==Grammar and formatting==
As you have now been told repeatedly, it is very important that you check your writing for correct grammar, including tenses and capitalisation. Correct formatting is also essential - place new fiction below existing material with a new heading. Storylinks are properly created like this: <nowiki>{{storylink|The Truth We Make}}</nowiki> If you aren't seen to put in the effort to ensure your work meets the wiki's standards, you run the risk of being blocked from editing - it isn't anybody else's job to clear up after you. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 05:20, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

== Spoiler protection ==

Tomorrow is the final chapter of "The Dying of the Light," and your recent editing behavior related to this comic suggests the first thing you will do upon reading it is come here and begin asking why we have not edited/changed/merged/deleted/whatever some articles. As this issue contains a ''huge'' spoiler, I cannot lock the relevant pages, because doing so will only flag up that they are the subject of the spoiler. To that end, I have given you a simple, one-day block to protect our users from seeing spoilers on the Recent Changes page caused by edits you are statistically likely to make. The changes will be made in due course, and some discussion will need to take place. If you can respond to this message letting me know you've seen it, that you understand, and that you won't do this, I'll happily lift the block, which will expire tomorrow evening anyway. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 15:46, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

== Recent behavior ==

You are not a Japanese speaker. Please stop copping an attitude over unremarkable Japanese renderings of English names, whether it's somebody questioning you or you demanding on talk pages for it to be added to the page. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 16:07, 7 June 2019 (EDT)

== Japanese names ==

Stop adding Japanese names when those characters have yet to appear in localized media. We all know you can't actually read it. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 21:25, 12 March 2020 (EDT)
* Then you know nothing of the japanese reprints which was released last month. https://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Transformers:_More_than_Meets_the_Eye#Japanese_Reprints

and even i know google can translate names like Krok and Crankcase to the proper japanese kanji.--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 21:31, 12 March 2020 (EDT)
:Neat. You still don't own those translations to confirm spellings (Google Translate is not a source) and the fact you refer to katakana as "kanji" shows that you're out of your depth here. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 21:33, 12 March 2020 (EDT)
:: Hey, let not bring Kana into this. (Kana mind you, are the syllabaries that form parts of the Japanese writing system), and by that logic, you have no proof i'm right. Not to mention the fact, Saixy, you were wrong in the fact those have yet to appear in japanese media.--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 21:39, 12 March 2020 (EDT)

Just to add to this, though I realize the discussion is a little old - foreign language names have to come from an official translation of the source material. Translating Rita to Japanese based on what Rita from Power Rangers doesn't work, because the actual Japanese translation of the comic may have given her a completely different name. You should only add a foreign name if you have access to the official translation and can make sure it's accurate. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 18:14, 29 June 2023 (EDT)

==Editing==
When you're editing pages, make sure your grammar and tense are up to snuff (like you've been told many times already), and don't just copy text verbatim from other pages. [[User:McBaggins|McBaggins]] ([[User talk:McBaggins|talk]]) 04:43, 3 July 2021 (EDT)

== Tense ==

When adding new content to character fiction sections, make sure you use past tense ("was"/"were"/"did"/etc.) instead of present. Present tense is only used for episode/issue/other story pages. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 22:44, 4 July 2021 (EDT)

:: ''You'' made those articles that didn't get filled in for days. Also, the last page you made had the wrong writer listed, didn't number any of the characters, got a few characters wrong, posted the link to the wrong episode, etc. Claiming you "filled in the information" doesn't hold much water when the information itself is wrong. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:23, 3 April 2022 (EDT)
::: I will grant you, that last page was EXTREMELY atrocious but i also acknowledge that when i posted it that it was NOT my best work, and considering the fact i continue to edit at it, suggest that i was fixing it up till i corrected all my mistakes. Granted i will also concede i should have waited longer till all the errors were sorted out before posting.--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 14:17, 3 April 2022 (EDT)

:''Rita is a human from the [[Marvel Comics continuity|Marvel portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:The Bridge to Nowhere! Charlie and Rita.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]
'''Rita''' is the partner of [[Charlie (Rita)|Charlie]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
Rita went with Charlie out for a quiet drive through the woods along the {{w|Columbia River Gorge}} in [[Oregon|Northern Oregon]]. As they were talking about the beauty of the area, they came across [[Space bridge|a decidedly odd bridge]] and Rita suggested they'd drive over it to the other side. However, Charlie had to hit the brakes halfway through, because half the bridge was missing. Much time to wonder the couple had not, as suddenly before them appeared [[Crosscut (Marvel)|"some kind of monster"]], which also instantly blew up. While Charlie immediately turned the car around to get away, Rita queried what kind of bridge only goes halfway across and has monsters materialize on it. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

:''Javelin is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Javelin-IDW.jpg|upright=1.45|thumb|If she were a ''Masters of the Universe'' character, her name would be spelled "Javel-Lyn".]]

'''Javelin''' has one eye but surprisingly-good aim. Despite suffering trauma, she works hard to overcome it if it means protecting her comrades.

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:Unicron1-JavelinVsGuiledart.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb]]
Born on [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], she was in a sorority on with [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] and [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]]. Years later, Javelin was celebrating [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]]'s pre-wake party with various members of the ''[[Lost Light]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s and ''[[Vis Vitalis]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crews. {{storylink|The Sensuous Frame}}

After returning to Caminus, Javelin fought against [[Guiledart]] in a vain attempt to defend her homeworld from [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. She was later seen among the many Camien refugees who were safely evacuated to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}}

{{-}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
{{first|[[The Change In Your Nature Part One|''Transformers'' #13]]}}
[[File:AllFallDown-Ratchet.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.6|]]
A sniper in [[Security Operations]], Javelin was called in to help box in [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]]' [[The Rise|Rise]] cell, who'd barricaded themselves within a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] corpse in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]]. As Javelin reported the situation to [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Kaskade]] shot her in the head. Though Javelin had survived the attack, albeit in bad condition, Chromia authorized the rest of Security Operations to breach the Titan. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] was still tending to her head wound some time later. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}}

[[File:Titans JavelinSnipe.jpg|upright=1.0|left|thumb|]]
After her repairs were complete, Javelin took part in the operation to reclaim the [[Senate]] building from the newly-christened "Decepticons". [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] complimented her return to action, but she seemed a bit distracted. When [[Clench (G1)|Clench]] turned a [[rail gun]] on retreating Autobots from atop the building, [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] ordered Javelin to counter-snipe him. However, she suffered a panic attack and froze up, unable to perform her duty. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}}

Still shaken from her near-death experience and blaming her inaction for the Autobot casualties suffered during the Senate attack, Javelin quit Security Operations. She asked [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] to join the (now-former) [[Senate Guard]] and he reassured Javelin that she was welcome despite whatever lingering self-doubt she had. Ironhide realigned the Guard's priority to protecting [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and they accompanied him to visit the [[Forge Pyramid]] and chat with [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]. When the Decepticons launched a massive assault on the Pyramid, Javelin saved some of her new teammates from [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] and provided cover fire as everyone was evacuated from the installation. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}}

[[File:SeaOfRustII JavelinVehicle.jpg|upright=1.2|right|thumb|Doesn't look like she can carry the entire Justice League...]]
Javelin was part of a detachment of Autobots that accompanied Optimus Prime to speak with [[Termagax]]. They set up a defensive position in front of [[House (building)|House]] against an imminent Decepticon attack. Javelin shared a foxhole with Ironhide, who encouraged her to keep firing as she sniped at oncoming enemies. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust II|Sea of Rust II}} Javelin survived the battle and regrouped with the others in the aftermath. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

When [[Firestar (G1)|Novastar]]'s strike team required a sniper to sub in for the absent [[Sureshot (G1)|Sureshot]], Javelin volunteered. She traveled with them to locate the [[Insecticon clone]] hive and after a little ribbing from [[Blades (G1)|Blades]], shot down one of the clones for acquisition. Novastar assured Javelin that she'd look out for her the same way Ironhide did and the team prepared for an attack on the Insecticon hive. {{storylink|Radical Time}}

[[File:EndOfTime JavelinCromar.jpg|upright=1.5|left|thumb|]]
Successfully infiltrating the hive, Javelin and the others went hunting for [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] in order to gain control of the clone swarm. Novastar again checked on Javelin's mental well-being and the sniper assured her that she was fine. After noting the hive was suspiciously quiet, Novastar was stunned when Javelin opened fire down a hallway to the group's rear, revealing an incoming mass of Insecticlones. Calling [[Cromar]] to combine with her for more firepower, Javelin told Novastar and [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] to go on ahead as she took on the horde. She put up a ferocious fight and managed to escape and link up with her comrades later after they had secured Bombshell, completing the mission. {{storylink|End of Time|End of Time}}

Javelin returned to the ranks of the Prime Guard to defend [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] when the Decepticons attacked it to prevent the Autobots from leaving the planet. At the height of conflict, she and several of her comrades were infused with the power of the [[Enigma of Combination]], merging with the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] into an enlarged [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. This super-combiner held off the Decepticons until Darkmount's residents managed to blast off and depart Cybertron. Defeated and de-combined, Javelin and the others were taken into Decepticon custody, satisfied with having given their comrades a future out among the stars. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}
{{--}}

==Notes==
*[[Alex Milne]] designed Javelin to have one eye because having one eye is cool, not due to being a victim of [[Empurata]].
*Although Alex Milne designed Javelin with an aircraft alternate mode, she was never shown transforming in [[2005 IDW continuity|IDW's original ''Transformers'' continuity]]. As a result, when she reappeared in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|rebooted universe]], [[Anna Malkova]] depicted her with a ground vehicle alternate mode instead. <ref> [https://twitter.com/markerguru/status/1490097893889515524 Alex Milne on Twitter]</ref>

:''Kaskade is a pre-[[Decepticon]] from the [[2019 IDW continuity|2019 IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

A sniper, '''Kaskade''' is cautious about getting captured by the authorities for being an [[Decepticon|Ascenticon]] extremist.

==Fiction==
===2019 IDW continuity===
Kaskade joined her cell leader [[Ruckus (G1)|Ruckus]] along with [[Wirespike]] and [[Lowload (G1)|Lowload]] in an attempt to siphon [[energon]] from a remote [[Energon transmission station]] following the destruction of [[The Rise]] base underneath the [[Memorial Crater]]. She was the only one worried about getting caught by the [[Security Operations]], pointing out that things could go drastically wrong, like the incident with Brainstorm. Her fears were confirmed as [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] was shown waiting for them and it was only due to Lowload that they weren't captured. The four Ascenticons managed to escape and fled to a Rise fallback position in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]], where they accessed a hidden cache of weaponry to defend their new position inside the head of an immersant [[Titan (group)|Titan]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part One}}

More officers were called in to deal with the burgeoning standoff. Despite Ruckus ordering her not to attack, Kaskade was the one who sniped [[Javelin]], justifying it by saying Javelin was looking at her funny. Finally, Ascenticon senator [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] arrived to negotiate safe passage for the four bots, believing them to be simple criminals; however, Ruckus stupidly let slip some important details about Barricade's escape. When it became clear that the four 'bots ''couldn't'' fall into Autobot custody, Soundwave was forced to double cross the quartet and detonated the Titan's head. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} Only Ruckus and Kaskade managed to survive. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}} [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] diagnosed them later, saying that while they had spark flickers, they had no mental activity and were left in a comatose state. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down}} They remained as such long after the Autobots abandoned [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], with [[Flatline (G1)|Flatline]] continuing to monitor them. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}} As fate would have it, Kaskade was passed over by [[Exarchon]] in [[Provoke]]'s body; instead, the Threefold Spark was reborn in the bodies of Ruckus and Flatline. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

:''Apelinq is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts]] portion of the [[Movie continuity family]].''

[[File:ROTB-Apelinq.jpg|thumb|300px|"Apes, together....strong."]]

'''Apelinq''', a big gorilla who wields arm blades in battle, was the Maximal leader before [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]].

==Fiction==
===''Rise of the Beasts'' film===
{{Spoiler|Rise of the Beasts|July 9}}
{{Voiceactor|[[David Sobolov]] (English)|[[Kőrösi András]] (Hungarian), [[Féodor Atkine]] (European French), [[Dario Oppido]] (Italian), [[Oliver Stritzel]] (German), [[Vanderlan Mendes]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[Héctor Estrada]] (Latin American Spanish)}}

[[File:ApelinqVsScourge.jpg|thumb|300px|left|If me and King Kong went into an alley, only one of us would come out. And it wouldn’t be the monkey.]]
Apelinq was the leader of the Maximals on their homeworld—until [[Unicron]] showed up. In addition to wanting to consume their planet, Unicron also wanted the [[Transwarp Key]] that the Maximals had been guarding. To prevent it from falling into the hands of the [[Terrorcon (ROTB)|Terrorcons]], Apelinq entrusted it to [[Optimus Primal (ROTB)|Optimus Primal]] and named him the new leader of the Maximals. Apelinq instructed Primal to flee with the Transwarp Key and remained behind to stall [[Scourge (ROTB)|Scourge]]. The Terrorcon leader made quick work of him, stabbing him and blasting a hole through his torso, but Apelinq taunted his killer to the end that Unicron would never get the Transwarp Key. His body was presumably consumed when the Maximal homeworld was subsequently devoured by Unicron. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|Rise of the Beasts}}
{{--}}

==Notes==
* Apelinq was confirmed to be in the film by accident; about a month before the film was released, the Hungarian voice cast was announced, and it included Apelinq. A few days before release, his English voice actor David Sobolov confirmed on Instagram that he was voicing Apelinq in the film.
* Much like his [[Apelinq (BM)|original counterpart]], Apelinq's body is a recolored and modified version of Optimus Primal's, sporting a different snout, orange [[Sensors|optics]], some fur on the top of his head, and the aforementioned arm blades.

Mnemosurgery

2023-06-07T15:44:50Z

Projectus: Thank you DeepL

[[File:Chromedome mnemosurgery ChaosOfWarmThings.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|"Ooh! Ooh! Do me next!"]]
'''Mnemosurgery''' is a technique by which one [[Transformer]] can enter the mind of another, viewing the subject's memories and giving the mnemosurgeon the ability to "edit" said memories, even to the point where the subject's personality is completely rewritten. The procedure is accomplished via spikes extending from the mnemosurgeon's fingers, which are typically inserted into the subject's neck. The surgical scars fortunately only show up under ultraviolet light. Mnemosurgery can sometimes lead to surgeons experiencing flashbacks—reliving inherited memories from the minds they've worked on.

{{quote|It is the fate of every mnemosurgeon to '''die on the job'''—a victim of their addiction. We '''know''' when death is near: we can '''feel''' it creeping closer—but never close enough to make us '''stop'''. The fatal injection is always the '''next''' injection—until one day it '''isn't'''.|[[Sunder (G1)|Sunder]]|[[Speak, Memory! (Part 2)]]}}

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:Chromedome notices hands Patternism.jpg|thumb|left|They use the same syringe gloves as the Scarecrow. It only gets worse from here.]]
Mnemosurgery was an inherently dangerous profession with a high mortality rate—most mnemosurgeons died young. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}} Entering traumatic memories could be traumatic in turn for the surgeon, and those who performed too many operations ran the risk of inheriting memories from their subjects and suffering painful flashbacks. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 3: The Chaos of Warm Things|The Chaos of Warm Things}} {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}} In particular, doing a "deep reading" on a living subject could kill an incautious mnemosurgeon. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}}

Trainee mnemosurgeons practiced with finger-drills before they got the signature finger-needles. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}}

Mnemosurgery was used by the [[Institute]] as a component of [[Shadowplay]]—altering the minds of enemies of the corrupt [[Senate]]. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}} When [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]] later set up the "New Institute", Tumbler was recruited to study under the mnemosurgeon [[Trepan]] and eventually adopted the name [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]]. [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] attacked the New Institute, abducting Trepan so he could learn the basics of mnemosurgery. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}} Chromedome would go on to use the technique on himself, to erase the memories of those he had lost during the war. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}}

[[File:Trepan megatron births deaths and interventions.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8]]
[[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s early anti-[[Functionism|Functionist]] writings concerned the Senate enough to order his Shadowplay, dispatching Trepan to carry it out. [[Rung (G1)|Rung]]'s interruption halted the operation only moments after it began, but the experience left Megatron with a lasting fear of mnemosurgery. {{storylink|Births, Deaths, and Interventions}}

Chromedome would continue to use mnemosurgery, despite his [[Conjunx Endura]] [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]] not approving. He utilized it during the autopsy of [[Skyfall (G1)|Skyfall]], reliving Skyfall's suicide by [[Gideon's Glue]]. {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}} When [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] attempted to blackmail Chromedome, the latter simply used mnemosurgery to wipe the unwanted knowledge from Prowl's mind as well as any memory of the blackmail attempt. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}}

While on the ''[[Lost Light]]'', Chromedome interfaced with [[Shock (G1)|Shock]] to extract the deceased [[Autobot]]'s last memories of the [[Sparkeater (creature)|Sparkeater]]. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 3: The Chaos of Warm Things|The Chaos of Warm Things}} Though he was increasingly experiencing false memory recall, he would go on to interface with a [[Titan (group)|Titan]] beneath [[Crystal City]], {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}} and at [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]'s request, Chromedome unsuccessfully attempted to use mnemosurgery to unlock Skids's lost memories. {{storylink|Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|Who's Afraid of the DJD?}}

[[File:RemembranceDay-Chromedome.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
Chromedome used his mnemosurgery skills on Overlord, whom had been smuggled on board the ''Lost Light'' for precisely that purpose. Chromedome succeeded in learning the secret of creating [[Phase Sixer]]s, however Overlord's own mnemosurgery knowledge allowed the Decepticon to turn the tables, taking control of the procedure so he could learn the code to open the [[slow cell]] in which he'd been imprisoned. {{storylink|Remembrance Day}} Chromedome had, however, left a present in Overlord's mind, embedding a mnemonic through a process known as "[[Trepan's Trigger]]", that caused Overlord to panic when he heard the phrase "[['Til all are one]]". The trigger allowed the Autobots to defeat Overlord. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}}

Chromedome subsequently intended to erase his own memories of Rewind, who had been one of the casualties of Overlord's rampage, however a final message from Rewind caused him to change his mind (or not change his mind, technically). {{storylink|The Gloaming}}

[[File:AllOurParlousYesterdays MnemoHandshake.jpg|upright=1.0|thumb|right]]
As a precaution to avoid changing the timeline after traveling into the past, Chromedome modified his mnemosurgery equipment to work through a simple handshake. The handshake would carry out a simple operation to wipe the other person's short-term memories. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}}

[[Getaway]] got his hands on a set of clip-on mnemosurgery needles and gifted them to [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] as part of their [[Conjunx Endura|Conjunx Ritus]]. These needles were fakes, intended only to trigger violence from the mnemophobic Megatron. {{storylink|The Lopsided Triangle}}

The art of mnemosurgery survived on the colony world of [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukaris]] with the [[Fateweaver]] [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] using it to attack members of the other tribes in her scientific attempts to expand her group's power. As a result of her deeds, she was banished from her homeworld. {{storylink|The Price of You}} When Eukaris made contact with Cybertron, Airachnid fell into [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s employ, using her talents to try and gleam the location of [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]'s body. {{storylink|07:00:00}}

When Swindle turned up as part of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Airachnid seized on the opportunity to alter the memories of all five [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] to make them loyal to Starscream. {{storylink|The Price of You}} She later used her talents to bridge the minds of Starscream and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] so that the two jets could defeat [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Your First Mistake}} Starscream later confessed to the deeds he'd had Airachnid perform, resulting in her imprisonment. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

====Remote mnemosurgery====
Remote mnemosurgery is the ability to perform mnemosurgery telepathically, without the spikes or indeed any kind of physical contact whatsoever. [[Sunder (G1)|Sunder]] is the only mnemosurgeon known to possess this particular skill, having developed it somehow after his arrest. It may, in fact, be unique to him. Though he was convinced that performing remote mnemosurgery required him to make visual contact with his victims, this was evidently a ruse on [[Froid]]'s part, who encouraged Sunder's delusion in order to keep him under control. {{storylink|Speak, Memory: Part 1}}

When his reign over the ''Lost Light'' began to falter, Getaway hired Sunder to remotely alter the crew's memories of the mutiny against [[Team Rodimus]] and more readily bring them under his control. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 2): Filling in the Blanks|Filling in the Blanks}} {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}} Following Froid and Sunder's recruitment by the [[Adaptus|Grand Architect]], [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Scorponok]] ordered the latter to use his powers to discover their master's identity. The attempt backfired with the Architect managing to not only force Sunder out but strip him of all his mnemosurgeonic powers. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
A creepy mnemosurgeon called [[Vampire (BWU)|Vampire]] worked for the [[Predacon Secret Police]]. After [[Stiletto (BW)|Stiletto]] was left traumatized from killing her partner, the [[Maximal Command Security Force|MCSF]] packed her off to the Mandala to have her memories altered by him. {{storylink|Burning Bridges}}

After "recruiting" [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]] and his [[Minion of Unicron (BW)|Minions of Unicron]] into the [[Darksyder]]s, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] had [[Psychobat (BWU)|Psychobat]] perform a little mnemosurgery on him to make sure he didn't get any "ideas". A short while later, [[Packrat]] noted Cryotek was acting a little off, but wasn't overly concerned. {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}

Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon

2022-12-05T16:29:14Z

Projectus: /* HasLab */

[[Image:LivingMetalDestroyingCannon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Say hello to my leetle friend!]]
The '''Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon''' (金属生命破壊砲 ''Kinzoku Seimei Hakai Hō'') is the personal weapon of [[Decepticon]] [[Emperor of Destruction]] [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]. For maximum destructive effect, the cannon links up with Deathsaurus's own systems and runs on his personal energy supply. A fully-charged blast erodes any metal—even the [[living metal]]lic cells of [[Transformer|super-robot lifeforms]]—leaving any opponent dead or dying.

