[[File:TLK Burton table pose.jpg|thumb|right|400px|This is season 2 of ''West World'', right?]]

Last of the [[Order of the Witwiccans]] and twelfth Earl of Folgan, Sir '''Edmund Burton''' knows all about the [[Transformer]]s and the history of their kind on [[Earth]]. Using his considerable political and financial influence, he's dedicated to keeping this history a secret and is aided in doing so by a myriad of hidden Cybertronians across the planet.

He is everything you hope to be when you grow old and everything you probably won't be.

Descended from a long line of complete and utter lunatics who committed suicide in a variety of inventive ways, Edmund Burton was a boy when [[World War II]] broke out where he met [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Though Hot Rod would remain on Earth and become close friends with Burton, Bumblebee left after the War and would not remember the conflict as a particularly noteworthy event decades later. He was partly raised by [[Cogman]], a sociopathic [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] who was in service to the Burton family.

Over the years, Edmund Burton would be inducted into the Order of the Witwiccans, meet (and become greatly annoyed by) [[Seymour Simmons]] and receive a knighthood. He was friends with the father of [[Viviane Wembly]] and watched over her from afar sending Hot Rod to masquerade as her car. He also acquired a Cybertronian firearm which he concealed as a cane.

When [[Unicron|six mysterious horns]] burst out of the crust of the Earth, Sir Edmund realized [[Cybertron (planet)|the apocalypse]] was coming and visited one of the horns in Africa. Realizing what he had to do, Sir Edmund sent Cogman to collect [[Cade Yeager]] and had Hot Rod bring him Viviane.

To Sir Edmund's great joy, Cade had been accompanied by Bumblebee. Just as Cade was about to take his leave, Hot Rod bringing a panicking Viviane convinced Yeager to stay and hear out Sir Edmund. After introducing himself and the [[watch that killed Hitler]], he showed the two to the Round Table (itself a Cybertronian artifact) and explained that the exoplanet approaching Earth was in fact Cybertron itself, that Cade was the foretold "Last Knight" and Viviane the last descendant of [[Merlin]] himself. As such, only together could the two save Earth from destruction at Cybertron's hand.

[[File:TLK EdmundBurton explanation.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Some believe that before the universe, there was nothing. They're wrong. There was darkness…and it has survived.]]

The discussion was halted when the [[Transformers Reaction Force|TRF]] and [[Secret Intelligence Service|MI6]] arrived on the grounds to arrest them. Sending Cade and Viviane to find a clue to the location of the [[Staff of Merlin]], Sir Edmund and Cogman lead the authorities on a supercar chase throughout London. While the two were busy searching for a clue that pointed them to the [[HMS Alliance|HMS ''Alliance'']], Burton was contacted by Simmons, who directed him towards a book in the [[Trinity Library]] that told the truth of Earth. After inducting Simmons into the Order of the Witwiccans, Sir Edmund learned from the book that Earth had formed around Unicron and the horns were the Chaos Bringer's reaction to Cybertron's approach. Arriving at the {{w|Royal Navy Submarine Museum|naval museum}}, Sir Edmund slipped a paper to the ticket booth and declared the museum closed "for an eternity". Forcing everyone off, Sir Edmund left the two in Cogman's company and saw them and Bumblebee off while he went to rally a defence.

Arriving at 10 Downing Street, Burton asked to see the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] but was turned down by a "dickhead". Undeterred, he used the secret entrance to emerge directly into the Prime Minister's office. When several guards tried to arrest him, Sir Edmund flashed the watch that killed Hitler, threatening to unleash the psychotic Cybertronian who would have little issue killing everyone in the room. After flashing his credentials (and repeatedly telling the Prime Minister to shut up), Sir Edmund ordered him to mobilize all the [[British Armed Forces|British military forces]] to [[Stonehenge]].

Being deposited at Stonehenge by the British military, Sir Edmund witnessed [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], and [[Nitro Zeus]] gloat about killing Unicron and opened fire on the Decepticon leader with his firearm, the signal for the military to open fire. While the three Decepticons were unable to take cover, they still proved able to best the military with Megatron being able to activate Stonehenge to prepare for the energy transference. Megatron then glimpsed Sir Edmund and cursed him before firing a blast from his [[fusion cannon]] that sent the human flying.

Cogman then ran to Sir Edmund, who claimed he'd had his moment by fighting Megatron before dying contentedly. Cogman mourned his master, declaring him the coolest Burton he'd served. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

==Notes==

*The film's 2019 prop auction reveals that a headstone was made for Burton's grave, which is never seen in the movie. It also states that the events of ''The Last Knight'' take place in the year 2017, seemingly at odds with the movie timeline. <ref>https://profilesinhistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/101TransformersSs.pdf</ref>

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

[[File:Cliffjumper BB model.jpg|thumb|300px|"At least I'll get to live longer than the [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|other Cliffjumper]]... right?"]]
Surly, impatient, loud, and brash, '''Cliffjumper''' is the kind of Autobot lieutenant who shoots first and asks questions much, much later. The only intelligence he is patient enough to gather is "[[Decepticon]]s were here, and now they are dead." Despite his surly and impetuous nature, however, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] seems to like him. He is short in stature much like 'Bee, but that never gets in the way of him provoking his enemies and taking the first shot in battle.

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

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

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

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

[[File:ReignofStarscream3 Cliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|left|"...But if we wind up in Carbombya, I quit."]]
After Megatron discovered that Optimus, Prowl and Jazz had been snooping about in his quarters, he sent Cliffjumper and Bumblebee along with other expendable security officers under Prowl's command to arrest Optimus on trumped-up charges of treason. What the officers didn't know was they were all marked for death, and on the trip to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], the group was attacked by soldiers loyal to Megatron. The group managed to escape to [[Burthov]] while Optimus stayed behind long enough to defeat the would-be assassins. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

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

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

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

After the death of Megatron and the destruction of the AllSpark, Cliffjumper was part of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] under the command of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. Together with his teammates, he attacked the Starscream's landed Decepticon starship. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} Cliffjumper and the others made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones that the Decepticons sent against them, but were unprepared for [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]'s sonic weaponry. Cliffjumper and [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] attempted to provide cover for [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] to evacuate the fallen [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]], but Thundercracker killed Camshaft and wounded Cliffjumper. Saved from certain doom by Arcee, Cliffjumper turned the tides on the Decepticon, only to be shot in the back by Starscream. Arcee attempted to evacuate her wounded comrade, but was struck down by Starscream instead, leaving Cliffjumper's future looking grim. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} However, [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] only found corpses to two dead Autobots belonging to Air Raid and Camshaft, so Cliffjumper may have gotten better! {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

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

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

Cliffjumper was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Tasked with finding other Autobots scattered throughout the galaxy and rendezvous on [[Earth]], they left Cybertron in various escape pods.

Some time later in [[1987]], the Decepticon hunters [[Shatter]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)|Dropkick]] tracked him to one of [[Saturn|Saturn's]] moons, and tortured him to learn Prime's whereabouts. Though Cliffjumper refused to betray the Autobots, the two Decepticons managed to pick up [[Bumblebee (Movie)|B-127's]] signal from nearby Earth. The pair decided to go after B-127 instead... but not before Shatter had Dropkick fatally bisect Cliffjumper as an "honorable death". {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

*'''Cliffjumper Vs Recon Barricade''' (Legends multi-pack, 2007)
:Released as part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' assortment, [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Cliffjumper is a [[redeco]] of Legends Bumblebee. His [[alternate mode]] is a fully licensed 1976 Chevrolet Camaro cast in red plastic with silver racing stripes on his hood. As part of the ''AllSpark Battles'' assortment, he came packed with Legends Class [[Barricade (Movie)|Recon Barricade]], a redeco of the previously released Legends Class Barricade. Even though the packaging for the two-pack features the same elements as the ''[[AllSpark Power]]'' [[subline imprint]], the packaging doesn't explicitly identify it as part of ''AllSpark Power''.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Blaster cannon/blade
:As part of the ''[[AllSpark Power]]'' refresh of the movie toyline, Cliffjumper is once again a red and silver Bumblebee redeco, this time of the Deluxe Camaro Concept Bumblebee toy and, naturally, transforms into the {{w|Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro|concept vehicle for the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro}}. He features two [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmicks during transformation: ''(a)'' swinging his hood down into [[robot mode]] position also moves his arms up and ''(b)'', swinging his feet down will move the rear fenders up and behind his calves, as well as swinging the rear windows to his inner calves in a spring-loaded action.

:Cliffjumper comes with a plasma cannon that he can hold in either hand. For added play value, the cannon can Automorph into an energy blade by opening up the halves of the gun barrel and swinging them back. Care should be taken while transforming the front clear window piece: At least one of the protruding panels can snap off if not done carefully.

:Contrary to popular opinion, the red pieces on the back of Cliffjumper's feet are ''not'' supposed to be heel spurs, and they have ''not'' been mis-assembled. They are supposed to fold up to emulate the detail found on the CGI design for Bumblebee. Both the stock and prototype photos had the chest hood blocks mistransformed in robot mode. In comparison to the final product, the painted prototype also features additional light blue paint on the ([[Unpaintable plastic|unpaintable]]) thighs and lower knees, and black paint on the toes.

*'''Cliffjumper''' (Speed Series, 2018)
:Speed Series Cliffjumper is a redeco of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Energon Igniters|Bumblebee]], transforming from robot into a licensed classic Volkswagen Beetle in just a few steps, and he features 3 mm compatible hands. Cliffjumper can also be attached to the Energon Igniters core, and due to the toy being lightweight, it can propel his vehicle mode forward very quickly. As the port is 5 mm compatible, Cliffjumper can mount other weapons with the same post size, making him an efficient weapon-towing vehicle. Due to being used for transformation, he features a pair of well-articulated legs, as long you don't mind the Energon Igniters port sticking out from his left knee. As with Bumblebee, Cliffjumper doesn't have any Autobot insignias tampographed or sculpted on.

:As a redeco, Cliffjumper's toy is inaccurate to his brief appearance in the movie, and instead continues the legacy from the toys above. Cliffjumper uses the amended front window panel, allowing it to click freely without any problems.

:Rather than an official announcement, Cliffjumper was included (in vehicle mode only) in two photos posted by Hasbro on their official Twitter account in early December 2018 that showcased a variety of toys related to the ''Bumblebee'' film (the same photos also revealed the existence of Nitro Series [[Blitzwing (BB)#Nitro|Blitzwing]] and [[Dropkick (Movie)#Nitro|Dropkick]]). He was found at retail in Australia a few weeks later, followed shortly afterwards by Germany and then the United States. Hasbro finally "acknowledged" the existence of the figure by displaying him at [[Toy Fair 2019|New York Toy Fair 2019]] in February, while official stock photos weren't released until early April 2019.

He transforms into a red version of Bumblebee's Cybertronian car mode as seen in ''Bumblebee''. He comes with a redeco of the gun included with the original version of the mold and a cardboard backdrop display depicting a war-torn Cybertron as it appears in the beginning of the film.

:Cliffjumper's Japanese wave-mate, [[Overload_(ROTF)|Overload]] was planned to be released in Japan on [[August 29]], 2020, but was pushed up to the first of that same month for unknown reasons. Cliffjumper himself was released during the planned original release date of the 29th.

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

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

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

==Notes==
[[File:MovieCGCliffjumper.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|One bee, two bee, red bee, blue bee.]]
*An early [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] test animatic (first seen in Circuit City-exclusive web content, later in the "bonus" section of the official movie website) of Bumblebee in battle had 'Bee facing off against [[Bumblebee clone|a red doppelganger]]. Hmmmm.
*With three toys, a [[Titanium Series|Titanium]] figurine, a [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] figurine, and a Battle-Card, Cliffjumper has '''by far''' the most merchandise for a ''Transformers'' movie character not actually appearing IN the film. However, the increased popularity of Bumblebee prevented any further Cliffjumper redecos of Bumblebee toys from the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' lines (with the exception of the ''Titanium'' figure), leading instead to a slew of increasingly insane same-character-in-slightly-varied-colors redecos of Bumblebee. Cliffjumper would eventually make his return to the movieverse in ''Bumblebee'', with more toys redecoed from Bumblebee until the ''Studio Series'' figure.
*Furthermore, between his various toys, he shares two different Camaro [[alternate mode]]s with Bumblebee. Is this supposed to imply that in a toy-only [[micro-continuity]], he undergoes ''exactly'' the same upgrade from a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro into a modern Camaro concept vehicle?
*Unlike the other Autobots who were clearly shown to have been killed in ''The Reign of Starscream'' #3, Cliffjumper's status was ambiguous in the actual fiction. [[Chris Mowry]] claimed that Cliffjumper survived,<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage168039</ref> and [[John Barber]] sneakily alluded to it years later for ''Convergence''.
**However, Cliffjumper gets killed off on-screen in ''Bumblebee''. This creates complications with the movieverse's current timeline, namely why Cliffjumper could be alive in the year 2007 when he was bisected back in 1987.
*Cover A of [[The Reign of Starscream issue 5]] by [[Alex Milne]] depicts Cliffjumper among the Autobots in an Earth mode body based on his 2007 Deluxe Class toy, despite the fact (A) he has not made it to Earth and (B) does not even appear in this issue.
*Sticking to the trend, Cliffjumper's design in ''Bumblebee'' is a repaint of Bumblebee's Cybertronian body with a head based off [[Cliffjumper (G1)|his own Generation 1 namesake]].
*This is not [[Cliffjumper (WFC)|the first Cliffjumper]] to be cut in two.

'''Cheetor''' was once one with the [[AllSpark|Allspark]], until he emerged from it on Earth in his new catlike form to serve as the relic's guardian. A dedicated protector with devout faith in the Allspark, he draws power from the relic to gain enormous strength and the ability to create [[GroundBridge]]s at will. Knowing the threat that the [[Decepticon]]s pose, Cheetor has chosen to join the [[Autobot]]s, who have taken to teaching the naïve young bot about the ways of this new world. In turn, he stands with them to defend the side of good, hoping the Autobots and Decepticons will someday settle their differences and together become one with the Allspark again.

That all changed when he first noticed the Cybertronians [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. From that point on, he observed both the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s from afar, hoping their war would one day come to an end so they could all be united together in the Allspark. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

In the aftermath of a battle on the [[moon (moon)|moon]], Bumblebee spotted Cheetor watching them all, but by the time he could draw anyone else's attention, Cheetor was gone. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}} Cheetor observed the fallen form of [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] before leaving the moon, accidentally leaving the GroundBridge open behind him. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Bumblebee continued searching for information about the mysterious "moon cheetah", only to spot him watching the Autobots from outside the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']]. Bumblebee and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] attempted to catch him, but Cheetor used a GroundBridge to escape, with Hot Rod inadvertently following him through. {{storylink|The Visitor}} The GroundBridge emerged in front of the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'', and after a scuffle with the Decepticons, Hot Rod fled the scene. Before he could retaliate, [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] spotted Cheetor entering a GroundBridge, piquing his curiosity. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

When [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron used the GroundBridge network to triangulate the Allspark's location, Cheetor manipulated the portals so that only the leaders could enter the cave and introduced himself to the two leaders. To determine which of them was worthy of possessing the Allspark, Cheetor challenged them to compete in "The Trials". When the trial of knowledge proved ineffective, Cheetor instead proposed a trial by combat, granting each contender new [[spark armor]]. While he was distracted by the battle, Starscream appeared and stole the Allspark. Distraught at the seeming failure of his life's purpose, Cheetor offered to aid Optimus and his team in reclaiming the Allspark. {{storylink|Trials}}

After explaining his origins to the Autobots, Cheetor joined them in a raid on the ''Nemesis'' where he attempted to discern the Allspark's location only to find that he could not sense it. Though he initially feared that the artefact had abandoned him, he eventually realized that the Allspark was not on the ship at all, using this revelation to force the others to stop fighting and have Megatron reveal that Starscream had gone rogue. The discussion caused everyone to realize that Cheetor's lunar portal had healed Starscream's otherwise fatal wounds and laid the foundations for the latest round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} As Optimus and Megatron negotiated, Cheetor expressed hope that the peace talk would be successful, providing a mark contrast to Hot Rod and Bumblebee's attitude, but found his optimism quickly misplaced after [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]]'s fatal attack on [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] led to a free for all. {{storylink|Parley}}

Cheetor was among a group of Autobots responding to a Decepticon distress call. When they arrived at the ''Nemesis'', the Autobots found the crew paralyzed with Cheetor's instincts guiding him to the Allspark. When the [[Scraplet]]s attacked, Cheetor managed to avoid being bitten and ran to the bridge to aid Optimus and Windblade. Pouncing on Starscream's [[spark armor]], Cheetor tried to reclaim the Allspark, managing to make physical contact with it, only for this to unleash a healing wave of energy, the kinetic force of which sent Cheetor flying away from Starscream. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}
[[File:Cyberverse Spotted Cheetor.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's Allspark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid [[energon]] to briefly turn the Scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] for study. {{storylink|Spotted}}

After [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] had arrived on Earth, he led the Autobots to the Allspark only for the group to be met by both the Decepticons and a now Allspark-empowered Starscream. Though Cheetor's powers allowed him a modicum of resistance to Starscream's new abilities, the day was saved only through the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership]], its energy blasting the Allspark out of Starscream. After the Allspark had reconstituted its physical form, Cheetor managed to grab hold of it, carrying it back through the GroundBridge to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

After Optimus, in deep stasis after unleashing the Matrix, was secured in sickbay, the Autobots made ready to leave Earth. With Bumblebee, Cheetor remotely piloted an [[Autobot shuttle]], drawing the ''Nemesis'' away from Earth's [[space bridge]]. As the ''Ark'' made for the portal, [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], having seen through the ruse, attacked the ship, delaying it long enough for the ''Nemesis'' to catch up and unleash the heavy artillery. At Starscream's suggestion, Cheetor used the Allspark to repair the ''Ark'', only for the Decepticons to blow up the space bridge, forcing the ''Ark'' to physically fly back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

Finding the celebration party on the ''Ark'' too loud for his liking, Cheetor joined Optimus on the vessel's roof, only for [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] to inform them that the others were going berserk. After finding that Starscream responsible, hacking into Wheeljack's badges and exposing the Autobots to the Allspark's raw energy, the trio fought off their raging comrades and shut down the delivery system, allowing sanity to be restored. {{storylink|Party Down}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through an asteroid field, Cheetor joined Bumblebee and Hot Rod for some solar surfing, finding great success in his [[beast mode]]. As the three enjoyed themselves, they were separated by a massive solar flare. When Cheetor rebooted, he was found by [[the Fins]], one of the three factions that comprised what was left of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] race. After fighting off a few of them, Cheetor found himself drafted by the group to aid in securing [[The Park]]. Upon arrival, he reunited with Bumblebee and Hot Rod, having both been drafted into [[the Tails]] and [[the Snouts]] respectively where Cheetor encouraged the Sharkticons to celebrate their commonalities and work together. And they did just that by turning on the Autobots, sending the three running back to the ''Ark''. Acting on a brainwave, Cheetor retrieved the Allspark and used its power to, largely, reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], restoring peace to the species. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

As Cheetor reminisced about his old cavern on Earth, Windblade was possessed and took the Allspark down to a nearby red planet. Along with Optimus and Bumblebee, Cheetor followed the [[cityspeaker]] to the surface, finding a deserted city that Windblade sought to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the trio could not stop Windblade from unleashing the Allspark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Cheetor, and everyone else, in position. Needing to repower the ship, Cheetor's prone form was banged against the Allspark a few times by [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] to try and rouse it to no avail. Once power was restored to the ''Ark'', Cheetor rebooted, none the wiser about what had happened. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old [[space bridge]] to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the ''Ark'' soon wound up trapped in [[Transwarp|unspace]], the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their Allsparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the Allspark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Guarded by Hot Rod and Bumblebee, Cheetor remained on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the Allspark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though Cheetor welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. Looking around, Cheetor theorized that the environment was a remnant of Cybertron's prehistory before he noticed that Bumblebee had vanished. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}
[[File:Cyberverse BFC IV CheetorSacrifice.jpg|230px|thumb|right]]

Trekking through the jungle, Cheetor found his friend had been taken captive by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]], Cheetor using the Allspark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. Though Cheetor was quick to follow his duty, Shockwave was equally quick in rendering him unconscious leaving Bumblebee to defeat the scientist. When Cheetor awoke, the two friends returned the Allspark to its resting point and brought their planet back to life only for Shockwave to extract his own spark and use it to try and corrupt the Allspark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the Allspark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

====Alternate universe====
When a distress call from [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the ''Ark'' soon wound up trapped in [[Transwarp|unspace]], the void between universes. Though the Autobot teams worked together, along with a third Autobot group, to return home, time ran out for Cheetor's group and they were disintegrated by unspace's properties. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

*'''Cheetor''' (Elite Class, [[2019]])
**''Accessories'': "Sea Fury" battleship/armor

:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Elite Class Cheetor is a new mold transforming from robot to cheetah. He comes with the "Sea Fury" battleship, a retool of [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)#Elite Class|Bumblebee]]'s Ocean Storm Spark Armor, which can form battle armor in robot mode. His hands have a slightly open claw grip that can hold 5mm post accessories. While his tail can be easily popped on and off, it can't really be held as a weapon and appears to be removable [[for safety reasons]]. He has very decent articulation compared to earlier Cyberverse toys but lacks a waist swivel due to the hinged panel on his back, and the slot on his waist used for locking the Sea Fury armor chestplate in place.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, the Sea Fury features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. While Cheetor himself sports an Autobrand on his right shoulder, the Sea Fury has a [[Maximal]] sigil on its prow. The Sea Fury is almost identical to Bumblebee's Ocean Storm, differing only in the [[repaint|color of the paint]] and the new helmet. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Cheetor's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The figure's design matches promotional artwork from Hasbro, and as such heavily deviates from the Boulder animation model.

:Cheetor was exclusively available at [[Target]] stores in the US. He was also released at general retail in Malaysia and Europe.

[[File:CyberverseMegatron.jpg|thumb|300px|Don't tell him he doesn't have his back cannon, or he'll shoot the text down below!]]

'''Megatron''' is the tyrannical leader of the [[Decepticon]]s, being ruthless, cruel, and evil to the core. He was once friends with [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], though exactly how boggles the mind. He plans to achieve galactic domination, though his plans are often thwarted by the [[Autobot]]s.<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official ''Cyberverse'' website</ref>

[[File:Megatron - Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero promo.jpg|thumb|left|250px|There's a little of him in all of us.]]
Eons ago, Megatron was a [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial champion]] on Cybertron, besting numerous powerful opponents, including [[Devastator Maximus]] whose [[brain module]] he crushed. {{storylink|Trials}} While Megatron's raw strength served him well in the gladiatorial pits, it was his charisma which netted him a large following of admirers from all flocks of life. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Among his followers was [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]], a file clerk who began to author Megatron's speeches to his following. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At a rally, Megatron dubbed his movement '[[Decepticon]]s', and swore to create a new Cybertron that would bring equal rights to all citizens. As his power base grew however, Megatron's personality took a darker turn, eventually declaring [[Great War (Cyberverse)|open war]] on Optimus and his own followers. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

Among Megatron's early acts was the execution of the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Once [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] had captured Optimus Prime, she intended to ship him to Megatron until [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] freed his leader. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] attempted to defect from the Decepticons, Megatron followed him to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]] where he attempted to slay the traitor to serve as an example to others. Before he could however, [[Maccadam]] stormed into the room and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], the mere sight of it cowing Megatron into retreating. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Over the course of the war, Megatron would meet with Optimus several times to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict but the two were unable to come to a satisfactory compromise. {{storylink|Parley}} Megatron also befriended the poetic Decepticon [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

[[File:Cyberverse Decepticon Plankowners (Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero).jpg|thumb|300px|"Imagine seven million people all wanting to die together."]]
Once the Decepticons had taken [[Vector Sigma]], Megatron sought to use the supercomputer to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of loyal Decepticons. When Bumblebee discovered this, he was brought before Megatron who sadistically tore out the scout's [[voice box]] to prevent him from reporting what he'd learned. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Despite Megatron's best efforts, the Autobots did manage to learn of his plan, managing to seize the AllSpark and send it through a [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}}

In the year [[2007]], Megatron tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]], and sent [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]]'s [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] squad there to retrieve it. Catching wind of this intel, the Autobots on Cybertron sent [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to retrieve the artifact first only for her to come across the missing Bumblebee. Upon learning that her friend was suffering from amnesia, the [[cityspeaker]] attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to help him make sense of his memories. Among them was an undamaged memory of Megatron; however she was unable to access it before the patch malfunctioned and shut her out. {{storylink|Fractured}}

Once Windblade had begun making headway in fixing Bumblebee's mind, the scout began to remember Megatron in the earliest days of his revolution causing him to idealize the Decepticon leader as a hero. With Windblade's help however, he was able to remember the tyrant Megatron had become, being left to wonder how he could have ever considered the Decepticon someone to look up to. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Mad Megs (Cyberverse - Maccadam's).jpg|thumb|left|300px|"Now back there if you got a problem you tell Wally. And he tells everyone in town, brings it out in the open, no more problem."]]
After Slipstream had consistently failed in her mission, [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] hacked into Bumblebee's cortical psychic patch and trapped the scout in a false memory that painted him as a Decepticon spy aboard the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] who had sabotaged the ship at Megatron's direct order. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

When the [[Decepticon fleet]] invaded Earth, Megatron led the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] to the organic planet. {{storylink|Eruption}} {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}} The Cybertronians eventually became known to [[human]]kind. During a battle against Windblade, Megatron was caught on camera tripping over a powerline, winning the dubious honor of #3 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} During this time, he also dueled Optimus Prime at an industrial complex, their battle being observed by [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]]. {{storylink|Spotted}}

[[File:Cyberverse - Bad Moon Rising - Megatron Going Tank.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Just kids having fun.]]
Eventually, Megatron decided that Earth wasn't worth conquering and ordered a [[Planet Smasher]] built on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. When a battle broke out, Megatron first used his tank mode to shoot up the Autobots before Optimus Prime engaged him in melee combat, the Autobot managing to score a nasty gash on Megatron's right leg, prompting the tyrant to call Starscream for air support. Though his order went unheeded, Megatron managed to escape the battle and make it to the [[force field]]. After tossing Starscream around, he demoted him by making Slipstream the new leader of the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]]. When the Autobots brought down the Planet Smasher's force field, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to retreat into a lunar bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}}

In the bunker's control room, Shockwave activated his back-up plan of using [[planetary engine]]s to slam the moon into the Earth so they could find the AllSpark in the debris field. Content with the plan, Megatron tried to order Slipstream to guard the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] before his wound got the better of him. As he tried to get back up, a furious Starscream attacked him, firing all his [[missile]]s at point-blank range before beating the tyrant into [[stasis lock]], ordering that he be left behind when the control room was set to self-destruct. Surviving the explosion, though left heavily charred by it, Megatron made his way back to his flagship and enacted a swift and brutal vengeance against Starscream, ending with him firing the full might of his [[fusion cannon]] at the Seeker's back, deactivating him. After briefly regarding Starscream's prone form, he dumped the traitor's body out onto the lunar surface and ordered the Decepticons away from the moon. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Ordering his flagship down on an island, Megatron broadcasted a propaganda video to the human race regarding Starscream's demise, before he offered the position of [[second-in-command]] to whichever one of his troops brought him the head of Optimus Prime. When [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]] brought him the bound [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Megatron tried to use the Autobot as a bargaining chip with Optimus only for the youth to break free from his bonds and escape the ''Nemesis''. Though Megatron targeted the Autobot with the onboard weapons, he was distracted by the sight of a creature jumping through a [[GroundBridge]]. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

