'''[[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys blow up in his labs, but hopefully these won't!

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Wheeljack''' (1984, 1991)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''03'''[[Image:G1Wheeljack toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?]]
**''Accessories:'' 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 wings

: The original Wheeljack toy, released as part of the [[1984]] series of Autobots, was based on a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Lancia Stratos Turbo. The deco is based on a specific racing version, the "Group 5" Stratos,<ref name="group5">[http://www.stratossupersite.com/Group5Stratos.htm Information about the real-life Group 5 Stratos]</ref> with sponsor decals by Italian airline [[Wikipedia:Alitalia|Alitalia]], which were changed to "Alital'''l'''a" for the toy (presumably to avoid licensing problems... yeah, it apparently did work like that back in the day). He comes with two rocket launchers that can fire four projectiles and two clear wings. In robot mode, the rocket launchers and the wings mount onto his shoulder and back respectively. For some reason, Wheeljack's lower arms/hands cannot lock into his upper arms, leaving them hanging at an angle.

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

: Unfortunately for many collectors, Wheeljack's mold has been damaged or destroyed, meaning his chances of future reissue looks bleak. The closest version of the figure to currency is the European [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissue.

: A [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy was the basis for the obscure [[Decepticon]] "[[Marlboor Wheeljack]]".

* '''Wheeljack''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: [[Action Master]] Wheeljack is a non-transforming action figure sculpted based upon his cartoon appearances. He comes with the [[Turbo Racer]], a large red sports car based upon the Ferrari Testarossa that can seat two Action Master figures. The Turbo Racer has an "attack mode" where it transforms into something vaguely resembling an aircraft made from car parts.

: The Wheeljack figure was later redecoed to make [[Slicer]].

===Universe (2003)===
[[Image:SpychangerWheeljack.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Where's your head at, at?]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (Spychanger, 2004)
**''Accessories:'' Gun

:This version of Wheeljack is a redeco of [[Spy Changer]] [[Daytonus]], transforming into a Le Mans racing car. He is cast in white plastic with mostly black paint. The toy has several stickers to represent Wheeljack's earlier Lancia Stratos colours, including his racing number 539. He comes with a small black rifle that can be stored between his legs in vehicle mode.

===Alternators===

* '''Wheeljack''' ([[2005]])
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''13'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/"Laser-strafer rifle", "cryo-sword"

: ''[[Alternators]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''Alternators'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]]. He transforms into a 2005 (S197 chassis) model Ford Mustang GT, painted white with blue stripes. In vehicle mode, he features highly realistic styling, opening doors, hood and trunk, as well as a detailed car interior. In robot mode his removable engine becomes a double-barreled laser.

:The Japanese ''Binaltech'' release of the figure has a slightly retooled head (see image inset), different paint applications, and is partially constructed of die-cast metal.

===Generations===
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher
[[Image:UnitedGenerationsWheeljack.jpg|right|thumb|300px|You don't want to drop ''these'' wrenches.]]
:''[[Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] [[Tracks (G1)|Turbo Tracks]], featuring a new head, wings, clip-on wrenches, new vehicle mode front fenders and rear spoiler, and a modified transformation sequence (with reassembly in his legs) so as to present a robot mode reminiscent of the original Wheeljack toy. He retains Tracks' gun, which in reality was Wheeljack's own rocket launcher, and as such, clips onto his shoulder.

: Though Wheeljack's toy is heavily retooled, his instructions are not. They depict Wheeljack with his proper head, but most of the rest of the art depicts Tracks's parts, including Tracks's leg transformation. Do not attempt to extend Wheeljack's legs as far as the instruction art shows, because that's some excessive force that's not meant to be applied.

===United===
[[Image:Unitedtoy_wheeljack.jpg|right|thumb|300px|You laugh, but few sights have Cons (and Bots) flee in more desperate terror than Wheeljack brandishing tools.]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''UN-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

:Part of the ''[[United (toyline)|United]]'' toyline, TakaraTomy's redeco of Wheeljack is only minimally different from the ''Generations'' figure, sporting painted silver ears and hubcaps, and metallic green paint for his stripes, which are now a touch larger and follow a slightly different pattern. Real thrilling stuff.

==Merchandise==
===Stamp Bot===
[[Image:Wheeljack_stampbot.jpg |right|150px|thumb]]
*'''Wheeljack''' ( 1984)

:Made by HG Toys, Stamp Bot Wheeljack is a small, non-poseable figurine of Wheeljack based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Wheeljack's race car mode.

{{-}}

===Zipper Clip===
[[Image:Zipperclipwheeljack.jpg|right|150px|thumb]]
*'''Wheeljack''' ( 1985)

:Also made by HG Toys, Zipper Clip Wheeljack is a scaled-down version of Stamp Bot Wheeljack, minus the rubber stamp base. Molded onto his head was a small hole, through which a metal clip was looped, allowing the figurine to attach to the end of a zipper.

{{-}}

===Decoy===
[[Image:Decoy_wheeljack.jpg|right|150px|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)
: This small red rubber figurine of Wheeljack was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Wheeljack's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for.

*'''Wheeljack''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''22'''

: The Wheeljack figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (22, in Wheeljack's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s.

===Super Collection Figure===
[[Image:Wheeljack_scf_pvc.jpg|right|150px|thumb]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (2002)

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Wheeljack was available in the seventh ''[[Victory (franchise)|Victory]]''-centric wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures. Additionally, the pewter version of Wheeljack came packaged with right "boot" piece needed to transform the wave's [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] figure into Victory Saber.

===Heroes of Cybertron===
*'''Wheeljack''' (2003)

: Wheeljack's ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was released the following year by Hasbro as part of their ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Wheeljack was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head. Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold separate on a blister card and came packaged with the right arm of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

===Hard Hero===
[[Image:Wheeljackbust.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Optimus Prime! I built a machine that removes legs and replaces them with small pedestals! Come see!]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (Hard Hero, 2003)

:[[Hard Hero]] released a polystone bust of Wheeljack, based upon his appearance in the Generation 1 television series. The tenth bust in their main ''Transformers'' series, Wheeljack is some six inches tall and was limited to 2500 normal copies and an additional 100 exclusively signed by the sculptor.

==Notes==
[[Image:DiacloneWheeljackConcept.jpg|right|300px|thumb|If only...]]
* An early concept design of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Generation 1 Wheeljack was depicted in a catalog from late 1982/early 1983, depicting a considerably better proportioned robot mode with longer legs.
* Wheeljack was given an homage in the form of ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. Downshift has Wheeljack's colors, face, and even feet modeled after the Lancia grill. The character was even called Wheeljack in Japan's ''Super Link'' series, something Hasbro could not do because the name had already been used on [[Wheeljack (Armada)|a character]] from the [[Armada (franchise)|previous series]]. Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as the [[BotCon 2010]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slicer|Slicer/"Decepticon Slice"]], representing the same character as the [[Generation 1 (European toyline)|European-only Generation 1]] [[Action Master]] Slicer, a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy.
* ''Energon'' Downshift also received a new-sculpt toy in the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, which looked considerably less like Generation 1 Wheeljack save for the head sculpt... and the ''feet'', which are sculpted after Wheeljack's distinct Lancia Stratos grill feet. Now ''that's'' a weird homage.
* The retool of ''[[Alternators]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] was originally planned to be [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] (presumably in red), but ultimately ended up as Wheeljack instead, with a new head sculpt. Meanwhile, the head sculpt originally intended for Ford-Windcharger ended up being used for the retool of ''Alternators'' "Windcharger" (the Honda S2000 mold, designed as [[Overdrive]] and released under that name by Takara) instead, and now named "[[Decepticharge]]".

Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys

2010-03-23T13:21:47Z

Pich Black: /* Voyager Class toys */

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a couple of movies that made millions of dollars. Woohoo!

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader.) This is excluding his Cyber Stomper and transformable gun toys.

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Prime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Shortening the smokestacks is good; [[For safety reasons|it makes the toy safer]]. But removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in robot mode. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's vehicle mode, aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[Ball joint|ball joints]].

{{-}}
[[Image:TargetGenerationsLegends.jpg|right|thumb|150px|"Say, have we met?" "No, I'm not from around here." "I can tell. You look ''way'' more realistic than I do."]]
*'''Generations Legends''' (Target exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Target exclusive, this four-pack of Legends Class figures contains two versions of both Optimus Prime and Megatron, namely [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime]], Movie Legends Optimus Prime, [[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Legends of Cybertron Megatron]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Movie Legends Megatron]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Get ready for the safety recall, folks.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys'R'Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of Optimus Prime, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].
{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:In robot mode he resembles previous Optimus characters: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth. While an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble says "Exclusive movie poster!", it is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Optimus Prime's ancestor|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]].

{{-}}
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[E-Hobby|e-Hobby]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

{{-}}
*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (multi-pack, UK 2007)

:This three-pack, which was available at general retail in the United Kingdom, contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Protoform Optimus Prime together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a...gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg into his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

[[Image:Movie Robovision OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|We'd hate to see what those smokestacks looked like BEFORE Hasbro shortened them.]]
*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

:This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)

:A two-pack, exclusiveliy available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager Class Optimus Prime and an equally unchanged Deluxe Class Concept Camaro [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]].

{{-}}
*'''Battle damage three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive three-pack, 2007)

:A three-pack, exclusive to Sam's Club stores, consisting of redecos of Voyager Class Optimus Prime and Deluxe Class [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], both with a battle damage deco, and an unchanged Voyager Class [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Voyager Firststrike OptimusPrime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Think the [[Geewun|Geewunners]] will shut up now?]]
*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is a extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the transformation scheme, this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

{{-}}
*'''Autobot Optimus Prime''' ("international market" exclusive Voyager-sized toy, 2008)

:A single-packed version of the battle damaged Voyager Optimus Prime toy from the Sam's Club exclusive three-pack. Although the assortment number and the general packaging style seemed to indicate that this might be a Best Buy exclusive, this has been confirmed to be an "international market" exclusive. It has been released in Asia, but will presumably not be available in the USA outside the Sam's Club three-pack.

{{-}}
*'''Freeway Brawl Optimus Prime (Two-Pack)''' ("Screen Battles" Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A second Target-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the grey molded pieces now are beige-grey and multiple parts that previously molded blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped with extra [[Paint operation|paint applications]] to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the mold. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]].

{{-}}
====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:MovieLeader OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Y'think Prime got a makeover? We have it on good authority that Movie [[Roller]] is a kicked-out low-rider with a jammin' sound system and neon-purple undercarriage lighting.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His Ion Blaster weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel (known among fans as a 'hitch') is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

: Featuring a complex transformation, essentially the front and back ends of the truck fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints and ankles. Again, unusually for a mainline figure, especially at the Leader price point, his hands have individually articulated fingers and thumbs.

*'''Optimus Prime bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:A Costco exclusive special pack of Leader Class Optimus Prime with Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] as bonus figures. All three toys are unchanged from their respective original releases.

[[Image:Movie G4Contest Chrome OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|250px|Completists, eat your heart out!]]
*'''Chrome Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: Two custom-made pieces (presented in robot and vehicle mode) by the [[Hasbro]] ''Transformers'' team as the grand prize for G4TV and [http://www.jumpcut.com Jumpcut]'s contest for fans to remix selected Transformers clips. Won by [http://www.TFW2005.com/ TFW2005.com] member James Zahn, this one-of-a-kind (well, two-of-a-kind) piece is an almost fully [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] Leader-class Optimus Prime in red, silver and blue (based heavily upon Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]), presented with a custom display base with an embossed silver Autobot insignia and a perspex display case.

:It is certainly one of the rarest Transformers toys ever, and unless you are James, you will never own one.

[[Image:Movie Leader Nightwatch OptimusPrime 2007.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Either this is [[Ultra Magnus (disambiguation)|Ultra Magnus]] or [[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]].]]
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.

: This version was released in the UK several months before the ''AllSpark Power'' version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design. This version was also released by TakaraTomy in Japan.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Leader Nightwatch OptimusPrime 2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Ultra Prime or Nemesis Magnus?]]
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, USA 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.

: Another difference is that this version comes in an ''AllSpark Power''-style box instead of the original style.

{{-}}
[[Image:Premium movie OP.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Cyclonus (G1)|Bunny-ears]] Prime.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

: The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a retool and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is...unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

: Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment.

*'''Optimus Prime Battle Mode''' (Leader Class, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

* '''Power Hook Optimus Prime''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' 1 Missile

:[[Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe-class made for children of younger ages than the rest of the mainline and were designed to have quick conversion and action feature. He has a little string attached to his missle that was tied to his "backpack" for easy storage and so the little ones wouldn't lose the missle.

:He is rather inaccurate to Optimus Prime's design.

**''Accessories:'' 1 gun, 1 Missile

: This Wal*Mart-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] two-pack contains the ''Fast Action Battler'' Power Hook Optimus Prime toy, designated "2007 Optimus Prime", and the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] toy from ''The Ultimate Battle'' DVD two-pack. Both toys are identical to their normal individual releases.

: For some reason the ''Classics'' Optimus toy is designated "1984 Optimus Prime" on the packaging, even though it was released in 2006... but, well, he ''looks'' like Prime from '84, so hey, what the hell.

**''Accessories:'' 1 Missile

: Fire Blast Optimus Prime is a [[Redeco|redeco]] of the previously released Power Hook Optimus Prime fast action battler. The color scheme is loosely based upon ''Generation 1'' [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], explained rather oddly in the card bio as being the camouflage Optimus took while hunting Decepticons on Mars post-movie. ...Because there are so many longnose cabs driving around Mars. Yeah.

====Cyber Slammers toys====
[[Image:Movie_CyberSlammers_Prime_toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: [[Cyber Slammer]]s Optimus Prime is an amazingly cute truck that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode. Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie! Like most Cyber Slammers, Prime manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

:[[Cyber Stompin' Robots|Cyberstompin']] Optimus Prime is a non-convertible action figure made for younger children. He has light-up eyes, sounds, a launching fist feature and a "targeting scope" in his back. The scope worked similarly to a ''View Master'', and when you look through the scope, you see an image of Megatron.

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Optimusprimemovierobotreplicas.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Sword attachment arm sadly not included.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster arm

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Optimus is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with his hand-cannon... or bits from other Robot Replicas.

*'''Megatron vs. Optimus Prime''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

: This [[Walmart]]-exclusive two-pack includes "battle-damaged" redecos of Robot Replicas Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

{{-}}

====Trans-Scanning====
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan|Trans-scanning]] Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[Protoform|protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

{{-}}
====Other toys====
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cake topper, 2007)

: Yes, a cake topper. This toy was only available by purchasing a ''Transformers''-brand cake (or set of 24 cupcakes) with delicious blue-and-red flame-pattern frosting. The toy transforms from semi cab to robot.

