE Optimus Primes...from the front, at least. The back and sides are not so promising with large chunks of Western Star truck kibble hanging off his legs, making him look as if he's wearing a petticoat. At least the jetpack helps balance the whole thing out...

:The Sword of Judgement included with this toy is the same mold as the weapon included with the ''Age of Extinction'' leader class Optimus but cast in flat grey rubbery plastic rather than the transparent plastic and paint operations of the initial release. This Optimus Prime erroneously features blue paint on his feet instead of the screen-accurate red.

:Like the First Edition figure, Battle Command Optimus Prime's truck kibble can be detached from the robot mode figure to form his separate vehicle mode on its own, but there is '''one''' single sacrifice is needed to be made, so brace yourselves: you need to ''actually trim off the wires that activate its lights & sound gimmick in order to separate the kibble from the robot'', and unless you had intention for buying a second copy, good luck if you wanna risk your hard-earned cash for that.

:This Optimus Prime can tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though it lets the wheels lift off the ground.

He also uses the faceplated head and the dark gray-colored Ion Cannon used for the Evolution 2-pack/''Platinum Edition'' 5-pack release. While his deco had taken cues from both the TakaraTomy release of Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and the ''Platinum Edition'' Breakout Battle figure, the weathering pattern bears a similar resemblance to his rusty version of the figure.

**''Accessories'': Ion Cannon, 2 Energy Swords, Matrix of Leadership
:Released to conclude the 10th Anniversary of the live-action film series, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] Movie Series'' Optimus Prime is a brand new mold that transforms from a 25 cm-tall robot (a little taller than MP-10 [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|Convoy]]) resembling how the character appeared in the first live action movie into a <s>Kenworth W900</s> modified Peterbilt 379, in 43 steps, with many of the engineering cues being distinctively based and improved on the [[#Leader_Class_toys_2|ROTF Leader Class mold]].

:The figure has diecast in its feet, shins, and abdomen. It features pinstriped flames, articulated fingers, a headsculpt with a face that can rotate between masked and unmasked modes in a method identical to Armor Knight Optimus Prime's, and an abdomen that opens to reveal a chamber housing a diecast Matrix of Leadership. He comes with said Matrix, his Ion Cannon, and a pair of Energy Swords that tab in behind his wrists (the hands unfortunately have to be bent forward to accommodate these). All three weapons can combine and store on the fifth wheel in vehicle mode.

:Though the figure does a much better job of conveying the on-screen character model than the ROTF Leader Class mold did, there are still a few inaccuracies—most notably the forearm and shoulder pad designs and the head/torso proportions. The final product also lacks certain paint details visible in stock and packaging imagery, such as the blue rings on his feet and the gold on his pelvis. It should be noted that this mold does not combine with [[Jetfire (Movie)#Leader Class Toys|Jetfire]].

:The TakaraTomy release replaces the dark gray plastic on the Hasbro version with lighter gray as well as adding the missing paint apps shown on the box.

:In addition, it is very difficult, if not impossible for the vehicle mode to tab together properly. The entire cab assembly breaks apart very easily as the tabs lack sufficient friction to keep it together, resulting in either a gap forming between the front windows and the hood or part of the hood raising up. The pipes that are supposed to connect to the bottom of the smokestacks also don't swing out far enough to properly do so if the feet are tabbed together completely. When attempting to complete the cab assembly, it is advised to apply upward pressure on the front side barrels while pushing the cab downwards. A misassembly error is also present on all versions of the mold, where the roof hinges that connect the sides of the cabin are reversed.

:[[Starscream (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|As]] [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HasbroMP|expected]], the [[:File:MPM4Optimus.jpg|Hasbro stock photos]] have the figure mistransformed in both modes. The backpack is a mess, the chest and torso bits aren't properly configured, and the smokestacks in truck mode aren't extended.

:In the United States, Canada, and Hasbro's Asian markets, ''Masterpiece Movie Series'' Optimus Prime was exclusively available from [[Toys"R"Us]], whereas in Spain, he saw a wider release, being at least available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour. It's currently unknown if he was also available in stores, or limited to online purchases. In Greece, he was officially available via at least one toy store chain, aptly named simply "Toys-Shop", but again might have been available online only.

:Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is a Voyager-sized figure that transforms from truck to robot in just 2-steps: pulling his whole truck kibble to the front then fold down to complete the robot mode, although converting him back requires some few steps. His only articulation is the elbows, and he features 5mm compatible hands. He also features a "Knight Armor" gimmick, which consists of his mask popping out to his head with the press of the button on his chest. Take note that you need to flip back the mask manually before you turn him back into Truck Mode.

:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some gold details.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Tiny Turbo Changer, 2017)
**''Series'': '''1''' & '''2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''I'''
:[[Tiny Turbo Changers]] Optimus Prime is a small, stumpy, soft-plastic [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] mini-figure that changes from robot to a licensed Western Star 5700 OP Truck with just a few simple steps. He features ball-jointed shoulders and hands that are compatible with ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' weapons and other 3mm post accessories. Like all Tiny Turbo Changers, his vehicle-mode tires do not spin, sorry.

:Being only an inch and three quarters half, he is the second smallest transformable movie version of Optimus Prime around, only losing the first spot to the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Q-Transformers|Q-Transformers]] version. Much like the normal-colors [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#TinyTurboChanger|Bumblebee]], he was available in both Series 1 and 2 of the line, with no noteworthy changes between releases. Not even their bag codes were altered. Their instruction books were updated to say "Series 2".

:Released as part of the [[Target]]-[[exclusive]] ''Reveal The Shield'' subline, this Tiny Turbo Changer 3-pack contains a [[redeco]]ed Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#RtSTinyTurbo3pack|Bumblebee]] (in their first non-blindpacked release) and a new [[Steelbane#TinyTurboChanger|Steelbane]] figure. This version of Optimus features red wheels & [[Tech Spec]]-esque patterns on his robot mode chest and... groin-flaps, though the ''real'' decoding is on his vehicle mode roof, which when seen through the attached clear-red weapons (or similar plastic device) reveals... an Autobot symbol. Surprise.

:Despite being a store-exclusive, the 3-pack containing this figure absolutely choked store shelves thanks to their [[shelfwarmer|inability to sell]], and were still available in plentiful numbers two years after the film's release.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2017)

:Legion Class Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the first ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class figure, with the deco resembling the paint job from Optimus Prime's Western Star "5700 OP" concept truck. While the main body is identical to the figure, the arms and legs are newly tooled, with simple assemblies for the wheels. The retooled legs now features a more solid stopping point, which prevents the center front grill/legs to swing back further. It should be noted that his flame decals are ''painted over'' the side windows.

:The newly tooled legs also feature unreasonably long pegs to secure their connection in vehicle mode. They have a tendency to snap off over time, though this doesn't affect the toy too much.

:In 29th August to 29th September, the entire 1st wave of ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class figures that almost ''massively'' shelfwarmed in Malaysia's Toys"R"Us stores was sold as a giveaway item for the customers who purchased ''The Last Knight'' toys in a price of RM200 (approx $46) in a single receipt. Optimus is one of the four.

*'''Optimus Prime 2-Pack''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': MechTech Blaster/Energon Battle Axe, Gun/missile/flame attachment

:This 2-pack release of Optimus Primes are redecoes of [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys|''Transformers'' (2007) Protoform Optimus Prime]], and [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_2|''MechTech'' Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]].

:"Cybertron Optimus Prime" new features a darker grey plastic, and mostly shares the same paint mask to the original Deluxe class figure, with added paint details on his head and the mesh-like pattern on the front of his "entry" mode. The silver paint on his chest was slightly changed from the original and he lacks the paint on his feet, his "headlights", and the top of his "entry" mode. Lastly, he features Cyberglyphics on his vehicle mode windows, and the rear sides of the vehicle. His flame attachment is now cast in translucent red plastic with orange sprays.