It was destroyed a few times too; whether Deathsaurus has more than one or it can be easily repaired is unknown, though since no other Transformer has one, the latter appears more likely.

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' cartoon===
Returning to [[Earth]] after a mission to the [[Dark Nebula]] to re-energize his trapped fortress, Deathsaurus clashed with [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] in an outer space battle and unveiled the Living Metal-Destroying Cannon for the first time. He first employed it in his creature mode, but soon transformed to robot mode to link the gun to himself. After a few impressive blasts, the villain had Star Saber dead to rights, but when he pulled the trigger, he realized that he had expended his energy reserves powering up his fortress, leaving him unable to deliver the killing shot. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}}

Later, during another battle on Earth, Deathsaurus ''did'' manage to off someone with the cannon, except it was [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]], rather than Star Saber. And he [[Victory Leo|got rebuilt]], anyway. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}}

He used it again in a battle against a very wounded Star Saber to stop him from foiling one of his plans to get energy for his fortress. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}}

The massive cannon was used in Deathsaurus's final battle with Star Saber; Deathsaurus managed to get in three deadly shots before his gun was destroyed by a laser barrage from his opponent. But ''none'' of those blasts hit, though the last one did destroy Star Saber's own gun. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

===''Victory'' comic===
[[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] first unleashed his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon in battle against the new [[Autobot]] warrior, [[Victory Leo]]. The blast had no effect on Victory Leo, as his [[gurunium]] armor shielded him from the cannon's effects. {{storylink|The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!}}

Deathsaurus whipped out his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon in his final confrontation with Star Saber, hovering in space just outside the [[Planet-Destroying Fortress|Decepticon Space Stronghold]]. Star Saber dodged the blast, but as Deathsaurus had his back turned, the treacherous [[Leozack]] shot him with the laser gun from the Space Stronghold. Injured and enraged, Deathsaurus turned his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon on the Space Stronghold, damaging it badly. {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

:''Deathsaurus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[File:Deathsaurus1.jpg|325px|thumb|Spell it right or you're kickbanned, buster.]]

'''Deathsaurus''' (デスザラス ''Desuzarasu'')<ref>Also known as '''Deszaras''', '''Dezarus''', and '''Dessaras''', among others. Listen, it's [[Deathsaurus (G1)#Name|a whole thing]].</ref> began terrorizing the galaxy long before ascending to the position of Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction]]. For thousands of years, this savage and cruel dictator has spread terror throughout the universe, and has now set his sights upon the Earth as a source of energy to power his terrifying superweapon, the [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. And if [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] should get in his way, so much the better: Deathsaurus bears the Autobot [[Supreme Commander]] a bitter grudge, and relishes any opportunity to destroy him that presents itself.

Deathsaurus is a [[Breastforce]] warrior, partnered with two transforming chestplates that become the [[Breast Animal]]s [[Tigerbreast]] and [[Eaglebreast]]. He wields a deadly spiked flail, and the [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]], which erodes the living metallic cells of super-robot lifeforms. The bladed wings of his creature mode absorb sunlight, converting it into dark energy, and he can then launch these energized blades at his opponents in an attack known as his "Death Wing". Despite all of these terrifying powers, however, Deathsaurus is a surprisingly "hands off" leader, who is perfectly happy to allow his subordinates to formulate their own plans and schemes to gather energy for him—but if they should fail, he'll always be there to berate and brutalize them. Even when the plans are his own, Deathsaurus is content to watch and command from a distance, rather than dirty his own hands—but he'll rarely waste a chance to engage Star Saber on the battlefield, and if that occurs, woe betide anyone who gets in Deathsaurus's way.

Not without a soft side, Deathsaurus permits himself one distinctive, unusual foible: although he despises most humans, he has a surprising soft spot for children. He is also husband to [[Esmeral (G1)|Esmeral]], who resides in the Planet-Destroying Fortress.

[[File:Deathsaurus fortress.jpg|left|thumb|225px|By the power of Grayskull!]]

500,000 years ago, striving to become the Decepticons' new Emperor of Destruction, Deathsaurus created a gigantic battle fortress capable of destroying planets, but an attack by the young Autobot commander Star Saber saw the fortress de-powered and trapped in a gravity cell at the heart of the region of space known as [[Dark Nebula]]. This began the enmity between Star Saber and Deathsaurus, and as both combatants rose through the ranks of their respective armies, Deathsaurus vowed to eventually liberate his fortress and use it to destroy Star Saber. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}}

[[File:Deszaras Victory Intro.jpg|thumb|225px|Form Blazing Sword!]]

Some years prior to 2025, after the conclusion of the [[Masterforce War]] on Earth, Deathsaurus succeeded [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] as Decepticon leader and achieved his dream of becoming Emperor of Destruction. {{storylink|#Toys|Deathsaurus's ''Victory'' toy bio}} Under his command, the Decepticons began seeking a planet that they could call their own and invaded worlds all across the galaxy. To counteract Deathsaurus's campaign of terror, the Autobots—now with Star Saber serving as their Supreme Commander—and many other sentient races formed the [[Galactic Peace Alliance]], and struck back at the Decepticons with their [[Galactic Peace Alliance|Galactic Defense Force]]. As time passed and this conflict continued, Deathsaurus began focusing his attacks on "Sector One" of the galaxy, containing the planet Earth, until 2025, when the severity and frequency of the attacks forced Star Saber to take command of the Defense Force unit in that area himself. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}}

[[File:Deathsaurus starsaber moonbattle.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Parry on regardless.]]

When Deathsaurus's [[Dinoforce]] attacked the [[Lunar Base (Victory)|Lunar Base]] on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Star Saber raced to aid his fellow [[Brainmaster]]s in battle there, only to find his way barred by Deathsaurus. Hoping to distract Star Saber long enough for the Dinoforce to finish their job, Deathsaurus engaged his old foe in battle, but Star Saber broke off the fight as quickly as he could and headed on toward the moon with Deathsaurus hot on his heels. After Star Saber defeated the Dinoforce, Deathsaurus caught up to him and unleashed his Breast Animals upon the Autobot in both beast and weapon forms. Star Saber eventually won out, defeating both the creatures and besting Deathsaurus in a swordfight, forcing the Decepticon leader to summon up his craft, the ''[[Thunder Arrow]],'' and flee aboard it. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}}

[[File:Deathsaurus throne.jpg|right|thumb|225px|THRONE'D!]]

Recognizing the Earth as a rich source of energy that he could use to power up his Planet-Destroying Fortress, Deathsaurus centered most of his subsequent attacks on the planet, summoning the Breastforce to aid in the campaign. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}} {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}} {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} Deathsaurus was entirely aware of the fact that the Breastforce's leader [[Leozack]] had designs on leadership of the Decepticons for himself, {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}} but he was amused enough by it to let him slide by, allowing Leozack to believe that he was oblivious to his schemes. Residing on the Thunder Arrow as it hopscotched around the planet and solar system, Deathsaurus was content to watch as his troops staged numerous attacks on Earth. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} {{storylink|Explosion!! The Energy Base}}

[[File:Deathsaurus beastmode.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Not to be confused with the [[w:Robot Chicken|Adult Swim]] show of the same name.]]

Deathsaurus finally decided to join his troops on a mission when the Decepticon began draining electrical energy from an American subway system. While the Breastforce snuck through the subway tunnels, Deathsaurus himself targeted the power distribution center, where he was confronted by Star Saber. The true cunning of Deathsaurus's scheme was revealed when he let loose his Breast Animals, and Star Saber proved no match for the creatures in the small confines of the underground complex. Unfortunately for Deathsaurus, he had overlooked the fact that with both Breast Animals deployed, his own chest was left unprotected, leaving it open to an attack from Star Saber's Saber Blade. Wounded, Deathsaurus recalled his Breast Animals and fled, but not without successfully taking the energy he had managed to steal beforehand. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}

When the Breastforce were joined by [[Hellbat (G1)|Hellbat]], the newcomer also adopted designs on the Decepticon throne. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} Deathsaurus was even less concerned with Hellbat's ambitions than he was with Leozack's, though, since the two would-be traitors were always too busy fighting with each other to pose a serious threat to him. In their constant games of one-upmanship, Leozack and Hellbat crafted numerous failed schemes of their own, eventually forcing Deathsaurus to step in and give his minions a mission of his own devising. Deathsaurus had the Decepticons hide in the asteroid belt and capture human shuttlecraft in order to use drain their energy and use them to create an energy alloy. Star Saber soon got wise to the villains' evildoings and arrived to put a stop to them, but again, Deathsaurus successfully escaped with his amassed energy. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

[[File:Starsaber living metal destroying cannon.jpg|right|thumb|Say hello to my little friend...]]

While the Breastforce were busy on planet [[Micro]], Deathsaurus and the Dinoforce took the Thunder Arrow into the Dark Nebula, where Deathsaurus emptied his stockpile of energy into his inactive fortress. The giant structure briefly flared back to life, but soon shut down once more; Deathsaurus was unfazed, having only sought to confirm whether or not the fortress could even be reactivated. On the trip back to Earth, the Decepticons crossed paths with Star Saber and the [[Rescue Patrol Team]], and Deathsaurus engaged Star Saber in battle with his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon. Although Deathsaurus was actually able to pull the trigger on what would have been a fatal blast, he discovered that he had expended too much of his energy supply reactivating his fortress, and his weapons systems shut down before he could end Star Saber's life, necessitating his tactical withdrawal. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}}

[[File:Deathsaurus vs leozack.jpg|thumb|left|Tell me, what was the color of Napoleon's White horse?]]

Deathsaurus next clashed with Star Saber in Antarctica, only stepping onto the battlefield after the Breastforce, combined as [[Liokaiser]], had severely weakened Star Saber. Deathsaurus took over the fight, intent on being the one to deliver the final blow, but Star Saber was able to turn the battle around, and forced Deathsaurus into retreat. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} In a later battle atop the Thunder Arrow, deep in the desert, Star Saber again humbled Deathsaurus, this time with the aid of [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]], but the fight left both the Supreme Commander and [[Blacker]] badly wounded. {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} Capitalizing on the Autobots' reduced manpower, Deathsaurus stepped up the Decepticons' attacks across the planet, and removed another annoyance by finally calling Leozack out on his treachery. Easily besting the traitorous Breastforcer in combat, Deathsaurus forced him to swear total loyalty to him, or face death. Leozack made the logical choice, and then, combined with his fellow Breastforcers as Liokaiser, joined with his leader in staging an ambush for Star Saber in a subterranean cave in Asia. Disguising himself as a Terracotta Army-esque statue, Deathsaurus was able to get the drop on Star Saber when Liokaiser lured him into the cave, and again unleashed the Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon on his enemy. Once more, Deathsaurus stood poised to kill Star Saber with the weapon, until the last-minute arrival of [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]], who took the fatal shot. Liokaiser had to persuade the incensed Deathsaurus to retreat as more Autobots arrived, {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} but the Decepticon leader soon clashed with Star Saber once more in a later battle at a solar power station. Deathsaurus emerged victorious in that fight when Star Saber was forced to flee upon receiving news of Ginrai's deteriorating condition. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} Ginrai's life was saved, however, when he was rebuilt into the powerful new warror, Victory Leo. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}}

[[File:Victory33 finishhim.jpg|thumb|225px]]

Next, Deathsaurus began bombarding the Earth with missiles from an orbital weapons platform, as a means of staying the Autobots' hands while his forces gathered energy across the planet. Star Saber and Victory Leo were able to thwart his plan by combining into the mighty Victory Saber; Deathsaurus's missile launch system had been programmed based on Star Saber's speed, but with the added power of Victory Leo, the Autobot hero was able to outrace the missiles, destroy the launcher and defeat Deathsaurus in an outer space battle. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}}

[[File:Victory37 finalblow.jpg|left|thumb|Who says robots don't bleed?]]

Following an attempt to destroy the Autobots with the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects, {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}} Deathsaurus was informed by Hellbat that he had discovered the location of the sunken continent of [[Atlantis]], which could provide the raw energy to reactivate his fortress. Deathsaurus risked all or nothing to obtain Atlantis's energy, using up the Thunder Arrow's entire energy stockpile to raise the continent, but the plan proved a success, as the Autobots were too busy dealing with the devastating tidal waves caused by the rise of Atlantis to stop him from absconding with enough energy to bring his fortress back online. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} Having no further use for the bumbling Dinoforce, Deathsaurus abandoned them on Earth and headed back to the Dark Nebula with the Breastforce, where he successfully re-energized his fortress and began moving it towards Earth. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}}

[[File:Victory37 deadsaurus.jpg|thumb|With my last breath, I curse Zoidberg!]]

Intent on learning from the failures of all past Decepticon leaders, Deathsaurus chose not to conquer Earth, but to utterly destroy the planet, eradicting from Decepticon history the humiliating stain of defeat the planet represented. As the fortress rained destruction down upon Earth with meteor bombs, even Victory Saber could not stand up to its power. Soon, however, a resentful Dinoforce supplied information on the fortress's weak spot to Star Saber's adopted human son, [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]], who then used his own [[Illumina II|personal mech]] to enter the fortress and strike at this vulnerability. As he did so, Deathsaurus and Star Saber engaged in a vicious final battle, during which Deathsaurus lost an eye, and was eventually stopped when Star Saber broke his sword off in the villain's chest. Gushing fuel and fluid, Deathsaurus vowed to have the last laugh as he set the crippled fortress on a collision course with Earth and blew himself out an airlock, vowing to return again and again. But, as his body drifted off into space, no sign of life was visible from the conquered emperor. Victory Saber was able to subsequently destroy the fortress before it collided with Earth, but Deathsaurus was not heard from again. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

This time, it was a full-on assault on planet [[Micro|Zone]] in an attempt to seize the Micro Zone's [[Energon Z]].

[[File:MangaYoungDeathyStarSaber.jpg|left|thumb|225px|"Come back here and help me put some sense in this image!"]]
Deathsaurus and Star Saber's rivalry began 500,000 years ago when they were both children, and according to Star Saber, "argued all the time". {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} In his "adult" years, Deathsaurus took [[Esmeral (G1)|Esmeral]] as his wife, and in order to keep both her and the families of his fellow Decepticons safe aboard his "Space Stronghold", Deathsaurus began attacking Earth, in order to obtain the planet's energy and use it to keep the stronghold fully powered-up. {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

During one of his early attacks on Earth, Deathsaurus took pity on an infant human named [[Solon Kitakaze (G1)|Solon Kitakaze]], whose parents had died in the assault. Deathsaurus "adopted" Solon and turned him into a cyborg, raising him as his own son, just as Star Saber did with the human child Jan Minakaze. As Star Saber and Deathsaurus had been rivals in their youth, so too would Solon and Jan become rivals when, in 2025, Deathsaurus's campaign against Earth intensified.

Deathsaurus and Star Saber's first major battle in this campaign was a brief one, with Deathsaurus being felled by a single swipe of Star Saber's Saber Blade, {{storylink|So Cool! Our Ally, Star Saber!}} but the Emperor of Destruction had a better showing in their next clash, during which he absorbed enough energy from a forest fire to best Star Saber, Road Caesar and Landcross all together. Deathsaurus's unusual compassion for children proved to be his downfall in this battle when he was distracted by the sight of Solon, gripping Jan in a hold that threatened the boy's life. While Deathsaurus's attention was occupied with striking Solon as punishment, Star Saber blindsided and defeated him with a Super Saber Meteor Spin. {{storylink|Great Reversal! Star Saber}}

Deathsaurus later sent Solon to study in school on Earth, in order to learn more about humans, thereby making it easier to conquer them. {{storylink|Leozack's Rampage!}} While Solon was on Earth, he and Jan were approached by former Autobot human allies [[Shūta Gō]] and [[Cab (human)|Cab]], {{storylink|Star Saber, Warrior of Love!}} and with Jan, they formed the "Autobot Boy Team" known as the [[Victories]]. Seeking to counter this group with a team of his own, Deathsaurus had [[Yokuryu]] capture Jan and bring him to the ''Thunder Arrow'', where he attempted to bribe the boy into joining the Decepticons' group with toys, a [[Family Computer|Famicom]], candy and cash. When an enraged Star Saber soon came tearing into the ''Thunder Arrow'', Deathsaurus crossed swords with the Autobot leader, but was then distracted by Jan distracting who exploited the Decepticon's bizarre fear of caterpillars by dangling one in his face. The cowering Deathsaurus was promptly bested in dramatically explosive fashion by Star Saber's "Planetary Impulse Sword" technique, and realised with hindsight that Solon was the only kid he needed. {{storylink|Danger, Jan! Hurry, Star Saber!}} Deathsaurus was apparently left so badly injured by this clash that he couldn't participate in the next battle, given that he was only seen lying in bed, coughing, with Solon resting a giant ice-pack on his head. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}}

[[File:Kingsaurus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The mighty Kingsaurus. Mighty.]]

Rested and healthy again, Deathsaurus joined with [[Dinoking]] and Liokaiser in going up against Star Saber together, and perhaps not entirely surprisingly, the badly outnumbered Autobot was defeated by the three Decepticons. Before they could deliver the killing stroke, however, Star Saber was saved by the sudden arrival of Victory Leo, with whom he combined to form Victory Saber. The merged pair defeated the trio of Decepticons in one blast of their "Flash Victory" attack. {{storylink|The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!}} Deathsaurus immediately sought out away to combat Star Saber's new power, and developed a Transformer-sized mech for Solon named "King Solon," with which he could combine to form "Kingsaurus". In this new form, Deathsaurus battled Victory Saber on the planet [[Guard]], with neither combatant getting the upper hand in over three hours of fighting. When [[Patty Minakaze]]'s mentioned the word "mother", however, something of Solon's past was stirred in the boy's mind, and he was distracted long enough for Victory Saber to destroy the King Solon mech components with his Victory. The burning Solon tumbled to the ground, where Patty tended his wounds despite his protestations. Perhaps wary of Solon's confused emotional state, Deathsaurus reminded him that while he was a human child, he was a Decepticon's son by fate. {{storylink|Victory Saber Is Strong!}}

[[File:Starsaber deathsaurus truce.jpg|left|225px|thumb|"So, we both agree that the childhood friendship thingie made no sense at all?" "Yes! Oh, what a glorious day!"]]

