[[Image:PrimeOptimus.jpg|thumb|250px|Megatron awakened within him a secret yearning. The slashfic writes itself.]]<br />
The robot who would become '''Optimus Prime''' was a lowly data clerk, but it wasn't until he heard of a rogue gladiator named [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] and his call for an upheaval of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s society that he realized he was unsatisfied with his lot in life. Freedom to make your own choice should be the right of all sentient beings! Little did he realize that his boss, the archivist [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]], knew of a secret potential within the data clerk, and that Cybertron's history was at a precipice. Once he and Megatron discovered they did not have as much in common as they once believed, the lowly data clerk was promoted by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] to be the next [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]. <br />
<br />
Over the centuries, loss and war have led Optimus to appear stern and serious to most. But scratch the surface, and you'll find an individual who greatly cares for his fellow living beings, with a warmth and kindness his closet friends can rely on. You'll also find regret over the loss of a comrade to darkness, and the faintest glimmer of hope that he can be saved.<br />

===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===<br />
Like all Cybertronians, when Orion Pax emerged from the [[Well of All Sparks]], he was taught how to transform, to select a natural [[alternate mode]], and was put in a [[caste system|caste]]. At the [[Hall of Records]], Orion would read and index information from the [[Communication Grid]], but was forbidden to analyze. That was [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]]'s job, and the two became friends. Orion began monitoring Megatron's transmissions, and began a secret correspondence with him because he agreed with his beliefs. They had intense but friendly debates over the nature of free will and the dangerousness of their ideals, and Megatron suggested Orion learn how to fight for his beliefs. Orion began training with Jazz, learning to fire an [[ion blaster|ion-cannon]] and to fashion his arms into an [[energon-axe|axe]] and a [[Dual Energon Swords|sword]]. <br />
<br />
Orion made his first trip to [[Kaon]] to meet Megatron in person at his base. Megatron was the only gladiator who gave Orion a warm welcome. Terrorists began bombings in Megatron's name, and he made his first public announcement on the Grid, stating he was not responsible for the attacks and would bring the perpetrators to justice. Orion followed him up with a speech of his own. Orion trusted Megatron, believing if he were responsible for the attacks, he would have wanted to be associated with them. Later, when [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] took him to meet Megatron at an arena beneath the [[Observatory of Iacon]], Orion was shocked to see Jazz in attendance, and that Megatron had heard rumors about the bombings but did nothing to prevent them.<br />
<br />
[[Image:War for Cybertron comic - Orion testimony.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Lookin' awful buff and armored for an insignificant young library clerk. One has to wonder if the [[Guilds of Cybertron|Guilds]] may have dropped the ball on this one.]]<br />
When "[[Decepticon]]s" kidnapped [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]], Orion requested Alpha Trion arrange an audience with [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for him and Megatron now that most Cybertronians. During their hearing in the [[High Council Tower]], Orion rigorously defended their ideals, even reviving the ancient philosophical phrase "[[Autobot]]s" to describe the autonomy his brethren sought. It was then Councilor [[Halogen (WFC)|Halogen]] declared Orion the new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]: Optimus Prime. An outraged Megatron accused his brother of treachery, and then murdered Halogen. When Optimus ordered the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] to not harm Megatron, Megatron declared Optimus had fallen into the trappings of power the High Council had foisted upon him, and those in attendance dispersed, with the planet forever divided into Autobots and Decepticons. <br />
<br />
Optimus forgoed the first engagement of the war, allowing the Decepticons to take [[Fort Scyk]] so he would gain time to recruit more Autobots. Optimus learned from Jazz after the fall of Scyk that he would have to learn to not mourn every soldier. Optimus fought for the first time during the next battle, the siege of the [[Hydrax Plateau]]. The first Cybertronian he ever killed was a former industrial drone named [[Drixco]]. Afterwards Optimus confided to Alpha Trion that the act of killing alone made him feel he was on the wrong side. Despite the efforts of Optimus and [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] the Decepticons conquered the Hydrax Plateau. It was at the stalemate of [[Praxus]] that Optimus gained the indispensable allies [[Prowl (WFC)|Prowl]] and [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]]. The first Autobot victory was at [[Kalis]], a vital area due to its fusion reactor that powered Iacon. Optimus, Jazz and [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] worked together to bring down the monstrous [[Bruticus Maximus (WFC)|Bruticus Maximus]], but the battle was mostly won due to the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s' absence. As Energon depleted, the war descended into a mere siege of Iacon lasting millions of cycles, and Optimus opted to eject the [[AllSpark]] itself into space: during this battle Optimus gained another great friend in [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]. <br />
<br />
Following a lull in the war, the Decepticons began using [[Dark Energon]] and routed the Autobots, but Optimus wisely predicted it was an inefficient resource that would run out soon. To his horror, Megatron and Starscream infiltrated [[Teletraan-1]] to steal the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], and although Teletraan-1 awakened the legendary [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] to ferry the Chamber to safety, the Dark Energon-powered Decepticons overpowered the Autobots and used the Chamber to corrupt the [[Core]] of Cybertron and infested the planet with Dark Energon. During the battle, Megatron revealed he had killed Sentinel Prime below the High Council Tower to gain access to the Chamber. Afterwards Prowl picked up a message from Sentinel on the Grid, and Optimus, realizing he had not found Sentinel's body in Iacon, deduced Sentinel was alive. When Optimus, Jazz and Prowl rescued him from Kaon Prison, they found the city strangely deserted. Optimus believed Dark Energon was having a severe effect on Decepticon morale. When they found Sentinel, he was dying. He regretted his overlong reign as Prime, and that the High Council had made the right decision in appointing Optimus Prime. He finally told him he had to go to the Core and purge its corruption of Dark Energon. <br />
<br />
After Sentinel's funeral in Iacon, where Optimus was officially appointed Prime after holding the de facto position for so long, he journeyed to the Core with Bumblebee and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] and removed the Plasma Energy Chamber. It was then a voice from the Core told Optimus he was too late, and the Autobots would have to leave Cybertron as the planet healed itself. But it finally bestowed upon him the [[Matrix of Leadership]], the essence of [[Primus]], explaining that while Sentinel lived, he was still Prime, and that he had been unworthy of the Matrix. It told him that when the day came that they would return to Cybertron, the Core and the Matrix would restore the planet and Optimus would lead the Autobots in an "age of unimagined wonders". Afterwards, Optimus launched [[Ark (WFC)|Project Generation One]], to build a ship — that Jazz dubbed the ''Ark'' — to take them to the stars, a plan some Autobots objected to.<br />
<br />
But before their exodus, Optimus planned to fool Megatron by gathering every spaceworthy vessel and having them rendezvous at what was apparently the last remaining [[space bridge]] in orbit. Megatron ordered [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]] fire on the ships, but Optimus ordered a fallback as he, Jetfire, Jazz, Ironhide, Prowl, Sideswipe and Bumblebee flew the ''[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]'' to board the monster and knocked him from orbit by blasting his [[Spark]] containment field. Optimus's team returned to find the ''Ark'' ready at the Well of All Sparks, and bid goodbye to those—including Jetfire, Magnus and Omega—who stayed to fend off Trypticon as he transformed to attack. Optimus also bade farewell to Alpha Trion, who believed [[Vector Sigma]] would protect him when the rest of the planet would be unable to sustain life: it was then Optimus realized Alpha Trion was one of the [[thirteen original Transformers]].<br />
<br />
Yet as the ''Ark'' took off the Decepticons overran Iacon and Megatron and his elite boarded Trypticon, who transformed into a ''Nemesis''-class cruiser and pursued the Autobots. Megatron used his and Orion's old frequency to inform Optimus that he would pursue him across the stars and eventually kill him. The ''Ark'' entered the last space bridge and emerged with the ''Nemesis'' gone. They were near a [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]] and Prowl detected the AllSpark. Knowing the Matrix within would help them find a way home, Optimus vowed that the Autobots would continue to wage their battle across the stars. {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}<br />

From [[Earth]], Optimus sent an encrypted message directing the Autobots to their new world. When [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] landed, Optimus and Bumblebee detected them and came to retrieve them. For Optimus to find them under attack from [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] was no matter, for Optimus crushed the air commander and sent his brawny accomplice running. Optimus picked up the wounded Arcee, and took her through a [[ground bridge]] to his base for Ratchet to repair her, while informing Cliffjumper that while his journey was over, their battle was just beginning. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (comic)}}<br />

When the Great War began, Optimus and Megatron were close allies, almost like brothers. But Megatron's ideals were corrupted by the war, and he and Optimus became bitter enemies. During the war, Optimus encountered [[Skyquake (Prime)|Skyquake]] at the [[Battle of Technar]] when the Decepticon was sent by Megatron to kill him. {{storylink|Masters & Students}} After Cybertron was abandoned, the Autobots eventually came to Earth, where they came into contact with the human authorities. They allowed the Autobots access to an [[Autobot Outpost Omega One|abandoned missile silo]] in exchange for keeping the Decepticon threat contained. Agent [[William Fowler]] became their primary contact with the outside world. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising1-fairquestion.jpg|thumb|300px|Do you have your grandfather's glasses — er, wait.]]<br />
Prime was out on the road when [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] alerted him to [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]'s predicament. Optimus decided that the best way to get to the location quickly was via [[GroundBridge|ground bridge]], and ordered everyone back to [[Autobot Outpost Omega-1|base]]. By the time they reached the battle site, Cliffjumper and the Decepticons were gone, leaving only an untapped [[energon (fuel)|energon]] deposit. With Cliffjumper apparently dead, Optimus gave a speech in eulogy.<br />
<br />
Sometime later, some humans became involved in a Decepticon encounter, and Optimus made the decision to send [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and Arcee to bring them back to base. The pair returned with three humans, and Optimus told them about the Transformer war, and that he feared that Megatron would soon return. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} While he was discussing how the Autobots would have to protect the three kids, Agent Fowler dropped by to complain about the mayhem caused during the encounter. Optimus defused Fowler's mood as much as possible, and the agent left. [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] detected the reappearance of Cliffjumper's signal, which prompted Optimus to lead a rescue attempt.<br />
<br />
Arriving in an energon mine by Ground bridge, the Autobots fought their way through hordes of Decepticons and eventually found Cliffjumper, however they were interrupted by Starscream dropping a bomb right into the energon. The team sped through the mine ahead of the explosion until Optimus ordered Ratchet to open the ground bridge back to base. They arrived back just ahead of the blastwave, and Arcee informed them all that Cliffjumper had somehow been changed by the Decepticons. When the kids made noises about going home, Optimus assigned three of the Autobots to watch over them. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising3-disgust.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Ewww! Zombies!]]<br />
Optimus came to the aid of Ratchet when one of the medic's tools came to life. He quickly realized that Megatron was planning to use the Dark Energon that had animated it to create an army of undead Transformers. Once the other Autobots had returned to base, he left Arcee in charge and took Ratchet with him on a mission. As the pair walked, he explained that during the war, some of the battles had taken place on worlds other than Cybertron, including one on Earth. The site of that, one of their greatest battles, was now a graveyard. They reached said graveyard, but so did Megatron, who used a sliver of Dark Energon to reanimate the buried corpses into an undead army. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Optimus Prime Ratchet Zombies Darkness Rising 4.jpg|thumb|300px|Give me your face and I'll shoot it.]]<br />
Though horrified at Megatron's actions, the pair began fighting the zombie horde. Ratchet quickly found that dismemberment was the best way to deal with them, so Optimus brought out his twin swords. They found that the exposure to the Dark Energon began to sap their strength, and Optimus's announcement that they needed to fight on was followed by them both disappearing under piles of zombies. Optimus broke free before digging Ratchet out, and they continued to fight until they eventually ran out of zombies. Prime scaled the rock Megatron was standing on, but the Decepticon leader flew off, leaving them to ponder his parting words.<br />
<br />
Back at base, Optimus was disappointed to find that [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] had let the kids go out into battle. He respected Jack's wish to be kept out of the war, though he feared that all humans were at now risk. His fears proved grounded, as intel brought back by Miko suggested that the Decepticons had a [[space bridge]], though which they could bring an army of zombies from Cybertron. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising5-OptimusPrimeguns.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Pssst, Prime, your barrel openings are just painted detail.]]<br />
<br />
Optimus made the decision to use the ground bridge to reach the space bridge terminal, which Ratchet had located in orbit. Once they reached the terminal, Optimus scanned the Decepticon ship and discovered that it was too damaged to properly set the space bridge's target, leading them to realize that the Decepticons were using a radio telescope array on Earth for their targeting. While the kids sorted that out, Optimus and his team came under attack from flying Decepticons but held them off until Ratchet could come up with a way to destroy the bridge for good. Optimus found himself facing Megatron in single combat, keeping him occupied while the other Autobots went to do some damage. Though Optimus fell, Starscream's warning to Megatron distracted the warlord long enough for Optimus to recover and fight him off. As the space bridge began to explode, Optimus and his Autobots jumped off through the ground bridge and arrived back at base. Optimus gave a big speech, and sent a message out into space to let those who might threaten Earth know that the planet was defended. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}<br />
<br />
Despite the victory, Optimus regretted not having been able to turn Megatron to the path of peace. When Decepticon activity was detected in an area of the desert, Optimus and Bumblebee went to investigate and found that Starscream had located and reactivated Skyquake. Optimus tried to appeal to the Decepticons to consider a truce now that Megatron had gone, but Skyquake was determined to carry out his late master's wishes and terminate Prime. Optimus and Bumblebee found themselves battling Skyquake, but when Optimus realised that the Decepticon hadn't taken on a vehicle mode yet, they retreated to a safe distance and successfully ambushed Skyquake. Their victory was shortlived, as he scanned Fowler's jet and began strafing them from the air. Following Skyquake's defeat, Optimus and Bumblebee buried him and returned to base for repairs. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Scrapheap-cloudsbreak.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Okay, ''now'' I'm ready to call Bulkhead fat."]]<br />
After Bulkhead and Bumblebee found a pod in the [[Arctic]] and brought it back to base, Optimus and Arcee went back to the Arctic to check for clues as to the pod's origin. After some time searching, the temperature sensors Ratchet had given them went off, so Optimus attempted to contact base, only to find the comms were down. The pair sought shelter, but as their temperatures slowly dropped, things looked grim. Just as they were losing hope, the ground bridge opened and ejected Bulkhead and the swarm of [[Scraplet]]s that had been causing havoc at base. The three Autobots were subsequently able to return home, and Optimus paid tribute to their human friends who had helped eliminate the Scraplets. {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}}<br />
<br />
Optimus hailed an incoming starship, which turned out to be Bulkhead's old buddy [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. Optimus greeted to Earth, but when the other Autobots decided to hold a party to welcome the newcomer, Optimus decided to go out on patrol because "Primes don't party". He therefore missed all the fun when Wheeljack turned out to be a Decepticon spy. He was around for the second party to welcome the real Wheeljack though. When Wheeljack said he was leaving to return to space, Optimus told him he'd always be welcome on Earth. {{storylink|Con Job}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Convoy-Optimustrailer.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"This here's Rubber Duck and I'm about to put the hammer down."]]<br />
When the Autobots were contacted by Fowler, whose plane had been shot down while transporting the experimental [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System]], Optimus took a team of Autobots to assist. Optimus himself hauled a [[trailer]] holding the D.N.G.S. while Fowler rode in his cab. When Fowler commented that things would have been better if the Autobots hadn't brought their war to Earth, Optimus pointed asked if evil hadn't existed on Earth before their arrival. The Autobot convoy was attacked by armed humans from a group known as [[MECH]], who attempted unsuccessfully to disconnect the trailer. The Autobots were able to make the rendezvous, passing the D.N.G.S. off to a train while passing through a tunnel. When they subsequently ran into some Vehicons, Optimus was forced to order his Autobots to break cover to fight. Fowler discovered that MECH knew the D.N.G.S. was on the train, but Optimus was sucker-punched with a tree to the face while Fowler was informing him, and Prime fell from a cliff. By the time he recovered, MECH had landed their helicopter on the plane, however just by running alongside the train, Optimus scared them off. A poor loser, [[Silas]] took out the train track ahead and Optimus went into [[maximum overdrive]], grabbing the train and physically halting it. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Optimuselectrocuted.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] were right, I should've gone for this earlier!]]<br />
When Bulkhead found evidence of an [[Energon harvester]] in [[Greece]], Optimus was concerned about the damage it could do in Decepticon hands. He and the other Autobots surrounded the museum it was being stored in, however [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] turned up. Prime stopped Breakdown's missile, but was overcome by Knock Out's [[Energon prod]]. He recovered, but only in time to see Soundwave making off with the Harvester. He, Arcee and Bumblebee went out to attempt to head off the Decepticons, leaving Bulkhead at base to help Ratchet. Some time later, the three of them were coming to Bulkhead's aid after the big Autobot tackled the Decepticons in Greece. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}<br />
<br />
After Arcee and Jack engaged in a race with [[Vince]], they made sure not to let Optimus know, as Optimus had rules against using one's power for personal gain. When the whole thing spiraled into Jack using Bumblebee for a race resulting in Vince getting kidnapped by [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]], Raf and Miko tried to play dumb on knowing where everyone was. Quickly learning what was going on, Optimus arrived on the scene just in time to find Arcee pursuing Knock Out with the boy. Optimus was able to force Knock Out off the road and rescue Vince (while ripping off Knock Out's door). When Jack, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead showed up, Optimus then suggested that they make sure Vince was returned to safety&mdash;after which, everyone would give him ''full'' explanations. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:SickMind-OPinfected.jpg|thumb|225px|left|I woke up late one morning with a black eye. Why the heck does everyone think I'm sick? I could've just been punched in the face. Really hard. ]]<br />
Ratchet informed Optimus that he found the ''Nemesis'' and a crashed Autobot ship. Optimus opted to find survivors from the latter, but they discovered it only bore victims of [[Cybonic plague]]. Getting his stricken leader back to base, Ratchet recognized that they had to find the cure aboard the ''Nemesis'''s database, as Megatron — the plague's creator — must have had a cure. Arcee and Bumblebee GroundBridged aboard the warship, discovering that Megatron survived the space bridge explosion, and was in stasis. Bumblebee underwent a [[cortical psychic patch]] to Megatron, discovering that in his dreamworld Megatron was constantly killing imaginary Primes. Bumblebee played on Megatron's desire to kill Optimus himself, rather than have him succumb to the plague, to give him the cure. Ratchet decoded the cure based on an hologram Megatron showed, and Bumblebee and Arcee broke off the connection and escaped. Cured, Optimus thanked Ratchet and Bumblebee. {{storylink|Sick Mind}}<br />

