Quickstrike: /* Poll entries */

This is the page for the '''TFWiki.net Transformers Hall of Fame Auditions''' entries. The rules are as follows:

#You must pick your top five ''Transformers'' characters, from any era. They must actually '''be''' Transformers; sorry, but no humans, non-Transformer aliens, non-Transformer robots, or anything else of the sort are being considered for the Hall of Fame. Any votes for such entities will '''not''' be tabulated. It is the sole discretion of the contest organizers to decide what does and does not count.
#Take your top five list and '''put it in alphabetical order'''. Order of preference does not matter. Feel free to denote the character's franchise of origin, although these distinctions may or may not figure into the final results.
#You '''cannot''' vote for a specific version of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, Dinobot, Ironhide, Ratchet, Soundwave, or Waspinator. They've already been inducted!
##You '''also''' can't vote for '''Grimlock, Jazz or Shockwave'''. They're being automatically inducted this year!
#'''However, you CAN vote for ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] or [[Optimus Primal]]! Hasbro considers them separate!'''
#Only one entry per user.

Please put your characters of choice and user name below in the following manner:

*Bulkhead, Emirate Xaaron, Side Swipe, Terrorsaur (BW), X-Brawn --(four tildes)

Poll entry period ends at 3pm on '''[[March 1]], 2012'''. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 12:25, 23 February 2012 (EST)

:''Astroscope is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada (franchise)|Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Armada Astroscope cardart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|At no point in the fiction has he been shown to emote by having all three eyes bug out comically. This is a crime.]]
'''Astroscope''' is a certified Mini-Con genius. He possess great intelligence and scientific knowledge of unparalleled scope. He's more at home in the mental realm of pure theory and equation than [[Powerlinx|Powerlinxed]] to anyone. If he had his way, and there were no war, scientific study would be his life. Astroscope has made his peace with his fate however and the adventurous side of his personality loves the opportunities the war gives him to take his theories beyond the theoretical and help his friends.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Space Mini-Con Team''' (Basic, 2003)
*''Japanese ID number'': '''MM-13'''
*''Accessories'': Missile

: Astroscope transforms into a space station with spring-loaded missile launcher. Nifty! He also forms the barrel of the combined [[Requiem Blaster]] weapon. He was only available in the Space Team set with [[Sky Blast]] and [[Payload (Armada)|Payload]].

: The Space Team was put in "clamshell" packaging with other Mini-Con teams as "bonus buy" packs in several different store chains, including the [[Adventure Mini-Con Team]], [[Night Attack Mini-Con Team]], and [[Road Assault Mini-Con Team]].

: This mold was used to make [[Scrap Iron]]. It was slated for a few other [[Redeco|redecoes]] that were ultimately not released (see below).

*'''Space Micron X-Dimension''' (Basic, 2003)
*''Japanese ID number'': '''MM-14'''
*''Accessories'': Missile

: For their Japanese [[X-Dimension]] release, the entire Space Team was redecoed in shades of green and brown... an oddly terrestrial color scheme for a space-based group.

*'''Mir''' (Candy toy, 2003)
*''Change Micron ID number'': ?
*''Accessories'': Missile

: Astroscope was sold as an individual in the second series of [[Kabaya]] "[[Change Micron]]" [[Candy toy|candy toys]] in Japan. This mold is based on the original, but is in fact an entirely new mold with numerous minor sculpting differences. It's likely this toy is also not [[Gang-molding|gang-molded]] with his teammates like the original. The most notable differences between the [[Hasbro]]/[[Takara]] Astroscope and the Kabaya version is the latter has darker-blue plastic for the head, plus lacks the "solar panel" [[Paint application|paint applications]] on the interior of his legs.

*'''Jetfire w/ Comettor''' (Ultracon, 2003)

: The Space Team was placed in a bubble attached to the top of normal ''Armada'' [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] packages as a bonus-buy in Target stores for a limited time in the US.

===Energon===
*'''Ultra Magnus''' (Ultra, 2004)

: The Space Team was redecoed and packaged in with ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus was originally going to be packed with a new-characters redeco of the [[Street Speed Mini-Con Team]] ([[Brakedown (Energon)|Brakedown]], [[Clocker (Energon)|Clocker]] and [[Override (Energon)|Override]], no Team name given), but were changed towards the last minute. Exactly why the change to the Space Team was made has yet to be determined.

: The toy was a last-minute "eleventh hour" redeco, along with [[Rapid Run (Energon)|Rapid Run]] and [[Treadbolt]]. As such, their packaging photography had to be completed before properly-painted samples could be obtained, so the box-back photos use the original decos; Magnus' box also shows the original Street Speed Team rather than the Space Team.

: Magnus, Rapid Run and Treadbolt were produced in smaller numbers than the rest of the normal retail ''Energon'' line (reportedly only about 10,000 units each), were was only available in the initial shipments of the line. However, Magnus' shipment saw a very limited release, quickly replaced with the second assortment in the US, making him hard to come by. Magnus later showed up in much larger numbers in Australia, Canada and some European markets, and was made available in Japan through [[e-Hobby]] with the box altered via a black and white sticker, reflecting the Space Team's addition. The back of the European release's box was further corrected, as the Mini-Cons shown were changed along when more languages were added.

*'''Road Assault Mini-Con Team & Space Mini-Con Team''' (Multi-pack, 2004)

: The Space Team was part of a Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] ''Energon''-series six-pack, in their original ''Armada'' deco. They came with the "Road Assault" version of the Race Team.

===Unreleased===
[[Image:Spacewarp-r.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Don't eat the brown acid!]]
* Test-shots of a slightly-altered Adventure Team have popped up from various sources. It's possible this was intended to be a mid-series deco-change for the team, though it looks unfinished at best. The team has the ''exact'' same [[paint application]] layouts in the exact same ''colors'' as the original. Astroscope's main body changed to off-white, while his lighter-blue legs and head turned black.

* The Space Team was also slated to be redecoed as pack-in partners for ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Astrotrain (Timelines)|Spacewarp]]. When the toy was saved from limbo by [[Fun Publications]], they intended to keep the Mini-Con partners, but were told by [[Takara]] that the ''Armada''-era Team molds were too worn-out to use again. As such, the team was replaced by a redeco of the [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]] when "Astrotrain" finally saw release.

{{Canceledtoy}}
==Trivia==
* Astroscope's persona seems to be based on Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, to go with Sky Blast being the Human Torch and Payload being the Thing. Strangely, they are not known to have fought a robotic Joseph Stalin.

Grimlock (G1)

Quickstrike: /* Beast Wars */ Fixin' links

{{disambig3|Grimlock}}

:''Me Grimlock am [[Autobot]] [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] in [[Generation 1]] and [[Maximal]] in [[Beast Wars]] portion of the Generation 1 [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Grimlockg1.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Me Grimlock draw self-portrait.]]

Some Autobots wonder why '''Grimlock''' is even on their side. His disposition is much more suited to the [[Decepticons]]. After all, he values power and strength over wisdom and compassion, and furthermore, he doesn't really get along with most Autobots. When faced with a problem, his usual responses are to slice it with his [[energo-sword]], tear it to pieces with his bare hands, or outright eat it. He is more willing to accept casualties than most of the Autobot leadership, and doesn't seem particularly concerned about the [[Human|fleshie]]s either. These things, coupled with his dislike of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], have led to a defection or two on Grimlock's part. He'd have no problem offing the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]] if he thought he could get away with it, though. However, despite their disagreements, Grimlock holds a respect for Prime's strength and leadership.

Grimlock is the leader of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s, a small but powerful strike squad. Grimlock himself is extremely strong and durable, and is one of the few Transformers who can not only stand toe-to-toe with Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], but actually give them a run for their money. Despite his strength and prowess, Grimlock continually struggles with his pronouns.

He chooses to talk dumb rather than be thought of as weak. ''Marvel UK #200 "Secrets of the Transformers" booklet.''</ref>, leaving his fellow Autobots to think he has a glitch in his speech processor. The other Dinobots speak normally. )

:''Events from UK-only stories are italicized.''