As it turned out, Deathsaurus was right to be wary—in the midst of a later battle with Star Saber and Road Caesar, Solon turned against Deathsaurus and sided with the Victories, opening fire on his "father" and declaring that he would fight to protect the Earth, instead of destroy it. Now with Solon on their side, the Victories were able to channel their power into the Autobots, and the Decepticons were sent fleeing by the "Five Stars of Victory" attack. {{storylink|Shine, Five Stars of Victory}} Deathsaurus led the Decepticons back to the Space Stronghold and began bombarding the Earth with meteor bombs, prompting the Autobots to attack it. Deathsaurus left the Breastforce to man the fortress while he engaged Star Saber in a final battle in the void of space, but had not reckoned with the treachery of Leozack, who fired on his emperor with the fortress's main cannon. To save himself, Deathsaurus was forced to return fire on the fortress, and Star Saber followed suite, smashing into the fortress's control chamber and taking Leozack down. As Leozack begged the Autobots not to destroy the fortress, the wounded Deathsaurus arrived and revealed to the Autobots the presence of the Decepticons' families aboard the vessel. After his wife, Esmeral, explained to the Autobots that the Decepticons had only done what they had in the name of their families' safety, Star Saber decided that it was time for the two leaders to follow the example set by their sons and lay down their arms. Deathsaurus and Star Saber shook hands, and the [[Victory War]] came to an end, bringing peace to everyone—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

Deathsaurus was an [[Destron (G1)|ancient Transformer]] from Cybertron's lost past. While searching for clues about the planet's history, Megatron stumbled across a hidden chamber beneath the planet's surface containing two massive statues of Deathsaurus and [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]], holding a [[Golden Disk (ancient)|golden disk]] between them. This chamber apparently told of a vast Cybertronian Empire that ended prior to recorded history. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

Towards the end of the Great War, the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]] worked under Deathsaurus as a supply manager. When the final defeat of the Decepticons at last came, Cryotek led his fellow Predacon workers in a rebellion against Deathsaurus, and used the materials he stole from his depot to begin his own criminal empire. {{storylink|Transformers Collectors' Club|Cryotek's "Theft of the Golden Disk" profile}}

Years later, using a clone lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]], Deathsaurus wished to revive the fading [[Decepticon Empire]] with a vast [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] army. After the first batch of [[Virulent Clone|clones]] was completed, his operation was interrupted by a team of [[Autobot]] commandos under the command of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. Deathsaurus overpowered and captured the first wave himself, and soon faced Ironhide one-on-one, while [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] attempted to rescue the fallen Autobots. Due to the assistance of Tripredacus Agent [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], these two were defeated and captured as well.

They woke up bound inside Deathsaurus's clone lab. The Emperor of Destruction appeared on a television screen, declaring that his use for the lab was completed and was prepared to detonate it remotely with the Autobots inside. Unfortunately for Deathsaurus, the Autobot espionage agent [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]] not only freed the Autobots before the explosion occurred, but also seeded the remaining clones with a virus, leaving Deathsaurus with nothing to show for his work. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}

===''Wings Universe''===
Deathsaurus's origins are unknown, but he quickly rose within the ranks of the Decepticons after the uprisings began. He established himself as one of the fourteen leading [[Decepticon Warlord|Warlord]]s in the Decepticon cause and gathered a small inner circle of followers including [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]], [[Vanquish]], and [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 34|Deathsaurus's profile in Club magazine #34}} He had managed to recruit the latter as his personal servant by promising to aid Lyzack in liberating her [[Leozack|brother]] from the Autobots. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 40|Lyzack's profile in Club magazine #40}} Deathsaurus preferred to lead from his throne room, directing others to carry out his strategies from a distance. He accumulated a great deal of ill-gotten wealth from his forces' assaults on high-ranking generals and aristocrats in the Autobot hierarchy, while carrying on his own experiments into the areas of [[Triple Changer|multiple alternate modes]] and [[Combiner|combination technology]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 34|Deathsaurus's profile in Club magazine #34}}

Following a raid against the Autobot general [[Traachon]], Deathsaurus sat in his throne room enjoying the fruit of his labors, and the finest oil reserves from the good general's private stash. He updated himself on [[Rage (G1)|Rage]]'s final fate at [[Median]] thanks to his deep cover source, [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flip Sides]]. Reviewing the details of the conflict with the [[Elite Guard]], a plan began to form in his diabolical processor regarding the reported victors, the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

[[File:TheComingStorm4-LordDeathsaurus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2.2|He wasn't quite sure whether he was hiring [[Leozack]] or [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]] to serve him drinks.]]

Seeing the possibility of swaying the Combaticons to his cause, Deathsaurus had [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and his men captured and brought to his headquarters. In his throne room Deathsaurus wove a complicated web of deceit, half-truths, and temptations to bring the Elite Guardsmen under his control. [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] were easy, as their respective greed and love of fine oil was easy to satisfy. To earn their trust, Deathsaurus offered to fix up the Combaticons' armor due to the "mistaken" injuries they suffered at the hands of his soldiers, and he also offered to upgrade them in the process. The lonely [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] was quick to jump at the idea of having both land and space modes, letting him remain active and useful on the ground. [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]'s anger could not be easily cooled, so Deathsaurus merely redirected it, suggesting the Combaticons could not fight properly without the Elite Guard backing them up. After that comment, Brawl was more than willing to fight the Elite Guard to prove he was tougher.

Onslaught was the most difficult to manipulate, and so Deathsaurus appealed to his pride, intimating that Onslaught's strategic skill had waned since his days at the top of [[Omnihelix Academy]]. Instead, Deathsaurus posited that Onslaught could reach his full potential once freed from the shackles of the Elite Guard. By defeating the Guard, the Combaticons could prove they were better than Autobot and Decepticon alike, and become a new symbol of power on post-war Cybertron. Unwilling to appear weak, and lured by the notion of personal power and recognition, Onslaught relented. At this point, the Combaticons were all suitably mollified, ready to follow Deathsaurus's commands while still believing it was ''their'' decision to do so. Deathsaurus sealed the deal with his newly completed combiner technology blueprints, and left Onslaught to plan his attack. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}

As the Combaticons prepared for an attack against their former allies, Deathsaurus turned his attention to other matters. Although he had a seat on the Decepticon War Council, Deathsaurus rarely if ever chose to attend the meetings. Instead, he sent his spokesman, Falcon in his place. With the Council in disarray after the capture of [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] and the merger of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s and [[Photon]]s with Megatron's forces, Deathsaurus decided it was time to act. He sent the unwitting Falcon to the council meeting with a bomb and detonated it, killing his faithful lieutenant and five of the remaining Warlords. With one well-timed explosion, Deathsaurus ensured that only he and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] remained as Decepticon Warlords and rivals for power. Deathsaurus then turned to continue planning with Falcon's replacement, his newly appointed lieutenant and head of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Skyraider-Seeker Brigade]].

His name was [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. {{storylink|A Team Effort}}

[[File:BattleLines3-makeyoupay.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Dude, just use a [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] and spare yourself the effort.]]

Starscream was happy to report to Deathsaurus that the Combaticons, in their new combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], had successfully vanquished the Elite Guard, and that the turncoats were on their way back to Deathsaurus's lair. Despite their victory, Starscream chafed at his commander's plan to welcome them into the Decepticons proper. Starscream feared that the Combaticons were not true Decepticons, but instead using their new allegiance to further their own quest for power. Deathsaurus countered that was what made them the perfect Decepticons, and reminded his new lieutenant that ambition is what separates the Decepticons from the stagnation and complacency of the Autobots. Starscream acquiesced and was ordered by Deathsaurus to help Lyzack prepare the medical bay for the arriving Combaticons. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}}

Deathsaurus observed as the Combaticons were repaired, and ordered Constructicons to concentrate on repairing them to the point that they could form Bruticus at Deathsaurus's will. After Bruticus proved to wild to control and was shut down, Starscream admired Deathsaurus's forethought in adding an override to the Combiner. He also warned the Warlord of an Elite Guard squad approaching their base. Deathsaurus ordered Starscream to call the troops to arms. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} He himself took part in the fight, exchanging blows with [[Magnum]] and informing the Autobot that he had done nothing to the Combaticons' minds other than convince them they would be better served by the Decepticon cause. Outraged, Magnum renewed his attack on the self-proclaimed emperor. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}}

[[File:BattleLines5-istillfunction.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"Did I do... good?" "Look, stop stealing other guys' lines!"]]

The Warlord pointed out mockingly that Magnum's backup appeared to be falling flat, at which point the Autobot blasted him in the chest. Magnum took a battering from Lyzack, and Deathsaurus picked himself up to find Magnum and [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] right where he could finish them off. Unfortunately that was when [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]] jumped on him, demanding a [[zap-pony]] ride, and then shot him in his already damaged chest. Deathsaurus ordered a retreat, however the greatest indignity was still to come, as when he got home, he found his throne had been claimed by Megatron. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

Deathsaurus was chained and led into the gladiatorial arena to face Megatron in a ritual contest to decide leadership of the Decepticons. Deathsaurus bitterly observed that if Megatron wanted this to be a fair fight, he would allow him to first repair the injuries that were dealt by Magnum and Sprocket—but Megatron laughed off the notion that he could ever want a fair fight. Megatron defeated Deathsaurus in melee combat, clawed his face off, then blasted him with his fusion cannon at point-blank range for good measure—emerging as the unquestioned leader of the Decepticons. As the troops rallied around their new leader, Lyzack approached her fallen emperor and found that, despite his tremendous damage, he still functioned. The humbled Deathsaurus said he had no choice but to go into exile, and Lyzack agreed to accompany him. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

[[File:PermanentRevolution-Deathsaurus.jpg|thumb|left|200px|His twisted twin obsessions are global domination and the provision of exceptional pension plans to all employees.]]

Deathsaurus was born a [[Decepticon]] during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. He enjoyed a successful career [[cyberforming]] planets, but grew tired of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s seeming apathy towards the well-being of his troops. Eventually, Deathsaurus broke away from his command and, using a stolen [[Warworld]], led a contingent of his own troops to ravage worlds. Deathsaurus's betrayal placed him on the [[Decepticon Justice Division]]'s [[The List|List]].

When the DJD eventually came, albeit to offer a deal, a disbelieving Deathsaurus tried to preemptively blow up [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]]. Deathsaurus switched off his audio receptors to avoid Tarn's weaponized conversation—but Tarn tapped into the Warworld's [[inter-Decepticon radio]] and bought enough time to offer Deathsaurus a deal: join the DJD in preserving the Decepticon dream and eliminating the then-[[Autobot]] Megatron, in exchange for removing his and his soldiers' names from the List. As a condition, Deathsaurus told Tarn to slay the other members of the DJD as payback for all their past victims, and Tarn refused... which was all Deathsaurus needed to see. Satisfied that his test had proven that Tarn was not so callous about his soldiers' lives as Megatron had been, Deathsaurus agreed to join forces. {{storylink|The Permanent Revolution}}

Months later, the Decepticons ambushed Megatron and his Auto-chums at the [[Mortilus|Necrobot]]'s [[Necroworld|planet]] {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} but, under Tarn's command, they backed off to return at sunset. While being shown Tarn's collection of literary miner corpses (and professing ignorance of early rebel [[Terminus (G1)|Terminus]]), Deathsaurus expressed his troops' frustration that they hadn't just ''killed'' the enemy already. Tarn told him this was an act of psychological torture. Later, he joined the Division in discussing how best to make the final assault. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 2: The Sun in Flight|The Sun in Flight}} When Tarn appeared with [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] in tow, Deathsaurus was more than surprised. Overlord immediately started trying to put him off, until he was shut down by [[Kaon (DJD)|Kaon]]'s death. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 3: Your Fierce Tears|Your Fierce Tears}}

[[File:RageRage DeathsaurusDoubts.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Along with the rest of the army, Deathsaurus amassed outside the Necrobot's fortress in which the Autobots had holed-up. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|At Close of Day}} In the following battle, Deathsaurus noticed the vigor the Autobots were fighting with and when Megatron arrived, he commented on the fact that Megatron found his fire. Despite the fact that Megatron was decimating his men, Deathsaurus reluctantly followed Tarn's order to send all his troops at Megatron. After losing his new [[fusion cannon]], Megatron fell to his knees as Tarn and Overlord stood over him and opened fire. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|Rage, Rage}} Megatron activated a [[force field|panic bubble]], deflecting their blasts and forcing a temporary stalemate. Shortly thereafter, a psychic attack transmitted from the Necrobot's fortress gave Deathsaurus a moment of conscience, making him reflect on the many troops he had lost following Tarn's commands. [[Nickel]] shared his regrets and the two ordered a retreat of the survivors, leaving the D.J.D. to deal with Megatron and the Autobots on their own. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|Do Not Go Gentle}}

Deathsaurus continued to cyberform worlds in his exile. However, when his resource suppliers were slowly taken over by someone operating from the [[Benzene Cluster]], he made plans to investigate. This brought him to the planet [[Frayus]], where, leading forces alongside ''Commander'' Nickel, he joined a battle between the [[Galactic Council]] and the [[Black Block Consortia]]. He did so in defiance of Nickel's instructions to wait until the other two sides had worn each other down a little, and so, not long afterwards, found himself and his troops being stormed by unexpected Consortia reinforcements. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

{{first|[[Wannabee, Part 1|''Galaxies'' #5]]}}

[[File:WannabeePart1-Deathsaurus.jpg|thumb|right|200px|It's a lovely morning on Probat, and you are a horrible goose.]]

Deathsaurus was Cybertron's ambassador to planet [[Probat (planet)|Probat]], responsible for collecting their energon tributes. Aware of the [[Probat (species)|Probats]]' worship of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and that their echolocation-based vision made them blind to colors, the ambassador brought [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] along with him to serve as a distraction that would allow Deathsaurus to skip out on all the gross inferior creepy-crawly-fleshy parts of his job. When the Probat chief [[Natalus]] showed him the pitiful haul of energon, a suspicious Deathsaurus sniffed around and found a secret stash that Natalus was hoarding. Livid at being lied to, Deathsaurus killed Natalus on the spot just as Cliffjumper ran in, bringing the news that super-heating the Probats' waste created hyper-refined [[energon crystal]]s. Helping himself to the sample, Deathsaurus decided to raze the planet, rewarding Cliffjumper's initiative with a one-time offer to help himself to a portion of the energon. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 1}}

When Cliffjumper made clear that he would not take part in a genocide, Deathsaurus decided that the sanitation engineer could serve as a distraction, shoving him inside a wall and framing him for the murder of Natalus to the Probats while exposing him as a "False Bee". With everyone occupied, Deathsaurus went to work on the spires, once again offering Cliffjumper a chance to join him, noting he would leave enough Probats alive so he could come back and repeat the process in a few megacycles. Disgusted, Cliffjumper charged up a spire and rammed into Deathsaurus, sending the draconic ambassador falling onto a spire and impaling him on the energon. Damaged but alive, Deathsaurus was brought back to Cybertron in a comatose state while Cliffjumper lied that the ambassador had been caught in an accidental explosion when the two had scuttled the energon facility, so there was ''certainly'' no longer a reason for any Cybertronian to visit that planet. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}}

After being repaired, Deathsaurus sought out [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and indefinitely assigned his energon rations to the con artist in exchange for a [[Simultronic|multiworld immersion couch]]. Once inside the simulation, Deathsaurus spent kilocycles endlessly killing Cliffjumper. {{storylink|War World: Hunt|Hunt}} He was still there over forty cycles later, {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Swindle's II|Swindle's II}} and shortly thereafter [[Exarchon]] opened his immersion couch and took over his spark. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Three}}

Exarchon used Deathsaurus's form as his primary avatar, battling the Autobots and Decepticons as he continued his plan to take over Cybertron. {{storylink|War's End Part One}} {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} {{storylink|War's End Part Three}} Deathsaurus's frame was eventually abandoned when Exarchon was compelled to vacate it by [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]'s hypnotic stare. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}}

A tyrant and despot - more than often a rogue one - who can rival Megatron, Deathsaurus wields a deadly spiked flail, a destructive energon sword, and a Living-Metal Destroying cannon. Despite his power and abilities, he's perfectly content to hang back and let others do the fighting; after all, he's secure enough in his faith in his strength that he doesn't feel the '''need''' to prove himself to anyone. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Deathsaurus Bio}}

Deathsaurus was on his usual en route to conquer and oppress when [[Star Saber (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Star Saber]] engaged him in a mid-space duel. He ended up trapped and frozen in his own Planet-Destroying Fortress, much to his amusement. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Deathsaurus Research}}

When the Decepticons were attempting to breach the inner sanctum of a Decepticon Fortress in the Arctic, they found Deathsaurus guarding it. He declared that "the universe is arena, and Autobots and Decepticons alike are merely contestants." His appearance scared away Brawl and Starscream. To Starscream's retreat he replied, "Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste death but once!" before returning back into the fortress's halls. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Arctic Saga - What Lies Beneath}}

The Decepticons soon re-approached him, this time with Megatron and the Constructicons.

Megatron attempted to order Deathsaurus to activate the fortress, intending for them to conquer Earth together. But Deathsaurus replied that Megatron overvalues his contribution and worth, and walked away. He then overloaded the energy levels of his fortress, initiating its self-destruction. He then started laughing maniacally, while the rest of the Decepticons and Autobots in the fortress evacuated. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Arctic Saga - The Monster Within}}

After Deathsaurus arrived at the Decepticon Base, Starscream confrontationally demanded to know who he was. Deathsaurus was not impressed, citing that he had faced off against the likes of Megatron and Galvatron, and the former achievement piqued Starscream's interest. Deathsaurus subsequently ordered Starscream to help him find his [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]] and his spiked flail, explaining that he had lost it in space somewhere over the [[Arctic|Arctic Circle]]. After failing to get Deathsaurus to agree to quid pro quo help, Starscream groaned that it was going to be a long night.

During their search, Deathsaurus admitted that he had lost his cannon quite a few times. Starscream then asked if he has something like a car beeper. At first, Deathsaurus was surprised, but then intrigued and wanted to know more.

Soon he encountered Star Saber, and Star Saber immediately assumed he was after Earth and challenged him to a duel. Starscream upon seeing the Autobots took off, and Star Saber's companions left him to let them settle their "legendary" battle. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Deathsaurus Research}}

{{toydesigner|[[Kōjin Ōno]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:"Deszaras" transforms into a blue and grey dragon monster. Unusually for late Generation 1 toys, he has [[die-cast]]-metal feet in [[beast mode]].

:Deathsaurus comes packaged with his Breast Animal partners, Tigerbreast and Eaglebreast, which transform from creatures into hand-held weapons for Deathsaurus, and a pair of breastplates which lock into a spring-loaded socket on the toy's body to form elaborate torso armor for the Deathsaurus's [[robot mode]]. Eaglebreast is inserted first, then Tigerbreast fits on top, concealing it; the figures can also be attached while Deathsaurus is in beast mode, which leaves them on his creature mode's back. Deathsaurus also wields a light blue laser rifle with a molded-in flail (which, sadly, cannot be removed) that can be held either by an ordinary handle or by a second peg on its butt that allows it to be brandished like a staff or blade. The dragon's tail unfolds to become the "Death Tailer" shield, which mounts on either of the robot's biceps.

:There is a mold [[variant]] related to the spike on top of Deathsaurus' dragon head. On some specimens this spike's rear surface has a scooped, concave appearance, while on others it is filled in.

*'''Descent into Evil''' (multi-pack, [[2005]])
**''Accessories'': 2 launchers, 2 Energon blade missiles

: Part of the [[BotCon 2005]] "Descent into Evil" boxset, Deathsaurus is a blue and black [[retool]] of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Megatron (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2001)|Megatron/Galvatron]]. He comes with a pair of swords that can launch their blade-missiles through a pressure-launch mechanism, as well as combine at their bottom ends to form a large double-blade weapon. The blade-missiles are rounded off [[for safety reasons]] like the other [[Hasbro]] uses of the mold. His head is a new sculpt based on Deathsaurus's appearance in the ''Victory'' anime (though Deathsaurus's face seems to be copied from Megatron's).

:Deathsaurus's mold was originally a ten-changer, though the "gargoyle"/bat mode was neutered for this release due to the dropping of the bat snout piece, required to give his new head enough space inside his chest cavity for other modes. He still retains the other nine modes (robot, dragster, jet, [[Popular beast alternate modes|two-headed dragon]], hand, mammoth, hydrofoil, one-headed dragon, and winged griffin). His instructions, however, assign him the six modes of the original RID Megatron, ''including'' the gargoyle and omitting the boat, griffin, mammoth and flying dragon. His tail-piece was removed for in-box storage, but easily popped back on since it's on a ball-and-socket joint.

:Eleven years later, he was retooled again into [[BotCon 2016]]'s ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Generations|Megatron]].

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' "Dezarus" is a redeco/retool of ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Generations|Sky Lynx]], transforming from a winged dinosaur thing into a space shuttle. His dino head/shuttle nose has been retooled with new eyes and a new fin, and colored to resembled the original Deathsaurus's beast mode head. His torso mode's combiner head has also been retooled, now sporting a new Liokaiser face beneath its feline helmet. The rest of his deco, meanwhile, mostly draws from Leozack and Jallguar, whom he replaces as Liokaiser's torso. As a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class figure, he is able to combine with any Deluxe Class toys released as part of the same subline but is, of course, intended to be combined with his pack-in [[Breastforce|Destron]]s to form Liokaiser.

New features highlighting this include removable wingtips to re-enact the "Death Wing" attack, and a creature mode (now officially called a "griffon-dragon") with a narrow bird-like beak and three-toed feet.