{{-}}
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Spychanger, 2007)

:This toy is a redeco of ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Spychanger [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], painted to resemble ''Movie'' Optimus Prime. Of note is the [[Tampograph|tampographed]] detailing on his chest resembling ''Movie'' Prime's distinctive chest design. He was only available exclusively in Japan with a pre-order for the ''[[Transformers (2007)|Transformers]]'' DVD and HD-DVD.

====Micro IR ''Transformers'' Cars====
[[Image:Movie OptimusPrime MicroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|That gun doesn't look very safe...]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2007)

: Made under license by [[RadioShack]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Optimus Prime's signature colors, gives you control of the truck with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a truck styled after the Movie character, it also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote serves as a display stand, though the gun itself can't stand freely. The tip of the gun can also unscrews to reveal a hidden ball-point pen.

===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Prime.jpg|right|130px|thumb|"Groovy!"]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.

: Partially constructed of die-cast metal, this small three inch figurine of Optimus Prime has a CGI-accurate sculpt compared to the larger toys, owing to the fact it does not need to transform at all. He is sculpted with his Ion Blaster in his right fist, and is articulated at the neck, shoulders and waist. He comes with a small movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime 3-Pack''' (3" Robot Masters multi-pack, 2007)

: This Target-exclusive set contains the normal 3" [[Titanium Series]] Optimus Prime figurine (see above), a Protoform Optimus Prime figurine, and Optimus Prime in his Earth-mode truck form, making this the first time a character has appeared in their alternate mode as part of the Robot Masters sub-series.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
[[Image:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy.

: The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: During the May 30 launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event.

: A "Battle Damaged" variant featured in the second wave of EZ Collection (the Japanese name for Legends class toys), with more elaborate, weathered paint applications.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot sigil on the side of the truck's bunk, and Chinese characters on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General" while "大将" means "Grand general".

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles, jet booster/gun platform/armor, gun, & sword

:This version of Voyager Optimus comes with a HUGE booster for his truck mode representing what's left of Jetfire. The booster can be tranformed into a gun platform or fairly movie-accurate armor with a large gun and sword both his smokestake rifles can mount on. Optimus himself has been redecoed to a movie accurate look, but it's unknown if he's been retooled to use his repurposed corpse armor.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime. While striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime is so complex, even the instructions won't help. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises. Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy. Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[Image:ROTF_Leader_Jetfire_PowerUpPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who's your daddy? He is.]]

:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class Jetfire to form his super mode by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release.

:The [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps.

*'''Limited Edition Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)

:This release of Optimus Prime was available at the May 23, 2009 midnight launch of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline at the [[Shanghai]] Toys 'R' Us. Limited to 576 pieces, this piece was presented in a wooden box with a numbered certificate, Autobot sigil dog tag, and of course, the leader class Optimus Prime toy. The toy itself was unchanged.

*'''Optimus Prime Black Version''' (Leader, 2009)

[[Image:ROTF_Leader_OptimusPrime_BlackVersion.jpg|thumb|right|300px|It's like Optimus and The Fallen had some illegitimate love child.....]]

:An [[exclusive]] to Amazon.co.jp bundled with the Japanese release of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD, this redeco of Optimus Prime is another in a long line of [[Black repaint|black repaints]], swapping most of his red and blue plastic for black, some of his bright grey plastic for a cool grey and blue, covered with gold and silver flames. His orange blades are now translucent blue. Despite being a black repaint, the figure's color scheme homages Leader class Jetfire rather than any previous black Optimus Prime figure.

:TakaraTomy improved upon the original Leader-class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

*'''Buster Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)

**''Accessories:'' 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]

:This version of Leader-class Optimus Prime features a new lower face sculpt that lacks a [[faceplate]], as well as the replacement of his fuel tank/exhaust assemblies with new, transforming versions that can combine into his ion blaster/barrage cannon. To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime's appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[ILM]]'s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons. The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.

* '''Jetfire''' / '''Buster Optimus Prime''' (Leader 2-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market [[exclusive]] Leader-class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and an altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but has a head with a faceplate, unlike the standalone Buster Prime. This head contains more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

*'''Optimus Prime Voice Changer''' (2007)

:A highly CG-accurate sculpt of Optimus Prime's head with a built in voice-changer. It also has several sound effects and quotes from the movie. The voice-changer has three settings, giving more accurate alteration of the user's voice (though this is still debatable; most voice changing technology is pretty crummy, at least in toys). Much like the Ultimate Bumblebee figure, this toy will hate your wallet too. While it only costs 30 bucks, if it's anything like another Hasbro voice changer, it will suck batteries up like they were [[Energon Cube|some kind of square candy holder.]]

: There are two versions of the voice changer helmet with two different pre-recorded voices. An earlier release features the voice of [[Ron Hayden]], while the later release features the voice of [[Peter Cullen]].

By simply placing your hand inside the back of the trailer (I need an adult!) and pulling back on the front of the truck, the gun transforms and folds back into a weapon. It comes with three [[Nerf]] N-Strike size whistle darts which can be stored inside the trailer. Although not shown in the image, the truck front splits in half in gun-mode, while the grille acts as a sight. This toy was marketed as 'Optimus Prime Big Rig Blaster' overseas.

===Burger King===
[[Image:MovieMerchandise-BurgerKingOptimus.jpg|right|thumb|200px|]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2007)
:The BK tie-in toy of Optimus Prime is essentially two toys in one. The first part of the toy consists of two truck halves, which snap together around a sculpted robot-mode Optimus Prime. The truck is squat and primarily blue, with outbursts of chalk-gray paint and red flames. Pulling back and letting go activates the gimmick: Prime "drives" forward and bursts from the truck mode, "transformed" to robot mode. This gimmick has marginal success.

:The "robot mode" of Optimus Prime is where the pullback motor and working wheels of the toys lie. Optimus is sculpted in blue plastic, pre-posed in an odd, crouching position with zero points of articulation. His right knee is bent back, with his right arm touching his knee, while the left side has the leg forward and the left hand holding onto his butt. The toy is as sparsely painted as the truck, with light blue eyes and chest windows, gray hands and feet among other parts, and red forearms. Two panels on his back have red flame tongues on them. He looks like he's scratching his butt.

*'''Ultimate Prime''' (2009)
:This small statuette of Optimus comes with a Blackbird plane representing Jetfire's alternate mode.

Devastator (ROTF)

2010-03-19T15:24:48Z

Pich Black: /* Legends Class toys */

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
{{disambig3|Devastator}}

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

[[Image:ROTF_Devastator_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|[[City of Steel|King Kong]] ain't got nothin' on me!]]

Whether he's formed from six, seven, or even nine [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s, '''Devastator''' is a giant among giants. He is in fact so huge that his body simply cannot support itself when carrying his weight upright, forcing him to lumber on all fours.

Devastator is a tormented being, his very formation wracking his component Constructicons with pain and stressing them to the breaking point both physically and mentally. The imperfect fusion process produces a mind that's very much less than the sum of its parts; rage and pain are all he knows, pushing aside whatever intelligence he might possess. Devastator relies on almost pure instinct in battle.

Devastator is named after [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] unwithstandable and terrifyingly destructive [[Devastator Winds]], due to his intimidating strength. Devastator can also create powerful gravity wells by generating an artificial [[black hole]] with his [[Vortex Grinder]], located in his mouth.<ref>Devastator's [http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Battle Bio] at Hasbro.com</ref> Nearby objects are drawn into his gaping mouth to be crushed.

Devastator is made up of:
*[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]] (torso)
*[[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] (left arm)
*[[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] (right leg)
*[[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] (head)
*[[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] (left leg)
*[[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] (right arm)
;Sometimes omitted
*[[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]] (lower waist)
*[[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|Yellow dump truck]] (left leg)
*[[Unknown Constructicon shovel|Second bulldozer]] (left hand)

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===

Devastator (the Devastator? ''A'' Devastator?) was involved in a battle with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sidewipe]], thousands of years ago. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2}}

===''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie===
:Voice actor: [[Frank Welker]] (English), [[Yasuyoshi Hara]] (Japanese)
[[Image:Devastator-ROTFvsLeoSpitz.jpg|thumb|left|300px|He's like a giant puppy! Who wants to eat you.]]

Upon arrival in [[Egypt]], the Constructicons that made up Devastator combined and attacked [[Leo Spitz]], [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. It rampaged through the construction facility, sucking up anything not anchored down, such as sand, cars, and Mudflap. Despite the powerful vacuum, Mudflap held out for a while before being sucked further in. Seeking vengeance, Skids clambered up Devastator for revenge. However, Mudflap had survived, and he blasted a hole through the giant Decepticon's head to climb out before further attacking the combiner and slowing it down.

[[Image:ROTF Devastator death.jpg|thumb|right|275px|Hi ho, hi ho-HOLY SLAG!]]

[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] yelled Devastator's name from atop the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his turbine breath to suck up the stones that hid the [[solar harvester]] inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental [[rail gun]], which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at [[Hoover Dam]]. The gun's projectile hit Devastator, blasting off an arm and making him lose his balance, causing him to shatter into many pieces as his body tumbled down the pyramid. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], the Decepticons' ultimate weapon, Devastator, was unleashed upon [[Cairo]]. [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]'s [[NEST]] forces as well as the local military were unable to hold back the titanic Decepticon, and were relegated to a supporting role once the Autobots arrived in the city. However, NEST helicopters provided invaluable assistance by laser-painting critical weapons subsystems for the Autobots to attack, such as his back-mounted missile launchers, his hip-mounted cannons and his arm-mounted guns, before they could attack his head-mounted armored node. Once the node was breached, Devastator collapsed in the streets of Cairo. {{Storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

==Toys==
===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Devastator ezcollectiondx.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The one you will actually buy.]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends, 2009)

:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme class Devastator toy, the Legends class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, Devastator will be available as a store-[[exclusive]] set, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support". In the United States and in Canada, the exclusive lies with [[Walmart]]. In the United Kingdom, the set is (to date) only available through Argos.

:In [[Japan]] the Constructicon team members are available individually. Unlike the usual EZ collection toys, the Constructicons are not blind packed but packed in much the same way as Hasbro Legends class releases.

====Combiner Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Devastator combiner toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Actually movie accurate... [[Overload (ROTF)|NOT.]]]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''

:Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance(from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around.

[[Image:ROTF_Supreme_Devastator_japanese.jpg|thumb|left|150px|You've got red on you.]]

:The toy's electronics are all in the Mixmaster component. Pressing the button makes Devastator's mouth open and activates voice clips and engine sounds, as well as green lights in his mouth and eyes. Pressing the button for a few seconds activates his "Vortex grinder". However, the button trigger is so sensitive that he ''never shuts up''. In Devastator mode, his mouth can be locked into the open position by clicking his lower jaw sections into the large tank treads that form his shoulders. His mouth is enormous, and it lights up all pretty and green. He can easily swallow any Legends-class toy and spit it out the other side by opening up the back of his head. Covering Devastator's head when separating him from the torso and turning him back into Mixmaster's vehicle mode activates the transformation noise, and after that somehow makes engine stalling noises without pulling the trigger.

:Sadly, Devastator has a hard time standing on all four of his limbs, and is most stable standing on his hind legs. This is mainly because the most weight is located in the head, and his fingers are not made to hold that weight. He will also look straight to the ground unless you lock his head in place with the lower jaw.

:The Japanese [[TakaraTomy]] release of this figure has extra paint applications on Devastator's face, for a better resemblance to the final CG model.

====Mega Power Bots====
[[Image:ROTF MegaPowerBots Devastator.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Not a Power Rangers Megazord.]]
*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)

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

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

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

The wrecking ball will follow the car down the track until the tracks stop.

====Robot Heroes====
*'''Desert Devastation''' (Multi-pack, 2009)

{{quote|[[Steven Spielberg|Spielberg]] saw [Devastator] and said, 'This is (expletive) awesome!' It's always nice when you can make him swear.|[[Michael Bay]]|"[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-01-transformers-first-look_N.htm First look: Robo-brawlers big, small in new 'Transformers']" in ''USA Today'' ([[April 3]], [[2009]])}}

[[Image:ROTF Devastator and components concept art.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Six?! What happened to seven?!" "Just kidding."]]
* In the film, none of Devastator's components are shown as individual Transformers. This might vaguely justify why the components of his Supreme class toy lack individual robot modes.

* Devastator's final CGI head differed from that used for his promotional images, including more red panels and several pulleys and wires, four highly pronounced horns, and a trio of throat gears lit like a furnace, instead of a single, complex vortex machine that is lit green like his eyes.

* In the film, there are ''nine'' vehicles that form Devastator! A [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|yellow bulldozer]] is seen unfolding and is then scooped up by Devastator's left arm, which has been formed by Hightower. Another [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] lines up next to Rampage and helps him form the leg. This means two things: It explains why Devastator's left arm has scoops on it while Hightower's vehicle mode has no such equipment, and also why none of the Devastator toys are movie-accurate.
** Hasbro's [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|''official'' line]] is that there are seven Constructicons that form Devastator.

* Devastator is made up of 52,632 geometric pieces and 11,716,127 polygons. The total length of all the pieces is 13.84 miles. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>

* Devastator's got [[Humanization#Questionable body parts|brass balls]]. Exactly ''how'' is pretty questionable; even the crane Hightower would only have one wrecking ball as a counterweight. When Hasbro was asked if there ever will be a Devastator toy with wrecking balls, they replied straight out "no".

:* The Devastator Showdown track set does, however, feature one wrecking ball that chases cars down the track. Hmmm.

* According to [[Shawn Kelly]], the [[ILM]] lead animator for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Devastator caused a computer to catch fire spontaneously and its insides to melt. <ref>''Nickelodeon Magazine'', issue 153, published June 2009</ref> One assumes he was exaggerating for the purposes of publicity, as it is improbable for modern computers to actually catch fire under operations for which they are designed, such as rendering an extremely complex model. The special features on the DVD do (indirectly) show one of the computers blowing, with lots of black smoke and the poor animator (and his keyboard) covered in soot. (This was all done as a prank, leading to said animator asking "What the hell, man?") Not quite melting, but still.

*Interestingly, despite the supreme class toy being formed from vehicles similar to his [[Devastator (G1)|''Generation 1'' counterpart]] (dump truck, bulldozer, front end loader, crane, excavator, mixing truck), none of them form the same component in both versions.