While the Autobots remained dormant inside [[Mount St. Hilary]], the ''[[Ark]]'' detected Cybertronian life. Dispatching a probe, the ''Ark'' learned that [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] had come to Earth and was wandering the [[Savage Land]]. The ''Ark'' used data gathered from the Savage Land to convert five of the dormant Autobots into the Dinobots. They traveled to fight Shockwave, but all combatants became trapped in a tar pit. {{storylink|The Last Stand}} The Dinobots were later freed by [[Ratchet]] and joined the Autobots from time to time, but they were usually seen wandering on their own under Grimlock's orders.

Grimlock was a powerful and arrogant warrior who believed he knew best. He ascended to the post of overall Autobot leader on several occasions, growing in the process and eventually, despite their original conflict, becoming Optimus's hand-picked lieutenant and likely successor. Early on, [[Blaster]] was a major thorn in his side, deserting his command. Later, he tended to fight with the straight-laced, logical [[Prowl]].
[[Image:Biggrim_me_king.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Me Grimlock no bozo, me king!]]
One of the many casualties in an [[Underbase]]-powered [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream's]] rampage, Grimlock was brought back on-line by [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] using [[Pretender]] technology stolen from Megatron. {{storylink|All the Familiar Faces!}} While Grimlock, along with [[Jazz]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], handily defeated Megatron's minions, he was unable to save Ratchet when Megatron's base exploded. {{storylink|Skin Deep}}

Afterward, Grimlock, Jazz and Bumblebee briefly joined the Autobot resistance movement on Cybertron before attempting to return to Earth via [[Trans-Time Dimensional Portal|trans-time dimensional portal]]. However, [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]], seeking to crush the resistance's momentum, sent ''the latest incarnation of'' the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] to destroy the three Autobot Pretenders. Infiltrating [[Autobase]], the three Decepticons sabotaged the portal, teleporting all six Transformers (and the [[Micromaster]] [[Rescue Patrol]]) deep into the heart of Cybertron, where the Autobots discovered the resting place of their god, [[Primus]]. {{storylink|Yesterday's Heroes!}}

Grimlock at first thought it was all a Decepticon trick and was [[Atechnogenesis|skeptical]] that the Transformers even had a god. When the [[Keeper]] appeared, Grimlock demanded the ancient Transformer "prove it" by telling them the story of the Transformers' origin. The Keeper's story (complete with holographic slide-show) was suitably convincing, but unfortunately gave the Mayhem Attack Squad time to sneak up on the Autobots, and another battle ensued. The outnumbered Decepticons were no match for Grimlock and company, but [[Octopunch]]'s last-ditch shot ricocheted off the Dinobot's back, waking Primus. A few seconds too late, the Autobots in Autobase repaired the portal, sending the lost Transformers to Earth. Grimlock immediately demanded they find the Earth-based Autobots to warn them of [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Primal Scream}}

After rejoining Optimus Prime's forces, Grimlock, Jazz and Bumblebee formed a team in the search for the lost [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]]. Traveling to [[VsQs]], where Optimus Prime's funeral barge had crashed, the three began to search an abandoned science station for any clue as to the Matrix's whereabouts. While Bumblebee searched the computer logs, Grimlock went looking for the science team—only to discover they had all been killed. Before the Autobots could formulate a plan, Thunderwing attacked. Grimlock's first reaction was to attack, but not even all three of them could defeat the Decepticon leader. Instead, they were "saved" by the [[Matrix Spawn]], which became Thunderwing's new target. The three Autobots searched the wrecked station independently and recovered the Matrix. Low on [[energon]], the three attempted to return to their shuttle, but the moon's heavy gravity slowed them down, allowing Thunderwing to overtake them, defeat the three weakened Autobots and claim the Matrix for his own. {{storylink|Dark Creation}}

After Thunderwing's defeat, the Autobots sent a shuttle to VsQs to rescue Grimlock and the others, who were low on energon and on the verge of [[stasis lock]]. Grimlock was none too grateful for his rescue, instead berating himself for failing to destroy Thunderwing and guilty that he was alive while the other Dinobots were still deactivated. However, without Ratchet or the Matrix, the Autobots knew of no way to bring back their fallen. Grimlock sought Optimus's permission to travel to [[Hydrus Four]] and investigate the rumors of the substance [[Nucleon]]. When Optimus refused, Grimlock stole a shuttle and the bodies of the Dinobots and went anyway, which everyone really should have seen coming. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm!}}

Once on Hydrus Four, Grimlock sought out the medi-center on the island of Farooth, where the well of Nucleon was kept. Along the way, he encountered the substance's three guardians, zombie-like mechanoids who attempted to bar visitors from tapping the Nucleon. Two engaged him in combat, but Grimlock dispatched them easily. Unlike destroying Decepticons, he could take no pleasure in his victories, which seemed pointless. He began to question his motives: Was he really trying to save the Dinobots, or just prove himself a better leader than Prime? By the time he reached the island of Farooth, Grimlock simply wanted the grim business done with.

At the well, Grimlock encountered the final guardian. The Hydrusian didn't want to fight, but instead warned him that Nucleon always came with unexpected side effects. To quell the doubts that had plagued him since his arrival, Grimlock decided to test the Nucleon on himself, plunging a hand into the well. Feeling a surge of power and no immediate side effects, Grimlock decided it had to be safe and went to work reviving the other Dinobots, ignoring the Hydrusian's parting words, "Time will tell." {{storylink|The Price of Life!}}

With the Dinobots revived, Grimlock loaded up as much Nucleon as he could and returned to the ''Ark.'' {{storylink|...All This and Civil War 2}} The Dinobots found it empty, as Primus had teleported the Earth-bound Transformers back to Cybertron. Electing not to waste time looking for the others, Grimlock ordered [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] to set course for Cybertron while [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] and [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] pumped the Nucleon into the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s life-support pods. The Dinobots were unaware that the life-support pods also held Megatron, as Grimlock had departed before Ratchet's rescue. {{storylink|The Void!}}

Grimlock was the first Transformer to begin feeling the Nucleon's effect. Before he even left Hydrus Four, he began suffering erratic joint locks. He tried to hide the symptoms as long as he could, but after Unicron's defeat, they began to worsen, until his entire body seized up during a battle. [[Hi-Q]] came to his rescue, recognizing that the Nucleon was still transforming Grimlock's body. Hi-Q accelerated the process, as the Nucleon granted Grimlock a new, more powerful body, but at the cost of [[Action Master|his ability to transform]]. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

'''(Note: The following three sections all split off from the end of the Generation 1 comic, but in three different, irreconcilable directions.)'''

====''Another Time and Place'' text story====
====Generation 2====
After the coming of the [[Last Autobot]], much of the Autobot army scattered. Grimlock took command of a small commando team, leading strikes against [[Cybertronian|Decepticon outposts]] across the galaxy. After encountering seventeen conquered worlds, cyberformed into "little Cybertrons", Grimlock realized the problem was greater than he had originally imagined and contacted Optimus Prime. After comparing notes in an abandoned base, the Autobots were captured by [[Jhiaxus]]. While Optimus began to despair after learning Jhiaxus's origins, Grimlock refused to give up, bolstering the Autobot leader's spirits as they led an escape from [[Twilight|Jhiaxus' flagship]]. {{storylink|War Without End!}}

Despite his loyalty to Autobot ways, Grimlock still chafed under Optimus's leadership. Disobeying his orders (which somehow still surprised Optimus), Grimlock led a raiding party against Jhiaxus, seeking to destroy the ''Twilight''. Unfortunately, the Dinobot failed to anticipate Jhiaxus's increased security measures, and the mission cost [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] their lives. Their deaths forced Grimlock to question his methods and his attitude toward Optimus Prime. He admitted that he envied Prime for the loyalty he inspired in the Autobots, and that this, not the leadership of the Autobots, was what he'd truly desired. Thus, no one was more surprised than Grimlock when Optimus Prime placed the Dinobot in command while he traveled back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Devices and Desires!}}

Grimlock's command status proved invaluable when Optimus met Megatron on Earth alone, intending to form an alliance against Jhiaxus. Megatron beat Optimus half to death, and Prime only lived because Grimlock disobeyed orders and led an Autobot brigade to Earth. When Megatron finally agreed to the alliance, Grimlock showed a great dislike for having to work with him, as well as the insults Megatron threw his way.