In the waning days of the war for Cybertron, Optimus spotted a little yellow Autobot in trouble, and defeated the surrounding drone forces. [[Ratchet (Prime)| Ratchet]] arrived on the scene, and Optimus helped up the Autobot scout, who revealed his name was [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]. Bumblebee informed Optimus that the Decepticons had taken control of communication relays, so that the only way to contact Optimus was by messenger. Oh! And also their leader, [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]], was dead. Optimus suspected [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s hand, and was informed by Bumblebee that the [[Autobot High Council]] had gone into hiding because of this. Optimus believed that the Council would emerge during a safer time, and formed a team with Bumblebee and Ratchet. <br />
<br />
They drove to the [[Decagon]], where they found [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] battling the forces of [[Starscream (Prime)| Starscream]]. After assisting him in defeating Starscream's army, they confronted Starscream himself within the Decagon. After the trio combated and drove off Starscream, a hologram of Zeta Prime's face appeared in the center of the room, stating that he is being held in the [[Kaon]] prison complex. Optimus took Bumblebee and Sideswipe to the Kaon prison, allowing themselves to be captured so that they could infiltrate the facility. The Decepticons prepared to execute them, but [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] lent a hand so they could escape, though he himself was captured. While sneaking through the corridors, the three managed to free Air Raid, [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]], and others. They continued through the hallways, and finally located the room where Zeta is being held, only to face [[Soundwave (Prime)| Soundwave]]. The Decepticon cowered behind a force field, sending [[Frenzy (WFC)|Frenzy]], [[Rumble (WFC)|Rumble]], and [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] out to fight for him, only venturing out to administer needed repairs to his minions. As Soundwave's energy became low, he attempted to drain Zeta Prime, only to be interrupted by Optimus, who took a shot meant for Zeta. Though Soundwave and his minions retreated, the damage was done, and Zeta Prime died before Optimus could free him.<br />
<br />
Optimus brought Zeta's corpse to the site of the hiding High Council, where he lay the dead body in the center of the room. Optimus stated that the Autobots craved their guidance, but the Council stated that their mission was to choose the Primes, not to lead them. They then told him that Optimus himself is a Prime, and that he had changed the lives around him. Optimus was then told that Megatron had corrupted the core of Cybertron, and that he was the one that could remove this blight. He took this burden and responsibility, then was told by the Council that he was now Optimus ''Prime'', the last Prime. <br />
<br />
[[Image:WFC-OptimusPrimeAltmode.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Welcome to the ''Twilight Zone'' Prime.]] <br />
For a new mission, Optimus selected Ironhide and [[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]], and the team ventured to the entrance of the core, where a corrupted [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] was being tortured. After a prolonged battle, the Autobots defeated the torturers and freed Omega Supreme from the Dark Energon influence. Omega Supreme escaped, and the Autobots found some [[Space slug|space slugs]] to use as steeds. One long journey later, they reached the core and defeated a corrupted slug. Unfortunately the core itself had become contaminated, and informed Optimus as much. The only solution was for the core to reboot, which would take millions of years, during which the planet would be unusable, and Optimus realized that the Autobots would have to leave their home. Before shutting down, the core revealed the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which it installed inside Optimus Prime's chest. <br />
<br />
Optimus arrived back at Iacon, where he ordered all Autobots to evacuate the planet. Megatron announced that everyone must stay or face destruction, and fired a massive cannon installed in the Dark Energon space station. Optimus Prime ordered his Air Commander [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] to shut down the cannon with his team. They succeeded, and the station crashed into Iacon. Optimus, Bumblebee, and Ironhide discovered that the "space station" wasn't a space station at all: it was the giant Decepticon, [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. They managed to defeat the heavily-armed menace, who plunged into a pool of energon. The Autobots celebrated their victory, but noticed that ''they'' have to evacuate as well. Optimus revealed a massive starship they would use called the [[Ark (WFC)|Ark]], a ship still under construction that would allow them to take a part of Cybertron with them across the galaxy. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br />

[[Image:WFCDS Optimus Prime.jpg|thumb|right|124px|Origamimus Prime]]<br />
Optimus was a dock worker who found himself caught up in the war against the Decepticons. With the Decepticons on the hunt for the Omega Key, Zeta Prime sent Optimus and his team to protect the library, knowing he could count on his old friend. When Zeta Prime was later captured by the Decepticons, he attempted to contact Optimus. The data links keeping him in contact with the Autobots were severed, so Bumblebee tracked down Optimus at an Autobot base. Optimus subsequently rescued an [[Autobot rookie]] from Starscream, chasing the Decepticon off before joining up with Jetfire and destroying other intruders at the base. Optimus was felled by a [[laser guard]], but revived with the help of Jetfire and Bumblebee. They completed clearing the base by defeating [[Dirge (WFC)|Dirge]], and Optimus announced that the next step was to retake Iacon.<br />
<br />
He and his team entered Decepticon-occupied Iacon and destroyed the Dark Energon corruptors, allowing them to get the Decagon's defense systems back online. While they waited for Zeta Prime to make contact again, Optimus reminded Bumblebee that they couldn't let Megatron win just by giving up. Zeta let them know that he was being held in Kaon Prison, and Optimus's team infiltrated the prison in search of him. After an encounter with [[Onslaught (WFC)|Onslaught]], they ran into Megatron himself, who set more Decepticons on them. When they eventually found Zeta Prime, their leader expired. Optimus returned his body to the High Council, who appointed Optimus the new Prime.<br />
<br />
Optimus Prime attempted to solicit [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]]'s help. Grimlock challenged him to a fight to decide whether to join up, but [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]]'s capture by Decepticons sent the Autobots off on a rescue mission instead. The Autobots tracked Swoop down to a Dark Energon laboratory on the outskirts of Iacon and freed him from Dark Energon contamination. Swoop's services were subsequently offered to the Autobots by Grimlock, who said he'd follow along to protect Swoop. Analysis of core samples by Jetfire and Ratchet indicated that they would need to disable to corrupters preventing it from repairing itself. To this end, Optimus's team traveled to the core and freed it after defeating [[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]].<br />
<br />
Realising that the core needed time to repair itself, Optimus ordered the Autobots to evacuate the planet in Arks. He and his team ascended the space bridge to attack the Trypticon space station and take out its main power core. They escaped during the station's plunge towards Cybertron, but as it fell, it transformed. Optimus rallied his men against this new threat, leading the way to the crash site, where the Autobots confronted Trypticon. After the titan's downfall, Optimus and his men left Cybertron in search of a new source of energy. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}<br />

: Based on his appearance in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'', Optimus Prime transforms from a red, blue, and silver robot into an "armored truck mode." His rifle transforms as well, folding and plugging into the roof of the vehicle mode. The rifle can also peg into his forearms, and, in its compact configuration, can attach to his shoulders via peg holes on the backs of his front tires. The weapon in its compact configuration can also be stored on his robot mode back. Optimus has a stylized sculpted Autobot insignia on his back, as seen in the game, but it is obscured by [[kibble]].<br />
<br />
: An undocumented transformation step includes flipping Optimus Prime's knees out in vehicle mode to form a back bumper with tail lights. Oddly, the toy itself and the cardbox art show Optimus Prime with four fingers on each hand, while in the video game Optimus Prime has 5 fingers. The vehicle mode pictured here is minimally mistransformed: The exhaust pipes have not been rotated to hide the indentations against the vehicle body. The instructions show the rifle being plugged in by its shorter peg, but the packaging depicts the rifle stored by its grip, which keeps the weapon higher off Prime's body, but is also more secure. <br />

==Notes==<br />
[[Image:TFPrimeOptimustruck.jpg|thumb|So, it hasn't got [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|flames]]. [[Ruined FOREVER|It's still not a flat nose truck.]]]]<br />
*''Exodus'' and ''War for Cybertron'' are different continuities within the same "continuity family", so their difference on Optimus Prime's pre-Prime name is not a real contradiction in and of itself. However [[Hasbro]]'s [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172 online timeline]—meant as prequel to ''War for Cybertron''—refers to Optimus's pre-Prime name as "Orion Pax" like ''Exodus''. To confuse matters even more, in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (comic)|War for Cybertron]]'' comic, [[Alex Irvine]], in adapting scenes from his novel, still keeps the character's name as "Orion Pax", when it is also meant to occur prior the game's events.<br />
*Optimus is rather forgetful in ''Exodus''. Alpha Trion tells him twice that he had suggested to the High Council that Orion might be the Prime foretold in the [[Covenant of Primus]]. Then he tells Jetfire that the Core told him of Project Generation One, when it was a contingency plan Trion told him about, put in place since the Breaking of the Primes. Then again, leading an army for thousands or millions of years may take a strain on the bot's memory servers.<br />
*Optimus's CG model underwent modifications between "[[Darkness Rising]]" and the first season proper, with his chest windows lowered somewhat during scenes when he is not in battle. <br />
*Optimus's design resembles that of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|the ''Movie'' design]] (even having smokestacks on his back and the same alternate mode) and also incorporates the streamlined style of [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|the ''Animated'' version]]. <br />

<br />
[[Image:DeusExMachina-prettypicture.jpg|right|thumb|300px|He ain't nobody's leg any more.]]<br />
<br />
Despite a level of skill to match any Decepticon warrior's, '''Breakdown''' is almost crippled by a persistent paranoia, especially when he is in crowds. He is much happier working alone, away from the eyes he is sure are watching him at every moment. That said, he is quick to come at [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s call, as his fear of his powerful leader may be the only thing outreaching his agoraphobic tendencies.<br />
<br />
On present-day [[Earth]], he's [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]]'s assistant, apparently at some point having traded his paranoia for a bulkier frame and the bearings to match. He has also become somewhat careless in battle, having directly or indirectly damaged Knock Out on more than one occasion. He also has a dispute with [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]<br />

[[Image:BreakdownPrime.jpg|thumb|left|150px|His self-esteem ruined by his small size, Breakdown resorted to steroid use.]]<br />
Breakdown was on [[Earth]] when he received [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s signal. He found the air commander buried under rubble by [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|a little Autobot]], whom he promptly pummeled. [[Arcee (Prime)|An even smaller, blue Autobot]] shot at Breakdown, which pleased him, because it meant he was going to kill two Autobots today. At Starscream's insistence, Breakdown got him out of the rubble, and they began chasing and shooting at the Autobots. Breakdown finally cornered them and overwhelmed them with his missile launcher. As they lay dying and Starscream was about to finish them, [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] got the jump on him and shot Breakdown into the face of a mountainside, causing him to flee and fight another day. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (comic)}}<br />

[[Image:DeusExMachina-Breakdowntruck.jpg|right|thumb|200px|"Shiny. Let's be bad guys,"]]<br />
When Starscream requested that [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and Breakdown come to the ''[[Nemesis (Prime)|Nemesis]]'', Breakdown was much too busy trying to track down an [[energon (fuel)|energon]] trace. He reached an excavation site in [[Greece]], where he encountered an old friend—[[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]]—and spotted a depiction of an [[Energon Harvester]] on an ancient fresco. After breaking the fresco with Bulkhead's head, Breakdown proceeded to the ''Nemesis'', where [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] located the device in a museum. As the Autobots had surrounded said museum, Knock Out and Breakdown drew them around to the front for a fight, where Breakdown caused [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and Arcee to collide with each other and sent Bulkhead flying into Knock Out. This distraction allowed Soundwave to sneak in the back and steal the Harvester. The Harvester was successfully obtained, and Breakdown and Knock Out accompanied Starscream to the energy vein in Greece to test it out. When Bulkhead turned up there to stop them, the two Decepticons attacked him but came off decidedly second-best, as Bulkhead managed to make Breakdown hit Knock Out by accident which allowed Bulkhead to steal Knock Out's [[Energon prod]] and use it to shock Breakdown into submission. They fled once the Harvester was destroyed and the other Autobots turned up. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}<br />
<br />
Breakdown was buffing Megatron's <s>corpse</s> body when Starscream asked him where Knock Out was. Knock Out, it turned out, had been street racing with the humans again. Some time later, Knock Out radio'd Breakdown to let him know there was another street race on. Much later still, Knock Out contacted him with the news that Bumblebee' human friend had been captured. Breakdown joined the other 'Con in setting a trap for the Autobots in a storage facility. Once Bumblebee and Bulkhead turned up, Breakdown ambushed them. He was able to hold his own against the two Autobots until Knock Out announced he was bugging out, and the distraction resulted in Breakdown being knocked into a wall by Bulkhead. Returning to the ''Nemesis'', Breakdown bore silent witness to Starscream's "cosmetic punishment" of Knock Out. {{storylink|Speed Metal}}<br />

[[Image:Breakdown-WfC.jpg|thumb|right|200px|"I always feel like somebody's watching meeeeee!"]]<br />
Breakdown joined [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] and [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] in the invasion of [[Iacon]], attacking the [[Stellar Galleries]] behind the [[Autobot]]'s front lines in order to acquire the [[Omega Key]]. When it turned out [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Zeta Prime]] had moved it, Megatron lead them on a run-and-gun mission through the city to the Vault itself. Breakdown seemed most comfortable during their time in the train tunnels, even challenging Soundwave to a race. However, when Megatron told him in a paternalistic voice to "try not to get crushed by the trains", Breakdown was confused, wondering aloud if his leader had made a joke. After utilizing [[Dark Energon]] bombers to blast their way into the vault, the squad came up against Zeta Prime himself. He was utilizing a vast machine that rendered him unassailable, allowed him to control portions of the ceiling so they dropped to crush anyone in the room, and generated an arbitrary number of energon clones bearing his likeness that battled savagely in melee combat. Soundwave's interest in the clones caused Breakdown to deride him as a total nerdlinger, but he didn't have any words of mockery when Soundwave discerned the machine's weakness: a core that rapidly overheated and so had to open up to cool off. Even in defeat, however, Zeta Prime had put one over on the Decepticons, as they took from him not the Omega Key, but the device that activated it. And the Key was cranky about being woken up from its nap.<br />
<br />
Though he had shot another soldier for daring to contradict him verbally, Megatron probably realized Breakdown's last-ditch maneuver to avoid crashing into [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] against Megatron's orders had saved all their lives, and so did not summarily execute him. Nor was Breakdown shot for his constant whining during the team's cat-and-mouse chase with Omega Supreme through the upper spires of Iacon towards a platform studded with some anti-air guns, which would hopefully give them a chance to fight back against the robot of unusual size. They managed to crack open Omega's armor with the emplacements, causing him to crash, but the behemoth remained on his feet—literally, as he transformed to robot mode to continue the fight. Breakdown continually expressed amazement and frustration at the seeming unstoppability of Omega Supreme, but Megatron's confidence was proven justified, as they sabotaged the means by which the giant had been repairing himself, apparently bringing him down. Seemingly unable to believe it despite having participated in the fight, Breakdown could only note, "Uh...all hail Megatron!" Yet even then, Omega Surpreme was not defeated, badly damaged though he was. At that point, however, he was unable to continue repairing himself and his armor was badly damaged, allowing concentrated fire to finally overwhelm him.<br />
<br />
Breakdown remained at Megatron's side as he tamed Omega Supreme, gaining access to Cybertron's core and infecting it with Dark Energon. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br />

When Megatron and his Decepticons destroyed a dam they had been using, Breakdown confronted them. Breakdown declared if Megatron could prove to be tougher than he was, then he'd join the Decepticons. Breakdown was eventually defeated, and, true to his word, he joined the Decepticons.<br />