:Like [[Star_Saber_(G1)/toys#HasLab|Victory Saber]], Deathsaurus costs $179.99 USD and required 11,000 "backers" to go into production. That level produced Deathsaurus himself, his sword, an "[[Eaglebreast#HasLab|Eaglechest]]" partner (with gun mode) and "[[Tigerbreast#HasLab|Tigerchest]]" partner (now turning into a cartoon-accurate longbow, complete with an arrow). These partners are now officially called "[[Micromaster]]s", even though the toys are easily the size of [[price point|Core-class]] figures. Reaching 14,000 backers would win inclusion for a "weapon pack" - his spiked flail with articulated chain, two sets of triple-stacked Fire Blast effects (to match those that came with HasLab Victory Saber) and his gigantic Living-Metal-Destroying-Cannon. If the project reaches 17,000 backers, the set will additionally include a display stand with an armature that can be arranged alternately for robot or monster mode, and, last but not least, a throne befitting the Emperor of Destruction.

:Hasbro team members [[Ben MacCrae]] and [[Evan Brooks]] commented that the initial plan had been to produce Deathsaurus as a Leader-class retail toy for ''Legacy'', with the partner beasts each sold separately as Core-class figures, but the strong success of the Victory Saber campaign convinced them to move Deathsaurus to that platform as well. This made possible a significantly larger design that could stand eye-to-eye with Victory Saber.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Z4rkJLQpWJo Interview] with [[Ben MacCrae]] and [[Evan Brooks]] on the Mr. Alan Supershow</ref>

:The crowdfunding began on [[October 27]], 2022, and runs through [[December 12]] with an expected shipping date of Fall 2023.

Although lacking any paint applications, the figure features stickers for detail, and retains most of the accessories and features of the actual Deathsaurus toy, though not his Breast Animal partners. It comes with a stick of something that might be gum.

Both of his shoulders have sockets on the outsides to mount his shield accessory, so pick whichever arm you like best.

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

: The pewter version came packaged with the wings of [[Star Saber (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Victory Saber]], one of several extra pieces packed with the various figures from the wave which could combine with the act's Star Saber figure to turn it into Victory Saber.

==Notes==
[[File:DeathsaurusAndRedGeist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Definitely not toy-accurate, but definitely awesome.]]

*While often called a [[dragon]] (including on his original box), or a [[griffin]], or a griffon-dragon, or, hilariously, a "bigbird" on his original Japanese [[bio]] card, Deathsaurus is most likely styled after traditional Japanese "kaijū", such as [[Godzilla]] or Rodan. The monster mode in the [[character model]] and box-back [[package art]] differs from that of the original toy in several respects - most notably in having bird-like three-toed feet. Perhaps this would have been too fragile for a large heavy toy built with 1989 technology.
*The original Deathsaurus mold was redecoed into the non-living "Red Geist" (レッドガイスト ''Reddo Gaisuto'') mech for [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave of Legend Da Garn]]'' toyline, which lacked the Eaglebreast partner. Although the character design in the television show for the line was significantly modified from that of Deathsaurus (see image at right), including reinterpreting Tigerbreast's weapon mode as a jet mode, the Red Geist toy itself was not retooled. [http://tfbaka.de-blog.jp/1dai/2008/08/post_6871.html More on Red Geist at a Japanese toy photoblog.]
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' manga, Deathsaurus is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]] helmet, the [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]] wing-pack, a thick rifle, a 2x4 "wing" plate attached (somehow) to his arm to replicate the tail-shield... and then there's his chestplate. The plate itself is a 1x1 plate with twin bars and a pair of Starscream arm-guns attached... but it's "connected" to a 2x2 harness piece, which can only be done by adding a 1x2 center-peg plate in between them which is kind of unnecessary since there's a 1x1 harness piece that will do the job nicely, no middle-brick required.
*After the HasLab Deathsaurus campaign launched, Hasbro designer [[Mark Maher]] commented that the decision to make the new figure was made at the same time as the development of the final renders for the Victory Saber campaign. Since that was in summer 2021, it suggests a reason for the much more prominent role Deathsaurus went on to have in the ongoing IDW comic. Multiple issues released in 2022 used their covers to highlight a toy design that hadn't been sold for over 30 years.

===Name===
Deathsaurus's name is the source of a long-lasting argument. The phonetic Japanese reading of the name is ''Desuzarasu'' (デスザラス); this is represented in Latin characters on his toy packaging and tech specs as "Deszaras". English-speaking fans would long debate the "proper" [[Japanese language|romanization]] of the name, interpreting it as Deszaras, Deathzaras, Deathsaurus, Death Czarus, Death Czaras, and many others. "Deathsaurus" had a tendency to be the most popular and well-known (on account of it actually ''meaning'' something), which led to it being used on the character's first Western toy in 2005, making it his official English-language name.

At [[BotCon 2015]], after decades of such back-and-forth, the designer of the original toy, [[Kōjin Ōno]], confirmed that the name was indeed always supposed to have been "Deathsaurus"... during a panel presentation that rendered the name as "Dethzarasu". It is anyone's guess as to why the original Japanese lettering did not read ''saurusu'' (サウルス) or ''zaurusu'' (ザウルス)—the standard ways of transliterating the ''-saurus'' suffix into Japanese—rather than ''zarasu'' (ザラス). As such, in the years before that revelation was made clear, the character's name had continued to be spelled "Deszaras" on the [[Metrodome]] and [[Madman Entertainment]] DVD boxsets of the ''Victory'' cartoon as well as in the ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' book.

Hasbro product varies on the spelling; first came "Dessaras" for the cancelled 2009 [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] figure. For ''Combiner Wars'' [[Liokaiser#Combiner Wars|Liokaiser]] as part of the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' line in 2016, they used the spelling "Dezarus". "Decepticon Deathsaurus" proper would finally be used once the character received his own HasbLab campaign for a release in 2023.

:''Deathsaurus is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[File:Deathsaurus1.jpg|325px|thumb|Spell it right or you're kickbanned, buster.]]

'''Deathsaurus''' (デスザラス ''Desuzarasu'')<ref>Also known as '''Deszaras''', '''Dezarus''', and '''Dessaras''', among others. Listen, it's [[Deathsaurus (G1)#His stupid name|a whole thing]].</ref> began terrorizing the galaxy long before ascending to the position of Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction]]. For thousands of years, this savage and cruel dictator has spread terror throughout the universe, and has now set his sights upon the Earth as a source of energy to power his terrifying superweapon, the [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. And if [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] should get in his way, so much the better: Deathsaurus bears the Autobot [[Supreme Commander]] a bitter grudge, and relishes any opportunity to destroy him that presents itself.

Deathsaurus is a [[Breastforce]] warrior, partnered with two transforming chestplates that become the [[Breast Animal]]s [[Tigerbreast]] and [[Eaglebreast]]. He wields a deadly spiked flail, and the [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]], which erodes the living metallic cells of super-robot lifeforms. The bladed wings of his creature mode absorb sunlight, converting it into dark energy, and he can then launch these energized blades at his opponents in an attack known as his "Death Wing". Despite all of these terrifying powers, however, Deathsaurus is a surprisingly "hands off" leader, who is perfectly happy to allow his subordinates to formulate their own plans and schemes to gather energy for him—but if they should fail, he'll always be there to berate and brutalize them. Even when the plans are his own, Deathsaurus is content to watch and command from a distance, rather than dirty his own hands—but he'll rarely waste a chance to engage Star Saber on the battlefield, and if that occurs, woe betide anyone who gets in Deathsaurus's way.

Not without a soft side, Deathsaurus permits himself one distinctive, unusual foible: although he despises most humans, he has a surprising soft spot for children. He is also husband to [[Esmeral (G1)|Esmeral]], who resides in the Planet-Destroying Fortress.

[[File:Deathsaurus fortress.jpg|left|thumb|225px|By the power of Grayskull!]]

500,000 years ago, striving to become the Decepticons' new Emperor of Destruction, Deathsaurus created a gigantic battle fortress capable of destroying planets, but an attack by the young Autobot commander Star Saber saw the fortress de-powered and trapped in a gravity cell at the heart of the region of space known as [[Dark Nebula]]. This began the enmity between Star Saber and Deathsaurus, and as both combatants rose through the ranks of their respective armies, Deathsaurus vowed to eventually liberate his fortress and use it to destroy Star Saber. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}}

[[File:Deszaras Victory Intro.jpg|thumb|225px|Form Blazing Sword!]]

Some years prior to 2025, after the conclusion of the [[Masterforce War]] on Earth, Deathsaurus succeeded [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] as Decepticon leader and achieved his dream of becoming Emperor of Destruction. {{storylink|#Toys|Deathsaurus's ''Victory'' toy bio}} Under his command, the Decepticons began seeking a planet that they could call their own and invaded worlds all across the galaxy. To counteract Deathsaurus's campaign of terror, the Autobots—now with Star Saber serving as their Supreme Commander—and many other sentient races formed the [[Galactic Peace Alliance]], and struck back at the Decepticons with their [[Galactic Peace Alliance|Galactic Defense Force]]. As time passed and this conflict continued, Deathsaurus began focusing his attacks on "Sector One" of the galaxy, containing the planet Earth, until 2025, when the severity and frequency of the attacks forced Star Saber to take command of the Defense Force unit in that area himself. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}}

[[File:Deathsaurus starsaber moonbattle.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Parry on regardless.]]

When Deathsaurus's [[Dinoforce]] attacked the [[Lunar Base (Victory)|Lunar Base]] on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Star Saber raced to aid his fellow [[Brainmaster]]s in battle there, only to find his way barred by Deathsaurus. Hoping to distract Star Saber long enough for the Dinoforce to finish their job, Deathsaurus engaged his old foe in battle, but Star Saber broke off the fight as quickly as he could and headed on toward the moon with Deathsaurus hot on his heels. After Star Saber defeated the Dinoforce, Deathsaurus caught up to him and unleashed his Breast Animals upon the Autobot in both beast and weapon forms. Star Saber eventually won out, defeating both the creatures and besting Deathsaurus in a swordfight, forcing the Decepticon leader to summon up his craft, the ''[[Thunder Arrow]],'' and flee aboard it. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}}

[[File:Deathsaurus throne.jpg|right|thumb|225px|THRONE'D!]]

Recognizing the Earth as a rich source of energy that he could use to power up his Planet-Destroying Fortress, Deathsaurus centered most of his subsequent attacks on the planet, summoning the Breastforce to aid in the campaign. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}} {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}} {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} Deathsaurus was entirely aware of the fact that the Breastforce's leader [[Leozack]] had designs on leadership of the Decepticons for himself, {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}} but he was amused enough by it to let him slide by, allowing Leozack to believe that he was oblivious to his schemes. Residing on the Thunder Arrow as it hopscotched around the planet and solar system, Deathsaurus was content to watch as his troops staged numerous attacks on Earth. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} {{storylink|Explosion!! The Energy Base}}

[[File:Deathsaurus beastmode.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Not to be confused with the [[w:Robot Chicken|Adult Swim]] show of the same name.]]

Deathsaurus finally decided to join his troops on a mission when the Decepticon began draining electrical energy from an American subway system. While the Breastforce snuck through the subway tunnels, Deathsaurus himself targeted the power distribution center, where he was confronted by Star Saber. The true cunning of Deathsaurus's scheme was revealed when he let loose his Breast Animals, and Star Saber proved no match for the creatures in the small confines of the underground complex. Unfortunately for Deathsaurus, he had overlooked the fact that with both Breast Animals deployed, his own chest was left unprotected, leaving it open to an attack from Star Saber's Saber Blade. Wounded, Deathsaurus recalled his Breast Animals and fled, but not without successfully taking the energy he had managed to steal beforehand. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}

When the Breastforce were joined by [[Hellbat (G1)|Hellbat]], the newcomer also adopted designs on the Decepticon throne. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} Deathsaurus was even less concerned with Hellbat's ambitions than he was with Leozack's, though, since the two would-be traitors were always too busy fighting with each other to pose a serious threat to him. In their constant games of one-upmanship, Leozack and Hellbat crafted numerous failed schemes of their own, eventually forcing Deathsaurus to step in and give his minions a mission of his own devising. Deathsaurus had the Decepticons hide in the asteroid belt and capture human shuttlecraft in order to use drain their energy and use them to create an energy alloy. Star Saber soon got wise to the villains' evildoings and arrived to put a stop to them, but again, Deathsaurus successfully escaped with his amassed energy. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

[[File:Starsaber living metal destroying cannon.jpg|right|thumb|Say hello to my little friend...]]

While the Breastforce were busy on planet [[Micro]], Deathsaurus and the Dinoforce took the Thunder Arrow into the Dark Nebula, where Deathsaurus emptied his stockpile of energy into his inactive fortress. The giant structure briefly flared back to life, but soon shut down once more; Deathsaurus was unfazed, having only sought to confirm whether or not the fortress could even be reactivated. On the trip back to Earth, the Decepticons crossed paths with Star Saber and the [[Rescue Patrol Team]], and Deathsaurus engaged Star Saber in battle with his Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon. Although Deathsaurus was actually able to pull the trigger on what would have been a fatal blast, he discovered that he had expended too much of his energy supply reactivating his fortress, and his weapons systems shut down before he could end Star Saber's life, necessitating his tactical withdrawal. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}}

[[File:Deathsaurus vs leozack.jpg|thumb|left|Tell me, what was the color of Napoleon's White horse?]]

Deathsaurus next clashed with Star Saber in Antarctica, only stepping onto the battlefield after the Breastforce, combined as [[Liokaiser]], had severely weakened Star Saber. Deathsaurus took over the fight, intent on being the one to deliver the final blow, but Star Saber was able to turn the battle around, and forced Deathsaurus into retreat. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} In a later battle atop the Thunder Arrow, deep in the desert, Star Saber again humbled Deathsaurus, this time with the aid of [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]], but the fight left both the Supreme Commander and [[Blacker]] badly wounded. {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} Capitalizing on the Autobots' reduced manpower, Deathsaurus stepped up the Decepticons' attacks across the planet, and removed another annoyance by finally calling Leozack out on his treachery. Easily besting the traitorous Breastforcer in combat, Deathsaurus forced him to swear total loyalty to him, or face death. Leozack made the logical choice, and then, combined with his fellow Breastforcers as Liokaiser, joined with his leader in staging an ambush for Star Saber in a subterranean cave in Asia. Disguising himself as a Terracotta Army-esque statue, Deathsaurus was able to get the drop on Star Saber when Liokaiser lured him into the cave, and again unleashed the Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon on his enemy. Once more, Deathsaurus stood poised to kill Star Saber with the weapon, until the last-minute arrival of [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]], who took the fatal shot. Liokaiser had to persuade the incensed Deathsaurus to retreat as more Autobots arrived, {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} but the Decepticon leader soon clashed with Star Saber once more in a later battle at a solar power station. Deathsaurus emerged victorious in that fight when Star Saber was forced to flee upon receiving news of Ginrai's deteriorating condition. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} Ginrai's life was saved, however, when he was rebuilt into the powerful new warror, Victory Leo. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}}

[[File:Victory33 finishhim.jpg|thumb|225px]]

Next, Deathsaurus began bombarding the Earth with missiles from an orbital weapons platform, as a means of staying the Autobots' hands while his forces gathered energy across the planet. Star Saber and Victory Leo were able to thwart his plan by combining into the mighty Victory Saber; Deathsaurus's missile launch system had been programmed based on Star Saber's speed, but with the added power of Victory Leo, the Autobot hero was able to outrace the missiles, destroy the launcher and defeat Deathsaurus in an outer space battle. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}}

[[File:Victory37 finalblow.jpg|left|thumb|Who says robots don't bleed?]]

Following an attempt to destroy the Autobots with the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects, {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}} Deathsaurus was informed by Hellbat that he had discovered the location of the sunken continent of [[Atlantis]], which could provide the raw energy to reactivate his fortress. Deathsaurus risked all or nothing to obtain Atlantis's energy, using up the Thunder Arrow's entire energy stockpile to raise the continent, but the plan proved a success, as the Autobots were too busy dealing with the devastating tidal waves caused by the rise of Atlantis to stop him from absconding with enough energy to bring his fortress back online. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} Having no further use for the bumbling Dinoforce, Deathsaurus abandoned them on Earth and headed back to the Dark Nebula with the Breastforce, where he successfully re-energized his fortress and began moving it towards Earth. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}}

[[File:Victory37 deadsaurus.jpg|thumb|With my last breath, I curse Zoidberg!]]

Intent on learning from the failures of all past Decepticon leaders, Deathsaurus chose not to conquer Earth, but to utterly destroy the planet, eradicting from Decepticon history the humiliating stain of defeat the planet represented. As the fortress rained destruction down upon Earth with meteor bombs, even Victory Saber could not stand up to its power. Soon, however, a resentful Dinoforce supplied information on the fortress's weak spot to Star Saber's adopted human son, [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]], who then used his own [[Illumina II|personal mech]] to enter the fortress and strike at this vulnerability. As he did so, Deathsaurus and Star Saber engaged in a vicious final battle, during which Deathsaurus lost an eye, and was eventually stopped when Star Saber broke his sword off in the villain's chest. Gushing fuel and fluid, Deathsaurus vowed to have the last laugh as he set the crippled fortress on a collision course with Earth and blew himself out an airlock, vowing to return again and again. But, as his body drifted off into space, no sign of life was visible from the conquered emperor. Victory Saber was able to subsequently destroy the fortress before it collided with Earth, but Deathsaurus was not heard from again. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

Through means unknown, Deathsaurus was resurrected as the "[[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]]" and once again lead the Decepticons in an attack on the Autobots. This time, it was a full-on assault on planet [[Micro|Zone]] in an attempt to seize the Micro Zone's [[Energon Z]]. The [[Micromaster]]s repelled his attack and sent Deathsaurus into retreat. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)#Catalogue story page 1|Zone Project Story}}

[[File:MangaYoungDeathyStarSaber.jpg|left|thumb|225px|"Come back here and help me put some sense in this image!"]]
Deathsaurus and Star Saber's rivalry began 500,000 years ago when they were both children, and according to Star Saber, "argued all the time". {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} In his "adult" years, Deathsaurus took [[Esmeral (G1)|Esmeral]] as his wife, and in order to keep both her and the families of his fellow Decepticons safe aboard his "Space Stronghold", Deathsaurus began attacking Earth, in order to obtain the planet's energy and use it to keep the stronghold fully powered-up. {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

During one of his early attacks on Earth, Deathsaurus took pity on an infant human named [[Solon Kitakaze (G1)|Solon Kitakaze]], whose parents had died in the assault. Deathsaurus "adopted" Solon and turned him into a cyborg, raising him as his own son, just as Star Saber did with the human child Jan Minakaze. As Star Saber and Deathsaurus had been rivals in their youth, so too would Solon and Jan become rivals when, in 2025, Deathsaurus's campaign against Earth intensified.

Deathsaurus and Star Saber's first major battle in this campaign was a brief one, with Deathsaurus being felled by a single swipe of Star Saber's Saber Blade, {{storylink|So Cool! Our Ally, Star Saber!}} but the Emperor of Destruction had a better showing in their next clash, during which he absorbed enough energy from a forest fire to best Star Saber, Road Caesar and Landcross all together. Deathsaurus's unusual compassion for children proved to be his downfall in this battle when he was distracted by the sight of Solon, gripping Jan in a hold that threatened the boy's life. While Deathsaurus's attention was occupied with striking Solon as punishment, Star Saber blindsided and defeated him with a Super Saber Meteor Spin. {{storylink|Great Reversal! Star Saber}}

Deathsaurus later sent Solon to study in school on Earth, in order to learn more about humans, thereby making it easier to conquer them. {{storylink|Leozack's Rampage!}} While Solon was on Earth, he and Jan were approached by former Autobot human allies [[Shūta Gō]] and [[Cab (human)|Cab]], {{storylink|Star Saber, Warrior of Love!}} and with Jan, they formed the "Autobot Boy Team" known as the [[Victories]]. Seeking to counter this group with a team of his own, Deathsaurus had [[Yokuryu]] capture Jan and bring him to the ''Thunder Arrow'', where he attempted to bribe the boy into joining the Decepticons' group with toys, a [[Family Computer|Famicom]], candy and cash. When an enraged Star Saber soon came tearing into the ''Thunder Arrow'', Deathsaurus crossed swords with the Autobot leader, but was then distracted by Jan distracting who exploited the Decepticon's bizarre fear of caterpillars by dangling one in his face. The cowering Deathsaurus was promptly bested in dramatically explosive fashion by Star Saber's "Planetary Impulse Sword" technique, and realised with hindsight that Solon was the only kid he needed. {{storylink|Danger, Jan! Hurry, Star Saber!}} Deathsaurus was apparently left so badly injured by this clash that he couldn't participate in the next battle, given that he was only seen lying in bed, coughing, with Solon resting a giant ice-pack on his head. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}}

[[File:Kingsaurus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The mighty Kingsaurus. Mighty.]]