After every GroundBridge had been mapped, the AllSpark was located in [[Africa]], Megatron stepping through a portal to collect it. Finding not only that his troops had not accompanied him but Optimus waiting for him, Megatron briefly dueled his opposite before they were both greeted by Cheetor, Guardian of the AllSpark who subjected both leaders to the "the trials" to determine who was worthy of the AllSpark. After a failed knowledge trial, Cheetor granted each leader [[spark armor]], Megatron's formed from a helicopter, and they came to blows. Megatron eventually got the upper hand, pinning Optimus down for execution only for the Prime to hold him at gunpoint, being willing to kill them both. As this happened, no one noticed a still alive Starscream sneak in and steal the AllSpark until it was too late. Though he managed to save face with Optimus, Megatron returned to the ''Nemesis'' to commence a search for Starscream. {{storylink|Trials}}

As Shockwave tried to locate the missing Vector Sigma, the ''Nemesis'' came under attack from the Autobots, Megatron sending out his entire [[drone]] force to meet them. As Megatron dueled Optimus on the hangar deck, Cheetor loudly announced that the AllSpark was not on the ship, forcing Megatron to reveal the truth and cursing Cheetor, whose lunar GroundBridge had healed Starscream's otherwise fatal injuries. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

Agreeing to peace talks, Megatron had the ''Nemesis'' return to [[Mount St. Hilary]] for negotiations. Despite their soldiers' idiosyncrasies, Megatron and Optimus made initial strides only for discussions to abruptly end when Grimlock threw Shockwave through a wall and onto the negotiation table, Megatron ordering his troops away. {{storylink|Parley}}

When the ''Nemesis'' returned to its island, it came under attack from Starscream's [[scraplet]] horde. Fighting his traitorous second on the bridge, Megatron was paralyzed by the beasts but managed to send out a garbled distress signal. When Cheetor defeated Starscream and broke the paralysis, Megatron allowed the Autobots to go free. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}} As the ship was slowly repaired, Megatron chose to motivate Shockwave to speed up the process by threatening to replace him with Soundwave. Megatron soon came under attack from Shockwave's severed hand before the scientist himself arrived, presenting Megatron with a [[drone controller]] that he could use to control Starscream's creatures. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When Shockwave explained the perfected drone controller, the ''Nemesis'' came under attack from [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]]. Unamused, Megatron told the bombastic Autobot to go play somewhere else. Soon afterwards, a still alive Sky-Byte arrived, recounting the gloriousness of the civilizations he'd destroyed before requesting the Decepticons' aid to destroy Jetfire (offering Megatron the head). Though an appealing prospect to Megatron, he denied to get involved in favour of continuing their search for the AllSpark. Jetfire soon returned, now clad in spark armor, and abducted Megatron. When Optimus called to reveal he'd had a similar encounter with Sky-Byte, Megatron directed everyone to meet a colosseum. Encouraging the two arch-enemies to settle their feud once and for all, Megatron amusedly watched Jetfire and Sky-Byte kill each other even as their fight unearthed magma deposits. When Jetfire got the upper hand, Megatron encouraged the Autobot to strike the killing blow only for him to retreat back to the ''Ark'' so that Optimus' wounds could be tended to. As Sky-Byte climbed out of the hole, Megatron held him a gunpoint and forced him to reveal the AllSpark's location. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}
[[File:Cyberverse I Am The Allspark Megatron.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When Sky-Byte led the Decepticons back to the GroundBridge nexus, Megatron again found the Autobots had beaten him there before an AllSpark empowered Starscream arrived, arresting everyone's motor functions and forcing them to bow before him. Unimpressed by the Seeker's pettiness, Megatron openly mocked his former second's incompetence and failing streak before the Seeker began extracting all their [[spark]]s. Salvation came when Optimus Prime unleashed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on Starscream, blasting the AllSpark out of him. Quick to recover, Megatron retrieved the artifact only to be assaulted by the now feral scraplets, losing his hold on it. Megatron soon found himself fighting Grimlock, with their duel destabilizing the chamber. Though Megatron managed to initially kick the Dinobot away and make a last-ditch effort to get the AllSpark he was blindsided by the recovered Grimlock who sent him hurtling down a chasm. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

Detecting the launch of several [[Autobot shuttle]]s, Megatron ordered the ''Nemesis'' to meet them, deploying several [[Decepticon scout ship]]s to engage the smaller crafts. Though the Autobot ships were quickly destroyed, the AllSpark was not found in their debris field. Fortunately for the Decepticons, Sky-Byte had seen through the ruse and launched a one-bot attack on the ''Ark'', giving the ''Nemesis'' enough time to intercept. Ordering the ''Ark'' destroyed, Megatron unleashed the full might of the ''Nemesis'' on its Autobot counterpart only for Cheetor to heal it with the AllSpark allowing the nimbler ship to slip past. To prevent the Autobots from entering Earth's [[space bridge]], Shockwave used a hard-light [[hologram]] to simulate its destruction, the ''Ark'' instead rocketing off into deep space. Pleased with Shockwave's ploy, Megatron ordered the ''Nemesis'' through the portal and to Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

Megatron eventually managed to convert the [[Threshold of the Well]] into his personal fortress and capture [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], forcing her to send out a false distress call to the ''Ark'' by threatening to offline [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]]. When the Autobot ship emerged from Cybertron's space bridge, Megatron praised the Autobot femme before rallying his troops for battle. {{storylink|The Crossroads}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}}

As the ''Ark'' entered the atmosphere, Megatron ordered it destroyed via a [[laser snare]] before the Autobots revealed themselves to still be alive, having anticipated the attack. Ordering the whole of his army into action, Megatron led the charge in the final battle of the Great War, initially providing artillery with [[Alphastrike]] before he squared off against Optimus. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}} Optimus eventually managed to push past Megatron, only for the Prime to discover the scraplet trap that Megatron had laid. Pressing his advantage, Megatron pinned his foe against a wall before he called in upscaled, war-ready, versions of [[Shockwave's drones]], the war-beasts surrounding the Autobots. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

However, the Autobots managed to push past the drones, just as they both destroyed Vector Sigma and returned the AllSpark to Cybertron's core. Though Optimus declared this the end of the Great War, Megatron refused to surrender, and ordered Shockwave to destroy the AllSpark. While Shockwave was able to corrupt the artefact, Cheetor sacrificed himself to re-purify it, bringing life and peace back to Cybertron. Enraged, Megatron lunged at Optimus only to be sent flying back into his own scraplet trap. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

This would not be the end of Megatron, however. When the [[Quintesson]]s invaded Cybertron, Megatron was among the Transformers captured and subjected to their virtual reality as his spark was drained. Within the simulation, Megatron was Grand Marshal of a parade that celebrated his victory over the Autobots. When [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]] broke free, he found Megatron's body and tried to physically free him from the loop, to no avail. {{storylink|The Dead End}} Perceptor managed to free the Cybertronian race by hacking into the parade's source code and introducing a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]], everyone retreating from the compound to Maccadam's. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

Even after it was found that the Quintessons were draining the AllSpark to gestate their new [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], Megatron refused to fight alongside the Autobots. {{storylink|The Alliance}} Retreating to [[Iaconus]]'s stasis hold, Megatron was approached by Dead End who brought news that the Quintessons had the technology to traverse the [[multiverse]]. Eager to steal the [[multiverse drive]], Megatron joined in the attack on the Quintesson ship. When the group found the drive, they were confronted by the Scientist whom Megatron promptly shot dead only for the alien to reveal multiple backup bodies. Contemptuously blasting a path through them all, Megatron led [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] and Dead End to the Judge's escape ship where the two Decepticons threw out the Autobot before sailing away into the multiverse. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Travelling eternity, Megatron reformatted himself into a Cybertronian vehicle mode and gained the ability to manipulate exotic energy. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}} In one universe, Megatron encountered [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|a version of himself]] that had won the Great War. Horrified by his counterpart, Megatron stole his Matrix of Leadership, losing an optic in the process, and fled back to his native reality with his counterpart's servants, [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] and the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Silent Strike}} Arriving back home to find that Starscream was the new Quintesson Judge, Megatron combined the power of his stolen Matrix with its local counterpart, their energy overwhelming Starscream and finally killing him. Knowing that his alternate self would come looking for him, Megatron declared a ceasefire and ordered the Autobots to one half of Cybertron while he and his forces would occupy the other. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

As Megatron began his preparations for the arrival of "the Other One", Bumblebee and [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] were discovered in Decepticon territory. Though Megatron was ready to execute them for this, Optimus pointed out that the Decepticons' holding of Windblade constituted its own treaty violation. Not having the time to deal with this, Megatron agreed to release the Autobots. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} When the former Autobot [[Wildwheel]] began making his way through Decepticon territory, Megatron confronted him when he caused a ruckus while riding on [[Kickback (Cyberverse)|Kickback]]. Hearing that Wildwheel wanted Optimus, Megatron led him to the border, across which he could find his former commander, and offered the turncoat a spot in the Decepticons if he survived. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}} To make ready for the coming fight, Megatron assigned Dead End and Astrotrain to construct a weapon capable of blasting its targets to [[Transwarp|unspace]]. {{storylink|Rack N' Ruin N' Ratchet}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Megatron.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

As the battle neared, Megatron attempted to have the spirits of the alternate [[Thirteen]] aid him to no avail. Despite acquiring a handheld version of the dimensional ray from Astrotrain, the Insecticons had decided to cut their losses and fled Cybertron. Returning to the control room, Megatron ordered the dimensional shields raised when the Other One's [[Perfect Decepticon]]s began teleporting in. Soon afterwards, the Autobots arrived, Optimus claiming that Megatron's Matrix had to be destroyed only for the tyrant to call in his favour for aid before a master race of Decepticons materialized. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

After explaining that the invaders were [[Perfect Decepticon]]s albeit under the command of the Other One, Megatron bestowed multiversal energy on his troops, allowing them to defeat the invaders. When another wave teleported in, Megatron blasted them to unspace using his personal dimensional ray. Lowering his guard, Megatron was then attacked by the Other One before he had the Matrix telekinetically ripped from his body, deactivating him. {{storylink|The Other One}}

:A second mold for One-Step Changer Megatron features an Action Attack which extends - but does not launch - a red blast effect from his cannon. His transformation consists of flipping his tank rear to the front to release his arms and chest. Inexplicably a large part of this mechanism on his underside is painted silver while the rest of the figure is flat grey plastic. It's possible this is due to the fact it was cast in the same red plastic as his cannon parts.

Due to the simplified transformation, Megatron's arms end up sticking out from his tank mode, and his hips & thighs are visible at the front, making his crotch ''vulnerable'' in vehicle mode.

: His lower legs have a tendency to fall off, as they are held in with nearly flat plastic nubs. The red paint on his mace arm has a tendency to flake with transformations, as does the black paint on the back of his hips.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-07'''
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"

:''Cyberverse'' Ultimate Class Megatron is a roughly Leader Class-sized toy that transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot to tank in around eleven steps. He comes with a "Fusion Mega Shot" Action Attack gimmick,<ref name=io9>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 These New Transformers Cyberverse Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys] at io9.gizmodo.com</ref> which unfolds the cannon into an elongated pink barrel when the button to his left is pushed, reminiscent of a similar attack used by [[Megatron (Movie)|his live action counterpart]]. Additionally, he has an autotransforming head reveal activated when his waist is swing down, though his arms still need to be in turret mode for it to work correctly. Due to this feature, he has no neck swivel, despite the depiction in his stock render.

:Megatron is unusual for his size in lacking elbows. Otherwise, he features ratcheted swivels and outward hinges in his hips, hinged knees, and shoulders with forward and lateral joints. Despite his Fusion Cannon being permanently attached to his arm, his right fist still has a covered-up hole for 5 mm pegs. Due to his transformation scheme, Megatron can also achieve a "transformational mode" like his Scout Class toy.

:Unfortunately, some of the hips' ratcheting gear teeth had a tendency to snap off after many poses, which also forces Megatron to slightly lean forward, especially when he's in his Action Attack position.

:This toy is one of the items that was 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> Megatron also saw a re-release in the third wave.

**''Japanese Release Date'': October ???, [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-19'''
**''Spark Armor'': Chopper Cut

:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Megatron is a smaller, Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden new mold with more articulation that transforms from robot to a tank that is evocative of his Warrior Class toy, complete with ''vulnerable robot mode crotch'' in tank mode. He comes with his signature Fusion Cannon and a "Chopper Cut" Spark Armor accessory that is modeled after an attack chopper that can form battle armor in robot mode. Like all Elite Class toys, the accessory also comes with a unique built-in helmet. When flipping down the piece with the alternate head while attaching the Spark Armor, a spring-loaded gimmick is activated causing the propeller to spin and two additional arms to flip out, one with a built-in mace and the other you can attach the included Fusion Cannon to. This configuration causes the original robot arms to dangle awkwardly at the sides, but this can be remedied by bending the arms at the elbows to a 45-degree angle and rotating the lower arms until the fists point straight towards the back, streamlining the look of the armored robot mode. Much like the later Deluxe Class figure below, Megatron himself has a removable Fusion Cannon.

:In November 2019, Megatron was released as one of TakaraTomy Mall's ''Cyberverse'' "Christmas Set" offers along with Grimlock.

**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's torso
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[August]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''02'''
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, 2-piece effect part, 2 missile pods.
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Deluxe Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Megatron is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He also comes with an 2-piece effect part that is compatible with his Fusion Cannon and 2 missile pods that go on his turret sides and the sides of his legs.

:Megatron suffers from a number of design flaws: Some of his joints are loose (notably the head), while the arms and legs are prone to popping off during transformation. Early prototypes of the figure, as well as some promotional renders, gave him a smug-looking smirk while the final figure has a more neutral expression.

:In Japan, Megatron was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he was intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-29" ID Number) with a February 2020 release date.

His hips and arms are articulated, making him the only one of the four ''Cyberverse'' Burger King figures with all three points of articulation being independently available.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Megatron-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Megatron's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design (at right) also used for his [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*Megatron speaks with a peculiar accent, somewhere between Irish and American. Perhaps this is the [[Tarn (polity)|Tarnian]] accent his [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|IDW incarnation]] was known for?
*Megatron's mace on the toys are pink, similar to [[:File:Mtmte2 shermandam.jpg|the Generation 1 cartoon's purple]]. The actual cartoon coloration in ''Cyberverse'', however, is red. This is similar to how on Optimus Prime's toys his axe is coloured orange, but in the cartoon is actually blue.
*The Japanese dub gives ''Cyberverse'' Megatron a similar personality to the Japanese dub version of ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. Unsurprising, considering they're voiced by the same guy. This could be deliberate, as the Japanese dub of Optimus Prime is voiced by the Japanese dub actor of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]].
*An unproduced concept saw Megatron's left forearm open into a large blaster.

===Foreign names===

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Jeremy Levy]] (English), [[Ryōhei Kimura]] (Japanese)|[[Alessandro Bevilacqua]] (French), [[Steven Merting]] (German), [[Alessandro Capra]] (Italian)}}
In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor 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, Grimlock knocking 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 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, Bumblebee 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, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of 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}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as Croaton, the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into [[Croaton]], Chromia saving him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with an "Ocean Storm" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's waist
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"
:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

**''Accessories'': Shield/Two-piece Armblade

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Bumblebee''' (バンブルビー ''Banburubī'')

'''Optimus Prime''' is the legendary leader of the [[Autobot]]s. With axe and hard light [[Autobrand]] shield in hand, he's taken on the [[Decepticons]] in more battles than you can count. As strong in mind as he is in body, Optimus' speeches and care for his men has led to him becoming widely respected. Even [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] acknowledges his former friend's prowess enough that he'll enter occasional negotiations for peace. He's good friends with [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], who is practically his right hand bot. If you're looking for a hero, then he's your bot.

However, this heroism is something that was thrust upon him. Feeling the weight of his reputation, Optimus occasionally finds himself unable to connect to his far more relaxed crew in times of celebration. In times of peace, he'd much rather contribute to restoration efforts than continue on as active leader, despite his popularity. Until that day, Optimus Prime is the best leader an Autobot could ask for, and the worst nightmare a [[Decepticon]] could imagine.

Once a mere file clerk, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Optimus was drawn to the charismatic [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s campaign for change, becoming one of his closest allies. During a meeting at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], Optimus assured Megatron he would author the speech Megatron was to give at their upcoming rally. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

At the rally, Optimus stood amongst Megatron’s closest allies as he unveiled the Decepticon movement. Though the rally was a success, Megatron's growing power began to reveal darker shades of his personality and ambition. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

Megatron eventually staged an attack on the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] killing all of the councillors save [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] who had Bumblebee bring Optimus to him. Though Optimus blamed himself for the war, Trion reassured his protege that he had done what he felt was right and stayed true to himself. Before he passed however, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto Optimus who accepted the talisman and became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Optimus made one last effort to peacefully negotiate with his old friend, asking him to end his hostilities and allow them to diplomatically resolve their issues. With neither Megatron or Optimus willing to bend to the other, Megatron declared [[Great War (Cyberverse)|open war]] on his once friend and his faction. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

As the war escalated, Optimus was captured by the notorious [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] who stashed him in an Energon warehouse. Before he could delivered, Optimus was rescued by Bumblebee and brought back to Autobot territory. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} Another adventure saw him personally carry a wounded [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] across a battlefield. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Optimus and Megatron had several peace talks during the war but never managed to come to an agreement. Witnessing one of these talks, [[Maccadam]] inspired Optimus to never lose hope, noting that a successful ceasefire would make all the failed attempts worth it. {{storylink|Parley}}

[[File:MatrixOfLeadership-OPglows.jpg|thumb|300px|left|"I HAVE THE POWER!"]]
After learning that the Decepticons sought to use [[Vector Sigma]] to reprogram the [[AllSpark]], {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} the Autobots planned to keep the artifact out of Megatron's reach by sending it through a [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]]. Though the Decepticons put up a fierce fight, the Autobots ultimately succeeded in their goal, Decepticon firepower caused the Space Bridge to collapse after the AllSpark was sent through, sending it to parts unknown. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Sometime later, Optimus and Bumblebee were being pursued by [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. After a short battle in the [[Grand Imperium]] resulting in the Seekers retreating, the pair reflected on Cybertron’s current state and how Optimus had failed to account for the debilitating effects that the AllSpark's absence would have on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Realizing the mistake he'd made in launching the artifact, Optimus ordered the construction of a new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel so that the AllSpark could be located and retrieved. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

When the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] was completed, it launched from Iacon. {{storylink|Fractured}} Among the Autobots joining him was Bumblebee, who shared a heartfelt goodbye with [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before Optimus called him to the ship. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

During their travels, the Autobots, running critically low on [[Energon]], stopped on a nearby planet in response to an Energon reading. Once there, they found a race of [[Cave monster|subterranean creatures]] that attacked them on sight. During the battle, Optimus realized the creatures fed off of Energon and ordered his troops to retreat. Despite the planet containing much needed Energon, Optimus insisted it be left alone, finding it too high a moral cost to damn the aliens to extinction merely to ensure their own survival. Instead, he ordered the entire crew to enter stasis to conserve power. {{storylink|The Journey}}
[[File:Cyberverse-Optimus-Energon-Scanner.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
On autopilot, the ''Ark'' made its way to [[Earth]] only to suffer a hull breach and crash, {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}} in [[Mount St. Hilary]], its sleeping passengers blissfully unaware of their ship's fate. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

This unintentional radio silence left many of the Autobots on Cybertron to question the fate of their missing comrades with Bumblebee's amnesia preventing him from answering Windblade's queries on Optimus's location. {{storylink|Fractured}} {{storylink|The Journey}}

Once [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] had hacked into Windblade and Bumblebee's [[cortical psychic patch]], he trapped the scout in a fake memory that painted both he and Optimus as deep-cover Decepticons who had sabotaged the ''Ark''. Realizing that Optimus would never commit such acts, Bumblebee managed to break free of the illusion. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

When Bumblebee's group had rediscovered the ''Ark'', [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] managed to reactivate the ship and revive the crew. As Optimus caught up with his friends, getting a hug from Bumblebee, Teletraan informed everyone that a [[Decepticon fleet]] was bearing down on their location. Not wasting a moment, Optimus led his crew outside so they could confront their foes. {{storylink|Eruption}}

Optimus eventually addressed the populace of Earth on television to make the Autobot-Decepticon war public knowledge, and vowed to protect the planet to the best of his ability. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} During this time, he also fought Megatron at a silo site. {{storylink|Spotted}} Later, he led the Autobots on an excursion to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to prevent the Decepticons from destroying the earth with his [[Planet Smasher]]. Optimus managed to overpower Megatron, forcing him to retreat, and he and the other Autobots managed to shut down the doomsday device. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} Before they could pursue the Decepticons into the subterranean caves, the [[planetary engine]]s the Decepticons had installed sprang to life and forced the moon on a collision course with Earth. Leaving a small team to work on deactivating the engines, Optimus lead his own squadron into the caves to secure the control room. Upon reaching their destination, the room self destructs, preventing them from disabling the engines. Fortunately, [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]], [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] manage to hack the system and reverse the engines, moving the moon back into stable orbit. Satisfied, Optimus announced their victory to the people of Earth, echoing his previous promise to protect the planet. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

After returning to Earth, Optimus showed interest in the potential of Wheeljack's new [[Hyper Fuel]] to move the ''Ark'' out of its resting place. He later decided the material was too unstable for use after an incident involving a hyperactive [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], one which he narrowly stopped through the use of Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. {{storylink|The Visitor}} Shortly thereafter, Optimus was contacted by Megatron, who was holding Hot Rod captive, and demanded Prime give his own life if he wanted to save the young Autobot. Prime was prepared to agree, but when Hot Rod managed to free himself and escape, Optimus rescinded his agreement. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

[[File:Cyberverse-Trials-PrimeArmor.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Now where have I seen this [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|before?]]]]
After analyzing the [[GroundBridge]]s appearing around the world to find their point of convergence, the Autobots sent Optimus through one to retrieve the AllSpark, where he found Megatron also arriving. Before they could clash, they were interrupted by [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]], the AllSpark's guardian, who granted them powerful new [[spark armor]] and pitted them against each other to win possession of the relic. While the two were distracted by the battle, Starscream snuck into the chamber and stole the AllSpark. Optimus, unaware of Starscream's new independence, accused Megatron of deceit and attempted to stop him, but Megatron escaped through another GroundBridge. Determined to prevent the Decepticons from misusing the relic, he convinced Cheetor to become their new ally and the two headed back to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Trials}}

After helping Cheetor make his acquaintance with the other Autobots, Optimus, along with Grimlock, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod, took Cheetor to the bridge, and had him explain his mysterious origins. After this explanation of his history, Optimus was determined to retake the AllSpark back from Megatron at all costs. To which, he led an assault on the ''Nemesis'', and sent Cheetor, along with Hot Rod and Bumblebee, to find the AllSpark. As both Optimus and Megatron fought one another, they were interrupted by Cheetor, who explained how this conflict was pointless as the AllSpark wasn’t on the Decepticon warship, when Optimus demanded an explanation from Megatron, he discovered how Starscream had broken away from the Decepticons and stole the AllSpark for himself. This led to Optimus and Megatron calling a truce, and possible alliance against Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

As Optimus prepared himself for negotiations with Megatron, he recalled a memory of Maccadam had encouraged him to never give up his diplomatic mindset until there was peace between all Cybertronians. This lesson would carry on into his latest attempts of negotiations with Megatron to discuss the danger of Starscream. Though initial strides were made, the underlying tensions between the two factions was triggered by the arrival of [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]], who had been trying to speak to Windblade but was killed by the Decepticons on the presumption that she was a traitor, leading to an all-out brawl. As a result, Megatron declared that there would be no peace between Autobots and Decepticons with Optimus declaring that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream alone. {{storylink|Parley}}

Not long after this, Optimus sent Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Windblade, and Cheetor to Starscream's lair, only to learn that the Decepticon had abandoned the base. Once they returned, however, they received an SOS from the ''Nemesis'', which in turn prompted Optimus and a small group of Autobots to investigate, in turn, they discovered that something had drained all the Decepticons of their Energon. They would eventually meet the culprits in the form of the [[Scraplet]]s, who managed to separate Optimus and Windblade from the rest of the group. As they made their way to the bridge, they saw Megatron laying on the ground, his Energon also drained. It didn't take long for the Scraplets to surround them and damage Optimus, it was then that Starscream revealed himself and explained his plan, and communed with the Scraplet who was supposedly [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] and explained how he wanted the Matrix of Leadership back. When Optimus refused, Starscream had their Energon completely drained, and was prepared to seize the Matrix, until he was bested by Cheetor, who managed to use the AllSpark to restore everyone and disable the Scraplets. However, he was unable stop Starscream from escaping with the AllSpark, it was then that Megatron permitted Optimus and the Autobots to leave. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

Optimus would then assign the Autobots to different tasks in hopes of finding Starscream and the AllSpark, but failed to account for Cheetor, who wasn’t acknowledged by the Autobot leader as he was working at one of the terminals on the ''Ark’s'' Bridge. Later, after hearing of Starscream’s attempt to kidnap Cheetor and Bumblebee, Optimus stated that Cheetor would make an excellent Autobot scout after hearing of his training as well. {{storylink|Spotted}}
[[file:Cyberverse-Optimus-Wounded.jpg|thumb|300px|darn leg cramps!]]
Later, the Autobot leader would be on the ''Ark'' when they were unexpectedly attacked, believing the intruder to be Starscream, Optimus rallied the Autobots to retaliate, only to be surprised when instead it was in fact [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], who wanted to challenge his mortal enemy, [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]]. Optimus told the Decepticon that Jetfire was destroyed, but Sky-Byte didn’t believe it, and escaped to find the ''Nemesis''. Not long after this, Optimus and the other Autobots would again be pleasantly surprised when the previously mentioned Jetfire appeared and went inside with the others to explain his long-running feud with Sky-Byte across the cosmos. But when the offer was made for Optimus and the other Autobots to help defeat the Decepticon once and for all, Optimus refused, stating that they had more important matters at hand, such as retrieving the AllSpark, and that it was Jetfire's choice on wether he wanted to save lives or destroy them.