:''Bulkhead is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''<br />
[[Image:Bulkhead-Prime.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Miss me?]]<br />
'''Bulkhead''' looks huge and menacing, but he's only the former. Once you get to know him, he has a gentle soul. He's afraid of hurting things smaller and more fragile than him, but his new [[human]] friend, [[Miko Nakadai]], has helped him grow past that.<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===''Prime'' cartoon===<br />
:''Voice actor:'' [[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (English)<br />
Back on Cybertron, before he became a warrior, Bulkhead was a laborer, working in construction. He saw himself as an uneducated simpleton who could only build or break stuff. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} Later Bulkhead was a member of the [[Wrecker]]s, along with his buddy [[Wheeljack (Prime)|Wheeljack]]. He also had rivalry with [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]]. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}} He left early on in the war to join [[Team Prime]] however. {{storylink|Con Job}} Soon after the Autobots arrived on Earth, Bulkhead accidentally stepped into some power lines. [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] was impressed with the dance he did as a consequence. {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Bulkhead-Primevehicle.jpg|left|thumb|200px|And then [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s engineers get a headache.]]<br />
Bulkhead was cruising around a woodland area when [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] ordered everyone to return to [[Autobot Outpost Omega-1|base]] so they could take the [[ground bridge]] to back up [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. Unfortunately by the time they got to the battle site, Cliffjumper and the [[Decepticon]]s were gone.<br />
<br />
Sometime later, when Arcee and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] were fighting some Decepticons, Bulkhead came to their assistance, albeit late due to "traffic". One look at the three Autobots sent the Decepticons scurrying away. Bulkhead returned to base, and was there when three humans were brought in. Miko questioned him at length about how cool he was. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} During a subsequent visit by Agent [[William Fowler|Fowler]], Bulkhead asserted that the Autobots had the utmost ability in the use of force, while graphically crushing one of [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]'s tools in his fist, much to his comrade's annoyance.<br />
<br />
Bulkhead was part of the ultimately unsuccessful mission to retrieve Cliffjumper from the Decepticons, and smashed his way through a large number of the Decepticons in the [[energon (fuel)|energon]] mine. After they returned to base empty-handed, Optimus assigned Bulkhead to watch over Miko. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising3_disembulkhead.jpg|right|thumb|250px|''No'', Bulky, the slogan is get some ''nuts''!]]<br />
Miko managed to persuade Bulkhead to do some off-roading on the way back to base. Once there, Optimus and Ratchet left on a mission, placing Arcee in charge. Arcee promptly left to go patrolling with Bumblebee, leaving Bulkhead in charge. Miko's suggestion that they start a rock band was mercifully interrupted by the appearance of Fowler, who was looking to complain about the recent energon mine explosion to Optimus. He wasn't pleased to discover that the Autobots had let kids become involved in the war, but Bulkhead prevented him from taking the kids into custody. After Fowler left, the base computer picked up a distress signal from his helicopter. Bulkhead was glad to be rid of the man, but the kids pointed out that if the Decepticons had him, he could give away the location of the Autobot base. Bulkhead reluctantly let Raf track where the agent was, and went to the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Decepticon ship]] by ground bridge. He only discovered that Miko had followed him when she accidentally attracted the attention of a Decepticon, and he was forced to disembowel it. Unfortunately Jack and Raf subsequently arrived, and they too attracted the attention of the Decepticons guarding the ship. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising4-BulkheadandMiko.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Be thankful she didn't do more than heave on your car parts.]]<br />
Bulkhead snatched the pair out of the line of fire and dropped them off behind some cover. He then proceeded to drive under the Decepticon ship, scale a nearby cliff, jump on board, and trash a bunch of Decepticons before realizing Miko wasn't with the other two kids. She turned out to have stowed away inside his chest compartment, and she became a distinct liability as Bulkhead continued to fight the Decepticons. Inside the ship, they eventually ran into Arcee and Bumblebee, who'd rescued Jack and Raf from some more guards. The Autobots cleared out a room for the kids to hide in before proceeding to the brig where Fowler was being held, and Bumblebee and Bulkhead burst through the main door while Arcee slipped in through a top vent. A standoff ensued, until Fowler distracted Starscream long enough for the Autobots to start firing. Starscream thusly chased off, the Autobots took off with Fowler and rescued the kids on the way out. Bulkhead carried Fowler and Miko back to base, where he was told off by Optimus for getting the kids involved, though Miko stood up for him. After Jack decided he was better off without the Autobots in his life, Bulkhead took Miko to visit him. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising5-BulkheadMiko.jpg|thumb|250px|D'awwww.]]<br />
Once the Autobots pinpointed the location of the Decepticon [[space bridge]] in orbit, Optimus, Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead traveled there by ground bridge, though the height made Bulkhead nervous. They soon found themselves battling the hordes of flying Decepticons that came their way from the nearby Decepticon ship. Ratchet figured out a way to destroy the space bridge, so while Optimus held Megatron off, Arcee, Bumblebee and Bulkhead went to do that. No sooner had they finished than they were fired on by Megatron, who'd finally twigged to what they were doing. The four Autobots subsequently jumped back through the ground bridge mere moments before the space bridge exploded, and returned to the Autobot base. Miko was overjoyed to see Bulkhead back safe and sound. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}<br />
<br />
Bulkhead assisted Miko with her science project, holding up her model of the solar system so she could paint it. Unfortunately Ratchet decided to take over the project, relegating Bulkhead to the role of transport. {{storylink|Masters & Students}}<br />
<br />
Bulkhead and Bumblebee discovered a strange pod in the [[Arctic]] which they brought back to base. Bulkhead was disgruntled by Ratchet's insistence at post-mission medical checks. He and Bumblebee later went and picked up the kids, but after the ground bridge broke, the two Autobots were pressed into service assisting Ratchet in an attempt to fix it. The cause of the problem became apparent when Raf found a [[Scraplet]]. Bulkhead was particularly terrified of Scraplets, as he'd seen bots devoured by them, and was even prepared to abandon the base as a result, but Ratchet pointed out that would mean Optimus and Arcee would perish in the Arctic. Bulkhead went Scraplet-hunting with Miko, but mainly succeeded in embarrassing himself by screaming like a little girl whenever anything happened. Eventually they found a swarm of them and retreated back to the main control room, where another swarm descended on the three Autobots. They were rescued by the three kids, who went to repair an [[energon (fuel)|energon]] fuel line so the ground bridge could be used to expel the Scraplets into the Arctic. Once the repair was done and the ground bridge opened, Bulkhead offered himself up as bait, luring the Scraplet swarm to the Arctic, where they froze in seconds. Bulkhead returned to base for repairs, and was amused when Miko became terrified by a tiny spider. {{storylink|Scrapheap (episode)|Scrapheap}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:ConJob-Fistbump.jpg|thumb|300px|left|"Guy love, that's all it is, Guy love, He's mine, I'm his, there's nothing gay about it in our eyes."]]<br />
After he and Miko finished their chores, Bulkhead attempted to deflect her suggestion of dune bashing by bringing up the monster truck rally. They were distracted from any further plans by the news that Wheeljack was on his way to Earth, much to Bulkhead's joy. He, Arcee and Bumblebee arrived at the landing site to find Wheeljack trashing some Vehicons and he gave Wheeljack a bear hug before they returned to base and partied. Bulkhead started telling war stories, but began to grow suspicious when Wheeljack was uncharacteristically quiet. He challenged the newcomer to relate the story of the [[Battle of Darkmount Pass]]. Wheeljack got an important detail wrong: Bulkhead wasn't at that battle. The Decepticon impostor grabbed Miko as a hostage and revealed that the real Wheeljack was a prisoner of the Decepticons. After the real Wheeljack turned up and kicked the fake one's skidplate, Bulkhead took great pleasure in throwing the impostor out via the ground bridge. Sadly Wheeljack didn't stay long, but offered to take Bulkhead with him. Bulkhead turned him down, having become too attached to Miko and the rest of his friends on Earth. {{storylink|Con Job}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Convoy-Bulkheadmace.jpg|thumb|300px|"You go on, Bulk, we'll cover the rear."]]<br />
Bulkhead took part in a convoy when Fowler needed transport for a hi-tech [[Dynamic Nuclear Generation System]] device, though he wasn't happy with Optimus's order to stay in vehicle mode to conceal their presence on Earth. He warned the other Autobots about the incoming [[MECH]] cars and later helped move the D.N.G.S. to a train while the convoy passed through a rail tunnel. It was shortly after this that they were attacked by flying Vehicons, and forced to use their robot modes in the open to fight back. He, Arcee and Bumblebee spent the rest of the time fighting the Decepticons, while Optimus saved the D.N.G.S. {{storylink|Convoy (episode)|Convoy}}<br />
<br />
Miko's detention was cut short when Bulkhead arrived to pick her up and she decided to cut out early. He chastised her, and when Ratchet discovered an energon trace in [[Greece]], Bulkhead attempted to use the mission to get Miko to learn about ancient Greece. He spotted a depiction of an [[Energon Harvester]] on an ancient fresco, shortly before his old enemy [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] arrived. Bulkhead protected Miko from a pillar Breakdown tossed at her, but the 'Con then tackled him into the fresco, breaking it. Back at base, Bulkhead alerted the others to the Harvester and before long they had surrounded the museum it was in while the kids worked to steal it. When [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and Breakdown attacked, Bulkhead charged at Breakdown and was knocked flying by a punch. The Decepticons managed to steal the Harvester, and Bulkhead was left at base while the other Autobots searched for them. While he was trying to work out how to rescue Miko from the museum, Bulkhead realized that the Decepticons would probably go after the energon deposit in Greece, so he went there to confront them himself. After dealing with Knock Out and Breakdown, Bulkhead found Starscream and the Harvester a tougher proposition, but he managed to fight against the device's power long enough to reach Starscream and destroy it, while proudly noting that breaking stuff was what he did best. He and Fowler later retrieved Miko from the museum. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}<br />

'''Starscream''' was an Air Commander of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s finest air warriors. His dream was to recover the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and become the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] that would return the Transformers to the [[Golden Age]], and he saw opportunity with the rebel upstart [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]. A patient and polite schemer, Starscream used to wish Megatron would drop the heroic anti-[[caste system|caste]] charade and be more honest about his lust for power. <br />
<br />
These days, he alternatively wishes Megatron would stop being ''absolutely bugnuts'' with his lust for power and chafes under having to work for such a madman. While he serves as Megatron's right-hand man, he constantly looks for a way to become the commander himself and Megatron knows it: his expertise in patient planning is the only reason he's left alive. He is ''not'' a happy bunny when his careful, patient plans and operations are sacrificed by Megatron on whims.<br />
<br />
He may be a scientist, but [[Starscream (Prime)#Notes|we're not quite sure]].<br />

===''Exodus: The History of the War for Cybertron''===<br />
<br />
Starscream may or may not have had a history as a scientist. Regardless of what he did prior, in the early days before the war began he was one of the leaders of the Cybertronian Air Command. When [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] fell into chaos following bombings by [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon]] followers, Starscream was posted as [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]]'s bodyguard. He was with the Prime at [[Altihex]] Casino during a performance by comedian [[Armorhide (Prime)|Armorhide]] when the Decepticons attacked. Sentinel's attempt to flee rather than fight back made Starscream ashamed of his leader, so he had [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (Prime)|Thundercracker]] take him to [[Kaon]] Prison rather than the safety of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]. This earned him loyalty with Megatron, but wary of how sour a revolution could quickly turn Starscream opted not to be directly involved in the gladiator's operations, posting his Seekers at [[Moonbase One|Moon Base One]] and [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]] Station. Megatron was intrigued by why Starscream wanted to occupy "that semi-sentient pile of junk" but despite [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]]'s research they found no clues, with information regarding the Station seemingly censored.<br />
<br />
Whenever Starscream's Seekers were present, the Decepticons were victorious in battle against the [[Autobot]]s. Starscream however, found Megatron's strategies overly convoluted. As the war devolved into a siege of Iacon, Megatron and [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], by probing into forgotten areas of the [[DataNet]], discovered Trypticon was a storage of [[Dark Energon]], the life essence of [[Unicron]]. When questioned, Starscream explained since even the Air Command was not sure what Dark Energon was, he had forbidden its use, fearing the damage Megatron's gladiators would unleash. Megatron forgave Starscream, noting how he "was smart enough to be afraid of it", and was granted access.<br />
<br />
Starscream sent a message to the Autobots proposing a meeting. Optimus only granted him a communication channel. Starscream stated if the Autobots did not know what Dark Energon was (they did) they would need to find out — and asked what would he could expect from them if something happened to Megatron. Optimus replied that he sought a just peace. Starscream said he understood, broke off the conversation and flew to [[Kaon]] Prison where Sentinel was held. Starscream offered Sentinel a chance to redeem his cowardly behavior at Altihex. The ultimate aim of this road to becoming Decepticon leader was to become [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] in a peace settlement with Optimus, and lead Cybertron back to its [[Golden Age]]. Starscream then flew to Moon Base One when Megatron ordered him to Trypticon, where he found the Decepticons had invaded the Station and slaughtered and maimed his scientists. <br />
<br />
Megatron and [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] forced Starscream to select two survivors to absorb [[Dark Energon]], for what was a successful experiment. Requiring more for the Decepticon war effort, Megatron ordered Starscream to capture the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]], below the ruins of [[Crystal City]]. Empowered by his first taste of Dark Energon, Starscream activated the device that transmitted Energon to the Station for it to be Darkened. But the Bridge still did not produce enough, and Starscream was ordered to find the Code [[Key of Power]] and [[Key of Justice]] to the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] underneath the [[High Council Tower]] in Iacon. Starscream decided it was time to release Sentinel, renouncing Dark Energon after realizing Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts. Starscream found the Key of Power within the [[Hall of Justice]] and flew underground to find his plan had failed, as Megatron had mortally wounded Sentinel. He could see within Sentinel's body was the Key of Justice, but was prevented from taking it by [[Blackout (Prime)|Blackout]]. Megatron fought Starscream to a standstill, sparing him because he realized he was a better soldier than a would-be example. <br />
<br />
As Megatron entered the Chamber, [[Teletraan-1]] activated the legendary [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] to fly it away. Aware Starscream had a better chance of escaping Omega's awakening, Megatron ordered Starscream and his Seekers to down Omega, in exchange for more Dark Energon. Giving up on his attempt to give up his addiction, Starscream gleefully accepted and they successfully blew Omega out of the sky, allowing the Decepticons to retrieve the Chamber and corrupt the [[core]]. As Cybertron became uninhabitable, the Autobots left on the largest starship ever built - the ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]''. Starscream left the planet with Megatron as they gave pursuit on Trypticon, now a ''Nemesis''-class supercruiser. The two ships entered a [[space bridge]], which separated the two ships to unknown parts of space... {{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}<br />

<br />
Starscream had been on [[Earth]] at some point, but was assigned by Megatron to scour the galaxy for remnants of space bridge technology. Returning to their dead homeworld, Starscream built a weapons lab in Kaon and began building a space bridge. He was informed by his [[Eradicon]]s elsewhere they had apprehended the Autobot spy [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. Later, after basking in the glory of successfully activating the space bridge that would return them to Earth and its [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]], Starscream realized Cliffjumper was present. The Autobot claimed to be freed by his captors after defecting to the Decepticons, and warned them of [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]]: this ruse successfully distracted Starscream long enough for Arcee to activate and overload the space bridge, but he jumped in after them moments before the lab was blown sky high.<br />
<br />
Falling to Earth, a dazed Starscream picked up a [[bunny rabbit]], commenting that [[human]]s were smaller than he remembered. [[Scanning]] a fleet of jets flying overhead, he found Cliffjumper and Arcee driving on a road and launched a missile at them. He picked up Arcee's blown off arm and started battering Cliffjumper with it, but the Autobot blew up the rock formation above them and crushed Starscream with the rubble. Having received Starscream's signal, [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] came to his rescue, and the duo pursued and overwhelmed the Autobots. Just as Starscream was about to send them back to the [[AllSpark (Prime)|AllSpark]], Optimus jumped and landed on him, while gunning Breakdown away. As Starscream greeted his opponent, [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] tapped him on the shoulder and sent him flying. Optimus opted not to finish the job, allowing Starscream to escape and fight another day as he got Cliffjumper and Arcee to base. {{storylink|Transformers: Prime (comic)}}<br />

[[Image:DarknessRising1-Starscreamsneer.jpg|right|thumb|300px|One look sells him as Starscream.]]<br />
<br />
[[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] had left [[Earth]] for the depths of space three years ago, leaving Starscream in charge. Starscream spent his time sending out [[Eradicon|Decepticon grunts]] to search for [[Energon (fuel)|Energon]] deposits, and managed to set up a lucrative energon mine in secret. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}} One energon search was intercepted by the Autobot [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. Once Cliffjumper was defeated, Starscream had him brought aboard his ship, where his captive asked where Megatron was. Assuring the defeated Autobot that he was his own master, he stabbed Cliffjumper with his fist, causing the Autobot to bleed out and finally succumb to his wounds. [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] played back a transmission of Cliffjumper and Arcee's last conversation, and Starscream declared she would be their next target, sending two drones after her.<br />
<br />
Later, Soundwave picked up deep space transmissions, and a hesitant Starscream opened the space bridge for Megatron's return. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} Welcoming him to his energon mine, Starscream asked (quite snarkily) whether Megatron had raised a new army in his three year absence. His leader replied he had recovered [[Dark Energon]], the blood of Unicron himself, to the Seeker's concern; then he asked if Starscream were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, to test its abilities to raise the dead. Starscream ''declined'' his unhinged commander's request, offering Cliffjumper's corpse for the experiment. It resulted in a rabid [[zombie]] whose rampage was only stopped by Megatron slicing it in half: Starscream was left confused and unnerved by the idea Megatron intended to weaponise such things. <br />
<br />
The zombie's activation made the Autobots think Cliffjumper was alive and they raided Starscream's energon mine to find it. Starscream reported this to Megatron, upset about losing the place, and was ordered to his annoyance to bomb the mine: Megatron believed Optimus survived, however. Feeling he had not spent enough time exploring Dark Energon's secrets, he promptly stabbed a shard into his spark, and Starscream looked in horror as a purple light infused Megatron's body... {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising3-interrogateFowler.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"No, Mister Fowler, I expect you to be saved at the last minute!"]]<br />
<br />
With the success of the experiment, Megatron took off for parts unknown, leaving Starscream in charge once more. Starscream confided in Soundwave that he thought Megatron had gone a bit batty, and Soundwave responded by playing a sound byte of their master's last order. When Soundwave later picked up [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]]'s transmissions, Starscream ordered the human be brought to him. This done, he attempted to interrogate Fowler, who responded not only responded with sarcasm but demanded to see the "manager". Starscream, enraged, called for an energon prod. He offered Fowler one last chance, and when it was thrown back in his face, Starscream began jabbing Fowler with the prod, noting that energon and the human nervous system shouldn't mix.{{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Tfprimestarscreamsteppedon.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Bosses, always stepping on the little guy...]]<br />
The torture eventually weakened Fowler' to the point where he almost gave the location of the Autobot's base. However, the sound of battle outside brought about a bout of sarcasm. An annoyed Starscream shocked Fowler into unconsciousness before ordering a pair of Eradicons to find the source of the commotion. After Fowler regained consciousness, he proved to be dazed and incapable of answering anything. When Bulkhead and Bumblebee arrived and aimed their guns at Starscream, the 'Con in turn threatened to kill Fowler, only to discover that Arcee was perched above him, aiming her gun at his head. A stand off ensued, until another outburst by Fowler distracted Starscream, allowing the Autobots to fire on him. Realizing his disadvantage, Starscream fled. Once Megatron returned to the ship, he was outraged at Starscream's actions and proceeded to beat his subordinate for "delaying his plans". Starscream managed to quell his master's anger by announcing he had a way to get their plans back on course. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 4}}<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:DarknessRising5-ohgeez.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Mother.]]<br />
As it turned out, his plan was to send Soundwave down to use a radio dish array on Earth to set the space bridge's target. He kept a close eye on the team of Autobots who had appeared on the space bridge, confiding in Megatron that he thought they were up to something. When the space bridge appeared to veer off course, he contacted Soundwave to find out what was going on. Once the technical difficulties were sorted, Starscream opened the space bridge so that Megatron could throw the chunk of Dark Energon though. Starscream moved the ship back to a safe distance when the fighting on the rim of the space bridge became more intense, while imploring his master to withdraw as well. Alas, the space bridge exploded, apparently taking Megatron with it, and Starscream gave a brief eulogy before declaring himself leader. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}<br />

{{quote|Have no fear, Lord Megatron. Under my leadership, Decepticon victory is assured!|Starscream being all modest|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]''}}<br />
<br />
For the last thousand years of the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]], Starscream was in charge of an orbital facility that had the capability of producing [[Dark Energon]], though they maintained only a small stockpile because of its unpredictable and uncontrollable nature. The station's force of neutral soldiers were no match for Megatron's invading forces, while Starscream and [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]]'s repeated warnings that no one could control Dark Energon had no effect on Megatron's determination. Instead, Megatron tempted Starscream with knowledge of his past, reminding him of his demotion from Sky Commander to a mere guard over an all-but-derelict station, and offered to let him join the Decepticons, something Starscream scoffed at--at least, at first. Starscream attempted to destroy the station's stock of Dark Energon before the Decepticon leader could reach it, but failed, and watched, first with amusement as Megatron entered the storage chamber...and then with shock as Megatron infused himself with the substance and bent it to his will within moments. Starscream quickly volunteered his services for the Decepticon cause, causing [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] to label him a traitor and leave to warn Zeta Prime. Megatron sent him with [[Thundercracker (Prime)|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (Prime)|Skywarp]] to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to reactivate the [[Energon Bridge]]. Starscream performed the mission successfully using his trademark style, flair, and modesty, never mind Megatron's taunting and unreasonable impatience, or Thundercracker's warning him of the danger of certain courses of action, or even Skywarp's cluing in to his constant insults...<br />
<br />
During the Battle of [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon City]], Starscream led the Decepticons aerial squadrons and [[Brawl (Prime)|Brawl]] led the Decepticons' ground assault, while Megatron, [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]], and [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] went behind enemy lines and tried to secure the [[Omega Key]]. When Megatron's group met up with Brawl, Starscream refused to send Dark Energon bombers, saying that he wouldn't let Brawl waste anymore of "his ships". Megatron took issue with Starscream dubbing the bombers his, and overrode Starscream's refusal. Later that evening, while looking for the "real" Omega Key, they ran into it: [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]. Starscream assumed Megatron was killed when Omega attacked a dropship Megatron was heading for and declared himself Decepticon commander. Shortly afterward, Megatron managed to communicate with Starscream and ordered him to attack Omega Supreme, getting the massive Autobot off of Megatron's back. By the time Megatron's group were heading for the [[Ion turret]]s, Starscream was ready to sound a retreat, which Megatron overrode with the threat of marking any retreating Decepticon as "kill on sight". Fortunately, Megatron arrived moments later and managed to defeat Omega Supreme, making the retreat unnecessary.<br />
<br />
As the Battle of Iacon continued, Starscream fought through Jetfire and [[Silverbolt (Prime)|Silverbolt]], and attacked [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]]'s group in the [[Decagon]]. However, the Air Commander was injured by Optimus's [[Energon-axe]] and forced to retreat. The wound was apparently bad enough to cause him to sit out the remainder of the conflict. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br />