*In [[Transformers Generations 2009]], volume 3, a very early Devastator mock-up is pictured that places more emphasis on height than width (being rather creepily lanky) and includes among other things, a [[Blackout (Movie)|Sikorsky]] helicopter as a component. It was [[kitbash]]ed together from various figures from other lines, including some from Spawn and Kamen Rider.

* Massive Black's concept art is totally different from the film version: a red mining truck forms the torso, an excavator and timber harvester form the arms, and the legs are formed by a military plow and bulldozer. The resulting robot is human in posture.<ref>[http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2483869&postcount=2179 Massive Black post of their ROTF concept art]</ref>

*Devastator has a [[tongue]], which is cool and disturbing-looking at the same time.

*According to a [[catalog]] included with ROTF toys, the ONLY way for the Autobots to defeat Devastator is by combining Optimus Prime and Jetfire.

*Given that the film establishes multiple sets of Constructicons, it seems entirely possible that more than one "Devastator" could be formed.

*Devastator was in an early draft of [[Reign of Starscream]], but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559]</ref>

Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys

2010-03-18T18:06:02Z

Pich Black: /* Voyager Class toys */

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a couple of movies that made millions of dollars. Woohoo!

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader.) This is excluding his Cyber Stomper and transformable gun toys.

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Prime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Shortening the smokestacks is good; [[For safety reasons|it makes the toy safer]]. But removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in robot mode. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's vehicle mode, aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[Ball joint|ball joints]].

{{-}}
[[Image:TargetGenerationsLegends.jpg|right|thumb|150px|"Say, have we met?" "No, I'm not from around here." "I can tell. You look ''way'' more realistic than I do."]]
*'''Generations Legends''' (Target exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Target exclusive, this four-pack of Legends Class figures contains two versions of both Optimus Prime and Megatron, namely [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime]], Movie Legends Optimus Prime, [[Megatron (Armada)/toys|Legends of Cybertron Megatron]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Movie Legends Megatron]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Get ready for the safety recall, folks.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys'R'Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of Optimus Prime, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].
{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:In robot mode he resembles previous Optimus characters: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth. While an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble says "Exclusive movie poster!", it is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

:This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as a [[Optimus Prime's ancestor|member]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] in [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]].

{{-}}
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[E-Hobby|e-Hobby]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

{{-}}
*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (multi-pack, UK 2007)

:This three-pack, which was available at general retail in the United Kingdom, contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Protoform Optimus Prime together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a...gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg into his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

[[Image:Movie Robovision OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|We'd hate to see what those smokestacks looked like BEFORE Hasbro shortened them.]]
*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

:This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)

:A two-pack, exclusiveliy available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager Class Optimus Prime and an equally unchanged Deluxe Class Concept Camaro [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]].

{{-}}
*'''Battle damage three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive three-pack, 2007)

:A three-pack, exclusive to Sam's Club stores, consisting of redecos of Voyager Class Optimus Prime and Deluxe Class [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], both with a battle damage deco, and an unchanged Voyager Class [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Voyager Firststrike OptimusPrime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Think the [[Geewun|Geewunners]] will shut up now?]]
*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is a extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the transformation scheme, this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

{{-}}
*'''Autobot Optimus Prime''' ("international market" exclusive Voyager-sized toy, 2008)

:A single-packed version of the battle damaged Voyager Optimus Prime toy from the Sam's Club exclusive three-pack. Although the assortment number and the general packaging style seemed to indicate that this might be a Best Buy exclusive, this has been confirmed to be an "international market" exclusive. It has been released in Asia, but will presumably not be available in the USA outside the Sam's Club three-pack.

{{-}}
*'''Freeway Brawl Optimus Prime (Two-Pack)''' ("Screen Battles" Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A second Target-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the grey molded pieces now are beige-grey and multiple parts that previously molded blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped with extra [[Paint operation|paint applications]] to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the mold. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]].

{{-}}
====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:MovieLeader OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Y'think Prime got a makeover? We have it on good authority that Movie [[Roller]] is a kicked-out low-rider with a jammin' sound system and neon-purple undercarriage lighting.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The largest 2007 ''Transformers'' movie Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His Ion Blaster weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel (known among fans as a 'hitch') is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

: Featuring a complex transformation, essentially the front and back ends of the truck fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints and ankles. Again, unusually for a mainline figure, especially at the Leader price point, his hands have individually articulated fingers and thumbs.

*'''Optimus Prime bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:A Costco exclusive special pack of Leader Class Optimus Prime with Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] as bonus figures. All three toys are unchanged from their respective original releases.

[[Image:Movie G4Contest Chrome OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|250px|Completists, eat your heart out!]]
*'''Chrome Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: Two custom-made pieces (presented in robot and vehicle mode) by the [[Hasbro]] ''Transformers'' team as the grand prize for G4TV and [http://www.jumpcut.com Jumpcut]'s contest for fans to remix selected Transformers clips. Won by [http://www.TFW2005.com/ TFW2005.com] member James Zahn, this one-of-a-kind (well, two-of-a-kind) piece is an almost fully [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] Leader-class Optimus Prime in red, silver and blue (based heavily upon Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]), presented with a custom display base with an embossed silver Autobot insignia and a perspex display case.

:It is certainly one of the rarest Transformers toys ever, and unless you are James, you will never own one.

[[Image:Movie Leader Nightwatch OptimusPrime 2007.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Either this is [[Ultra Magnus (disambiguation)|Ultra Magnus]] or [[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]].]]
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.

: This version was released in the UK several months before the ''AllSpark Power'' version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design. This version was also released by TakaraTomy in Japan.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Leader Nightwatch OptimusPrime 2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Ultra Prime or Nemesis Magnus?]]
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, USA 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.

: Another difference is that this version comes in an ''AllSpark Power''-style box instead of the original style.

{{-}}
[[Image:Premium movie OP.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Cyclonus (G1)|Bunny-ears]] Prime.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

: The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a retool and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is...unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

: Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment.

[[Image:Movie Leader OptimusPrimeBattleMode.jpg|right|250px|thumb|He loves his lips so much, he won't let anyone sculpt them on his toys.]]
*'''Optimus Prime Battle Mode''' (Leader Class, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Okay mommy, me got my backback and big gun thingy. Me go to robot school now?" ]]
* '''Power Hook Optimus Prime''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' 1 Missile

:[[Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe-class made for children of younger ages than the rest of the mainline and were designed to have quick conversion and action feature. He has a little string attached to his missle that was tied to his "backpack" for easy storage and so the little ones wouldn't lose the missle.

:He is rather inaccurate to Optimus Prime's design.

{{-}}

[[Image:Movie LeaderfortheAges 2pack.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The more things change, the more they, uh, get bigger guns.]]
* '''Leader for the Ages''' (Wal*Mart exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 gun, 1 Missile

: This Wal*Mart-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] two-pack contains the ''Fast Action Battler'' Power Hook Optimus Prime toy, designated "2007 Optimus Prime", and the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] toy from ''The Ultimate Battle'' DVD two-pack. Both toys are identical to their normal individual releases.

: For some reason the ''Classics'' Optimus toy is designated "1984 Optimus Prime" on the packaging, even though it was released in 2006... but, well, he ''looks'' like Prime from '84, so hey, what the hell.

{{-}}
[[Image:Mov2007-toy FAB FireBlastPrime.JPG|right|250px|thumb|[[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus]], is that you?]]
*'''Fire Blast Optimus Prime''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 1 Missile

: Fire Blast Optimus Prime is a [[Redeco|redeco]] of the previously released Power Hook Optimus Prime fast action battler. The color scheme is loosely based upon ''Generation 1'' [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], explained rather oddly in the card bio as being the camouflage Optimus took while hunting Decepticons on Mars post-movie. ...Because there are so many longnose cabs driving around Mars. Yeah.

{{-}}

====Cyber Slammers toys====
[[Image:Movie_CyberSlammers_Prime_toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: [[Cyber Slammer]]s Optimus Prime is an amazingly cute truck that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode. Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie! Like most Cyber Slammers, Prime manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

{{-}}
====Cyber Stompin' Robots====
[[Image:Movie Cyberstompin Prime toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Rescue Heroes!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Stompin' Robot, 2007)

:[[Cyber Stompin' Robots|Cyberstompin']] Optimus Prime is a non-convertible action figure made for younger children. He has light-up eyes, sounds, a launching fist feature and a "targeting scope" in his back. The scope worked similarly to a ''View Master'', and when you look through the scope, you see an image of Megatron.

{{-}}

====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Optimusprimemovierobotreplicas.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Sword attachment arm sadly not included.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster arm

: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Optimus is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with his hand-cannon... or bits from other Robot Replicas.

*'''Megatron vs. Optimus Prime''' (Multi-pack, 2007)

: This [[Walmart]]-exclusive two-pack includes "battle-damaged" redecos of Robot Replicas Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]].

{{-}}

====Trans-Scanning====
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan|Trans-scanning]] Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[Protoform|protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

{{-}}
====Other toys====
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cake topper, 2007)

: Yes, a cake topper. This toy was only available by purchasing a ''Transformers''-brand cake (or set of 24 cupcakes) with delicious blue-and-red flame-pattern frosting. The toy transforms from semi cab to robot.

{{-}}
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Spychanger, 2007)

:This toy is a redeco of ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Spychanger [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], painted to resemble ''Movie'' Optimus Prime. Of note is the [[Tampograph|tampographed]] detailing on his chest resembling ''Movie'' Prime's distinctive chest design. He was only available exclusively in Japan with a pre-order for the ''[[Transformers (2007)|Transformers]]'' DVD and HD-DVD.

{{-}}
====Micro IR ''Transformers'' Cars====
[[Image:Movie OptimusPrime MicroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|That gun doesn't look very safe...]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2007)

: Made under license by [[RadioShack]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Optimus Prime's signature colors, gives you control of the truck with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a truck styled after the Movie character, it also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote serves as a display stand, though the gun itself can't stand freely. The tip of the gun can also unscrews to reveal a hidden ball-point pen.

{{-}}
===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Prime.jpg|right|130px|thumb|"Groovy!"]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.

: Partially constructed of die-cast metal, this small three inch figurine of Optimus Prime has a CGI-accurate sculpt compared to the larger toys, owing to the fact it does not need to transform at all. He is sculpted with his Ion Blaster in his right fist, and is articulated at the neck, shoulders and waist. He comes with a small movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime 3-Pack''' (3" Robot Masters multi-pack, 2007)

: This Target-exclusive set contains the normal 3" [[Titanium Series]] Optimus Prime figurine (see above), a Protoform Optimus Prime figurine, and Optimus Prime in his Earth-mode truck form, making this the first time a character has appeared in their alternate mode as part of the Robot Masters sub-series.

{{-}}
===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Legends OptimusPrime.jpg|right|200px|thumb|AT LAST! Two smokestacks!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
[[Image:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy.

: The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]]. For some reason, this isn't mentioned in the instructions, though they're hardly needed.

: During the May 30 launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event.

: A "Battle Damaged" variant featured in the second wave of EZ Collection (the Japanese name for Legends class toys), with more elaborate, weathered paint applications.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot sigil on the side of the truck's bunk, and Chinese characters on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai General" while "大将" means "Grand general".

:This version of Voyager Optimus comes with a HUGE booster for his truck mode representing what's left of Jetfire. The booster can be tranformed into a gun platform or fairly movie-accurate armor with a large gun and sword both his smokestake rifles can mount on. Optimus himself has been redecoed to a movie accurate look, but it's unknown if he's been retooled to use his repurposed corpse armor.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader-class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader-class Optimus Prime. While striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime is so complex, even the instructions won't help. Transforming him back into a truck is probably more complicated than shown in the movie and can only be considered ''torture''. Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice. For the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the Cullen sound clip is abbreviated to just "Optimus Prime"; in some regions, including Quebec and the UK (but only after a month or two), both versions were made available. A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-idling noises. Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. The blades severely restrict Prime's arm articulation when retracted, as they get in the way of the kibble, but as there is very little one can do with Prime's arms without causing the blades to deploy, this is hardly noticeable. One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The hood halves on his arms can slide up on their hinges and the blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pulled out slightly as well for further screen accuracy. Overall, the robot mode of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' leader class Optimus Prime toy is slightly taller and considerably more athletic-looking than the 2007 ''Transformers'' Leader-class Optimus Prime toy.

[[Image:ROTF_Leader_Jetfire_PowerUpPrime_toy.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Who's your daddy? He is.]]

:Optimus Prime can also combine with Leader-class Jetfire to form his super mode by slightly transforming his backpack and feet. Sadly, this takes away from his leg articulation, because otherwise he could never support the massive backpack he has in this mode. However, fans have created alternate configurations that increase leg articulation and movie-accuracy.

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release.

:The [[instructions]] for this toy are infamous for being amazingly vague and unclear in their visual depiction of the transformation steps.

*'''Limited Edition Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)

:This release of Optimus Prime was available at the May 23, 2009 midnight launch of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline at the [[Shanghai]] Toys 'R' Us.

*'''Optimus Prime Black Version''' (Leader, 2009)

:An [[exclusive]] to Amazon.co.jp bundled with the Japanese release of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD, this redeco of Optimus Prime is another in a long line of [[Black repaint|black repaints]], swapping most of his red and blue plastic for black, some of his bright grey plastic for a cool grey and blue, covered with gold and silver flames. His orange blades are now translucent blue. Despite being a black repaint, the figure's color scheme homages Leader class Jetfire rather than any previous black Optimus Prime figure.

:TakaraTomy improved upon the original Leader-class Optimus Prime instruction sheet by including supplementary photographed steps that were previously vague or neglected in the original release.

*'''Buster Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)

**''Accessories:'' 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]

:This version of Leader-class Optimus Prime features a new lower face sculpt that lacks a [[faceplate]], as well as the replacement of his fuel tank/exhaust assemblies with new, transforming versions that can combine into his ion blaster/barrage cannon. To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader-class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime's appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint or chrome, expanding and outlining all of the flame tampographs white for greater accuracy to [[ILM]]'s computer model, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to cost-cutting reasons. The red and blue plastic colors also vary from the original release, to better match his film appearance.

* '''Jetfire''' / '''Buster Optimus Prime''' (Leader 2-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:'' 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]

:This [[TakaraTomy]] Asian market [[exclusive]] Leader-class two-pack consists of a redecoed [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]] and an altered Buster Optimus Prime. Buster Optimus Prime is almost identical to the single-pack Japanese release of the toy, but has a head with a faceplate, unlike the standalone Buster Prime. This head contains more paint details than the first release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader-class Optimus Prime. The flames are outlined with light blue instead of white for accuracy to the physical truck prop (though it ends up being inaccurate in robot mode). Jetfire has a subtle, more [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] colour scheme.

