Sneering and dismissive, the [[Orangucon]] '''Simacore''' ''knows'' that he's smart. This haughty [[Decepticon]] scientist sees no reason why he shouldn't lord his superior cerebration over the simpletons that dare to challenge his obvious intellectual superiority. If they were half as brilliant as he is, they wouldn't even think of competing against him in a test of brains or brawn. Unlike most eggheads, Simacore also boasts prodigious strength that goes hand-in-hand with a nasty temper, meaning that he's just as likely to pound your face in as he is to belittle your intelligence.

As a [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]], Simacore has formed a partnership with the equally conceited [[Mini-Con]]s [[Axiom (RID)|Axiom]] and [[Theorem]]. In spite of their frequent (well, ''constant'') bickering, they make ideal research assistants. If things get really, er, hairy, they're more than happy to serve as backup in a fight, distracting foes before Simacore lays the smackdown.

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Simacore was a famously temperamental scientist. After an experiment went wrong, he took his frustrations out on his colleagues, which resulted in his imprisonment aboard the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. When the ship crashed on [[Earth]], Simacore and his Mini-Cons escaped. To get back home, Simacore planned to build a starship. He broke into a particle research laboratory and stole a secondary control circuit from a particle accelerator. Before he could escape, he was confronted by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]], and a temporarily superintelligent [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]].

Simacore took advantage of Grimlock's newfound clumsiness to defeat him, then quickly clobbered Strongarm and Bumblebee before escaping. Realizing that Grimlock had made off with his circuitboard while he was preoccupied, he set off to confront the Dinobot, who had locked himself in an observation room. After realizing that he and his Mini-Cons were incapable of breaking through, Simacore took the other two Autobots hostage and magnetized them to a particle accelerator. With only a few minutes before the beam fired, Grimlock - who had been returned to his normal intellect, albeit temporarily immobilized- called Simacore to the observation room, where he intended to challenge the Decepticon to a contest of intelligence. Grimlock, [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]], [[Denny Clay|Denny]], and [[Russell Clay|Russell]] managed to stall Simacore long enough for Grimlock to regain mobility, whereupon he flattened the Decepticon with his signature cannonball move. Simacore and his Mini-Cons were subsequently put back in a [[stasis pod]]. {{storylink|Brainpower}} Luckily for Simacore, the stasis pod turned out to be defective, and he was able to escape.

Locating [[Vertebreak (RID)|Vertebreak]]'s old lab in the subway tunnels under [[Crown City]], he started creating [[Mini-Clone|clones of his Mini-Cons]] until his activities were detected by the Autobots. His electric trap incapacitated Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe and Drift, but when he heard Grimlock nearby, he went to face the Dinobot, only to be met by Grimlock coming the other way at high speed. He pummeled the Dinobot who was reluctant to fight back, until Simacore revealed that he and Grimlock were arch enemies. At that point, Grimlock knocked him out. {{storylink|The Fastest Bot Alive!}}

Simacore's stasis pod was later taken aboard ''[[Prime Force One]]'' by [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Drift (RID)|Drift]]. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

==Notes==
*Simacore uses an altered version of [[Groundpounder (RID)|Groundpounder]]'s gorilla-themed character model, altered to resemble a {{w|Bornean orangutan}}. He also has symmetrical arms, and transforms into a tracked research vehicle as opposed to an excavator.

:''The ''Alchemor'' is a spacecraft from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:RIDtitles Alchemor.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.67|Were you surprised that a Cybertronian ship crash landed, and on Earth of all places?]]

There are some who might use the phrase "a wretched hive of scum and villainy" to describe the prisoner manifest of the '''''Alchemor'''''... and they'd be right. A maximum-security prison ship, the vessel was built by the [[Autobot]]s and designed to hold a cargo of defeated [[Decepticon]]s inside [[stasis pod]]s.

Hundreds of Decepticons were captured and interred aboard the vessel before its launch off [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]—everything from [[Chop Shop (RID)|petty crooks]], to [[Simacore|disgruntled scientists]], all the way up to [[Stockade (RID)|high-ranking military officers]] and [[Steeljaw (RID)|political agitators]]. Most of the inmates etheir have [[Animal Motifs|animal motifs]] in their robot modes or have [[Beast mode|beast forms]] as their alternate mode. The unenviable duty of maintaining the vessel and its inmates fell to a skeleton crew of [[Caretaker Mini-Con]]s, who oversaw the ship's day-to-day operation.