[[Image:Biggrim.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Me Grimlock work hard!]]
Eventually, the Empire attacked Autobase on Earth, with Grimlock gunning down scores of its troops. With the Empire came the Swarm, and with both Optimus and Megatron out of contact, it fell to Grimlock to organise the Transformers in a desperate defensive action. His plans allowed the Autobots to hold out just long enough—barring a few casualties, like his comrade Slag—for Megatron to arrive with the [[Rheanimum]] that ensured their survival.

''In the convention-exclusive story "[[Alignment]]", which ties up plot threads from ''Generation 2'', Grimlock sacrifices himself in the final battle against the [[Liege Maximo]]. (Despite being written by Simon Furman, this story was not approved by Hasbro and was produced for an unofficial convention, so the canonicity of this all is debatable.)''

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Gregg Berger]] (US), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japan)

''(Note: In the animated series, Grimlock was more dimwitted than in most other continuities. As the series progressed, he was portrayed increasingly as a comic relief character.)''

[[Image:Grimlockskywarp.jpg|right|thumb|Mmm. Me Grimlock think Skywarp taste like chicken.]]

Cartoon Grimlock, like all the cartoon Dinobots, has a stereotypical "caveman"-type personality and intellect level. They originally decide to help the Autobots, for instance, because "them have face like this on chest...". Pre-movie, this lack of intelligence is usually coupled together with their great power to make them dangerous wild cards. Post-movie, however, Grimlock and the Dinobots are generally played as just plain dumb for comic relief.

When mysterious tremors shook the [[Ark|Autobot base]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'s investigation revealed strange objects behind a rock wall. After removing the wall, the Autobots found a cave full of dinosaur bones. The Autobots decided the idea of dinosaurs was interesting and researched the prehistoric beasts. Wheeljack and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] asked Optimus Prime if they could build robot dinosaurs, and Prime agreed this was a good idea. Grimlock, [[Slag (G1)|Slag]], and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] were built and unveiled to the Autobots, but the Dinobots were dimwitted and violent, and they attacked their makers. Grimlock blasted [[Teletraan I]] with his fire-breath, damaging it. Optimus Prime decreed that the Dinobots "must be destroyed." However, Wheeljack convinced him instead to lock them away, and the trio were herded back into the cave and buried alive.

Later, the Decepticons took over a hydroelectric plant, but when the Autobots arrived to stop them, the Autobots were defeated and captured. Wheeljack, Ratchet, and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], left behind at Autobot base to finish repairing Teletraan-I, decided to go against Optimus's orders and release the Dinobots, but not before upgrading their brains to be smarter and more obedient. After the Dinobots were reactivated, Wheeljack asked them to save their friends. Grimlock said he would obey...this time. They successfully attacked the Decepticons and freed the imprisoned Autobots. Optimus forgave Wheeljack, Ratchet, and Bumblebee for disobeying his orders and welcomed the victorious Dinobots back to the Autobots. {{storylink|S.O.S. Dinobots}}

After a meteor surging with unknown energies struck the Earth, Optimus ordered the three Dinobots to guard it. He was so pleased with the Dinobots he asked Ratchet and Wheeljack to build two more. Meanwhile, Megatron was frustrated at the Dinobots' success and sent [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to probe them for potential weaknesses. Reading the Dinobots' minds, he discovered that Grimlock was arrogant and believed he would make a better leader than the weak Optimus Prime. Megatron decided to use this to his advantage and approached them himself. He played to Grimlock's jealousy and agreed with him that the strongest should be leader. The Dinobots declared Optimus Prime their enemy.

[[Image:Grimlockapologize.jpg|left|thumb|After we stop shaking hands, me Grimlock am going to eat him!!!!]]

Realizing the meteorite was due to explode, Optimus left to warn the Dinobots, but they attacked him. Instead of destroying him completely, however, Grimlock carried him to the Decepticons, who had stolen the meteorite during the battle. Megatron was angry that Optimus Prime was not destroyed, and Starscream suggested that despite Grimlock's arrogance, inside he was still compassionate (or as compassionate as Grimlock could get). Grimlock didn't take this well and blasted Starscream right in the chest. They were interrupted by the two new Dinobots, [[Snarl (G1)|Snarl]] and [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]], whom Megatron ordered the original three Dinobots to attack. At the climax of the battle, the meteorite exploded, but Optimus Prime pushed Grimlock out of the way, saving him. Grimlock realized the error of his ways, and the Dinobots forced the Decepticons into retreat. Grimlock then apologized for his jealousy. {{storylink|War of the Dinobots}}

The Decepticons joined forces with [[Sub-Atlantica]] and staged a full-scale attack on [[Washington, D.C.]]. The Autobots were overwhelmed, forcing Wheeljack to call for the Dinobots' assistance. Grimlock expressed his frustration at being called whenever the Autobots were in over their heads. With their help, the Autobots were able to overturn the Decepticons' advance and plunge the now-burning city of Sub-Atlantica back into the sea. {{storylink|Atlantis, Arise!}} This pattern of the Autobots' dependence on the Dinobots repeated when the artificial intelligence [[TORQ III]], put under Decepticon control, turned all machines against Mankind. With every piece of help he and his troops gave, Grimlock was never slow to add a scathing remark about the inabilities of the Autobots. {{storylink|Day of the Machines}} That said, he was not unwilling to admit the failings of his own troops, either. He willingly took them to the time-displaced "Dinobot Island," where they trained in the wilderness {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 1}} and helped stop a Decepticon raid on the prehistoric paradise, with Grimlock inspiring the native [[dinosaur]]s to help them fight the Decepticons. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}}

[[Image:Grimlock01.JPG|right|thumb|200px|Me say YOU PREGNANT.]]

The final straw for Grimlock came when he and the Dinobots were injured in a Decepticon trap at an airfield. Enraged, Grimlock refused to take orders from Optimus Prime any more and led the Dinobots away from the ''Ark''. When the Autobots began to suffer from Cybertonium deficiency, [[Spike Witwicky]] and his girlfriend [[Carly]] attempted to persuade the Dinobots—who continued to function perfectly, as they had been built on Earth without Cybertonium—to steal some of the mineral from a Decepticon shipment coming in from Cybertron. Although Grimlock was willing to let the Autobots die and decided to crush the humans, he recognized the Cybertron connection to the Cybertonium. Instead of securing the element, Grimlock opted to lead the Dinobots to Cybertron itself, where they were captured by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}}. He altered the Dinobots' [[Circuits|memory circuits]] and put them to work in the Cybertonium mines, where they remained until Spike and Carly repaired them. Grimlock and Spike faked having an argument, compelling the guards to lower the energy fences to remove the troublesome humans—only to be obliterated by the Dinobots. Grimlock led the group back to Earth, where the Dinobots agreed to follow Prime's order again—until such time as Grimlock didn't feel like it. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}}

[[Image:Grimlock.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Me Grimlock upset name "[[T-Wrecks]]" already taken. <small>(Albeit possibly by me Grimlock.)</small>]]

In the year 2005, Grimlock and the other Dinobots were stationed on the Autobots' Moonbase 1, seemingly overseeing weapons production. When word arrived from Earth that Autobot City was suffering a massive Decepticon attack, they traveled to Earth with Optimus Prime and were dispatched by the Autobot leader to take on [[Devastator]]. Though they attacked fearlessly, the giant combiner robot was too much for them, shrugging off their attacks and overwhelming them in short order.

After fleeing [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]'s attack on [[Autobot City]], the Dinobots, along with [[Kup]] and [[Hot Rod]], crashed on [[Quintessa]], and were separated from the two Autobots. During their search, the Dinobots met [[Wheelie]]. Grimlock initially didn't like the rhyming little robot, but soon grew quite fond of him, letting him ride his back. Eventually, the Dinobots managed to locate where Kup and Hot Rod were being held by the planet's rulers, the [[Quintessons]]. The Dinobots entered the Quintessons' execution room with all the grace they could muster, and Grimlock immediately declared his desire to munch metal. After the Dinobots saved Hot Rod and Kup from the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s, a Quintesson judge ordered the Sharkticons to execute the Dinobots. Grimlock stomped his foot on the ground and ordered the Sharkticons to execute the Quintessons. They complied with the Dinobot's order. Heading for [[Junkion (planet)|the planet of Junk]], Grimlock watched the Autobots and the [[Junkion]]s celebrate their new friendship. The party was ended when a Junkion [[kiss]]ed Grimlock, causing him to reassert his status as "king". Later, Grimlock made one of his life's greatest accomplishments by literally kicking the butt of [[Unicron|a deity]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie (1986)|TFTM}}

[[Image:GrimlockManga.jpg|right|200px|thumb|If he REALLY smart he know how stupid he look.]]