<br />
Starscream had been in control of Trypticon Space Station for years, until Megatron and his forces invaded. Megatron wished to revive the Dark Energon project to aid him in his conquest of Cybertron, but Starscream would have none of it. Megatron was able to fight his way to Starscream himself, and after a brief battle, Starscream had lost. He begged for mercy, and Megatrons spared Starscream in exchange for loyalty to the Decepticons. Starscream obliged and Megatron was taken to the core of the station.<br />
<br />
After a test run of the Dark Energon's effects on Decepticons in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only destroy the host. A furious Megatron set Starscream to work on fixing the problem, with Starscream continuously bickering with Barricade over his usefullness. The problem was eventually solved in time for an attack on Iacon City. When Megatron felled Zeta Prime and found the Omega Key, the titanic Autobot Omega Supreme was unleashed upon the Decepticons, quickly crushing them with ease.<br />
<br />
Megatron was downright furious with Starscream, declaring he had brought Omega Supreme's rampage upon them all. Starscream retorted that if it wasn't for Megatron and his blind troops, none of this would've happened. Starscream invited Megatron to kill him, but warned him it wouldn't do a thing about Omega Supreme out for their blood. Megatron for the moment let it go, and finally felled Omega Supreme, gaining total dominance over Cybertron.<br />
<br />
Sometime later, Starscream ambushed an Autobot recruit-in-training, and would've killed him if it wasn't for Optimus charging to the rescue. He wasn't seen again after that. <br />

*Starscream's backstory in Exodus is self-contradictory: <br />
:''"Not even Starscream, who had spent much of his scientific career in the labs contained within these refracting walls..."'' (p. 78).<br />
:''"See what?" Starscream asked. Neither Starscream nor Megatron were scientists."'' (p. 158).<br />
*Starscream's thin body recalls [[Starscream (Animated)|''Animated'' Starscream]], but his voice, colour scheme, Igor-like posture and subservience to Megatron recalls the [[Starscream (Movie)|live-action incarnation]]. The game design has the movie bulk but with a [[Starscream (G1)|G1]] head and colours.<br />
*Starscream's chest design is basically his live-action incarnation's head design. Now that's a visual homage.<br />

'''Bulkhead''' looks huge and menacing, but he's only the former. Once you get to know him, he has a gentle soul. He's afraid of hurting things smaller and more fragile than him, but his new [[human]] friend, [[Miko Nakadai]], has helped him grow past that.<br />

[[Image:Bulkhead-Primevehicle.jpg|left|thumb|200px|And then [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s engineers get a headache.]]<br />
Bulkhead was cruising around a woodland area when [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus]] ordered everyone to return to [[Autobot Central Command|base]] so they could take the [[ground bridge]] to back up [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]. Unfortunately by the time they got to the battle site, Cliffjumper and the [[Decepticon]]s were gone.<br />
<br />
Sometime later, when [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] were fighting some Decepticons, Bulkhead came to their assistance, albeit late due to "traffic". One look at the three Autobots sent the Decepticons scurrying away. Bulkhead returned to base, and was there when three humans were brought in. Miko questioned him at length about how cool he was. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} During a subsequent visit by Agent [[William Fowler|Fowler]], Bulkhead asserted that the Autobots had the utmost ability in the use of force, while graphically crushing one of [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]'s tools in his fist, much to his comrade's annoyance.<br />
<br />
Bulkhead was part of the ultimately unsuccessful mission to retrieve Cliffjumper from the Decepticons, and smashed his way through a large number of the Decepticons in the [[energon (fuel)|energon]] mine. After they returned to base empty-handed, Optimus assigned Bulkhead to watch over Miko. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br />

* [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] confirmed that, when he was briefly brought in early in the design process of ''Prime'', Bulkhead was originally intended to be Ironhide.

<br />

<br />
The awesomely powerful '''Megatron''' is, in many ways, a fallen hero. He rose up from the oppressed lower working castes of [[Kaon]] to become a champion in the region's illegal [[gladiatorial combat|deathmatches]], cast aside his designation of '''D-16''' and took the legendary name '''[[The Fallen|Megatronus]]'''<ref>Megatron was an abbreviation, so it'd be easier for the masses to chant his name; ''Exodus'', Chapter 3</ref> as his own, he called for an end to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s decrepit [[caste system]] and told the downtrodden that freedom of self-determination was the right of all sentient beings!<br />
<br />
But power corrupts and Megatron's Decepticon revolution, like many such movements, ended up becoming a whole new tyranny. Powerful, charismatic, violent, and full of rage for any who would stand in the way of his ambition and drive, Megatron brought Cybertron ''past'' the brink of destruction. Now he and his former brother-in-arms [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] fight on other worlds.<br />
<br />
Megatron has been gone for three years, but now he's returned. He's brought the monstrous [[Dark Energon]] to Earth, and quite possibly left his sanity in space.<br />

==Fiction==<br />
===''Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron''===<br />
Megatron nicknamed himself D-16 after the sector of the mine where he performed demolition operations. As a gladiator, in killing others he began to appreciate the value of life, and in-between matches he became something of an intellectual, debating the castes with others miners. After bosses requested he lose a few fights, D-16 killed them and took over Kaon and [[Slaughter City]]. After murdering one boss in front of his employees, D-16 declared himself Megatronus, whom he considered the greatest of the [[Thirteen original Transformers|Thirteen]]. After hearing his preaching on the [[Communication Grid]] against the [[Guilds of Cybertron]], the concerned [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] sent [[Bumper (Prime)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (Prime)|Fastback]] to investigate. Megatronus killed them, believing two lives were worthless compared to the millions doomed by the castes Sentinel created. <br />
<br />
After a victorious battle with the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]]s, in which the crowd redubbed him Megatron, the gladiator was contacted by the [[Iacon (city-state)|Iacon]]ian [[Hall of Records|records monitor]] [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Orion Pax]], and they began exchanging their ideas in intense but friendly philosophical discussions. Megatron encouraged Orion to learn self defense and invited him to visit Kaon, which he did to a warm welcome from Megatron (and from none of his gladiators). By this point Megatron was planning to call his movement the Decepticons, and he had begun sending his followers on a search for artifacts of the Primes, as their discovery would be signs their cause was just. His followers began bombing Cybertron, and Megatron distanced himself from their extremism to gain credibility. Orion and his mentor [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] believed him, but the latter was well aware Megatron may have gained a taste for violence after the attention it earned him. Soon enough, Megatron accepted the gift of a kidnapped [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] from [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:WFCcomicDecepticons.jpg|thumb|300px|The High Council keeps us subjugated with overlong conversations! They must be overthrown!]]<br />
<br />
Alpha Trion organized a hearing for Orion and Megatron with the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. They protested involvement in Sentinel's disappearance. When confronted with the phrase "Decepticon", Megatron denied any knowledge of it but accepted his followers' term wholeheartedly, stating deception was necessary sometimes for the corrupt to see the truth. When [[Halogen]] revealed Megatron's followers had been trying to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]], he declared that Orion should become the Prime that he desperately wanted to lead Cybertron into the new [[Golden Age]], and find it. Incensed, Megatron killed Halogen, and when Optimus prevented the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] from attacking Megatron, the ungrateful gladiator declared Optimus had fallen into the trap of power the High Council had given him. He declared Optimus was no longer his brother (though he would continue to refer to him as such privately), and that the Matrix would be his.<br />
<br />
In the subsequent war with Optimus's [[Autobot]]s, the Decepticons took control of eighty-five percent of the planet. Wherever Starscream's [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s aided, they were victorious. Megatron was initially merciful to neutrals, but he let Shockwave take control of [[Tarn]] and torture Autobot sympathizers there. When the [[Praxus|Praxians]], a progressive city-state who were disappointed with the direction Megatron took, allied with the Autobots, Megatron decided he would no longer try to convert followers and launched the first genocide of the war, slaughtering all in [[Nova Cronum]] who would not submit to the Decepticons as they attacked.<br />
<br />
As the war dragged into a siege of Iacon, Soundwave's spying bore fruit as he discovered [[Dark Energon]], the essence of [[Unicron]], was aboard Trypticon. Megatron forgave Starscream for hiding its existence from him, acknowledging its potentially dangerous nature. To ensure loyalty, Megatron's gladiators stormed the Station slaughtering and maiming Starscream's scientists. He forced Starscream to pick two test subjects to be Darkened, and following an astonishingly successful result, Megatron absorbed some, invigorating him. Soon Darkened Decepticons appeared on the battlefield, but it proved to be an inefficient resource and they would have to flee if a battle was prolonged. Megatron needed more, and even Starscream's activation of the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge]] didn't provide enough. Megatron felt he would kill all the Decepticons before he was deprived of Dark Energon and turn rabid.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, Soundwave revealed the existence of the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] within [[Teletraan-1]], which required the [[Code Key]]s of Power and Justice to activate it. Starscream recovered the Key of Power, while Megatron and his best soldiers searched for the Key of Justice below the [[High Council Tower]]. Sentinel Prime emerged to Megatron's surprise. Sentinel confronted him about Bumper and Fastback, and the two dueled. Megatron disarmed and sliced open Sentinel, revealing the Key of Justice within. Starscream made a grab for it, exposing that he had released Sentinel to kill Megatron and take leadership for himself. After fighting Starscream to a standstill, Megatron pardoned him as he found him a better soldier than would-be example, and used the Keys to open Teletraan-1: which activated [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] to fly the Chamber to safety.<br />
<br />
The Seekers shot Omega Supreme out of the air, causing him to crash. Optimus's Autobots arrived to fight the Decepticons, but the more they killed them the more Dark Energon left their bodies and empowered Megatron. He was able to knee Omega Supreme and turn him on his back, tearing the Chamber out of his chest. Using the Chamber, Megatron poisoned the [[core]] of Cybertron and Darkened the entire planet. But then the core stopped producing Dark Energon, and Megatron learnt Optimus had gone to the core and received the Matrix. As the Autobots attempted to flee Cybertron via the last [[space bridge]], Megatron used Trypticon to fire on their ships, and used his and Orion's old frequency to criticize Optimus for fleeing. He added he never believed in individual freedom for every Cybertronian, only the illusion of freedom that he as leader would provide and that the Guilds did not. Optimus responded that Megatron had turned his soldiers into addicts and they would turn on him, and used the ''[[Eight Track]]'' to board, sabotage and crash Trypticon. <br />
<br />
As the Autobots left on the completed ''[[Ark (Prime)|Ark]]'', the Decepticons fully invaded Iacon. Megatron ordered Trypticon to transform into the ''Nemesis'', boarding it with Starscream, Soundwave, [[Lugnut (Prime)|Lugnut]] and other elite soldiers, leaving Shockwave in charge. He used his old frequency once again to warn Optimus that he would hound him through the stars and finally kill him for the Matrix. He explained they were still brothers, as they were bonded for life despite their enmity. Optimus was just glad his hunt would get him off Cybertron. The two ships entered the last [[space bridge]] together, and when the ''Ark'' emerged, the ''Nemesis'' was gone. ''{{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}''<br />

<br />
At the beginning of the war on Cybertron, Optimus and Megatron were as close as brothers and fought side-by-side... but Megatron's ideals were corrupted by the war, and turned to evil. He and Optimus fought many a battle before, but three years before the present day, he disappeared into deep space. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 1}} <br />
<br />
{{spoiler|Darkness Rising, Part 2|December 5, 2010}}<br />
Upon returning, Megatron revealed he had discovered an element called Dark Energon, rumoured to be "the blood of [[Unicron]]": rather than form a Decepticon army, Megatron had become obsessed with using this new element that was said to raise the dead. He threatened to kill and resurrect Starscream to test it, but settled on [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|the corpse of the Autobot Cliffjumper]], and was pleased with the results, as the undead [[zombie]] ran amok on the [[Eradicon]]s, killing two in succession. Megatron viewed this as a successful field test, so when the Cliffjumper zombie charged at him, he merely unsheathed his blade and cut it in two. While the Autobots attacked an energon mine to retrieve Cliffjumper, Megatron attempted to fathom a way to control the power of the Dark Energon. Upon learning of Optimus's presence in the mines, believing it was not yet time for a confrontation, Megatron order the mines blown and the [Nemesis (Prime)|''Nemesis'']] to depart. He wasn't convinced however that Optimus had been killed, and once more began brooding on the Dark Energon. <br />
<br />
Being a logical and sane chap, he decided the best way to control it would be to shove some of it ''into his spark''. His armor began to sizzle purple smoke, and his eyes glew bright purple...{{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 2}}<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|Darkness Rising, Part 3|December 8, 2010}}<br />
The "experiment" proved a success, and Megatron felt as though he was connected to Unicron's thoughts. It provided him with the knowledge he needed in order to put his plan into action. Leaving the ''Nemesis'', Megatron headed for the site of an ancient Cybertronian battle on Earth, full of the remains of fallen warriors. He arrived at the same time as Optimus and Ratchet, and after a brief session of goading them, used the Dark Energon fragment he was carrying to raise an army of zombies. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 3}}<br />

[[Image:WFC_Megatron.jpg|thumb|350px|He wants the whole world in his hand.]]<br />
During the early war on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron found reference to an energy source called [[Dark Energon]], which had impressive potential as a weapon, and became determined to claim it for himself. One of the few places it was made was in a station in orbit around Cybertron, guarded by a politically neutral force led by [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]. With this knowledge, he took a ship and launched an assault on the station.<br />
<br />
The ship was badly damaged in the attack, and so he ordered [[Barricade (Prime)| Barricade]] and [[Brawl (Prime)| Brawl]], piloting it, to ram the station. He and many of his soldiers survived the impact and escaped the core's detonation. They were then confronted by Starscream, who informed them that they would not allow them to take what he had guarded for ten thousand years. After surviving a trap of sentry guns, Megatron, Barricade, and Brawl were reinforced by more of Megatron's troops, and set out on their way to find the station's Dark Energon stores and claim them for the war effort. They encountered significant resistance, but managed to shoot their way through, with directional aid from [[Soundwave (Prime)| Soundwave]]. Barricade noted that the station itself seemed quite primitive; Megatron noted it was very old, and that he intended to modernize it... At one point, the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] [[Jetfire (Prime)|Jetfire]] confronted Megatron nonviolently, asking him to give up his quest, as Dark Energon would result in only horror, death, and destruction, to which Megatron sneered, "You say that as if it were a bad thing." <br />
<br />
Along their way to the Dark Energon, they found that a large portion of the station had been blasted clean off, the debris field traversable but sparse enough to allow easy viewing of Cybertron itself. Soundwave soon found records indicating that a small amount of Dark Energon lost containment and was the sole cause of the destruction, underscoring Megatron's desire for it. When Barricade asked how he expected to control it when no other had, Megatron said that such power was only for the strong, that he was the strongest, and not to question him again.<br />
<br />
When they finally reached the storage chamber, and Megatron averted Starscream's destruction of it, he calmly entered into a container full of raw Dark Energon, while Starscream watched and gloated at his imminent destruction...only for him to walk out, not only unscathed, but crackling with power, which he further bestowed upon Barricade and Brawl. A single blast of Dark Energon was enough to destroy an entire company of station security forces, the last line of defense between Megatron and Starscream and his companions.<br />
<br />
Jetfire again tried to warn Megatron about the dangers of Dark Energon, but Starscream interrupted, asking to join the Decepticon leader. Megatron asked what Starscream could offer that he could not simply take. Starscream revealed the station's supply of Dark Energon was almost spent, and he knew how to manufacture more—and as luck would have it, there was a dormant [[Energon Bridge]] which could be used to power it. Jetfire retreated to inform [[Sentinel Zeta Prime| Zeta Prime]]; Megatron let him go, seeming pleased by the notion of letting the Autobots tremble in advance of their actions, and sent Starscream, [[Thundercracker (Prime)| Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (Prime)| Skywarp]] to activate the bridge. <br />
<br />
Megatron repeatedly mocked what he perceived as Starscream's slowness in his simple mission, but the Seeker did what he said he could. With a steady supply of Dark Energon, Megatron launched an attack on Iacon City, intending to take a device called the [[Omega Key]] and use it to enter the Core of Cybertron. This time, he took [[Breakdown (Prime)| Breakdown]] and Soundwave with him. The trio took the less-guarded way in—which, since the Autobots were not complete fools (as even Megatron would admit), still had significant military presence. During the attack, Starscream noted that Dark Energon was proving every bit as potent as Megatron had promised. Breakdown let Megatron know of his misgivings about the Sky Commander; Megatron admitted he was treacherous and untrustworthy, but he had useful talents, and his cunning and ambition was intriguing.<br />
<br />
The Omega Key had been taken from its normal resting place, however, by Autobot leader Zeta Prime, and so Megatron took his squad on an assault on Zeta's headquarters. They met Brawl, leading an attack on the doors to Zeta Prime's armory, along the way. Even Megatron's touch of Dark Energon could not breach the vault doors, however, and so he called in bombers. When they were shot down, Brawl suggested they take out the Autobots' air defense guns, after which bombers were called in again; Megatron's troops then held off a massive assault from what seemed like the entire Autobot army while waiting for the bombing run to finally arrive.<br />
<br />
After the vault doors were breached, they reached Zeta Prime himself, who had constructed several layers of security while he waited. An invincible energy field protected him, while he could drop portions of the ceiling with pistons to crush anything beneath them, and construct endless holographic clones of himself outfitted for melee combat, which Megatron personally found nauseating. However, his defenses were not without flaw: periodically, the power core would need to disperse waste heat, and Megatron's team survived long enough to destroy it during this stage. Zeta fell, buried under the wreckage of his own defenses, and Megatron took the device he'd carried...which started to make electronic chirping noises. Zeta, with black humor, noted that the device was not the Omega Key. It merely ''activated'' the Key, which would come to them... <br />
<br />
Searching for the Key in the skies aboard another ship, Megatron, with Soundwave and Breakdown at the controls, were abruptly confronted by a massive ship, [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]]), who knocked them out of the sky, causing them to crash back in Iacon. There, they played a cat-and-mouse campaign in a desperate attempt to survive the enormous Autobot's vast firepower, though Soundwave noted that the weaponry they bore had little chance of penetrating Omega Supreme's armor. Megatron, for his part, at least contrived to appear unafraid, claiming that if it came to a real fight, the brute wouldn't stand a chance against Megatron's intellect. However, Omega's attacks drove them underground and left them unable to immediately transmit counter to Starscream, who declared Megatron dead and announced he was taking control. Even when they re-established contact, Starscream's aerial forces only briefly distracted Omega, who dispensed large numbers of troops, sucked up Decepticons with a tractor beam, fired weapons of mass destruction, and mined the roads Megatron and his squad were using.<br />
<br />
Soundwave, however, had come up with a suggestion—there were weapons emplacements higher up that had the ability to damage Omega Supreme. Taking them from the Autobots was a battle in and of itself, but nothing compared to the fight against Omega Supreme, who could unload entire squadrons of Aerialbots. Nonetheless, Megatron's boldness and tactical acumen finally shot Omega Supreme out of the sky.<br />
Gloating, Megatron found that the behemoth was still not defeated, and indeed was drawing power from Cybertron itself to repair his systems, making him stronger, if anything. However, by corrupting the energon batteries with which he was using to feed himself with Dark Energon charges, they were able to weaken him to the point where they could finally blast away his last defenses and brought him to heel. With Omega Supreme defeated, Megatron went underground, directly to the Core, and corrupted it with a massive infusion of Dark Energon, finally bringing Cybertron itself more completely under his control.<br />
<br />
At this point, Megatron was clearly convinced, and for good reason, that he'd won, making propaganda broadcasts extolling his greatness and how he had taken away the Autobots' burdens of "liberty" and "choice". When Starscream was defeated and the Decagon retaken, however, he realized the Autobots were not yet going to roll over for him, and sent a distress signal from Zeta Prime, whom he had kept alive in the Kaon prison camp, in order to provoke a rescue attempt from the Autobots. His old acquaintance Optimus took the bait, and Megatron confronted him, telling him that the war could be over tomorrow if Optimus took the Autobots and left. Optimus refused, so Megatron consigned him and his team to the prisons. When they managed to stage a mass breakout, an enraged Megatron ordered his troops to prevent their escape at any cost, to the point of tearing apart portions of Kaon.<br />
<br />
This was not enough, however, and they escaped, journeying to the Core, where they kickstarted the cleansing of Megatron's corruption. Doing so, however, would take the Core millions of years of shutdown, rendering Cybertron uninhabitable. Whether Megatron knew this or not, when he saw the Autobots leaving after Optimus's refusal of his earlier offer, he apparently took offense. His earlier plans of renovating Starscream's station had come to fruition; now, it mounted a powerful superweapon, capable of destroying entire structures in one shot. He had it fire upon the Autobot transports as they left. When a team of Aerialbots attempted to disable or destroy it, he called Jetfire, now one of them, and taunted him about his past. He further mocked them when they destroyed the plasma coolant system without apparently having accounted for backups. Finally, during the attack he came into possession of information on Optimus Prime's location, and ordered Trypticon—the name of the weapon, for it was actually a Cybertronian—to fire upon it.<br />
<br />
Trypticon, however, was forced into his natural form and defeated after he crash-landed on Cybertron. Megatron's reaction to this went unrecorded. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}<br />
<br />
===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===<br />
Megatron was the Decepticon Leader during the final days of the Great War. After capturing an Autobot facility, and killing a cadet, Megatron revealed his plan to his troops. Megatron intended to conquer Trypticon Space Station, which had the means and power to manufacture Dark Energon: a variant of Energon which greatly increased the stamina and strength of its' host. Megatron fought his way through the station to its' commander, the Autobot Starscream. Upon Starscream's defeat, Starscream offered his services and the Dark Energon if he was spared. Megatron agreed, and Starscream joined the Decepticons.<br />
<br />
After a test run of the Dark Energon in Kaon Prison, Soundwave deduced the element would only kill the host, but Starscream was able to find a way to fix it. Megatron then decided the time was right, and led his army to the inner levels of Cybertron. He was able to activate the uplink to channel energy from the Core of Cybertron itself to Trypticon Station, but he needed the Omega Key to access it once it was shut down with a firewall. <br />
<br />
Megatron learned through a recording from Laserbeak that Autobot Leader Zeta Prime had the Omega Key in his possession and had holed up deep within Iacon. Megatron led a full-scale assault on the city, totally devastating Iacon, until he found Zeta Prime at last. After a hard battle, Zeta fell, and Megatron obtained the Omega Key. However, immediately upon taking it, alarms went off, and Iacon itself was shaking. Zeta Prime, despite being mortally wounded, laughed at Megatron's face, saying the Omega Key was only the key to the ''true'' key: the city-sized Autobot Omega Supreme.<br />
<br />
Omega immediately attacked the victorious Decepticons, and quickly decimated their presence in Iacon, save for Megatron's team and a few others. By this point, Megatron was absolutely furious at Starscream: Megatron declared it was he who led them to Omega Supreme and the devastating onslaught he carried out. Starscream bitterly retorted even if Megatron killed him, Omega Supreme would still be out for his blood, helping nothing whatsoever. Megatron angrily let it go for the time being, and led his army to battle. His troops' confidence beginning to falter, Megatron declared they would either be kicking themselves for not acting for the rest of their lives, or heroes in a historic event. His men followed him to battle Omega, and the titan fell. Megatron was free to corrupt the Core of Cybertron with Dark Energon, and obtain near-supremacy of Cybertron.<br />
<br />
That kind of went downhill when the new Autobot leader, Optimus Prime, extinguished the Dark Energon and destroyed Trypticon Space Station, didn't it?<br />