*'''Optimus Prime Voice Changer''' (2007)

:A highly CG-accurate sculpt of Optimus Prime's head with a built in voice-changer. It also has several sound effects and quotes from the movie. The voice-changer has three settings, giving more accurate alteration of the user's voice (though this is still debatable; most voice changing technology is pretty crummy, at least in toys). Much like the Ultimate Bumblebee figure, this toy will hate your wallet too. While it only costs 30 bucks, if it's anything like another Hasbro voice changer, it will suck batteries up like they were [[Energon Cube|some kind of square candy holder.]]

: There are two versions of the voice changer helmet with two different pre-recorded voices. An earlier release features the voice of [[Ron Hayden]], while the later release features the voice of [[Peter Cullen]].

By simply placing your hand inside the back of the trailer (I need an adult!) and pulling back on the front of the truck, the gun transforms and folds back into a weapon. It comes with three [[Nerf]] N-Strike size whistle darts which can be stored inside the trailer. Although not shown in the image, the truck front splits in half in gun-mode, while the grille acts as a sight. This toy was marketed as 'Optimus Prime Big Rig Blaster' overseas.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2007)
:The BK tie-in toy of Optimus Prime is essentially two toys in one. The first part of the toy consists of two truck halves, which snap together around a sculpted robot-mode Optimus Prime. The truck is squat and primarily blue, with outbursts of chalk-gray paint and red flames. Pulling back and letting go activates the gimmick: Prime "drives" forward and bursts from the truck mode, "transformed" to robot mode. This gimmick has marginal success.

:The "robot mode" of Optimus Prime is where the pullback motor and working wheels of the toys lie. Optimus is sculpted in blue plastic, pre-posed in an odd, crouching position with zero points of articulation. His right knee is bent back, with his right arm touching his knee, while the left side has the leg forward and the left hand holding onto his butt. The toy is as sparsely painted as the truck, with light blue eyes and chest windows, gray hands and feet among other parts, and red forearms. Two panels on his back have red flame tongues on them. He looks like he's scratching his butt.

Power Core Combiners

2010-03-04T19:42:38Z

Pich Black:

'''Power Core Combiners''' is a brand new franchise that is, thus far, ambiguous towards its [[continuity]] affilliation. Power Core Combiners use (duh) combining as the major [[Gimmick| gimmick]]. The toy line consists of two major size classes: 2 Packs ([[Commander (PCC)| Commanders]] with [[Mini-Con|Mini-Cons]]) and 5 Packs (Commanders with four [[Drone| drones]] each).

Commanders are able to combine with any of the drones included with 5-packs. You can mix and match the drones, since they have universal pegs like Scramble City-type combiners. Each drone is a vehicle that turns into a limb (no robot modes, similar to ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus']]s toy). Plugging the vehicle in causes the drone to [[Automorph Technology| automorph]] into a limb. Unplugging it causes the limb to—what else?—transform back into a vehicle.

Instead of becoming miniature vehicles, the line's accompanying Mini-Cons have multiple modes that revolve around interacting with a Commander. Besides a small robot mode, these Mini-Cons can also become armor for their Commanders, and different weapons or tools for their Commander's robot and vehicle modes.

==Fiction==

====Commander 2-packs====
Every Commander figure has two heads—one for robot mode, one for torso mode. Each Commander's torso mode can combine with 5-pack drones (see below), and each set includes a unique Mini-Con. Commanders also have standard Mini-Con ports, so they are compatible with any Mini-Cons, not just the transparent, [[neon]]-colored new ones.
* [[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]] (semi cab) and [[Caliburst (PCC)|Caliburst]]
* [[Smolder]] (fire department brush truck) and [[Chopster]] (axe)

* [[Leadfoot (PCC)|Leadfoot]] (F1 racer) and [[Pinpoint]]
* [[Sledge (PCC)|Sledge]] (construction vehicle) and [[Throttler]] (drill)

====5-packs====
1 core robot/vehicle & 4 drone-vehicle limbs. Drones can attach to any Commander 2-pack bot to make new combinations. Arm-drones and leg-drones cannot swap functions. The drones have an [[Automorph Technology| automatic]] "deploy" transformation when they attach, and an automatic retract feature to vehicle mode when detached. Each drone has Mini-Con powerlinx hardpoints.

'''Blazemaster''' is thought by many of his Autobot comrades to be haywire. He will fly over Decepticons, intentionally alerting them of his presence. Once that's done, he starts dropping corrosive gel on them, watching as they run for their lives.

He transforms into a Channel 7 news copter.

*'''Blazemaster''' (2009)
Losing paint applications for cost reduction is nothing new, but Blazemaster stands out. Except for his chest and head, every part not seen in helicopter mode (and even some that are) has no paint or use of a blending base color, revealing a great deal of bare white plastic. His head is still painted, but strangely reversed; instead of a gold head with a blue face mask, Blazemaster now has a gold mask painted on a head of blue plastic. Despite the drastic changes, the packaging art and toy pictures both reflect the non-retail painting.

==Trivia==
* The only U.S. television station using the "Channel 7 Action News" name is [[wikipedia:WXYZ-TV|WXYZ-TV]] in [[Detroit]]. No word on if their traffic copter is ''actually'' a pyromaniac space robot.

[[Image:HardH.gif|right|274px|thumb|No, my toy's head looks nothing remotely like this, why do you ask?]]
'''Hardhead''' is a soldier to his core. A soldier with a stubborn streak a [[megamile]] wide. He's stubborn to the point of rejecting outright any path but his own, any idea that goes against his natural instinct or inclination (namely fighting), and any advice he didn't come up with himself. He doesn't talk much, and when he does, it tends to be blunt and terse, if not outright rude. A soldier doesn't waste time on social niceties when there's a war to fight.

Perhaps surprisingly, given his limited social aptitude, Hardhead has found a good companion in [[Duros]], his [[Binary bonding|binary-bonded]] [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] partner, who enjoys warfare just as much as Hardhead does. The two mesh so well, it's been said that theirs may be the best match among all the Autobot-Nebulan teams.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}

A long time ago, on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Hardhead was part of an Autobot strike unit led by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. This unit operated out of a cave dug into the [[Manganese Mountains]], and often worked to foil the schemes of their primary nemesis, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Their last major mission on Cybertron was to upset a slave march to the [[Smelting pool|smelting pools]]. After that, however, Fortress Maximus revealed to the Autobots that he had grown sick of warfare, and planned to escape the endless ring of hate by immigrating to a new world altogether: [[Nebulos]]. Initially, Hardhead was outraged and accused Maximus of cowardice for even conceiving of leaving the war before it was finished, but he was quickly chastized when [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] reminded him of how valiantly their leader had fought on the battlefield that day, and every day prior for countless [[Vorn|vorns]]. With some convincing, Hardhead and many others chose to join Fortress Maximus on his quest for peace. Peace is rarely an Autobot's lot, though, as an innocent mishap combined with some xenophobia among a few of the Nebulan rulers to bring war to the Autobot camp's doorstep. Hardened warriors like Hardhead and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] immediately fell into old habits and started fighting back, but Fortress Maximus abruptly ended their gunplay and ordered an all-out retreat.

Despite these setbacks, Fortress Maximus was determined to wage peace, not war. He brought an envoy of Autobots, including Hardhead, to the Nebulan capitol of [[Koraja]] to once again plead for peace. When the Nebulans still were not totally swayed after he and his Autobots disarmed, Maximus removed his own head from his shoulders, leaving his body deactivated and inoperable in the Nebulans' care. Hardhead and three other Autobots joined their leader in his gesture. It was this gesture which finally ushered in a cease fire with the Nebulans. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

Fortress Maximus, Hardhead and the others had their separate heads and bodies detained inside a bunker outside Koraja, as so-called "prisoners of peace", while the Nebulan leaders conversed with them and also the remaining Autobots (under Kup's supervision) in the [[Folassian Forest]] beyond the city. Maximus had successfully convinced [[Galen]], head of the [[World Watchers]], of his good intentions, but the paranoid [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Lord Zarak]] distrusted the Autobots at every turn, and was committed to removing them from Nebulos even if he had to fake their crimes in order to do it. He even went so far as to summon the Decepticons to Nebulos, hoping that they would rid the planet of their Autobot problem. (So he's not that bright. Give him a break, he's in politics!)

The Decepticon arrival was everything you would expect, as Scorponok and his henchmen began to lay siege to Koraja, trying to get at the inoperative Fortress Maximus and his men. Galen and Council Guard Commander [[Duros]] arrived at the Autobots' bunker to rapidly consult them on options. Several potential strategies were discarded in short order, and the allies finally settled on a radical solution involving bio-mechanical engineering -- Galen and several other volunteers were bionically reconstructed to transform into duplicates of the Autobots' severed heads, allowing them to [[binary bond]] with the Autobots' bodies and share both physical control and tactical analysis with the original Autobot personalities. Duros was one of the first volunteers for the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process, and was binary bonded to Hardhead. Duros quickly adjusted to the raw power and military might of his new body, using Hardhead's laser-guided cannon against the Decepticon aggressors. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

Their status as the saviors of Koraja made Duros and the others an instant hit among the populace, but Nebulos's rulers were still wary of the Transformers, especially now that their presence had led Nebulans themselves to wage war for the first time in over 10,000 years. Galen and his men did their best to assuage the fears of the [[Council of Peers]]. When the [[Horrorcon|Horrorcons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] attacked the [[Splendora]] resort, Hardhead and [[Brainstorm]] joined their Autobot comrades, the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], in fending off [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and zapping [[Apeface]] and [[Snapdragon]] into submission. The devastation left in the wake of their battle did little to discourage the Council's antipathy, however. When the Autobot Headmasters went on a rescue mission to recover Lord Zarak and his followers (who had been prisoners of the Decepticons since their arrival), a detachment of Council members insisted on accompanying them. Unfortunately, Zarak had entered into a bargain with Scorponok, and by the time Hardhead and the others reached the plains of [[Thok]], the Decepticon Headmasters had been born. Although Zarak / Scorponok endangered the council members by using them as a diversion to gun down the Autobots, [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s hypnotic gaze had scrambled the other Nebulans' minds so much that Zarak was able to convince them that Galen's men were the evil ones, and he manipulated the Decepticons into becoming Nebulos's new "champions". {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

Duros and the other Nebulan Headmasters were held captive by Zarak in Koraja, alongside their disabled Autobot counterparts. Despite his hunger for power and growing battle-lust, however, Zarak still ultimately wanted what was best for Nebulos. Realizing how a continued war between the Autobots and Decepticons would truly affect the planet he loved, Zarak freed Duros and the Autobot Headmasters, sending them back to their comrades in the forest. Galen had reached the same conclusions as Zarak, and gathered his men back aboard the Autobot ship ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'', to leave Nebulos behind to rebuild in their absence. Sure enough, Zarak / Scorponok and the Decepticons chose to follow the Autobots into space. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

''Before they left, however, the Autobot Headmasters had another encounter with their Decepticon opposite numbers. After the [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]] were captured by the Decepticons for analysis and dissection, Hardhead and the Headmasters went out looking for them, only to run into the Decepticon Headmasters on the way. Hardhead was nearly knocked off the road when Mindwipe's hypnotic stare sent Brainstorm crashing into him. Despite being shaken by the impact, Hardhead still managed to defeat both [[Weirdwolf]] and [[Skullcruncher]] by himself. The Autobots regrouped to follow Mindwipe, the last of their attackers, who was apparently fleeing for safety. After entering the Decepticons' [[Fortress of Despair]], however, Hardhead and the others realized they had been led into a trap, and were confronted by the might Scorponok and the Decepticon Targetmasters. In order to help even the odds, Hardhead freed the Autobot Targetmasters who were being held prisoner. With their help, the Autobots eventually overcame the Decepticons and fled back to base. {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}''

After leaving Nebulos, Hardhead and the crew of ''Steelhaven'' followed an Autobot distress call to the planet called Earth. During the long journey, they had Fortress Maximus heavily upgraded into a larger, more powerful body. Even the militaristic Duros was a bit unsettled by the new war-like outlook of their leader, Galen, but he insisted he was merely changing to fit the circumstances they had been dealt. Upon arrival, Fortress Maximus, Hardhead and the other Headmasters took a shuttle down to Earth's surface, and located the caves in [[Mount St. Hillary]] where the distress call had first been broadcast. They also found the broadcaster himself, an Autobot named [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]] whose brain module had been retrofitted into a tiny electronic toy car. [[Toy Soldiers!|Long story]]. Scorponok and the Decepticon Headmasters had also come to Earth after the distress call, however, and a battle broke out. The battle proved costly, as Galen died protecting an Earthen from Scorponok. He passed on his control helmet to this boy, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], leaving Fortress Maximus and the Autobots in his hands. It was Hardhead who first suggested that Spike was the group's new leader. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}

In the weeks that followed, ''Steelhaven's'' crew united with the other Autobots on board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. Hardhead was present on the moon when two members of the Ark's crew, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], engaged in ritual combat to settle their differences. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

[[Image:Edgeofextinction-hardheadbombburst.jpg|right|200px|thumb|That's gonna leave a mark.]]
''During the Time Wars, Hardhead was among the Autobot strike team gathered by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Grimlock and Fortress Maximus to engage [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] for the fate of two time periods, several associated planets, and the universe at large. Unfortunately, the future Autobots of 2009 arrived before the battle began, and the mass-substitution effect created by time travel shunted Hardhead into [[Limbo]] for the duration. {{storylink|Time Wars}}''

Hardhead did little of note over the following months, but he was present on Cybertron for the final united battle against [[Unicron]]. Working with the Decepticon [[Pretender]], [[Bomb-Burst]], he was in the process of moving a surface-to-air missile battery into position when Unicron touched down on the planet's surface. The Planet-Eater's massive foot indiscriminately crushed Autobot, Decepticon, and weapon flat. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

He bravely (if futilely) attacked Sixshot, along with the rest of the Autobots before being beamed back to the ''Ark-32''. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4}} Due to injuries and separate missions, Hardhead found himself to be the only active Autobot besides [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] — and neither were happy to hear that Optimus was withdrawing them from Earth to [[Garrus-9]]. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5}} Hardhead went to retrieve Hot Rod and the others, blowing up a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] that was attacking Hot Rod. Hot Rod refused to go though, wanting to see the Headmaster mystery to the end.