The volatile cargo that the ''Alchemor'' carried left it open to attacks from raiders seeking to free their imprisoned comrades. To minimize the risk, the ship carried a cloaking device that allowed it to resupply on a planet without agitating the natives or any local Decepticon cells. Although the Autobots came up with a variety of security systems, most prominently a set of advanced [[Decepticon Hunter]]s in the ship's armories, they apparently didn't plan many contingency measures in case the ship crashed on an undeveloped [[Earth|planet]] where the escaped prisoners could easily run amok.

Whoops.

==Fiction==
===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
[[File:MetalMeltdown-Alchemorstern.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.]]
As the ''Alchemor'' passed by Earth, [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]—manipulating things from an alternate dimension—damaged the ''Alchemor'', causing the ship to fall towards Earth. {{storylink|Lockout}} The entry through Earth's atmosphere tore the ship in two. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} The front half, where prison guard [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] was stationed, crashed in the woods near [[Denny Clay]]'s [[Vintage Salvage Depot for the Discriminating Nostalgist|scrapyard]]. {{storylink|Lockout}} The impact of the crash damaged almost all of the stasis pods used to keep the prisoners under control, sparking a mass jailbreak. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}}

Damaged by the crash, Fixit was able to repair some of the ship's systems and tried to send a mayday to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] and his [[Bee Team (RID)|impromptu team]] discovered the wreck before the signal could reach Cybertron, having been led to Earth for then-unknown reasons by visions of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. (Well, Bumblebee was. The other two had just kinda tagged along.) Fixit got the ship's tracking systems online, allowing them to find [[Underbite]], though the crash site subsequently became the scene of a battle between the Autobots and the lone Decepticon. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}}

Meanwhile, the back half of the ship had landed in a bay near [[Crown City]]. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} The Decepticon prisoners aboard quickly rallied under the leadership of [[Glowstrike]], [[Saberhorn]], and [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]]. Under their direction, the Decepticons overthrew the Mini-Con guards assigned to keep them in line, and enslaved them with [[inhibitor collar]]s. Glowstrike planned to rebuild the ship, and use it to get off-world. Using the ship's still-intact cloaking function, she managed to hide the existence of her "Decepticon island" from Autobots and [[human]]s alike. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

Now stranded on Earth and charged with recapturing the ''Alchemor'' escapees, the Autobots and humans relocated large portions of the ship to Denny's scrapyard. From here, Fixit could utilize its tracking function, or consult its prisoner manifest for relevant information. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}} [[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] made another sweep of the crash site, and managed to salvage a damaged [[Decepticon Hunter]]. {{storylink|As the Kospego Commands!}} Due to the damage caused to him from the crash, a malfunctioning Fixit returned to the crashsite, repeating the word "escape", only to be found by [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]], and [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] the following morning. Their arrival caught the attention of a bear, which the three Autobots engaged with in a brief skirmish. {{storylink|The Trouble with Fixit}} During an argument with Denny, Fixit spitefully wired the human's TV set into the ''Alchemor''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s computer system. {{storylink|Rumble in the Jungle}}

When the Decepticon [[Saberhorn]] was discovered by Bumblebee's squad, Fixit was unable to find him in the ''Alchemor''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> prisoner manifest. Later, by remotely accessing a computer at one of [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]]'s bases, he discovered that the Decepticon ''was'' listed as having been imprisoned on the ship, raising questions as to just what was going on with Fixit's records. Meanwhile, Saberhorn and [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]] returned to the back half of the crashed ship, the latter being trailed by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]]. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}}

Working himself into Glowstrike's command structure, Steeljaw won her good graces by springing a slew of captured Decepticons and returning them to the sunken ''Alchemor''. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

After overthrowing Scorponok and assuming his place among Glowstrike's inner retinue, Steeljaw accessed an armory and used it to stage a coup. From here, he took command of the hundreds of Decepticons aboard the vessel. A Mini-Con slave and former guard named [[Toolbox]] managed to escape captivity, and managed to alert the Autobots to the location of the ship. The Autobots, masquerading as [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]]'s prisoners, slipped aboard, planning to detonate a [[stasis bomb]] in the ship's ventilation system. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} The Autobots were successful in defeating Steeljaw and detonating the bomb, thanks in part to a mass Mini-Con revolt led by Fixit. With their prisoners safely back in stasis, Toolbox and the other Mini-Cons promised to rebuild the ship and leave Earth for Cybertron as soon as possible. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}}

[[Springload (RID)|Several]] [[Zorillor|few]] [[Simacore|straggling]] [[Wingcode|prisoners]] would remain on the planet months later {{storylink|Sphere of Influence}} {{storylink|The Fastest Bot Alive!}} {{storylink|Sick as a Bot}}, though they were eventually taken back to Cybertron onboard ''[[Prime Force One]]''. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}} {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

'''The Bee Team encounters a new Autobot, sent to Earth long ago.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Strongarm (RID)|Strongarm]] is giving an impromptu lecture to the other [[Autobot]]s about the dangers of horses, using a toy rocking horse as a teaching aide. [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] is skeptical, but Strongarm maintains that since many of the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'''s inmates [[Animal Motifs|resemble Earth animals]], it never hurts to be prepared. [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] is less than impressed, and heads off to train in the woods alone.