Much later, Optimus was beaten down by Sky-Byte, who was infused with Spark Armor granted to him by Starscream and took the Autobot leader to a Colosseum. Jetfire had also brought Megatron there to meet with Sky-Byte to finish the feud. The ensuing battle would lead to Jetfire, Sky-Byte, and Optimus to fall into a cavern below, where Optimus was fairly wounded from the fall. In the end, Jetfire made the noble decision and rescued Prime before shedding his Spark armor, telling Optimus about the whereabouts of the AllSpark as they returned to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Guided by Jetfire to the GroundBridge Nexus, the Autobots were met by the Decepticons, themselves guided by Sky-Byte before Starscream arrived, now having merged with the AllSpark. As the Seeker tried to extract everyone's sparks, Optimus channeled the power of the Matrix of Leadership, blasting the AllSpark out of Starscream and ending his threat, though the act left Optimus in deep stasis. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As his mind shifted through visions brought on by the Matrix, Optimus was placed in the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sickbay as Hot Rod led the ship off Earth and towards the space bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' began bombarding the ''Ark'', the chaos awoke Optimus and he made his way to the bridge. Entering just after Shockwave had destroyed Earth's space bridge, Optimus ordered a course set for Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

When a C-Class emergency was raised in Hangar 7, Optimus came running only to find that his troops were having a victory party. Uncomfortable with such things, Optimus gave an awkward speech before he went to stargaze on the hull, being joined by Cheetor before Teletraan-X raised a genuine C-Class alarm. Working with Cheetor, Optimus discovered that Starscream had hacked Wheeljack's AllSpark emitter badges, overloading the Autobots who were wearing them. The trio fought their way to the AllSpark's containment device, Optimus smashing it to pieces to liberate his crew. With the festive mood ruined, Optimus made the ultimate sacrifice and did a little jig to get the party going once again. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When the ''Ark'' entered a thick debris field, Optimus ordered a new course plotted, even as Hot Rod, Bumblebee, and Cheetor went off for some solar-wave surfing. When the three returned, having managed to earn the ire of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] race, Optimus watched as Cheetor used the AllSpark to recreate the [[Sharkticon homeworld]]. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

On the bridge of the ''Ark'', Optimus was alerted to Windblade having stolen the AllSpark and made for a nearby planet. Taking Cheetor, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod with him, Optimus followed the cityspeaker through an an abandoned city, facing off against a horde of automated defences, as an entity guided Windblade to bring the AllSpark to the city centre. Though the quartet caught up to Windblade, they were too late to prevent her from opening the AllSpark. To their surprise however, the entity revealed itself as a [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Croaton]]. Revealing that the city was once a [[Cybertronian colonies|Cybertronian colony]], Croaton apologized for the trouble he'd caused before he returned the Autobots their shuttle and went on his way. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

Forty cycles after their departure from Earth, the ''Ark'' was struck by an EMP that immobilized all electromechanical systems, save [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Grimlock, and Teletraan who saved the ship from a supernova. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call came in from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], Optimus decided that they had to accelerate their return home. Finding a disused space bridge, Optimus ordered it repaired. When the portal activated however, it transported them all to [[Transwarp|unspace]], the void between universes. Teaming up with several multiversal counterparts to the ''Ark'', the Autobots used their AllSparks to return to their own universes, Optimus allowing himself a rare smile when the ''Ark'' entered Cybertronian orbit. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

As he sent Jetfire and Windblade to scout the planet, Optimus tried to make contact Chromia. Unable to raise her, Optimus began to suspect a trap. Ordering the ''Ark'' evacuated, Optimus set the ship on automatic and entrusted the AllSpark to Cheetor, ordering Bumblebee and Hot Rod to defend him and instructing the three not to enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until the Decepticons had been defeated. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

Once the ''Ark'' had been destroyed by a [[laser snare]], Optimus led his troops into battle. As he duelled Megatron, Optimus was targeted by Shadow Striker before Prowl took the shot at the cost of his life. Enraged, Optimus leapt at Megatron, swearing that this would be their final battle. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

Pushing past Megatron, Optimus tried to enter the Threshold only to find it swarming with scraplets, forcing him back before Megatron pinned him down and summoned gigantic war-capable versions of [[Shockwave's drones]]. Summoning his shield, Optimus attacked the drones but was forced back by their sheer mass. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Finding a second wind, Optimus managed to turn the tide of the battle against the drones before Windblade informed him that Vector Sigma had been destroyed. Once the AllSpark had been restored to the core, Optimus declared the Great War over before Megatron, through Shockwave, tried to destroy the AllSpark, Cheetor's sacrifice saving the world. In a rage, Megatron lunged at Optimus who sent him back into the scraplets. After barring Shadow Striker from aiding her master, before declaring that it was time for Cybertron to transform for the better. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]], Optimus serving as the Parade's grand marshal. {{storylink|The Loop}}

In the physical world, Hot Rod and Perceptor led the few free Cybertronians in a resistance. Though Perceptor pushed for Hot Rod to be a leader, he continued to doubt himself and tried to free Optimus to take command. Though Hot Rod made several attempts, even throttling his leader, Optimus could not overcome the Loop's programming. {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Optimus was later freed when Perceptor hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation. Optimus ordered his troops to roll out, their subsequent transformation freeing the Loop whereupon they retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

Upon being informed of the magnitude of the Quintesson threat, Optimus was quick to agree to allying with the Decepticons but could not have Megatron join them. When the resistance tried to blow up the Quintesson ship, Optimus towed a warhead to the craft. While the Cybertronians proved able to defeat the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]], they were overwhelmed by the savage Sharkticons, Optimus' warhead being detonated. The Cybertronians were saved when Windblade managed to partially rouse Iaconus, unearthing his massive arm. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Optimus and Megatron led a strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Optimus and Bumblebee holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II OptimusPrime OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} Ordering Bumblebee to remain by the portal, Optimus tried to rescue Wheeljack only to be delayed by the architectural shifts.{{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} Wheeljack eventually awoke and used his grappling hook to quickly reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the Prosecutors before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, who sought vengeance against Optimus for the Prime's crimes against him, before Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

As rebuilding commenced, Optimus focused his efforts on repairing the [[Grand Imperium]] before Jetfire and many others began asking for his advice and permission on their own reconstruction efforts. Hot Rod later informed Optimus of Bumblebee's mission in Decepticon territory, Optimus leading a force to the border. When they arrived, Megatron had surrounded Bumblebee, Whirl and Windblade, ready to execute them before Optimus argued that holding Windblade prisoner was a treaty violation. Having more urgent matters to attend to, Megatron released the prisoners. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} Optimus later struggled with a large pillar when he met the bombastic [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]], inducting the beastformer into the Autobots. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

While aiding in rebuilding [[Cobalt Springs]], Optimus was confronted by [[Wildwheel]], a former crew member of the ''Ark'' who had fallen from the ship as it entered Earth's orbit and felt abandoned by the Autobots, Prime in particular. Though Optimus attempted diplomacy, Wildwheel's anger led to him attacking a civilian, Optimus quickly downing him as a result. Optimus then offered the turncoat a fresh start only to be rebuked. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}}

To discover Megatron's goal, Optimus sent scouting parties into Decepticon territory, all finding nothing to report. When communicating with Jetfire however, the flier was struck by an unusual beam of energy, Optimus ordering [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] to find him. After the medic, along with [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]], had recovered Jetfire, Optimus congratulated the Autobots on a successful mission. {{storylink|Rack N' Ruin N' Ratchet}}

During a mission briefing, Optimus' consciousness was pulled into the Matrix where he reunited with Maccadam. Revealing himself to be [[Alchemist Prime]], the barkeep told Optimus that the last of Windblade's psychic shards was in the alternate Matrix of Leadership, an artifact that Optimus was to destroy. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne OptimusPrime.jpg|280px|thumb|right]]

Leaving Hot Rod and Arcee in command, Optimus led a strike team into Decepticon territory, managing to push into the control room of [[Croaton]] just as a hemisphere encompassing shield went up, cutting the strike team off from the other Autobots. Confronting Megatron, the tyrant called in his favour for helping save Cybertron before towering hostiles teleported in. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

Recognizing the hostiles as the [[Perfect Decepticon]]s that Megatron had sought to create, Optimus assumed them to be his foe's troops only for Megatron to reveal them as products of "the Other One." The invaders proved too powerful for standard weapons, forcing Optimus and Megatron to channel their multiverse energy to defeat them. When Optimus reiterated the destruction of the alternate Matrix, the Other One, [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]], arrived and reclaimed his Matrix. As Optimus cradled the deactivated Megatron, Bumblebee stole the alternate Matrix and flew off. Following, Optimus caught up with him just as the Other One had bonded with the artifact, engaging him in a duel of Matrices. Though he initially held the advantage, Optimus was steadily overcome by the invader before the psychic shard of Windblade sabotaged the alternate Matrix, allowing Prime's beam to paralyze the Decepticon. Before they could decide what to do with him, Astrotrain claimed his master and took him away into the multiverse as punishment for his abuse. Optimus was later present when Windblade made a full recovery, celebrating her return. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Optimus Primes were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. As short lived as his tenure as a Prime had been, Optimus' spirit persisted within the accumulated wisdom of the Matrix of Leadership. When the Matrix was stolen by another version of Megatron and brought to his universe, a psychic shard of the native Windblade wound up lodged in it. Greeting the cityspeaker, Optimus' spirit guided her to destroy the Matrix so she could save her universe. Presumably, Optimus' spirit was dissipated when Windblade followed his orders and destroyed the talisman from within. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, 2019)
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''B'''
: Released in the first Series of ''Cyberverse'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Optimus changes from semi-truck cab to robot and back in a few simple steps. He has a molded "attack" weapon, in his case a large panel from his truck mode becomes his left-arm-mounted energon axe in robot mode.

: Optimus was also released without changes in Series 2.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Scout Class, [[2018]])
**''Action Attack'': "Ion Blast"
:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Optimus Prime is a roughly Legends Class sized figure of Optimus Prime that transforms into a ''half-robot-half-truck thing'', also known as a "transformational mode". When he is transformed, an [[ion blaster]] flips onto his arm, representing his "Ion Blast" Action Attack... which looks as if he [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|has his own]] [[fusion cannon]] due to it being a humongous, arm-mounted cannon. Optimus also features one 5mm-compatible hand on his right arm. Perhaps he wants to have an optional weapon before pulling out the big gun?

**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack"
:Despite similarities in parts and proportions to the figure above, this ''Cyberverse'' Scout Class Optimus Prime is a new mold. His "Energon Axe Attack" is activated by pressing the rear wheels/legs in place, which unlocks the spring-loaded waist, swinging the torso to the left side. The right arm must face forwards before activation.

:Released as part of the second wave of 1-Step Changers, this ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, with the transformation engineering taking cues from the [[Megatron_(Movie)/toys#Robots_in_Disguise|''Age of Extinction'' Galvatron]] toy. His transformation is triggered when you depress a tab on the back of his wind vane and spin the wind vane a full 360 degrees, deploying his robot mode. Rotating the wind vane clockwise changes him back into a truck. He features articulation at his shoulders.

:Released as part of the first wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class lineup, this Optimus Prime is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts into a robot to truck and back. He also features a pop-out axe on his left hand when pushing his back after the gimmick is set up. Because of this, he has both no left hand and elbow articulation.

**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack" (Prime), "Cannon Charge" (trailer)
:This figure is an unchanged re-release of the ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime figure above, but with a trailer. The trailer can interact with Scout Class up to Warrior Class figures. It also features a "Cannon Charge" Action Attack, where small cannons flip out of the front of the Trailer. The Trailer, when folded open, has a turret that a Scout class figure can sit awkwardly on. A single Warrior Class (or smaller) car can be stored in the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Due to the Optimus figure itself being unchanged, the trailer attaches by his feet slotting into the front end of the trailer. As a result, only variations of this mold can pull it and it does not turn easily.

:Released in the 8th wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior class toys, this version of Optimus Prime now converts into a Cybertronian truck. He features bulkier proportions and retains an axe gimmick, though it now swings out from the side of his arm and is now on the opposite side compared to the first warrior class version. His axe attack is activated by pulling up and then pushing down the blue bar behind his head, rather than being button activated.

====Ultimate Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Ultimate-Class-Optimus-Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|[[:File:PDtype-Matrixattack.jpg|Matrix does not pop out with the effect part.]]]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate Class, 2018/2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Matrix Attack Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-06'''
**''Action Attack'': "Matrix Mega Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is a toy that transforms from a roughly Leader-sized robot to truck in around eleven steps. Articulation is somewhat limited for such a large toy, but sells at a cheaper price point as a trade-off. The arms have ratcheted elbows, a swiveling bicep, and shoulders that swivel forward and hinge outward. The legs have ratcheted hips and thigh swivels, plus a knee joint which is located further down the leg from the molded detail to facilitate transformation.

:His truck mode is largely based on his G1 design but with cues from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' vehicle mode]]. As such, it looks like a big red fist on wheels. The shoulder panels that sport his two Autobot [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]s fold forward to become his truck mode doors, hiding his faction symbols and therefore allowing this Optimus to be a better robot in disguise than most other Optimus Prime toys in existence.

:His "Matrix Mega Shot" Action Attack gimmick utilizes the Matrix of Leadership within the figure's chest. <ref name=io9>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 These New Transformers Cyberverse Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys] at io9.gizmodo.com</ref> This feature can be accessed in robot mode by pressing down just on his left clavicle, or in vehicle mode by pressing down on the top of the cab. In fact, you will likely deploy it on accident a lot due to how sensitive the button is, especially during transformation. Once deployed, it can be made to spin by rolling the truck mode forward (powered by the right front wheel) or by spinning the small red wheel on his robot mode side. This causes the clear blue "energy" details to open, revealing the Matrix underneath. This gimmick is gravity dependent, meaning it must be in the correct position to activate properly.

:Unlike the other simple-assembly wheels, the front right wheel activates the gimmick in vehicle mode due to the connection between the gimmick's hexagonal joints. Because of this, only 5 out of 6 wheels can smoothly roll unless you pull him backwards or push it down while rolling him forwards, which also activates the spinning matrix inside the truck's cavity. A running change was also added: The locking tabs are now modified to allow the Matrix to rotate back securely in one touch. Due to the weight of his torso, the hip ratchets can barely support an even wider A-stance due to the combined weight of the upper torso.

:Along with [[Megatron_(Cyberverse)#Ultimate_Class|Megatron]], Optimus Prime also saw a re-release in the third wave.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate Class, 2020)
**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack"

:This Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, utilizing a different transformation scheme. He also features both the Energon Axe action attack and a flip-out Armor triggered from his rear legs. This Optimus also features a unique transformation: Pulling out the Energon Axe when converted halfway unleashes the "twist-and-change" action consists of spinning his torso and arms in place. As a result, his upper limbs are very loose. This Optimus only features articulation on the forearms, while his pair of legs is a [[Brick (term)|brick]] as it was used to store the armor gimmick.

**''Japanese Release Date'': [[September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-16'''
**''Spark Armor'': "Sky Turbine"
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Optimus Prime is a smaller, Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to a smokestack-less truck. He also comes with a fighter jet accessory with built-in Gatling guns, which can form his battle armor in robot mode. Like all Elite Class toys, the accessory also comes with a unique built-in helmet. The wings automatically transform in place if the cockpit is folded down when combined with Optimus.

:The Sky Turbine is based on a swing-wing jet of made-up model, with some design details being reminiscent of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. It features large undercarriage Gatling guns and, satisfyingly, folding nose-cone landing gear. When folded down as armor, the guns unlatch and swing beside Prime's arms using a spring-loaded mechanism, and wings rotate 180 degrees with the jet exhausts becoming shoulder-mounted cannons. For extra stability, the heel supports on Optimus are extra long to support the weight of the armor. Unlike most Elite-class Spark Armor, there are no larger hands sculpted in. This Optimus Prime can also tow the Battle Base Trailer.

:While the promotional renders for the toy show a solid silver truck-mode grill, the actual toy has a red hinge arm in the middle. This is likely due to a planned [[paint operation]] being omitted from the final product.

**''Japanese Release Date'': [[November 9]], [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-23'''

:Released as the largest ''Cyberverse'' toy, Ark Power Optimus Prime is an all-new mold that features a completely different transformation from the Ultimate Class toy, albeit omitting the leg and head articulation. He also includes a large accessory that is modeled after the Ark, which also transforms into his battle armor with a molded blade for his gauntlet. The blade is stored in between the foot armor/engines of the Ark, which can itself be carried on the back of Prime's truck mode. Curiously, the box art depicts him with gauntlets for ''both'' arms, which may be connected with the gap in the front of the Ark.

**''Japanese Release Date'': [[August]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''01'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster, Effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Matrix Mega Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Optimus Prime is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with an Ion Blaster that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for his Matrix, which can be revealed by opening the chest panels. If you leave his feet untransformed, he can tow the battle base trailer. A hole in the back of his vehicle mode can use the effect part as a booster flame. Due to the transformation scheme, Optimus's robot mode features fake wheels on his back.

:In Japan, Optimus Prime is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-28" ID Number) with a February 2020 release date.

Like his sub-line's brethren, Optimus features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. He also comes with a sword and shield that is strongly reminiscent of his live-action film's counterpart's weapons.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Optimus_Prime-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Optimus Prime's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*All merchandise depictions (with the exception of two) have his [[energon-axe]] colored orange. The actual cartoon depiction, however, is blue.
*The Japanese version of Optimus Prime is voiced by the Japanese voice actor of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. This may be deliberate, as ''Cyberverse'' Megatron in Japanese is voiced by the Japanese voice actor of ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]].
*Optimus's Earth alternate mode appears to be a fictionalized {{w|Freightliner Argosy#Second generation (2012-present)|Freightliner Argosy}}, arguably the closest modern successor to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|the original Optimus Prime's]] Freightliner WFT-8664T altmode.

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves.

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for awhile, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for awhile before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade_(G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor 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, Grimlock knocking 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 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, Bumblebee 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, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of 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}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as Croaton, the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the enviroment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into [[Croaton]], Chromia saving him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Tiny Turbo Changers====
*'''Bumblebee''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, [[2019]])
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''A'''

:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs/car hood off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

:This new Bumblebee is an all new sculpt despite superficial similarities to the first scout toy. His attack gimmick causes rocket packs to flip from under his arms. Unlike the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists.

:This Bumblebee figure was originally slated to be released as the sole new figure in the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Power of the Spark'' [[subline imprint]]. However, that wave was ultimately never released anywhere in the world, and instead, the figure was eventually released as part of the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' subline imprint.

:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Patrol Mode" [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#PatrolMode|Bumblebee]], painted to disguise the fact that he's a completely different design, and transforms from robot to vehicle in a single step. He lacks the scannable roof insignia from the ''Robots in Disguise'' toy.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Turbo Change Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-01'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:This Bumblebee is an all-new mold, sharing the same transformation scheme with [[Drift_(AOE)#Turbo_Changers|Turbo Changers Drift]] from [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|the ''Last Knight'' toyline]]. His left arm also features a spinning Stinger gimmick.

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]

**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with an "Ocean Storm" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor's]] Sea Fury armor.

**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot attack"
:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Bumblebee is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to car and back. Like his sub-line brethren, Bumblebee features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. His shield can be separated into two blades to mount onto his forearms.

===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

[[File:CyberverseMegatron.jpg|thumb|300px|Don't tell him he doesn't have his back cannon, or he'll shoot the text down below!]]

'''Megatron''' is the tyrannical leader of the [[Decepticon]]s, being ruthless, cruel, and evil to the core. He was once friends with [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], though exactly how boggles the mind. He plans to achieve galactic domination, though his plans are often thwarted by the [[Autobot]]s.<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official ''Cyberverse'' website</ref>

[[File:Megatron - Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero promo.jpg|thumb|left|250px|There's a little of him in all of us.]]
Eons ago, Megatron was a [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial champion]] on Cybertron, besting numerous powerful opponents, including [[Devastator Maximus]] whose [[brain module]] he crushed. {{storylink|Trials}} While Megatron's raw strength served him well in the gladiatorial pits, it was his charisma which netted him a large following of admirers from all flocks of life. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Among his followers was [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]], a file clerk who began to author Megatron's speeches to his following. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At a rally, Megatron dubbed his movement '[[Decepticon]]s', and swore to create a new Cybertron that would bring equal rights to all citizens. As his power base grew however, Megatron's personality took a darker turn, eventually declaring [[Great War (Cyberverse)|open war]] on Optimus and his own followers. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

Among Megatron's early acts was the execution of the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Once [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] had captured Optimus Prime, she intended to ship him to Megatron until [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] freed his leader. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] attempted to defect from the Decepticons, Megatron followed him to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]] where he attempted to slay the traitor to serve as an example to others. Before he could however, [[Maccadam]] stormed into the room and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], the mere sight of it cowing Megatron into retreating. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Over the course of the war, Megatron would meet with Optimus several times to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict but the two were unable to come to a satisfactory compromise. {{storylink|Parley}} Megatron also befriended the poetic Decepticon [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

[[File:Cyberverse Decepticon Plankowners (Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero).jpg|thumb|300px|"Imagine seven million people all wanting to die together."]]
Once the Decepticons had taken [[Vector Sigma]], Megatron sought to use the supercomputer to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of loyal Decepticons. When Bumblebee discovered this, he was brought before Megatron who sadistically tore out the scout's [[voice box]] to prevent him from reporting what he'd learned. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Despite Megatron's best efforts, the Autobots did manage to learn of his plan, managing to seize the AllSpark and send it through a [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}}

In the year [[2007]], Megatron tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]], and sent [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]]'s [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] squad there to retrieve it. Catching wind of this intel, the Autobots on Cybertron sent [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to retrieve the artifact first only for her to come across the missing Bumblebee. Upon learning that her friend was suffering from amnesia, the [[cityspeaker]] attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to help him make sense of his memories. Among them was an undamaged memory of Megatron; however she was unable to access it before the patch malfunctioned and shut her out. {{storylink|Fractured}}

Once Windblade had begun making headway in fixing Bumblebee's mind, the scout began to remember Megatron in the earliest days of his revolution causing him to idealize the Decepticon leader as a hero. With Windblade's help however, he was able to remember the tyrant Megatron had become, being left to wonder how he could have ever considered the Decepticon someone to look up to. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Mad Megs (Cyberverse - Maccadam's).jpg|thumb|left|300px|"Now back there if you got a problem you tell Wally. And he tells everyone in town, brings it out in the open, no more problem."]]
After Slipstream had consistently failed in her mission, [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] hacked into Bumblebee's cortical psychic patch and trapped the scout in a false memory that painted him as a Decepticon spy aboard the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] who had sabotaged the ship at Megatron's direct order. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

When the [[Decepticon fleet]] invaded Earth, Megatron led the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] to the organic planet. {{storylink|Eruption}} {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}} The Cybertronians eventually became known to [[human]]kind. During a battle against Windblade, Megatron was caught on camera tripping over a powerline, winning the dubious honor of #3 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} During this time, he also dueled Optimus Prime at an industrial complex, their battle being observed by [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]]. {{storylink|Spotted}}

[[File:Cyberverse - Bad Moon Rising - Megatron Going Tank.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Just kids having fun.]]
Eventually, Megatron decided that Earth wasn't worth conquering and ordered a [[Planet Smasher]] built on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. When a battle broke out, Megatron first used his tank mode to shoot up the Autobots before Optimus Prime engaged him in melee combat, the Autobot managing to score a nasty gash on Megatron's right leg, prompting the tyrant to call Starscream for air support. Though his order went unheeded, Megatron managed to escape the battle and make it to the [[force field]]. After tossing Starscream around, he demoted him by making Slipstream the new leader of the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]]. When the Autobots brought down the Planet Smasher's force field, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to retreat into a lunar bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}}

In the bunker's control room, Shockwave activated his back-up plan of using [[planetary engine]]s to slam the moon into the Earth so they could find the AllSpark in the debris field. Content with the plan, Megatron tried to order Slipstream to guard the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] before his wound got the better of him. As he tried to get back up, a furious Starscream attacked him, firing all his [[missile]]s at point-blank range before beating the tyrant into [[stasis lock]], ordering that he be left behind when the control room was set to self-destruct. Surviving the explosion, though left heavily charred by it, Megatron made his way back to his flagship and enacted a swift and brutal vengeance against Starscream, ending with him firing the full might of his [[fusion cannon]] at the Seeker's back, deactivating him. After briefly regarding Starscream's prone form, he dumped the traitor's body out onto the lunar surface and ordered the Decepticons away from the moon. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Ordering his flagship down on an island, Megatron broadcasted a propaganda video to the human race regarding Starscream's demise, before he offered the position of [[second-in-command]] to whichever one of his troops brought him the head of Optimus Prime. When [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]] brought him the bound [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Megatron tried to use the Autobot as a bargaining chip with Optimus only for the youth to break free from his bonds and escape the ''Nemesis''. Though Megatron targeted the Autobot with the onboard weapons, he was distracted by the sight of a creature jumping through a [[GroundBridge]]. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

After every GroundBridge had been mapped, the AllSpark was located in [[Africa]], Megatron stepping through a portal to collect it. Finding not only that his troops had not accompanied him but Optimus waiting for him, Megatron briefly dueled his opposite before they were both greeted by Cheetor, Guardian of the AllSpark who subjected both leaders to the "the trials" to determine who was worthy of the AllSpark. After a failed knowledge trial, Cheetor granted each leader [[spark armor]], Megatron's formed from a helicopter, and they came to blows. Megatron eventually got the upper hand, pinning Optimus down for execution only for the Prime to hold him at gunpoint, being willing to kill them both. As this happened, no one noticed a still alive Starscream sneak in and steal the AllSpark until it was too late. Though he managed to save face with Optimus, Megatron returned to the ''Nemesis'' to commence a search for Starscream. {{storylink|Trials}}

As Shockwave tried to locate the missing Vector Sigma, the ''Nemesis'' came under attack from the Autobots, Megatron sending out his entire [[drone]] force to meet them. As Megatron dueled Optimus on the hangar deck, Cheetor loudly announced that the AllSpark was not on the ship, forcing Megatron to reveal the truth and cursing Cheetor, whose lunar GroundBridge had healed Starscream's otherwise fatal injuries. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

Agreeing to peace talks, Megatron had the ''Nemesis'' return to [[Mount St. Hilary]] for negotiations. Despite their soldiers' idiosyncrasies, Megatron and Optimus made initial strides only for discussions to abruptly end when Grimlock threw Shockwave through a wall and onto the negotiation table, Megatron ordering his troops away. {{storylink|Parley}}

When the ''Nemesis'' returned to its island, it came under attack from Starscream's [[scraplet]] horde. Fighting his traitorous second on the bridge, Megatron was paralyzed by the beasts but managed to send out a garbled distress signal. When Cheetor defeated Starscream and broke the paralysis, Megatron allowed the Autobots to go free. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}} As the ship was slowly repaired, Megatron chose to motivate Shockwave to speed up the process by threatening to replace him with Soundwave. Megatron soon came under attack from Shockwave's severed hand before the scientist himself arrived, presenting Megatron with a [[drone controller]] that he could use to control Starscream's creatures. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When Shockwave explained the perfected drone controller, the ''Nemesis'' came under attack from [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]]. Unamused, Megatron told the bombastic Autobot to go play somewhere else. Soon afterwards, a still alive Sky-Byte arrived, recounting the gloriousness of the civilizations he'd destroyed before requesting the Decepticons' aid to destroy Jetfire (offering Megatron the head). Though an appealing prospect to Megatron, he denied to get involved in favour of continuing their search for the AllSpark. Jetfire soon returned, now clad in spark armor, and abducted Megatron. When Optimus called to reveal he'd had a similar encounter with Sky-Byte, Megatron directed everyone to meet a colosseum. Encouraging the two arch-enemies to settle their feud once and for all, Megatron amusedly watched Jetfire and Sky-Byte kill each other even as their fight unearthed magma deposits. When Jetfire got the upper hand, Megatron encouraged the Autobot to strike the killing blow only for him to retreat back to the ''Ark'' so that Optimus' wounds could be tended to. As Sky-Byte climbed out of the hole, Megatron held him a gunpoint and forced him to reveal the AllSpark's location. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

When Sky-Byte led the Decepticons back to the GroundBridge nexus, Megatron again found the Autobots had beaten him there before an AllSpark empowered Starscream arrived, arresting everyone's motor functions and forcing them to bow before him. Unimpressed by the Seeker's pettiness, Megatron openly mocked his former second's incompetence and failing streak before the Seeker began extracting all their [[spark]]s. Salvation came when Optimus Prime unleashed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] on Starscream, blasting the AllSpark out of him. Quick to recover, Megatron retrieved the artifact only to be assaulted by the now feral scraplets, losing his hold on it. Megatron soon found himself fighting Grimlock, with their duel destabilizing the chamber. Though Megatron managed to initially kick the Dinobot away and make a last-ditch effort to get the AllSpark he was blindsided by the recovered Grimlock who sent him hurtling down a chasm. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

Detecting the launch of several [[Autobot shuttle]]s, Megatron ordered the ''Nemesis'' to meet them, deploying several [[Decepticon scout ship]]s to engage the smaller crafts. Though the Autobot ships were quickly destroyed, the AllSpark was not found in their debris field. Fortunately for the Decepticons, Sky-Byte had seen through the ruse and launched a one-bot attack on the ''Ark'', giving the ''Nemesis'' enough time to intercept. Ordering the ''Ark'' destroyed, Megatron unleashed the full might of the ''Nemesis'' on its Autobot counterpart only for Cheetor to heal it with the AllSpark allowing the nimbler ship to slip past. To prevent the Autobots from entering Earth's [[space bridge]], Shockwave used a hard-light [[hologram]] to simulate its destruction, the ''Ark'' instead rocketing off into deep space. Pleased with Shockwave's ploy, Megatron ordered the ''Nemesis'' through the portal and to Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