*'''Cybertronian Megatron''' (Deluxe, 2010)<br />
:*''Accessories: clear purple missile, fusion cannon''<br />
<br />
: This toy is based on Megatron's appearance in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron]]'', transforming into a Cybertronian self-propelled gun. The treads of his vehicle can be positioned in either a vertical configuration like a traditional tank or in a horizontal, hovertank configuration. Megatron's spring-loaded cannon can attach to either arm. He also has an insignia on his back, but unlike Optimus, his is not hidden by kibble.<br />
: Some units of the figure have Megatron's left internal shoulder strut misassembled, preventing that side of the tank-mode from becoming properly flush to the body when transforming. This can be corrected by unscrewing and separating the outer shoulder structure, flipping the strut 180 degrees, and reassembling the shoulder covering.<br />
: Also, the packaging image for his tank mode is flipped.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Notes==<br />
<br />
*Megatron's designation as an energon miner was "D-16".<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/play/details.cfm?guid=7fd5ecd9-19b9-f369-1041-a7635be83172 War for Cybertron timeline].</ref> Megatron's original [[Japanese ID number list|Japanese ID number]] was "16". Takara would eventually change the numbering system using a "D" to denote [[Decepticon|Destrons]]. So Megatron's Japanese ID number could retroactively be considered "D-16".<br />
*Optimus Prime's recollections in ''Darkness Rising'' have him and Megatron fighting side-by-side at the start of the Great War. This is the first time a Megatron has been involved in a Great War that he ''didn't'' start, never mind one where he used to be a goodie. <br />
*At a video shown at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, Welker explained his ''Prime'' voice for Megatron would be mostly toned down from his G1 counterpart, to give the character more range.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/san-diego-comic-con-33/transformers-prime---peter-cullen--frank-welker-behind-the-scenes-170264/ Transformers Prime - Peter Cullen & Frank Welker Behind the Scenes] TFW2005</ref> When the show aired, Megatron indeed had a more quiet, sinister version of his voice than the iconic shouty one.<br />
*In ''Transformers: War for Cybertron'', Megatron has multiple glitches when controlled by the computer, among them shrinking (quite hilariously), losing his Fusion Cannon, and having his Tank mode cannon stick straight up (also humorous). He may be the most glitchy character in the game.<br />
*Like the [[Megatron (Movie)|Movie version]], this Megatron will retain an alien jet form as he despises human-created alternate modes. <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/botcon-2010-transformers-prime-panel-coverage-170054/ BotCon 2010 Transformers Prime Panel Coverage]</ref> According to Cybertronian Megatron's packaging bio, Megatron often changes his altmode, probably in an attempt to explain why he's a tank in the game and a jet in the cartoon. He is also similar to his movie version because in the continuity, he turns into both a tank and a jet at some point.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{SITENAME}} participates in [[Hasbro]]'s ongoing [[Hasbro Q&A|Question & Answer]] sessions. Our site will be allowed to submit '''two''' questions to Hasbro's Transformers team for answering. If you're a registered user at our site, please add your question below!<br />
<br />
Some ground rules:<br />
# Don't ask about hypothetical future product or if certain characters are going to come out in toyline X.<br />
# Don't ask about financial numbers or corporate matters.<br />
# Don't ask Hasbro why they suck so much to vindicate your personal grudge.<br />
# Don't ask Hasbro to badmouth one of their licensees to vindicate your personal grudge.<br />
<br />
But questions about current or past product are pretty great! Those kinds of answers will result in the best and most informative responses.<br />
<br />
Each registered user can ask '''one''' question at this time. Please bullet and sign your question. The deadline for your questions is the evening of '''Sunday, September 12th''', and answers will be sent back on (approximately) '''October 4th'''. If you're a registered member and for some reason you can't edit this page, ask your question on the [[Talk:Hasbro Q&A/September 2010: Question submission|discussion page]], then I or [[User:ItsWalky|Walky]] will move it here. <br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

==September 2010 questions==<br />
*If Unicron's mission is to consume everything in the multiverse, why does he fire projectiles? Isn't that ultimately counterproductive? Doesn't he just have to go eat them up later? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 10:54, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*The ninth installment of the Cyber Missions web series depicts Smolder and Chopster of the Power Core Combiners line as residents of the live-action movie universe. Should we take this to apply to the other members of the Power Core Combiners line? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 10:57, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*There are several enemies in the War for Cybertron DS game whose nature is left unclear by the limited nature of the DS's graphics. Are "Ground crawlers" and "Swarms" mechanical lifeforms native to Cybertron (like the Space slugs in the 360/PS3 game which the ground crawlers resemble) or are they organic lifeforms come to Cybertron from elsewhere. --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 11:33, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*How is Shattered Glass's evil Alpha Trion consistent with the revelation in ''Exodus'''s revelation that Trion is one of the original thirteen Primes and a multiversal singularity? Did Slaughter's sword actually corrupt him? [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 12:18, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*What advice would you give to fans who like to kitbash their Transformers toys? - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 14:11, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*How important is the notion that the original 13 Transformers are "multiversal singularities"? Is this concept still in effect or has it been abandoned? Will it ever be explained in mass-audience fiction (i.e. cartoons or theatrical films)? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 15:15, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*Who would win in a fight between Unicron and the ''Star Wars'' crossovers Darth Vader who turns into the Death Star? --[[User:Abates|abates]] 16:44, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*Are Megatron(from the cybertron series) and Vector Prime alive?. - [[User:Primal primus|Primal primus]] 16:55, 7 September 2010 (EDT)Primal Primus<br />
*Is Revenge of the Fallen Sideways the same character as Robots in Disguise Sideways or is he a different character altogether? If not, is the Target exclusive set, High-Speed Spy Battle just a reference to that Sideways?-[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 18:10, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*Recently Alpha Trion has both been declared one of the Original Thirteen Transformers as well as having been introduced into the IDW comics as an important plot point to the overall story. Seeing as how another member of the Original Thirteen(Nexus Prime) was "taken away" from the Collector's Club as Hasbro is using the concept at the moment, will IDW be allowed to carry on with Alpha Trion's plot line or will that have to be dropped due to his new legendary status and use by Hasbro? [[User:Barricade64|Barricade64]] 21:56, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
* What inspired the deco of the upcoming Fallen toy with the staff and removable mask? [[User:Antimatter|Antimatter]] 22:07, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
* You have said that you are trying to find a way to release the remaining Animated figures in some way. Do you count the Takara releases or do you still wish to release the figure in the US?----[[User:Fredbob|Fredbob]] 22:27, 7 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
* Several Transformers are known for their unusual and distinctive [[kibble]], such as [[Prowl (G1)|G1 Prowl's]] door wings and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Animated Bulkhead's]] shoulder thingies. Are toys ever consciously engineered to have interesting kibble, or is such a thing just an added bonus? --[[User:Fortress Minimus|Fortress Minimus]] 08:58, 8 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
* Does the recent revelation that [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave's]] cassettes are [[Mini-Con]]s also apply to [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster's]] cassettes? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 09:42, 8 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
* With the continued, if diminished, presence of ''Transformers: Animated'' figures on toy store shelves, is there any chance of a re-pressing of the Season 1 and 2 DVD sets for ''Transformers: Animated'', if not a projected date for Season 3? Season 2 in particular seems to have become less readily available than DVDs from the Unicron Trilogy, which can still be found at regular retail.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 22:16, 8 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
* The Japanese [[Return of Convoy]]/Battlestars storyline featured an evil planetformer called '''[[Dark Nova]]'''. Is it possible that Dark Nova is related to Unicron? [[User:Item42|Item42]] 10:02, 9 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*Are the toys packaged in "Generations"-like packaging but without the "Generations" label printed on them part of the "Generations" toyline? - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 20:42, 9 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*Is it true that Armada was originally intended to be a sequel to G1? --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 14:08, 11 September 2010 (EDT)<br />
*Is it true that there will not be any toys for Transformers Prime? --[[User:OptimusMagnus4|OptimusMagnus4]] 16:49, 12 September 2010 (EDT)<br />

Thank you for adding to Bulkhead's Fiction section. However, character page Fiction sections are in PAST tense. Episode/issue summaries are in present tense. Even with that aside, your grammar needs work.

<br />
Some ground rules:<br />
# Don't ask about hypothetical future product or if certain characters are going to come out in toyline X.<br />
# Don't ask about financial numbers or corporate matters.<br />
# Don't ask Hasbro why they suck so much to vindicate your personal grudge.<br />
# Don't ask Hasbro to badmouth one of their licensees to vindicate your personal grudge.<br />
<br />
But questions about current or past product are pretty great! Those kinds of answers will result in the best and most informative responses.<br />
<br />
Each registered user can ask '''one''' question at this time. Please bullet and sign your question. The deadline for your questions is the evening of '''Sunday, August 8th''', and answers will be sent back on (approximately) '''August 30th'''. If you're a registered member and for some reason you can't edit this page, ask your question on the [[Talk:Hasbro Q&A/May 2010: Question submission|discussion page]], then I or [[User:ItsWalky|Walky]] will move it here. <br />

==August 2010 questions==<br />
*It is now confirmed that Vortex Blurr has been cancelled along with other Transformers Animated toys. However, had this toy been released, would it had changed the fate of Blurr in the cartoon?, as he was last seen being crushed by Shockwave and getting thrown into a garbage disposer.[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 02:41, 1 August 2010 (EDT)<br />
<br />
*Transformers: Exodus, while quite interesting, contridicted itself on a few points: Early in the book Starscream is said to have had a long carear as a scientist then later to have no scientific knowledge because he was not a scientist. Trypticon is at first said to have been turned from a space station into a transformer and given a Spark in Ancient times, then later in the book this is all done by Shockwave in the "present". At one point the book talks about many Seekers joining the Autobots after Shockwave destroyed their base, and about "ALL the Seekers on the Autobot side" being out on patrol, then later it describes Jetfire as the "only Seeker" to join the Autobots. Could you shed any light on which of these contridictions is the true story? --[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 08:36, 1 August 2010 (EDT)<br />
<br />
* When deciding on redecos which comes first the mold or the character? That is, do you say "We should reuse mold X, what character should we make it?" or do you say "We should make character Y, what mold should we use?" --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 09:28, 1 August 2010 (EDT) (resubmitting my question from last time)<br />
<br />
* Are characters like [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]], [[Lugnut (TF 2010)|Lugnut]] and [[Highbrow (TF 2010)|Highbrow]] signs of a full retro toy line along the lines of ''[[Hearts of Steel]]'' or ''[[Transformers/G.I. Joe]]''? [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 09:32, 1 August 2010 (EDT)<br />
<br />
* Are there any new updates as to whether or not the remaining Animated figures will be released in the U.S? [[User:OptimusMagnus4|OptimusMagnus4]] 11:51, 1 August 2010 (EDT)<br />

'''Townsend Coleman''' (born [[May 28]], 1954) is an American voice actor. Townsend has done voices for many, many cartoons including ''Inspector Gadget'' (playing Corporal Capeman), ''Fraggle Rock'', ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (playing Michaelangelo), ''Jem'', ''Batman: The Animated Series'', and the ''Superman: Doomsday'' direct to video movie. Townsend Coleman is arguably best known for his role as the title character in ''The Tick'' animated series (coincidentally also voice directed by [[Susan Blu]]).<br />