[[File:BuzzOnWindblade Sideswipe fights Windblade.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Only after we have mistakenly fought can we team up.]]
While racing through the forest, Sideswipe overhears a fight, and stumbles across [[Scratch]], locked in combat with a jet. The jet gains the upper hand and transforms into an unfamiliar Autobot, who overpowers and incapacitates the [[Decepticon]]. Sideswipe tries to compliment her on her takedown, but she mistakes him for another escaped Decepticon. The Autobot nearly takes him down until she notices his [[Autobot]] insignia. The Autobot introduces herself as [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]], a fellow Autobot on a mission of her own.

Back at the scrapyard, the Decepticon is safely in a [[stasis pod]]. Windblade is quickly making friends with Bumblebee and his team, much to Strongarm's dismay. Strongarm asks if she was sent by the Council, but Windblade reveals [[Primus]] himself sent her to [[Earth]]! She recounts that a thousand years ago, Primus warned her of a rising evil, and sent her into stasis after modifying her body and enhancing her sensors. Having reawakened a month ago, Windblade has been secretly tracking down and imprisoning fugitive Decepticons. Strongarm is still skeptical of Windblades's story, but Sideswipe is even more impressed with her. Windblade detects another Decepticon signal nearby, and helps [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] get a lock on it. The team rolls out after Windblade comes up with a catchy motto, impressing Bumblebee.

[[File:RID-zizza.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Humans, bring me a year's worth of newspapers!]]
The team eventually arrive outside a nearby airfield, where a trio of [[human]] planes are behaving erratically. Strongarm is still unenthusiastic about having to work with Windblade, but finds herself partnered with Windblade, [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]], and Sideswipe. They work their way toward the airport's entrance, but Strongarm accidentally tips off one of the humans, who orders the nearest "drones" to divebomb the Autobots. The four Autobots make a run for the hangar — although Strongarm thinks that they should contact Bumblebee first — and manage to get inside.

Once inside, the Autobots discover their target: a bee-like Decepticon who controls humans with her toxic sting. Even worse, the Decepticon boasts that her loyal workers are planning to spread this toxin to airports all over the world! As the Autobots move closer, the Decepticon takes her two nearest workers hostage, and threatens to kill them if the Autobots try to arrest her. Windblade calls the bluff and promptly draws her sword, but Strongarm trips her before the Decepticon notices. Realizing that they cannot endanger innocent humans, the Autobots temporarily retreat.

[[File:BuzzOnWindblade humans vs Autobots.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"What do we do now?" "We can take 'em; it's not like they have [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|man-made Transformers]], right?"]]
Outside, Windblade confronts Strongarm about her interference. Strongarm retorts that all human lives are worth saving. Windblade is surprised, but realizes that Strongarm is right. After filling Bumblebee and [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] in on the situation, Bumblebee has Fixit try to find a match for their quarry. Fixit tells them that they're up against [[Zizza]], a Decepticon who tried to pull a similar mind-control stunt back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Strongarm, having studied the behavior of Earth bees, hatches a new plan. Realizing that Zizza needs heat to stay active, Strongarm tells her allies that she knows how to make Zizza "chill out".

The group surrounds the hangar and swings into action; Grimlock distracts some of Zizza's drones while [[Slipstream (RID)|Slipstream]] and [[Jetstorm (RID)|Jetstorm]] cut the power, deactivating Zizza's heat lamps. Fixit warns Bumblebee that there's a plane requesting landing clearance. Bumblebee orders Fixit to hack into the control tower and divert the plane. Meanwhile, the mind-controlled pilots move in to intercept the plane. Bumblebee asks Windblade to reach the landing plane first, and Sideswipe tags along to assist. After Sideswipe forces the brainwashed pilots to land, Fixit manages to hack into the Control Tower, and diverts the plane to another airfield.