Megatron eventually managed to convert the [[Threshold of the Well]] into his personal fortress and capture [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], forcing her to send out a false distress call to the ''Ark'' by threatening to offline [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]]. When the Autobot ship emerged from Cybertron's space bridge, Megatron praised the Autobot femme before rallying his troops for battle. {{storylink|The Crossroads}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}}

As the ''Ark'' entered the atmosphere, Megatron ordered it destroyed via a [[laser snare]] before the Autobots revealed themselves to still be alive, having anticipated the attack. Ordering the whole of his army into action, Megatron led the charge in the final battle of the Great War, initially providing artillery with [[Alphastrike]] before he squared off against Optimus. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}} Optimus eventually managed to push past Megatron, only for the Prime to discover the scraplet trap that Megatron had laid. Pressing his advantage, Megatron pinned his foe against a wall before he called in upscaled, war-ready, versions of [[Shockwave's drones]], the war-beasts surrounding the Autobots. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

However, the Autobots managed to push past the drones, just as they both destroyed Vector Sigma and returned the AllSpark to Cybertron's core. Though Optimus declared this the end of the Great War, Megatron refused to surrender, and ordered Shockwave to destroy the AllSpark. While Shockwave was able to corrupt the artefact, Cheetor sacrificed himself to re-purify it, bringing life and peace back to Cybertron. Enraged, Megatron lunged at Optimus only to be sent flying back into his own scraplet trap. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

This would not be the end of Megatron, however. When the [[Quintesson]]s invaded Cybertron, Megatron was among the Transformers captured and subjected to their virtual reality as his spark was drained. Within the simulation, Megatron was Grand Marshal of a parade that celebrated his victory over the Autobots. When [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]] broke free, he found Megatron's body and tried to physically free him from the loop, to no avail. {{storylink|The Dead End}} Perceptor managed to free the Cybertronian race by hacking into the parade's source code and introducing a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]], everyone retreating from the compound to Maccadam's. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

Even after it was found that the Quintessons were draining the AllSpark to gestate their new [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], Megatron refused to fight alongside the Autobots. {{storylink|The Alliance}} Retreating to [[Iaconus]]'s stasis hold, Megatron was approached by Dead End who brought news that the Quintessons had the technology to traverse the [[multiverse]]. Eager to steal the [[multiverse drive]], Megatron joined in the attack on the Quintesson ship. When the group found the drive, they were confronted by the Scientist whom Megatron promptly shot dead only for the alien to reveal multiple backup bodies. Contemptuously blasting a path through them all, Megatron led [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] and Dead End to the Judge's escape ship where the two Decepticons threw out the Autobot before sailing away into the multiverse. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Travelling eternity, Megatron reformatted himself into a Cybertronian vehicle mode and gained the ability to manipulate exotic energy. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}} In one universe, Megatron encountered [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|a version of himself]] that had won the Great War. Horrified by his counterpart, Megatron stole his Matrix of Leadership, losing an optic in the process, and fled back to his native reality with his counterpart's servants, [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] and the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticons]]. {{storylink|Silent Strike}} Arriving back home to find that Starscream was the new Quintesson Judge, Megatron combined the power of his stolen Matrix with its local counterpart, their energy overwhelming Starscream and finally killing him. Knowing that his alternate self would come looking for him, Megatron declared a ceasefire and ordered the Autobots to one half of Cybertron while he and his forces would occupy the other. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

As Megatron began his preparations for the arrival of "the Other One", Bumblebee and [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] were discovered in Decepticon territory. Though Megatron was ready to execute them for this, Optimus pointed out that the Decepticons' holding of Windblade constituted its own treaty violation. Not having the time to deal with this, Megatron agreed to release the Autobots. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} When the former Autobot [[Wildwheel]] began making his way through Decepticon territory, Megatron confronted him when he caused a ruckus while riding on [[Kickback (Cyberverse)|Kickback]]. Hearing that Wildwheel wanted Optimus, Megatron led him to the border, across which he could find his former commander, and offered the turncoat a spot in the Decepticons if he survived. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}} To make ready for the coming fight, Megatron assigned Dead End and Astrotrain to construct a weapon capable of blasting its targets to [[Transwarp|unspace]]. {{storylink|Rack N' Ruin N' Ratchet}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Megatron.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

As the battle neared, Megatron attempted to have the spirits of the alternate [[Thirteen]] aid him to no avail. Despite acquiring a handheld version of the dimensional ray from Astrotrain, the Insecticons had decided to cut their losses and fled Cybertron. Returning to the control room, Megatron ordered the dimensional shields raised when the Other One's [[Perfect Decepticon]]s began teleporting in. Soon afterwards, the Autobots arrived, Optimus claiming that Megatron's Matrix had to be destroyed only for the tyrant to call in his favour for aid before a master race of Decepticons materialized. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

After explaining that the invaders were [[Perfect Decepticon]]s albeit under the command of the Other One, Megatron bestowed multiversal energy on his troops, allowing them to defeat the invaders. When another wave teleported in, Megatron blasted them to unspace using his personal dimensional ray. Lowering his guard, Megatron was then attacked by the Other One before he had the Matrix telekinetically ripped from his body, deactivating him. {{storylink|The Other One}}

:A second mold for One-Step Changer Megatron features an Action Attack which extends - but does not launch - a red blast effect from his cannon. His transformation consists of flipping his tank rear to the front to release his arms and chest. Inexplicably a large part of this mechanism on his underside is painted silver while the rest of the figure is flat grey plastic. It's possible this is due to the fact it was cast in the same red plastic as his cannon parts.

**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"
:This Megatron is an extensive retool of the original ''Cyberverse'' One-Step Changer, transforming into a Cybertronian tank as seen in the third season. The retooling includes a duel fusion cannon action attack, which slings both tank mode barrels over his shoulders and into firing position.

Due to the simplified transformation, Megatron's arms end up sticking out from his tank mode, and his hips & thighs are visible at the front, making his crotch ''vulnerable'' in vehicle mode.

: His lower legs have a tendency to fall off, as they are held in with nearly flat plastic nubs. The red paint on his mace arm has a tendency to flake with transformations, as does the black paint on the back of his hips.

**''Japanese Release Date'': July [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-07'''
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"

:''Cyberverse'' Ultimate Class Megatron is a roughly Leader Class-sized toy that transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot to tank in around eleven steps. He comes with a "Fusion Mega Shot" Action Attack gimmick,<ref name=io9>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 These New Transformers Cyberverse Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys] at io9.gizmodo.com</ref> which unfolds the cannon into an elongated pink barrel when the button to his left is pushed, reminiscent of a similar attack used by [[Megatron (Movie)|his live action counterpart]]. Additionally, he has an autotransforming head reveal activated when his waist is swing down, though his arms still need to be in turret mode for it to work correctly. Due to this feature, he has no neck swivel, despite the depiction in his stock render.

:Megatron is unusual for his size in lacking elbows. Otherwise, he features ratcheted swivels and outward hinges in his hips, hinged knees, and shoulders with forward and lateral joints. Despite his Fusion Cannon being permanently attached to his arm, his right fist still has a covered-up hole for 5 mm pegs. Due to his transformation scheme, Megatron can also achieve a "transformational mode" like his Scout Class toy.

:Unfortunately, some of the hips' ratcheting gear teeth had a tendency to snap off after many poses, which also forces Megatron to slightly lean forward, especially when he's in his Action Attack position.

:This toy is one of the items that was 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> Megatron also saw a re-release in the third wave.

**''Japanese Release Date'': October ???, [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-19'''
**''Spark Armor'': Chopper Cut

:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Megatron is a smaller, Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden new mold with more articulation that transforms from robot to a tank that is evocative of his Warrior Class toy, complete with ''vulnerable robot mode crotch'' in tank mode. He comes with his signature Fusion Cannon and a "Chopper Cut" Spark Armor accessory that is modeled after an attack chopper that can form battle armor in robot mode. Like all Elite Class toys, the accessory also comes with a unique built-in helmet. When flipping down the piece with the alternate head while attaching the Spark Armor, a spring-loaded gimmick is activated causing the propeller to spin and two additional arms to flip out, one with a built-in mace and the other you can attach the included Fusion Cannon to. This configuration causes the original robot arms to dangle awkwardly at the sides, but this can be remedied by bending the arms at the elbows to a 45-degree angle and rotating the lower arms until the fists point straight towards the back, streamlining the look of the armored robot mode. Much like the later Deluxe Class figure below, Megatron himself has a removable Fusion Cannon.

:In November 2019, Megatron was released as one of TakaraTomy Mall's ''Cyberverse'' "Christmas Set" offers along with Grimlock.

*'''Megatron''' (Deluxe Class, 2019)
**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's torso
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[August]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''02'''
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, 2-piece effect part, 2 missile pods.
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Mega Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Deluxe Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Megatron is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He also comes with an 2-piece effect part that is compatible with his Fusion Cannon and 2 missile pods that go on his turret sides and the sides of his legs.

:Megatron suffers from a number of design flaws: Some of his joints are loose (notably the head), while the arms and legs are prone to popping off during transformation. Early prototypes of the figure, as well as some promotional renders, gave him a smug-looking smirk while the final figure has a more neutral expression.

:In Japan, Megatron was released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he was intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-29" ID Number) with a February 2020 release date.

His hips and arms are articulated, making him the only one of the four ''Cyberverse'' Burger King figures with all three points of articulation being independently available.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Megatron-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Megatron's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design (at right) also used for his [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*Megatron speaks with a peculiar accent, somewhere between Irish and American. Perhaps this is the [[Tarn (polity)|Tarnian]] accent his [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|IDW incarnation]] was known for?
*Megatron's mace on the toys are pink, similar to [[:File:Mtmte2 shermandam.jpg|the Generation 1 cartoon's purple]]. The actual cartoon coloration in ''Cyberverse'', however, is red. This is similar to how on Optimus Prime's toys his axe is coloured orange, but in the cartoon is actually blue.
*The Japanese dub gives ''Cyberverse'' Megatron a similar personality to the Japanese dub version of ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. Unsurprising, considering they're voiced by the same guy. This could be deliberate, as the Japanese dub of Optimus Prime is voiced by the Japanese dub actor of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]].
*An unproduced concept saw Megatron's left forearm open into a large blaster.

===Foreign names===

'''Optimus Prime''' is the legendary leader of the [[Autobot]]s. With axe and hard light [[Autobrand]] shield in hand, he's taken on the [[Decepticons]] in more battles than you can count. As strong in mind as he is in body, Optimus' speeches and care for his men has led to him becoming widely respected. Even [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] acknowledges his former friend's prowess enough that he'll enter occasional negotiations for peace. He's good friends with [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], who is practically his right hand bot. If you're looking for a hero, then he's your bot.

However, this heroism is something that was thrust upon him. Feeling the weight of his reputation, Optimus occasionally finds himself unable to connect to his far more relaxed crew in times of celebration. In times of peace, he'd much rather contribute to restoration efforts than continue on as active leader, despite his popularity. Until that day, Optimus Prime is the best leader an Autobot could ask for, and the worst nightmare a [[Decepticon]] could imagine.

Once a mere file clerk, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Optimus was drawn to the charismatic [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s campaign for change, becoming one of his closest allies. During a meeting at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], Optimus assured Megatron he would author the speech Megatron was to give at their upcoming rally. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

At the rally, Optimus stood amongst Megatron’s closest allies as he unveiled the Decepticon movement. Though the rally was a success, Megatron's growing power began to reveal darker shades of his personality and ambition. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

Megatron eventually staged an attack on the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] killing all of the councillors save [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] who had Bumblebee bring Optimus to him. Though Optimus blamed himself for the war, Trion reassured his protege that he had done what he felt was right and stayed true to himself. Before he passed however, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto Optimus who accepted the talisman and became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Optimus made one last effort to peacefully negotiate with his old friend, asking him to end his hostilities and allow them to diplomatically resolve their issues. With neither Megatron or Optimus willing to bend to the other, Megatron declared [[Great War (Cyberverse)|open war]] on his once friend and his faction. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

As the war escalated, Optimus was captured by the notorious [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] who stashed him in an Energon warehouse. Before he could delivered, Optimus was rescued by Bumblebee and brought back to Autobot territory. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} Another adventure saw him personally carry a wounded [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] across a battlefield. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Optimus and Megatron had several peace talks during the war but never managed to come to an agreement. Witnessing one of these talks, [[Maccadam]] inspired Optimus to never lose hope, noting that a successful ceasefire would make all the failed attempts worth it. {{storylink|Parley}}

[[File:MatrixOfLeadership-OPglows.jpg|thumb|300px|left|"I HAVE THE POWER!"]]
After learning that the Decepticons sought to use [[Vector Sigma]] to reprogram the [[AllSpark]], {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} the Autobots planned to keep the artifact out of Megatron's reach by sending it through a [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]]. Though the Decepticons put up a fierce fight, the Autobots ultimately succeeded in their goal, Decepticon firepower caused the Space Bridge to collapse after the AllSpark was sent through, sending it to parts unknown. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Sometime later, Optimus and Bumblebee were being pursued by [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. After a short battle in the [[Grand Imperium]] resulting in the Seekers retreating, the pair reflected on Cybertron’s current state and how Optimus had failed to account for the debilitating effects that the AllSpark's absence would have on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Realizing the mistake he'd made in launching the artifact, Optimus ordered the construction of a new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel so that the AllSpark could be located and retrieved. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

When the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] was completed, it launched from Iacon. {{storylink|Fractured}} Among the Autobots joining him was Bumblebee, who shared a heartfelt goodbye with [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before Optimus called him to the ship. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

During their travels, the Autobots, running critically low on [[Energon]], stopped on a nearby planet in response to an Energon reading. Once there, they found a race of [[Cave monster|subterranean creatures]] that attacked them on sight. During the battle, Optimus realized the creatures fed off of Energon and ordered his troops to retreat. Despite the planet containing much needed Energon, Optimus insisted it be left alone, finding it too high a moral cost to damn the aliens to extinction merely to ensure their own survival. Instead, he ordered the entire crew to enter stasis to conserve power. {{storylink|The Journey}}
[[File:Cyberverse-Optimus-Energon-Scanner.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
On autopilot, the ''Ark'' made its way to [[Earth]] only to suffer a hull breach and crash, {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}} in [[Mount St. Hilary]], its sleeping passengers blissfully unaware of their ship's fate. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

This unintentional radio silence left many of the Autobots on Cybertron to question the fate of their missing comrades with Bumblebee's amnesia preventing him from answering Windblade's queries on Optimus's location. {{storylink|Fractured}} {{storylink|The Journey}}

Once [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] had hacked into Windblade and Bumblebee's [[cortical psychic patch]], he trapped the scout in a fake memory that painted both he and Optimus as deep-cover Decepticons who had sabotaged the ''Ark''. Realizing that Optimus would never commit such acts, Bumblebee managed to break free of the illusion. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

When Bumblebee's group had rediscovered the ''Ark'', [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] managed to reactivate the ship and revive the crew. As Optimus caught up with his friends, getting a hug from Bumblebee, Teletraan informed everyone that a [[Decepticon fleet]] was bearing down on their location. Not wasting a moment, Optimus led his crew outside so they could confront their foes. {{storylink|Eruption}}

Optimus eventually addressed the populace of Earth on television to make the Autobot-Decepticon war public knowledge, and vowed to protect the planet to the best of his ability. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} During this time, he also fought Megatron at a silo site. {{storylink|Spotted}} Later, he led the Autobots on an excursion to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to prevent the Decepticons from destroying the earth with his [[Planet Smasher]]. Optimus managed to overpower Megatron, forcing him to retreat, and he and the other Autobots managed to shut down the doomsday device. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} Before they could pursue the Decepticons into the subterranean caves, the [[planetary engine]]s the Decepticons had installed sprang to life and forced the moon on a collision course with Earth. Leaving a small team to work on deactivating the engines, Optimus lead his own squadron into the caves to secure the control room. Upon reaching their destination, the room self destructs, preventing them from disabling the engines. Fortunately, [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]], [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] manage to hack the system and reverse the engines, moving the moon back into stable orbit. Satisfied, Optimus announced their victory to the people of Earth, echoing his previous promise to protect the planet. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

After returning to Earth, Optimus showed interest in the potential of Wheeljack's new [[Hyper Fuel]] to move the ''Ark'' out of its resting place. He later decided the material was too unstable for use after an incident involving a hyperactive [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], one which he narrowly stopped through the use of Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. {{storylink|The Visitor}} Shortly thereafter, Optimus was contacted by Megatron, who was holding Hot Rod captive, and demanded Prime give his own life if he wanted to save the young Autobot. Prime was prepared to agree, but when Hot Rod managed to free himself and escape, Optimus rescinded his agreement. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

[[File:Cyberverse-Trials-PrimeArmor.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Now where have I seen this [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|before?]]]]
After analyzing the [[GroundBridge]]s appearing around the world to find their point of convergence, the Autobots sent Optimus through one to retrieve the AllSpark, where he found Megatron also arriving. Before they could clash, they were interrupted by [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]], the AllSpark's guardian, who granted them powerful new [[spark armor]] and pitted them against each other to win possession of the relic. While the two were distracted by the battle, Starscream snuck into the chamber and stole the AllSpark. Optimus, unaware of Starscream's new independence, accused Megatron of deceit and attempted to stop him, but Megatron escaped through another GroundBridge. Determined to prevent the Decepticons from misusing the relic, he convinced Cheetor to become their new ally and the two headed back to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Trials}}

After helping Cheetor make his acquaintance with the other Autobots, Optimus, along with Grimlock, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod, took Cheetor to the bridge, and had him explain his mysterious origins. After this explanation of his history, Optimus was determined to retake the AllSpark back from Megatron at all costs. To which, he led an assault on the ''Nemesis'', and sent Cheetor, along with Hot Rod and Bumblebee, to find the AllSpark. As both Optimus and Megatron fought one another, they were interrupted by Cheetor, who explained how this conflict was pointless as the AllSpark wasn’t on the Decepticon warship, when Optimus demanded an explanation from Megatron, he discovered how Starscream had broken away from the Decepticons and stole the AllSpark for himself. This led to Optimus and Megatron calling a truce, and possible alliance against Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

As Optimus prepared himself for negotiations with Megatron, he recalled a memory of Maccadam had encouraged him to never give up his diplomatic mindset until there was peace between all Cybertronians. This lesson would carry on into his latest attempts of negotiations with Megatron to discuss the danger of Starscream. Though initial strides were made, the underlying tensions between the two factions was triggered by the arrival of [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]], who had been trying to speak to Windblade but was killed by the Decepticons on the presumption that she was a traitor, leading to an all-out brawl. As a result, Megatron declared that there would be no peace between Autobots and Decepticons with Optimus declaring that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream alone. {{storylink|Parley}}

Not long after this, Optimus sent Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Windblade, and Cheetor to Starscream's lair, only to learn that the Decepticon had abandoned the base. Once they returned, however, they received an SOS from the ''Nemesis'', which in turn prompted Optimus and a small group of Autobots to investigate, in turn, they discovered that something had drained all the Decepticons of their Energon. They would eventually meet the culprits in the form of the [[Scraplet]]s, who managed to separate Optimus and Windblade from the rest of the group. As they made their way to the bridge, they saw Megatron laying on the ground, his Energon also drained. It didn't take long for the Scraplets to surround them and damage Optimus, it was then that Starscream revealed himself and explained his plan, and communed with the Scraplet who was supposedly [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] and explained how he wanted the Matrix of Leadership back. When Optimus refused, Starscream had their Energon completely drained, and was prepared to seize the Matrix, until he was bested by Cheetor, who managed to use the AllSpark to restore everyone and disable the Scraplets. However, he was unable stop Starscream from escaping with the AllSpark, it was then that Megatron permitted Optimus and the Autobots to leave. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

Optimus would then assign the Autobots to different tasks in hopes of finding Starscream and the AllSpark, but failed to account for Cheetor, who wasn’t acknowledged by the Autobot leader as he was working at one of the terminals on the ''Ark’s'' Bridge. Later, after hearing of Starscream’s attempt to kidnap Cheetor and Bumblebee, Optimus stated that Cheetor would make an excellent Autobot scout after hearing of his training as well. {{storylink|Spotted}}
[[file:Cyberverse-Optimus-Wounded.jpg|thumb|300px|darn leg cramps!]]
Later, the Autobot leader would be on the ''Ark'' when they were unexpectedly attacked, believing the intruder to be Starscream, Optimus rallied the Autobots to retaliate, only to be surprised when instead it was in fact [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], who wanted to challenge his mortal enemy, [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]]. Optimus told the Decepticon that Jetfire was destroyed, but Sky-Byte didn’t believe it, and escaped to find the ''Nemesis''. Not long after this, Optimus and the other Autobots would again be pleasantly surprised when the previously mentioned Jetfire appeared and went inside with the others to explain his long-running feud with Sky-Byte across the cosmos. But when the offer was made for Optimus and the other Autobots to help defeat the Decepticon once and for all, Optimus refused, stating that they had more important matters at hand, such as retrieving the AllSpark, and that it was Jetfire's choice on wether he wanted to save lives or destroy them.

Much later, Optimus was beaten down by Sky-Byte, who was infused with Spark Armor granted to him by Starscream and took the Autobot leader to a Colosseum. Jetfire had also brought Megatron there to meet with Sky-Byte to finish the feud. The ensuing battle would lead to Jetfire, Sky-Byte, and Optimus to fall into a cavern below, where Optimus was fairly wounded from the fall. In the end, Jetfire made the noble decision and rescued Prime before shedding his Spark armor, telling Optimus about the whereabouts of the AllSpark as they returned to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Guided by Jetfire to the GroundBridge Nexus, the Autobots were met by the Decepticons, themselves guided by Sky-Byte before Starscream arrived, now having merged with the AllSpark. As the Seeker tried to extract everyone's sparks, Optimus channeled the power of the Matrix of Leadership, blasting the AllSpark out of Starscream and ending his threat, though the act left Optimus in deep stasis. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As his mind shifted through visions brought on by the Matrix, Optimus was placed in the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sickbay as Hot Rod led the ship off Earth and towards the space bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' began bombarding the ''Ark'', the chaos awoke Optimus and he made his way to the bridge. Entering just after Shockwave had destroyed Earth's space bridge, Optimus ordered a course set for Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

When a C-Class emergency was raised in Hangar 7, Optimus came running only to find that his troops were having a victory party. Uncomfortable with such things, Optimus gave an awkward speech before he went to stargaze on the hull, being joined by Cheetor before Teletraan-X raised a genuine C-Class alarm. Working with Cheetor, Optimus discovered that Starscream had hacked Wheeljack's AllSpark emitter badges, overloading the Autobots who were wearing them. The trio fought their way to the AllSpark's containment device, Optimus smashing it to pieces to liberate his crew. With the festive mood ruined, Optimus made the ultimate sacrifice and did a little jig to get the party going once again. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When the ''Ark'' entered a thick debris field, Optimus ordered a new course plotted, even as Hot Rod, Bumblebee, and Cheetor went off for some solar-wave surfing. When the three returned, having managed to earn the ire of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] race, Optimus watched as Cheetor used the AllSpark to recreate the [[Sharkticon homeworld]]. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

On the bridge of the ''Ark'', Optimus was alerted to Windblade having stolen the AllSpark and made for a nearby planet. Taking Cheetor, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod with him, Optimus followed the cityspeaker through an an abandoned city, facing off against a horde of automated defences, as an entity guided Windblade to bring the AllSpark to the city centre. Though the quartet caught up to Windblade, they were too late to prevent her from opening the AllSpark. To their surprise however, the entity revealed itself as a [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Croaton]]. Revealing that the city was once a [[Cybertronian colonies|Cybertronian colony]], Croaton apologized for the trouble he'd caused before he returned the Autobots their shuttle and went on his way. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

Forty cycles after their departure from Earth, the ''Ark'' was struck by an EMP that immobilized all electromechanical systems, save [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Grimlock, and Teletraan who saved the ship from a supernova. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call came in from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], Optimus decided that they had to accelerate their return home. Finding a disused space bridge, Optimus ordered it repaired. When the portal activated however, it transported them all to [[Transwarp|unspace]], the void between universes. Teaming up with several multiversal counterparts to the ''Ark'', the Autobots used their AllSparks to return to their own universes, Optimus allowing himself a rare smile when the ''Ark'' entered Cybertronian orbit. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

As he sent Jetfire and Windblade to scout the planet, Optimus tried to make contact Chromia. Unable to raise her, Optimus began to suspect a trap. Ordering the ''Ark'' evacuated, Optimus set the ship on automatic and entrusted the AllSpark to Cheetor, ordering Bumblebee and Hot Rod to defend him and instructing the three not to enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until the Decepticons had been defeated. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

Once the ''Ark'' had been destroyed by a [[laser snare]], Optimus led his troops into battle. As he duelled Megatron, Optimus was targeted by Shadow Striker before Prowl took the shot at the cost of his life. Enraged, Optimus leapt at Megatron, swearing that this would be their final battle. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

Pushing past Megatron, Optimus tried to enter the Threshold only to find it swarming with scraplets, forcing him back before Megatron pinned him down and summoned gigantic war-capable versions of [[Shockwave's drones]]. Summoning his shield, Optimus attacked the drones but was forced back by their sheer mass. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Finding a second wind, Optimus managed to turn the tide of the battle against the drones before Windblade informed him that Vector Sigma had been destroyed. Once the AllSpark had been restored to the core, Optimus declared the Great War over before Megatron, through Shockwave, tried to destroy the AllSpark, Cheetor's sacrifice saving the world. In a rage, Megatron lunged at Optimus who sent him back into the scraplets. After barring Shadow Striker from aiding her master, before declaring that it was time for Cybertron to transform for the better. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]], Optimus serving as the Parade's grand marshal. {{storylink|The Loop}}

In the physical world, Hot Rod and Perceptor led the few free Cybertronians in a resistance. Though Perceptor pushed for Hot Rod to be a leader, he continued to doubt himself and tried to free Optimus to take command. Though Hot Rod made several attempts, even throttling his leader, Optimus could not overcome the Loop's programming. {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Optimus was later freed when Perceptor hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation. Optimus ordered his troops to roll out, their subsequent transformation freeing the Loop whereupon they retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

Upon being informed of the magnitude of the Quintesson threat, Optimus was quick to agree to allying with the Decepticons but could not have Megatron join them. When the resistance tried to blow up the Quintesson ship, Optimus towed a warhead to the craft. While the Cybertronians proved able to defeat the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]], they were overwhelmed by the savage Sharkticons, Optimus' warhead being detonated. The Cybertronians were saved when Windblade managed to partially rouse Iaconus, unearthing his massive arm. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Optimus and Megatron led a strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Optimus and Bumblebee holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} Ordering Bumblebee to remain by the portal, Optimus tried to rescue Wheeljack only to be delayed by the architectural shifts.{{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} Wheeljack eventually awoke and used his grappling hook to quickly reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the Prosecutors before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, who sought vengeance against Optimus for the Prime's crimes against him, before Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

As rebuilding commenced, Optimus focused his efforts on repairing the [[Grand Imperium]] before Jetfire and many others began asking for his advice and permission on their own reconstruction efforts. Hot Rod later informed Optimus of Bumblebee's mission in Decepticon territory, Optimus leading a force to the border. When they arrived, Megatron had surrounded Bumblebee, Whirl and Windblade, ready to execute them before Optimus argued that holding Windblade prisoner was a treaty violation. Having more urgent matters to attend to, Megatron released the prisoners. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} Optimus later struggled with a large pillar when he met the bombastic [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]], inducting the beastformer into the Autobots. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

While aiding in rebuilding [[Cobalt Springs]], Optimus was confronted by [[Wildwheel]], a former crew member of the ''Ark'' who had fallen from the ship as it entered Earth's orbit and felt abandoned by the Autobots, Prime in particular. Though Optimus attempted diplomacy, Wildwheel's anger led to him attacking a civilian, Optimus quickly downing him as a result. Optimus then offered the turncoat a fresh start only to be rebuked. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}}

To discover Megatron's goal, Optimus sent scouting parties into Decepticon territory, all finding nothing to report. When communicating with Jetfire however, the flier was struck by an unusual beam of energy, Optimus ordering [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] to find him. After the medic, along with [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]], had recovered Jetfire, Optimus congratulated the Autobots on a successful mission. {{storylink|Rack N' Ruin N' Ratchet}}

During a mission briefing, Optimus' consciousness was pulled into the Matrix where he reunited with Maccadam. Revealing himself to be [[Alchemist Prime]], the barkeep told Optimus that the last of Windblade's psychic shards was in the alternate Matrix of Leadership, an artifact that Optimus was to destroy. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne OptimusPrime.jpg|280px|thumb|right]]

Leaving Hot Rod and Arcee in command, Optimus led a strike team into Decepticon territory, managing to push into the control room of [[Croaton]] just as a hemisphere encompassing shield went up, cutting the strike team off from the other Autobots. Confronting Megatron, the tyrant called in his favour for helping save Cybertron before towering hostiles teleported in. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

Recognizing the hostiles as the [[Perfect Decepticon]]s that Megatron had sought to create, Optimus assumed them to be his foe's troops only for Megatron to reveal them as products of "the Other One." The invaders proved too powerful for standard weapons, forcing Optimus and Megatron to channel their multiverse energy to defeat them. When Optimus reiterated the destruction of the alternate Matrix, the Other One, [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]], arrived and reclaimed his Matrix. As Optimus cradled the deactivated Megatron, Bumblebee stole the alternate Matrix and flew off. Following, Optimus caught up with him just as the Other One had bonded with the artifact, engaging him in a duel of Matrices. Though he initially held the advantage, Optimus was steadily overcome by the invader before the psychic shard of Windblade sabotaged the alternate Matrix, allowing Prime's beam to paralyze the Decepticon. Before they could decide what to do with him, Astrotrain claimed his master and took him away into the multiverse as punishment for his abuse. Optimus was later present when Windblade made a full recovery, celebrating her return. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Optimus Primes were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. As short lived as his tenure as a Prime had been, Optimus' spirit persisted within the accumulated wisdom of the Matrix of Leadership. When the Matrix was stolen by another version of Megatron and brought to his universe, a psychic shard of the native Windblade wound up lodged in it. Greeting the cityspeaker, Optimus' spirit guided her to destroy the Matrix so she could save her universe. Presumably, Optimus' spirit was dissipated when Windblade followed his orders and destroyed the talisman from within. {{storylink|The Other One}}

:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Optimus Prime is a roughly Legends Class sized figure of Optimus Prime that transforms into a ''half-robot-half-truck thing'', also known as a "transformational mode". When he is transformed, an [[ion blaster]] flips onto his arm, representing his "Ion Blast" Action Attack... which looks as if he [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|has his own]] [[fusion cannon]] due to it being a humongous, arm-mounted cannon. Optimus also features one 5mm-compatible hand on his right arm. Perhaps he wants to have an optional weapon before pulling out the big gun?