:Although ''MechTech'' Optimus Prime's deco is similar to the [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys_2|first Deluxe Class figure]], some of his parts (robot shoulder flaps, chest piece/truck front) were recast in blue plastic (with the chest being painted red), and his paint applications on the pelvis, headlights & thighs are omitted. His front truck hood/backpack's deco is altered: the truck steps and the fenders were painted blue, and the gold gradients on the flame tampographs are removed, while he features additional flame tampos on both sides of his front hood, and an Autobot Insignia on his left robot shoulder. He still retains the light-piping gimmick, but cast in clear plastic, with the eyeballs being (halfheartedly) painted with clear blue. His MechTech weapon is cast in transparent orange plastic, with the exception of the scope/lever and the gun barrel, which remained opaque silver plastic due to being cast with unpaintable plastic. He also features Cyberglyphics on the left side of his vehicle mode front hood.

:All Cyberglyphs in this set translate to "PRIME"

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2017)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This Voyager-sized Optimus Prime is an all-new mold (with a similar transformation scheme to [[Megatron_(Movie)/toys#Generations|''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class Galvatron]], notably the shoulders, rooftop backpack, and the leg/wheels combo) based on his Leader Class figure. He features a similar but different transformation scheme, which results in a somewhat clean robot mode, although most of his vehicle kibble hangs on his back. He also features the sword & the shield based on his final design in the movie, albeit the sword being painted similarly to the Armor Knight Optimus Prime's sword. His Sword can store underneath his Vehicle mode or his robot mode backpack, while the shield can be stored on the truck's fifth wheel hitch, which can also tow the trailer included from the Japanese exclusive [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#VoyagerTrailer|Mechtech Voyager]]. Although the pectoral armor can be slightly pushed up a little bit further, the pieces have to actually stop at where the rectangular peg holes are located.

:Surprisingly, this was also the first Hasbro exclusive transforming Movie Optimus Prime figure to be based on the final design seen in ''Age of Extinction''. He even features the forearms that Prime had before obtaining the Sword of Judgement, which unfortunately means that he is inaccurate to his appearance in the battle of Hong Kong and the entirety of ''The Last Knight''. The sword's blade is still painted as the heated-up version from the concept art.

[[File:Shellformer_TLK.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Continuing the family [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#"First Edition"_toys|tradition.]]]]
:Like the larger ''First Edition'' figure, you can actually separate the robot mode from his vehicle shell, displaying both of his modes at once... albeit unlike the ''First Edition'' figure, this tweak could sacrifice the even stability between those two separated figures. Some of the pieces like the legs/rear wheels are particularly difficult to separate.

:This Optimus Prime ''can'' tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], though he cannot turn left or right due to the gray trailer hitch slightly pressing against the trailer's landing gear joints, and it ''slightly'' lifts the trailer with the front-rear tires lifting off the ground. The 2018 giveaway event-exclusive [[Quad_Barrel_Shotgun#Generations|Quad Barrel Shotgun]] accessory can be used for this figure.

:The Hasbro stock photos of the toy are ''slightly'' mistransformed: his pectoral armor is not folded correctly in robot mode. At least a ''very small'' number of units feature a faceplate-less head sculpt which was probably intended for a later retool, but there is no news about this pretool being released in the future. This figure was also released in Toys R Us Japan on May 1st, 2017 as a store exclusive, likewise identical to the Hasbro release.

:The CG stock photos feature extra silver paint apps on the lower thighs and hands, which the final product does not feature.

:Released as one of the prizes from the "Midnight Madness" event in a Toys R'Us in Singapore, this Optimus Prime is a redeco (of sorts) of the Voyager Class figure. The figure's deco is unchanged from the standard release, but he now has weathered battle damage paint all over him (yes, this includes applying to unpaintable plastic). In addition, the bright yellow paint is applied onto the blade.