Rested and healthy again, Deathsaurus joined with [[Dinoking]] and Liokaiser in going up against Star Saber together, and perhaps not entirely surprisingly, the badly outnumbered Autobot was defeated by the three Decepticons. Before they could deliver the killing stroke, however, Star Saber was saved by the sudden arrival of Victory Leo, with whom he combined to form Victory Saber. The merged pair defeated the trio of Decepticons in one blast of their "Flash Victory" attack. {{storylink|The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!}} Deathsaurus immediately sought out away to combat Star Saber's new power, and developed a Transformer-sized mech for Solon named "King Solon," with which he could combine to form "Kingsaurus". In this new form, Deathsaurus battled Victory Saber on the planet [[Guard]], with neither combatant getting the upper hand in over three hours of fighting. When [[Patty Minakaze]]'s mentioned the word "mother", however, something of Solon's past was stirred in the boy's mind, and he was distracted long enough for Victory Saber to destroy the King Solon mech components with his Victory. The burning Solon tumbled to the ground, where Patty tended his wounds despite his protestations. Perhaps wary of Solon's confused emotional state, Deathsaurus reminded him that while he was a human child, he was a Decepticon's son by fate. {{storylink|Victory Saber Is Strong!}}

[[File:Starsaber deathsaurus truce.jpg|left|225px|thumb|"So, we both agree that the childhood friendship thingie made no sense at all?" "Yes! Oh, what a glorious day!"]]

As it turned out, Deathsaurus was right to be wary—in the midst of a later battle with Star Saber and Road Caesar, Solon turned against Deathsaurus and sided with the Victories, opening fire on his "father" and declaring that he would fight to protect the Earth, instead of destroy it. Now with Solon on their side, the Victories were able to channel their power into the Autobots, and the Decepticons were sent fleeing by the "Five Stars of Victory" attack. {{storylink|Shine, Five Stars of Victory}} Deathsaurus led the Decepticons back to the Space Stronghold and began bombarding the Earth with meteor bombs, prompting the Autobots to attack it. Deathsaurus left the Breastforce to man the fortress while he engaged Star Saber in a final battle in the void of space, but had not reckoned with the treachery of Leozack, who fired on his emperor with the fortress's main cannon. To save himself, Deathsaurus was forced to return fire on the fortress, and Star Saber followed suite, smashing into the fortress's control chamber and taking Leozack down. As Leozack begged the Autobots not to destroy the fortress, the wounded Deathsaurus arrived and revealed to the Autobots the presence of the Decepticons' families aboard the vessel. After his wife, Esmeral, explained to the Autobots that the Decepticons had only done what they had in the name of their families' safety, Star Saber decided that it was time for the two leaders to follow the example set by their sons and lay down their arms. Deathsaurus and Star Saber shook hands, and the [[Victory War]] came to an end, bringing peace to everyone—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

Towards the end of the Great War, the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]] worked under Deathsaurus as a supply manager. When the final defeat of the Decepticons at last came, Cryotek led his fellow Predacon workers in a rebellion against Deathsaurus, and used the materials he stole from his depot to begin his own criminal empire. {{storylink|Transformers Collectors' Club|Cryotek's "Theft of the Golden Disk" profile}}

Years later, using a clone lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]], Deathsaurus wished to revive the fading [[Decepticon Empire]] with a vast [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] army. After the first batch of [[Virulent Clone|clones]] was completed, his operation was interrupted by a team of [[Autobot]] commandos under the command of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. Deathsaurus overpowered and captured the first wave himself, and soon faced Ironhide one-on-one, while [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] attempted to rescue the fallen Autobots. Due to the assistance of Tripredacus Agent [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], these two were defeated and captured as well.

They woke up bound inside Deathsaurus's clone lab. The Emperor of Destruction appeared on a television screen, declaring that his use for the lab was completed and was prepared to detonate it remotely with the Autobots inside. Unfortunately for Deathsaurus, the Autobot espionage agent [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]] not only freed the Autobots before the explosion occurred, but also seeded the remaining clones with a virus, leaving Deathsaurus with nothing to show for his work. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}

===''Wings Universe''===
Deathsaurus's origins are unknown, but he quickly rose within the ranks of the Decepticons after the uprisings began. He established himself as one of the fourteen leading [[Decepticon Warlord|Warlord]]s in the Decepticon cause and gathered a small inner circle of followers including [[Falcon (G1)|Falcon]], [[Vanquish]], and [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 34|Deathsaurus's profile in Club magazine #34}} He had managed to recruit the latter as his personal servant by promising to aid Lyzack in liberating her [[Leozack|brother]] from the Autobots. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 40|Lyzack's profile in Club magazine #40}} Deathsaurus preferred to lead from his throne room, directing others to carry out his strategies from a distance. He accumulated a great deal of ill-gotten wealth from his forces' assaults on high-ranking generals and aristocrats in the Autobot hierarchy, while carrying on his own experiments into the areas of [[Triple Changer|multiple alternate modes]] and [[Combiner|combination technology]]. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 34|Deathsaurus's profile in Club magazine #34}}

Following a raid against the Autobot general [[Traachon]], Deathsaurus sat in his throne room enjoying the fruit of his labors, and the finest oil reserves from the good general's private stash. He updated himself on [[Rage (G1)|Rage]]'s final fate at [[Median]] thanks to his deep cover source, [[Flip Sides (G1)|Flip Sides]]. Reviewing the details of the conflict with the [[Elite Guard]], a plan began to form in his diabolical processor regarding the reported victors, the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s. {{storylink|Flames of Yesterday}}

[[File:TheComingStorm4-LordDeathsaurus.jpg|left|thumb|upright=2.2|He wasn't quite sure whether he was hiring [[Leozack]] or [[Lyzack (G1)|Lyzack]] to serve him drinks.]]

Seeing the possibility of swaying the Combaticons to his cause, Deathsaurus had [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] and his men captured and brought to his headquarters. In his throne room Deathsaurus wove a complicated web of deceit, half-truths, and temptations to bring the Elite Guardsmen under his control. [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] were easy, as their respective greed and love of fine oil was easy to satisfy. To earn their trust, Deathsaurus offered to fix up the Combaticons' armor due to the "mistaken" injuries they suffered at the hands of his soldiers, and he also offered to upgrade them in the process. The lonely [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]] was quick to jump at the idea of having both land and space modes, letting him remain active and useful on the ground. [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]'s anger could not be easily cooled, so Deathsaurus merely redirected it, suggesting the Combaticons could not fight properly without the Elite Guard backing them up. After that comment, Brawl was more than willing to fight the Elite Guard to prove he was tougher.

Onslaught was the most difficult to manipulate, and so Deathsaurus appealed to his pride, intimating that Onslaught's strategic skill had waned since his days at the top of [[Omnihelix Academy]]. Instead, Deathsaurus posited that Onslaught could reach his full potential once freed from the shackles of the Elite Guard. By defeating the Guard, the Combaticons could prove they were better than Autobot and Decepticon alike, and become a new symbol of power on post-war Cybertron. Unwilling to appear weak, and lured by the notion of personal power and recognition, Onslaught relented. At this point, the Combaticons were all suitably mollified, ready to follow Deathsaurus's commands while still believing it was ''their'' decision to do so. Deathsaurus sealed the deal with his newly completed combiner technology blueprints, and left Onslaught to plan his attack. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}

As the Combaticons prepared for an attack against their former allies, Deathsaurus turned his attention to other matters. Although he had a seat on the Decepticon War Council, Deathsaurus rarely if ever chose to attend the meetings. Instead, he sent his spokesman, Falcon in his place. With the Council in disarray after the capture of [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] and the merger of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s and [[Photon]]s with Megatron's forces, Deathsaurus decided it was time to act. He sent the unwitting Falcon to the council meeting with a bomb and detonated it, killing his faithful lieutenant and five of the remaining Warlords. With one well-timed explosion, Deathsaurus ensured that only he and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] remained as Decepticon Warlords and rivals for power. Deathsaurus then turned to continue planning with Falcon's replacement, his newly appointed lieutenant and head of the [[Seeker (body-type)|Skyraider-Seeker Brigade]].

His name was [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. {{storylink|A Team Effort}}

[[File:BattleLines3-makeyoupay.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Dude, just use a [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] and spare yourself the effort.]]

Starscream was happy to report to Deathsaurus that the Combaticons, in their new combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], had successfully vanquished the Elite Guard, and that the turncoats were on their way back to Deathsaurus's lair. Despite their victory, Starscream chafed at his commander's plan to welcome them into the Decepticons proper. Starscream feared that the Combaticons were not true Decepticons, but instead using their new allegiance to further their own quest for power. Deathsaurus countered that was what made them the perfect Decepticons, and reminded his new lieutenant that ambition is what separates the Decepticons from the stagnation and complacency of the Autobots. Starscream acquiesced and was ordered by Deathsaurus to help Lyzack prepare the medical bay for the arriving Combaticons. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 1}}

Deathsaurus observed as the Combaticons were repaired, and ordered Constructicons to concentrate on repairing them to the point that they could form Bruticus at Deathsaurus's will. After Bruticus proved to wild to control and was shut down, Starscream admired Deathsaurus's forethought in adding an override to the Combiner. He also warned the Warlord of an Elite Guard squad approaching their base. Deathsaurus ordered Starscream to call the troops to arms. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} He himself took part in the fight, exchanging blows with [[Magnum]] and informing the Autobot that he had done nothing to the Combaticons' minds other than convince them they would be better served by the Decepticon cause. Outraged, Magnum renewed his attack on the self-proclaimed emperor. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}}

[[File:BattleLines5-istillfunction.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"Did I do... good?" "Look, stop stealing other guys' lines!"]]

The Warlord pointed out mockingly that Magnum's backup appeared to be falling flat, at which point the Autobot blasted him in the chest. Magnum took a battering from Lyzack, and Deathsaurus picked himself up to find Magnum and [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] right where he could finish them off. Unfortunately that was when [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]] jumped on him, demanding a [[zap-pony]] ride, and then shot him in his already damaged chest. Deathsaurus ordered a retreat, however the greatest indignity was still to come, as when he got home, he found his throne had been claimed by Megatron. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

Deathsaurus was chained and led into the gladiatorial arena to face Megatron in a ritual contest to decide leadership of the Decepticons. Deathsaurus bitterly observed that if Megatron wanted this to be a fair fight, he would allow him to first repair the injuries that were dealt by Magnum and Sprocket—but Megatron laughed off the notion that he could ever want a fair fight. Megatron defeated Deathsaurus in melee combat, clawed his face off, then blasted him with his fusion cannon at point-blank range for good measure—emerging as the unquestioned leader of the Decepticons. As the troops rallied around their new leader, Lyzack approached her fallen emperor and found that, despite his tremendous damage, he still functioned. The humbled Deathsaurus said he had no choice but to go into exile, and Lyzack agreed to accompany him. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

[[File:PermanentRevolution-Deathsaurus.jpg|thumb|left|200px|His twisted twin obsessions are global domination and the provision of exceptional pension plans to all employees.]]

Deathsaurus was born a [[Decepticon]] during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. He enjoyed a successful career [[cyberforming]] planets, but grew tired of [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s seeming apathy towards the well-being of his troops. Eventually, Deathsaurus broke away from his command and, using a stolen [[Warworld]], led a contingent of his own troops to ravage worlds. Deathsaurus's betrayal placed him on the [[Decepticon Justice Division]]'s [[The List|List]].

When the DJD eventually came, albeit to offer a deal, a disbelieving Deathsaurus tried to preemptively blow up [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]]. Deathsaurus switched off his audio receptors to avoid Tarn's weaponized conversation—but Tarn tapped into the Warworld's [[inter-Decepticon radio]] and bought enough time to offer Deathsaurus a deal: join the DJD in preserving the Decepticon dream and eliminating the then-[[Autobot]] Megatron, in exchange for removing his and his soldiers' names from the List. As a condition, Deathsaurus told Tarn to slay the other members of the DJD as payback for all their past victims, and Tarn refused... which was all Deathsaurus needed to see. Satisfied that his test had proven that Tarn was not so callous about his soldiers' lives as Megatron had been, Deathsaurus agreed to join forces. {{storylink|The Permanent Revolution}}

Months later, the Decepticons ambushed Megatron and his Auto-chums at the [[Mortilus|Necrobot]]'s [[Necroworld|planet]] {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} but, under Tarn's command, they backed off to return at sunset. While being shown Tarn's collection of literary miner corpses (and professing ignorance of early rebel [[Terminus (G1)|Terminus]]), Deathsaurus expressed his troops' frustration that they hadn't just ''killed'' the enemy already. Tarn told him this was an act of psychological torture. Later, he joined the Division in discussing how best to make the final assault. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 2: The Sun in Flight|The Sun in Flight}} When Tarn appeared with [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] in tow, Deathsaurus was more than surprised. Overlord immediately started trying to put him off, until he was shut down by [[Kaon (DJD)|Kaon]]'s death. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 3: Your Fierce Tears|Your Fierce Tears}}

[[File:RageRage DeathsaurusDoubts.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Along with the rest of the army, Deathsaurus amassed outside the Necrobot's fortress in which the Autobots had holed-up. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 4: At Close of Day|At Close of Day}} In the following battle, Deathsaurus noticed the vigor the Autobots were fighting with and when Megatron arrived, he commented on the fact that Megatron found his fire. Despite the fact that Megatron was decimating his men, Deathsaurus reluctantly followed Tarn's order to send all his troops at Megatron. After losing his new [[fusion cannon]], Megatron fell to his knees as Tarn and Overlord stood over him and opened fire. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 5: Rage, Rage|Rage, Rage}} Megatron activated a [[force field|panic bubble]], deflecting their blasts and forcing a temporary stalemate. Shortly thereafter, a psychic attack transmitted from the Necrobot's fortress gave Deathsaurus a moment of conscience, making him reflect on the many troops he had lost following Tarn's commands. Nickel shared his regrets and the two ordered a retreat of the survivors, leaving the D.J.D. to deal with Megatron and the Autobots on their own. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|Do Not Go Gentle}}

Deathsaurus continued to cyberform worlds in his exile. However, when his resource suppliers were slowly taken over by someone operating from the [[Benzene Cluster]], he made plans to investigate. This brought him to the planet [[Frayus]], where, leading forces alongside ''Commander'' Nickel, he joined a battle between the [[Galactic Council]] and the [[Black Block Consortia]]. He did so in defiance of Nickel's instructions to wait until the other two sides had worn each other down a little, and so, not long afterwards, found himself and his troops being stormed by unexpected Consortia reinforcements. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

[[File:WannabeePart1-Deathsaurus.jpg|thumb|right|200px|It's a lovely morning on Probat, and you are a horrible goose.]]

Deathsaurus was Cybertron's ambassador to planet [[Probat (planet)|Probat]], responsible for collecting their energon tributes. Aware of the [[Probat (species)|Probats]]' worship of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and that their echolocation-based vision made them blind to colors, the ambassador brought [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] along with him to serve as a distraction that would allow Deathsaurus to skip out on all the gross inferior creepy-crawly-fleshy parts of his job. When the Probat chief [[Natalus]] showed him the pitiful haul of energon, a suspicious Deathsaurus sniffed around and found a secret stash that Natalus was hoarding. Livid at being lied to, Deathsaurus killed Natalus on the spot just as Cliffjumper ran in, bringing the news that super-heating the Probats' waste created hyper-refined [[energon crystal]]s. Helping himself to the sample, Deathsaurus decided to raze the planet, rewarding Cliffjumper's initiative with a one-time offer to help himself to a portion of the energon. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 1}}

When Cliffjumper made clear that he would not take part in a genocide, Deathsaurus decided that the sanitation engineer could serve as a distraction, shoving him inside a wall and framing him for the murder of Natalus to the Probats while exposing him as a "False Bee". With everyone occupied, Deathsaurus went to work on the spires, once again offering Cliffjumper a chance to join him, noting he would leave enough Probats alive so he could come back and repeat the process in a few megacycles. Disgusted, Cliffjumper charged up a spire and rammed into Deathsaurus, sending the draconic ambassador falling onto a spire and impaling him on the energon. Damaged but alive, Deathsaurus was brought back to Cybertron in a comatose state while Cliffjumper lied that the ambassador had been caught in an accidental explosion when the two had scuttled the energon facility, so there was ''certainly'' no longer a reason for any Cybertronian to visit that planet. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}}

After being repaired, Deathsaurus sought out [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] and indefinitely assigned his energon rations to the con artist in exchange for a [[Simultronic|multiworld immersion couch]]. Once inside the simulation, Deathsaurus spent kilocycles endlessly killing Cliffjumper. {{storylink|War World: Hunt|Hunt}} He was still there over forty cycles later, {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Swindle's II|Swindle's II}} and shortly thereafter [[Exarchon]] opened his immersion couch and took over his spark. {{storylink|Darkness, Once Gazed Upon: Part Three}}

A tyrant and despot - more than often a rogue one - who can rival Megatron, Deathsaurus wields a deadly spiked flail, a destructive energon sword, and a Living-Metal Destroying cannon. Despite his power and abilities, he's perfectly content to hang back and let others do the fighting; after all, he's secure enough in his faith in his strength that he doesn't feel the '''need''' to prove himself to anyone. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Deathsaurus Bio}}

Deathsaurus was on his usual en route to conquer and oppress when [[Star Saber (G1)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Star Saber]] engaged him in a mid-space duel. He ended up trapped and frozen in his own Planet-Destroying Fortress, much to his amusement. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Deathsaurus Research}}

When the Decepticons were attempting to breach the inner sanctum of a Decepticon Fortress in the Arctic, they found Deathsaurus guarding it. He declared that "the universe is arena, and Autobots and Decepticons alike are merely contestants." His appearance scared away Brawl and Starscream. To Starscream's retreat he replied, "Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste death but once!" before returning back into the fortress's halls. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Arctic Saga - What Lies Beneath}}

The Decepticons soon re-approached him, this time with Megatron and the Constructicons.

Megatron attempted to order Deathsaurus to activate the fortress, intending for them to conquer Earth together. But Deathsaurus replied that Megatron overvalues his contribution and worth, and walked away. He then overloaded the energy levels of his fortress, initiating its self-destruction. He then started laughing maniacally, while the rest of the Decepticons and Autobots in the fortress evacuated. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Arctic Saga - The Monster Within}}

After Deathsaurus arrived at the Decepticon Base, Starscream confrontationally demanded to know who he was. Deathsaurus was not impressed, citing that he had faced off against the likes of Megatron and Galvatron, and the former achievement piqued Starscream's interest. Deathsaurus subsequently ordered Starscream to help him find his [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]] and his spiked flail, explaining that he had lost it in space somewhere over the [[Arctic|Arctic Circle]]. After failing to get Deathsaurus to agree to quid pro quo help, Starscream groaned that it was going to be a long night.

During their search, Deathsaurus admitted that he had lost his cannon quite a few times. Starscream then asked if he has something like a car beeper. At first, Deathsaurus was surprised, but then intrigued and wanted to know more.

Soon he encountered Star Saber, and Star Saber immediately assumed he was after Earth and challenged him to a duel. Starscream upon seeing the Autobots took off, and Star Saber's companions left him to let them settle their "legendary" battle. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars|Deathsaurus Research}}

:"Deszaras" transforms into a blue and grey dragon monster. Unusually for late Generation 1 toys, he has [[die-cast]]-metal feet in [[beast mode]].

:Deathsaurus comes packaged with his Breast Animal partners, Tigerbreast and Eaglebreast, which transform from creatures into hand-held weapons for Deathsaurus, and a pair of breastplates which lock into a spring-loaded socket on the toy's body to form elaborate torso armor for the Deathsaurus's [[robot mode]]. Eaglebreast is inserted first, then Tigerbreast fits on top, concealing it; the figures can also be attached while Deathsaurus is in beast mode, which leaves them on his creature mode's back. Deathsaurus also wields a light blue laser rifle with a molded-in flail (which, sadly, cannot be removed) that can be held either by an ordinary handle or by a second peg on its butt that allows it to be brandished like a staff or blade. The dragon's tail unfolds to become the "Death Tailer" shield, which mounts on either of the robot's biceps.

:There is a mold [[variant]] related to the spike on top of Deathsaurus' dragon head. On some specimens this spike's rear surface has a scooped, concave appearance, while on others it is filled in.