'''The Autobots fight to defend Detroit from Megatron and his clones of Omega Supreme.'''<br />
<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
Outside the plant, the [[Autobot]]s observe the [[Lugnut Supreme]]s hovering above Detroit. [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] wonders what they are, and [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] assumes that [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] repurposed [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]'s [[cloning]] technology to make clones of [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]. Aboard the main Lugnut Supreme, Megatron decides to start the field test with [[Sumdac Tower]]. Lugnut pontificates on the greatness of Megatron rather than getting it done, leading the annoyed Decepticon leader to ask [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] if he can control the clones directly yet. However, Shockwave is still working on finding the necessary security patches from [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]'s memory banks, and tells Megatron in an amused tone that he'll have to filter all orders for the clones through Lugnut.<br />
<br />
In Detroit, the Lugnuts turn and open fire on Sumdac Tower. Fortunately, the force field goes up and protects the building. Unfortunately, it will only last for so long. Ratchet says that they need to launch an aerial assault with the [[Magnus Hammer]], but [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] is a little unsure. [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] then reinforces his leader's faltering confidence by promising to accompany him. Sari then offers to join them, and cuts off Optimus's "No, Sari—" with a rant about how she's always being told it's "too dangerous" for her to help, leaving her embarrassed when Prime says he was going to tell her to help protect the humans. He orders the others to help Sari in this, while he and Prowl take to the skies. Megatron initially assumes that the figure bearing the Magnus Hammer is [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] himself, and is quite relieved when he sees it's only Optimus. The two airborne Autobots manage to avoid the missiles sent in their direction, but Prime's opening shot with the Magnus Hammer misses the Lugnuts. Ratchet says that he's receiving Omega's signal from the moon, and suggests they transwarp to the moon and sever Megatron's connection. Optimus approves, and orders him to take Bumblebee and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] with him. Prowl says that they need to bring the Lugnuts down all at once, and Optimus uses the Magnus Hammer to cause a tornado which sends the Lugnuts crashing toward [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]]. Megatron, livid, tells Lugnut to abort the field test, but Lugnut is forced to inform him that Prime's attack managed to damage the one Megatron was in and disable the flight mechanisms of the other two. Furious, Megatron tells him to have the clones destroy everything except Megatron himself, then leaves his clone and assumes his [[alternate mode|flight mode]], intending to take a more direct role.<br />
<br />
At Sumdac Tower, Ratchet fires up the space bridge, ready to take Bumblebee and Bulkhead to retrieve Arcee and Omega Supreme. [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]] decides to go with them, telling [[Isaac Sumdac]] that she needs to go. Transforming to her full robot mode, she jumps through the portal with the Autobots. On the moon, Starscream reassembles himself and immediately takes off for Earth, saying he has a surprise for Megatron. The Autobots transwarp in mere moments after he leaves, as Sari is momentarily stunned just by being on the Moon, while the Autobots are more surprised by the lack of [[Decepticon]]s around. Over by Omega Supreme, Ratchet sees Arcee and runs to her. Unfortunately, she's reverted to her fugue Teacher Bot state. Worse, she's bait: Shockwave fires at them, barely missing them. Bumblebee and Bulkhead take on Shockwave, while Ratchet and Sari take Arcee inside Omega Supreme. Both bots are taken down, but Bulkhead manages to recover and charge Shockwave, knocking off his cannon. Shockwave briefly assumes his Longarm form and pleads for mercy, but Bulkhead destroys his cannon with his wrecking ball. Inside Omega Supreme, Ratchet discovers the damage to Arcee's processor is quite extensive, and any attempts to repair her could take her offline. Sari scans the malfunctioning intelbot and gives Ratchet instructions on how to use his EMP generator to restore her memory from her internal backups.<br />
<br />
Over Detroit, Prime orders Prowl to break off from their fight with Megatron, find Jazz and try to slow the clones down. As he grapples with the Decepticon leader, he snaps and loudly declares his name after being patronisingly called "Autobot" by Megatron yet again.<br />
<br />
In Omega Supreme, Ratchet manages to bring Arcee fully online, her memory back at the time it was when [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] captured them. Ratchet promises that they'll catch up in time, but right now they need her [[activation code]]s to retake control of Omega Supreme. Bumblebee and Bulkhead enter and say they've found something Sari needs to see.<br />
<br />
Back on Earth, on the ground, Prowl and Jazz try to get inside the Lugnut Supremes, but their armor is too strong to cut through, and Jazz radios Prime with news of their failure. Optimus tells them that the only thing powerful enough to shield the city is the AllSpark, but it's scattered everywhere. In return, flushed by his recent success in reconstituting a fragment, Prowl theorizes that they can use [[processor-over-matter]] to make the AllSpark whole again. Prime is doubtful, but Prowl is adamant, and flies his fellow ninjabot to Sumdac Tower.<br />
<br />
As Ratchet and Arcee make their way to Omega Supreme's head, Sari is brought before the protoforms, and—believing this to be where she came from—gets a moment of closure from the experience. Outside, Ratchet uses his magnets to keep Arcee above Omega's face and the fembot uploads the codes, severing Lugnut's control over him. Omega Supreme ejects the massive Decepticon and heads for Earth once Sari and all the Autobots are aboard, with the three remaining protoforms.<br />
<br />
On Earth, with Lugnut no longer guiding them, the clones briefly shut down... then reactivate with Starscream's face. The treacherous Decepticon tells Megatron that he planted bombs in the clones, aiming to destroy him and everything within a hundred-mile radius. Unable to remove the bombs inside, Megatron decides to instead destroy Optimus Prime, using the Autobot captain's name for the very first time. At Sumdac Tower, the force field fails much to Isaac Sumdac's distress, and Prowl and Jazz direct him to the building's bomb shelter, before they begin using processor-over-matter to collecting AllSpark fragments. Starscream arrives to observe the death of Megatron, but his AllSpark fragment suddenly begins pulling him toward the AllSpark being formed by Jazz and Prowl. Starscream panics and tries to destroy the two ninja-bots, but his AllSpark fragment is pulled from his head, and Starscream falls to the street, dead.<br />
<br />
[[Image:EndgamePart2-Prowlsmiles.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Code of Hero|The rest...is silence.]]]]<br />
Omega Supreme arrives and begins fighting the two clones. He is able to defeat one and disarm its bomb, but the other knocks him aside and forces him back to ship mode. At Sumdac Tower, Jazz says that they don't have enough Spark to shield the city, but neither he nor Prowl can pull in any more AllSpark fragments. Prowl recognizes that there is one other way to make the AllSpark chunk powerful enough, and levitates towards it. Jazz recognizes what he intends to do, and screams that they can find another way, but Prowl merely turns to give him a reassuring smile. Suddenly, the AllSpark releases a surge of energy, and Prowl falls back to the ground. Jazz catches his body, but it is too late: Prowl is dead. A field soon forms around the remaining clone, but Megatron and Optimus Prime are trapped within it. Megatron gloats that he will take Optimus with him, but a figure of light in Prowl's image removes Optimus from the force field. Megatron roars in anger as the clone detonates, and everything goes white...<br />
<br />
Waking up, Optimus sees his fellow bots around him. They declare that they won, and begin to celebrate... until Jazz comes carrying Prowl's shell, revealing that the ninja-bot merged his spark with the AllSpark to give them it the necessary energy. Optimus moves toward his fallen comrade, but is instead knocked backwards by a purple blast. Megatron still functions! Ratchet uses his magnets to throw the Magnus Hammer to Optimus. In a rage, Optimus beats Megatron down. Lying helpless, Megatron urges Optimus to finish him, and Optimus brings the Magnus Hammer down...on Megatron's fusion cannon. Optimus says that killing Megatron is the easy way out, and the Decepticon leader doesn't deserve that. Instead, he places [[stasis cuffs]] on him.<br />
<br />
[[Image:TFA-Endgame-PanAcrossEveryone.jpg|thumb|240px|We shall not forget them. Nor fail to reward that which is given. Courage with love, valour with honour, evil... with vengeance.]]<br />
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Autobots return is hailed by a cheering crowd (except for [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], who glowers), with Optimus carrying the Magnus Hammer, the large piece of the AllSpark around his neck, and Ratchet, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Jazz bearing Prowl's body. In addition, they bring with them the three rescued protoforms, and Megatron, Lugnut, and Shockwave as prisoners. Finally, to top it off, Omega Supreme transforms from ship mode, and this sends the crowd into another round of cheering, hailing Optimus Prime and his crew as the heroes they have proven themselves to be.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
'''Megatron''': Lugnut, let's begin this field test with Sumdac Tower. I want to see my former prison crumble to the ground.<br><br />
'''Lugnut''': As you command, oh great and glorious Megatron! Your genius exceeds all others! And I am but your humble and obedient servant! Furthermore—<br><br />
'''Megatron''': Shockwave! Is there anyway to bypass this endless pontificating and command these clones directly?<br><br />
'''Shockwave''': Still working on the data patch, my liege. Until then, you'll just have to relay all. Orders. Through. Lugnut.<br />
:—Megatron desperately seeks to cut out the middleman, while Shockwave demonstrates how to smirk without a face.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Sari''': I'm going too! I have a jetpack.<br><br />
'''Optimus''': No, Sari, it's—<br><br />
'''Sari''': Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's "too dangerous", I know. It's '''always''' "too dangerous"!<br><br />
'''Optimus''': I was ''going'' to say, "It's more important for you to protect your father and your fellow organics."<br><br />
'''Sari''': Oh. Right. Sorry.<br />
:—Sari isn't used to being treated as an equal.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Megatron''': Lugnut, this field test has been a complete failure! Order the other clones back to the Moon immediately!<br><br />
'''Lugnut''': Forgive me, oh Great One, but their flight capabilities are disabled.<br><br />
'''Megatron''': Then destroy the Autobots. Destroy the city. Destroy anything that's not '''me'''!<br />
:—Megatron may have finally went off the deep-end. And it shows, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
"''Get away'' from my weapons of mass destruction."<br><br />
:—'''Megatron''', apparently about to send '''Optimus Prime''' to bed without his supper.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Shockwave:''' ''(changes to Longarm)'' G-guys...buddies...you..wouldn't want to take out your old platoon mate Longarm, would you?<br><br />
'''Bumblebee:''' No....of course we wouldn't.<br><br />
'''Bulkhead:''' Oh, not in a million stellar cycles, pal.<br><br />
(smashes Shockwave's arm cannon)<br />
:—Not all Autobots are that gullible, '''Shockwave'''. Thanks for playing, though.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Ratchet:''' Those Deceptiscums fried her processor trying to remove the activation code....but if I tried to rewire her circuitry, it could take her offline for good.<br><br />
'''Sari:''' ''(touches Arcee on the knee)'' You need to recalibrate your EMP generator into a data recovery tool. Then you can salvage Arcee's secondary memory storage from her hard drive, bypassing her corrupted input/output systems.<br><br />
'''Ratchet:''' I suppose us...machines just told you that?<br><br />
'''Sari:''' Pretty much.<br><br />
<br />
:—In case you didn't get that, Sari has just solved in five seconds what Cybertron's [[Perceptor (Animated)|greatest]] [[Wheeljack (Animated)|minds]] couldn't for millions of years. Wait. '''''WHAT?!'''''<br />

:—'''Lugnut's''' key praise is so endearing, it even has '''Megatron''' saying it out-loud... at the worst possible timing.<br />
<br />
<br />
"If I cannot save my clones, at least I'll have the satisfaction of destroying you, '''Optimus Prime'''."<br><br />
"So, you ''can'' remember my name!"<br />
:—Took you long enough, '''Megatron'''.<br />
<br />
==Notes== <br />
<br />
===Animation or technical errors===<br />
* When Omega Supreme runs towards one of the Lugnut Supremes, the clone has a [[Shattered Glass|purple Autobot symbol]] on its midsection as it gets up.<br />
<br />
* Megatron's helicopter cockpit kibble (usually seen behind his head on his back) briefly vanishes for a second as he kicks Optimus Prime towards the AllSpark-powered force field.<br />
<br />
* Just as Bulkhead punches Shockwave, for a split second, Shockwave's colors are those of his Autobot counterpart, Longarm (with the noticeable teal coloring on his chassis).<br />
<br />
* Prowl's ghost appears with his armour on, but when it reaches out to save Optimus, the armour has vanished.<br />
<br />
* When [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] makes one last attempt to destroy [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], his right shoulder guard is drawn rather small. As he's knocked down to Earth and insists Optimus finishes him, it reverts back to its proper size.<br />
<br />
[[Image:AutobotGroupShotEndgamePartII.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Blink and you'll miss it.]]<br />
<br />
* Quite a number of animation errors can be seen immediately after Optimus Prime stasis cuffs Megatron (right before a kneeling Omega Supreme gets up.) The Magnus Hammer has disappeared, [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl's]] body is drawn like a boxy black mannequin in [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]]'s arms with very little detail, Jazz himself (as well as Bulkhead) are missing their Autobot insignias, [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] appears rather tiny compared to the other Autobots, and Sari appears to be either hovering off of the ground or standing on [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]'s foot. Oh, and [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]] is missing from the shot as well. Dandy.<br />
<br />
*When Optimus Prime first disembarks from Omega Supreme at the end of the episode, he is shown to be almost as tall as Megatron and Lugnut, who, by all rights, should be towering over him in height. They are drawn at their proper scale once they stand before the cheering crowd, though.<br />
<br />
*When the Autobots hold up [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]]'s coffin before the cheering crowd (as seen in the picture on this page), Prowl's body is drawn rather short. If one compared the height of his body to [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] at his left, Bumblebee would actually be a head taller.<br />
<br />
*After Bulkhead knocks over Shockwave and he converts into Longarm, Shockwaves cannon is on the ground behind Longarm, yet when we see Longarm from the back he has the crane piece attached to his back. Whoops.<br />
* The [[Magnus Hammer]]'s handle again changes length from shot to shot.<br />
<br />
===Continuity errors===<br />
*Due to the incomplete activation code, the Lugnut Supremes only worked when Lugnut consciously directed them from Omega Supreme. Yet after Omega tossed him out, not only did Starscream take them over, they continued to function autonomously after he was dead.<br />
<br />
===Transformers references===<br />
<br />
[[Image:TFA Prime with Matrix.jpg|right|150px|thumb|This is awesome and you love it.]]<br />
<br />
*At the very end, Optimus Prime is shown with the large piece of AllSpark which Jazz and Prowl pulled together, in a container strongly resembling the [[Matrix of Leadership]]—and he's [[The Transformers: The Movie|wearing it on a chain around his neck]]. <br />
<br />
*Even at this late stage, a new face still appears in the crowd scene on Cybertron: [[Hubcap (Animated)|Hubcap]]. [[Dai Atlas (Animated)|Dai Atlas]] and [[Sky Garry (Animated)|Sky Garry]] make their first in-person appearances (though Dai Atlas only appears from behind), and the unnamed, orange female robot, whose arm could ''juuuuuust'' be seen poking in from offscreen back in "[[Decepticon Air]]", also gets to appear in full. The crowd also includes a ''crazy'' amount of miscolored-slash-[[generic]] robots, including such gems as a [[Hot Shot (Animated)|Hot Shot]]-colored robot using the Bumblebee body-form, a blue-and-green Sky Garry and a yellow [[Warpath (Animated)|Warpath]].<br />
<br />
* Yoketron's dying words in "[[Five Servos of Doom]]" (where he tells Prowl that he will understand when his time comes) finally come to pass.<br />
<br />
* As Optimus approaches the Lugnut Supremes, Megatron confuses him for Ultra Magnus. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Gee, I wonder why?]]<br />
<br />
===Real-world references===<br />
*Ratchet refers to the Lugnut Supremes as "[[bootleg|knockoffs]]". <br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Shockwave transforms into a ''purple'' Longarm. Maybe he was just confused or [[To sell toys|something]]. <br />
*Jazz states that they can't find all the AllSpark fragments; at the very least, this makes sense because [[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]], [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]], and [[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]] aren't on Earth anymore. There is no indication that any other Earthbound characters animated by AllSpark fragments were defragmented and killed like Starscream, and they don't seem to be kept alive the same way he is. At [[BotCon 2009]], the writers revealed that they had intended to show Wreck-Gar and at least one of the Constructicons to confirm their survival, but that this scene was cut for time.<br />
*This is the first episode since "[[Megatron Rising - Part 2]]" to feature Prime's faceplate.<br />
*Shockwave claimed in "[[This Is Why I Hate Machines]]" that using Omega Supreme's original activation codes on him once more would wipe his memories, morals and personality, allowing a new mentor-con to turn him into a model Decepticon—a fact which Ratchet and [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]] apparently both agreed was true. Since Arcee uses the codes on Omega in this episode, did this cause a reset to factory settings? If not, why not? Could it perhaps have something to do with that patch they were talking about?<br />
*There seems to be a scene missing involving Lugnut - when Omega Supreme discards him onto the lunar surface and flies to Earth, he is neither captured nor incapacitated, and it's been shown repeatedly that Decepticons (including Starscream in this episode and Lugnut himself in "[[Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found]]") are capable of making ''at least'' the Moon-Earth trip under their own power, where [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]] has apparently evaded detection for the whole of S3. His off-screen capture is therefore noteworthy.<br />
*Arcee didn't join the other Autobots on their victory/funeral parade at the end.<br />
*It is revealed during the events of this episode, that while in her robot mode, Sari doesn't need an external oxygen supply.<br />
*As of this episode, there's a lot of remaining uncaptured Decepticons!<br />
**Thundercracker and Skywarp are still floating out somewhere in space.<br />
**[[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] and a bleeding, shattered [[Wasp|Waspinator]] are still in that mysterious jungle, precise whereabouts (and even ''when''abouts) unknown.<br />
**[[Laserbeak (Animated)|Laserbeak]] fled the scene with the sentient part of [[Soundwave (Animated)|Soundwave]] in "[[Human Error, Part II]]". It's unknown if Ratbat survived.<br />
**[[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]]'s whereabouts are presumably still known to the Autobots; he may have returned to [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]] with [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] after "Human Error".<br />
**[[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]] leaves for parts unknown in "[[Decepticon Air]]". Although he did mention something about retiring to an island on [[Nebulos]] (where the [[energon (fuel)|energon]] is as smooth as a [[protoform]]'s bottom).<br />
**[[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]], [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]], [[Team Chaar]] and any unseen Decepticons all remain at large.<br />
**[[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] and [[Dirt Boss (Animated)|Dirt Boss]] may have been destroyed in the explosion in "[[Three's a Crowd]]"—if not, add them to the list.<br />
**There are a lot more Decepticons at large and on the loose than the main cast, as shown in [[Dispatches]], where a large group of unamed [[Generic]] Decepticons are present at Megatron's funeral as Blitzwing rambles on like a madman.<br />
*Several other plot points have yet to have been resolved by the end of this episode:<br />
**Sari's origin has yet to be completely explained. It still hasn't been revealed how or why a protoform showed up on Earth years ago, or why it looked so different compared to other protoforms seen during the course of the series. Since it has been shown that all the protoforms Lockdown stole were blanks, it's unlikely she came from that batch.<br />
**[[Meltdown (Animated)|Meltdown]] was last shown apparently reconstituting himself at the end of "[[Black Friday (episode)|Black Friday]]", and has not been seen since.<br />
**Wreck-Gar and all three Dinobots are not present at the end of the episode, and presumably are still on Earth. Although it could be speculated that they stayed there by choice, one must wonder what kind of measures that Optimus and company took to prevent said bots from any more disastrous encounters with the populace of Earth.<br />
**[[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] was last seen being repaired, but his fate isn't revealed.<br />
** [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]] was last seen crushed into a cube and tossed into an incinerator. We don't see him get incinerated, though we also don't see any evidence he survived being cubified.<br />
*[[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]] was originally intended to have a small role in this episode, in which she would resurrect Starscream after the Autobots left Earth. This scene was ultimately cut for time. <br />
*This is the final episode to feature Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, Prowl and every other character in the series. We remind you so we may see you weep...we hate to cry alone. But... there is hope. IDW might continue the series in comic form. Join us as we get down on our hands and knees and beg IDW to do this for us.<br />

'''Slipstream''', the '''Female Starscream''', is the [[Starscream clone (Animated)|Starscream clone]] that raises the most questions. She possesses considerable strategic thinking, a biting sense of humor, and a short temper. Like all of the clones, she represents an aspect of the [[Starscream (Animated)|original Starscream's]] personality... though which aspect that is, he's better off not asking (or so she says).<br />
<br />
Practically everything she ever says to the original Starscream is an insult of some form. Really makes you wonder about Starscream, doesn't it?<br />