:In some countries like Malaysia, Prime could be obtained by buying some certain items in an expensive price, given away along with a similarly 'battle-damaged' redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]. He was also released as a prize figure for the Transformers Atrium Fair in Takashimaya B2 Atrium located in Singapore from 13 till 26th June 2017.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield

:This exclusive redeco of Optimus Prime features darker shades of red and blue than his other releases and has extensive paint applications to resemble his on-screen appearances in ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'', particularly his Nemesis Prime alter ego seen in the film. To that end, he features movie-accurate flame patterns, which are larger and more elaborate than the ones on the regular release or the SDCC exclusive, on his vehicle mode exterior and robot pectoral armor. His eyes and sword are also painted metallic purple, but his shield is completely unpainted for some reason.

:Dark Optimus Prime could be purchased along with advance tickets for ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]'' via movie cards from June 25, 2017, on the Omni7 website, and from September 29, 2017, if the item was purchased without advance tickets.

**''Accessories'': Sword, Shield, Tire piece

:The ''San Diego Comic-Con 2017'' exclusive Optimus Prime figure is another redeco of the ''Premier Edition'' figure, which aims for a more movie-accurate look than the original by still sharing the same paint masks, but replacing the chest's deco with flames and adding extra paint applications on the legs, arms, chest, head, tire rims, both sides of the engine compartment, and the sword and shield... but for some reason still sports the movie-inaccurate blue 'collar', as well as the smaller, less accurate vehicle flame tampographs instead of the more movie-accurate ones used on Dark Optimus Prime. His Autobot insignia is also moved on the upper back section of the air dam. He is packaged in a stylish, display-case-like-box similar to later ''Transformers: Alternators'' releases and the Hasbro Toy Shop/SDCC 2011 exclusive figure.

:Hilariously, Optimus Prime also comes with an ''authentic tire piece'' from a Western Star 5700XE truck (no seriously, look it up.). His stock photo is also ''slightly'' mistranformed: his pectoral armor is not rotated properly in robot mode. Also, the fifth wheel hitch pieces seem to be missing on his robot mode stock photos.

Some of his parts like the vehicle front hood and the truck roof feature a pattern similar to the ones used for the [[Tech Spec]]s in the ''Generation 1'' toys. He features a new sword and shield accessory, which can be used to decode the patterns.

:In the United Kingdom, this Optimus Prime was released as an Argos exclusive along with several other sets branded as part of the ''Reveal the Shield'' [[subline imprint]]. His United States release was initially claimed to be exclusive to [[Target]] by online retailers from Asia, but even though the other ''Reveal the Shield'' products eventually became available at Target, Voyager Class Optimus Prime was released as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive in the United States instead, complete with a "Toys"R"Us exclusive" sticker.

His chromed chest was also stripped of chrome for adding paint operations, his shield was unpainted, and both of his sword and truck mode windows were casted in colorless plastic.

:Calibur Optimus Prime is a retool of the Armor Knight Optimus Prime figure, who is a retool of the original ''Age of Extinction'' Leader Class figure, with the fifth wheel hitch now forming his handheld shield based on the one used in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]], which results in a backpack-less robot mode and an additional [[partsformer|partsforming]] gimmick to boot, although the shield still can be converted into a backpack like the original Leader Class mold do. He also comes with an axe based on the one used in the third film.

:The initial release of the figure comes with a limited edition Energon Sword. According to [https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%88%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC-TLK-15-%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A3%E3%83%AA%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%83%97%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A0/dp/B072FVY1SX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498192402&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=TLK+optimus#productDetails Amazon Japan's page], the included Energon Sword & Axe is also compatible with ''Movie the Best'' MB-11 Optimus Prime figure (seen above), which basically makes Calibur Optimus Prime a weapon expansion pack for said figure.

:In an amusing (but glaring) example of poor quality control in a Takara product, the back of the packaging features a small amount of [[Engrish]], notably the word "kinetic" being written as "''Kinetic'''k'''''". The bio also mentions the elemental metal as the "Cyber-Matter" living metal, which is used for the Aligned continuity family. Oddly, TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

:The Calibur Axe is later redecoed into "Bronze Caliber Axe", as a giveaway accessory for the 3rd ''The Last Knight Final Battle Campaign'' in Japan.