By the Earth year 2005, it seemed apparent that Grimlock had undergone some degree of a personality change, becoming more childish and petulant, rather than brutish and stubborn. Throughout 2006, he regularly participated in missions with his fellow Autobots rather than the other Dinobots, battling on the planets of [[Chaar]], [[Goo]], [[Dredd]] and [[Eurythma]]. He and [[Daniel Witwicky]] were transported to the sorcerous other-dimensional realm of [[Menonia]], where Grimlock was duped into fighting on the side of the tyrannical Quintesson [[Mara-Al-Utha]] {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}}, and later, he helped to sniff out the "[[dinosaur transform static]]" that implicated [[Trypticon]] in the theft of world monuments {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}. Later in the year, when Decepticon leader [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had Cybertron infused with function-inverting anti-electrons, a dose of the particles gave Grimlock super-intelligence. During a mission to [[Unicron]]'s disembodied head, where the Autobots were outmatched by the new Decepticon [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], Grimlock used components of Unicron's head to construct the [[Technobot|Technobots]] to battle them. Even combined as Computron, the Technobots felt they could not match the Terrorcons, until Grimlock transferred his super-intelligence into Computron, reverting to his old self and allowing the Technobots to claim victory. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

Grimlock's greatest victory came when he and a large number of other Transformers with animal transformations were summoned to a world at the center of the galaxy by the ex-assistant of the ancient genius, [[Primacron]], creator of Unicron. The assistant had assembled these "[[Primitive]]" Transformers in the hope that their simple instincts could defeat Primacron's newest creation, [[Tornedron]], but one by one they fell to him, with Grimlock apparently crushed under [[Trypticon]]. Grimlock survived, however, and followed Tornedron back to Primacron's lab. When Tornedron turned on his master, like his predecessor had, Primacron's complicated plans and equations could not find a way to stop him. Grimlock, on the other hand, randomly flicked a switch which reversed Tornedron's energy polarity, undoing the damage he had done and dissipating the creature. Dancing around over his successful saving of the universe, Grimlock decimated Primacron's lab, which he decided was the smartest thing he'd ever done. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

====Season 5====
Grimlock piloted the shuttle bringing [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to an important meeting<ref>The meeting was with [[Tommy Kennedy]] and its importance was debatable, but Prime was upset at being late.</ref> and took a wrong turn, making Prime very late. Prime subsequently took him to have his brain circuits upgraded.<ref>From the "Season 5" framing sequence for the retelling of TF:TM, part 4.</ref>

====The Headmasters====

In the year 2011, the Decepticons invaded Cybertron in full force. Grimlock was deployed by [[Wreck-Gar]] to fend off the invaders. He was seen fighting alongside his fellow Dinobots as well as the [[Throttlebot]]s against the invading Decepticons. However, they didn't fare too well against the Decepticon [[Headmaster]]s, as they were all quickly put to sleep by [[Mindwipe]]'s hypnosis attack.

===Transformers PD-Type===
[[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] recruited Grimlock as backup for a duel with [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]]. Grimlock became bored watching the two of them fight in the sky, but when Star Saber finally succeeded in knocking Deathsaurus to the ground, Grimlock ate his head while Star Saber looked on, pleased at the outcome of his clever plan.<ref>From the [[Transformer_PD_Type|TF-PD type]] comic [http://www.tfarchive.com/comics/japanese/superdeformed.php?dgallery_show=deformed/SDComicTrans06.jpg Me Strongest!

After the Dinobots were defeated and deactivated on [[Earth]] by a strange alien virus, Grimlock was rebuilt using [[Binaltech]] technology to save his life. He hates his new Ford Mustang form. No teeth to munch metal, ya see.

{{quote|Me Grimlock—badass!!|Grimlock on himself|[[The War Within issue 5|''The War Within'' #5]]}}

[[Image:ScrollDinobots.jpg|left|200px|thumb|"Give me Grimlock purse!"]]

Years ago, before the war, Grimlock was part of a cage-fighting arena. He and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] fought beside and against each other on numerous occasions. Starscream believed Grimlock was a natural born killer, but Grimlock really just carried a lot of rage and needed an outlet.

When the war began, Grimlock sided with the Decepticons. Then, after a while, he switched sides and went to the Autobots. Nobody is quite sure why or what happened. He eventually became leader of a squad including [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], Kup, and Wheeljack.

By the time [[Sentinel Prime]] was killed and a new Prime had to be chosen, Grimlock called a secret meeting: If the new [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] wasn't up to doing what had to be done, then they'd do it for him—and take the Prime out in the process.

Optimus Prime, having defeated a team of Decepticons by himself, still didn't settle Grimlock's nerves. Prime's decision to evacuate Cybertron did it; Grimlock had enough. He left and went to brood by himself.

Starscream and his Seekers dropped by while Grimlock was alone. Starscream baited Grimlock, telling him he was a Decepticon inside and was just in denial. He gave him a choice: Go to Sector Zero-Six and help the Seekers take out the Autobot command post, or warn the post about their arrival.

Grimlock, out of spite, instead evacuated the Autobots from the base and planted a bomb with a message: "Me not like Optimus Prime or Autobots that much...but me like you and yours even less!"

While he was on his way back to Iacon to help with the defense, Prowl ordered him away, instead telling him to go find Optimus Prime. Grimlock decided that it was a good opportunity to give the new Prime a piece of his mind.

While he and the team went deep into Cybertron's core to find Prime, they found out about Megatron's plan to win the war and turn Cybertron into a mobile battle station with which to conquer the universe. Grimlock split up his team: He would go find Optimus Prime, and the rest of the team would shut down the transformation system for Cybertron.

To his surprise, Prime abruptly was standing next to him. Prime ordered Grimlock to help him find Megatron. Grimlock shoved his [[energo-sword]] into Prime's hands and gave clear instructions: If Megatron is the problem, then fix it.

When the crisis was over, Grimlock no longer questioned Optimus Prime. He knew that Prime had figured things out, and though he hadn't executed Megatron, he wasn't going to spend his time in the war running away. {{storylink|The War Within}}

During the Dark Ages, Optimus Prime and Megatron were seemingly destroyed in a [[space bridge]] explosion, and Grimlock broke off from the Autobots lead by Prowl and formed the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]]. Grimlock was targeted, along with [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] and [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], by the [[Fallen]], who wished to use their apparently unique [[Spark]]s to help in his revival of [[Primus]], which would allow Unicron to locate him. The Fallen sent [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Mindwipe]] and [[Bugly]], who arranged for Grimlock to receive a communication between Jetfire and Shockwave. Believing Jetfire was intending to defect, Grimlock headed for the meeting. However, when the [[Chaos Trinity]] arrived and captured Jetfire, Grimlock jumped out of the shadows and attacked. The Fallen had to watch his followers take a sound beating. After dispatching the mystics, Grimlock attempted to execute Jetfire. The Autobot scientist was saved only because the Fallen himself soon arrived. Grimlock being Grimlock, he launched himself at the Fallen, but was completely overwhelmed. He woke up later strapped to a table and had to listen to Jetfire trying to convince him to help them both escape. Grimlock broke free with ease and was part of the multi-faction army that attempted to halt the Fallen's plans. {{storylink|The War Within: The Dark Ages}}

Later, Grimlock served both as leader of the Dynobots and the right-hand bot to Ultra Magnus, who had taken control in Optimus's absence and had managed to secure a truce with Shockwave. Grimlock was less then happy about this, partly because he didn't trust the Decepticons, and partly because he had no idea what to with himself in peacetime. He never got to find out, as the truce was betrayed and Grimlock was apparently killed when he dove in front of a blast meant for Magnus. {{storylink|The War Within: The Age of Wrath}}

''Due to Dreamwave's closure, the conclusion of the ''War Within'' series and Grimlock's subsequent return were never seen. It's safe to assume, however, that it was intended that Grimlock would be restored to his former glory in the second half of the mini-series. Really, did you actually think Furman would kill off Grimlock?''