**''Japanese Name'': '''Matrix Attack Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-06'''
**''Action Attack'': "Matrix Mega Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is a toy that transforms from a roughly Leader-sized robot to truck in around eleven steps. Articulation is somewhat limited for such a large toy, but sells at a cheaper price point as a trade-off. The arms have ratcheted elbows, a swiveling bicep, and shoulders that swivel forward and hinge outward. The legs have ratcheted hips and thigh swivels, plus a knee joint which is located further down the leg from the molded detail to facilitate transformation.

:His truck mode is largely based on his G1 design but with cues from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' vehicle mode]]. As such, it looks like a big red fist on wheels. The shoulder panels that sport his two Autobot [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]s fold forward to become his truck mode doors, hiding his faction symbols and therefore allowing this Optimus to be a better robot in disguise than most other Optimus Prime toys in existence.

:His "Matrix Mega Shot" Action Attack gimmick utilizes the Matrix of Leadership within the figure's chest. <ref name=io9>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 These New Transformers Cyberverse Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys] at io9.gizmodo.com</ref> This feature can be accessed in robot mode by pressing down just on his left clavicle, or in vehicle mode by pressing down on the top of the cab. In fact, you will likely deploy it on accident a lot due to how sensitive the button is, especially during transformation. Once deployed, it can be made to spin by rolling the truck mode forward (powered by the right front wheel) or by spinning the small red wheel on his robot mode side. This causes the clear blue "energy" details to open, revealing the Matrix underneath. This gimmick is gravity dependent, meaning it must be in the correct position to activate properly.

:Unlike the other simple-assembly wheels, the front right wheel activates the gimmick in vehicle mode due to the connection between the gimmick's hexagonal joints. Because of this, only 5 out of 6 wheels can smoothly roll unless you pull him backwards or push it down while rolling him forwards, which also activates the spinning matrix inside the truck's cavity. A running change was also added: The locking tabs are now modified to allow the Matrix to rotate back securely in one touch. Due to the weight of his torso, the hip ratchets can barely support an even wider A-stance due to the combined weight of the upper torso.

:Along with [[Megatron_(Cyberverse)#Ultimate_Class|Megatron]], Optimus Prime also saw a re-release in the third wave.

**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack"

:This Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, utilizing a different transformation scheme. He also features both the Energon Axe action attack and a flip-out Armor triggered from his rear legs. This Optimus also features a unique transformation: Pulling out the Energon Axe when converted halfway unleashes the "twist-and-change" action consists of spinning his torso and arms in place.

**''Spark Armor'': "Sky Turbine"
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Optimus Prime is a smaller, Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to a smokestack-less truck. He also comes with a fighter jet accessory with built-in Gatling guns, which can form his battle armor in robot mode. Like all Elite Class toys, the accessory also comes with a unique built-in helmet. The wings automatically transform in place if the cockpit is folded down when combined with Optimus.

:The Sky Turbine is based on a swing-wing jet of made-up model, with some design details being reminiscent of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. It features large undercarriage Gatling guns and, satisfyingly, folding nose-cone landing gear. When folded down as armor, the guns unlatch and swing beside Prime's arms using a spring-loaded mechanism, and wings rotate 180 degrees with the jet exhausts becoming shoulder-mounted cannons. For extra stability, the heel supports on Optimus are extra long to support the weight of the armor. Unlike most Elite-class Spark Armor, there are no larger hands sculpted in. This Optimus Prime can also tow the Battle Base Trailer.

:While the promotional renders for the toy show a solid silver truck-mode grill, the actual toy has a red hinge arm in the middle. This is likely due to a planned [[paint operation]] being omitted from the final product.

He also includes a large accessory that is modeled after the Ark, which also transforms into his battle armor with a molded blade for his gauntlet. The blade is stored in between the foot armor/engines of the Ark, which can itself be carried on the back of Prime's truck mode.

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Optimus Prime is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with an Ion Blaster that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for his Matrix, which can be revealed by opening the chest panels. If you leave his feet untransformed, he can tow the battle base trailer. A hole in the back of his vehicle mode can use the effect part as a booster flame. Due to the transformation scheme, Optimus's robot mode features fake wheels on his back.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Optimus_Prime-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Optimus Prime's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*All merchandise depictions (with the exception of two) have his [[energon-axe]] colored orange. The actual cartoon depiction, however, is blue.
*The Japanese version of Optimus Prime is voiced by the Japanese voice actor of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. This may be deliberate, as ''Cyberverse'' Megatron in Japanese is voiced by the Japanese voice actor of ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]].
*Optimus's Earth alternate mode appears to be a fictionalized {{w|Freightliner Argosy#Second generation (2012-present)|Freightliner Argosy}}, arguably the closest modern successor to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|the original Optimus Prime's]] Freightliner WFT-8664T altmode.

'''Optimus Prime''' is the legendary leader of the [[Autobot]]s. With axe and hard light [[Autobrand]] shield in hand, he's taken on the [[Decepticons]] in more battles than you can count. As strong in mind as he is in body, Optimus' speeches and care for his men has led to him becoming widely respected. Even [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] acknowledges his former friend's prowess enough that he'll enter occasional negotiations for peace. He's good friends with [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], who is practically his right hand bot. If you're looking for a hero, then he's your bot.

However, this heroism is something that was thrust upon him. Feeling the weight of his reputation, Optimus occasionally finds himself unable to connect to his far more relaxed crew in times of celebration. In times of peace, he'd much rather contribute to restoration efforts than continue on as active leader, despite his popularity. Until that day, Optimus Prime is the best leader an Autobot could ask for, and the worst nightmare a [[Decepticon]] could imagine.

[[File:We Want The Same Thing (Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero promo).jpg|thumb|300px|"So are we on for our regular Scrabble night?"]]
Once a mere file clerk, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Optimus was drawn to the charismatic [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s campaign for change, becoming one of his closest allies. During a meeting at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], Optimus assured Megatron he would author the speech Megatron was to give at their upcoming rally. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

At the rally, Optimus stood amongst Megatron’s closest allies as he unveiled the Decepticon movement. Though the rally was a success, Megatron's growing power began to reveal darker shades of his personality and ambition. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

Megatron eventually staged an attack on the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] killing all of the councillors save [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] who had Bumblebee bring Optimus to him. Though Optimus blamed himself for the war, Trion reassured his protege that he had done what he felt was right and stayed true to himself. Before he passed however, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto Optimus who accepted the talisman and became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Optimus made one last effort to peacefully negotiate with his old friend, asking him to end his hostilities and allow them to diplomatically resolve their issues. With neither Megatron or Optimus willing to bend to the other, Megatron declared [[Great War (Cyberverse)|open war]] on his once friend and his faction. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

As the war escalated, Optimus was captured by the notorious [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] who stashed him in an Energon warehouse. Before he could delivered, Optimus was rescued by Bumblebee and brought back to Autobot territory. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} Another adventure saw him personally carry a wounded [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] across a battlefield. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Optimus and Megatron had several peace talks during the war but never managed to come to an agreement. Witnessing one of these talks, [[Maccadam]] inspired Optimus to never lose hope, noting that a successful ceasefire would make all the failed attempts worth it. {{storylink|Parley}}

[[File:MatrixOfLeadership-OPglows.jpg|thumb|300px|left|"I HAVE THE POWER!"]]
After learning that the Decepticons sought to use [[Vector Sigma]] to reprogram the [[AllSpark]], {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} the Autobots planned to keep the artifact out of Megatron's reach by sending it through a [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]]. Though the Decepticons put up a fierce fight, the Autobots ultimately succeeded in their goal, Decepticon firepower caused the Space Bridge to collapse after the AllSpark was sent through, sending it to parts unknown. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Sometime later, Optimus and Bumblebee were being pursued by [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. After a short battle in the [[Grand Imperium]] resulting in the Seekers retreating, the pair reflected on Cybertron’s current state and how Optimus had failed to account for the debilitating effects that the AllSpark's absence would have on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Realizing the mistake he'd made in launching the artifact, Optimus ordered the construction of a new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel so that the AllSpark could be located and retrieved. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

When the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] was completed, it launched from Iacon. {{storylink|Fractured}} Among the Autobots joining him was Bumblebee, who shared a heartfelt goodbye with [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before Optimus called him to the ship. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

During their travels, the Autobots, running critically low on [[Energon]], stopped on a nearby planet in response to an Energon reading. Once there, they found a race of [[Cave monster|subterranean creatures]] that attacked them on sight. During the battle, Optimus realized the creatures fed off of Energon and ordered his troops to retreat. Despite the planet containing much needed Energon, Optimus insisted it be left alone, finding it too high a moral cost to damn the aliens to extinction merely to ensure their own survival. Instead, he ordered the entire crew to enter stasis to conserve power. {{storylink|The Journey}}
[[File:Cyberverse-Optimus-Energon-Scanner.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
On autopilot, the ''Ark'' made its way to [[Earth]] only to suffer a hull breach and crash, {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}} in [[Mount St. Hilary]], its sleeping passengers blissfully unaware of their ship's fate. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

This unintentional radio silence left many of the Autobots on Cybertron to question the fate of their missing comrades with Bumblebee's amnesia preventing him from answering Windblade's queries on Optimus's location. {{storylink|Fractured}} {{storylink|The Journey}}

Once [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] had hacked into Windblade and Bumblebee's [[cortical psychic patch]], he trapped the scout in a fake memory that painted both he and Optimus as deep-cover Decepticons who had sabotaged the ''Ark''. Realizing that Optimus would never commit such acts, Bumblebee managed to break free of the illusion. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

When Bumblebee's group had rediscovered the ''Ark'', [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] managed to reactivate the ship and revive the crew. As Optimus caught up with his friends, getting a hug from Bumblebee, Teletraan informed everyone that a [[Decepticon fleet]] was bearing down on their location. Not wasting a moment, Optimus led his crew outside so they could confront their foes. {{storylink|Eruption}}

Optimus eventually addressed the populace of Earth on television to make the Autobot-Decepticon war public knowledge, and vowed to protect the planet to the best of his ability. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} During this time, he also fought Megatron at a silo site. {{storylink|Spotted}} Later, he led the Autobots on an excursion to the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to prevent the Decepticons from destroying the earth with his [[Planet Smasher]]. Optimus managed to overpower Megatron, forcing him to retreat, and he and the other Autobots managed to shut down the doomsday device. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} Before they could pursue the Decepticons into the subterranean caves, the [[planetary engine]]s the Decepticons had installed sprang to life and forced the moon on a collision course with Earth. Leaving a small team to work on deactivating the engines, Optimus lead his own squadron into the caves to secure the control room. Upon reaching their destination, the room self destructs, preventing them from disabling the engines. Fortunately, [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]], [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] manage to hack the system and reverse the engines, moving the moon back into stable orbit. Satisfied, Optimus announced their victory to the people of Earth, echoing his previous promise to protect the planet. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

After returning to Earth, Optimus showed interest in the potential of Wheeljack's new [[Hyper Fuel]] to move the ''Ark'' out of its resting place. He later decided the material was too unstable for use after an incident involving a hyperactive [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], one which he narrowly stopped through the use of Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. {{storylink|The Visitor}} Shortly thereafter, Optimus was contacted by Megatron, who was holding Hot Rod captive, and demanded Prime give his own life if he wanted to save the young Autobot. Prime was prepared to agree, but when Hot Rod managed to free himself and escape, Optimus rescinded his agreement. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

[[File:Cyberverse-Trials-PrimeArmor.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Now where have I seen this [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|before?]]]]
After analyzing the [[GroundBridge]]s appearing around the world to find their point of convergence, the Autobots sent Optimus through one to retrieve the AllSpark, where he found Megatron also arriving. Before they could clash, they were interrupted by [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]], the AllSpark's guardian, who granted them powerful new [[spark armor]] and pitted them against each other to win possession of the relic. While the two were distracted by the battle, Starscream snuck into the chamber and stole the AllSpark. Optimus, unaware of Starscream's new independence, accused Megatron of deceit and attempted to stop him, but Megatron escaped through another GroundBridge. Determined to prevent the Decepticons from misusing the relic, he convinced Cheetor to become their new ally and the two headed back to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Trials}}

After helping Cheetor make his acquaintance with the other Autobots, Optimus, along with Grimlock, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod, took Cheetor to the bridge, and had him explain his mysterious origins. After this explanation of his history, Optimus was determined to retake the AllSpark back from Megatron at all costs. To which, he led an assault on the ''Nemesis'', and sent Cheetor, along with Hot Rod and Bumblebee, to find the AllSpark. As both Optimus and Megatron fought one another, they were interrupted by Cheetor, who explained how this conflict was pointless as the AllSpark wasn’t on the Decepticon warship, when Optimus demanded an explanation from Megatron, he discovered how Starscream had broken away from the Decepticons and stole the AllSpark for himself. This led to Optimus and Megatron calling a truce, and possible alliance against Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

As Optimus prepared himself for negotiations with Megatron, he recalled a memory of Maccadam had encouraged him to never give up his diplomatic mindset until there was peace between all Cybertronians. This lesson would carry on into his latest attempts of negotiations with Megatron to discuss the danger of Starscream. Though initial strides were made, the underlying tensions between the two factions was triggered by the arrival of [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]], who had been trying to speak to Windblade but was killed by the Decepticons on the presumption that she was a traitor, leading to an all-out brawl. As a result, Megatron declared that there would be no peace between Autobots and Decepticons with Optimus declaring that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream alone. {{storylink|Parley}}

Not long after this, Optimus sent Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Windblade, and Cheetor to Starscream's lair, only to learn that the Decepticon had abandoned the base. Once they returned, however, they received an SOS from the ''Nemesis'', which in turn prompted Optimus and a small group of Autobots to investigate, in turn, they discovered that something had drained all the Decepticons of their Energon. They would eventually meet the culprits in the form of the [[Scraplet]]s, who managed to separate Optimus and Windblade from the rest of the group. As they made their way to the bridge, they saw Megatron laying on the ground, his Energon also drained. It didn't take long for the Scraplets to surround them and damage Optimus, it was then that Starscream revealed himself and explained his plan, and communed with the Scraplet who was supposedly [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] and explained how he wanted the Matrix of Leadership back. When Optimus refused, Starscream had their Energon completely drained, and was prepared to seize the Matrix, until he was bested by Cheetor, who managed to use the AllSpark to restore everyone and disable the Scraplets. However, he was unable stop Starscream from escaping with the AllSpark, it was then that Megatron permitted Optimus and the Autobots to leave. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

Optimus would then assign the Autobots to different tasks in hopes of finding Starscream and the AllSpark, but failed to account for Cheetor, who wasn’t acknowledged by the Autobot leader as he was working at one of the terminals on the ''Ark’s'' Bridge. Later, after hearing of Starscream’s attempt to kidnap Cheetor and Bumblebee, Optimus stated that Cheetor would make an excellent Autobot scout after hearing of his training as well. {{storylink|Spotted}}
[[file:Cyberverse-Optimus-Wounded.jpg|thumb|300px|darn leg cramps!]]
Later, the Autobot leader would be on the ''Ark'' when they were unexpectedly attacked, believing the intruder to be Starscream, Optimus rallied the Autobots to retaliate, only to be surprised when instead it was in fact [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], who wanted to challenge his mortal enemy, [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]]. Optimus told the Decepticon that Jetfire was destroyed, but Sky-Byte didn’t believe it, and escaped to find the ''Nemesis''. Not long after this, Optimus and the other Autobots would again be pleasantly surprised when the previously mentioned Jetfire appeared and went inside with the others to explain his long-running feud with Sky-Byte across the cosmos. But when the offer was made for Optimus and the other Autobots to help defeat the Decepticon once and for all, Optimus refused, stating that they had more important matters at hand, such as retrieving the AllSpark, and that it was Jetfire's choice on wether he wanted to save lives or destroy them.

Much later, Optimus was beaten down by Sky-Byte, who was infused with Spark Armor granted to him by Starscream and took the Autobot leader to a Colosseum. Jetfire had also brought Megatron there to meet with Sky-Byte to finish the feud. The ensuing battle would lead to Jetfire, Sky-Byte, and Optimus to fall into a cavern below, where Optimus was fairly wounded from the fall. In the end, Jetfire made the noble decision and rescued Prime before shedding his Spark armor, telling Optimus about the whereabouts of the AllSpark as they returned to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Guided by Jetfire to the GroundBridge Nexus, the Autobots were met by the Decepticons, themselves guided by Sky-Byte before Starscream arrived, now having merged with the AllSpark. As the Seeker tried to extract everyone's sparks, Optimus channeled the power of the Matrix of Leadership, blasting the AllSpark out of Starscream and ending his threat, though the act left Optimus in deep stasis. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As his mind shifted through visions brought on by the Matrix, Optimus was placed in the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sickbay as Hot Rod led the ship off Earth and towards the space bridge. When the ''Nemesis'' began bombarding the ''Ark'', the chaos awoke Optimus and he made his way to the bridge. Entering just after Shockwave had destroyed Earth's space bridge, Optimus ordered a course set for Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

When a C-Class emergency was raised in Hangar 7, Optimus came running only to find that his troops were having a victory party. Uncomfortable with such things, Optimus gave an awkward speech before he went to stargaze on the hull, being joined by Cheetor before Teletraan-X raised a genuine C-Class alarm. Working with Cheetor, Optimus discovered that Starscream had hacked Wheeljack's AllSpark emitter badges, overloading the Autobots who were wearing them. The trio fought their way to the AllSpark's containment device, Optimus smashing it to pieces to liberate his crew. With the festive mood ruined, Optimus made the ultimate sacrifice and did a little jig to get the party going once again. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When the ''Ark'' entered a thick debris field, Optimus ordered a new course plotted, even as Hot Rod, Bumblebee, and Cheetor went off for some solar-wave surfing. When the three returned, having managed to earn the ire of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] race, Optimus watched as Cheetor used the AllSpark to recreate the [[Sharkticon homeworld]]. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

On the bridge of the ''Ark'', Optimus was alerted to Windblade having stolen the AllSpark and made for a nearby planet. Taking Cheetor, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod with him, Optimus followed the cityspeaker through an an abandoned city, facing off against a horde of automated defences, as an entity guided Windblade to bring the AllSpark to the city centre. Though the quartet caught up to Windblade, they were too late to prevent her from opening the AllSpark. To their surprise however, the entity revealed itself as a [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Croaton]]. Revealing that the city was once a [[Cybertronian colonies|Cybertronian colony]], Croaton apologized for the trouble he'd caused before he returned the Autobots their shuttle and went on his way. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

Forty cycles after their departure from Earth, the ''Ark'' was struck by an EMP that immobilized all electromechanical systems, save [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Grimlock, and Teletraan who saved the ship from a supernova. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call came in from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], Optimus decided that they had to accelerate their return home. Finding a disused space bridge, Optimus ordered it repaired. When the portal activated however, it transported them all to [[Transwarp|unspace]], the void between universes. Teaming up with several multiversal counterparts to the ''Ark'', the Autobots used their AllSparks to return to their own universes, Optimus allowing himself a rare smile when the ''Ark'' entered Cybertronian orbit. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

As he sent Jetfire and Windblade to scout the planet, Optimus tried to make contact Chromia. Unable to raise her, Optimus began to suspect a trap. Ordering the ''Ark'' evacuated, Optimus set the ship on automatic and entrusted the AllSpark to Cheetor, ordering Bumblebee and Hot Rod to defend him and instructing the three not to enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until the Decepticons had been defeated. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

Once the ''Ark'' had been destroyed by a [[laser snare]], Optimus led his troops into battle. As he duelled Megatron, Optimus was targeted by Shadow Striker before Prowl took the shot at the cost of his life. Enraged, Optimus leapt at Megatron, swearing that this would be their final battle. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

Pushing past Megatron, Optimus tried to enter the Threshold only to find it swarming with scraplets, forcing him back before Megatron pinned him down and summoned gigantic war-capable versions of [[Shockwave's drones]]. Summoning his shield, Optimus attacked the drones but was forced back by their sheer mass. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Finding a second wind, Optimus managed to turn the tide of the battle against the drones before Windblade informed him that Vector Sigma had been destroyed. Once the AllSpark had been restored to the core, Optimus declared the Great War over before Megatron, through Shockwave, tried to destroy the AllSpark, Cheetor's sacrifice saving the world. In a rage, Megatron lunged at Optimus who sent him back into the scraplets. After barring Shadow Striker from aiding her master, before declaring that it was time for Cybertron to transform for the better. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]], Optimus serving as the Parade's grand marshal. {{storylink|The Loop}}

In the physical world, Hot Rod and Perceptor led the few free Cybertronians in a resistance. Though Perceptor pushed for Hot Rod to be a leader, he continued to doubt himself and tried to free Optimus to take command. Though Hot Rod made several attempts, even throttling his leader, Optimus could not overcome the Loop's programming. {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Optimus was later freed when Perceptor hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation. Optimus ordered his troops to roll out, their subsequent transformation freeing the Loop whereupon they retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

Upon being informed of the magnitude of the Quintesson threat, Optimus was quick to agree to allying with the Decepticons but could not have Megatron join them. When the resistance tried to blow up the Quintesson ship, Optimus towed a warhead to the craft. While the Cybertronians proved able to defeat the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]], they were overwhelmed by the savage Sharkticons, Optimus' warhead being detonated. The Cybertronians were saved when Windblade managed to partially rouse Iaconus, unearthing his massive arm. {{storylink|The Alliance}}

When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Optimus and Megatron led a strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Optimus and Bumblebee holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} Ordering Bumblebee to remain by the portal, Optimus tried to rescue Wheeljack only to be delayed by the architectural shifts.{{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} Wheeljack eventually awoke and used his grappling hook to quickly reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the Prosecutors before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, who sought vengeance against Optimus for the Prime's crimes against him, before Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

As rebuilding commenced, Optimus focused his efforts on repairing the [[Grand Imperium]] before Jetfire and many others began asking for his advice and permission on their own reconstruction efforts. Hot Rod later informed Optimus of Bumblebee's mission in Decepticon territory, Optimus leading a force to the border. When they arrived, Megatron had surrounded Bumblebee, Whirl and Windblade, ready to execute them before Optimus argued that holding Windblade prisoner was a treaty violation. Having more urgent matters to attend to, Megatron released the prisoners. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} Optimus later struggled with a large pillar when he met the bombastic [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]], inducting the beastformer into the Autobots. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

While aiding in rebuilding [[Cobalt Springs]], Optimus was confronted by [[Wildwheel]], a former crew member of the ''Ark'' who had fallen from the ship as it entered Earth's orbit and felt abandoned by the Autobots, Prime in particular. Though Optimus attempted diplomacy, Wildwheel's anger led to him attacking a civilian, Optimus quickly downing him as a result. Optimus then offered the turncoat a fresh start only to be rebuked. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}}

To discover Megatron's goal, Optimus sent scouting parties into Decepticon territory, all finding nothing to report. When communicating with Jetfire however, the flier was struck by an unusual beam of energy, Optimus ordering [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] to find him. After the medic, along with [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]], had recovered Jetfire, Optimus congratulated the Autobots on a successful mission. {{storylink|Rack N' Ruin N' Ratchet}}

During a mission briefing, Optimus' consciousness was pulled into the Matrix where he reunited with Maccadam. Revealing himself to be [[Alchemist Prime]], the barkeep told Optimus that the last of Windblade's psychic shards was in the alternate Matrix of Leadership, an artifact that Optimus was to destroy. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}

Leaving Hot Rod and Arcee in command, Optimus led a strike team into Decepticon territory, managing to push into the control room of [[Croaton]] just as a hemisphere encompassing shield went up, cutting the strike team off from the other Autobots. Confronting Megatron, the tyrant called in his favour for helping save Cybertron before towering hostiles teleported in. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne OptimusPrime.jpg|280px|thumb|right]]

Recognizing the hostiles as the [[Perfect Decepticon]]s that Megatron had sought to create, Optimus assumed them to be his foe's troops only for Megatron to reveal them as products of "the Other One." The invaders proved too powerful for standard weapons, forcing Optimus and Megatron to channel their multiverse energy to defeat them. When Optimus reiterated the destruction of the alternate Matrix, the Other One, [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]], arrived and reclaimed his Matrix. As Optimus cradled the deactivated Megatron, Bumblebee stole the alternate Matrix and flew off. Following, Optimus caught up with him just as the Other One had bonded with the artifact, engaging him in a duel of Matrices. Though he initially held the advantage, Optimus was steadily overcome by the invader before the psychic shard of Windblade sabotaged the alternate Matrix, allowing Prime's beam to paralyze the Decepticon. Before they could decide what to do with him, Astrotrain claimed his master and took him away into the multiverse as punishment for his abuse. Optimus was later present when Windblade made a full recovery, celebrating her return. {{storylink|The Other One}}

A series of multiversal Optimus Primes were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. As short lived as his tenure as a Prime had been, Optimus' spirit persisted within the accumulated wisdom of the Matrix of Leadership. When the Matrix was stolen by another version of Megatron and brought to his universe, a psychic shard of the native Windblade wound up lodged in it. Greeting the cityspeaker, Optimus' spirit guided her to destroy the Matrix so she could save her universe. Presumably, Optimus' spirit was dissipated when Windblade followed his orders and destroyed the talisman from within. {{storylink|The Other One}}

[[File:Cyberverse-Optimus-Turbo-Charger.jpg|thumb|300px|Listen, this is great and all, but what happened to my arms?]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, 2019)
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''B'''
: Released in the first Series of ''Cyberverse'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Optimus changes from semi-truck cab to robot and back in a few simple steps. He has a molded "attack" weapon, in his case a large panel from his truck mode becomes his left-arm-mounted energon axe in robot mode.