[[File:BuzzOnWindblade Strongarm battles Zizza.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Such bees!" Strongarm had never seen anything like it.
"If one were to sting me," she thought "I should swell up as big as I am!"]]
Strongarm watches the interception, but then notices Zizza trying to flee. Strongarm tries to weigh Zizza down while dodging her stingers. Windblade and Sideswipe pass by, and their combined efforts manage to knock Zizza into a tanker filled with refrigerated foam, incapacitating the temperature-sensitive Decepticon and allowing Strongarm to slap a pair of [[stasis cuffs]] on her target.

With the airfield back to normal and the humans recovering with no memory of the event, Windblade announces that she's off to continue her own mission. Sideswipe begs her not to go, even pleading Bumblebee to say otherwise. Before she leaves though, Windblade makes amends with Strongarm, admitting that her reckless plan almost cost innocent lives. With a mutual respect slowly growing between the two, Windblade transforms and flies away. Sideswipe compliments Strongarm on her plan... leaving Strongarm wondering if she just heard a genuine compliment from her comrade.

==Quotes==
'''Strongarm''': And the lower appendages, or 'hooves', of real horses can cause significant injury. 
'''Bumblebee''': Uh, Strongarm, horses aren't generally aggressive unless provoked. 
'''Strongarm''': Perhaps not, sir. But given how many of the Alchemor's inmates are analogous to Earth's animals, it is vital that we understand any- 
'''Sideswipe''': Enough!
:—In the classroom with Miss Strongarm

'''Windblade''': Looks like this team you've put together has had a pretty high success rate. The mark of good leadership. 
'''Bumblebee''': [bashful] Heh, well… I had solid raw materials to begin with. 
'''Windblade''': If [[Sideswipe (RID)|Slick]] here is any indication, I'd say that's probably true. 
'''Strongarm''': [muttering] ''Slick''?
:—The rest of the team meets Windblade

'''Windblade''': Let's crank some pistons and cross some distance! 
'''Sideswipe''': Yeah-ha-ha, alright! 
'''Grimlock''': That's how you do it! 
'''Bumblebee''': Now, how did you come up with that so fast? Cause I've had the worst time.
:—In which Bumblebee finds a catchphrase mentor

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Windblade mentions having been reactivated a month ago, suggesting that is how much time has passed since the ''Alchemor'' crash.

===Prisoner manifest===
* ''In stasis'': Hammerstrike, Bisk, Chop Shop, Terrashock, Filch, Minitron, Springload, Ped, Quillfire, "that one with all the eyes", Malodor and the Skunkticons, Nightstrike, Vertebreak, Octopunch, Groundpounder, Headlock, Scowl, Scratch, Zizza
* ''Known at large'': Steeljaw, Thunderhoof, Underbite, Clampdown, Kickback
* ''Released'': Grimlock
* ''Countless others all missing, presumed at large''

===Transformers references===
* Per ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'', Primus is depicted as being the [[core]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].
* Sideswipe performs [[Jet judo]].

===Real-world references===
* Grimlock clambers up the air control tower while being attacked by planes, an obvious homage to ''[[King Kong]]''.
* Windblade's transformation by Primus is a direct reference to the transformation sequences in magical girl anime, most famously ''Sailor Moon''.

===Animation and technical errors===
* When Drift and Bumblebee ward off the planes, Drift has his Mini-Cons un-deployed. When it cuts to him swinging his swords, the Mini-Cons are no longer there. They return when Drift is ready to deploy them.

===Trivia===
* Far be it from us to question the Lord of Light, but one does wonder why Windblade wasn't awoken to help deal with the [[Darkness Rising|Terrorcon apocalypse]], [[One Shall Rise, Part 1|Unicron's reactivation]], or the [[Deadlock|potential obliteration of Earth's biosphere]]. However, it was previously implied in ''Prime'' (and various "Aligned" material), that Primus was dormant during the events of the Great War due to Dark Energon poisoning and was not revived until the core was purified after Megatron's defeat; therefore, he was unable to awaken Windblade until now.
**Later episodes ("[[Graduation Exercises]]", "[[Defrosted]]" and "[[Blurred]]") would seem to [[retcon]] this by implying that Windblade ''was'' active on Earth at some point in the past, before going into stasis. "[[Moon Breaker]]" would take this even a step further, with a line of dialogue implying she was active in other solar systems ''before that'', as she had at least one [[Plasma thermal accelerator module|cache]] on the moon, which she states was her "first cache in [Earth's] solar system".
* Strongarm brought up the fact that most of the ''Alchemor''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s prisoners resemble Earth animals, and how they share some of the same strengths and weaknesses.
* Like [[Filch]], Zizza is unusual among the Decepticons in this series, having a bestial alt-mode, rather than an animal-styled robot mode and a vehicle alt-mode. A handful more beast-moded characters would go on to appear as the series went on.