Millennia later, on Earth, Megatron captured the other four Dinobots, a fact which he used as leverage to get Grimlock to turn traitor and join the Decepticons after they were reactivated by [[Lazarus]]. It didn't last very long, though, as [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] soon showed up with his Triple Changers. Grimlock's true loyalty became obvious when he stopped Blitzwing from blowing off Optimus's head by grabbing his tank turret and bending it into a pretzel with one hand. After that, Shockwave sent Megatron off to Cybertron, prompting Grimlock to rejoin the Autobots in the ''Ark''. When Optimus's group surrendered to Ultra Magnus, some of the Autobots remained on Earth, Grimlock among them. He headed for the frozen north, and then freed the other Dinobots from Megatron's holding tank. Stealing a Decepticon shuttle, the Dinobots then headed for Cybertron, meaning to free Prime and his group. After a rough landing, they acquired some transportation from Octane and hurried to Iacon. There, Grimlock did his part by leading a massive Dinobot assault on Shockwave's complex, before breaking off to take care of the Decepticon leader himself. Blitzwing again got in his way, however, and Grimlock was forced to battle both, a battle that was going his way until Ultra Magnus shot him in the face. Perceptor repaired him, and Grimlock did his part for the rebellion by giving Hot Rod some back-up. For a third and final time, he fought Blitzwing, this time taking out the Decepticon with ease, grabbing him by the tank turret and throwing him into a [[Guardian robot|Guardian]]. Leaving the main conflict, Grimlock followed Shockwave, Optimus and Ultra Magnus and ended up saving the Autobot pair, stating he'd hate to lose the chance to pay back the "stuffy traitor". Prime thanked Primus, but Grimlock said Prime should be thanking ''him''. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

While the main group of Earth Autobots returned, the Dinobots remained on Cybertron to give Ultra Magnus some needed muscle.

===The Beast Within===
In a devastating battle with the Decepticons, Grimlock made the decision to combine with the other Dinobots to form the "[[Beast]]". {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

[[Image:Acvra.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Give starring role, Magmatron, or me Grimlock take it by force.]]

Grimlock was among the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s protoforms when the ship crashed on Earth. When [[Razorbeast]] and [[Optimus Minor]] were attempting to "rescue" [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] from [[Magmatron]], the [[Predacons]] detected a spark signature that was apparently off the scale, big and mad. Grimlock showed up and acted as the perfect distraction, making ''very'' short work of the Predacons. (Apparently, he was in a very bad mood after waking up and took it out on the Preds.) Magmatron offered Grimlock the chance to withdraw, and when the incredulous Grimlock refused, the Predacon general attacked. Magmatron narrowly arose as the victor by use of his triple beast modes. Grimlock was knocked out, but later helped to construct the [[Maximal]]s' new base. {{Storylink|The Gathering, Part 4}}

Later, when [[Prowl (Transmetal)|Prowl]] remarked they had work to do on Earth, with [[Ravage]]'s Predacon militia still a threat, [[Wolfang]] reminded him that they had Grimlock on their side. {{Storylink|The Ascending, Part 1}}. The bot in question was patrolling the jungle around the base at the time and bumped into the three-mech team of [[Manterror]], [[Retrax]] and [[Snapper]]. He only noticed Manterror and Retrax however, as Snapper was being crushed under his right foot at the time. While Retrax rolled for his life, Manterror had to face Grimlock on his own, and lost his wings for his trouble. This little group turned out to be a distraction, however, intended to lur the Maximals' big gun away while Ravage led an all-out strike on the base.

The former Dinobot wasn't about to be left out in the cold, however, and he returned to base ready for "the main course," which consisted of crushing [[Spittor]] under his foot and tearing apart [[Iguanus]] and half a dozen other Predacons. Still, even with him and [[Torca]] working overtime, things might have gone poorly without [[Lio Convoy]]'s arrival.

When Lio Convoy and Ravage led a joint force to stop Shockaract, Grimlock accompanied them. The former Autobot and former Decepticon had a moment of antagonism when the fight started. But once the battle got underway, Grimlock fell in with the Convoys. As Shockaract declared the end of the Cybertronian race, Grimlock seemed to reminisce, even as he transformed to his beast mode and led a charge. He was one of the survivors, although presumably, he would be a victim of Megatron.

===IDW comics continuity===
Grimlock and the rest of the D'''y'''nobots were a close-knit group of hunters, suffering from neither low intelligence nor Grimlock's traditional speech impairment.

At the start of Megatron's rise to power, the Dynobots turned out to an open casting call for Megatron's underground gladiatorial games. It turned out to be a recruitment drive for the Decepticon army. What they thought of that is unknown, as Autobot security forces raided the party soon after.

After [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] destroyed a cache of energon the Dynobots had been hoarding, causing them severe energon burns and equally severe humiliation, they swore revenge. So, against orders from Optimus Prime, they followed Shockwave when he left Cybertron to stabilize "ultra-energon" deposits he had sent to other worlds as a precaution against the depletion of Cybertron's own energon reserves.

When Shockwave reached his first destination—Earth, at the end of the last Ice Age—the Dynobots destroyed his ship, but Slag revealed that the high energon levels of the planet would put them in stasis lock, since they hadn't come prepared like Shockwave. Slag then came up with the idea that they should scan the local life forms and create alt-modes based on those animals, but with synthetic flesh coatings to protect against the high levels of energon radiation. Grimlock was completely against the idea, but since Slag couldn't come up with something better, he relented. However, he refused to take on the form of the weak mammalians that dominated the planet, demanding "something with some...bite." Scanning fossil deposits, Slag found the remains of some extinct reptilian animals and brought up a holographic representation of one to see if Grimlock approved. What popped up was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which Grimlock seemed to fall in love with the moment he saw it. The choice made, Grimlock took the Tyrannosaur as his altmode and had Slag find more dinosaurs as templates for the rest of the Dynobots.

On transporting down to the planet's surface to confront Shockwave, they gained an initial advantage, as Shockwave's logic was unable to comprehend the effort and risks they had taken for their revenge. However, when Shockwave recognized this weakness, shut down his logic processors and executed a "rage" program to enable him to operate on pure instinct, he shrugged off their attacks and beat them severely, ending the assault by burning off their organic coatings. Unable to accept another defeat, Grimlock transformed to robot mode and fought against his imminent [[stasis lock]] to no avail.

However, before leaving the Dynobots' ship, he had enabled a "dead man's switch" designed to take Shockwave with them if they were defeated. When he entered stasis lock, this failsafe activated, firing on a nearby dormant volcano and causing an eruption which buried Shockwave and the Dynobots under ash and lava.

However, in 2006, Shockwave was discovered by a team of human archeologists. Whether he, Grimlock or the rest of the Dynobots can/will be reactivated remains to be seen, but it seems likely as their bodies were taken into custody by [[Skywatch]].

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Grimlock''' (Dinobot, 1985/1986/1991/1992)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-26'''

[[Image:Grimlockg185toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|And the debate goes on... "Me Grimlock am greatest warrior!" ::: "No! Me Grimlock am greatest warrior!"]]

: Grimlock's toy was originally part of [[Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' [[Dinosaur Robo]] series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy in 1985 for the ''Transformers'' line, its blue pelvis was changed to red and the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped.

:The original Grimlock changes from a robot into a robotic T-Rex and comes with a red [[energo-sword]], a black double-barreled rifle, and a rocket launcher with three silver rockets.

: Grimlock was later reissued in the European/Australian-exclusive "[[Classics (Euro)|Classics]]" series. In Japan, he and the other four Dinobots were offered as mail-away items during [[Operation Combination]]; Grimlock cost 2300 yen (his original retail price) and 2 [[robot points]].

* '''Grimlock''' ([[Classic Pretender]], 1989)
[[Image:Pretender_Grimlock_toy.jpg|right|thumb|130px|Me Grimlock look like Ed Asner?]]

: A simplified and slightly modified version of Grimlock, he transforms into a robotic T-Rex whose tail becomes a handgun. He came with a large human [[Pretender]] shell with a rather knight-like armor theme, with a helmet and large cannon.