: Optimus was also released without changes in Series 2.

====Scout Class====
[[File:Cyberverse-Scout-Class-Optimus-Prime.jpg|thumb|300px|'''That''' looks like it's gotta hurt.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Scout Class, [[2018]])
**''Action Attack'': "Ion Blast"
:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Optimus Prime is a roughly Legends Class sized figure of Optimus Prime that transforms into a ''half-robot-half-truck thing'', also known as a "transformational mode". When he is transformed, an [[ion blaster]] flips onto his arm, representing his "Ion Blast" Action Attack... which looks as if he [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|has his own]] [[fusion cannon]] due to it being a humongous, arm-mounted cannon. Optimus also features one 5mm-compatible hand on his right arm. Perhaps he wants to have an optional weapon before pulling out the big gun?

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Scout Class, [[2019]])
**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack"
:Despite similarities in parts and proportions to the figure above, this ''Cyberverse'' Scout Class Optimus Prime is a new mold. His "Energon Axe Attack" is activated by pressing the rear wheels/legs in place, which unlocks the spring-loaded waist, swinging the torso to the left side. The right arm must face forwards before activation.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1-Step Changer, 2018)
:Released as part of the second wave of 1-Step Changers, this ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, with the transformation engineering taking cues from the [[Megatron_(Movie)/toys#Robots_in_Disguise|''Age of Extinction'' Galvatron]] toy. His transformation is triggered when you depress a tab on the back of his wind vane and spin the wind vane a full 360 degrees, deploying his robot mode. Rotating the wind vane clockwise changes him back into a truck. He features articulation at his shoulders.

**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack"
:This ''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, using the same transformation scheme as [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#OneStep|''Age of Extinction'' Optimus Prime]]. He also features an "Energon Axe Attack" Action Attack gimmick, which can be "wielded" horizontally or vertically. He is also slightly taller than the previous One-Step changer.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack"
:Released as part of the first wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class lineup, this Optimus Prime is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts into a robot to truck and back. He also features a pop-out axe on his left hand when pushing his back after the gimmick is set up. Because of this, he has both no left hand and elbow articulation.

:Other promo photos of the product depict him having [[:File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Class-Optimus-Prime-Painted-Smokestacks.jpg|painted smokestacks]] which are not featured in the final product.

*'''Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer''' (playset, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack" (Prime), "Cannon Charge" (trailer)
:This figure is an unchanged re-release of the ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime figure above, but with a trailer. The trailer can interact with Scout Class up to Warrior Class figures. It also features a "Cannon Charge" Action Attack, where small cannons flip out of the front of the Trailer. The Trailer, when folded open, has a turret that a Scout class figure can sit awkwardly on. A single Warrior Class (or smaller) car can be stored in the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Due to the Optimus figure itself being unchanged, the trailer attaches by his feet slotting into the front end of the trailer. As a result, only variations of this mold can pull it and it does not turn easily.

:Released in the 8th wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior class toys, this version of Optimus Prime now converts into a Cybertronian truck. He features bulkier proportions and retains an axe gimmick, though it now swings out from the side of his arm and is now on the opposite side compared to the first warrior class version. His axe attack is activated by pulling up and then pushing down the blue bar behind his head, rather than being button activated.

====Ultimate Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Ultimate-Class-Optimus-Prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|[[:File:PDtype-Matrixattack.jpg|Matrix does not pop out with the effect part.]]]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate Class, 2018/2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Matrix Attack Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-06'''
**''Action Attack'': "Matrix Mega Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is a toy that transforms from a roughly Leader-sized robot to truck in around eleven steps. Articulation is somewhat limited for such a large toy, but sells at a cheaper price point as a trade-off. The arms have ratcheted elbows, a swiveling bicep, and shoulders that swivel forward and hinge outward. The legs have ratcheted hips and thigh swivels, plus a knee joint which is located further down the leg from the molded detail to facilitate transformation.

:His truck mode is largely based on his G1 design but with cues from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' vehicle mode]]. As such, it looks like a big red fist on wheels. The shoulder panels that sport his two Autobot [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]s fold forward to become his truck mode doors, hiding his faction symbols and therefore allowing this Optimus to be a better robot in disguise than most other Optimus Prime toys in existence.

:His "Matrix Mega Shot" Action Attack gimmick utilizes the Matrix of Leadership within the figure's chest. <ref name=io9>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 These New Transformers Cyberverse Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys] at io9.gizmodo.com</ref> This feature can be accessed in robot mode by pressing down just on his left clavicle, or in vehicle mode by pressing down on the top of the cab. In fact, you will likely deploy it on accident a lot due to how sensitive the button is, especially during transformation. Once deployed, it can be made to spin by rolling the truck mode forward (powered by the right front wheel) or by spinning the small red wheel on his robot mode side. This causes the clear blue "energy" details to open, revealing the Matrix underneath. This gimmick is gravity dependent, meaning it must be in the correct position to activate properly.

:Unlike the other simple-assembly wheels, the front right wheel activates the gimmick in vehicle mode due to the connection between the gimmick's hexagonal joints. Because of this, only 5 out of 6 wheels can smoothly roll unless you pull him backwards or push it down while rolling him forwards, which also activates the spinning matrix inside the truck's cavity. A running change was also added: The locking tabs are now modified to allow the Matrix to rotate back securely in one touch. Due to the weight of his torso, the hip ratchets can barely support an even wider A-stance due to the combined weight of the upper torso.

:Along with [[Megatron_(Cyberverse)#Ultimate_Class|Megatron]], Optimus Prime also saw a re-release in the third wave.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate Class, 2020)
**''Action Attack'': "Energon Axe Attack"

:This Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, utilizing a different transformation scheme. He also features both the Energon Axe action attack and a flip-out Armor triggered from his rear legs. This Optimus also features a unique transformation: Pulling out the Energon Axe when converted halfway unleashes the "twist-and-change" action consists of spinning his torso and arms in place. As a result, his upper limbs are very loose. This Optimus only features articulation on the forearms, while his pair of legs is a [[Brick (term)|brick]] as it was used to store the armor gimmick.

====Elite Class====

**''Japanese Name'': '''Wingfire Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-16'''
**''Spark Armor'': "Sky Turbine"
:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Optimus Prime is a smaller, Warrior Class-sized, less Action Attack-laden, new mold that transforms from robot to a smokestack-less truck. He also comes with a fighter jet accessory with built-in Gatling guns, which can form his battle armor in robot mode. Like all Elite Class toys, the accessory also comes with a unique built-in helmet. The wings automatically transform in place if the cockpit is folded down when combined with Optimus.

:The Sky Turbine is based on a swing-wing jet of made-up model, with some design details being reminiscent of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. It features large undercarriage Gatling guns and, satisfyingly, folding nose-cone landing gear. When folded down as armor, the guns unlatch and swing beside Prime's arms using a spring-loaded mechanism, and wings rotate 180 degrees with the jet exhausts becoming shoulder-mounted cannons. For extra stability, the heel supports on Optimus are extra long to support the weight of the armor. Unlike most Elite-class Spark Armor, there are no larger hands sculpted in. This Optimus Prime can also tow the Battle Base Trailer.

:While the promotional renders for the toy show a solid silver truck-mode grill, the actual toy has a red hinge arm in the middle. This is likely due to a planned [[paint operation]] being omitted from the final product.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Ark Combine Optimus Prime'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[November 9]], [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-23'''

:Released as the largest ''Cyberverse'' toy, Ark Power Optimus Prime is an all-new mold that features a completely different transformation from the Ultimate Class toy, albeit omitting the leg and head articulation. He also includes a large accessory that is modeled after the Ark, which also transforms into his battle armor with a molded blade for his gauntlet. The blade is stored in between the foot armor/engines of the Ark, which can itself be carried on the back of Prime's truck mode. Curiously, the box art depicts him with gauntlets for ''both'' arms, which may be connected with the gap in the front of the Ark.

**''Japanese Release Date'': [[August]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''01'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster, Effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Matrix Mega Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers:_Cyberverse_(toyline)#Deluxe_Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Optimus Prime is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with an Ion Blaster that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for his Matrix, which can be revealed by opening the chest panels. If you leave his feet untransformed, he can tow the battle base trailer. A hole in the back of his vehicle mode can use the effect part as a booster flame. Due to the transformation scheme, Optimus's robot mode features fake wheels on his back.

:In Japan, Optimus Prime is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-28" ID Number) with a February 2020 release date.

:Released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'''s Battle Call subline, the Officer Class Optimus Prime is a roughly Leader-sized mold that converts from robot to truck and back. Like his sub-line's brethren, Optimus features a "Battle Call" voice-activated gimmick, which automatically deploys his armor and activates his battle sounds if "Power Up" is spoken. He also comes with a sword and shield that is strongly reminiscent of his live-action film's counterpart's weapons.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Optimus_Prime-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Optimus Prime's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*All merchandise depictions (with the exception of two) have his [[energon-axe]] colored orange. The actual cartoon depiction, however, is blue.
*The Japanese version of Optimus Prime is voiced by the Japanese voice actor of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. This may be deliberate, as ''Cyberverse'' Megatron in Japanese is voiced by the Japanese voice actor of ''Beast Wars'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]].
*Optimus's Earth alternate mode appears to be a fictionalized {{w|Freightliner Argosy#Second generation (2012-present)|Freightliner Argosy}}, arguably the closest modern successor to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#The Transformers|the original Optimus Prime's]] Freightliner WFT-8664T altmode.

[[File:CyberverseStarscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Good afternoon, ma'am! Have you heard the good news about our lord and savior, me?]]
Leader of the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s and [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s [[second-in-command]]<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official ''Cyberverse'' website</ref>, '''Starscream''' is the kind of guy who'd sell you out to Megatron in a heartbeat, then sell ''Megatron'' out to whoever offers him more power. He's not a very loyal sort, and often comes at odds with the heroic and loyal [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]—both traits Starscream despises.

Lack of loyalty isn't his only flaw: Starscream himself has earned Megatron's scorn for his cowardice and incompetence over the eons, and neither [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] nor [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] have much respect for him. Just about the only things he has going for him are his skills as a flier, and the leadership of the Seekers. Strangely enough, despite Starscream's own lack of loyalty, he somehow has the complete loyalty of his Seekers.

So complete that one wonders if they had to choose, would they follow Starscream or Megatron?

[[File:Starscream - Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero promo.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Excitement? Amusement? Fear? [[Dull surprise]]?]]
Before the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Starscream took the newly arrived [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to a [[Cube (sport)|Cube]] game where he flaunted his upper-class credentials by mocking the plebs and having [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] be kicked out of the stadium. Attempting to spice up the game, Starscream made his way to the Cubes and reprogrammed the AI in one of them to cause chaos only for Bumblebee and Windblade to foil his plot. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}}

Starscream later attended the rally where Megatron unveiled the [[Decepticon]] faction and emblem. Soon enough however, the movement had gone from civil disagreements to open revolution with Starscream derisively greeting [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] when the "file clerk" tried to deter Megatron's ambitions. Later in the war, Megatron conspired to use [[Vector Sigma]] to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of loyal Decepticons. When the Autobots got wind up of this plot, {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} they stole the AllSpark and launched it through a [[space bridge]] despite the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seekers]]' best efforts to retrieve the artifact. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}}

[[File:Cyberverse - Matrix of Leadership - Sleek Screamy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Seekers, the scavenger hunt will proceed-]]
As Cybertron's condition deteriorated due to the loss of the AllSpark, Starscream led [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]], and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] to the [[Grand Imperium]] where the trio attempted to slay Optimus Prime only to be bested and forced to retreat. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Some 66 million years later, the AllSpark had been tracked to the distant world of [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Fractured}} Starscream sent [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] to scout the planet and locate the artifact while he rallied the [[Decepticon fleet]]. {{storylink|Siloed}} {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Once the scouting team had made planetfall, Starscream contacted their [[Decepticon scout ship|shuttle]] for a status report only for the [[Autobot]] Bumblebee to answer his call instead. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}} Much to his ire, this would not prove an isolated occurrence and he swore to demote Slipstream as far he could when he came to Earth. {{storylink|Siloed}}

With his fleet, Starscream entered the [[Solar System|Sol system]] only to find [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] had beaten him there. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}} After the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] crew had been awoken, Starscream's fleet arrived to back up the Decepticons and invade the planet. {{storylink|Eruption}}

Months of Earth-bound battles eventually resulted in the [[human]]s becoming aware of the [[Transformer]]s. When Megatron opted to simply destroy the Earth, he had Shockwave construct a [[Planet Smasher]] on the [[Moon (moon)|moon]], its complex coming under attack from the Autobots. Starscream led his Seekers into battle, engaging Windblade in a dogfight before he was chomped on by [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]]. As the Seekers fled to the safety of the Planet Smasher, Megatron radioed Starscream for air support, an order that the Seeker chose to ignore and instead ordered the [[force field]] raised, intending to leave Megatron at the mercy of the Autobots. Unfortunately, Megatron had managed to extradite himself from the danger and had made it to the forcefield. Furious, the warlord threw Starscream around before demoting him, making Slipstream the new leader of the Seekers. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s2e2 Starscream's victory.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Vote for me and I promise you'll all get new toys! Yes, even you, [[Red Wing]]!]]

As Starscream seethed over this, the Autobots destroyed the Planet Smasher, prompting the Decepticons to retreat underground and enact their backup plan of using [[planetary engine]]s to smash the moon into the Earth. When Megatron's injured leg caused him to stumble, a maddened Starscream leapt on the opportunity, kicking his master to the floor and bombarding him with a [[missile]] swarm before beating him senseless. Considering Megatron deceased, Starscream declared himself the new [[Decepticon leader]] only for his confidence to flounder when the Autobots neared the control room. After Shockwave had primed the control room to self-destruct, Starscream ordered his troops back to the [[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|''Nemesis'']] with Megatron left behind. Back on the flagship, an exceptionally smug Starscream kicked Soundwave off the command throne, before ordering the ''Nemesis'' to take off. As the warship rose, Autobot sabotage caused the planetary engines to begin reversing. Before Starscream could issue a command, a furious Megatron entered the bridge and began silently and relentlessly pummelling Starscream across the ship, even as the Seeker begged for mercy. As Megatron prepared to execute Starscream, he ran for the bay doors only for the full force of Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] to strike him in the back, seemingly deactivating him. Contemptuously, Megatron threw Starscream's body onto the moon's surface as the ''Nemesis'' left. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Despite Megatron's assault, Starscream barely clung to life. Fatally wounded, he awoke on the moon's surface under the gaze of [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]]. Witnessing the bestial Cybertronian run through a [[GroundBridge]], Starscream followed, the portal's AllSpark energies healing his wounds. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Reaching out to his Seekers, Starscream rallied them to him and had them procure [[Vector Sigma]]. As a propaganda move, Megatron made a video directed at the people of Earth that claimed that Starscream tragically lost his life at the hands of the Autobots. As soon as the broadcast was over, however, he immediately warned the other Decepticons to take Starscream's fate as a reminder of the price of failure. He then issued a challenge to them: anyone who succeeded in bringing him the head of Optimus Prime would take Starscream's place as his second-in-command. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

When Optimus and Megatron were fighting over the AllSpark in new [[spark armor]], Starscream took the opportunity to steal the AllSpark and escape through another GroundBridge. {{storylink|Trials}} Starscream's brush with death had left him insane, believing he had come back from the AllSpark with the purpose of creating a new era of peace by returning all other Transformers to it. To facilitate this, he used the AllSpark to give himself his own spark armor while tasking [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)|Acid Storm]] with programming Vector Sigma to command the AllSpark and have it create an army of [[Scraplet]]s. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}
[[File:Starscream and Scraplets.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Starscream shows off his homemade [[Sunstorm (disambiguation)|Sunstorm]] cosplay.]]

Believing these new beings housed the sparks of ancient Transformers reclaimed from the AllSpark, Starscream plotted to use his new "children" to further his plans. Though he attempted to convince Slipstream to join him, she fled to warn the Autobots and Decepticons of his intentions, managing to reveal his location to Windblade before being killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]]. {{storylink|Parley}} Anticipating the Autobots' arrival, Starscream abandoned his temporary base and led his Scraplets in an attack on the ''Nemesis'', draining the energon from the Decepticons. Megatron managed to send out an SOS, prompting Optimus and a team of Autobots to investigate. Optimus and Windblade eventually found Starscream waiting for them on the bridge, where he ordered his Scraplets to attack and drained their energon, preparing to take the Matrix of Leadership from Optimus. His attempt was interrupted by Cheetor's arrival, who fought Starscream and extracted the AllSpark from his armor, using it to restore everyone and disable the Scraplets. His armor now destroyed, Starscream swore vengeance before making a hasty retreat with the AllSpark in tow. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

Starscream’s next scheme would involve him kidnapping Cheetor and Bumblebee, which he did by sending his seekers to pursue them. While it seemed as though Cheetor and Bumblebee escaped through the [[Groundbridge Nexus]], they were unexpectedly attacked and paralyzed by Acid Storm, who took them back to Starscream’s new lair. After they had awoken only to be surrounded by more Scraplets, Starscream explained how he shared much in common with Cheetor, with the knowledge that the AllSpark gave the young guardian it’s power, he planned to forcibly merge Cheetor’s Spark with his own, but first opted to give his captive a demonstration as he had Bumblebee strapped to a table that was part of the device, and attempted to merge the scout’s Spark with one of his Scraplets, but his plan was ultimately foiled after Cheetor used some Energon as a distraction for the other Scraplets, and broke Bumblebee free of his bonds, ceasing the merging process, and the two escaped, leaving Starscream to continue scheming. {{storylink|Spotted}}

The Decepticon would then hasten his plans further with the timely arrival of both [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] and [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], and approached both of the warriors with the promise of defeating one another. Giving them Spark Armor, he assured each of them individually that the other didn’t have anything like their Spark Armor, and revealed to Acid Storm that he planned to have them destroy each other, and possibly both the Autobots and Decepticons. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

[[File:Cyberverse-IAmTheAllspark-StarscreamsNewPower.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Transform and Roll Out|"IT'S MORE POWERFUL THAN I EVER IMAGINED!"]]]]
Acid Storm eventually finished the reprogramming of Vector Sigma, allowing Starscream to absorb it and increase his power. As a reward for his Seekers' loyalty, he extracted all of their sparks. When he returned to the GroundBridge Nexus, he found all the Autobots and Decepticons already there and, after some verbal jousting with Megatron, prepared to extract their sparks only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix, its energy blasting the AllSpark out of Starscream and knocking him into stasis. Knowing that Optimus would want the Seeker to face a trial, Bumblebee dragged the unconscious Starscream back to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

Guarded by [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] and [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]], Starscream attempted to unleash his AllSpark power upon reawakening, only to realize he no longer had it after Rack'n'Ruin mocked him for it. He didn't like this one bit. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}} Later, he attempted to have the Autobots destroy each other by sabotaging one of the [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack's]] new AllSpark emitters. However, his plan was foiled when Optimus Prime destroyed the device connecting the emitters. {{storylink|Party Down}}

Managing to dupe Teletraan-X into giving him enough space to escape, Starscream made it out of the ''Ark'' but soon became a tag-along to the Titan [[Croaton]], screaming as he left for parts unknown. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After Croaton had flown through a storm and dangerously close to a sun, he happened upon a [[Quintesson]] Cruiser, both Cybertronians being taken prisoner. Brought by the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticons]] before a [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], Starscream's ego quickly won him the death sentence before he, in a panic, sold out his species and the AllSpark by pointing the aliens towards Cybertron. Pleased with his gift, the Judge sent Starscream to the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] so he could be rewarded by becoming part of the new Judge. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}}

To fuel Starscream's metamorphosis, the Quintessons began draining the energon of both the Cybertronian race and the AllSpark once they conquered the metallic planet. {{storylink|The Scientist}} Working together, the Autobots and Decepticons managed to destroy the Quintesson ship whereupon Starscream made his dramatic return, declaring his race to be guilty. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}} Using his newfound powers on his foes, Judge Starscream prolonged the Transformers' trial, wanting both Optimus Prime and Megatron present so they could stand trial for all their wrongdoings towards him. He also repainted the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutor]]s and [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]]s in his colors, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU I JudgeStarscream.jpg|230px|thumb|right]]

Holding the assembled members of his species prisoner, Judge Starscream ranted to them about the injustices that they had inflicted on him over the course of his life before he demanded Prime and Megatron's locations. As one, the Cybertronians gave him contradictory information prompting him to take [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] as a hostage, threatening to kill her. Before he could make good on this, Windblade awoke the War Titan [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}}

Though Judge Starscream panicked, the Scientist calmly called in the brainwashed Croaton to deal with Iaconus, even if the War Titan proved able to punt Starscream across the horizon. When he returned to the battlefield, Croaton was on the verge of defeat, forcing Starscream to kill Iaconus by dumping some [[Transwarp|unspace]] matter on his head. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}}

Ordering Coraton to annihilate [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and every Transformer in it, Judge Starscream finally found Optimus Prime. Before he could pass his judgment on the Prime, Megatron returned aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]], attacking Starscream with exotic energy manipulation abilities that he had gained while in another reality. After Croaton left the battlefield, his mind freed by Windblade, Judge Starscream attempted to attack Astrotrain personally before both Prime and Megatron, having stolen one from [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|another universe]], unleashed the power of two Matrices of Leadership on the rogue Seeker, overwhelming him and bringing his reign of terror to an end. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

Starscream's head, as depicted from his time as a Quintesson Judge, was eventually recovered at some point following the downfall of the Quintessons by [[Meteorfire]] and stored among his alien memorabilia. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

====Alternate universe====
In [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron X]]'s reality, after the tyrant fatally wounded Optimus Prime when his once friend refused to join the Decepticons, Starscream restrained Bumblebee alongside Shadow Striker. However, he was later executed by Megatron X, who claimed he outlived his usefulness after easily winning the Great War. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Starscream''' (Scout Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Wing Slice"

:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Starscream is roughly the size of a Legends Class figure that converts from robot to <s>Gerwalk mode</s> jet with limbs (Also known as a "transformational mode") and back. His wings swing around in a spring-loaded "Wing Slice" attack attached to his waist, which can be locked in using the landing gear. In transformational mode, Starscream can fold his legs up to approximate a more "complete" jet mode.

:This figure is one of the few ''Cyberverse'' Starscream toys to feature knee joints. The figure was later redecoed into [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)#Toys|Slipstream]].

*'''Starscream''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Wing Slice"

:Released as part of the first wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class lineup, this Starscream is a Deluxe-sized figure that converts from robot to jet and back. His "Wing Slice" Action Attack gimmick is activated by winding up a spring in his 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 underside of these panels, normally hidden, are painted over in bright pink with large silver Decepticon [[Insignia]]. The waist can be locked in place by pegging his landing gear onto a peg on his backside. Additionally, he has non-firing Null Ray blasters molded into his forearms with [[5 mm post]] hole hands.

:While his arms have articulation comparable to other ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, Starscream has the unusual distinction of having his hip swivels molded together, meaning the front-to-back movement is in tandem. He also lacks knees, likely due to his whole legs being cast from the same grey plastic. Despite this otherwise restricted movement, he can splay his legs out to the sides due to hinges on his hips, allowing splits and high kicks. Also unusual, the middle recess on his forehead is shown as unpainted in promotional images (including on the back of his box) and yellow in character art, but is painted in metallic blue on the actual toy. He lacks the red stripes on the inner wings on the final product as well.

:This mold was redecoed into [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Thundercracker]], [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Acid Storm]], and [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)#Warrior Class|Slipstream]].

**''Action Attack'': "Starseeker Missile"
:This Warrior Class version of Starscream transforms into a Cybertronian jet that resembles the [[wikia:gradius:Vic Viper|Vic Viper T-301 from ''Gradius V'']]. His new Starseeker Missile Action Attack has his null rays (now fixed to his wings rather than his arms) flip up and forward. This Starscream has more show-accurate paint apps and proportions in robot mode than the last version, but only just. Differences include larger wings, transparent orange wing-mounted null rays, no outward movement in the arms, a more show accurate whitish plastic, darker blue paint and forearm plastic, painted hands, and separately jointed legs with ''knees'' of all things, plus many other features making him a different figure.

:Due to his large wings extending so far above his head, he is packaged in a squatting position. His poor knees.

:This ''Cyberverse'' Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure that converts from a robot to a jet with two giant missile pods under his wings and back. His Action Attack gimmick, when triggered, pops fourteen non-firing missiles from his missile pods (seven on each side), with molded 'smoke trails' to simulate a carpet bombing attack.

**''Spark Armor'': "Demolition Destroyer"

:''Cyberverse'' Battle Class Starscream is a smaller (about the size of older Scout Class toys), less Action Attack-laden new mold that transforms from robot to a fighter jet. He comes with a bulldozer accessory that also forms his battle armor. He features very few paint applications, which is more evident than his larger Warrior class figure due to being uniformly cast in dark grey plastic. He also features more articulation that his previous toy, with ball joints in his shoulders and hips as well as elbow, knee, and waist joints. His bulldozer armor becomes a new helmet, leg armor, and a shovel weapon. His forearms also sport hexagonal, [[5 mm post]] compatible ports. His transformation scheme is similar to the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Thrilling_30|''Thrilling 30'']] and ''[[Starscream (G1)/toys#Authentics|''Authentics'']]'' figures.

:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Starscream is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the neck, hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small excavator (reminiscent of his Battle Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor.

His hips are articulated and both his arms can be flung upwards at the same time by pressing an action feature button on the rear.

==Notes==
[[File:Judge-Starscream-Boulder-model.jpg|thumb|250px|All rise for the dishonorable Judge Mental.]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Starscream's design is based on the [[Evergreen]] design also used for his [[Starscream (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks that, unlike almost every other version of Starscream in existence, make him look different from his Seeker comrades aside from paint jobs. However, this is not reflected on their toys, as all current toys of the Seekers are simple [[redeco]]s of Starscream's (save Ultra Class Slipstream).
**Firstly, he has a unique head sculpt that is very different from the other default "male" and "female" heads the rest of the Seekers use.
**Secondly, his wings are wide with a zigzagging edge compared to the other Seekers' narrow wings with a sharp tip at the end.
**Lastly, he has forearm-mounted [[null-ray]]s whereas the other Seekers have their null-rays mounted on their upper arms.
*Starscream's voice actor in the Japanese dub gives him the same mannerisms and histrionic personality as [[Starscream (WFC)|''Prime'' Starscream]] had in the Japanese dub of his respective show.
*Starscream's death in "The End Of The Universe IV" hurt [[Mae Catt]] the most. In fact, she wanted Starscream to emerge from the remains of his Quintesson Judge body, though she is okay that idea got scrapped.<ref name="Q+A">"[https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/613237429097365504/i-absolutely-didnt-go-back-through-and-edit-this Transformers: Cyberverse – Mae Catt Q&A Session (Unedited Edition)]"</ref>
**There would have also been a redemption arc for Starscream, who would have suffered amnesia following "The End Of The Universe" and carried a psychic shard of Windblade that he would talk to before Bumblebee befriended him.<ref name="Q+A" />

[[File:CyberverseCheetor.jpg|thumb|300px|"[[Chester|DANGEROUSLY cheesy!]]"]]