<br />
When his clones were brought online, Starscream was confronted with various personality issues. The female clone revealed that each one represented an aspect of his personality: [[Thundercracker (Animated)|megalomania]], [[Skywarp (Animated)|cowardice]], [[Sunstorm (Animated)|bootlicking]], and [[Ramjet (Animated)|deception]]. When Starscream asked where she came from, Slipstream informed him that he was better off not knowing. Once they were ready to depart, Thundercracker pushed Starscream aside, and the original realized that he really ''was'' a pain in the gearshaft. Slipstream bitingly noted that he'd finally "arrived at the party", then childishly claimed that she wasn't starting anything. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}<br />
<br />
Slipstream proved to be a capable fighter, managing to get a pair of stasis cuffs on the massive [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]]. After the original Starscream was decapitated by [[Isaac Sumdac]] piloting a [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]] unit, Slipstream promptly declared that she was better off being led by [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. When [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] joined the battle, she and the other Decepticons were blasted away. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}<br />
<br />
Slipstream apparently decided to lay low on Earth after the space bridge battle, managing to evade capture unlike her fellow clones (and several non-clone Decepticons). However, when she spotted a [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|red figure flying through the sky]], she mistook it for Starscream and chased after it in a rage. She shot at him, causing him to fall in a river. Seeing it wasn't Starscream, she promptly fled the scene. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Where Slipstream got her colors from was debated within the fandom, with the most frequent guess being ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Ramjet_(G1)#Generation_2_2|Ramjet]]. However, when contacted about it, [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] revealed that her color scheme was actually "loosely inspired" by the [[Godmaster]] [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]]. Unexpected! Still, half of Overlord ''was'' [[Mega|technically female]]...<br />
<br />
*As her colors weren't closely based on any of the pre-existing [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s, fans didn't have much of a clue what to call her, and created a lot of different nicknames. No official name had been created for her, either (she was just referred to as "Female Starscream" in the show's credits), a situation that writer [[Jim Sorenson]] sought to rectify for her entry in the ''[[AllSpark Almanac]]''. Sorenson proposed "Slipstream" to [[Derrick Wyatt]] and [[Marty Isenberg]], who both liked it, and Sorenson subsequently included the name in the first draft of the Almanac.<ref>[http://boltax.blogspot.com/2009/05/dont-cross-slipstream.html Disciples of Boltax: Don't cross the Slipstream.]</ref> Hasbro raised no objection to the idea, and publicly announced the name for the first time during the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2009]].<br />
<br />
* While the Transformers [[fandom]] has long mused upon the possibility of female "Seekers" (and produced countless [[Wikipedia:Mary Sue|self-insertion characters]] that are variants on the theme), this is the first canonical female character to share a body template with Starscream. This is either great or horrible, depending on your perspective.<br />
<br />
* When asked which aspect of Starscream's personality she represents, Derrick Wyatt responded with "I try not to think about that one!"<ref>[http://community.livejournal.com/tf_animated/271043.html Derrick J. Wyatt Q&A... answers!]</ref> He also confirmed that it's not his self-loathing (considering she seems to hate Starscream with a passion, this just makes the issue more confusing).<ref>[http://twitter.com/yuefairchild/status/1819450817 Query] and [http://twitter.com/DerrickJWyatt/status/1823006574 response]</ref><br />
<br />
* In the Italian dubbing of Transformers Animated, the voice of Slipstream was provided by Daniele Demma, the same ''male'' voice actor that does Starscream and the other clones. This resulted in a more exaggerated representation of the character.<br />
<br />
*In the Latin American Spanish dub of the third season, she is ''probably'' still a female. However, due to her voice being ''extremely'' grave, it's still unclear if she is either male or female. <br />
<br />
* The ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron|War for Cybertron]]'' version of [[Slipstream (Prime)|Slipstream]] is designed in homage of this one.<br />
<br />
* Slipstream was originally intended to appear in [[Endgame, Part II]], in which she would revive Starscream after the Autobots left Earth, however the scene was cut for time. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2}}<br />

<br />
[[Image:AnimatedDirtBoss.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Diminutive, ain't he?]]<br />
<br />
Created accidentally by the fusion of a forklift, a [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster unit]] and an [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] fragment, '''Dirt Boss''' is a little bot with big, big plans. Sick of having been bossed around back when he was nothing more than a simple machine, he's decided that ''he's'' going to be giving the orders from now on! <br />
<br />
His nasty attitude might be enough to accomplish this on its own, but he's capable of getting muscle for his jobs very quickly. He can fire a small remote control device from his forehead, tipped with a drill that allows it to bore its way into other other machines—Transformers included—giving Dirt Boss direct control of their motor functions. And if he really has to get his servos dirty, his stumpy little legs are actually quite capable of delivering a brutal roundhouse. Now he's taken command of the other [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicon]]s and is going to make sure [[Detroit]] knows who's boss!<br />
<br />

===''Animated'' cartoon===<br />
:''Voice actor'': [[John Mariano]] (English)<br />
[[Isaac Sumdac]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] were using the forklift that would become Dirt Boss in their [[space bridge]] recreation project at [[Sumdac Tower]], but Bulkhead's natural clumsiness sent the forklift, the recently recaptured Headmaster unit, and three Allspark fragments plummeting several floors. While Isaac went to sleep off his scare and Bulkhead went to get help with reinforcing the tower's structural support for the new space bridge, the fallen objects fused together.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Imgdirtboss-animated.jpg|left|thumb|I gotta deal you can't-a refuse, icehole!]]<br />
<br />
By the time Bulkhead returned with [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] and [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]], who were beginning to come around to the idea of becoming [[Autobot]]s, Dirt Boss had come to life. Pulled up by Scrapper, the tiny terror immediately used his motor-control power on Scrapper to make him hit himself repeatedly. The three far larger robots were quickly cowed into submission, and Dirt Boss revealed his plan to hijack oil shipments to increase his power base in the city...a plan with which the two Constructicons quickly got on board.<br />
<br />
Leading the two on an overnight crime spree (and occasionally beating the Constructicons for drinking the profits), he revealed his plan to torch the [[Fossil Fuel]] plant, forcing the city to come to him for oil. Bulkhead attempted to stop them before they left, but that didn't go too well. Bulkhead was dragged to the fuel plant, and eventually Dirt Boss used his motor-control on him, intending him to start a fire that would destroy the plant (sacrificing the bound Mixmaster in the process). The rest of the Autobots arrived, but a stray spark set the spilled oil ablaze anyway. Dirt Boss took control of Mixmaster and Scrapper, who had become stuck together in the fight, and rode them to the top of the oil tower. Fortunately, Sumdac had followed them, carrying the [[plasmadynamic thruster]] from their space bridge. Bulkhead reprogrammed the device and transported the oil tanker—and the three Constructicons—to just offshore of [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]] just before it exploded. {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}<br />
<br />
48 days later, Scrapper had still not managed to contact or locate Dirt Boss or Mixmaster. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Well, it took a while, but anime fans can at last point to an honest-to-gosh reference to the anime ''[[wikipedia:Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' in ''Animated'': As confirmed by [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] over his Twitter feed, Dirt Boss is designed in homage to the small Lagann mecha from the show.<br />
* Despite having just been created, Dirt Boss manages to have a Decepticon insignia without [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s influence.<br />
* Dirt Boss can fire shells from his forehead to control other robots? [[Bombshell (G1)|Sounds familiar...]]<br />
* Dirt Boss's ultimate fate was never revealed before the end of the series, so it is up for debate as to whether or not he survived the oil tank explosion at the end of "Three's a Crowd". Derrick J. Wyatt says that he and Mixmaster "exploded away", whatever that means.[http://www.formspring.me/DerrickJWyatt/q/497123253] However, the [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2| AllSpark Almanac Volume II]] hints towards the fact that Mixmaster and Dirt Boss did survive the explosion. <br />

<br />
[[Image:Mixmaster animated RotC.jpg|right|300px|thumb|"Ey, you want it when?"]]<br />
'''Mixmaster''' (or "'''Mix'''" to his friends) seems to be the ''de facto'' leader of the [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicons]]. Not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, he spends his time overindulging in oil and [[Side Burn (RID)|whistling at passing cars]] with his buddy, [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]]. Mix isn't a bad sort at heart, always willing to help a fellow 'bot, but his moral compass is apparently guided by whoever's got the best oil to offer. For all their seeming unsophistication, he and Scrapper still have an innate knack for construction-related activities. They can slap together a sturdy construct out of raw materials in seconds, and just by looking at a set of blueprints, even incomplete ones, they can tell just what's needed to get the job done. In addition to the abilities he shares with his partner, Mixmaster can also create any number of chemical concoctions in the churning belly of his mixing drum.<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===''Animated'' cartoon===<br />
:''Voice actor:'' [[Jeff Glen Bennett]] (English), [[Reinhard Scheunemann]] (German)<br />
<br />
[[Image:RiseoftheConstructicons-Gen2HomageVehicleModes.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"Yo, fleshie mook, ain't no one drivin' us Constructicons! We drive ourselves!"]]<br />
<br />
Mix and his compatriot Scrapper were spontaneously brought to life by [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] shards embedded in them. Though not quick on the uptake, the two Constructibots were able to name themselves and quickly hit the ground running...after attractive sports cars. When he noticed a construction accident about to harm [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], he pulled over with his friend and intervened. Tidying up the construction site with a fair amount of skill, he befriended the large Autobot and pressured him into going off for an oil break...from a nearby oil tanker. After expressing his misgivings about stealing oil, Bulkhead took the two Constructobots to the old auto factory to meet the other Autobots. Mixmaster and Scrapper proved too rough around the edges even for [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet's]] tastes, and their cavorting woke up [[Sari Sumdac|Sari]]. Mixmaster didn't think much of their stickshift-in-the-mud leader, [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]], who asked Bulkhead why he was bringing "strangers" to their base (thus proving to be none too observant in the search for AllSpark fragments himself). After a game of flattened-oil-barrel Frisbee severed Sari's pigtails, Mix found himself and Scrapper kicked out the factory by Prime.<br />
<br />
Dejected, Mixmaster and Scrapper happened upon [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] and [[Lugnut]] stealing construction supplies...very ineffectively. Once again, they intervened just before someone could get hurt, saving Blitzwing from getting creamed by the load he was carrying. Mixmaster then heard approaching police sirens, which Blitzwing told them was a quitting time signal, meaning they could go home. Mix and Scrapper indicated they didn't have a home, so their two new buddies offered to let the Constructobots come home with them, saying Mix and Scrapper would be welcome to stay as long as they hauled the heavy trailers of supplies. As Mixmaster obligingly pushed the supply containers uphill and out of earshot, he didn't hear Blitzwing ease Lugnut's concerns about [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s disapproval by assuring that he'd take take the two new bots offline once the heavy lifting was done. After the load was hauled, Mixmaster was all set for a reward, unaware Lugnut was about to use [[The Punch|his signature punch]] upon him and Scrapper, when Megatron intervened. Mixmaster followed Megatron into the Decepticons' inner sanctum, where he saw the [[space bridge]] schematics. He and Scrapper immediately knew exactly what supplies would be needed to complete the bridge, as well as where they could be obtained.<br />
<br />
The next day, Mixmaster and Scrapper "acquired" (stole) a load of construction materials and were fleeing pursuit by [[Sumdac Systems]] police robots when they ran into Bulkhead again. Stopping the chase, Bulkhead asked them what they were doing, and the Constructobots, being trusting souls, ''told'' him. Mixmaster couldn't figure out why Bulky was so upset they were working for the Decepticons until he said Megatron was trying to put one over on them. Mix and Scrapper weren't about to stand still for ''that'', and they sped off to settle the score. Their initial complaints didn't go over well, as the Decepticon leader proved far less gentle and jovial, slamming them up against the mountainside near the mine. When Mixmaster said ''why'' they were angry, though, Megatron turned on the sweet talk again, spinning a tale of Autobot oppression. This proved a bit high-concept for Mixmaster, but then Megatron offered to explain it over a few barrels of oil. This was far more Mix and Scrapper's speed, and soon they were guzzling away while Megatron once again pitched the space bridge project.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Constructobots smoking.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Doing "The Locomotion" can be hazardous to your health.]]<br />
Showing up at the auto factory, Mixmaster revealed that they were now working for Megatron. Much like real construction workers, they went to the highest bidder, and Megatron had better oil. Showing there were no hard feelings, they said they weren't about to hurt the Autobots, just come pick up the AllSpark fragments and be on their way. Optimus Prime objected, but Mixmaster called him a dipstick and knocked over the 98-ton-weakling. A fight broke out, and Mixmaster went so far as to ransom [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] for the fragments. However, once Bulkhead handed over the fragments, Mixmaster had no trouble accepting Bulky's offer to have "one for the road." Of course, he didn't know Bulkhead had secretly slipped him and Scrapper some tainted oil, contaminated by the expired fixative that Bulkhead had saved. As Mixmaster and Scrapper ran off, the bad oil reacted explosively, knocking them out so the Autobots could reclaim the fragments. The blast also scrambled their memories, so when Mixmaster came to, he didn't know who the big, angry guy was or why he was ranting about someone named Megatron and flinging his wrecking ball at them. Confused and frightened, Mixmaster decided to vamoose. {{storylink|Rise of the Constructicons}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:'sHome Constructicons Slip.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Disney on Ice presents, two construction vehicles slipping on juice.]]<br />
Continuing to function, Mix and Scrapper continued to wander around guzzling fuel, gaining the attention of the Autobots, Decepticons and police; all the while, Mix kept trying to remember where they'd found the "really good oil" last time. Finding a trail of Bumblebee's leaking lubricant, Mix followed it back to Autobot base and quickly burned the door down in order to find any oil in there. He soon came across [[Sari Sumdac|a small fleshy thing]] but when he asked it if it knew where there was any oil, it unleashed a sonic attack to overload their audio sensors.<br />
<br />
While Scrapper was scared and wanted to leave, fearing this creature was what had caused their memory loss, Mix was determined to find oil and told his friend to "grow a backhoe". However, their search continuously drew them into conflict with the strange creature; Mix became angry enough to threaten it with violence, ignore all of Scrapper's warnings and then be drawn into a really blatant trap. A severe beating by the factory assembly line finally convinced him that Scrapper was right, no oil was worth this, and the two fled the base. <br />
<br />
Luckily [[Blitzwing (Animated)|a nice German guy]] turned up with some barrels of that really good oil, and the Constructicons followed him home. Good thing that small fleshy thing drove them off, or they'd never have met this guy and gone off with him! {{storylink|Sari, No One's Home}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Mixmaster branded.jpg|right|200px|thumb|It burns us!!]]<br />
Under the watchful eye of Megatron, Mixmaster and his buddy Scrapper helped the Decepticons finish their space bridge and were rewarded with being [[Branding|branded]] as Decepticons themselves. Later, Mixmaster encountered Bulkhead, but due to the memory wipe from the spiked oil he and Scrapper drank, neither of them recognized him. Mixmaster proved his worth as a Decepticon warrior after using his quick-drying cement to anchor Prowl and Optimus Prime to the ground when the Autobots invaded the Decepticon base. The feeling of victory was short-lived, as [[Starscream (Animated)|some loud-mouth]] and [[Starscream clone (Animated)|a bunch of oddly colored jets]] broke into the base from above. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}<br />
<br />
Mix would've happily stayed out of this fight, except one of those good-for-nothing 'bots spilt his oil! His blasts of quick-drying cement were a major asset in the battle, helping paralyze foes like [[Thundercracker (Animated)|some big-headed jerk]]. He later cheered on Megatron's victory (despite having no idea what this "Cybertron" thing was anyway) only to watch it all fall apart when the Space Bridge malfunctioned. Mix was last seen heroically trying to save the oil from a cave-in. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}<br />
<br />
Having somehow gotten out of the rubble, Mixmaster and Scrapper took refuge in an old car manufacturing plant, where they drooled over in-repair cars. Soon, they were found by Bulkhead, who offered them a job, and after some initial hesistance, they accepted the job. They soon figured out that Bulkhead wasn't lying about the job being big, and it would "run him some serious overtime." Just after they started working, Scrapper found something heavy on the floor that he was picking up rubble from, and it took Mixmaster's help to get it up. What they pulled up was a forklift. But not just any forklift, but a Constructicon forklift, [[Dirt Boss (Animated) |Dirt Boss]]. Dirt Boss easily obtains servants in both Mixmaster & Scrapper after he toys with Scrapper in the classic tease of "Stop hitting yourself". The Constructicon trio decide to take over the city by stealing all of the city's oil, much to MIxmaster's, along with Scrapper's, happiness. Mixmaster, along with Scrapper, then proceed to help Dirt Boss attack an oil tankor (driven by Sparkplug Witwicky), in which they throw him out, and drag the tankor away. This little conflict attracts the atteniton of not only the Detroit Powell Press (Man, Powell's got connections!), but also the Detroit Police Department, as do their continued attacks on ships and gas stations. <br />
<br />
After a while, Mixmaster, along with Scrapper, begins to enjoy all the oil they've stolen, but Dirt Boss doesn't like that they're drinking it, and tells them it's not for drinking. Mix is later forced to help Dirt Boss destroy the Detroit Fossil Fuel Refinery, by lighting the oil on fire. Bulkhead refuses to allow this to happen, and tries (but fails) to stop them with his wrecking-ball arm, which ends up getting stuck in Mixmaster's chemical arm. Mixmaster is then forced to drag Bulkhead everywhere he goes, but Bulkhead wasn't entirely useless, as he could be the one to torch the refinery, at the cost of his life. Only problem is...Mixmaster is still attached to him, so he would be destroyed as well. Both Scrapper and Dirt Boss say it's for a worthy cause, which greatly angers Mixmaster. Once the Autobots arrive on the scene, Bulkhead (Having been taken control of by Dirt Boss) is forced to attack the Autobots, using Mixmaster's body as a weapon (Much to Mixmaster's annoyance). Eventually, Bulkhead is freed from Dirt Boss's control, and he manages to separate himself from Mixmaster. Though, Mixmaster is then faced with yet another problem. When Bulkhead managed to get him off, Mix went flying back, and landed right on top of Scrapper, who got his arm stuck in his chemical-dispensing thing in his chest (Man Mix, it is just not your day!) Dirt Boss then proceeded to take them to the top of an oil tank (which is about to explode), and they are transwarped away with it, and are with it when it explodes in the middle of Lake Erie.<br />
{{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}<br />
<br />
48 days later, Scrapper had still not managed to contact or locate Mixmaster or Dirt Boss. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
[[Image:Mixmasterbutt.JPG|right|95px|thumb|Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!]]<br />
* Mixmaster follows the true blue-collar construction worker tradition of showing his buttcrack.<br />
* Mixmaster calls himself Mix because he thinks the name Mixmaster is too long, yet thinks [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrap]] is too short.<br />
* Mixmaster starts out in a more standard construction vehicle color scheme of yellow and gray, and only switches to the classic Constructicon green and purple after becoming a Decepticon. His eyes changed color (yellow to red) as well.<br />
* In a particular odd bit of concept art, Mixmaster's vehicle mode is shown in an upturned position supported only by his shovel. Almost like... a [[Devastator (G1)|leg]]. Naaaaw, couldn't be...<ref>Hasbro Design Sketchbook Volume 1 - 2008, p 51</ref><br />
* Mixmaster's voice is very reminiscent of [[wikipedia:Joe_Pesci|Joe Pesci]]'s. The episode "[[Sari, No One's Home]]" utilizes a theme homaging the [[wikipedia:Home_Alone|''Home Alone'']] movie series, which co-starred Joe Pesci as a hapless thief.<br />
* Mixmaster's ultimate fate was never revealed before the end of the series, so it is up for debate as to whether or not he survived the oil tank explosion at the end of "Three's a Crowd". Derrick J. Wyatt says that he and Dirt Boss "exploded away", whatever that means.[http://www.formspring.me/DerrickJWyatt/q/497123253] However, it is hinted at in [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2| The AllSpark Almanac II]] that they did actually survive, and reunite with Scrapper.<br />
[[Image:Animated Mixmaster nametag.jpg|right|thumb|150px]]<br />
* Even though after he was activated he seemed to settle on "Mix" as his proper name, he is usually called "Mixmaster" by the other characters.<br />
* When Mix was choosing a name, Scrapper referred to his little name tag which said "Mix Master" with two words. Even so, he is listed as "Mixmaster" with one word in the credits.<br />