: His human shell looks a lot like [[Wikipedia:Ed Asner|Ed Asner]].
:''('''Note''': Pretender Classic Grimlock's function was Lieutenant Commander instead of Dinobot Commander.)''

* '''Grimlock''' ([[Legends (G1)|Legends]], 1989)
[[Image:GrimlockLegends_toy.jpg|left|thumb|130px|Me Grimlock say cut it out.]]

: A K-Mart [[exclusive]] in its Hasbro release, this version of Grimlock is simply the inner robot of his Classic Pretender form without the shell or its accessories, leaving him only his tail/gun. In Japan, he was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the other three Legends toys, but with a silver face rather than the Hasbro version's orange.

* '''Grimlock''' (Action Master, 1990)

[[Image:G1Grimlock_ActionMaster.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Me Grimlock tragically no longer able to transform.]]

: Part of the initial assortment of non-transforming [[Action Master]] figures, Grimlock's design combines his cartoon model with extra toy-based detailing. He came with the [[Anti-tank cannon]] "partner" machine which could be ridden by Grimlock or unfolded to form a really ''big'' "long-range mortar launcher".

{{-}}

===Generation 2===
* '''Grimlock''' (Dinobot, 1992)

: Grimlock's original toy was [[redeco]]ed for release in ''Generation 2'', this time lacking the missile launcher accessory. He was available in three different colors; the first --and rarest-- in his original silver (the easiest way to spot if this is a G2 or original is by the "Autobot" tampograph on his leg), then in a medium turquoise-blue, and finally (and most commonly) in a dark blue.

:''('''Note''': Grimlock outranked Optimus Prime in the G2 toyline! (Prime had a rank of 9.)''

===Beast Wars===
* '''Grimlock''' (Deluxe, 1997)

[[Image:BeastWarsgrimlock_toy.jpg|left|thumb|150px|[[Ben Yee]] think me Grimlock look like dalmatian... :(]]

: Beast Wars Grimlock is a [[redeco]] of [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] in gray and gold with black spots, transforming into a "raptor" of some variety. His tail becomes a sword and a rotate-blade. He was slightly [[retool]]ed to have space for an "energon chip" [[rubsign]]. Unfortunately, Grimlock suffers from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]].

: This mold is also used by [[Dinobots (toyline)|Dinobots]] [[Grimlock (Dinobots)|Grimlock]], and was retooled to make [[Dinotron (BM)|Dinotron]], [[Hardhead (BWN)|Hardhead]] and [[Thrust (BWII)|Thrustor]].

===Beast Machines===
:[[T-Wrecks]] may have been intended to be a new form for Grimlock, based on the references in his tech spec bio to his ''Beast Wars'' "Attack Specialist" function and other hints. However, T-Wrecks' appearances in the ''Universe: The Wreckers'' comics suggests he is a new, unrelated character.

===Alternators===
* '''Grimlock''' (2005)
:''Alternator ID number:'' '''9'''
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-10'''
[[Image:AlternatorsGrimlock_toy.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Me Grimlock no longer munch metal, so me Grimlock burn rubber.]]

: ''[[Alternators]]'' Grimlock transforms into a silver 1:24 scale Ford Mustang with opening doors, hood, and trunk. His engine transforms into a double-barreled gun, and he also carries an orange sword which can attach to the underside of his vehicle mode. The toy is one of the most-complained-about Alternators toys, due to its notoriously finicky transformation (with many small steps that must be performed in exactly the right order) and to several pieces which have a tendency to pop off with relatively small amounts of force.

:This mold was remolded into ''Alternators'' [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]].

{{-}}

===Universe===
:The [[Grimlock (Energon)|Grimlock]] toy released in ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' was originally created by Hasbro for release as a special new-mold addition for the ''Universe'' toyline and was intended to represent ''Generation 1'' Grimlock. However, it wasn't and it didn't for the combination of budgetary concerns and keeping the combination gimmick (since he combines with the packed-in [[Swoop (Energon)|Swoop]] to form "Mega-Dinobot") only in the ''Energon'' toyline, which had combination as a central theme.

===Classics===
*'''Grimlock''' (Deluxe, 2006)
[[Image:Grimlockclassicstoy.jpg|left|thumb|100px|Me Grimlock just come from ''Jurassic Park 4'' audition. Me ate all other actors.]]

: ''Classics'' Grimlock, a gray and gold ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', is a reimagined form of his original toy. His dinosaur mode's sculpt is based heavily upon [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''Zoids'' Genosaurer toy, although for Grimlock the ''Zoids'' Tyrannosaurus toy [[Wikipedia:Berserk Führer|Berserk Führer]] might have been more apropos. It features articulated jaws, some neck and arm movement, posable legs, a segmented, articulated tail, and is notably designed to run rather than drag (theories on the T-Rex having changed from "caveman adversary" to "Carl Lewis in lizard skin" since the G1 incarnation).

:There are several similarities between Grimlock's Classic toy and his Pretender Classic toy:
:* The T-Rex's arms are on the sides of the robot-mode legs.
:* In robot mode, his tail detaches to become a sword/whip, similar to his Pretender Classic toy.
:* His bayonet blaster bears a [[Media:Grimlock_gun_prt_clsc.JPG|similarity]] to his Pretender toy's.
:His bayonet blaster can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear red projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. As with most ''Classics'' toys, Grimlock features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]], placed on the left side of the tyrannosaurus torso/his left leg.

:A common complaint about the figure is the size of the peg being too small in relation to the peg-hole, making it impossible to lock the arms into place. In addition, the bayonet blaster has a hair-trigger.

:An unpainted ''Classics'' Grimlock was used at the [[BotCon 2007]] customization classes to create ''[[Timelines]]'' [[Overkill]].

:Classic Grimlock later comes with Classic Jetfire in a twin-pack set in 2007.

A mini-bust of Grimlock based on his appearance in the cartoon was released by Diamond Select in 2007. The figure includes the upper body of Grimlock, weilding his energo-sword, acting as if rushing into the battlefield. There is the head of his beast mode sculpted into the base of the statue.

==Merchandise==
===3D Battle-Card Game===
*'''Grimlock''' (2007)

: A 48-point "rare" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]'s "Energon Wars" expansion, Grimlock "transforms" into a gray vague approximation of a ''t. Rex''. He uses the same parts layout as [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] and [[Cruellock]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:Grimlock_Natural_History_Museum.JPG|thumb|right|150px|Me Grimlock BIG person, so they put me statue in Natural History Museum.]]
* In the original Diaclone commercial for Grimlock, it showed him spewing fire from his mouth. Guess why ''that'' was removed, huh?
* There is a Grimlock toy placed in the showcase in the dinosaur section of the [[Wikipedia:Natural History Museum|Natural History Museum]] in London, United Kingdom.
* Grimlock is generally regarded as [[Simon Furman]]'s signature character.
* According to [[Gone But Not Forgotten|Marvel UK #107]]'s letters page, Grimlock considers the 23rd of August 1986 his birthday. It's the date he took over the Transformers letters page. He also thinks he could take out Soundwave in a fight.
* Grimlock's function is Lieutenant Commander instead of Dinobot Commander on his Pretender Classic and Alternator toys. Lieutenant Commander is [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]]'s rank. Deal with it, egobot.
* A working name for the [[Alternators]] Ford Mustang mold which ultimately ended up as Grimlock was "[[Freeway]]", according to various early store listings.
* Grimlock's beast mode in ''The Gathering'' does not actually match any dromaeosaur on record, seeming to combine elements of both the dromaeosaur body type with that of a carnosaur or tyrannosaurid.
* In ''The Ascending'' Issue 3, Grimlock is shown fighting in his robot mode. His tail weapon appears to take the form of a blaster. In Issue 4, he is the only Transformer, Maximal or Predacon, the same height as the two Convoys.
* Simon Furman announced on the IDW forums that Grimlock will be receiving a [[Spotlight: Grimlock|Spotlight]] in 2008.

Sky Shadow (disambiguation)

2007-12-24T08:33:45Z

Quickstrike:

The name '''Sky Shadow''' has been applied to several Transformers characters.