'''Cheetor''' was once one with the [[AllSpark|Allspark]], until he emerged from it on Earth in his new catlike form to serve as the relic's guardian. A dedicated protector with devout faith in the Allspark, he draws power from the relic to gain enormous strength and the ability to create [[GroundBridge]]s at will. Knowing the threat that the [[Decepticon]]s pose, Cheetor has chosen to join the [[Autobot]]s, who have taken to teaching the naïve young bot about the ways of this new world. In turn, he stands with them to defend the side of good, hoping the Autobots and Decepticons will someday settle their differences and together become one with the Allspark again.

==Fiction==
===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[TJ Nelson]] (English), [[Wataru Takagi]] (Japanese)|[[Jonathan Simon]] (French)}}
[[File:Cyberverse Cheetor Beast Mode.jpg|left|thumb]]
Cheetor was once one with the Allspark, but was brought to [[Earth]] by it and given his bestial form to act as the relic's guardian. For countless years, Cheetor traveled the world with the Allspark, using [[GroundBridge]]s to move from place to place. That all changed when he first noticed the Cybertronians [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. From that point on, he observed both the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s from afar, hoping their war would one day come to an end so they could all be united together in the Allspark. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

In the aftermath of a battle on the [[moon (moon)|moon]], Bumblebee spotted Cheetor watching them all, but by the time he could draw anyone else's attention, Cheetor was gone. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}} Cheetor observed the fallen form of [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] before leaving the moon, accidentally leaving the GroundBridge open behind him. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Bumblebee continued searching for information about the mysterious "moon cheetah", only to spot him watching the Autobots from outside the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']]. Bumblebee and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] attempted to catch him, but Cheetor used a GroundBridge to escape, with Hot Rod inadvertently following him through. {{storylink|The Visitor}} The GroundBridge emerged in front of the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'', and after a scuffle with the Decepticons, Hot Rod fled the scene. Before he could retaliate, [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] spotted Cheetor entering a GroundBridge, piquing his curiosity. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

When [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron used the GroundBridge network to triangulate the Allspark's location, Cheetor manipulated the portals so that only the leaders could enter the cave and introduced himself to the two leaders. To determine which of them was worthy of possessing the Allspark, Cheetor challenged them to compete in "The Trials". When the trial of knowledge proved ineffective, Cheetor instead proposed a trial by combat, granting each contender new [[spark armor]]. While he was distracted by the battle, Starscream appeared and stole the Allspark. Distraught at the seeming failure of his life's purpose, Cheetor offered to aid Optimus and his team in reclaiming the Allspark. {{storylink|Trials}}

After explaining his origins to the Autobots, Cheetor joined them in a raid on the ''Nemesis'' where he attempted to discern the Allspark's location only to find that he could not sense it. Though he initially feared that the artefact had abandoned him, he eventually realized that the Allspark was not on the ship at all, using this revelation to force the others to stop fighting and have Megatron reveal that Starscream had gone rogue. The discussion caused everyone to realize that Cheetor's lunar portal had healed Starscream's otherwise fatal wounds and laid the foundations for the latest round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} As Optimus and Megatron negotiated, Cheetor expressed hope that the peace talk would be successful, providing a mark contrast to Hot Rod and Bumblebee's attitude, but found his optimism quickly misplaced after [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]]'s fatal attack on [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] led to a free for all. {{storylink|Parley}}

Cheetor was among a group of Autobots responding to a Decepticon distress call. When they arrived at the ''Nemesis'', the Autobots found the crew paralyzed with Cheetor's instincts guiding him to the Allspark. When the [[Scraplet]]s attacked, Cheetor managed to avoid being bitten and ran to the bridge to aid Optimus and Windblade. Pouncing on Starscream's [[spark armor]], Cheetor tried to reclaim the Allspark, managing to make physical contact with it, only for this to unleash a healing wave of energy, the kinetic force of which sent Cheetor flying away from Starscream. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's Allspark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid [[energon]] to briefly turn the Scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] for study. {{storylink|Spotted}}

After [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] had arrived on Earth, he led the Autobots to the Allspark only for the group to be met by both the Decepticons and a now Allspark-empowered Starscream. Though Cheetor's powers allowed him a modicum of resistance to Starscream's new abilities, the day was saved only through the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership]], its energy blasting the Allspark out of Starscream. After the Allspark had reconstituted its physical form, Cheetor managed to grab hold of it, carrying it back through the GroundBridge to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

After Optimus, in deep stasis after unleashing the Matrix, was secured in sickbay, the Autobots made ready to leave Earth. With Bumblebee, Cheetor remotely piloted an [[Autobot shuttle]], drawing the ''Nemesis'' away from Earth's [[space bridge]]. As the ''Ark'' made for the portal, [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], having seen through the ruse, attacked the ship, delaying it long enough for the ''Nemesis'' to catch up and unleash the heavy artillery. At Starscream's suggestion, Cheetor used the Allspark to repair the ''Ark'', only for the Decepticons to blow up the space bridge, forcing the ''Ark'' to physically fly back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

Finding the celebration party on the ''Ark'' too loud for his liking, Cheetor joined Optimus on the vessel's roof, only for [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] to inform them that the others were going berserk. After finding that Starscream responsible, hacking into Wheeljack's badges and exposing the Autobots to the Allspark's raw energy, the trio fought off their raging comrades and shut down the delivery system, allowing sanity to be restored. {{storylink|Party Down}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through an asteroid field, Cheetor joined Bumblebee and Hot Rod for some solar surfing, finding great success in his [[beast mode]]. As the three enjoyed themselves, they were separated by a massive solar flare. When Cheetor rebooted, he was found by [[the Fins]], one of the three factions that comprised what was left of the [[Sharkticon (Cyberverse)|Sharkticon]] race. After fighting off a few of them, Cheetor found himself drafted by the group to aid in securing [[The Park]]. Upon arrival, he reunited with Bumblebee and Hot Rod, having both been drafted into [[the Tails]] and [[the Snouts]] respectively where Cheetor encouraged the Sharkticons to celebrate their commonalities and work together. And they did just that by turning on the Autobots, sending the three running back to the ''Ark''. Acting on a brainwave, Cheetor retrieved the Allspark and used its power to, largely, reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], restoring peace to the species. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

As Cheetor reminisced about his old cavern on Earth, Windblade was possessed and took the Allspark down to a nearby red planet. Along with Optimus and Bumblebee, Cheetor followed the [[cityspeaker]] to the surface, finding a deserted city that Windblade sought to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the trio could not stop Windblade from unleashing the Allspark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Cheetor, and everyone else, in position. Needing to repower the ship, Cheetor's prone form was banged against the Allspark a few times by [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] to try and rouse it to no avail. Once power was restored to the ''Ark'', Cheetor rebooted, none the wiser about what had happened. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old [[space bridge]] to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the ''Ark'' soon wound up trapped in [[Transwarp|unspace]], the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their Allsparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the Allspark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Guarded by Hot Rod and Bumblebee, Cheetor remained on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the Allspark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though Cheetor welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. Looking around, Cheetor theorized that the environment was a remnant of Cybertron's prehistory before he noticed that Bumblebee had vanished. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}
[[File:Cyberverse BFC IV CheetorSacrifice.jpg|230px|thumb|right]]

Trekking through the jungle, Cheetor found his friend had been taken captive by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]], Cheetor using the Allspark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. Though Cheetor was quick to follow his duty, Shockwave was equally quick in rendering him unconscious leaving Bumblebee to defeat the scientist. When Cheetor awoke, the two friends returned the Allspark to its resting point and brought their planet back to life only for Shockwave to extract his own spark and use it to try and corrupt the Allspark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the Allspark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

====Alternate universe====
When a distress call from [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the ''Ark'' soon wound up trapped in [[Transwarp|unspace]], the void between universes. Though the Autobot teams worked together, along with a third Autobot group, to return home, time ran out for Cheetor's group and they were disintegrated by unspace's properties. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

*'''Cheetor''' (Elite Class, [[2019]])
**''Accessories'': "Sea Fury" battleship/armor

:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Elite Class Cheetor is a new mold transforming from robot to cheetah. He comes with the "Sea Fury" battleship, a retool of [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)#Elite Class|Bumblebee]]'s Ocean Storm Spark Armor, which can form battle armor in robot mode. His hands have a slightly open claw grip that can hold 5mm post accessories. While his tail can be easily popped on and off, it can't really be held as a weapon and appears to be removable [[for safety reasons]]. He has very decent articulation compared to earlier Cyberverse toys but lacks a waist swivel due to the hinged panel on his back, and the slot on his waist used for locking the Sea Fury armor chestplate in place.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, the Sea Fury features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. While Cheetor himself sports an Autobrand on his right shoulder, the Sea Fury has a [[Maximal]] sigil on its prow. The Sea Fury is almost identical to Bumblebee's Ocean Storm, differing only in the [[repaint|color of the paint]] and the new helmet. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Cheetor's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The figure's design matches promotional artwork from Hasbro, and as such heavily deviates from the Boulder animation model.

:Cheetor was exclusively available at [[Target]] stores in the US. He was also released at general retail in Malaysia and Europe.

==Notes==
[[File:Cheetor-Cyberverse-Hasbro-art.jpg|thumb|250px]]
*Cheetor's design is a stylized version of his [[Cheetor (BW)|Beast Era counterpart]]'s original ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' body.
*Throughout the series, Cheetor wields swords similar to the ones the original Cheetor uses in [[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Machines'']].
*The design of Cheetor's animation model differs from the one shown on his toy packaging art (see right).

'''The Autobots and Decepticons confront The Other One, a more powerful and tyrannical version of Megatron from another universe.'''

==Synopsis==
Within [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s [[Matrix of Leadership]], [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] reaches the pillars that bear the names of the [[Thirteen]] [[Prime (rank)|Primes]]. From one of these pillars emerges [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], explaining her status as a psychic shard. But much to the [[cityspeaker]]'s surprise, he insists that he is not the Optimus that she knows and serves with. Seeing her confusion, Optimus gives her one simple order: destroy the Matrix.

Within [[Croaton]], Optimus recognizes the soldiers surrounding them as the [[Perfect Decepticon]]s that Megatron had dreamed of creating. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] points out that it has been impossible for the tyrant have created them without manipulating the [[AllSpark]]. Megatron confirms the scout's skepticism, proclaiming that the soldiers, everything he dreamed of, were created by "the Other One." The soldiers' stillness is revealed to be the result of them waiting for their master, whose impending arrival causes [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] to flee. This shakes everyone out of their shock with [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]] and [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] leading the charge into battle. Unfortunately, the soldiers are too powerful to be bested by standard weapons, forcing Optimus and Megatron to channel their [[multiverse]] energy and atomize the invaders. Though Optimus reiterates that the alternate Matrix must be destroyed, Megatron insists that both it and its local counterpart must be combined to fell the Other One.

Before the debate can continue, a second wave teleports in, Megatron contemptuously blasting them all away to [[Transwarp|unspace]]. Just as Megatron lowers his guard, a teleport flare appears behind him, from which steps forth the Other One, [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|a towering black-armored alternate version of Megatron]]. Swatting away his smaller counterpart's weapon, Megatron X fatally wounds the primary Megatron and sends him flying back towards the assembled Transformers. [[Alphastrike]] attempts to avenge her master only for her artillery to be absorbed by the invader and fired back at her. As Megatron X observes the differences between this reality and his own, [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] demands to know who he is, prompting the warlord to tell his tale.

''[[Megatron Is My Hero|When Optimus Prime refused to join the Decepticons]], Megatron realized that his old friend would forever oppose him and fired a point blank round from his [[fusion cannon]], fatally wounding the newly minted Prime before he seized the Matrix. In this reality, the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] was quickly won by the Decepticons before Megatron used the AllSpark to create his perfect race of Decepticon warriors. Years later, when the [[Quintesson]]s sought to invade [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron destroyed their ship with a [[laser snare]], salvaging their multiversal technology from its wreckage.''

Suitably cowed, the Decepticons bow to Megatron X only for him to laugh them off before he telekinetically reclaims his Matrix, felling his counterpart in the process. Before he can bond with the talisman once again, Bumblebee steals it and races for the border. Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, the scout reaches the border but cannot breach the now hemisphere-encompassing shield. Circling for a gap to fly through, he is downed by Megatron X. Though the tyrant commends Bumblebee's effort, the arrival of Optimus causes him to reassess his priorities. Optimus instantly unleashes the power of the Matrix on the invader. Initially caught off-guard by the attack, Megatron X quickly retaliates with a blast of his own, his beam steadily overcoming Optimus'.
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Ending.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Within Megatron X's Matrix, Windblade, pressed on by the ghost of the alternate Optimus, unleashes her sword on the psychic pillars of the Primes, short-circuiting the talisman in the physical world and allowing Optimus to overcome his foe, immobilizing him. Getting up, Bumblebee collects Windblade's fragment as it rises from the broken tyrant's chest. As Optimus ponders what to do with Megatron X, Astrotrain arrives. Thanking the confused Optimus for his heroics, Astrotrain seizes the prone form of his old master and opens another portal into the multiverse where he intends to keep Megatron X trapped forever as revenge for his cruelty against him.

Under the light of the rising sun, [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] presents the healed Windblade to the [[Autobot]]s, to everyone's hearty delight.

In hindsight, it reveals that Optimus split from Megatron ''because'' he murdered the council.
*Upon seeing Shadow Striker, the alternate Megatron comments that she looks like one of [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]'s experiments, referencing her reconstruction by ol' one eye in "[[Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker]]".

===Continuity notes===
*The Tarn-esque soldiers from the previous episode are revealed to be Megatron's race of perfect Decepticons that he intended to have Vector Sigma and the AllSpark create back in "[[Megatron Is My Hero]]."
**However, Megatron is quick to point out that they are not his creations, given how Vector Sigma was destroyed and the AllSpark was returned to its rightful place in the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]] in "[[Battle For Cybertron IV]]".
*"The Other One", first mentioned in "[[Enemy Line]]", is revealed to be none other than a more ruthless alternate Megatron from the same dimension as Astrotrain and the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticon]]s.
*Megatron X's timeline diverged during the third flashback of "Megatron Is My Hero", which also reveals that those events took place after Megatron killed the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] and Optimus received the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the [[Matrix of Leadership (episode)|eponymous episode]]. In hindsight, it reveals that Optimus split from Megatron ''because'' he murdered the council.
*Upon seeing Shadow Striker, the alternate Megatron comments that she looks like one of [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]]'s experiments, referencing her reconstruction by ol' one eye in "[[Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker]]".
*Megatron X defeated his reality's version of the [[Quintesson]]s with a [[laser snare]], the same kind of device that Shockwave used to destroy the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' back in "[[Battle For Cybertron I]]."
*Dead End is once again using his battle mask from "Enemy Line".

===Transformers references===
*[[Prima]] and [[Micronus Prime|Micronus]] are namedroped, being confirmed on-screen to be among this universe's version of the [[Thirteen]].
*Megatron quotes [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s famous line from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'': "One shall stand, one shall fall."

===Other trivia===
*According to [[Mae Catt]], the crew wanted to a reverse Optimus death by killing off the primary Megatron. However, in the final product, she kind of enjoyed the ambiguity rather than the final decision yet does not remember if the crew was decisive about that in the script.<ref>"[https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/613237429097365504/i-absolutely-didnt-go-back-through-and-edit-this Transformers: Cyberverse – Mae Catt Q&A Session (Unedited Edition)]"</ref>
*In an interesting blink-and-miss moment, Soundwave and Shadow Striker can be seen celebrating Windblade's revival alongside the Autobots. According to Catt, their cameos were added in the episode by the animation team, as they were not in the script.<ref>" [https://moonbase2.libsyn.com/moonbase-2-interview-mae-catt Moonbase 2 Podcast interview with Mae Catt] "</ref>
**The fact that Soundwave and Shadow Striker are on the Autobot half of Cybertron without causing trouble suggests that Megatron's request for the split control of the planet was repealed following his maybe-death.
*The show ends with Perceptor ''still'' being blind. Guess he prefers seeing the unconventional way.

===Animation and technical errors===
*When Windblade begins destroying Megatron's Matrix, she gains her wings in one shot and they disappear for the rest of the scene.
*Just before Astrotrain returns, Megatron X is missing his Decepticon emblem.

'''Optimus Prime leads a strike team of Autobots on a mission deep into Decepticon territory to destroy a dangerous artifact.'''

==Synopsis==
''In an unknown patch of an alternate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] waits in the rain, closing the doors on [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]]'s face as a source of amusement. As another way to drive the grumpy Decepticon to amuse him, Astrotrain manipulates his seats just as Dead End tries to sit, drawing threats until they get a call from [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]], who comes towards them with a [[Matrix of Leadership]] in hand. Being chased by a volley of missiles, the Decepticon leader gets hit, taking out one of his optics, yet remains undeterred. Megatron, [[Shrapnel (Cyberverse)|Shrapnel]], [[Kickback (Cyberverse)|Kickback]], and [[Bombshell (Cyberverse)|Bombshell]] retreat aboard Astrotrain, who departs for universes unknown.'' In the present, Megatron addresses his troops and makes one statement very clear: the time of their reckoning is nearing inch by inch.

At the border, [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]] and a Decepticon soldier notice a cloud of dust from the Autobot side. Upon realizing it to be a stampede, they retreat in fear. It turns out to be a distraction ordered by [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], who leads a strike team into [[Croaton]] city with the goal of destroying Megatron's Matrix. Sneaking past the border with the help of [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]], they set off to stop Megatron and retrieve [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]'s mind shard from the alternate Matrix.

Inside his Matrix, Megatron finds that the [[Thirteen|other Primes]] inside are refusing to help him fight off the threat he is facing. He leaves frustrated, but as he does, a manifestation of Windblade generates. Following his failure to round up the help of the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s, he sends [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]] to work on the shields and receives a handheld version of the completed dimensional ray from Astrotrain. Not much can be said for the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticon]]s, however, as they are nowhere to be found. The Decepticon Warlord storms off with [[Wildwheel]] to find them, all while [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]] observes from afar.

As the Autobots continue their infiltration, [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] observe Laserbeak's footage. Still struggling to grasp his strategies, Soundwave knows someone who has the answers they seek. Megatron grows furious after finding out that the Insecticons have built a makeshift craft and are bailing out on his plans. Shrapnel justifies their actions are because "[[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|the Other One]]" cannot be stopped and is only after Megatron. Megatron and Wildwheel do nothing more as the Insecticons flee Cybertron, their departure distracting some guards long enough for [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] to get the drop on them. The other Autobots proceed to muscle their way through. Meanwhile, Soundwave and Shadow Striker threaten Dead End for answers. Refusing to comply with the two, the Decepticon makes a break for it with his peers in hot pursuit, straight into the Aubtobot infiltration team and ingesting a corridor battle.

In the [[cityspeaker]] chamber, Sky-Byte manages to get the shields at 86%. But as beams start to come through the roof, Megatron pushes him to raise it to mask their location, cutting Prime's team off from the other Autobots. Fighting their way through Soundwave, Dead End, and Shadow Striker, they make it to the next section only to be barraged by [[Alphastrike]] and more Decepticon soldiers. Another battle begins and the Autobots end up surrounded. As Prime's group makes a break for Megatron, Whirl and [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] deal with the Decepticons trying to stop them. As Optimus and Megatron argue, [[Perfect Decepticon|mysterious new troopers]] teleport around both parties and surround everyone at gunpoint.

'''Chromia and Bumblebee venture into Cybertron's gaseous Argon Sea in search of Windblade.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]], [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] and [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] stand before [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]], preparing to upload what they have of her mind. Just as they finish, a shark-bot breaks into the sickbay and steals their friend. Taking a shuttle, Bumblebee and Chromia follow the thief to the [[Argon Sea]] and dive in. Meanwhile, [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] assembles the Autobots in a strategy meeting. Just before he finishes, he freezes as the [[Matrix of Leadership]] floats out of his chest.

In the Argon Sea, Bumblebee and Chromia find a beautifully populated landscape under the surface and spot the thief, immediately giving chase. Unfortunately, he topples nearby structures to throw them off. Upon escaping, Bumblebee and Chromia dive deeper to find a giant transmission of Windblade's face screaming for help. It disappears and local wildlife attacks them. Meanwhile inside the Matrix realm, Optimus finds himself surrounded by 12 slabs belonging to deceased members of the [[Thirteen]]. [[Maccadam]] emerges from one of the slabs.

Back in the Argon, the sea creatures manage to damage the shields on the shuttle. Once the creatures leave, the shark-bot arrives and smashes the window. Bumblebee mounts and incapacitates the shark-bot with a surge from his [[stinger (weapon)|stinger]] but falls into the ravine. As Chromia follows Bumblebee down, the captured shark-bot awakens in a grumpy mode over his current condition. An argument breaks out, which ends with the shark-bot introducing himself as [[Hammerbyte]], the Argon Sea's Guardian, and admitting that he was under the thrall of a recently-awakened beast known as the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]]. Chromia and Hammerbyte set off to rescue Bumblebee and Windblade.

Finding Bumblebee, they follow him down a hatchway. Just before Hammerbyte enters, a tentacle appears and hits him with an orange gas, sending him into a mind-controlled trance. He quickly catches up to Chromia, who flees until she reaches a mind-controlled Bumblebee. Evading both of them, Chromia reaches a large room with Windblade floating in the middle. The Dweller reveals that he was awoken by one of the cityspeaker's psychic shards and sent Hammerbyte to retrieve her so he could return the piece to her.

Quickly working out that the Dweller a [[Titan (group)|Titan]], Chromia strands defiant. The Dweller sics Bumblebee and Hammerbyte on her, though Chromia quickly turns Bumblebee's stinger against them, breaking them out of their trances. Not willing to lose potential citizens, the Dweller releases more hypnotic gasses. Bumblebee, Chromia, and Hammerbyte grab Windblade and manage to escape, though at the cost of their shuttle. Returning Windblade to her friends, Hammerbyte apologizes for his Dweller-induced actions and heads back into the Argon Sea.

Back in the Matrix realm, Optimus asks how Maccadam could also be in the Matrix. Revealing himself as [[Alchemist Prime]], the former bartender instructs Optimus to destroy [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s Matrix. A confused Optimus worries that destroying the alternate Matrix will destroy the other [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s, but Alchemist reveals that a piece of Windblade is also inside. As Optimus returns to the real world, he rounds up the Autobots for a universe-saving mission on their hands.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*By the end of this episode, 80% of Windblade's scattered mind has been gathered due to the Dweller having returned the psychic shard that reactivated him to her.
**It is also revealed that the remaining 20% of Windblade's mind is currently in the alternate Matrix in Megatron's possession.
*The Argon Seas was first mentioned by [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]] in "[[The End Of The Universe II]]".
*Like [[Croaton]] before him, the Dweller is able to possess a cityspeaker, suggesting that this may be an ability of the Titans.
*When Optimus hosts his meeting with the other Autobots, he mentions the discovery made by Rack'n'Ruin in the previous episode.

===Transformers references===
*When faced by the possessed Bumblebee, Chromia swears by the [[Mistress of Flame]].
*The Dweller first appeared in the ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' episode which this one [[The Dweller in the Depths|takes it name from]].
*We finally learn the truth about Maccadam and, as we totally called, he is none other than [[Alchemist Prime]], taking inspiration from the idea put forth in ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'' that the old barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]] Primes.
*Speaking of the Thirteen, the other eleven slabs seen within the Matrix in addition to Alchemist's are identified in concept art as belonging to [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], [[Prima]], [[Micronus Prime|Micronus]], [[Solus Prime|Solus]], [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], [[Vector Prime|Vector]], [[Nexus Prime|Nexus]], [[Onyx Prime|Onyx]], [[Liege Maximo|Seige Maximo]], [[Quintus Prime|Quintus]], and [[Amalgamous Prime|Amalgamous]]. In other words, this universe's version of the Thirteen is mostly in line with their depictions in the "Aligned" and 2005 IDW continuities.

===Real-world references===
*Though [[Dweller (G1)|the original Dweller]] was a [[Quintesson]] [[Trans-Organic]], this version is a monstrous tentacle-wielding Titan that has some heavy Lovecraftian vibes. Specifically, he calls to mind Lovecraft's most famous creation Cthulhu.

===Other trivia===
*The [[mechanimal]]s of the Argon Sea appear to be based on the Cambrian Era ''{{w|Opabinia|Opabinia regalis}}'' and ''{{w|Anomalocaris|Anomalocaris canadensis}}''.
*The reason why Optimus does not have a slab for himself in the Matrix realm, despite it showing up in concept art, was to ensure that a dead Optimus would have to be an alternate counterpart.<ref>"[https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/613237429097365504/i-absolutely-didnt-go-back-through-and-edit-this Transformers: Cyberverse – Mae Catt Q&A Session (Unedited Edition)]"</ref> This explains why there is a slab for Optimus in the Matrix realm featured in the following episodes.

'''A rescue mission to save Jetfire reveals a secret Decepticon operation.'''

==Synopsis==
As [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] contemplate [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s motives since his acquiring of a [[Matrix of Leadership]], [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] and [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] have nothing to report. [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] initially has the same, but is hit by an energy blast that robs him of his wings, sending him plummeting.

As [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]] load a shuttle, they compliment each other on their crate-stacking before the craft suddenly takes off, causing the crate stack to collapse on top of them. As it turns out, [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] is taking the ship on a mission to rescue Jetfire. The medic is very surprised to find Rack'n'Ruin onboard, but has no choice but to take them along for the mission, much to their joy and his annoyance.

As Jetfire wakes up, he notices his wings are back... only to find his legs have now disappeared! His screaming leads Ratchet and Rack'n'Ruin straight to him, but they find him walking around aimlessly with his head missing. Ratchet instructs them to search for his head... only for it to appear out of nowhere. As he explains his dilemma, his arms disappear. As it turns out, Jetfire's body parts are existing at different quantum frequencies, caused by a strange Decepticon weapon. The medic sends Rack'n'Ruin to fetch a purple stabilizer. When the two emerge from the ship debating over the color of the device, [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] and [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]] beat them to their comrades, kidnapping them.

Making their way to a secret Decepticon facility, Rack'n'Ruin sneak their way to the door unnoticed... or so they think. In actuality, they crawl to the door in plain sight, and are easily captured by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. As it turns out, the two high-ranking Decepticons are also clueless about the facility, and after a failed interrogation, they let the duo loose as a way to sneak inside.

Inside, Dead End and Astrotrain have strapped their prisoners to large slabs for weapon testing... and they have a ray aimed straight at Ratchet. Rack'n'Ruin attempt to blast Astrotrain, but the giant Decepticon merely grows annoyed and throws the conjoined twins into the control panel, causing the ray to randomly blast objects into [[Transwarp|unspace]]. The two manage to annoy Astrotrain enough that he inadvertently destroys the control panel and knocks the ray off-course, causing it to go berserk and send Ratchet's platform into unspace. Rack'n'Ruin throw the stabilizer to Ratchet, while the ray hits the door as a tug-of-war breaks out between Ratchet and Dead End, revealing Shadow Striker and Soundwave trying to break in.