[[Image:SpotlightHardhead HardheadsHeadshot.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hardhead expresses his own feelings!]]
Soon, [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] discovered that he logged a message during his visit to [[Gorlam Prime]] — of which he had no recollection — and asked Hardhead for help. {{storylink|Spotlight: Cyclonus}}

Before leaving for Gorlam Prime, Nightbeat told Hardhead of his fears that he may be compromised, and that if he threatened Hardhead or anyone else, he should terminate Nightbeat. Arriving on Gorlam Prime, Nightbeat and Hardhead discovered virtually the entire planet's population had frozen in a chrysalis-like state and were in the midst of undergoing some kind of evolutionary cycle. Before they could explore further, however, they were beset upon by dozens of [[Micromaster|Micromasters]], all of whom immediately targeted Hardhead.

[[Image:Nightbeatexecuted.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Hardhead shoots his own comrades!]]
Escaping from their attackers, the two Autobots fled deep underground. Once they neared the portal to the [[Dead Universe]], [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] took remote-control of Nightbeat and tried to kill Hardhead with a point-blank shot between the optics. Fortunately, Hardhead lived up to his name and took the shot with minimal damage. As Nightbeat was joined by more Micromasters, Hardhead took the opportunity to retreat deeper into Gorlam Prime's underground caverns.

There, he discovered the portal to the Dead Universe. As the mind-controlled Nightbeat caught up with him, Hardhead realized he had nowhere else to fall back to. When told to surrender, Hardhead responded by shooting Nightbeat through the head with a pinpoint shot and then plunged through the portal, ready to face whatever dangers lay on the other side. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

[[Image:DeadUniverseHardhead.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Hardhead rises from his own grave!]]
Having become a permanent resident of the [[Dead Universe]], Hardhead did not resurface until Jhiaxus' plans were well underway. However he did manage to catch the Cybertronian scientist who was fleeing the onslaught of [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. Preventing the madman's escape, he explained to the pink hyperviolent Autobot that Jhiaxus couldn't truly die here on the threshold between the material world and the Dead Universe. That suited Arcee fine, as it let her indulge her revenge fantasies to their utmost. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

A long time ago, on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Hardhead was part of an Autobot strike unit led by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. This unit operated out of a cave dug into the [[Manganese Mountains]], and often worked to foil the schemes of their primary nemesis, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Their last major mission on Cybertron was to upset a slave march to the [[Smelting pool|smelting pools]]. After that, however, Fortress Maximus revealed to the Autobots that he had grown sick of warfare, and planned to escape the endless ring of hate by immigrating to a new world altogether: [[Nebulos]]. Initially, Hardhead was outraged and accused Maximus of cowardice for even conceiving of leaving the war before it was finished, but he was quickly chastized when [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] reminded him of how valiantly their leader had fought on the battlefield that day, and every day prior for countless [[Vorn|vorns]]. With some convincing, Hardhead and many others chose to join Fortress Maximus on his quest for peace. Peace is rarely an Autobot's lot, though, as an innocent mishap combined with some xenophobia among a few of the Nebulan rulers to bring war to the Autobot camp's doorstep. Hardened warriors like Hardhead and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] immediately fell into old habits and started fighting back, but Fortress Maximus abruptly ended their gunplay and ordered an all-out retreat.

Despite these setbacks, Fortress Maximus was determined to wage peace, not war. He brought an envoy of Autobots, including Hardhead, to the Nebulan capitol of [[Koraja]] to once again plead for peace. When the Nebulans still were not totally swayed after he and his Autobots disarmed, Maximus removed his own head from his shoulders, leaving his body deactivated and inoperable in the Nebulans' care. Hardhead and three other Autobots joined their leader in his gesture. It was this gesture which finally ushered in a cease fire with the Nebulans. {{storylink|Ring of Hate!}}

Fortress Maximus, Hardhead and the others had their separate heads and bodies detained inside a bunker outside Koraja, as so-called "prisoners of peace", while the Nebulan leaders conversed with them and also the remaining Autobots (under Kup's supervision) in the [[Folassian Forest]] beyond the city. Maximus had successfully convinced [[Galen]], head of the [[World Watchers]], of his good intentions, but the paranoid [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Lord Zarak]] distrusted the Autobots at every turn, and was committed to removing them from Nebulos even if he had to fake their crimes in order to do it. He even went so far as to summon the Decepticons to Nebulos, hoping that they would rid the planet of their Autobot problem. (So he's not that bright. Give him a break, he's in politics!)

The Decepticon arrival was everything you would expect, as Scorponok and his henchmen began to lay siege to Koraja, trying to get at the inoperative Fortress Maximus and his men. Galen and Council Guard Commander [[Duros]] arrived at the Autobots' bunker to rapidly consult them on options. Several potential strategies were discarded in short order, and the allies finally settled on a radical solution involving bio-mechanical engineering -- Galen and several other volunteers were bionically reconstructed to transform into duplicates of the Autobots' severed heads, allowing them to [[binary bond]] with the Autobots' bodies and share both physical control and tactical analysis with the original Autobot personalities. Duros was one of the first volunteers for the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process, and was binary bonded to Hardhead. Duros quickly adjusted to the raw power and military might of his new body, using Hardhead's laser-guided cannon against the Decepticon aggressors. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

Their status as the saviors of Koraja made Duros and the others an instant hit among the populace, but Nebulos's rulers were still wary of the Transformers, especially now that their presence had led Nebulans themselves to wage war for the first time in over 10,000 years. Galen and his men did their best to assuage the fears of the [[Council of Peers]]. When the [[Horrorcon|Horrorcons]] and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] attacked the [[Splendora]] resort, Hardhead and [[Brainstorm]] joined their Autobot comrades, the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], in fending off [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] and zapping [[Apeface]] and [[Snapdragon]] into submission. The devastation left in the wake of their battle did little to discourage the Council's antipathy, however. When the Autobot Headmasters went on a rescue mission to recover Lord Zarak and his followers (who had been prisoners of the Decepticons since their arrival), a detachment of Council members insisted on accompanying them. Unfortunately, Zarak had entered into a bargain with Scorponok, and by the time Hardhead and the others reached the plains of [[Thok]], the Decepticon Headmasters had been born. Although Zarak / Scorponok endangered the council members by using them as a diversion to gun down the Autobots, [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s hypnotic gaze had scrambled the other Nebulans' minds so much that Zarak was able to convince them that Galen's men were the evil ones, and he manipulated the Decepticons into becoming Nebulos's new "champions". {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

Duros and the other Nebulan Headmasters were held captive by Zarak in Koraja, alongside their disabled Autobot counterparts. Despite his hunger for power and growing battle-lust, however, Zarak still ultimately wanted what was best for Nebulos. Realizing how a continued war between the Autobots and Decepticons would truly affect the planet he loved, Zarak freed Duros and the Autobot Headmasters, sending them back to their comrades in the forest. Galen had reached the same conclusions as Zarak, and gathered his men back aboard the Autobot ship ''[[Steelhaven (G1)|Steelhaven]]'', to leave Nebulos behind to rebuild in their absence. Sure enough, Zarak / Scorponok and the Decepticons chose to follow the Autobots into space. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

''Before they left, however, the Autobot Headmasters had another encounter with their Decepticon opposite numbers. After the [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]] were captured by the Decepticons for analysis and dissection, Hardhead and the Headmasters went out looking for them, only to run into the Decepticon Headmasters on the way. Hardhead was nearly knocked off the road when Mindwipe's hypnotic stare sent Brainstorm crashing into him. Despite being shaken by the impact, Hardhead still managed to defeat both [[Weirdwolf]] and [[Skullcruncher]] by himself. The Autobots regrouped to follow Mindwipe, the last of their attackers, who was apparently fleeing for safety. After entering the Decepticons' [[Fortress of Despair]], however, Hardhead and the others realized they had been led into a trap, and were confronted by the might Scorponok and the Decepticon Targetmasters. In order to help even the odds, Hardhead freed the Autobot Targetmasters who were being held prisoner. With their help, the Autobots eventually overcame the Decepticons and fled back to base. {{storylink|Worlds Apart!}}''

After leaving Nebulos, Hardhead and the crew of ''Steelhaven'' followed an Autobot distress call to the planet called Earth. During the long journey, they had Fortress Maximus heavily upgraded into a larger, more powerful body. Even the militaristic Duros was a bit unsettled by the new war-like outlook of their leader, Galen, but he insisted he was merely changing to fit the circumstances they had been dealt. Upon arrival, Fortress Maximus, Hardhead and the other Headmasters took a shuttle down to Earth's surface, and located the caves in [[Mount St. Hillary]] where the distress call had first been broadcast. They also found the broadcaster himself, an Autobot named [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]] whose brain module had been retrofitted into a tiny electronic toy car. [[Toy Soldiers!|Long story]]. Scorponok and the Decepticon Headmasters had also come to Earth after the distress call, however, and a battle broke out. The battle proved costly, as Galen died protecting an Earthen from Scorponok. He passed on his control helmet to this boy, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]], leaving Fortress Maximus and the Autobots in his hands. It was Hardhead who first suggested that Spike was the group's new leader. {{storylink|Trial by Fire!}}

In the weeks that followed, ''Steelhaven's'' crew united with the other Autobots on board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. Hardhead was present on the moon when two members of the Ark's crew, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], engaged in ritual combat to settle their differences. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

[[Image:Edgeofextinction-hardheadbombburst.jpg|right|200px|thumb|That's gonna leave a mark.]]
''During the Time Wars, Hardhead was among the Autobot strike team gathered by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Grimlock and Fortress Maximus to engage [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] for the fate of two time periods, several associated planets, and the universe at large. Unfortunately, the future Autobots of 2009 arrived before the battle began, and the mass-substitution effect created by time travel shunted Hardhead into [[Limbo]] for the duration. {{storylink|Time Wars}}''

Hardhead did little of note over the following months, but he was present on Cybertron for the final united battle against [[Unicron]]. Working with the Decepticon [[Pretender]], [[Bomb-Burst]], he was in the process of moving a surface-to-air missile battery into position when Unicron touched down on the planet's surface. The Planet-Eater's massive foot indiscriminately crushed Autobot, Decepticon, and weapon flat. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

[[Image:Devastation4 Hardhead.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Hardhead answers his own questions!]]
Prior to the [[Brasnya]] incident, Hardhead was ordered by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to [[Earth]] on the ''[[Ark-32]]'', along with [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|Escalation issue 3}} The two arrived right in the middle of the battle, although Hot Rod sped away after the [[facsimile]] before Hardhead could stop him to report their presence. He engaged in battle with [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]], {{storylink|Escalation issue 4}} causing severe damage to the shuttle [[Triple Changer]] and continued to hound him to such an extent that [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] had to call in [[Thundercracker (G1)|reinforcements]]. {{storylink|Escalation issue 5}} When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] seemingly defeated Optimus Prime, Hardhead attempted (futilely) to damage him with repeated cannon blasts. {{storylink|Escalation issue 6}}

Hardhead would eventually regroup with his teammates after the battle and was among them during [[Sixshot]]'s surprise assault on the ''[[Ark-19]]''. He bravely (if futilely) attacked Sixshot, along with the rest of the Autobots before being beamed back to the ''Ark-32''. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4}} Due to injuries and separate missions, Hardhead found himself to be the only active Autobot besides [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] — and neither were happy to hear that Optimus was withdrawing them from Earth to [[Garrus-9]]. {{storylink|Devastation issue 5}} Hardhead went to retrieve Hot Rod and the others, blowing up a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] that was attacking Hot Rod. Hot Rod refused to go though, wanting to see the Headmaster mystery to the end. Hardhead reluctantly let him go and took [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] back with him. {{storylink|Devastation issue 6}}

[[Image:SpotlightHardhead HardheadsHeadshot.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hardhead expresses his own feelings!]]
Soon, [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] discovered that he logged a message during his visit to [[Gorlam Prime]] — of which he had no recollection — and asked Hardhead for help. {{storylink|Spotlight: Cyclonus}}

Before leaving for Gorlam Prime, Nightbeat told Hardhead of his fears that he may be compromised, and that if he threatened Hardhead or anyone else, he should terminate Nightbeat. Arriving on Gorlam Prime, Nightbeat and Hardhead discovered virtually the entire planet's population had frozen in a chrysalis-like state and were in the midst of undergoing some kind of evolutionary cycle. Before they could explore further, however, they were beset upon by dozens of [[Micromaster|Micromasters]], all of whom immediately targeted Hardhead.

[[Image:Nightbeatexecuted.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Hardhead shoots his own comrades!]]
Escaping from their attackers, the two Autobots fled deep underground. Once they neared the portal to the [[Dead Universe]], [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] took remote-control of Nightbeat and tried to kill Hardhead with a point-blank shot between the optics. Fortunately, Hardhead lived up to his name and took the shot with minimal damage. As Nightbeat was joined by more Micromasters, Hardhead took the opportunity to retreat deeper into Gorlam Prime's underground caverns.

There, he discovered the portal to the Dead Universe. As the mind-controlled Nightbeat caught up with him, Hardhead realized he had nowhere else to fall back to. When told to surrender, Hardhead responded by shooting Nightbeat through the head with a pinpoint shot and then plunged through the portal, ready to face whatever dangers lay on the other side. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}}

[[Image:DeadUniverseHardhead.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Hardhead rises from his own grave!]]
Having become a permanent resident of the [[Dead Universe]], Hardhead did not resurface until Jhiaxus' plans were well underway. However he did manage to catch the Cybertronian scientist who was fleeing the onslaught of [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. Preventing the madman's escape, he explained to the pink hyperviolent Autobot that Jhiaxus couldn't truly die here on the threshold between the material world and the Dead Universe. That suited Arcee fine, as it let her indulge her revenge fantasies to their utmost. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

*'''Hardhead''' (Headmaster, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''C-102'''
**''Accessories'': "Duros" Headmaster partner "Tank Commander", 2 "Shatterblasters"

:Hardhead transforms into a Cybertronian self-propelled artillery gun. Like many Transformers of this era, he can store his rifles in 5mm peg holes in his vehicle mode, and his Headmaster partner, Duros, can ride inside his cockpit. Duros transforms into his head, which, when attached to Hardhead's robot mode, activates a simplified, spring-loaded [[Tech Spec]] meter hidden under a panel on his chest. This [[gimmick]] works with any other Headmaster "pilot" figure.

:In robot mode, Hardhead is unusually tall for a toy of his price point, as the tank basically flips on end and extends to transform. As to be expected, Hardhead has rather limited articulation.

Talk:Wheelie (ROTF)

Pich Black: /* Toy scale */

Oh ok! Sorry, this is my first page so I didnt know.