:''Dirt Boss is a [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''<br />

<br />
Created accidentally by the fusion of a forklift, a [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster unit]] and an [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] fragment, '''Dirt Boss''' is a little bot with big, big plans. Sick of having been bossed around back when he was nothing more than a simple machine, he's decided that ''he's'' going to be giving the orders from now on! <br />
<br />
His nasty attitude might be enough to accomplish this on its own, but he's capable of getting muscle for his jobs very quickly. He can fire a small remote control device from his forehead, tipped with a drill that allows it to bore its way into other other machines—Transformers included—giving Dirt Boss direct control of their motor functions. And if he really has to get his servos dirty, his stumpy little legs are actually quite capable of delivering a brutal roundhouse. Now he's taken command of the other [[Constructicon (Animated)|Constructicon]]s and is going to make sure [[Detroit]] knows who's boss!<br />

:''Voice actor'': [[John Mariano]] (English)<br />
[[Isaac Sumdac]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] were using the forklift that would become Dirt Boss in their [[space bridge]] recreation project at [[Sumdac Tower]], but Bulkhead's natural clumsiness sent the forklift, the recently recaptured Headmaster unit, and three Allspark fragments plummeting several floors. While Isaac went to sleep off his scare and Bulkhead went to get help with reinforcing the tower's structural support for the new space bridge, the fallen objects fused together.<br />
<br />

<br />
By the time Bulkhead returned with [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]] and [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]], who were beginning to come around to the idea of becoming [[Autobot]]s, Dirt Boss had come to life. Pulled up by Scrapper, the tiny terror immediately used his motor-control power on Scrapper to make him hit himself repeatedly. The three far larger robots were quickly cowed into submission, and Dirt Boss revealed his plan to hijack oil shipments to increase his power base in the city...a plan with which the two Constructicons quickly got on board.<br />
<br />
Leading the two on an overnight crime spree (and occasionally beating the Constructicons for drinking the profits), he revealed his plan to torch the [[Fossil Fuel]] plant, forcing the city to come to him for oil. Bulkhead attempted to stop them before they left, but that didn't go too well. Bulkhead was dragged to the fuel plant, and eventually Dirt Boss used his motor-control on him, intending him to start a fire that would destroy the plant (sacrificing the bound Mixmaster in the process). The rest of the Autobots arrived, but a stray spark set the spilled oil ablaze anyway. Dirt Boss took control of Mixmaster and Scrapper, who had become stuck together in the fight, and rode them to the top of the oil tower. Fortunately, Sumdac had followed them, carrying the [[plasmadynamic thruster]] from their space bridge. Bulkhead reprogrammed the device and transported the oil tanker—and the three Constructicons—to just offshore of [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]] just before it exploded. {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}<br />
<br />
48 days later, Scrapper had still not managed to contact or locate Dirt Boss or Mixmaster. {{storylink|Human Error, Part II}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
* Well, it took a while, but anime fans can at last point to an honest-to-gosh reference to the anime ''[[wikipedia:Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' in ''Animated'': As confirmed by [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] over his Twitter feed, Dirt Boss is designed in homage to the small Lagann mecha from the show.<br />
* Despite having just been created, Dirt Boss manages to have a Decepticon insignia without [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s influence.<br />
* Dirt Boss can fire shells from his forehead to control other robots? [[Bombshell (G1)|Sounds familiar...]]<br />
* Dirt Boss's ultimate fate was never revealed before the end of the series, so it is up for debate as to whether or not he survived the oil tank explosion at the end of "Three's a Crowd". Derrick J. Wyatt says that he and Mixmaster "exploded away", whatever that means.[http://www.formspring.me/DerrickJWyatt/q/497123253] However, the [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2| AllSpark Almanac Volume II]] hints towards the fact that Mixmaster and Dirt Boss did survive the explosion. <br />

<br />
'''''Transformers Animated''''' is a cartoon series which debuted on [[December 26]], [[2007]], in support of the [[franchise]] of [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|the same name]].<br />
<br />
The cartoon is produced by [[Cartoon Network]], scripted in the United States, with character and background designs by the crews behind shows like ''[[wikipedia:Teen Titans (TV series)|Teen Titans]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Ben 10|Ben 10]]'', while animation is being provided by Japanese studios [[Mook]], [[The Answer Studio]], [[Studio 4°C]] and [[Barnum Studio]]. <br />
<br />
''Animated'' sees several [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1]] voice actors reprise their old roles ([[Susan Blu]], [[Corey Burton]], [[John Moschitta]], etc.), and is the first ''Transformers'' series featuring [[David Kaye]] in which he isn't voicing [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]].<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
{{see|Transformers Animated timeline}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:TransformersAnimatedPoster.jpg|left|250px|thumb|"When there's trouble you know who to call..."]]<br />
''Animated'' follows the adventures of a small crew of Autobots who come into possession of the all-powerful AllSpark artifact. Stranded on Earth and living among the population of [[Detroit]], they face off against a series of human villains and their mighty Decepticon foes, who seek to possess the AllSpark. Though they were originally a lowly space bridge repair crew, these five Autobots must rise to their circumstances to deal with threats large and small.<br />
<br />
The series eschews the ever-continuing space opera storylines of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] cartoons to return to the episodic approach of ''[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]''; most episodes are standalone stories, but with larger story arcs that stretch through the whole series. The focus is on characterization, dynamic action, and humor. <br />
<br />
The episodes center not only on the war between the [[Autobot]]s and the [[Decepticon]]s, but also on the Autobots' interactions with many of [[Detroit|Detroit's]] [[human]] supervillain denizens, including a [[Angry Archer|maladjusted marksman]], a [[Nanosec|speedy racer]], and a guy who [[Meltdown (Animated)|looks good in a pimp suit]]. The idea is to present the Decepticons as more of an ongoing background threat instead of having them be repeatedly defeated each episode and look like bumbling fools. The arrival of a Decepticon in battle is a big deal, requiring multiple Autobots working together to stop even a single one. The human villains give the Autobots "everyday" threats, and some of their schemes are the result of Decepticon treachery. Note well: [[Doctor Arkeville|Human]] [[Lord Chumley|adversaries]] [[Circuit Breaker|are]] [[Cobra Commander|not]] [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|new]] [[Lazarus|in]] [[Mega|''Transformers'']] [[Giga|continuity]].<br />
<br />
While the series is not a sequel to the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action movie]], they have many thematic elements in common, most notably the central role of the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] and the revelation that all modern technology has been reverse-engineered from the dormant body of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. Hasbro also carried over some design elements from the live-action movie into ''Animated'' designs, including not just the aforementioned cube but also [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]]'s medical readout striped deco, [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]'s black racing stripe, and [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]'s helmet. These are meant to be "connection points," helping kids who had seen the theatrical film but had no prior ''Transformers'' experience ease into understanding the new series.<br />
<br />
The series also includes many elements and homages to prior ''Transformers'' series. Most conspicuously, it has many parallels to ''Generation 1'' character designs, personalities, and major characteristics; [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] and [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]] are even voiced by the same voice actors as their G1 analogues. ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' gets nods in the form of the inclusion of new versions/homages of [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] and [[Wasp|Waspinator]], plus the overall plot structure: The main war is over, the good guys won, but now a small team of heroes never meant for combat roles must go up against an upstart cell of villains led by a charismatic rogue.<br />
<br />
At [[BotCon 2009]], Cartoon Network representatives confirmed longstanding fan rumors that the end of season 3 marked the series finale--meaning it had in fact [[Ruined FOREVER|already ended with no prior acknowledgment or explanation]].<br />

==Comic adaptations==<br />
A [[Transformers Animated (IDW Publishing)|comic adaptation]] of the series was published by [[IDW Publishing]] starting in January 2008. The book used cartoon screen captures arranged in comic book style panels.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
''Transformers Animated'' debuted [[January 5]], [[2008]], at 10:30am EST as the number one television show among boys 6-11 in both cable and network television. In addition, the strength of the showing helped lift the ratings of all its neighboring shows in Cartoon Network's "Dynamite Action" scheduling block. <ref>[http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,1701434,00.html ''Transformers Animated'' Premieres #1 on All Television Among Boys and Boosts Kids 6-11 and 2-11 Delivery by Powerful Double-Digits]</ref><br />
<br />
The immediate response to the earliest promotional materials from the online fandom was the [[Ruined FOREVER|painfully traditional one]], with an added dash of overblown paranoia that the franchise would be far too "[[Playskool|kid-oriented]]" for longtime fans to enjoy, based on nothing more than its artistic style. Attitudes took an eyebrow-raisingly sharp turn with the premiere of the first footage from the show at San Diego Comic-Con 2007 and Hasbro's presentation at [[BotCon 2007]], and after the debut of the show, it was essentially only the most ardent "already-made-up-their-mind-to-hate-it" viewers who were speaking ill. In particular, many fears were alleviated with the airing of "[[The Thrill of the Hunt]]", which involved [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] savagely beating [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] for revenge, Ratchet coping with the loss of [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]'s memories, and a look at the horrors of war. This unusual level of maturity let many fans warm up to the new series.<br />
<br />
The aforementioned ability of the series to carry on story arcs for multiple episodes and, in many cases, for an entire season also lends itself to enjoyment by older viewers. Multiple plot lines run simultaneously and are not resolved within a single episode, allowing a deeper, more intricate story than previous ''Transformers'' series. The return of [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] took up most of season one, and the construction of the [[space bridge]] and the revelation of the identity of the Decepticon [[Shockwave (Animated)|traitor]] among the Autobots unfolded throughout the second season, while the mystery of [[Sari Sumdac|Sari's]] origin has been hinted at throughout the entire series.<br />
<br />
Animated also lends itself less eagerly to the common practices used in Transformers cartoons [[to sell toys]], with substantial plot points being given to characters that do not have toys and the same core cast of characters being kept constant throughout the three-season run.<br />
<br />
While the first two seasons had several moments of surprising maturity, season 3 can be noted for an overall darker tone. It featured a number of character deaths (including two of the core cast), vicious assault and several storylines which dealt with more mature themes. The most obvious example would be the character of Sentinel Prime, who went from being a bungling egomaniac with a chip on his shoulder to being a bungling egomaniac with a chip on his shoulder who tried to kill one of his oldest friends and manipulated the Cybertronian political system so he could blow stuff up but good.<br />
<br />
==Japanese release==<br />
<br />
[[Image:TransformersAnimatedJapLogo01.jpg|center|300px]]<br />
<br />
''Transformers Animated'' (トランスフォーマー アニメイテッド) began airing on the [[TV Tokyo]] affiliate, [[TV Aichi]], at 8am on [[April 3]], [[2010]], with a regular Saturday morning timeslot. This also happens to be the same exact timeslot that the last ''Transformers'' cartoon to air in Japan, ''[[Cybertron (cartoon)|Galaxy Force]]'', had. The series is broadcast in widescreen, but unfortunately, rather than use the full widescreen image originally animated (see Trivia, below), the Japanese broadcast consists of the fullscreen image with illustrated borders to fill out the empty space.<br />
<br />
[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/285256-figure-king-issue-143-image-scans.html According to a preview article] in ''[[Figure Ō]]'' issue 143, [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/animated-8/latest-edition-of-tv-magazine-reveals-new-transformers-animated-japan-details-169265/ one in] the ''[[TV Magazine]]'' April 2010 issue, ''Animated'' was to be heavily edited to streamline it with the [[Transformers (2007)|Movie franchise]] with an effort to make it take place ''within'' that continuity. [[TakaraTomy]] marketing director [[Masahiko Yamazaki]] has stated that due to Optimus Prime not being a [[Supreme Commander]] in ''Animated'', the show must take place chronologically before the events of the 2007 ''Transformers'' feature film in an interview with [[Noriaki Maeda]] in [http://www.allspark.com/index.php?set_albumName=album354&id=figure_oh_144_02_2010_18&option=com_gallery&Itemid=4&include=view_photo.php Figure Ō issue 144]<br />
<br />
Though most character names have ''not'' been altered from their Western version ("Optimus Prime" ''not'' being renamed "Convoy", for example), "Bulkhead" has been changed to "[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]" in order to add more recognizable names from the Movie. Yamazaki was quoted as saying that Bulkhead would ''become'' Movie Ironhide and "share his world view" (a psychotic gun nut rather than an artful gentle giant). This statement is contradicted by the actual dub of the show, where Bulkhead remains a big dumb lug.<br />
<br />
How much the show will actually be altered to fit in with the Movie franchise, if it actually will be ''at all'', remains to be seen. <br />
<br />
Episode order has also been heavily altered so that characters with toys can appear sooner in the series. For instance, "[[Sound and Fury]]" will be broadcast as the ''fourth'' episode rather than the ''seventh''. How this will affect the ongoing story arcs and internal continuity of the series is undetermined as of yet.<br />
<br />
The direction for the Japanese version is headed up by [[Iwanami Yoshikazu]], who had previously headed up the Japanese versions of [[Beast Wars (cartoon)|Beast Wars]], [[Beast Wars Metals]] and [[Beast Machines (cartoon)|Beast Wars Returns]] (all known for being radically altered, obnoxiously comical self-parodies).<br />
<br />
There are Blu-ray and DVD releases of the series tentatively scheduled for Fall of 2010. The first DVD volume is scheduled to be released on [[August 6]], 2010, by Paramount Japan, containing the episodes "Transform and Roll Out" and "Sound and Fury".<ref>[http://dvd.paramount.jp/tfa/ Animated DVD main page]</ref> From the specs regarding the DVD, the track will be in Japanese with 2.0ch Dolby Sound and it's supposed to be presented in 16:9.<ref>[http://dvd.paramount.jp/search/detail.php?id=6645 Paramount Japan's detailed listing]</ref><br />

The opening [[Japanese themes|theme]], "[[Transformers Evo.|TRANSFORMERS EVO.]]", is performed by [[JAM Project]] (single available on [[April 21]], 2010), while the ending theme, "[[Axel Transformers]]", is performed by [[Rey]] (single available on [[May 12]], 2010).<br />
<br />
Up to three minutes of content has been edited out from every episode. Much like the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1]] cartoon's Japanese version, these edits were made to accommodate longer opening and ending sequences. ''Unlike'' the Generation 1 cartoon's Japanese version, these edits were ''also'' made to accommodate new ending segments featuring the [[Otoboto family]]; a sitcom-style family who tell the audience all sorts of fun facts about the Transformers. ''Yikes''.<br />
<br />
On the bright side, the series received a newly animated [[title sequence#Japanese version|title sequence]] that is absolutely drop-dead ''gorgeous'', if full of spoilers and not an entirely accurate reflection of the content of the show. Still, it's pretty.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
[[Image:Tfa widescreen2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The American broadcast's fullscreen image, the original promo's widescreen, and Japanese broadcast's letterbox.]]<br />
*Despite being animated in a widescreen format, the series is delivered to Cartoon Network in a cropped-down, fullscreen format, and is subsequently broadcast this way. Alas, the series has been released on DVD in this format, too. Fans could glimpse various widescreen images in a promo reel screened at various conventions before the launch of the series, which was later included on the DVD packaged with action figure two-pack, "[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)/home video#Pack-in disc|The Battle Begins]]". The Japanese dub is also broadcast in the cropped format, although they use an Autobot-symbol wallpaper to fill in the sides.<br />
*The series is the first in over a decade to re-establish the classic ''Generation 1'' convention of blue eyes for Autobots and red eyes for Decepticons... though there are [[Jetfire (Animated)|the]] [[Swindle (Animated)|occasional]] [[Wasp|exceptions]].<br />
*As well as the aforementioned ''Generation 1'' voice actors, [[Townsend Coleman]] returns to a ''Transformers'' series. He voiced [[Rewind]] in the original ''Generation 1'' cartoon.<br />
**Interestingly, at least one cast member from every North American series sans [[Robots in Disguise (cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]] has played a character in Animated.<br />
*Derrick Wyatt singles out ''[[wikipedia:Mighty Orbots|Mighty Orbots]]'' and the British comic ''[[wikipedia:2000 AD (comics)|2000 AD]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ''[[wikipedia:ABC Warriors|ABC Warriors]]'' strip as the biggest influences on the character designs, with [[wikipedia:Gainax|Gainax]] animation studio as a constant source of influence.<ref>[http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21975298&amp;postID=8564559979841180115 Comment section of "Back from Botcon" entry in Derrick Wyatt's blog]</ref><br />
*In May 2008, when North American broadcasts of the series were only four episodes into season two, all the remaining episodes of the season aired in Dubai. While almost nobody in the fandom had personally seen these episodes (and no one had seen them in English as they were intended), gossip based on viewer reviews and screencaps resulted in many plot developments and potential surprises being spoiled. Hooray.<br />
*The lack of Supervillains and human characters in general in season 3 is due to Hasbro requesting their removal.<ref>http://www.allspark.com/content/view/4966/20/ From Derrick Wyatt's panel at TFCon2009</ref><br />

'''Lockdown returns, and [[Ratchet (Movie) |one autobot]] has unfinished business with him.'''<br />
<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
[[Sideswipe (ROTF) |Sideswipe]], after discovering him in the middle of [[Mission City]], is doing his best to repair Ratchet. However, what Sideswipe cannot repair, is the empty hole left in Ratchet's arm [[Cyber Missions 3|after the loss of his EMP blaster]]. However, Sideswipe tells him not to worry about it, as NEST has plenty of new weapons, including some pistols that Sideswipe picked up [[Cyber Missions 6|after he lost his swords]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Lockdown (ROTF) |Lockdown]] has managed to break into NEST command, and get inside undetected. He takes Sideswipe by surprise while he's training, and loses the EMP blaster after Sideswipe shoots him. Just as he goes to grab it, Ratchet manages to pick it up, and blast him back. At this point, Lockdown retreats. Sideswipe wants to go after him, but Ratchet states that there's no need, as Lockdown is headed right for the medical bay.<br />
<br />
Lockdown runs into a dark room, and is grabbed, thrust onto a table, and put into stasis by the medical lab's tools. Ratchet and Sideswipe then enter, and have plans for Lockdown...<br />
<br />
To be continued...<br />

'''Lockdown returns, and [[Ratchet (Movie) |one autobot]] has unfinished business with him.'''<br />
<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
[[Sideswipe (ROTF) |Sideswipe]], after discovering him in the middle of [[Mission City]], is doing his best to repair Ratchet. However, what Sideswipe cannot repair, is the empty hole left in Ratchet's arm [[Cyber Missions 3|after the loss of his EMP blaster]]. However, Sideswipe tells him not to worry about it, as NEST has plenty of new weapons, including some pistols that Sideswipe picked up [[Cyber Missions 6|after he lost his swords]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, [[Lockdown (ROTF) |Lockdown]] has managed to break into NEST command, and get inside undetected. He takes Sideswipe by surprise while he's training, and loses the EMP blaster after Sideswipe shoots him. Just as he goes to grab it, Ratchet manages to pick it up, and blast him back. At this point, Lockdown retreats. Sideswipe wants to go after him, but Ratchet states that there's no need, as Lockdown is headed right for the medical bay.<br />
<br />
Lockdown runs into a dark room, and is grabbed, thrust onto a table, and put into stasis by the medical lab's tools. Ratchet and Sideswipe then enter, and have plans for Lockdown...<br />
<br />