While the Decepticons are distracted with the haywire multiverse ray (not to mention each other), Ratchet heals Jetfire before they and Rack'n'Ruin make a break for it. The ray hits Astrotrain, sending him into unspace. Gleeful that the weapon worked, Astrotrain opens a portal back to his new universe just in time to see the Autobots escape. All three are congratulated by Optimus, celebrating with a three-way high-five.

'''In search of Windblade, Grimlock journeys with Bumblebee to prehistoric Cybertron.'''

==Synopsis==
Exploring [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s underworld with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]], [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] contacts [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] to show off the now-flowing [[energon]] rivers. Hot Rod's not that keen on the place, as it's where he almost died in combat with [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] and emerged to find the [[Quintesson]]s had taken over. Bumblebee and Grimlock resume their search for [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] — Grimlock detects her psychic shard in the tunnels below them and as the way has been blocked by the energon river, he transforms to dinosaur mode intending to break through the ground. Instead the ground crumbles and the pair are swept away by the energon river.

Awakening at the bottom of a waterfall, Bee finds himself alone with Grimlock nowhere in sight. What ''is'' in sight is a huge metropolis of energon. As he marvels at a tower, he is jumped from behind by [[Stinkus]], who starts draining his energon until he is rescued by the city's residents. The residents take him into the city proper, showing off a statue and introducing themselves as [[Energon Master]]s. Bumblebee realizes he should look for Grimlock, but the Energon Masters persuade him to come to the first energon party of the evening where they are sure someone can help. Bumblebee is impressed by the party and assumes it is a charity event when he sees grand leader [[Affluous]] taking energon donations. However, he is proven wrong moments later when they reach the target of one million cubits and it turns out the energon is to power a fountain that showers everyone present with energon. Bumblebee is appalled at the waste, which offends Affluous. The moment is defused as the [[Operatus|party's singer]] is suddenly paralyzed by an energon surge, a condition Affluous identifies as "the shocks", and enclosed in a bubble to be taken away. Affluous suggests Bumblebee should leave but when he tries to transform, he also suffers from the shocks and the guards take him away as well.

Elsewhere, Grimlock is unable to find Bumblebee, instead encountering a fleeing [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]]. When Grimlock sees the swarm of [[Injector (Cyberverse)|Injectors]] pursuing the bug, he flees as well. They reach the rest of Repugnus's tribe, but while they hide safe in their burrows, Grimlock's too big to fit and the Injectors attack him. Enraged after they sting him in the rear, he swats one away with his tail and scares off the others with his [[fire breath]]. Repugnus labels Grimlock a hero after this and offers up his last cup of Energon. As it turns out, the Energon Masters have hoarded the rest of the energon, leaving the bugs to scavenge for scraps. Grimlock is unhappy about this and sets out to get energon for everyone.

The guards lead Bumblebee to a cell and throw him in. He demands to be let go, but Affluous is happy with the way things are and knows Bumblebee will stir things up if he is set free. Once Affluous leaves, Bumblebee recognizes the singer from the party, who says she gets the shocks every time she tries to do something. A bug prisoner named [[Teknicus]] reveals that he knows why and admits it is all his fault.

On the edge of the city, Grimlock and Repugnus' tribe assault a guard by the tower. Bumblebee powers up with [[multiverse]] energy and busts through the jail wall, starting a jailbreak. As Repugnus' tribe drink from the energon river, Affluous directs his guards to attack only for Grimlock to knock them flying before advancing on the Energon Master leader. Bumblebee and the freed prisoners arrive, at which point Bumblebee explains that both Repugnus' tribe and Energon Masters have more similarities than they realize. Although Repugnus is confused and Affluous angrily denies this, Teknicus reveals that Affluous had him build the tower that causes the shocks. Bumblebee blasts the tower, destroying it. One by one, the Energon Masters involuntarily transform into bug-like creatures similar to Repugnus. Likewise, Repugnus' tribe assume robot modes that look like the Energon Masters. Affluous protests he is not a bug only to involuntarily transform into bug mode and runs off in dejection. Bumblebee and Grimlock find Windblade's psychic shard in the remains of the shock tower. As they retrieve it, Grimlock notes that they will have quite a story for the restored cityspeaker.

'''Bumblebee must travel to Cybertron's forbidden moon to help Windblade.'''

==Synopsis==
''On a newly-discovered planet, [[Meteorfire]]'s hunt for alien life reaches fruition with the discovery of an alien. His partner [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]] is attacked by their leader as the intro begins for... [[Alien Hunt!]] With Meteorfire! And Cosmos!''

In the sickbay, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] has detected another of [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]'s psychic shards on [[Moonbase 3|Luna 3]], the forbidden moon. Luckily, [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] knows a 'bot who can break him in. Following her directions to a beat-up old RV, he finds an Autobot sitting sulkily, watching reruns of ''[[Alien Hunt!]]'' while chugging mugs of [[Energon]]. The bot mourns the loss of his partner as he watches a rerun of her abduction. He turns off the screen as Bumblebee enters, the scout becoming starstruck as he realizes he is speaking with Meteorfire, the star of ''Alien Hunt!''. Explaining his circumstances, Meteorfire signs a mug and gives it to Bumblebee, who loses the starstruck vibe enough to recruit him to infiltrate Luna 3. The former TV star agrees, using this as an opportunity to film a new episode for his show.

Disabling the quarantine generator, Meteorfire makes his way inside the shield with Bumblebee close behind. Although Bumblebee tracks Windblade's shard to the moon's dark side, Meteorfire disregards this in favour of scouting out the old communications hub, to Bumblebee's exasperation. Meteorfire plays back a recording of the previous inhabitants of the station which abruptly ends, then an apparition of [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] reaches from the screen, causing Bumblebee to flee the building in terror. Outside, he is greeted by a similar image of [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]] before coming under attack by phantom [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]]s. Returning fire, Bumblebee manages to hit a few of the Seekers—and one of Meteorfire's drones—before they disappear.

As they make their way closer to Windblade, Meteorfire alerts Bumblebee that his body is possessed. After twisting his own head backwards, Meteorfire behind attacking Bumblebee, all the while giving instructions on how to avoid his attacks. Finally Bee gives him a jolt and frees him from the spirits that had possessed him. They find Windblade's shard in what Meteorfire dubs a [[obicular-class parasitic entity]], explaining its telepathic abilities were responsible for his prior possession and the visions of Bumblebee's fears. Meteorfire determines the only way to get close is to approach it without fear. Although he puts on a brave face, Meteorfire's fear overtakes him when the entity surprises him and begins consuming him. Charging up with multiverse energy, Bumblebee kills the alien with a single punch. This frees Windblade's psychic shard, which he collects.

Another surprise comes when Cosmos emerges alive from the wreckage, reuniting her with an overjoyed Meteorfire. As it turns out, the entity took Cosmos prisoner so she could take it to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] so it could feed off the whole planet, but she was able to force it to crash on Luna 3. Later at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] and [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] watch the new episode of ''Alien Hunt!'' and are overjoyed it's back on the air.

==Quotes==
"This is going to make a great episode! Did you see my head?"
:—'''Meteorfire'''

"Now hold on, you're new to this alien hunting. I've had a lot of experience; I can control my fear. Ahhhhhhhh! Help! Help me!"
:—'''Meteorfire''' is attacked by the entity.

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*By the end of this episode, 40% of Windblade's scattered mind has been gathered.
*Meteorfire's collection of alien junk includes a [[cave monster]] from "[[The Journey]]", a picture of the "horse" from "[[Sabotage]]", a picture of [[Transwarp|unspace]], the corpse of a [[Quintesson]] [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutor]], and the head of one of the insect aliens from the opening flashback of "[[The Citizen]]". Most notable among the collection are the heads of the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] of their universe, including [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], confirming his death in "[[The End Of The Universe IV]]".
*The entity haunts Bumblebee with ghostly images of several dead 'bots. The first to appear is Shockwave, who died trying to corrupt the [[AllSpark]] in "[[Battle For Cybertron IV]]". The second is Blurr, who died from the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Rust Plague]] epidemic on [[Velocitron]] way back in "[[Terminal Velocity]]". The rest are Seekers, presumably those who were killed by Starscream in "[[I Am The Allspark]]".

===Transformers references===
*Cosmos is a new female version of the Autobot [[Cosmos (G1)|UFO]] from Generation 1. Her design is based off the Legends Class [[Cosmos (G1)#Generations|toy mold]] introduced in ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#T30|Generations]]'' but with the mouth plate replaced with a visible mouth and the single visor substituted with a pair of separate optics.

===Real-world references===
*Meteorfire's characterization is a loving parody of the late, great {{w|Steve Irwin}}.
*While he is (largely) possessed, Meteorfire's head turns 180 degrees, in reference to {{w|The Exorcist (film)|''The Exorcist''}}.

===Other trivia===
*The Cybertronian text that appears on the HUD of Meteorfire's camera reads "DRODUYDEF SUKMAR"
*Meteorfire signs the mug he's drinking from as "MFIRE".
*Surprisingly, Starscream isn't one of the Seeker ghosts to appear.

===Animation and technical errors===
*Meteorfire's visor disappears a few times in the episode.
*Arcee's backpack is at a higher position in this episode, mainly to prevent it from clipping through her seat.

'''A forgotten bot returns to Cybertron, looking for revenge.'''

==Synopsis==
On a seemlingly ordinary day at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]]—now run by [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]]—things are pretty quiet and casual... until a hooded stranger enters demanding the location of [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]]. When Perceptor replies with "Who's asking?", the newcomer grabs his pistols and shoots the [[Energon]] mugs on the bar before answering "the past".

As a shuttle lands on the Decepticon side of Cybertron, a mysterious bot steps out, shooing the shuttle away as he makes his way towards the city. Seeing [[Ramjet (Cyberverse)|Ramjet]] and [[Dirge (Cyberverse)|Dirge]] amuse themselves by harassingly shooting a Decepticon trooper, the mystery bot points out the unfairness of their game. The two [[conehead]]s try and make it fair by pointing their [[null-ray]]s at the newcomer... who effortlessly snipes off their barrels before they can even fire a single shot. Intimidated by this disarmament, the coneheads opt to flee. The harassed trooper thanks his supposed savior only to be bombarded with pistol fire as the mystery bot demands the location of Optimus.

Making his way into [[Croaton]] City, the mystery bot gets ambushed by the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticon]]s. A showdown soon breaks out and the mystery bot overpowers their attacks, leaving [[Shrapnel (Cyberverse)|Shrapnel]] and [[Bombshell (Cyberverse)|Bombshell]] incapacitated. He then lassos [[Kickback (Cyberverse)|Kickback]], catching a ride on his back to the town square. A furious [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] initially threatens the newcomer, but quickly sees an ally upon hearing him demand Optimus Prime. Leading him to the borders, Megatron offers a spot on the Decepticons to the newcomer before he takes off.

Muscling his way past a border, the newcomer follows a rancher's advice to Maccadam's, where a patron leads him to Cobalt Springs. Sure enough, Prime is there assisting in restoration efforts, including the erection of a massive Energon tower. Unfortunately, the tower is felled by a stampede. After saving a few civilians, Prime comes face to face with the saboteur, who eventually reveals himself to be a former crew member of the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' by the name of [[Wildwheel]].

''As the ''Ark'' set off through the cosmos, Wildwheel and a few other Autobots ended up in stasis. Unfortunately, the ship had a hull breach, and Wildwheel was one of the many who fell through. His pod bursting open midway through the atmospheric re-entry, Wildwheel crashed on [[Earth]], landing in a swamp. Millions of years passed until he finally broke free, but by then it was the time of the wild west. Despite his apprehensions, Wildwheel had to become an outlaw to survive, and committed thousands of crimes across the universe just to get a ride home.''

Concluding his story, Wildwheel stated that he was one "the good guys" until Optimus left him on Earth to rot. A sorrowful Prime apologizes, and Wildwheel responds by scaring the citizens on the sidelines. Prime offers Wildwheel a chance to rejoin the Autobots, but the outlaw refuses by shooting Optimus and a civilian who tries to fight him. This merciless act convinces an outraged Prime to a standoff, and he promptly wins the showdown. Once again offering a chance to rejoin the Autobots, Optimus can only watch with guilt as Wildwheel refuses yet again and heads off to Decepticon territory, knowing his life as an Autobot is over.

==Quotes==

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*Wildwheel's stasis pod was one of those seen getting sucked out of the ''Ark'' during Grimlock's flashback in "[[King of the Dinosaurs]]". (Hey, we totally called that it would be plot-relevant one day! Though we still don't know what happened to the other one.)
*As confirmed by [[Mae Catt]], Perceptor has permanently taken over [[Maccadam]]'s [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|bar]] since his demise in "[[The End Of The Universe III]]".<ref name="Q+A">"[https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/613237429097365504/i-absolutely-didnt-go-back-through-and-edit-this Transformers: Cyberverse – Mae Catt Q&A Session (Unedited Edition)]"</ref>
* Speaking of Perceptor, his optics are ''still'' fried from his prison break in "[[Battle For Cybertron I]]". Even if his microscope fills in for them just fine, you would think [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] would at least take a look at them.

===Transformers references===
*In his flashback, Wildwheel can be heard calling to [[Jazz (Cyberverse)|Jazz]] as he enters his stasis pod.

===Real-world references===
*This episode features all the tropes of a story about the wild west, including a ranch, bar scenes, creature riding and even a showdown.
*The title is a play on "Wild Wild West."
*Though Wildwheel himself is an entirely new character, his design—namely the hat, poncho, and gun-slinging skills—are based on the {{w|Man with No Name}} of {{w|Sergio Leone}}'s "Dollars Trilogy".

===Other trivia===
*In fairness to Wildwheel's grudge, irrational and misplaced though it may be, in all this time none of his former crewmates have been shown sparing even a passing thought for him or his whereabouts. No wonder he's pissed. Of course, the out-of-universe explanation is that Wildwheel was not conceived until this episode.
*Shrapnel's robot mode is seen on-screen for the first time, as he mostly appeared in insect mode in previous episodes.
*According to Catt, [[Skullcruncher (Cyberverse)|Skullcruncher]] works as the bouncer in Maccadam's after Perceptor took over the bar.<ref name="Q+A" />

'''Searching for Windblade, Bumblebee and Chromia discover that the legendary Crystal City holds many secrets.'''

==Synopsis==
''On a moonlit night, an [[Autobot]] and a [[Decepticon]] rush out of a Cybertronian forest in a maddened panic. At the entrance, the Autobot quickly scribbles a warning onto a rock for future travellers before a howl sends the two racing off. Stalking out of the woods, a crystalline wolf glares at their retreating forms and howls at the moon.''

In the present day, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] race through the Cybertronian wilderness, Chromia explaining how a [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] psychic tracker can locate the fragments of [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]'s overextended mind. Despite the ominous warning, Chromia cheerily leads Bumblebee into the overgrowth, the tracker leading them to the mystical [[Crystal City]]. Entering, Bumblebee is amazed by the empty city's beauty, though Chromia gripes about how the crystals are messing up the tracker. As they press onwards, neither witness their reflections exiting the walls.

In the city centre, the tracker's glitches forces the two Autobots to split up, both running across the other's crystalline double and herded back to the square. Though the duo attempt to fight back, the doubles are impervious to their energy weapons. When Bumblebee is forced back, the wall sprouts crystals that drag him into it before he channels his [[Multiverse|multiversal]] energy, shattering the wall, the doubles and freeing a large wolf-bot from its crystal prison.

As Bumblebee tends to his friend, the wolf stalks towards them, teeth bared... only to pounce on another double of Bumblebee. After transforming to robot mode to take out another Chromia copy, the stranger thanks the two Autobots for freeing him and introduces himself as [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]]. Once a Knight of the [[Prime (rank)|Primes]], Thunderhowl was dispatched by his Liege Prime to destroy Crystal City only to wind up trapped. Quickly allying, the trio head off for the castle, where Windblade's mind is located, as Bumblebee catches Thunderhowl up on recent events.

When the three enter the castle, they quickly come across the Crystal Maze. While Thunderhowl suggests a back-to-back infiltration, Bumblebee and Chromia opt to simply charge up with multiverse energy and smash through the walls, a bemused Thunderhowl following. Smashing their way past the duplicates, the trio comes upon the [[Crystalline King]], with Chromia detecting Windblade's shard inside it.

Boldly, Thunderhowl prepares to charge the entity only for the King to generate an army of Windblade clones. As she and Thunderhowl fight them off, Chromia instructs Bumblebee to destroy the King. Clambering up the throne, Bumblebee is greeted by more clones before he summons his multiverse energy, shattering the entity and freeing Windblade's psychic shard, which Chromia quickly absorbs.

Without the King however, the city begins to collapse, sending the questers fleeing. Back in [[Iaconus]], Bumblebee and Chromia deliver the shard to [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] who quickly gets to work on Windblade while Thunderhowl pledges his loyalty to [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]]. Having, quite literally, a lot of weight on his hands, Optimus quickly inducts the beastformer into the Autobots.

*Chromia reveals that Windblade's mind got shattered in five psychic fragments upon freeing [[Croaton]] in "[[The End Of The Universe IV]]". By the end of this episode, she and Bumblebee have gathered 20% of Windblade's mind.
*Thunderhowl appears to have been trapped sometime during the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]] given his questions about [[Iaconus]] and the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s conquering of other planets, all details that were established in "[[The Citizen]]".
*Thunderhowl mentions he was serving a Prime, but funnily enough that Prime goes ''conspicuously'' un-identified. However, we know [[Maccadam]], later revealed to be [[Alchemist Prime]], was around and about at the time, leading the colonization efforts. Hmm...
**Considering his wolf mode, it is possible that Prime might be [[Onyx Prime|Onyx]], who has ancient connections with beast-mode Transformers.

===Transformers references===
*Crystal City was introduced ''waaaaaayyyy'' back in the 1985 ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' episode "[[The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme]]". It's shown up in plenty other pieces of fiction since then, but this is the first time it's reappeared on television in all that time.

===Real-world references===
*Fantasy tropes; such as knights, ye old tongue, a mysterious forest, and a quest; abound in this episode. Even the music in the forest is suitably fantasy-esque.

===Other trivia===
*Interestingly, the opening flashback shows a [[generic]] Autobot and Decepticon duo working together. Seeing as they looked desperate to leave Crystal City, it is implied that they teamed up to survive.
*The Cybertronian message the pair leave as a warning reads "Yo man this place ain't cool I would deffo not go in"
*This episode introduces a new breed of [[mechanimal]], a [[singlehorn]], essentially a Cybertronian [[unicorn]].

'''In an attempt to find his missing friend, Bumblebee goes on a spy mission into Decepticon territory.'''

==Synopsis==
Border guards [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]] exchange curiosities, amazed by the new powers that some bots have gained from [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] arrives and shows off his new skills before heading into the Decepticon territory. Both guards then remember the rules and Clobber is scolded by Lockdown for letting Bumblebee through.

As [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] brings in [[Grapple (Cyberverse)|Grapple]]'s latest masterpiece, a statue of [[Prima]], [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] bombards him with petty redesign questions as he attempts a speech, forcing Prime to get more supplies as an excuse for peace and quiet. Meanwhile, Bumblebee is sneaking through the Decepticon half of Cybertron on a mission. Upon seeing [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]] recite a poem, he claims it as the most disturbing thing he knows before witnessing feeding [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticon]]s. Passing, he sees Megatron issuing orders out to [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]], who goes to check the border as Megatron walks off.

Helping [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]] with heavy lifting, Optimus once again finds Jetfire asking him questions. Mainly to get him out of his hair, Prime promotes Jetfire so he can make his own independent decisions. Upon finishing, Prime becomes overwhelmed by a line of other Autobots who prove quick to bombard him with further questions.

In [[Croaton]] City, Bumblebee finds [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to be absent from the [[Cityspeaker]] chamber only to be cornered by [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]], who takes him to Windblade. Shadow Striker had rescued Windblade due to having suffered a similar fate and gives Bumblebee three astrocycles to get her out... but shortens it to two after he thanks her. Bumblebee manages to make it out the door but is soon caught by [[Alphastrike]]. He throws her off by detonating Windblade's stretcher, sending her crashing into Sky-Byte. Bumblebee calls for extraction before running into hungry Insecticons and gets overwhelmed. Luckily [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] is able to notify Optimus of Bumblebee's absence. [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] comes to his rescue and the two fly off with Windblade.

Unfortunately, the alarm had been sounded. The trio are blocked off, Bumblebee being knocked out of the sky by [[Ramjet (Cyberverse)|Ramjet]] and Whirl by [[Skywarp (Cyberverse)|Skywarp]] and [[Dirge (Cyberverse)|Dirge]]. Surrounded by Megatron, the Seekers, Alphastrike, Shadow Striker, and [[Dead End (Cyberverse)|Dead End]], Bumblebee and Whirl are nearly executed on the spot by the now-empowered Decepticons. However, an Autobot attack force lead by Optimus, Wheeljack, and Hot Rod arrive, citing Windblade as a prisoner in Decepticon territory to be just as much of an offense to the peace treaty. A reluctant Megatron lets Bumblebee and Whirl off... but with a warning that the next time they cross the barrier, the Autobots will be terminated on sight. In the Autobot medical lab, [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]] proves unable to do much help for Windblade though hope arrives in the form of a knowing [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]].

==Quotes==

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*As stated by Lockdown and Clobber, a few characters have inherited the multiverse energy Megatron gave them in the previous episode.
*The Grand Imperium and its statue of Prima debuted back in "[[Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership]]."
*It is revealed that Astrotrain was recruited to the Decepticons when Megatron freed him from a tyrant known only as "[[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|The Other One]]".
*Hot Rod is back to his original red coloration, which was last seen in "[[Battle For Cybertron III]]".

===Transformers references===
*Jetfire questions Optimus about the reconstruction of [[Trion Square]], a location in Iacon first introduced in the [[2005 IDW continuity]].
*Sky-Byte is seen speaking poetry to several other Decepticons, much like his 2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Sky-Byte (RID)|counterpart]] often did.
*This is the first time Dead End uses his battle mask. The way the battle mask is colored further proves the similarities his color scheme and that of [[Dead End (ROTF)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Dead End]].

===Real-world references===
*TBA

===Trivia===
*Astrotrain is seen in his robot mode for the first time, revealing that this incarnation's vehicle mode is to [[Scale|scale]] with his robot mode, as he towers over even Megatron.
*Clobber's an Autobot now! Let's hope her tenure's longer than [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]]'s was.
*Optimus and Bumblebee have now taken Cybertronian alternate modes, though they barely show traces of their [[kibble]] being altered in robot mode.
*For some reason, when the episode was uploaded to YouTube, it was released in 480p and forced into a 4:3 aspect ratio, rather than its original 1080p 16:9 resolution.

===Animation and technical errors===
*In the first shot, Clobber's insignia is still the Decepticon one. It doesn't change into the Autobot emblem until we zoom in on her.
*When Shrapnel talks, he is colored like Bombshell rather than his G1 namesake.
*Skywarp has [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]'s color palette in certain shots.

'''With the planet itself on the line, the Autobots and Decepticons each make their final plays for the Allspark.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Soundblaster (G1)|Soundblaster]] has [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], and [[Cog (G1)|Cog]] surrounded for daring to steal his [[energon]] reserves. As Bumblebee tries to reason with Soundblaster, the infrastructure-destroying virus released by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] causes a power outage, providing a diversion for Bumblebee and the Autobots to escape. As they board a transport, Bumblebee grabs his head in pain as the virus attacks his mind and falls unconscious. Arcee quickly takes control and exits Soundblaster's base.

Meanwhile, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and several [[Autobot|Autobots]] are battling the [[Sparkless]] in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. The zombie-like Cybertronians overwhelm [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]], killing her. Prime has no time to grieve her death, and continues the desperate search for the [[AllSpark|Allspark]] while fending off the Sparkless. Suddenly, the Allspark appears over their heads, and Prime transforms, bowling over the Sparkless and launching himself into the air to seize it. His possession of the Allspark causes the Sparkless to dissolve, ending the battle.

At the same time, [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage's]] hologram cloak around the [[space bridge|spacebridge]] has failed due to exhaustion, and another team of Autobots along with [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]] defend the spacebridge from a [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] attack. Due to Shockwave's virus, [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] is unable to reach Autobot Command, and Impactor prepares to make a last stand. Meanwhile, Arcee's transport arrives at the uncloaked [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and learns from [[Elita One (G1)|Elita-1]] that the virus has exposed their location to an approaching Decepticon army. But there's hope, as Cog bears gifts of stolen energon. Elita orders a jubilant Wheeljack to prepare the Ark for launch as Seekers begin to bombard it. Prime heads for the spacebridge and sends Prowl and Jetfire to assist Elita at the Ark.

At the Ark's hangar, Bumblebee awakens in the middle of battle and realizes that the virus has destroyed the [[Alpha Trion protocols]]. [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] hands a weapon to Bumblebee, and the scavenger begins actively fighting against Decepticon forces. Jetfire confronts Starscream and a team of Seekers at the Ark.

Surveying the battle, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] is informed that Optimus Prime is en route to Sector Seven instead of the Ark. Megatron is perplexed, but soon intuits that Prime not only has the Allspark, but also is intending to use the spacebridge to remove it from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] altogether. Fearing the likely destruction of Cybertron upon the Allspark's removal, Megatron orders Starscream to cease fighting Jetfire and to destroy the spacebridge, and orders Soundwave to destroy the Ark. Megatron and [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] head towards Sector Seven to destroy Prime and claim the Allspark.

Cog warns Prime about the approaching Decepticons, who then forwards the message to Mirage and Impactor. Megatron intercepts Prime on the way to the spacebridge, and they each argue that the other has caused the destruction of Cybertron. Prime refuses to let Megatron weaponize the Allspark, but Megatron counters that taking it off-world is far worse, since its removal will destroy the planet. Megatron orders his army to attack Prime and [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] just as Jetfire arrives and trades blows with his former leader.

Wheeljack activates [[Teletraan I]], and Elita commands the ship to take off after clearing a path from the surrounding Decepticons, and the Ark speeds towards the spacebridge. At the same time, Prime speeds towards the spacebridge, giving Ratchet the signal to activate it. As Ratchet runs to the control panel, Starscream aims for him; Impactor blocks the attack, saving Ratchet's life at the cost of his own.

High upon the activated spacebridge, Prime and Megatron battle for the Allspark with each of their respective teams fending each other off. Megatron wrests control of the Allspark from Prime, but Bumblebee arrives and shoots him in the back. Megatron is stunned and drops it; Prime quickly reclaims it and hurls the Allspark through the spacebridge at last, enraging Megatron. The Decepticon leader demands the death of the Autobots, only for the ground to shatter and erupt in front of him, revealing the gargantuan form of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. Omega quickly routs the Decepticons and claims that Megatron must be stopped for the good of Cybertron.

Meanwhile, Prime aids the Autobots in boarding the Ark. Elita declares that she chooses to continue fighting on Cybertron. She and Prime barely have time to say goodbye before the Ark lifts away from the surface, and not all Autobots are able to board the spacecraft. As the Ark rockets through the spacebridge, there is a blinding flash of light, and afterwards, only the rubble of the destroyed spacebridge remains. His plans for the Allspark ruined, Megatron can only sigh in frustration.

Chromia wonders if the Ark made it through safely; Elita replies that they must honor the sacrifice of every Autobot who died on the ship. She knows that the war hasn't ended, and exhorts Chromia and Red Alert to continue fighting the good fight against Megatron. Jetfire emerges from the wreckage of the spacebridge and joins their group.

''Elsewhere, a slow beeping is heard. Teletraan-1 issues a warning: unknown vessel approaching''...