**''Japanese Release Date'': 2017-[[August 31|08-31]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-EX'''
**''Accessories'': Orion Pax's 2 guns, Titan Master, Optimus Prime's gun

:Released as part of a new line called ''[[Transformers: Tribute]]'', Orion Pax is a redeco of ''Titans Return'' [[Kup_(G1)/toys#Titans_Return|Sergeant Kup]], and transforms from a red-and-blue Cybertronic pickup truck which is also an homage to <s>Generation 1 [[Crosshairs (G1)#Generation 1|Crosshairs]]'s vehicle mode </s> [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Collector's Edition|G1 Optimus's e-HOBBY toy]]. His Titan Master, retooled from [[Recoil (G1)#Generations|Flintlock]], features a new face that is based on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)#Deluxe|''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax toy]]. As a redeco of the Kup mold, Orion Pax still suffers the leg panel misassembly.

:The set also includes a redeco of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Generations|''Generations War for Cybertron'']] Optimus Prime figure, which changes the original figure's dark red plastic to a brighter, more vibrant red, changes the gray plastic to a darker charcoal tone, changes the "windows" from gray to nearly black, and replaces most of the original figure's pink-ish red paint details (which were yellow on the redeco from the "Rage over Cybertron" three-pack) to teal.

:The use of a G1-based Orion Pax design and an Aligned-based Optimus Prime design with Movie Optimus Prime packaging art makes it hard to know where on the wiki this should go, but given the general movie-themed bent of the ''Tribute'' line, we're putting it here. Continuing the tradition, the 2-pack was first released in some Asian countries like Taiwan without any prior announcement from Hasbro itself. A few months after the 2-pack's release, ''Tribute'' Optimus Prime & Orion Pax saw worldwide release through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], including an Amazon Japan listing bearing a ''The Last Knight'' ID number.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, [[2018]])
**''ID number'': '''05'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-05'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 28]], 2018'''
**''Accessories'': Two [[Dual Energon Swords | Energon Sword]]s, "Forest Battle" backdrop
:''[[Studio Series]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new Voyager Class mold that transforms from a robot into a Peterbilt 379 semi-truck. He comes with a pair of [[Dual Energon Swords | Energon Sword]]s, which can be mounted onto his arms or store on the back of his robot mode or truck mode. The figure combines engineering concepts from his ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Class figure with techniques previously used on ''Prime: First Edition'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Prime: First Edition|Optimus Prime]]. He also features a more subdued color scheme compared to other Optimus Prime figures. Like the rest of the ''Studio Series'' figures, the figure prioritizes robot mode [[scale]] and thus stands shorter than his Voyager Class wavemate [[Starscream (Movie)/toys#Studio Series|Starscream]]. The CG renders depict him possessing long smokestacks, but the final product has them shortened... again. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the climatic forest battle from ''Revenge of the Fallen''.

:While the 5mm compatible arms can fit with most weapons with the same post size, some of the weapons' handles can barely fit on it due to either the slightly thickened tab or sculpted thin panels.

:The rear truck cabin/back kibble can turn slightly floppy over time in robot mode, as there are no tabs and holes to secure it. All releases of this mold cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]], as the trailer hitch is too far than normal. This mold cannot combine with [[Jetfire_(Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]], although it can be achieved with some [[Fan mode|fiddling]]. However, it ''can'' carry (but not combine with) Studio Series 44 Optimus Prime's trailer.

:While stock photos and renders show the figure with a faceplate, this [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/1859790330757819/?type=3&theater image] posted by the Transformers Facebook page shows him with his mouth exposed. This was later found as a variant at least [http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/05/07/transformers-studio-series-optimus-prime-faceplate-less-variant-images-363449 once]. A running change was made, changing the blades to be more translucent. The semi-translucent blades release features a date code "73461", whereas the translucent orange blades version features a date code written as "80171".

:TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode is mistransformed on the right elbow: His forearm is bent ''back'' instead of the front.