: Part of the [[BotCon 2005]] "Descent into Evil" boxset, Deathsaurus is a blue and black [[retool]] of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Megatron (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2001)|Megatron/Galvatron]]. He comes with a pair of swords that can launch their blade-missiles through a pressure-launch mechanism, as well as combine at their bottom ends to form a large double-blade weapon. The blade-missiles are rounded off [[for safety reasons]] like the other [[Hasbro]] uses of the mold. His head is a new sculpt based on Deathsaurus's appearance in the ''Victory'' anime (though Deathsaurus's face seems to be copied from Megatron's).

:Deathsaurus's mold was originally a ten-changer, though the "gargoyle"/bat mode was neutered for this release due to the dropping of the bat snout piece, required to give his new head enough space inside his chest cavity for other modes. He still retains the other nine modes (robot, dragster, jet, [[Popular beast alternate modes|two-headed dragon]], hand, mammoth, hydrofoil, one-headed dragon, and winged griffin). His instructions, however, assign him the six modes of the original RID Megatron, ''including'' the gargoyle and omitting the boat, griffin, mammoth and flying dragon. His tail-piece was removed for in-box storage, but easily popped back on since it's on a ball-and-socket joint.

:Eleven years later, he was retooled again into [[BotCon 2016]]'s ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Generations|Megatron]].

:The third [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] crowdfunded figure for ''Transformers'', "Decepticon Deathsaurus"<ref name="Deathsaurus Pulse">[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-haslab-deathsaurus Hasbro Pulse page] for Deathsaurus's HasLab campaign</ref> is an incredibly cartoon-accurate representation of the character. It is ''so'' cartoon-accurate that the monster mode (now officially called a "griffon-dragon") depicts all the changes the ''Victory'' animators introduced to differ from the original toy, namely its narrow bird-like beak and three-toed feet.

:Like [[Star_Saber_(G1)/toys#HasLab|Victory Saber]], Deathsaurus costs $179.99 USD and requires 11,000 "backers" to go into production. That level would produce Deathsaurus himself, his sword, an "[[Eaglebreast#HasLab|Eaglechest]]" partner (with gun mode) and "[[Tigerbreast#HasLab|Tigerchest]]" partner (now turning into a cartoon-accurate longbow, complete with an arrow). These partners are now officially called "[[Micromaster]]s", even though the toys are easily the size of [[price point|Core-class]] figures. Reaching 14,000 backers would win inclusion for a "weapon pack" - his spiked flail with articulated chain, two sets of triple-stacked Fire Blast effects (to match those that came with HasLab Victory Saber) and his gigantic Living-Metal-Destroying-Cannon. If the project reaches 17,000 backers, the set will additionally include a display stand with an armature that can be arranged alternately for robot or monster mode, and, last but not least, a throne befitting the Emperor of Destruction.

:Hasbro designer [[Evan Brooks]] commented that the initial plan had been to produce Deathsaurus as a Commander-class retail toy for ''Legacy'', but after accounting for the parts required for full functionality of the partner beasts, it made more sense to run it as a HasLab campaign instead.

:The crowdfunding began on [[October 27]], 2022, and runs through [[December 12]] with an expected shipping date of Fall 2023. As of Nov 2. The Campaign has reached 5,500 backers, which mean it is half-way there to reaching 11,000 backers.

*'''Deathsaurus''' (1989)
**''Accessories:''

:A snap-together [[candy toy]] kit produced by [[Kabaya]], ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' Deathsaurus is a small transforming figure made entirely out of a single color of plastic. Versions were produced in red, blue, grey, yellow, or green.

===Transformers Gum===
[[File:Tfgum deszaras.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Deathsaurus got his Prime on it.]]
*'''Deathsaurus''' (1989)
**''Accessories:'' Tail/shield, rifle

:Part of the twelfth wave of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' series of candy toys, this Deathsaurus figure is a snap-together model kit, larger and more detailed than the ''Choco'' kit above, and it shows more visual contrast as it is made from three differently-colored plastic [[sprue]]s (blue, red, and grey). Although lacking any paint applications, the figure features stickers for detail, and retains most of the accessories and features of the actual Deathsaurus toy, though not his Breast Animal partners. It comes with a stick of something that might be gum.

: Amusingly, this coloration makes him heavily resemble the post-''Transformers'' "Red Geist" redeco of the original Deathsaurus toy (see "Notes" below).

:Part of the fifth wave of the "modern" revival of the Transformers Gum series, Deathsaurus once again makes an appearance as a snap-together transforming model kit with stickered detail. It is an entirely new mold featuring much better color-matching with the full-scale toy. Uniquely, this version also incorporates his transformable Breast Animal partners - though they are actually sold separately, with [[Tigerbreast#Transformers Gum|Tigerbreast]] packed in with [[Optimus Prime (WFC)#Transformers Gum|''War for Cybertron'' Optimus Prime]] and [[Eaglebreast#Transformers Gum|Eaglebreast]] included with [[Hot Spot (G1)#Transformers Gum|Hot Spot]].

:A PVC figurine of Deathsaurus was released in the seventh Victory-centric "Act" of Takara's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Deathsaururs was available in both standard full-color version and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one each in a case of twelve. Both of his shoulders have sockets on the outsides to mount his shield accessory, so pick whichever arm you like best.

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

: The pewter version came packaged with the wings of [[Star Saber (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Victory Saber]], one of several extra pieces packed with the various figures from the wave which could combine with the act's Star Saber figure to turn it into Victory Saber. The wings were available in both standard full color (at a rate of eight out of every ten cases) and rare pewter (only two in every ten).

==Notes==
[[File:DeathsaurusAndRedGeist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Definitely not toy-accurate, but definitely awesome.]]

*While often called a [[dragon]] (including on his original box), or a [[griffin]], or a griffon-dragon, or, hilariously, a "bigbird" on his original Japanese [[bio]] card, Deathsaurus is most likely styled after traditional Japanese "kaijū", such as [[Godzilla]] or Rodan. For his appearances in ''Victory'', the animators would play up his bird-like features significantly more than the reptilian aspects.
*The original Deathsaurus mold was redecoed into the non-living "Red Geist" (レッドガイスト ''Reddo Gaisuto'') mech for [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave of Legend Da Garn]]'' toyline, which lacked the Eaglebreast partner. Although the character design in the television show for the line was significantly modified from that of Deathsaurus (see image at right), including reinterpreting Tigerbreast's weapon mode as a jet mode, the Red Geist toy itself was not retooled. [http://tfbaka.de-blog.jp/1dai/2008/08/post_6871.html More on Red Geist at a Japanese toy photoblog.]
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' manga, Deathsaurus is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Inferno (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Inferno]] helmet, the [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]] wing-pack, a thick rifle, a 2x4 "wing" plate attached (somehow) to his arm to replicate the tail-shield... and then there's his chestplate. The plate itself is a 1x1 plate with twin bars and a pair of Starscream arm-guns attached... but it's "connected" to a 2x2 harness piece, which can only be done by adding a 1x2 center-peg plate in between them which is kind of unnecessary since there's a 1x1 harness piece that will do the job nicely, no middle-brick required.

===His stupid name===
Deathsaurus's name is the source of a long-lasting argument. The phonetic Japanese reading of the name is "Desuzarasu" (デスザラス); this is represented in English on his toy packaging and tech specs as "Deszaras". English-speaking fans would long debate the "proper" [[Japanese language|romanization]] of the name, interpreting it as Deszaras, Deathzaras, Deathsaurus, Death Czarus, Death Czaras, and many others. "Deathsaurus" had a tendency to be the most popular and well-known (on account of it actually ''meaning'' something), which led to it being used on the character's first Western toy in 2005, making it his official English-language name.

At [[BotCon 2015]], after decades of such back-and-forth, the designer of the original toy, [[Kōjin Ōno]], confirmed that the name was indeed always supposed to have been "Deathsaurus"... during a panel presentation that rendered the name as "Dethzarasu". It is anyone's guess as to why the original Japanese lettering did not read "saurusu" (サウルス) or "zaurusu" (ザウルス), as had already been done with [[Trypticon (G1)|Dinosaurer]] and [[Zaur (G1)|Zaur]], rather than "zarasu" (ザラス). As such, in the years before that revelation was made clear, the character's name had continued to be spelled "Deszaras" on the [[Metrodome]] and [[Madman Entertainment]] DVD boxsets of the ''Victory'' cartoon as well as in the ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]'' book.

Hasbro product varies on the spelling; first came "Dessaras" for the cancelled 2009 [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] figure. For ''Combiner Wars'' [[Liokaiser#Combiner Wars|Liokaiser]] as part of the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' line in 2016, they used the spelling "Dezarus". "Decepticon Deathsaurus" proper would finally be used once the character received his own HasbLab campaign for a release in 2023.

Breast Animal

2022-10-28T13:34:47Z

Projectus: I know, I was trying to make a joke.

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''A Breast Animal is a drone from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

A '''Breast Animal''' (ブレストアニマル ''Buresuto Animaru''), '''Breastar''' (ブレスター ''Buresutā''), or '''Chest Animal''', is an awkwardly-named symbiotic [[drone]]-type thing generally stored in the breastplate of a member of the [[Breastforce]] (heh, heh...). In a fashion similar to [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s [[Decepticon Mini-Cassette|tape minions]], Breast Animals can be ejected from the host's chest to do their master's bidding, be it kicking [[Autobot]] skidplate, retrieving data from behind enemy lines, or getting a cold beer out of the fridge. They can also form weapons and are an excellent butt to a myriad of off-color jokes... probably why there trying to change there group name.

The Breast Animals include:

*[[Bisonbreast]], [[Killbison]]'s breastplate
*[[Cobrabreast]], [[Deathcobra (G1)|Deathcobra]]'s breastplate
*[[Eaglebreast]], [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]'s breastplate
*[[Hawkbreast]], [[Guyhawk]]'s breastplate

Talk:The Transformers: The Movie

2022-08-23T12:59:04Z

Projectus:

==Another variation==
Hmm, that's odd. The version of the DVD I have has the scrolling text, the "Optimus Prime will return" voiceover, AND the part where Spike lets an "oh shit" slip.
-----------
I saw a Variation on the HUB Network in 2012, that had an extra 2-5 minute voice over that said something like the following "4 million years ago the Autobots and Decepticons crashed landed on Earth, they awoke in the year 1984, and a war started, in the years that followed the Decepticons have defeated the Autobots, it is now 2005, and the Autobots are on the verge of extinction." then the movie started as normal with Unicron eating the planet, then the opening title, then the Narrator doing the "It is the year 2005 and ....."
-------------

==aspect ratio==

When the movie was released it was in 1.78.1 widescreen, But it was animated in 1.33.1 (4:3)
I think widescreen was its original ratio in cinema.
Which is correct? [[User:Asda|Asda]] ([[User talk:Asda|talk]]) 04:02, 3 October 2015 (EDT)
:I don't know what you think you're saying. The movie was animated in fullscreen, then it was cut down from there to widescreen for cinemas. This is what the article says, this is what happened. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 07:59, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

==Shockwave==
Did he die or what? I remember hearing that the original script EXPLICITLY says that he died when Unicron crushed the building he was in, but the actual finished movie is considerably more vague about this... [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 13:53, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
:According to the TFTM script:

ANGLE ON CYBERTRON

Unicron enters shot and grasps at Cybertron with a hideous claw...

ANGLE ON A TOWER ON CYBERTRON

Shockwave talks into a communications device, as alarms sound and troopers run everywhere.

SHOCKWAVE:
Decepticons...we're under attack...Scramble -

Then his voice is cut off as...

SHOCKWAVE'S POV - OUT HIS WINDOW

Unicron's hand reaches towards the window, squeezes, and the walls crash in.

SPACE - UNICRON AND CYBERTRON

Unicron tears off the tower and crushes it as...

A FLEET OF DECEPTICON SHIPS

streak out of Cybertron and begin firing on the enormous planet.

Here, we see the true scale of Unicron. The fighters are the size of bees as they attack.

-- While Shockwave's character model sometimes appeared in the third season (once in grey, once in Constructicon Green), I'm not sure that a properly-colored Shockwave ever showed up post-movie - not that that would necessarily mean anything in light of Evil Zombie Brawn And Huffer from Carnage In C Minor. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 18:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

*That's pretty much what I figured. Shockwave kindasorta dies, and doesn't show up properly ever again, so you could argue that he's dead. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 19:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

He doesn't even kindasorta die in the final cut of the movie. He just has that one shot then we never see him again. No tower-crushy, no nothing. So it can really be argued either way. [[User:M Sipher|M "I'd Hesitate To Make A Call Either WAy" Sipher]]

Could those season 3 episodes Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3 and Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4 animation errors be his clones?.

==German Dub==

Does anyone know who spoke all the roles in the german dubbing? i can't find that info anywhere on the net, and neither on the german dvd :(

:You should not look for the cast of the dvd version because, first the dub is tital crap, second the voiceactors are unknown, there are no information which studio did the dub nor who directed the dub. You can find the dublist here: http://215072.homepagemodules.de/t511208f11776731-Transformers-Kampf-um-Cybertron.html

==The?==
Shouldn't this article be called "The Transformers: The Movie"? That is the film's full title, isn't it? --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 06:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

==Here's a question.==

Do we really need the (1986) at the end of this? It's not like "Transformers: The Movie" redirects to a disambiguation page with this and the '07 movie, or that the '07 movie is titled something different. It just seems...redundant, don't you think? There's only 'one' TFTM, and this is it. That, and I highly doubt there's gonna be another "Transformers: The Movie" within the next five or even ten years--when this Wiki would, realistically, still be operating. So yeah. Shouldn't we can that?
:[[Transformers: The Movie (Marvel comic)]] exists. As will "The Transformers: The Animated Movie (comic)" for the current adaptation when someone gets around to it. We do need to have a disambiguation system for them though. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 02:37, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
::I agree with the above, but am inclined to say this article still doesn't need a paranthetical in its title, it being far more prominant than the other Transformers: The Movies. Of course, the last time I moved an article that has disambiguation to the non-parenthetical location I got a bunch of people saying "WTF?" even though that's what [[Help:Disambiguation]] has said to do since I wrote it back at the dawn of time. (See "Talk:Constructicon".) --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 06:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
::Walky's point: Then I don't really see the relevance of the year. On top of that, all of those have different titles; there's no real conflict. It's kinda the same principle as [[Kremzeek]] and [[Kremzeek!]]. Just note that the reader may be looking for whatever at the top. [[User:Interrobang|Interrobang]] 09:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

== Worth Noting...somewhere ==

I found my old VHS version of the movie, and it refers to the Decepticons reformatted by Unicron as the "Unicrons." Just wanted to point that out. -- [[User:Hunter-113|Hunter-113]] 18:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
:Though officially publishedd, the Aaustralian character bios are generally ignored because-- Bwuh?
:Hasbro/Dreamworks recently put out some bios of the movie characters-- describing half the cast in terms of their cartoon versions, including events that did not occur in the movie. At some point you have to say "no, there's no point in trying to integrate that."
:I think poorly-conceived DVD extras (or VHS extras as the case may be) since they really don't stand on their own but only reflect the producer's (often limited) understanding of the source material are one of those ignored-unless-useful things.

:I've for some time wondered what aspect ratio this movie is best viewed in, and suspect that while intended as 4:3, given that widescreen presentations reveal at least a bit more edge, the film is ideally considered something between 4:3 and 1.85:1, say 1.66:1? I'll have to to rip my DVD and make a comparative study with my HD copy to see what's best, though there are some good comparisons on-line:[http://www.hometheaterforum.com/topic/234130-the-transformers-the-movie-1986-20th-anniversary-dvd/page-7], [http://www.cybernetspacecube.com/tftm/technical_details.shtml]. If they ever release it to Blu-ray in the US, I'd prefer they get this right once and for all. (But then why release it to Blu-ray in the States? It would of course not sell at all(?!)

1.77:1 aka 16:9 is fine. The animation while sometimes painting outside of this ratio, was animated with this ratio in mind. 99% of films that are shown on TV or in the Cinema in the 16:9 aspect ratio and weren't made in the last 10 years, were photographed in 4:3 but with the intention that they would have top and bottom of the picture cropped off. The cinematography takes this into account. The reason there is stuff outside the 16:9 border is so a 4:3 transfer would be "Acceptable" but it is not preferred.

== Poster Caption ==

Hm,, I'm thinking about changing the caption on the poster at the top to "If your favorite Transformers character isn't on this poster, it's best to start grieving now." The current caption is just a bit misleading, since none of the characters on the poster died (as they were all brand new toys (except for [[Arcee (G1)|the ones who didn't get toys]])).

"Who the hell are those guys and where's Prime?" Or stick with the current, honestly. - Some Guy 22 March 2008

What about a caption pointing out that the only major characters on the poster are Galvatron and Unicron? It shows Ultra Magnus in the spotlight, and while he kicked some aft at the Battle of Autobot City, he was not the hero. The heroes were Optimus and Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime. Rodimus Prime, whom we could call, "Sir Not-Appearing-On-This-Poster." So the poster is a bit misleading, and as good pedants we should point that out somewhere.

== Blitzwing animation error ==

In the battle for Autobot City, when Prime drives up behind the Decepticons, Blitzwing turns his head and its color changes to purple for a split second. However, when he turns it back its tan again. Just thought we should add this under animation errors.-[[User:Proconix|Proconix]] 20:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Proconix

== more animation errors ==

Watched the Movie again today and this is what I found. In the scene where Blaster ejects his tapes, He first ejects what looks like Eject. He stays blue up until he gets to the edge of the screen. He then turns black like Rewind. Then Blaster ejects a another blue cassette, which after about a second, turns black. This one gets through half his transformation colored black, then turns blue for a split second then turns black again. And later when the cassettes are fighting each other, Eject runs in from the left and jumps over Perceptor. And then he runs in from the left ''again'' to shoot Ravage. Im gonna go ahead and add these.-[[User:Proconix|Proconix]] 17:43, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Proconix

I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen."

==Japanese TFTM==
Someone has uploaded the entire thing, in fifteen parts, to youtube.

:[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=トランスフォーマーザムービー TFTM In Japanese]

If anyone who has time to kill or knows the language (preferably both!) wants to go through it to document any significant changes from the US version that we don't already have, that'd be great. I already noticed, watching the first part, that the Japanese version uses the "Star Wars" text-scroll of the UK version, though the narrator doesn't actually seem to be reading a translation of the text {{m-}} I caught him voicing a reference to Unicron the text doesn't have. And, skipping ahead, Grimlock appears to refer to his "me Grimlock kick butt" moment as his "Kick Attack". Erm.

There's also something I'd sort of like confirmed... I've heard a rumor that the Japanese-dubbed Junkions, instead of talking in TV quotes, all have Chinese accents. But I have no idea if it's true.

Adding a screenshot with someone's function and name in kanji/kana from the movie would also be neat, I think. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 10:19, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
:Immediately noticed they added speech to the Lithone part - in the original version, the Lithonians don't speak at all before the "Look, it's Unicron!" line. -[[User:Mazenoise|Mazenoise]] 10:31, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
::I have to wonder if a list of every slight dialogue alteration would really be a good idea. I've owned the thing on VHS for a while and, well, there are a LOT of dialogue changes. And I don't mean anything important, like some added in line revealing Unicron is actually Motormaster's grandfather or whatever. I mean itty bitty changes, like the aforementioned "Kick attack" from Grimlock, Megatron specifically ordering the Insecticons to breach Autobot City's defenses and so on. A list of every slight dialogue change would be...massive (especially since the dub ''added'' so much dialogue during scenes that were previously silent). We currently have a handful of examples in the "Japanese release" section of the article that I think suffice. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 11:17, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
:::Well, bear in mind that my suggestion was ''document any '''significant''' changes''. Random yattering is one thing, yeah, but I was curious as to whether there were any major changes, such as characters talking when they didn't originally have ''any'' dialogue at all... like, the Lithones talking in the opening qualifies to me, because I think it may be the only time the Lithone scientist speaks in fiction. (Which in turn makes me wonder if he's given an official title in the Japanese credits for the film; it'd qualify him for an article.)
:::I do feel that bringing up the scrolling text is noteworthy, since we note it up in the other countries' entries. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 12:25, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

== Voice credits ==

I filled in the voice credits in the "featured characters" chart from the film credits. I think some of them, like Gears and Brawn have voice credits, but no actual lines. There may also be some characters that have uncredited speaking roles (I don't know for sure). Just an FYI if anyone wants to adjust the chart. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 10:59, 18 August 2009 (EDT)
:I think the inaccurate cast listing is simply a case of whoever animated the credits confusing characters. Gears has a VA but doesn't speak, however, Scavenger (also voiced by Don Messick) clearly speaks on Junkion when he's attacking Danielle with Scrapper. Gears briefly appears in the movie on Moon Base 1, but has no speaking lines. I also wonder if this is why Prowl is credited (Bell also voiced Swopp who speaks on Quintessa), however, I believe Prowl had some lines in the original script that may have been recorded but not animated.