==Wheels and his deity==
Do I want to know why Wheels refers to Mikaela as "Warrior Goddess", or would I spoil myself? -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 00:33, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
:The latter. That's why the quote is '''blacked out''', because it's related to a spoiler. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 11:34, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

== Wheels vs. Wheelie ==

Okay, I assume he's "Wheels" in the coloring book, but the toy, now officially shown at BotCon, is definitely "Wheelie." Do we have more sources that name him as one than the other?--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 12:06, 30 May 2009 (EDT)
:He is unnamed in the comic adaptation. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:14, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

::All the novel adaptions call him Wheels. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 13:14, 30 May 2009 (EDT)
:::Paramount calls him Wheelie, so I have moved the article back. [http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/need-to-know-transformers-robots.html] --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:26, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

==Toy scale==
Some newbie editor wrote this in the toy section: "He's in the movie, passes for a real life RC toy, and his robot mode is one of the closest to his in-canon scale ever produced." As I recall, the on-set Wheelie radio control truck was considerably larger than the deluxe class toy. In fact, most radio control vehicles with full functions tend to be bigger than Deluxe class toys. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:31, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

:But others are about the size of a 1984 Bumblebee toy. (micro RC cars were big last x-mas.) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 14:31, 30 May 2009 (EDT)
::[http://cinematoday.jp/page/A0002228 this shows] that in the movie he's about Leader class size and thuss the deluxe is not real life scale. Also it sounds like Tom Kenny voices him as he sounds kinda like Spongebob. [[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 08:30, 11 June 2009 (EDT)
:::Yeah, that's obviously Tom Kenny, and does sound like a mix between Spongebob and [[Rattrap]]. So what do we do with the toy section notes about his size? He's not deluxe size in the movie (yeah the toy might be a centimeter taller that [[Lockdown]] but it's not that big), he looks to be coming off at about Masterpiece Prime height, maybe a little taller. How tall is Megan Fox anyways (you know, for comparisons sake)?--[[User:AWT88|AWT88]] 11:13, 11 June 2009 (EDT)
: I have restated the phrase as a observational point instead of hard fact. I had actually changed it before, but someone else quickly changed it back. Since it stayed that way for some time, I assumed the community accepted the phrasing. I admit the toy passes more for a made up micro RC toy than the actual one he assumes, but that is nonetheless suggestive of a real life RC toy in the same vein as the Real Gear Robots line. My point with the scale comment was not that it was his official scale, but that with his in fiction robot and alt modes being very small, his toy comes far closer in scale to his official size than any character that become real world vehicles, much like (as far I know) Armada Laserbeak, who became a handheld camera. --[[User:Pich Black|Pich Black]] 11:36, 11 June 2009 (EDT)

:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]], also sometimes known as the "[[Tooth Fairy]]".''

[[Image:Movie Ironhide promorender2.jpg|right|325px|thumb|A different kind of tooth fairy. He knocks them out for the one in the frilly dress to collect.]]
'''Ironhide''' is the Autobots' resident weapons specialist and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s old friend. He is old because he is ''hard''. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] in the process.

Ironhide doesn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He's perhaps the more practical of the two, and more than a little trigger happy, so he can be more willing to push the Autobot code to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.

He has more guns than [[Carbombya|a smaller third-world country]], and he may or may not have blown up a [[Kaiba-5|planet]] with said guns.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Millions of years ago, Ironhide was a captain in the Cybertronian defense force. He and commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] were to report to Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but Starscream was late due to an encounter with hostile aliens in the [[Eshems Nebula]] and Ironhide almost took off without him. Later, during an attack by the same aliens, Ironhide commanded the ground defense units in the city of [[Metrotitan (Movie)|Metrotitan]], near the [[Simfur]] temple. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] were pinned down inside the temple, they considered contacting Ironhide for suggestions on what to do. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}

After the aliens were driven out and Megatron assumed his dictatorship of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Ironhide found himself belonging to an increasingly violent and unstable military. He was present when Megatron ordered Starscream to conduct some clandestine operation of which Ironhide did not take part in. The disenchanted Ironhide turned his back on the military after Megatron's declared Optimus's faction traitors, and that the army now flew under the banner of the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

That mega-bazooka of his has been with him since he was a proto-chip. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

During the war, Ironhide ran training missions for the younger Autobot recruits. These missions would often have the recruits thrown into the sharp end: one, involving [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] and [[Skyblast (Movie)|Skyblast]], abruptly turned into a raid on a Decepticon base and rescuing [[Longview|a prisoner]]. He also developed skills at resisting psychic interrogation techniques. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

He would later be one of three Autobots who tried to prevent [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from reaching the [[All Spark]]. They hadn't, however, expected for [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to be demented enough to set off a foldspace warhead at pointblank range - a weapon that warped everyone to different parts of the galaxy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

After spending some time planet-hopping, Ironhide detected [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s homing signal and headed for it. En route, he was captured by an alien spacecraft, one that appeared to belong to immense entities that created the All Spark and wanted it back. Ironhide, shrugging off a psychic probe, worked out these entities were an illusion - the ship was a derelict that had been salvaged by a group of aquatic aliens who wanted to find & exploit the All Spark. Ironhide removed their ability to do so by taking the derelict's device that tracked down All Spark energy. While he then went on his way, he was left wondering what race had originally owned this vessel and what their connection to the All Spark was... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

[[Image:Movie TitanTransformers8 ScorpieIronhide1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ratchet was right. That tingles!]]
After meeting up with Ratchet, the two began searching for Jazz. They found he was the prisoner of a living, predatory planet; Ironhide reasoned with the planet to let their friend go (i.e. shot it repeatedly with his slag-off great cannon) and they took him back to Cybertron with them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space Part 4: Jazz}}

{{Note|The following event appears to be unique to the Titan continuity.}}

Following the [[Mission City]] battle, he worked with a United States Special Forces team to track down [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. The Decepticon led them into a trap and took control of Ironhide's motor functions, causing him to attack the humans. They attempted to fight back - oh, you know those sabot rounds that are suppose to harm Transformers? They had no effect. Luckily, one of the soldiers was able to sever Scorponok's connection before he killed them all, and Ironhide killed the Decepticon the old-fashioned way: ''brutally''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 8|Scorpion Sting}}

{{notetitantlg}}

In a reality where the Decepticons won, Ironhide was part of the Autobot resistance on Earth and was in contact with reinforcements from Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} He and Ratchet were in a mission in Savannah, Georgia, the site of the Decepticon's [[cyberforming]] process. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Using [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] disguises, they sneaked in and Ironhide worked out how to destroy the facility and save the planet, only to find [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] let them in to kill them! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Ironhide got the slag kicked out of him until Ratchet saved him, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} but he made up for it in keeping the Decepticons distracted while Ratchet finally took out the All Spark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

He was stationed near a refugee shelter in Savannah following the liberation of America. When Decepticons attacked the shelter, a position with no strategic value, Ironhide suspected it was a trap—which it was, an attempt to keep the Autobots in a position where a manipulated [[NATO]] could kill them all. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} Ironhide showed annoyance that the humans couldn't see the Autobots were just trying to help, and he replied with a curt "fine" when he was ordered not to return fire on any human tanks. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

Alongside [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], he protected San Diego from a Decepticon raid, talking the younger Autobot through how to best drive off the attackers. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

[[Image:StockadeVsIronhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|...Well, ''that's'' never happened before.]]

When Optimus wanted [[Nucleon]] to be secretly brought from the long-dead Cybertron to Earth, Ironhide was the one chosen to lead the mission (Bumblebee, Arcee and Armorhide with him). Ironhide warned his team to be on their guard, trust nothing, and that they'd die if they got misty-eyed about being home. Soon after landing, they ran into [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade's]] Decepticons, and Ironhide was challenged to hand-to-hand combat to resolve the situation. The look on Ironhide's face as Stockade shrugged off his strongest blow was a joy to behold (but not for Ironhide cos he got battered). {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} Ironhide absolutely refused to back down or surrender, leading to Stockade beating him up a few more times. When it became clear the Decepticons were going to use all the Nucleon to summon an alien entity into Cybertron's core, Ironhide decided to provide the "distraction" so the other Autobots could stop the plan: that distraction being to run over [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and smash into things, which ended when Stockade smashed him up one last time. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}}

When [[Unicron]] entered Cybertron's core and began reshaping the planet, Ironhide ordered Bumblebee to flee from falling rubble and not wait for him... and got squished. The other Autobots pulled him out, and he decided the only logical response to Unicron's invasion was to ''blow up the planet''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Luckily, a newly arrived Optimus had a better plan: Cut off the Nucleon that Unicron was using to power his physical form. Ironhide was part of this mission and led the defensive action against Unicron's internal defender drones, but lost his mega-bazooka in the process. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Upon returning to Earth and being fired on by Decepticons (who had seized Autobase and the six hundred square miles around it), he said he's the last guy to run from a firefight but they should... run from a firefight. He was both respectful of the fact the Autobots had not been around to stop the Decepticons and recognised the President was a blatant Decepticon slave. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

He was part of the raid to get [[Mikaela Banes]] back from the Decepticons, noting the Decepticons were letting them enter Savannah. His big contribution to the mission was to get thwacked by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

Optimus and Ironhide both realised Allen would be used against them, and so two weeks before he ''was'', Ironhide covertly contatced [[Tom Banachek]] and set him up to identify ''every'' Decepticon cerebro-strip puppet in the US government. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}} When it became clear Allen was going to order the Autobots off American soil, Ironhide headed off to do something ''mysteeeeerious'' with Bumblebee, which turned out to be setting things up so they could fake their own deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} This gave the Autobots the freedom to rig up the means to forcibly exile the Decepticons on Cybertron, and once Banachek was done the Autobots returned to hit the [[Decepticon Homeland]].

Ironhide was in the spearhead, acting as Prime's second-in-command and having his dialogue stolen by [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]]. He forcibly teleported Starscream to Cybertron, helping finally win a lasting peace for Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

[[Image:Movie Ironhide introduction.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Clint Eastbot in The Good, The Bad and The Metallic.]]
Responding to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s call for assistance, Ironhide and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to Earth, with the old soldier landing in a suburban pool. As he climbed out of the water, a little human girl asked him if he was (of all things) the tooth fairy before he quickly hid behind some trees when the child's parents exited the house. He scanned their GMC Topkick truck and transformed, leaving the residence. He linked up with [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and they proceeded to the rendezvous point, where they met up with Optimus and Bumblebee. After meeting [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his [[Weapon|cannons]], and made a classic [[wikipedia:Clint_Eastwood|Clint Eastwood]] impression to show it by saying "You feeling lucky, punk?"(which earned him an instant reproof from Optimus).

[[Image:Movie Ironhide threatens Mojo.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Don't shoot! I swear I don't feel lucky!]]

Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide had lubricant released upon him by [[Mojo|a rodent]]. This unpleasant situation was made worse by [[Sam Witwicky]]'s frantic refusal to let him shoot it. Ironhide relented, despite the fact that it would cause rust. He also suggested shooting [[Ron Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], as they were interfering with Sam's search for [[Archibald Witwicky|Captain Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Optimus reminded him that they don't hurt humans and scolded his weapons expert, to which Ironhide meekly responded that he merely thought it should remain an option.

After Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by [[Sector Seven]], Ironhide got a ''real'' good chance to show off his cannons when he and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Unfortunately, their escape was to be short-lived, as [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was captured by the mysterious agents after saving Sam and Mikaela's lives. The next morning, when Optimus Prime was pondering their next move, Ironhide asked why they had to save the humans, prompting Prime to go into one of his long speeches about freedom and sacrifice, concluding that the humans need not pay for the mistakes of Cybertron-kind, and if need be, he would destroy the All Spark by fusing it with his own spark. Inspired by his words, Ironhide debated no further, and the Autobots set out for the location of the All Spark, [[Hoover Dam]]. Halfway there, to their surprise, they saw Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles, so Ironhide and the rest of the Autobots joined the unit.

[[Image:Movie Ironhide shootground.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ironhide is a real showoff.]]

During the final battle at [[Mission City]], Ironhide realized that the F-22 Raptor that appeared to be providing [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] troops with air cover was in fact [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Ordering the others to take cover, Ironhide and Bumblebee lifted a discarded truck full of ''Furby'' toys to protect the humans against Starscream's strafing run. It worked, but the explosion threw Ironhide back and crippled Bumblebee. Soon afterwards, [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] attacked, forcing Ironhide to do several somersaults to avoid the Decepticon's missiles, thus totally scaring the crap out of a lady sitting in the middle of the street.

Ironhide and Ratchet took it upon themselves to protect Sam from [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] as he made his way to a rooftop where he could pass the [[All Spark]] to a military helicopter. Unfortunately, Starscream blocked off Sam's path, prompting the Autobot guardians to engage the more powerful Decepticon immediately. After taking several missiles in the gut, Ironhide implored Sam to keep running.

After the destruction of Megatron and the All Spark, Ironhide somberly cradled the body of the fallen Jazz while Ratchet informed Optimus Prime that there was nothing they could do. Ironhide then gave Captain Lennox a ride home and spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

With the war over, and infused with the power of the All Spark, Ironhide felt like a young 'bot again and decided to spend his new spare time by exploring Earth. Together with his new human friends, he’s having the time of his life conquering the most challenging trails on the planet, from Death Valley to the darkest Amazon basin! {{storylink|#Voyager Class toys|Offroad Ironhide}} He does this with William Lennox, who he stays with; when the soldier's away, Ironhide watches his family for him.

[[Image:Alliance1 Ironhide Lennox realfirepower.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"I'm not impressed by someone who blows up JUST ONE CAR."]]

As the Autobots and their human allies made their way to Mission City, Ironhide rammed [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] into a support pylon on the freeway, putting the Decepticon out of commission. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One}}

In the immediate aftermath of the battle in Mission City, Ironhide accompanied Captain Lennox and his soldiers, hunting for [[Allspark mutation|creatures created by the All Spark energies]]. They had already destroyed three of the creatures when [[Xbox 360 robot|another one]] fled into a red minivan, which Lennox's men peppered with small arms fire. Ironhide decided to show them what ''real'' firepower was and blew up the van with one shot. As the Autobots prepared to move out and flee the approaching Sector Seven and government forces, Ironhide placed Jazz's remains into a trailer [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] had found, and together the soldiers had a moment of silence for their fallen comrade. A month later, after he was approached by [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], Lennox requested the Autobots help escort the human convoy transporting the remains of the fallen Decepticons. However, the Autobots had been shadowed on their way to the meeting place by a police car, whom both Lennox and Ironhide guessed was Barricade. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

[[Image:Alliance1 Ironhide-Jazz momentofsilence.jpg|right|250px|thumb|At least [[Human|they're]] more emtional about this than Prime, and ''they never knew him''.]]