*[[Sky Shadow (BW)|Sky Shadow]] the [[Predacon]] [[Fuzor]] lizard-dragonfly from [[Beast Wars]].

*[[Sky Shadow (Energon)|Sky Shadow]] the [[Autobot]] [[Air Team]] A-10 plane and [[Superion Maximus]] combiner from [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]].

*[[Sky Shadow (Cybertron)|Sky Shadow]] the [[Decepticon]] persona adopted by the undercover [[Jetfire (Armada)#Cybertron 2|Jetfire]] in the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].

Sky Shadow should not be confused with...

Searchlight (G1)

2007-09-16T06:47:26Z

Quickstrike: /* Generation 1 */ Fixed the Classics link

:''Searchlight is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Searchlight_g1_boxart.jpg|300px|right|thumb|The sun! It burns our eyess!]]

'''Searchlight''' is quiet and withdrawn. A silent spy, he is most at home in the blackest night, not because of what the darkness covers, but for what it reveals. When he cruises through darkened cities or over deserted plains, he has no need to switch on his two 10,000 watt driving lamps: his front-mounted sensor array brings him a subtle panorama that the daylight only overwhelms in its fiery radiance. Searchlight sees all, be it in the dimmest spark of visible light, or in the infrared spectrum, or elsewhere in the realm of electromagnetic radiation. His X-ray capacity lets him look through objects, and his spectroscope allows him to analyze their composition. All of this he can record in stereoscopic, digital video. This amazing array even gives him some offensive capacity; he can blind foes with a dazzling, stroboscopic flash from his driving lamps, but this is painful and disorienting to his well-tuned optics.

So fascinating are the secrets which the nighttime world reveals to Searchlight that he often loses track of his assigned mission. A further drawback of working alone comes from his very best quality; his keen senses. A slight sound or movement, if made by something undetectable by his trained sensors, can make him anxious, and eventually send him into a panic. Therefore, though he is serious-minded and works best alone, his superiors must sometimes check on him.

:''Japanese name:'' '''Looklight'''<br>
:''French-Canadian name:'' '''Projecteur'''<br>
:''Italian name:'' '''Strobot'''

==Fiction==

Searchlight was one of the first Transformers to be infected by the [[Hate Plague]] in the botched rescue attempt of Optimus Prime's body in [[The Return of Optimus Prime]]. Searchlight was eventually cured and would later make an appearance in Rebirth with the rest of his fellow Throttlebots.

: In 1991, the Throttlebots were re-released in European markets as part of the "[[Classics (Euro)|Classics]]" sub-line. Searchlight was [[retool]]ed to remove the [[rubsign]] indent on his roof/chest, and the rubsign decal itself replaced with a glossy-paper Autobot sigil.

Nemesis (G1)

2007-09-04T06:48:59Z

Quickstrike: Changed the bit about Sharkticon to trivia

{{disambig3|Nemesis}}

:''The ''Nemesis'' is a space ship in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:NemesisDreamwave1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The ''Ark'' vs. the ''Nemesis'']]

The '''''Nemesis''''' is a legendary [[Decepticon]] warship.

''(Note: The '''''Nemesis''''' is never named in the original animated series nor in the Marvel comics, and was not named until ''[[Beast Wars]]''.)''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
''(Note: Events from the UK Marvel Comics are identified with italics.)''

[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and his crew of Decepticons used the ''Nemesis'' to chase [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and his crew of Autobots out into deep space. Eventually, the Decepticons boarded the [[Ark]], the Autobots' ship, and left the ''Nemesis'' orbiting Earth. The Ark then crashed into Earth with all the Transformers onboard, deactivating them and leaving the ''Nemesis'' in orbit with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] to watch it.

''The ''Nemesis'' remained undisturbed, hidden from Earthling view with superior cloaking technology. In 2006, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] traveled back in time to the year 1986 in order to build a large laser cannon to destroy [[Unicron]]. Upon completing the cannon, Galvatron tested its effectiveness on the orbiting ''Nemesis'', destroying the ship with a single blast.''

During the Decepticon Civil War, Shockwave's base was the ''Nemesis'', which he had parked at the bottom of the ocean 4 million years ago when he fought the Dinobots. ''(The ship's identity and part of its backstory was revealed in the letters page, which directly conflicts the earlier UK story. Simon Furman wrote both stories.)''

===Generation 1 animated continuity===
[[Image:NemesisMicrobots1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Eh, it's not so big]]
The ''Nemesis'' was the ship used by the Decepticons to pursue the [[Autobot]]s. All the Decepticons left the ship to board the [[Ark]] and both ships ended-up crashing on prehistoric [[Earth]].

In 1985, archaeologists eventually discovered the ruins of the ''Nemesis'' in South America. Once [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] relayed the news to [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], the Decepticons deployed immediately. Upon arriving, Megatron removed the ''Nemesis''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s power-source, the [[Heart of Cybertron]] and had [[Hook]] then install it in him. Imbued with near-limitless power, Megatron then attempted to destroy the Autobots, and almost succeeded, until the Heart of Cybertron was removed from his body and destroyed by [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Brawn]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]].

===''Beast Wars''===
The ''Nemesis'' was the flagship of the [[Decepticon fleet]], and the most powerful warship ever built. According to myth, it was responsible for shooting down the [[Ark]]. It was revealed that [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] had discovered the wreckage of the ''Nemesis'' deep under water, and had been refurbishing it for unknown purposes. Following Tarantulas' death, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] discovered the rebuilt ship and commandeered it as a last ditch attempt to rewrite history and destroy the Ark. {{storylink|Nemesis, Part 1}}

Using the ''Nemesis''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s awesome power, Megatron managed to kill [[Tigerhawk (BW)|Tigerhawk]] as well as [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]] by accident. In the final battle, the ''Nemesis''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s controls were severely damaged by [[Rhinox]] and [[Optimus Primal]]. Out of control, the ship crashed a second time at an unseen location far over the horizon line.{{storylink|Nemesis, Part 2}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

After returning to Earth following Shockwave's defeat on Cybertron, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] used the ''Nemesis'' as his base of operations. It is unknown if the warship had previously been used for this purpose by the Decepticons or if Starscream rediscovered it after returning to Earth.

The technical specifications for the ''Nemesis'' were:
*Estimated length: 2.5 miles
*Wingspan: 1.75 miles
*Height: 1.25 miles

==Trivia==

*[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]]'s vehicle mode was originally designed to resemble the ''Nemesis'', and his early working name was "Decepticon Nemesis".

Star Saber (G1)

:''Star Saber is the [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Autobot]]s during the [[Victory (franchise)|Victory]] era of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:StarSaber1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs!]]

Leader of the [[Autobots]], '''Star Saber''' belongs to the subgroup known as the [[Brainmaster|Brainmasters]]. He is also an excellent swordsman, pity he doesn't have much of a personality. He is very protective of his adopted [[human]] son, [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]], though not protective enough to forbid him from running around the battlefield without any armor or defensive weaponry.

Star Saber has the ability to merge in either jet or robot mode with [[Victory Leo]] to form [[Victory Saber]].

==Fiction==
===Victory cartoon===
'''Voice actor:''' [[Hideyuki Tanaka]] (Japan)

Star Saber never snuck food or wet the bed and got scolded for it, but he ''was'' a kid just like you and me.

====Victory manga====
[[Image:Bathmasters.jpg|right|200px|thumb|"Warrior of Love: Star Saber!" Yes, that's the ''actual title'' of the issue.]]

Star Saber was [[Deathsaurus]]'s fierce enemy until he discovered the Decepticon emperor to be a devoted family man, upon which they made peace. Aaaaaw.

His [[Jan Minakaze|kid]] went to school with Deathsaurus' [[Solon|kid]]. The majority of the conflict within the manga can be summarized as "My Dad can beat up your Dad!"

===Zone OVA===
Victory Saber was severely wounded by the Nine Great Demon Generals on Feminia. He placed Dai Atlas in command until he recovered... which turned out to be never.

:Star Saber was also available into a two-pack with the ''Robot Masters'' version of Victory Leo, with whom he could still combine to form Victory Saber, both jet and robot modes. The two figures in this pack featured a more metallic paint job than their standard releases.