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2019)
**''ID number'': '''32'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-25'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 23]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': [[Ion blaster]], "Highway Showdown" backdrop
:Released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an extensive retool of the figure above, featuring many new parts, namely a new backpack, chest piece, thighs, forearms, a (removable) abdominal area, and lower legs with a pair of non-transforming fenders. These new parts lead to [[Show-accuracy|a better resemblance to his appearance in the first two movies]] and allow him to combine with ''Studio Series'' [[Jetfire (Movie)#Generations|Jetfire]] to form "Jetwing Optimus Prime," while resulting in a somewhat more involved transformation. His color scheme features a much higher contrast than the previous release. Unfortunately, as a trade-off for having a more accurate robot mode, his vehicle mode suffers; his front drive tires lift off the ground, he’s missing the toolboxes behind his fuel tanks, some of his robot mode kibble is exposed beneath his doors, and several of the floodlights above his windshield are gone.

:Instead of Energon Swords, he now comes with an [[Ion blaster]] like that used in the battle of [[Mission City]]. It can be stored on various rectangular peg holes on Prime's vehicle mode or on the larger rectangular pegs on his cab nose/forearms or robot mode back. While Optimus can use the first mold's blades, the new backpack's design prevents the swords from being stored, and using the intended "underslung" grip displaces his forearm armor slightly. His Ion Blaster cannot be wielded by the first mold either, thanks to his narrow 5mm compatible hands. He also comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the highway fight with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] from the first ''Transformers'' film. Since the Leader Class figure below is a redeco of this one, it should come as no surprise that this one is fully compatible with the trailer and jet pack.

:As the front grills rely on the hook-and-tab assembly to complete the truck mode and combined to the fact that they're molded in translucent plastic with silver entirely painted on it, the painted tabs can chip off after many transformations, slightly breaking the front grill assembly apart, leaving a ''very small'' gap.

:The packaging stock photo features him having a misassembled hip, which is facing backwards. Speaking of misassembly, a small amount of Optimuses have two left or right upper arms. These errors prevent the front section from fully transforming. This can be identified by viewing the front section while he's still in-package.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''38'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-30'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, "[[Golden Gate Bridge|San Francisco Bridge]]" backdrop
:The third ''Studio Series'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold based on his appearance in ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'', and as such closely resembles the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|G1 Optimus design]]. He transforms into an unlicensed approximation of a 1970s Marmon cab-over truck, rather than the Freightliner he appears as during the film's final scene. Optimus comes with the [[Ion blaster]] he is seen wielding in the film's Cybertron sequences and a backdrop featuring the [[Golden Gate Bridge]] where he meets up with Bumblebee. As an unadvertised feature, the Ion Blaster can be stored underneath the rear legs in truck mode. Note that this feature was not intended by the designers and is completely fan-made.

:While his truck mode scales with most of the ''Studio Series'' brethren, Optimus' robot mode shares the same height as his other Optimuses in this section, which means that he towers over his original size in the film. Unlike his appearance in the movie, this Optimus' design closely resembles [[Mark Yang]]'s concept art of the character, complete with flat feet. Unlike most of the ''Studio Series'' figures, this Optimus doesn't have any insignia tampographed or sculpted on. The silver weathering on his stomach varies from figure-to-figure.

:Unfortunately, the grey lower leg panels tend to disconnect/dislodge if the feet are swiveled (combined with a tight joint) and with the pressure applying downwards while standing. The silver-painted hinged panels on the sides of his truck mode (and to an extent, the painted crotch) are prone to chipping due to being used with transformation.

:This Optimus Prime cannot tow the [[Armored_Weapons_Platform#Voyager_Class_toys|Mechtech Trailer]] due to the distant hitch port, though it can be hooked with the truck's cavity. It can, however, hitch up properly with the ''Studio Series'' leader class trailer below, though the fifth wheel's 5mm hole isn't wide enough to properly connect with the 7mm hitching peg. Placing the peg in the hitch holds it loosely in place, which is fine for static posing but likely to fall off with play.