Ironhide and the other Autobots arrived at Sector Seven's secret [[Nevada]] desert installation to participate in the convoy that would transport the Decepticon bodies to San Francisco. He disagreed with Optimus Prime's decision to leave the All Spark fragment in the custody of Sector Seven while they were away, but nevertheless respected his commander's decision. On the freeway, Optimus Prime had a change of heart and sent Ironhide and Bumblebee back to retrieve the All Spark fragment. Unfortunately, Ironhide, being the slower of the two Autobots, didn't reach the base until after [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and Starscream had caused significant death and destruction. During the cleanup, he could be seen comforting the injured Bumblebee. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

[[Image:Alliance3_Ironhide_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|250px|]]

Amidst the scene of devastation at Sector Seven's Nevada base, Ironhide praised Bumblebee for his courage in attempting to defend the humans, but Bumblebee regretted that he could not save them all. After Jazz's burial two weeks later, Optimus Prime accepted a proposal from Captain Lennox that the humans and the Autobots form [[NEST|a special unit]] tasked with defending their mutual home. The Autobots began training with their human allies on the island of [[Diego Garcia]], however, the lack of coordination meant even Bumblebee showed up the humans. Ironhide opined that Bumblebee's shot was "awesome". Regardless or some teething issues, the team rolled out when the Decepticon [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] was spotted in [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

On the plane trip to the city, Ironhide commented on the likelihood of the Swindle and [[Dead End (Movie)|Dead End]] putting up a fight, and how he hated flying. On the safe, stable ground, Lennox gave orders e, Ratchet and Epps were assigned to team two, who would set the trap. En-route to the Decepticons, Ratchet and Ironhide bantered about how the former's vehicle mode was more suited to [[N.E.S.T.]]'s cover story of a chemical spill, while the latter asserted that he was the more stylish of the pair. After the Decepticons were disposed of, Major Lennox and Optimus Prime decided to send Bumblebee back to the United States to once again assume the role of Bumblebee's guardian. Ironhide reminded his little buddy to stay out of trouble, at least until the larger Autobot arrived to take over the protector role. Soon, more Decepticons were spotted on Earth, and Ironhide was deployed to [[Italy]] to deal with [[Fracture]]'s team. After [[Reverb (Movie)|Reverb]] and [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] had been destroyed, NEST forces led Fracture to Ironhide, who rammed the [[Female Transformers|female Decepticon]] off the cliff road she was racing upon. Somewhere in the United States, Barricade managed to evade capture or destruction, forcing Ironhide to give Bumblebee warning. An event that brought joy and hope to all was the arrival of new Autobot refugees to Earth, though this was tempered with the news of more Decepticon sightings, and training of the new recruits were put to the test when [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] was spotted in [[Shanghai]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

====Autobot campaign====
Ironhide arrived on Earth alongside the other Autobots upon Bumblebee's call. As [[Sector Seven]] forces closed in on them, Jazz was given the task of drawing the human authorities' attention away from the others. When Jazz soon found himself trapped by both human agents ''and'' Decepticons, Ironhide was sent to rescue him (without, Prime ordered him, another incident like that on [[Kaiba-5]]), a task that ended with his tangling with a [[Mixmaster (Movie)|Mixmaster]] unit in a construction lot.

A brief aside with Optimus Prime during the rescue revealed Ironhide's actions may have resulted in the destruction of [[Kaiba-5|a small planet]] at one point. Ironhide maintained that it was going to blow up ''anyway''.

In [[Mission City]], Ironhide once again was called to the rescue, as Bumblebee was trapped by a massive swarm of [[Energon drone|Energon drones]] activated by the [[All Spark]]. Ironhide waded into the thick of them and destroyed every last one. Shortly afterwards, he responded to Jazz's S.O.S. call, but was too late; the warrior had been killed by [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. Enraged, Ironhide engaged the tank, smashing through the backup drone-units before finally taking on Brawl himself. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

====Decepticon campaign====
As the Decepticons closed in on the All Spark within Mission City, [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] was tasked with bringing down the mighty Ironhide. Ironhide's powerful cannons, force shielding and hordes of backup drones made this fight ''incredibly'' difficult for Blackout, but the mammoth Decepticon was finally able to take Ironhide out. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is the only American toy release that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

[[Image:Movie Voyager Ironhide toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Guiltaur]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode, Ironhide is quite accurate to his CGI design, though obviously simplified for toy practicality. Contrary to appearances, he features full standard up-down and lateral shoulder articulation, as well as articulation in his elbows, hips and knees. His arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the ''Movie'' line.

*'''Ironhide''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, and a rather confused one at that. Though the Premium subline is meant to be redecos (and occasionally minor retools) of existing Movie toys in more Movie-accurate color schemes, Ironhide's vehicle mode ends up being less accurate than the initial release in an effort to make him appear less monochromatic and more obviously different to customers. Accurate changes include silver smokestacks, silver Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:Thankfully, in robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate as the original release's robot mode was missing much of his gold and gunmetal detailing colors. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Ironhide.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Pop goes the Autobot.]]
*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

*'''Pulse Cannon Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version of [[Generation 1]] [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above). Funky!

====Cyber Slammers====

:Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, the figure has an asymmetrical face: One eye is the usual cyber slammer style, the other is "squinted".

: ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool of toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line. The original arm cannons have been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for this Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 movie line voyagers. So any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. Ironhide's head has been replaced with a more accurate, asymmetrical head. Ironhide also features a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors.

'''Ironhide''' is the Autobots' resident weapons specialist and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s old friend. He is old because he is ''hard''. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] in the process.

Ironhide doesn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He's perhaps the more practical of the two, and more than a little trigger happy, so he can be more willing to push the Autobot code to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.

He has more guns than [[Carbombya|a smaller third-world country]], and he may or may not have blown up a [[Kaiba-5|planet]] with said guns.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Millions of years ago, Ironhide was a captain in the Cybertronian defense force. He and commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] were to report to Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], but Starscream was late due to an encounter with hostile aliens in the [[Eshems Nebula]] and Ironhide almost took off without him. Later, during an attack by the same aliens, Ironhide commanded the ground defense units in the city of [[Metrotitan (Movie)|Metrotitan]], near the [[Simfur]] temple. When [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] were pinned down inside the temple, they considered contacting Ironhide for suggestions on what to do. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1}}

After the aliens were driven out and Megatron assumed his dictatorship of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Ironhide found himself belonging to an increasingly violent and unstable military. He was present when Megatron ordered Starscream to conduct some clandestine operation of which Ironhide did not take part in. The disenchanted Ironhide turned his back on the military after Megatron's declared Optimus's faction traitors, and that the army now flew under the banner of the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

{{bigquote|"What's the first rule of soldiering?"
"Never leave a man behind."}}

That mega-bazooka of his has been with him since he was a proto-chip. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

During the war, Ironhide ran training missions for the younger Autobot recruits. These missions would often have the recruits thrown into the sharp end: one, involving [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] and [[Skyblast (Movie)|Skyblast]], abruptly turned into a raid on a Decepticon base and rescuing [[Longview|a prisoner]]. He also developed skills at resisting psychic interrogation techniques. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

He would later be one of three Autobots who tried to prevent [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from reaching the [[All Spark]]. They hadn't, however, expected for [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] to be demented enough to set off a foldspace warhead at pointblank range - a weapon that warped everyone to different parts of the galaxy. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

After spending some time planet-hopping, Ironhide detected [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s homing signal and headed for it. En route, he was captured by an alien spacecraft, one that appeared to belong to immense entities that created the All Spark and wanted it back. Ironhide, shrugging off a psychic probe, worked out these entities were an illusion - the ship was a derelict that had been salvaged by a group of aquatic aliens who wanted to find & exploit the All Spark. Ironhide removed their ability to do so by taking the derelict's device that tracked down All Spark energy. While he then went on his way, he was left wondering what race had originally owned this vessel and what their connection to the All Spark was... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 5|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

[[Image:Movie TitanTransformers8 ScorpieIronhide1.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ratchet was right. That tingles!]]
After meeting up with Ratchet, the two began searching for Jazz. They found he was the prisoner of a living, predatory planet; Ironhide reasoned with the planet to let their friend go (i.e. shot it repeatedly with his slag-off great cannon) and they took him back to Cybertron with them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 6|Lost In Space Part 4: Jazz}}

{{Note|The following event appears to be unique to the Titan continuity.}}

Following the [[Mission City]] battle, he worked with a United States Special Forces team to track down [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]. The Decepticon led them into a trap and took control of Ironhide's motor functions, causing him to attack the humans. They attempted to fight back - oh, you know those sabot rounds that are suppose to harm Transformers? They had no effect. Luckily, one of the soldiers was able to sever Scorponok's connection before he killed them all, and Ironhide killed the Decepticon the old-fashioned way: ''brutally''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 8|Scorpion Sting}}

{{notetitantlg}}

In a reality where the Decepticons won, Ironhide was part of the Autobot resistance on Earth and was in contact with reinforcements from Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} He and Ratchet were in a mission in Savannah, Georgia, the site of the Decepticon's [[cyberforming]] process. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Using [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] disguises, they sneaked in and Ironhide worked out how to destroy the facility and save the planet, only to find [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] let them in to kill them! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Ironhide got the slag kicked out of him until Ratchet saved him, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} but he made up for it in keeping the Decepticons distracted while Ratchet finally took out the All Spark. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

He was stationed near a refugee shelter in Savannah following the liberation of America. When Decepticons attacked the shelter, a position with no strategic value, Ironhide suspected it was a trap—which it was, an attempt to keep the Autobots in a position where a manipulated [[NATO]] could kill them all. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} Ironhide showed annoyance that the humans couldn't see the Autobots were just trying to help, and he replied with a curt "fine" when he was ordered not to return fire on any human tanks. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

Alongside [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], he protected San Diego from a Decepticon raid, talking the younger Autobot through how to best drive off the attackers. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

[[Image:StockadeVsIronhide.jpg|right|300px|thumb|...Well, ''that's'' never happened before.]]

When Optimus wanted [[Nucleon]] to be secretly brought from the long-dead Cybertron to Earth, Ironhide was the one chosen to lead the mission (Bumblebee, Arcee and Armorhide with him). Ironhide warned his team to be on their guard, trust nothing, and that they'd die if they got misty-eyed about being home. Soon after landing, they ran into [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade's]] Decepticons, and Ironhide was challenged to hand-to-hand combat to resolve the situation. The look on Ironhide's face as Stockade shrugged off his strongest blow was a joy to behold (but not for Ironhide cos he got battered). {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} Ironhide absolutely refused to back down or surrender, leading to Stockade beating him up a few more times. When it became clear the Decepticons were going to use all the Nucleon to summon an alien entity into Cybertron's core, Ironhide decided to provide the "distraction" so the other Autobots could stop the plan: that distraction being to run over [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and smash into things, which ended when Stockade smashed him up one last time. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}}

When [[Unicron]] entered Cybertron's core and began reshaping the planet, Ironhide ordered Bumblebee to flee from falling rubble and not wait for him... and got squished. The other Autobots pulled him out, and he decided the only logical response to Unicron's invasion was to ''blow up the planet''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Luckily, a newly arrived Optimus had a better plan: Cut off the Nucleon that Unicron was using to power his physical form. Ironhide was part of this mission and led the defensive action against Unicron's internal defender drones, but lost his mega-bazooka in the process. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Upon returning to Earth and being fired on by Decepticons (who had seized Autobase and the six hundred square miles around it), he said he's the last guy to run from a firefight but they should... run from a firefight. He was both respectful of the fact the Autobots had not been around to stop the Decepticons and recognised the President was a blatant Decepticon slave. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

He was part of the raid to get [[Mikaela Banes]] back from the Decepticons, noting the Decepticons were letting them enter Savannah. His big contribution to the mission was to get thwacked by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

Optimus and Ironhide both realised Allen would be used against them, and so two weeks before he ''was'', Ironhide covertly contatced [[Tom Banachek]] and set him up to identify ''every'' Decepticon cerebro-strip puppet in the US government. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}} When it became clear Allen was going to order the Autobots off American soil, Ironhide headed off to do something ''mysteeeeerious'' with Bumblebee, which turned out to be setting things up so they could fake their own deaths. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} This gave the Autobots the freedom to rig up the means to forcibly exile the Decepticons on Cybertron, and once Banachek was done the Autobots returned to hit the [[Decepticon Homeland]].

Ironhide was in the spearhead, acting as Prime's second-in-command and having his dialogue stolen by [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]]. He forcibly teleported Starscream to Cybertron, helping finally win a lasting peace for Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

[[Image:Movie Ironhide introduction.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Clint Eastbot in The Good, The Bad and The Metallic.]]
Responding to [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s call for assistance, Ironhide and the other Autobots under Optimus Prime's direct command came to Earth, with the old soldier landing in a suburban pool. As he climbed out of the water, a little human girl asked him if he was (of all things) the tooth fairy before he quickly hid behind some trees when the child's parents exited the house. He scanned their GMC Topkick truck and transformed, leaving the residence. He linked up with [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and they proceeded to the rendezvous point, where they met up with Optimus and Bumblebee. After meeting [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his [[Weapon|cannons]], and made a classic [[wikipedia:Clint_Eastwood|Clint Eastwood]] impression to show it by saying "You feeling lucky, punk?"(which earned him an instant reproof from Optimus).

[[Image:Movie Ironhide threatens Mojo.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Don't shoot! I swear I don't feel lucky!]]

Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide had lubricant released upon him by [[Mojo|a rodent]]. This unpleasant situation was made worse by [[Sam Witwicky]]'s frantic refusal to let him shoot it. Ironhide relented, despite the fact that it would cause rust. He also suggested shooting [[Ron Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]], as they were interfering with Sam's search for [[Archibald Witwicky|Captain Witwicky]]'s [[glasses]]. Optimus reminded him that they don't hurt humans and scolded his weapons expert, to which Ironhide meekly responded that he merely thought it should remain an option.

After Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by [[Sector Seven]], Ironhide got a ''real'' good chance to show off his cannons when he and the other Autobots totally outclassed the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing the boy and his girl. Unfortunately, their escape was to be short-lived, as [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] was captured by the mysterious agents after saving Sam and Mikaela's lives. The next morning, when Optimus Prime was pondering their next move, Ironhide asked why they had to save the humans, prompting Prime to go into one of his long speeches about freedom and sacrifice, concluding that the humans need not pay for the mistakes of Cybertron-kind, and if need be, he would destroy the All Spark by fusing it with his own spark. Inspired by his words, Ironhide debated no further, and the Autobots set out for the location of the All Spark, [[Hoover Dam]]. Halfway there, to their surprise, they saw Bumblebee leading a column of Sector Seven assault vehicles, so Ironhide and the rest of the Autobots joined the unit.