== Jettison some weight ==

Why is this listed as confusing? Aside from the (common) misuse of weight for mass I see nothing weird here. The more mass there was on board Astrotrain, the more fuel that would be needed to push him to Cybertron. Therefor, dumping extra mass makes sense. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 16:47, 17 September 2009 (EDT)
:I agree. Astrotrain was just using common speech. People don't often say things like "jettison some mass". If Astrotrain says he needs to lighten up, it stands to reason it is because he is still accelerating and too much weight would make it more difficult to accelerate. He is still accelerating because when they threw the bodies overboard, they quickly fell back. If they had already reached top speed, they would just float along side Astrotrain. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 23:23, 17 September 2009 (EDT)
::Plus, how close is Cybertron to Earth? If the Decepts didn't want to settle down for a multi-year trip, Astrotrain must have been going FTL, at which point all bets about moving without burning fuel are off. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 23:26, 17 September 2009 (EDT)
:::But maneuvering to land later would be made at sublight, normal inertial conditions. Less mass would be useful then. Basically, less mass is always better for movement. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 04:23, 18 September 2009 (EDT)

:::How much fuel does it take to get from Cybertron to Earth, I wonder. The whole battle of Autobot city seems to take place over one night, and Optimus' shuttle makes it from Cybertron to Earth in that time, implying that both it and the hijacked Autobot shuttle were going faster than light speed. The whole reason the hijacked shuttle was going to Earth in the first place was to pick up more energy, ergo it must take much less than one shipload of energy to get a shuttle at FTL speeds from Cybertron to Earth and back. They either have really efficient FTL drives, or really efficient energy storage. Or both.
:::Of course we've seen that [[Microbots|one energon cube is enough to get a full-sized Transformer drunk off his can]], so perhaps it's the latter. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 05:00, 18 September 2009 (EDT)

:::There were several scenes in "Apollo 13" where the stranded astronauts in the capsule and their Houston support crew had to do all those calculations about the amount of weight (or mass, whatever) they could have in the capsule versus the amount of fuel they could burn in order to get home alive. Common sense understanding actually wins in this case, I think. Also, all bets are off as to how far Cybertron is from Earth in TFTM, considering "The Ultimate Doom". --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 07:59, 18 September 2009 (EDT)
::::In Apollo 13, they did mass calculations to: 1) be able to escape Moon's gravity, 2) project a course to slingshot around the moon, 3) make any necessary course corrections. ''All'' of those are aspects of acceleration. In a constant velocity situation, jettisoning mass does not make you go any faster, as momentum is divided proportionally with mass. -[[User:Noviere|Noviere]] 11:16, 18 September 2009 (EDT)
:::::It wasn't a constant velocity situation. If it were, when Starscream dropped Megatron out the door, Megatron would just float alongside. They were accelerating and more mass means more force needed to accelerate. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 11:21, 18 September 2009 (EDT)

:::::::You added that they were going faster than light as a fact, but do we know that?

::::::::Well, of COURSE they're going faster than light. Otherwise Quintessa and Junkion and Cybertron would all be in Earth's solar system.

==Cast Layout==

The cast lay out has the Insecticons and Seekers listed next to their Unicronian counterpart. This is a major problem considering it lists Skywarp as Cyclonus and Bombshell as the Armada. Now, ignoring the fact that in all honesty the Skywarp is Cyclonus argument is based solely on people preferring it that way, surely the ambiguity should be recognised, and they should be listed as separate characters, but add in a note or something (especially since it gives him a VA when he didn't have any confirmed lines). Also, I think listing the Heralds next to their formers is very iffy when either the originals didn't speak in the movie or the new forms didn't speak. Now, I'd just go ahead and change it but I want to know what the official stance is here, cause it seems like an injection of fanon into a fairly major article. [[User:Eire]] 13.49 Jan 13 2010
:An anon user did that. He also went through a lot of trouble to put their order of appearance number in there, even though it is set to "nonumbering=true". Both changes could be reverted. Sorry anon guy. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 10:08, 13 January 2010 (EST)

==Snarl==
On the "four Dinobots" paragraph, it specifically mentions Swoop as the absent Dinobot whenever Snarl appears. However, Swoop is clearly the far-left Dinobot standing in the Quintesson ship window scene (the screen cap is actually on the page next to this paragraph). Are we sure it isn't Sludge thats missing, or maybe Sludge one time and Swoop another time?
:At the scene in Autobot City where Snarl appears, the other Dinobots present are the original trio, Grimlock, Slag, and Sludge. When Snarl next appears, Swoop is present, and you are correct, it seems to be Sludge who isn't in that shot (however, he is in the one immediately following). I believe it should be rewritten to something akin to "When he ''does'' appear, another Dinobot is missing. Hmm." Either way, it's somewhat interesting that all the Dinobots are never on screen at the same time. --[[User:NCZ|NCZ]] 17:05, 10 April 2010 (EDT)

== Big find! Jim Sorenson has made the original Ron Friedman script available ==

At http://boltax.blogspot.com

I started this thread for discussion at tfw2005 as well: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/347571-early-ron-friedman-draft-tftm-available-download.html

There is a LOT of material that could enrich this article, particularly in the "Notes" section. Not to mention Friedman's own article, since we now have a better idea of what he contributed.

It's well worth a read. Certainly wasn't suitable to be the finished film, due to extreme length, some super-clunky dialogue, and the fact that the plot just kind of falls apart toward the end.

The imagery is really something though, a lot of ideas that never made it into any future Transformers project. The battle scenes are also noticeably more graphic. Probably the biggest (and oddest) change is no Matrix, and the concept substituted is the "Life Spark" of Optimus himself. The Life Sparks of other Decepticons and Megatron also play a role (you can likely guess how). {{unsigned|97.77.78.14}}

Now Wikipedia, as I understand it, is stupid when it comes to articles about Transformers that were not influenced by TFWiki.

Okay here is something I just can't figure out. It has been stated in several sources that both Transformers: The Movie, and G.I. Joe: The Movie were in production at the same time, and in fact G.I. Joe was meant to be released first. However, Transformers' 1986 season took place after the movie while G.I. Joe's 1986 season predates the movie. Unless Transformers was going to postpone their season by a whole year, there is no way G.I Joe's film could predate Transformers or even be shown in the same year.

Something that I think is often missed is that when Starscream is in his corination gear, it's not just the crown, shoulder pads and cape. He's also got a much bigger chest and enlarged forearms. I'm guessing it's deliberate, but those modifications are never mentioned when that form is (in, say, his Masterpiece toy). I'm aware that we don't want this page drowning in trivia, but is that worth noting? [[User:LiamK|LiamK]] 18:18, 5 November 2013 (EST)
:Those two things just seem to be stylized elements of the animation in that particular scene. Check out Ramjet when he and Astrotrain are standing behind Starscream just as he does his cape-flourish - he's got the big pecs and swollen forearms too. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 18:42, 5 November 2013 (EST)

== Metroplex ==

Should Metroplex be added to the cast last? The consensus on his relation to Autobot City here is kinda murky [[User:Riddlerj|Riddlerj]] ([[User talk:Riddlerj|talk]]) 12:48, 21 November 2013 (EST)

== Star Wars captions? ==

[[File:ShockwaveBattleAutobotcity.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|I think I can see my home from here!]]

Should we replace this with a quote from ''Star Wars''? Maybe one of these lines from when R2-D2 and C-3PO launch their escape pod:
*- Imperial gunner: "Hold your fire. There's no life forms."
*- C-3PO: "That's funny--the damage doesn't look as bad from out here."

== character list ==

On many articles, TFWiki lists characters sorted first by faction, then by order of appearance (with numbers indicating order of appearance regardless of faction). Is there a reason TFTM's article does not follow that pattern? Is there some other organizational method in use? Not alphabetical by character or by voice actor, clearly.

i'm fairly certain these earlier discussions are not relevant to this matter, but just in case:

"*Also curiously absent are the 1985 Autobot cars and Mini-Vehicles, such as Inferno, Smokescreen, Cosmos, Warpath, etc. It would seem that these characters were available at the time of the movie:

==Cybertron's Moons==

Hey guys, first contribution here and thought i would share some of my minor knowledge in the hopes the entry might get a possible explaination note added to it (Similar to the note that says Magnus second matrix placement was just an Adjustment)

I wouldnt class a third visible moon as a mistake, not from a pure technical standpoint at least (it probably is from a lore standpoint) but depending on a number of factors (and i apologise for turning all Perceptor here) such as orbital height, radius, apogee ect its totally possible to find moons that have not been observed yet whilst taking pictures of others

For example (and its loose ..since the planet is pretty large in comparison and the two are technically captured asteroids) Mars two moons Phobos and Deimos are rarely photographed together because they are so small and have different orbital planes

Similarly their are 4 large Julian (Jupiter) moons (Io, Europa, Calisto, Ganymede) and its rare to get them all in one shot during a flyby

Its possible the third moon is behind Cybertron most of the time or is out of shot because its orbit takes it far out,and also quite possible that it is boring, the other two moons have bases on them making them scenes in the movie,it may exist but simply not have been mentioned, after all plenty of planet shots exist in the carton that show the planet having no moons at all, moons being added for the film

Now correct me if im wrong but im sure i once heared the third moon was an unused plot point in a story (movie,comic or otherwise) once upon a time

But even if this isnt true i think an addendum should be added saying that the moon could just be out of shot most of the time ....or something along those lines

Anyways ..keep up the good work

==Ultra Magnus==
Back around 2015, I purchased a Korean bootleg of the film off eBay under the assumption it was the authentic one. It can be switched between Korean and English, the English versions audio is normal. The Korean audio has the music tracks awkwardly looping halfway through the song. Until this weekend, I didn’t pick up on the whole “being shot apart by the sweeps bit”, but my copy had magnus ripped apart by single laser beams. The animation was the same as the finished product, but purple laser beam thingies wrapped around his shoulders, hips, head, and elbows if I remember correctly . Sadly, the disk got lost when I moved about 6 months ago. Has anyone else found a copy like this? [[User:YourBestPal|YourBestPal]] ([[User talk:YourBestPal|talk]]) 17:57, 23 December 2018 (EST)

QUOTE

The very first draft of the classic “The Transformers: The Movie” was recently revealed at TFNation, presented by Jim Sorenson and Chris McFeely for all the attendants.

This was the first script written for the movie, outlined in late summer 1984 and finished by February 1985. A copy was for Flint Dille in 2020 and the information was used for the TFNation panel.

For those who missed out on the convention panel, Chris McFeely has retold the story across three twitter threads:

Gilthor

2022-08-06T21:28:44Z

Projectus: /* References */ Flame toy release

{{factions|quintesson|decepticon}}
:''Gilthor is a [[Quintesson]] creation from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:Guiltaur.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I was [[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]] ''before'' it was cool!]]

The Colossal Cannon Soldier '''Gilthor''' (ギルトール ''Girutōru'') is a bizarre, vicious fusion of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], built by the [[Quintesson]]s. Created from the same [[Cybertonium]] alloys which made Optimus Prime so resilient, and boasting a Destrogun many times more powerful than Megatron's [[fusion cannon]], his combat power exceeds his predecessors' in nearly every way.

Gilthor, however, is ultimately a lifeless shell, animated by the ghost of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], causing him to succumb to the same weaknesses as the Decepticon jet.

==Fiction==
===''Transformers 2010'' story pages===
When the [[Quintesson]]s stole [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Dark Awakening (episode)|dead body and brought it back to life as a rampaging zombie]], they used his specifications to help create Gilthor. Teaming with the [[Decepticon]]s, they also obtained [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s specifications, completing their work of art.

Built with the same [[Cybertonium]] alloy as Prime and boasting a Destrogun more powerful than Megatron's [[fusion cannon]], Gilthor was also built to be able to combine his Destrogun with his shoulder artillery and Active Revolver to create the super destructive "Bazooka Storm" attack. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010 (story page)|A Mysterious Decepticon Soldier Appears. He is the Colossal Cannon Soldier Gilthor!}}

===''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers''===
[[File:Gilthor-vehicle.jpg|left|180px|thumb|It's a better truck mode than THS Convoy, at least]]

Gilthor rose from the sea off Japan, seeking out [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], who was engaged in a one-on-one battle with [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Just as Rodimus appeared to gain a decisive victory over his enemy, Gilthor attacked Rodimus from behind with a variety of artillery modes, sending the Autobot leader flying. As it turned out, the one-on-one showdown Galvatron had invited Rodimus Prime to was in reality a trap.

[[File:Gilthor-revolverlaser.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Here's your tickets to the GUN SHOW.]]

Galvatron revealed that Gilthor was a Transformer created by the Quintessons, who had risen up the ranks of the Decepticons... because apparently, Galvatron doesn't have any accumulated memory whatsoever. As Galvatron gloated over his fallen enemy, praising Gilthor's obedience, Gilthor snuck behind him and attacked, savagely beating Galvatron and kicking him to where Rodimus had fallen. His true intentions were revealed: Gilthor was gunning for leadership of the Decepticons, which even a concussed box turtle could have seen coming. But not Galvatron.

Down, Galvatron revealed to Rodimus that Gilthor was built using the combined skills and essences of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], making him a most formidable adversary. With no other choice but to cooperate, the two faction leaders teamed up against their new common foe. Rodimus transformed into vehicle mode and rammed the unsuspecting Gilthor, Galvatron following-up with a blast in cannon mode. The two then joined in a combined "Galvatron/Rodimus Kick", destroying Gilthor's body. Much to their surprise, Starscream's ghost floated free of the shattered chassis. As if to rub it in his face, Rodimus reminded Galvatron that, obviously, the Quintessons could not be trusted. The two went their separate ways for now, both too weak from Gilthor's attacks to continue the fight. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 4|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers #4}}

{{--}}

==Notes==
[[Image:GuiltorPrelim01.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Mega-mouth!]]
* Gilthor's preliminary head design did not feature Optimus Prime's faceplate; effectively, he looked like [[Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future|Megatron wearing an Optimus hat]]! The early name of Gilthor in the conceptual art is "Convotron", a portmanteau of "'''Convo'''y" and "Mega'''tron'''".
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' comics, Gilthor is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] helmet and presumably smokestacks (doubling as extra arsenal), backpack-pieces to hold the smokestacks, and the [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]] arm-rifles. Due to the small image of his so-far solitary appearance and being partially obstructed by [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]], the identities of the precise pieces are uncertain.

===Name===
For years, there was no "official" word on either the origin or the [[Japanese language|Romanization]] of the character's name (as there were any number of ways to spell it from the katakana, with variations of "'''Guiltaur'''" being the most commonly-used, such as on this wiki). When asked on Twitter in 2019, Gilthor's co-creator [[Masumi Kaneda]] stated that he was inspired to name the character after an evil submarine (also ギルトール ''Girutōru'') from an old Japanese superhero show called ''{{w|National Kid}}'' (as the ''Transformers'' Gilthor also emerges from the seabed). He further proposed that, in English, the name be interpreted as a combination of "Gil" (the man's name) and "[[Thor]]" (the god, although using a non-English pronunciation closer to "Tor").<ref>{{twitter|はじめまして。「ギルトール」は玩具、アニメとは関係しないオリジナルキャラクターです。海外、特にブラジルで有名な日本の特撮ヒーロー「ナショナルキッド」に登場した潜水艦の名前をリスペクトしました。英語読みはGil(人名)+Thor(神)で良いと思います。|https://twitter.com/KanedaMasumi/status/1137684436172980224|Masumi Kaneda|2019|06|09}}</ref><ref>{{twitter|本家はgill。鰓ですね。ギルマンのギルです。漫画のギルトールも海底から出現します。|https://twitter.com/KanedaMasumi/status/1137835630145093632|Masumi Kaneda|2019|06|09}}</ref>

Transformers: Generations (Japan)

2022-08-02T21:41:19Z

Projectus: /* Fiction */

{{disambig3|Generations}}

{{Nav-GensTakTom}}
'''''Transformers: Generations''''' (トランスフォーマージェネレーションズ ''Toransufōmā Jenerēshonzu'') is a [[TakaraTomy]] toyline that was sold from [[2012]] to [[2014]]. Unlike its [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Hasbro counterpart]], which it shares visual elements with, it only sold product from the ''Fall of Cybertron'' and ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' range of toys, being preceded by ''[[Transformers United]]'' (which sold product from the first phase of Hasbro ''Generations'').

Similarly to ''United'', Japanese ''Generations'' figures were given "premium" paint jobs, being coated in shiny paint and featuring numerous additional paint details. Unlike ''United'', which characterized all of its toys as versions of the traditional Generation 1 characters, the ''Fall of Cybertron'' characters were given profiles that more closely matched their "[[Aligned continuity family|Aligned]]" characterization, although whether TakaraTomy considered ''Fall of Cybertron'' a thing wholly separate from Generation 1 isn't clear.

Japanese ''Generations'' was succeeded by ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' (which sold versions of Hasbro's ''Generations'' product from halfway of ''Thrilling 30'' to ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'') and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' (which included counterparts of combining toys from ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'').

==Fiction==
''Generations'' received some fiction to support its product, mostly for the big-ticket Metroplex and exclusives sold through the ''[[Transformers Generations (series)|Generations]]'' book series.

{{chapters|title="Wars" series (''Generations'')

}}

''Generations''' primary fiction came in the form of the first six entries of the series of short comics in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity]] informally known as the "Wars" series, written and drawn by infamous [[Transformers: Kiss Players (franchise)|''Kiss Players'']] scribe [[Yuki Ohshima]], thankfully here on his best behavior. Picking up on the plot threads left by the prior [[Transformers United EX|United EX]] toyline, ''Metrowars'' and its sequel ''Train Wars'' relate the fallout of the events of ''[[Transformers: Zone|Zone]]'' and the ensuing struggles of the [[Titan (group)|citybot]]s and [[Trainbot]]s respectively. "Wars" would prove to outlive ''Generations'', pivoting to the [[The Transformers: Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'']] franchise with "[[Rodimus Wars]]" in 2015.

*"[[Starscream's New Power]]"

This story by [[Guido Guidi]] follows [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] on a brief misadventure as he harasses his fellow Decepticons with newfound cloaking technology. The comic is notably for taking place in a unique [[micro-continuity]] unrelated to the original cartoon, unlike [[TakaraTomy]]'s usual Generation 1 fare.

*"[[Badlands (issue)|Badlands]]"

This [[e-HOBBY]] story by returning United EX story team [[Andrew Hall]] and [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] chronicles the adventures of new characters [[Magnificus (G1)|Magnificus]] and [[Ga'mede]] in the [[Iron Town|wild west town]] from [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|''Victory'''s]] first episode. It is notable for containing a rare on-panel appearance by the Decepticon High Regent [[Scrash (G1)|Scrash]], the mysterious antagonist of [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (franchise)|''Operation Combination'']].

===''End of G1 Universe''===
Untite was created as a [[Cyborg Beast]] who could only eat the dead by [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]].

Eons later, Untite used a dead [[Earth]] as his personal buffet due to the amount of [[Transformer]] battles that took place on it throughout history. It was there he smelled the body of [[Lio Convoy|Leo Prime]] brought to the planet by [[Bluebolt]]. Summoning an undead [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] to restrain the [[Maximal]], Untite approached the lion to eat him, only to be repelled by the ritual Bluebolt already set in place; the body was revived as the new being [[Dark Amber Leo Prime]], who Untite initially took to be Unicron himself. Dark Amber was unsure as to his identity, leading Untite to conclude that he could kill and consume this newly born being to gain greater power. Untite managed to severely wound Dark Amber with his "Genocide Cutter", but the black lion was able to recover by consuming some dirt—it being a part of the planet and sustenance for a planet eater, after all—and took down the Seeker to Untite's consternation. {{Storylink|Dark Amber Leo Prime (First)}}

==Notes==
*Untite is a [[virtual redeco]] of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Jawbreaker#Beast Wars|Jawbreaker]], with the mold's [[Transmetal 2]] design being repurposed to be a [[Cyborg Beast]].
*The closest thng we can think of his name origin coming from a Dj Lawy song of the name.

**''Level'': '''2 Star'''
**''Accessories'': 2 shield-blades

: Part of the originally-planned sixth Series of ''[[Transformers: BotBots (toyline)|BotBots]]'', Dumpy Downer transforms into a toilet. Yup! The top of the toilet tank separates to become a pair of shield-blades that can attach to their arms or be hand-held in robot mode, making them one of the few BotBots with an accessory, and one of the ''very'' few with two (the others being [[Shifty Gifty]] and [[Bonehead the Unbrave]]).