:This toy is one of the items that is released as part of Hasbro's Transformers 35th Anniversary promotional mailer box.<ref>https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/05/21/transformers-35th-anniversary-promo-box-in-hand-388546</ref>

* '''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2019)
**''ID number'': '''44'''
**''Japanese name'': '''Jetwing Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''SS-39'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[August 31]], 2019'''
**''Accessories'': Trailer/[[Armored Weapons Platform]]/Omega Combat Armor, 2 cannons, [[Energon-axe]], [[Dual Energon Swords|Energon Sword]], Shield, Ion blaster, abs piece, "Battle of Chicago" backdrop
:This Optimus Prime is a redeco/retool of the second toy with a new stomach area that is molded to be accurate to his appearance in ''Dark of the Moon'', complete with a new trailer forming his weapons platform and combat armor. He also comes with two cannons, an energon axe, a shield, an energon sword, and a slightly redecoed (de-decoed?) ion blaster from the second toy, losing its blackened barrel. His fellow Leader Class Autobot, [[Jetfire_(Movie)#Studio_Series|Jetfire]], comes packaged with a replacement ''Transformers'' and ''Revenge of the Fallen''-accurate abdomen piece, allowing them to combine... though the piece is color-matched to Optimus' first SS-05 release, a figure that lacks this figure's new molding and is thus incompatible with Jetfire. In addition to the new deco and molding, the hinges in his back that the panels with the fuel tanks are attached to now have pins, preventing the pieces from popping off when swiveling them into position during conversion.

:In terms of deco, Optimus features gradient orange paint on his forearms/truck front which the Voyager Class release didn't have, while the formerly transparent parts are now cast in opaque blue plastic, with both his real and [[kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux windows]] painted silver. Meanwhile, the CG stock renders feature several color and deco details that are inaccurate to the final toy; notably, the joints on his grille section are shown to be orange rather than gray, the windows are shown to be transparent rather than opaque, and all the weapons are shown to be painted, even though the only weapon that actually features ''any'' paint on the final toy is the sword. Conversely, both the CG render ''and'' the near-final stock photo of the robot mode show the new abdomen piece as being painted in a single red color, while the final product (including the TakaraTomy stock photos) have the details in the center section painted in movie-accurate silver.

:The CG render on the front packaging is a rather lazily-edited version of the Optimus Prime art (complete with ''Revenge of the Fallen''-styled abdomen), with the Jetwing unit slapped on his back. There are also a few obvious design oversights, with no official instructions on how to store the Ion Blaster and no actual means of attaching the shield to Prime's arm in a shield-like manner. And while Prime himself has been improved to prevent parts popping off, the dark grey "shoulder straps" on the Jetwing have a frustrating tendency to pop off due to the raised rectangular details directly under them, meant to hold them in place with friction but instead causing the part to flex and deform under pressure.

: Despite the figure's size classification, Prime himself is Voyager-sized (obviously, seeing as he's a retool of a previous ''Studio Series'' Voyager). The Leader Class price point comes from the extra accessories that he comes packaged with.

: Released in series 3 of Tiny Turbo Changers, Silver Knight Optimus Prime is a redeco of the series 1 figure based on the Silver Knight [[Target]] exclusive subline from ''Age of Extinction''. By this point in the the mold's life, weardown has set in and many copies have incredibly loose balljoints that pop out easily.

His head can switch between maskless and masked faces. His Ion Blaster can be held in his [[5 mm peg|5 mm]] compatible hands or store on his back.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Speed Series, 2018)
:Released as part of the ''Bumblebee'' Energon Igniter's Speed Series line, this Optimus is a Legends/Legion-sized mold that transforms from robot into a Cab-over truck with the transformation scheme shared with the [[Transformers_(2010_toyline)|Transformers (2010)]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal The Shield'' Legends Class toy]], and he features 3mm compatible hands. Optimus' truck mode can also be attached with the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly, making him a fast-moving truck.

:Due to its simplified transformation, Optimus' robot shoulder parts ended up sticking out from his truck mode, and his upper cabin panel ends up being integrated with his head. Unlike most Speed Series toys, he also shares a similar pivoting shoulder articulation from his ''Reveal the Shield'' counterpart, and his Energon Igniter port ends up under his right foot in robot mode rather than on his knee.