[[Image:Movie Ironhide shootground.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Ironhide is a real showoff.]]

During the final battle at [[Mission City]], Ironhide realized that the F-22 Raptor that appeared to be providing [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] troops with air cover was in fact [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Ordering the others to take cover, Ironhide and Bumblebee lifted a discarded truck full of ''Furby'' toys to protect the humans against Starscream's strafing run. It worked, but the explosion threw Ironhide back and crippled Bumblebee. Soon afterwards, [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] attacked, forcing Ironhide to do several somersaults to avoid the Decepticon's missiles, thus totally scaring the crap out of a lady sitting in the middle of the street.

Ironhide and Ratchet took it upon themselves to protect Sam from [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] as he made his way to a rooftop where he could pass the [[All Spark]] to a military helicopter. Unfortunately, Starscream blocked off Sam's path, prompting the Autobot guardians to engage the more powerful Decepticon immediately. After taking several missiles in the gut, Ironhide implored Sam to keep running.

After the destruction of Megatron and the All Spark, Ironhide somberly cradled the body of the fallen Jazz while Ratchet informed Optimus Prime that there was nothing they could do. Ironhide then gave Captain Lennox a ride home and spent the remainder of the day observing Sam and Mikaela making out on the hood of Bumblebee's vehicle mode. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

[[Image:Alliance1 Ironhide Lennox realfirepower.jpg|left|300px|thumb|"I'm not impressed by someone who blows up JUST ONE CAR."]]

As the Autobots and their human allies made their way to Mission City, Ironhide rammed [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] into a support pylon on the freeway, putting the Decepticon out of commission. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One}}

In the immediate aftermath of the battle in Mission City, Ironhide accompanied Captain Lennox and his soldiers, hunting for [[Allspark mutation|creatures created by the All Spark energies]]. They had already destroyed three of the creatures when [[Xbox 360 robot|another one]] fled into a red minivan, which Lennox's men peppered with small arms fire. Ironhide decided to show them what ''real'' firepower was and blew up the van with one shot. As the Autobots prepared to move out and flee the approaching Sector Seven and government forces, Ironhide placed Jazz's remains into a trailer [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] had found, and together the soldiers had a moment of silence for their fallen comrade. A month later, after he was approached by [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]], Lennox requested the Autobots help escort the human convoy transporting the remains of the fallen Decepticons. However, the Autobots had been shadowed on their way to the meeting place by a police car, whom both Lennox and Ironhide guessed was Barricade. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1}}

[[Image:Alliance1 Ironhide-Jazz momentofsilence.jpg|right|250px|thumb|At least [[Human|they're]] more emtional about this than Prime, and ''they never knew him''.]]

Ironhide and the other Autobots arrived at Sector Seven's secret [[Nevada]] desert installation to participate in the convoy that would transport the Decepticon bodies to San Francisco. He disagreed with Optimus Prime's decision to leave the All Spark fragment in the custody of Sector Seven while they were away, but nevertheless respected his commander's decision. On the freeway, Optimus Prime had a change of heart and sent Ironhide and Bumblebee back to retrieve the All Spark fragment. Unfortunately, Ironhide, being the slower of the two Autobots, didn't reach the base until after [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] and Starscream had caused significant death and destruction. During the cleanup, he could be seen comforting the injured Bumblebee. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}}

[[Image:Alliance3_Ironhide_Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|250px|]]

Amidst the scene of devastation at Sector Seven's Nevada base, Ironhide praised Bumblebee for his courage in attempting to defend the humans, but Bumblebee regretted that he could not save them all. After Jazz's burial two weeks later, Optimus Prime accepted a proposal from Captain Lennox that the humans and the Autobots form [[NEST|a special unit]] tasked with defending their mutual home. The Autobots began training with their human allies on the island of [[Diego Garcia]], however, the lack of coordination meant even Bumblebee showed up the humans. Ironhide opined that Bumblebee's shot was "awesome". Regardless or some teething issues, the team rolled out when the Decepticon [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] was spotted in [[San Francisco]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

On the plane trip to the city, Ironhide commented on the likelihood of the Swindle and [[Dead End (Movie)|Dead End]] putting up a fight, and how he hated flying. On the safe, stable ground, Lennox gave orders e, Ratchet and Epps were assigned to team two, who would set the trap. En-route to the Decepticons, Ratchet and Ironhide bantered about how the former's vehicle mode was more suited to [[N.E.S.T.]]'s cover story of a chemical spill, while the latter asserted that he was the more stylish of the pair. After the Decepticons were disposed of, Major Lennox and Optimus Prime decided to send Bumblebee back to the United States to once again assume the role of Bumblebee's guardian. Ironhide reminded his little buddy to stay out of trouble, at least until the larger Autobot arrived to take over the protector role. Soon, more Decepticons were spotted on Earth, and Ironhide was deployed to [[Italy]] to deal with [[Fracture]]'s team. After [[Reverb (Movie)|Reverb]] and [[Gunbarrel (Movie)|Gunbarrel]] had been destroyed, NEST forces led Fracture to Ironhide, who rammed the [[Female Transformers|female Decepticon]] off the cliff road she was racing upon. Somewhere in the United States, Barricade managed to evade capture or destruction, forcing Ironhide to give Bumblebee warning. An event that brought joy and hope to all was the arrival of new Autobot refugees to Earth, though this was tempered with the news of more Decepticon sightings, and training of the new recruits were put to the test when [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] was spotted in [[Shanghai]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4}}

====Autobot campaign====
Ironhide arrived on Earth alongside the other Autobots upon Bumblebee's call. As [[Sector Seven]] forces closed in on them, Jazz was given the task of drawing the human authorities' attention away from the others. When Jazz soon found himself trapped by both human agents ''and'' Decepticons, Ironhide was sent to rescue him (without, Prime ordered him, another incident like that on [[Kaiba-5]]), a task that ended with his tangling with a [[Mixmaster (Movie)|Mixmaster]] unit in a construction lot.

A brief aside with Optimus Prime during the rescue revealed Ironhide's actions may have resulted in the destruction of [[Kaiba-5|a small planet]] at one point. Ironhide maintained that it was going to blow up ''anyway''.

In [[Mission City]], Ironhide once again was called to the rescue, as Bumblebee was trapped by a massive swarm of [[Energon drone|Energon drones]] activated by the [[All Spark]]. Ironhide waded into the thick of them and destroyed every last one. Shortly afterwards, he responded to Jazz's S.O.S. call, but was too late; the warrior had been killed by [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. Enraged, Ironhide engaged the tank, smashing through the backup drone-units before finally taking on Brawl himself. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

====Decepticon campaign====
As the Decepticons closed in on the All Spark within Mission City, [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] was tasked with bringing down the mighty Ironhide. Ironhide's powerful cannons, force shielding and hordes of backup drones made this fight ''incredibly'' difficult for Blackout, but the mammoth Decepticon was finally able to take Ironhide out. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is the only American toy release that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, there are many complaints about the fists sticking out of the back of the truck and the weird truck proportions.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 [[wikipedia:GMC Topkick|GMC Topkick]] 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode, Ironhide is quite accurate to his CGI design, though obviously simplified for toy practicality. Contrary to appearances, he features full standard up-down and lateral shoulder articulation, as well as articulation in his elbows, hips and knees. His arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the ''Movie'' line.

*'''Ironhide''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, and a rather confused one at that. Though the Premium subline is meant to be redecos (and occasionally minor retools) of existing Movie toys in more Movie-accurate color schemes, Ironhide's vehicle mode ends up being less accurate than the initial release in an effort to make him appear less monochromatic and more obviously different to customers. Accurate changes include silver smokestacks, silver Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:Thankfully, in robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate as the original release's robot mode was missing much of his gold and gunmetal detailing colors. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version of [[Generation 1]] [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above).

'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, the figure has an asymmetrical face: One eye is the usual cyber slammer style, the other is "squinted".

:As reported at [http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], [http://www.monroetruck.com/index.asp Monroe Truck Equipment], in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications.

==Trivia==
* In the initial draft of the movie, Ironhide was not present among the Autobot cast. However, he replaced female Autobot [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] in later drafts and the subsequent final script.
* In the movie, Ironhide's guns ''alone'' have 10,000 CGI parts ''each''. Yet this was somehow passed over in the Academy Awards for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Compass_%28film%29 talking polar bears.]
* If you look really closely, you can see a large scar over Ironhide's right eye.

Starscream clone (Animated)

Pich Black: /* Trivia */

{{factions|decepticon}}
{{disambig2|the abominations from the [[Transformers Animated|Animated]] [[continuity family]]|the mad Starscream clone from the Dreamwave comics|Sunstorm (G1)}}
:''Starscream clones are a group from the [[Transformers Animated|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Lotta_starscreams.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Are there no signs of normalcy in these wretches? No [[Skywarp (Animated)|cowardice]] or [[Thundercracker (Animated)|pomposity]], no [[Female Starscream|snideyness]] or [[Sunstorm (Animated)|smarm]], not even basic honest-to-goodness [[Dirge (Animated)|double-dealing]] [[Liar Starscream|two-facedness]]?]]

A '''Starscream clone''' is one of an army of (mostly) physically identical copies of [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]. They have all of his abilities, with the added bonus of being extremely disposable. While there seem to be a large number of mass-produced clones, a handful have appeared which carry [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] energy signatures, have different colour schemes, and seem to embody various elements of Starscream's personality. How these clones were created is a mystery; all that is known is that an army of Starscreams cannot lead to anything good.
The clones include:

*[[Dirge (Animated)|Dirge]], representing Starscream's greed.
*[[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]], representing Starscream's cowardice.
*[[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]], representing Starscream's bootlicking tendencies.
*[[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]], representing Starscream's ego.
*[[Female Starscream|A clone representing parts of Starscream best left unexplored.]]
*[[Liar Starscream|A clone that is as honest as the day is long.]]

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
[[Image:Dragging_purple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Skywarp, you've got a longer yellow streak than a herd of diarrhetic camels.]]

After [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] and [[Lockdown]] captured and then lost the original Starscream on the Moon, his sycophantic clone destroyed Prowl's shuttle and headed for Earth. The two bots followed him, but bumped into the cowardly clone first. After capturing him, Lockdown double-crossed Prowl and dragged the clone away. As the Autobots gave chase, the Sycophant appeared and offered to deal. Prowl wasn't having any of it, and after a brief skirmish, managed to get the [[stasis cuffs]] on him. Both Lockdown and the Autobots took the clones to an abandoned warehouse, where the Decepticons were waiting. As everyone was understandably shocked, some sort of program deactivated the clones' higher functions and opened their spark chambers, which were empty...except for a pair of powerful bombs. As Lockdown and the Decepticons made a break for it, Prowl welded his borrowed mods to the pair and launched them into the sky, where they exploded. The Decepticons were caught in the blast wave, but the city was saved. In the wreckage of the ''[[Nemesis (Animated)|Nemesis]]'', a disappointed but pragmatic Starscream consoled himself with the fact he still had plenty left. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

While Megatron was officially bringing the Constructicons into his army on Earth, Starscream was doing the same with his fifth clone on the Moon. Immediately after he brought his final clone on-line, however, the neurotic ensemble began giving him trouble, and he learned that each of them embodied a distilled facet of his personality: his cowardice, his sycophancy, his deceitfulness, his egomania...and one facet that warned him not to ask what she was. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I‎}}

After bringing the five clones to life, the Starscreams all flew to Earth after Megatron made the [[Space Bridge]]. Starscream attacked the Decepticons with his new army and lost two clones (along with Blurr) in a blob of cement, and soon after lost his head to Prof. Sumdac. Finally, the other Starscream clones decided he was unworthy to lead them and sided with Megatron, but after that they all had to attack [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] and were easily defeated. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I‎I}}

The two clones who were warped into space with Blurr were able to escape their cement prison, but were left behind in space as Blurr darted away. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

It was also revealed that the Liar Starscream had survived, as he saved Lugnut (and promised not to tell Megatron).{{storylink|Three's A Crowd}}

===Titan Magazines===
Starscream used his mass produced clones to seize the Autobot base. Unfortunately, Sari knew their weakness: they weren't immune to [[Dinobot (Animated)|giant robot dinosaurs beating the slag out of them]]. {{storylink|Dino-MIGHT!}}

==Trivia==
* The clones are a reference to the common practice of redecoing Starscream toys as new characters, specifically the [[Seekers]].
*The color schemes (though little more) of most of the clones are inspired by various [[Generation 1]] [[Seeker|Seekers]].
* At [[BotCon 2008]], ''Animated'' series creators [[Derrick Wyatt]] and [[Marty Isenberg]] repeatedly emphasized that there would be "no clone army...definitely no clone army...absolutely no clone army in this show." Lots of reports forgot the sarcasm tag.
* Starscream could certainly be considered an [[Army-building|army-builder]].
* This is, however, not [[A Prime Problem|the first appearance]] of a Starscream clone.
* Or even [[Sunstorm (G1)|the second.]]
* For some reason, [[Dirge (Animated)|Dirge]] was added to the clones after their fictional appearance, making him the single toy-only clone so far (and one of the few Animated toy-only characters, period).
* Derek Wyatt explained in a recent interview that he intended the clones to evolve into individuals the longer they remained online. Noting it has not been depicted, he implied the concept was dropped.

Wheeljack (Animated)

{{disambig3|Wheeljack}}
:''Wheeljack is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:AnimatedWheeljack.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Today on Mythbusters: is it really possible to build a machine that builds machines that build catapults?]]
'''Wheeljack''' is a scientist working with the Autobot [[Ministry of Science]]. Skilled at solving engineering issues, he is frequently paired for special projects with the scientific wunderbot [[Perceptor (Animated)|Perceptor]].

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
{{ongoing}}
{{Note|Events from [[IDW Publishing]] comics are in italics}}

During the Great War, Wheeljack was present when [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] was activated. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

''After the orders came down from [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] to initiate operation [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]], Wheeljack put his nose to the grindstone to make sure the bodies of the test subjects would withstand the stresses of the data-merge of Decepticon flight codes. When asked about the dangers, he discussed the possibility that the test subjects would have increased size, strength, and an overwhelming desire to reduce Autobots to wreckage. He was kidding about that last part, he hoped. Thankfully with a bit of help from [[Red Alert (Animated)|Red Alert]] to coordinate the data-merge, the process was a success, producing [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]]. {{storylink|Rise of Safeguard|Rise of Safeguard}}''

==Trivia==
* When the show's creator was asked in a recent interview if Wheeljack would ever be voiced or seen in his alt mode, Derrick Wyatt's response was "Not in season 3. To both.", as opposed to a direct no. Hmmm...