: They are ''supposed'' to be available in the "Toilet Tank Surprise Unboxing" sets, as one of six BotBots in ten mystery capsules (the other four having stickers inside). However, as Series 6 has not yet seen release (and it's questionable if it ever will), we do not know what the package breakdowns for those were planned to be. That said, Downer and [[Jolly Germ-Dodger]] are shown in stock imagery as two bots available in clear capsules in at least one version of the set.

Cybertronian legend speaks of a coming apocalypse, a dire threat that will imperil the citizens of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and perhaps all of reality itself. But the origins of the '''Dark Cybertron prophecy''' are more complicated than anyone could have imagined...

==Text==
''A sunrise dark shall cast pall upon the empire. And time will rust. And he shall stand alone while not alone. And adorned the titan will be in black metal. And the stars shall scream. And the symbol of the uncreator shall be clear. And his gaze shall unravel the legacy of Primus. Thus shall the adversary rise. A black star. Unstopped and unstoppable.''

And the six-sided architect Freethinking Unblinking Holds the fate of all things In the palm of his hand.''

==Fiction==
===2005 IDW continuity===
The Dark Cybertron prophecy began as a story told by [[Onyx Prime]] to a profoundly drunk [[Alchemist Prime]] some twelve million years ago, during the initial period of unification that would later lead to the rise of the [[Thirteen]]. Onyx's newfound storytelling skills, which included talk of a "chosen one" and an [[Autobot|insignia]], were of some concern to [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], who wondered if he had begun telling tales for his own benefit. {{storylink|Origin Myths}} Unbeknownst to the assembled Primes, "Onyx Prime" was an identity assumed by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], who had been flung back in time after attempting to bring about the same prophecy. Using his foreknowledge of Cybertron's history, he deliberately sowed the seeds of the legend that his younger self would one day discover and act upon it. In doing so, he incorporated clues into the texts, even including an image of his own face as the dreaded "false prophet" who would unmake reality. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

The barbarian warrior [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]—who was present for this unification—believed that Alchemist came up with the prophecy himself. {{storylink|Onyx Interface Part One: Signals, Calls, and Marches|Signals, Calls, and Marches}} The prophecy was eventually recorded in the [[Covenant of Primes]]; after the fall of the Thirteen and the rise of [[Nova Prime]] it became of interest to Nova Prime's chief scientist, [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]], and eventually found its way into the hands of his student, the younger Shockwave, who was inspired to plant a "seed" of self-regenerating ore that would eventually form the basis of his [[Regenesis]] project. {{storylink|Shockwaves}} During his time as a professor at the [[Jhiaxian Academy of Advanced Technology]], Shockwave taught some of his closest students about the prophecy, including [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]].

Many millions of years later, following the [[empurata]] and [[shadowplay]] that left the younger Shockwave an emotionless husk of his former self, the Decepticon scientist turned his attention back towards the endgoal of his Regnesis project: inspired by the Dark Cybertron prophecy, he would combine the powers of his ores and collapse all of reality into a single point, "the black star" that the prophecy foretold, and provide Cybertron with enough energy to last forever in the timeless void. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} While imprisoned, Scoop began researching the Covenant and found evidence that seemingly suggested that [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]], the supposed "Chosen One," was referred to in the prophecy.

Thanks to the ontological nature of Shockwave's [[time travel]], the Dark Cybertron prophecy seemingly foretold many of the events over the course of the ensuing crisis: he was met with resistance from Starscream, who was shocked to learn of his seeming involvement in the ancient prophecy, and his onslaught was indeed heralded by the rise of [[Quintessa (IDW)|Necrotitan]]. {{storylink|Black Metal: Dark Cybertron Chapter 2|Black Metal}}

Following Shockwave's defeat, and the inadvertent [[time travel]] that cast him twelve million years into the past, it was assumed that the prophecy had been negated. Years later, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]] experienced a nightmare after annexing [[Earth]] into the [[Council of Worlds]] involving the prophecy—one that seemingly cast ''him'' as the "false prophet." {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

In the hours before "Onyx Prime" returned to Cybertron, Alpha Trion noted that Scoop had been instrumental in uncovering the Dark Cybertron prophecy, though Scoop's internal crisis of faith led him to wonder if Starscream really was the Chosen One. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}}

As his mind was downloaded into a new body, Optimus Prime experienced another nightmare of the prophecy. {{storylink|Unstopped and Unstoppable}}

Before the final battle with [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] noted that, despite both the legendary uncreator and the prophecy itself being products of Shockwave's machinations, the Chaos Bringer's actions had quite accurately fulfilled the prophecy. {{storylink|A Sunrise Dark}}

'''Race for your life, Cheesy Burg!'''

==Synopsis==
[[Ulf the Orange]] and [[Fottle Barts]] are discussing their disappointment with [[Lost Bots]]' most recent failure; Ulf is upset that they ruined [[Bot Prom]], while Fottle is upset about a seeming missed chance with that "kinda cute" [[Clogstopper]]. No, we're not sure how to respond to that either. The two split up, and a hissed "whistle!" leads Ulf to investigate the source: [[Burgertron]] hiding in the planter. He tries to convince Ulf that Bot Prom wasn't their fault, and that he thinks [[Spud Muffin]] is trying to sabotage him. Ulf can't believe Spud is capable of that, and has some unkind words for her former love-of-her-life before leaving. Burgertron slumps in defeat... right onto a poster for the [[Ruckus Rally (event)|Ruckus Rally]].

In the [[Lost and Found (BotBots)|Lost and Found]], Burgertron explains the no-holds-barred race to the other Lost Bots, which is held only on nights the security guard is off duty, like tonight as [[Dave (BotBots)|Dave]] has managed to give himself a horrific case of intestinal distress. [[Kikmee]] is absolutely stoked to compete, but [[Dimlit]] notes they don't have a car...

...and Burgertron takes them to one of the restrooms to reveal the hidden [[Racer-Roni]], a pizza-based race car he built back when he was still in the [[Greaser Gang|Hunger Hubs]]. The racers are two-bot affairs, with one driver and a "launcher" operating the racer's main weapon, and since Burgertron ''obviously'' will be the driver, he holds tryouts to see which of the other Lost Bots will be the second. Clogstopper and Dimlit's attempts at driving and firing are both catastrophic ''and'' pathetic. But [[Bonz-Eye]] is a pin-point precise gunner with the olive cannon, while Kikmee proves to be an ''amazing'' driver. Despite her skill, Burgertron asserts that it's his car, so he drives.

The crowds fill the stands for the Ruckus Rally, with [[Fomo]] providing commentary. Burgertron gets Bonz-Eye acquainted with their competition: [[Steer'd Wrong]] and [[Chitter Click]] driving the [[Outta Controller]] for the [[Gamer Geeks]], and [[Lolly Licks]] and [[Freezewich]] in the [[Sugar Sonic Speedster]] for the [[Sugar Shocks]]. In the stands, Kikmee is not exactly taking her having to sit this one out ''well''.

[[File:BotBots ep6a Rally - Showdown.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|left|''The Fast and the Delicious'']]
''And they're off!!'' The three teams trade positions, attacks and smack-talk over and over. Sideswipes, grease slicks, sprinkle slowdowns, electric shocks, flying sardines, even a midair one-on-one showdown between Bonz-Eye and Freezewich on the hoods of their cars (Bonz-Eye wins, of course). But the real turning point (badumtish) is when the three take to the fountain's rim, drifting along its edge. The Lost Bots are already in last place, and Burgertron fails to avoid a splash of water that sends the Racer-Roni off the track. Fomo womp-womps, and the camera drones covering the race get the reaction shots of the Lost Bots in the stands. Burgertron then realizes he won't finish this race... and calls for Kikmee to take his place.

Clogstopper catches a drone with his plunger mode, giving Kikmee the chance to climb on board and fly to the track. The Racer-Roni is back in the race but the other two have a big lead. Burgertron leaps from the vehicle into a tuck-and-sesame-roll as Kikmee drops from the drone and into the driver's seat! Flooring the pedal and taking incredibly tight turns, catching up with the other two racers, all three in a neck-and-neck push for first place, and the Lost Bots cross the finish line within a fraction of a second faster than the other two!

Fomo presents the trophy to the winners... the Hunger Hubs?! Burgertron is furious, but Fomo calmly and smugly notes that the Racer-Roni's registration was never changed and it technically still belongs to the Hunger Hubs, thus, according to the bylaws, they get the trophy. Back in the restroom garage, the other Lost Bots present Kikmee and Bonz-Eye with a home-made trophy, knowing that ''they'' were the real winners, no matter what. Burgertron even admits that Kikmee should have been the driver from the get-go... and asks if she's up for taking the Lost Bots on another little spin.

* The game Steer'd Wrong plays (on her ''own face'') resembles the classic [[Sega]] racing game ''{{w|Out Run}}'', albeit with more HUD stuff on-screen.
* Lolly Licks does a rather ''{{w|Sailor Moon}}''-esque "magical girl" pose, complete with "crescent moon" made out of a peppermint with a bite taken out of it.

===Animation and technical errors===
* Burgertron says they trapped Dave in a "ball pit". However, the previous episode showed Dave falling into a pit of foam blocks. Same principle, wrong shape.
* In the head-on shot of the racers as Bonz-Eye and Freezewich face off, the Sugar Sonic Speedster's front wheels are seemingly layered wrong and clipped/faded into the main cake-body at the top.

'''Race for your life, Cheesy Burg!'''

==Synopsis==
[[Ulf the Orange]] and [[Fottle Barts]] are discussing their disappointment with [[Lost Bots]]' most recent failure; Ulf is upset that they ruined [[Bot Prom]], while Fottle is upset about a seeming missed chance with that "kinda cute" [[Clogstopper]]. No, we're not sure how to respond to that either. The two split up, and a hissed "whistle!" leads Ulf to investigate the source: [[Burgertron]] hiding in the planter. He tries to convince Ulf that Bot Prom wasn't their fault, and that he thinks [[Spud Muffin]] is trying to sabotage him. Ulf can't believe Spud is capable of that, and has some unkind words for her former love-of-her-life before leaving. Burgertron slumps in defeat... right onto a poster for the [[Ruckus Rally (event)|Ruckus Rally]].

In the [[Lost and Found (BotBots)|Lost and Found]], Burgertron explains the no-holds-barred race to the other Lost Bots, which is held only on nights the security guard is off duty, like tonight as [[Dave (BotBots)|Dave]] has managed to give himself a horrific case of intestinal distress. [[Kikmee]] is absolutely stoked to compete, but [[Dimlit]] notes they don't have a car...

...and Burgertron takes them to one of the restrooms to reveal the hidden [[Racer-Roni]], a pizza-based race car he built back when he was still in the [[Greaser Gang|Hunger Hubs]]. The racers are two-bot affairs, with one driver and a "launcher" operating the racer's main weapon, and since Burgertron ''obviously'' will be the driver, he holds tryouts to see which of the other Lost Bots will be the second. Clogstopper and Dimlit's attempts at driving and firing are both catastrophic ''and'' pathetic. But [[Bonz-Eye]] is a pin-point precise gunner with the olive cannon, while Kikmee proves to be an ''amazing'' driver. Despite her skill, Burgertron asserts that it's his car, so he drives.

The crowds fill the stands for the Ruckus Rally, with [[Fomo]] providing commentary. Burgertron gets Bonz-Eye acquainted with their competition: [[Steer'd Wrong]] and [[Chitter Click]] driving the [[Outta Controller]] for the [[Gamer Geeks]], and [[Lolly Licks]] and [[Freezewich]] in the [[Sugar Sonic Speedster]] for the [[Sugar Shocks]]. In the stands, Kikmee is not exactly taking her having to sit this one out ''well''.

[[File:BotBots ep6a Rally - Showdown.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|left|''The Fast and the Delicious'']]
''And they're off!!'' The three teams trade positions, attacks and smack-talk over and over. Sideswipes, grease slicks, sprinkle slowdowns, electric shocks, flying sardines, even a midair one-on-one showdown between Bonz-Eye and Freezewich on the hoods of their cars (Bonz-Eye wins, of course). But the real turning point (badumtish) is when the three take to the fountain's rim, drifting along its edge. The Lost Bots are already in last place, and Burgertron fails to avoid a splash of water that sends the Racer-Roni off the track. Fomo womp-womps, and the camera drones covering the race get the reaction shots of the Lost Bots in the stands. Burgertron then realizes he won't finish this race... and calls for Kikmee to take his place.

Clogstopper catches a drone with his plunger mode, giving Kikmee the chance to climb on board and fly to the track. The Racer-Roni is back in the race but the other two have a big lead. Burgertron leaps from the vehicle into a tuck-and-sesame-roll as Kikmee drops from the drone and into the driver's seat! Flooring the pedal and taking incredibly tight turns, catching up with the other two racers, all three in a neck-and-neck push for first place, and the Lost Bots cross the finish line within a fraction of a second faster than the other two!

Fomo presents the trophy to the winners... the Hunger Hubs?! Burgertron is furious, but Fomo calmly and smugly notes that the Racer-Roni's registration was never changed and it technically still belongs to the Hunger Hubs, thus, according to the bylaws, they get the trophy. Back in the restroom garage, the other Lost Bots present Kikmee and Bonz-Eye with a home-made trophy, knowing that ''they'' were the real winners, no matter what. Burgertron even admits that Kikmee should have been the driver from the get-go... and asks if she's up for taking the Lost Bots on another little spin.

Tomorrow is the final chapter of "The Dying of the Light," and your recent editing behavior related to this comic suggests the first thing you will do upon reading it is come here and begin asking why we have not edited/changed/merged/deleted/whatever some articles. As this issue contains a ''huge'' spoiler, I cannot lock the relevant pages, because doing so will only flag up that they are the subject of the spoiler. To that end, I have given you a simple, one-day block to protect our users from seeing spoilers on the Recent Changes page caused by edits you are statistically likely to make. The changes will be made in due course, and some discussion will need to take place. If you can respond to this message letting me know you've seen it, that you understand, and that you won't do this, I'll happily lift the block, which will expire tomorrow evening anyway. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 15:46, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

Can I re-upload it after it fits the standards of this wiki? --[[User:GobotsFanForever|GobotsFanForever]] ([[User talk:GobotsFanForever|talk]]) 20:08, 9 April 2021 (EDT)
:Sure, but you might be better off finding a different image of Whirl. In the one you uploaded, she's just sort of standing there, while all the other images are more dynamic and show her actually doing things. Try to find something more distinct that better conveys what the character is doing in the episode. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:39, 9 April 2021 (EDT)

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

::So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

== Just a suggestion ==

Since G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron have an extremely long list of appearances and will likely have even more in the future, can I split their Game appearances into separate pages? --[[User:GobotsFanForever|GobotsFanForever]] ([[User talk:GobotsFanForever|talk]]) 13:36, 16 August 2021 (EDT)
:This has actually already been proposed over at [[Talk:Optimus Prime (G1)#Another split?]] -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:43, 16 August 2021 (EDT)

== Arcana ==

Hi. I just edited the Arcana page. However, I can't make the caption link to the page. The link and the caption are separate. Could you edit it so that the caption links to the page, please?
Cybertron1986 15:09, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

I suppose I should learn how to do it on practice pages. Thank you.
Cybertron1986 15:14, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

== My mistake ==

Wait really? Oh gosh, my extreme apologies then! I wasn't aware that was a UK English spelling! I saw both Installment and Instalment on the same page and thought it was an error. [[User:BigRobot|BigRobot]] ([[User talk:BigRobot|talk]]) 23:05, 26 September 2021 (EDT)BigRobot

==Delete==
why do you keep deleting my stuff? is it irrelevant? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 13:27, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:Irrelevant and/or inaccurate. For example, you claimed Doublecrosser said something that was actually said by Bug Bite, and you repeatedly got Rack'n'Ruin's name wrong. Also, you really need to stop trying to remove every instance of profanity; the wiki has always been PG-13, and any words that have been used in official Transformers media like "bitch" and "shit" are okay for use. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:40, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:::Noted, but that sounds unprofessional. Also, watch the tone. you are unnecessarily rude. {{unsigned|Tylerwu}}

==Apology==
For your politeness, I would like to formally apologize. I know I was being a jerk and being immature. That happens to me all the time. I'm sorry I did all that to you. Just please remember that not everyone needs to be treated like underlings and so. But in my case, I totally deserved it. So I'm just apologising. Thanks, [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 16:23, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:I genuinely appreciate the apology, but actions ultimately speak louder than words, so I hope you take this to heart and practice better judgment going forward. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:35, 8 November 2021 (EST)

==Universal==
Hello, can you keep some of my edits? or at least change them? I feel like the "difference from film" section might be relevant. Also, ironhide and ratchet don't speak. Should they still be credited? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 19:58, 3 December 2021 (EST)
:It's not really meant to be explicitly based on any of the films, so it's largely unnecessary to note any differences. And as I said before, there's no reason for us to document what happens when the ride breaks because it's not standard procedure, and not everyone is going to have the same experience during a malfunction, so it's impossible to log every possible result. Also, Ratchet and Ironhide appear and speak in the queue for the ride, which the article also covers. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:21, 3 December 2021 (EST)

==Play Doh==
Hi, you deleted my stuff about the compound from the spoiler boxes from the WFC trilliogy toys because it was not marketed as playdoh, yet now, there is a new section about playdoh. Even though it IS playdoh, it was never marketed as playdoh. If you choose to keep it, why delete mine? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 21:45, 13 January 2022 (EST)
:Apart from the fact that I didn't even realize someone had added it back until a few days ago (and was convinced to let it stay in a separate discussion), the current write-up is much more detailed and actually explains why it's mentioned in the Play-Doh article. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 22:21, 13 January 2022 (EST)

== Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars ==

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)
:I disagree with outright questioning his survival, but I do think it's worth bringing up on his page that he stopped appearing, without us outright saying he's alive or dead. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 12:34, 17 February 2022 (EST)
::I added a note to Whirl's character page to that effect. It was also deleted. Like probably 90% of the edits I make. C'est la vie. And I don't really mean to so much question his survival but to say that there's never any real statement as to what happened to him.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:46, 17 February 2022 (EST)

== Re:Account rename ==

Thanks for the heads up! But there were other reasons why I wanted to ditch my old account, such as it being tied to an email I don't have access to anymore and me only vaguely remembering the password. It's not like I did much on it anyway, I think my most notable contribution was correcting a typo or two. If the staff wants me to use my old account for safe-keeping purposes or something, then I'd be fine with that though. --[[User:AmeliaLH|AmeliaLH]] ([[User talk:AmeliaLH|talk]]) 00:01, 25 February 2022 (EST)
:No worries. This was more just to ask if you would rather use a renamed old account or a fresh account since the rules only permit you to have one. I'll close your old account then. Thanks, and happy editing! -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:36, 25 February 2022 (EST)

== "nipping this in the bud" ==

I take it you're just going to block me so you don't have to provide an argument, yeah? [[User:Elita1|Elita1]] ([[User talk:Elita1|talk]]) 23:14, 26 February 2022 (EST)
:I don't have to. As our [[Transformers_Wiki:Policies#Attitude_towards_authority|policy]] states, "he who owns the house, makes the rules". And as all of the admins are of the agreement that white nationalism is bad and have never been afraid to call out shitty people (see: [[Pat Lee]], [[Adam Baldwin]]), I see no reason why the paragraph should be removed. The fact that you joined just to do so indicates your intentions are less than noble. I suggest you drop it, or you will find yourself banned immediately. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:19, 26 February 2022 (EST)

== Discord ban appeal ==

Hey, not sure if you are the right person to ask, but over a year ago, I don’t quite recall when, I was (rightfully) banned from the Discord server for my immature and attention seeking behaviour, truthfully I am glad I was banned sooner than later since at that time I probably would’ve gotten myself banned for something much worst,
Now that over a year has passed, and I’ve dealt with a lot of the issues I had with my life and gotten myself in a better place, mentally socially, etc and again I’m into Transformers than ever I wanted to be able to contribute to the Wiki again, and learn how to be more professional about my edits, and I’d like to rejoin the discord server for that purpose, in order to discuss wiki contributions, unlike before when I *only* wanted it as a place to talk and receive attention when I had no one else to talk to in my life, I don’t mean to come off as sappy or anything of the sort, just me asking for a second chance and stating how I intend to be better if given it. (I was Lucas-Magic-Ninja’s on the Discord). [[User:Hexnut17|Hexnut17]] ([[User talk:Hexnut17|talk]]) 00:38, March 19 2022 (EST)
:I've spoken to the admin who issued your ban and they're willing to give you another shot. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:36, 19 March 2022 (EDT)