*'''Victory Saber''' (eHobby exclusive, 2005)

:An "evil recolor" of the Victory Saber two-pack completed with Decepticon symbols, this black, purple, teal and bronze redeco represents the two heroes in "optical camouflage" paintjobs for use on an undercover mission to investigate Decepticon dealings in the Middle East black market.

Overload (G1)

Quickstrike: Disambiguation...

{{disambig3|Overload}}

:''Overload is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Overload''' gazed too long into the Abyss. His desire to be the best battlefield tactician led to an obsessive interest in understanding how [[Decepticons]] think. His superiors thought this was unhealthy. (Given [[Starscream (G1)|how most Decepticons think]], they probably it was unhealthy for ''themselves.'') Overload was reassigned to the transport division.

==Fiction==

* '''Overload Micromaster Transport''' (1989)
Overload transforms into a blue semi cab. He was sold with a car-carrier trailer, that transforms into a fighter jet.

Quickstrike: /* Energon */ Movie Redecos

{{disambig3|Arcee}}

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Energon (franchise)|Energon]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ArceeEn-jcard.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Yes, she is a girl.]]

A headstrong and feisty [[Omnicon]], '''Arcee''' is eager to prove she’s as capable a warrior as any other Autobot. She can manipulate and refine raw [[energon]] easily; her mastery of the Energon Bow is almost legendary.

:''Japanese name:'' '''Ariel'''

==Fiction==
===Energon Cartoon===
:'''Voice Actress:''' [[Sharon Alexander]] (US), [[Masumi Asano]] (Japan)

[[Image:Energon_Arcee_starfire.jpg|left|thumb|150px|[[Breastforce]] Arcee.]]

When [[Unicron]], due to [[energon]] deprevation, began attacking at all intruders within his body, Arcee was sent from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to reinforce the Autobots. She served to rally the Omnicon forces and provide [[Kicker Jones]] with rapid, agile transportation through the dangerous interiors of Unicron. After she and Kicker managed to breach his defenses, the Omnicons provided Unicron's core with [[Energon star|Energon stars]], calming down the dormant Chaos Bringer's violent tendancies.

{{-}}

===Dreamwave Energon Comics===
Arcee and her fellow Omnicons are upgraded [[Mini-Con]]s, sent by [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]] to assist [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] in repelling the Horsemen of [[Unicron]]. They then went to [[Earth]] to stop [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and his [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]] in Australia.

Proving to be a bit too out of control to base near human cities, they were sent to the site of a new energon well in the Yukon. They were captured by [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat]] while blowing off some steam, who attempted to rewrite their programming to turn them into [[Decepticon]]s. Subconciously guided by the snarky floating advice-giving head of Over-Run, they managed to break free by combining their powers. More teamwork led to Snow Cat's defeat, and a better understanding of their abilities.

On a mission with [[Kicker]] to the Black Sea in Turkey to locate a new energon well underwater, they were attacked by [[Tidal Wave|Mirage]] (who had previously butted heads with them as Tidal Wave), [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]] and [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon]], who were attempting to capture the energon-empathic human. Though the Omnicons were beaten down, Kicker’s powers revitalized the team and allowed them to force the Decepticons to retreat.

:''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-16'''

[[Image:Energon_Arcee_toy.jpg|right|thumb|Don't ask me, I'm just a girl! *giggles*]]

: Arcee transforms into a 'superbike'-type racing motorcycle. Usually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do, her Energon Bow instead mounts on a peg in her arms, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey missile 'arrow'. As an Omnicon, her clear-red Energon Bow can be used by other toys. She also has an [[Energon star]] that can be attached to the [[spark crystal]] on most ''Energon''-series toys

: This mold was used to make [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar]], [[Flareup]] and the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie Universe]] version of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]].

*'''Ariel Paradron Type''' (Basic, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''EX-02'''

: A [[Takara]] "Toys Dream Project" [[exclusive]], the Paradron-type version replaces all the black and red paint with varying shades of green, as well as recasting her energon parts in clear-green. This color scheme was inspired by the [[Paradron Medic]] from [[Generation 1]].

===Universe===
*'''Arcee''' (Basic, 2005)

: Arcee (along with many other ''Energon'' Basic toys) was repackaged without alteration onto ''[[Universe]]''-series cards, and sold at US heavy-discount chains like Family Dollar and Big Lots!.

===Attacktix===
[[Image:AttacktixArcee.jpg|left|thumb|125px|Did she have to remove one of her... um...]]

*'''Arcee''' (Booster, 2007)
: ''Attacktix ID number'': '''TF01'''

: Part of the second series of ''Transformers'' ''[[Attacktix]]'', Arcee was only available in Booster Packs, blind-packed boxes each containing one "rare" and one "Super Rare" piece. A "Rare" 20-point "Leader"-class piece, Arcee fires a standard ''Attacktix'' missile. Her Special Power "Rescue" does something that we don't know what yet.

{{-}}

Scrapmetal (race)

2007-04-24T06:39:32Z

Quickstrike: /* Cybertron Cartoon */ Added and removed some links

: ''The Scrapmetal drones are a type of [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ScrapmetalDrone-card.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The ants come marching one by one hurrah, hurrah...]]

No-one is completely sure where the '''Scrapmetal drones''' came from or how they got to be in their current state. Most posit they're a breed of mechanical vermin from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] lower levels that have been mutated by the effects of the [[Unicron Singularity]]. Others think they're the results of ancient cloning experiments by insect-like warriors from a bygone era. Whatever their origin, their current state is painfully clear; there are thousands of Scrapmetal crawling in and on Cybertron, devouring any robot unfortunate enough to cross their path.

Individual Scrapmetal have only a base animal-level intelligence, and by Cybertron standards are small and weak, easily crushed. However, Scrapmetal are almost never witnessed as individuals; only in large swarms who can overwhelm robots far larger than they through sheer strength of numbers, no matter how many of their own dead they skitter over. They appear to follw the orders of a single (barely) sentient [[Scrapmetal]], physically identical to his kin, but just bright enough to make the swarm ''really'' dangerous by giving them direction.

:''Japanese name: '''Rumble''' ''<br>
:''Pre-release name: '''Rumblor''' ''

==Fiction==
===Cybertron Cartoon===
The Scrapmetals originally appeared when the Autobots and Decepticons returned to Cybertron after recovering three of the [[Cyber Planet Key|Cyber Planet Keys]]. They attacked both groups and "killed" [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]], who was later revived as Dark Crumplezone by [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]].

A yellow Scrapmetal was later reformatted into a [[Cobybot|nonsentient drone]] that was piloted by [[Coby Hansen|Coby]] and used both in battle and in infiltration of enemy ships. Coby was encouraged to shout "Transform" when transforming it, although the vocal command was completely unnecessary.

===Fun Publications Cybertron Fan Club Comic===

==Toys==
===Cybertron===
*'''Scrapmetal''' (Scout, 2005)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GD-13'''

: Part of the "Scout"-class price-point, the Scrapmetal transforms into a four-legged "spider tank" with top-mounted cannon. Inserting a [[Cyber Planet Key]] into the back end of the cannon swings a removable clear-plastic sawblade-sword from the main chamber of the cannon. In robot mode, the fists can be covered with the tank-mode spikes, or a "pile driver". It comes with a [[Decepticon]]-insignia Cyberton-syle Cyber Planet Key. The toy can represent either the mindless drone or Scrapmetal himself, making it ideal for [[army-building]].

: In Japan, three different colors of Scrapmetal were made available; red, blue and yellow, produced in equal numbers. For the [[Hasbro]] ''Cybertron'' line, at first only the red version was available with a few minor [[paint application]] changes. The Hasbro release also has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Key Code]] '''sf2x''' printed on the back of its Key. Later, the yellow version (with all of the paint applications from the Japanese release) was sold in ''Cybertron'' as well, this one with the Key Code "'''s1j5'''".

: A slight [[retool]] and [[redeco]] of the toy is used for the [[Cobybot]]. For [[BotCon 2006]], attendees who signed up for the custom-painting class received unpainted, unassembled red Scrapmetals, with their parts still on the manufacturing sprues, to be made into ''[[Universe]]'' incarnations of [[Rumble (Universe)|Rumble]] and [[Inferno (Vehicon)|Inferno]].

Lemuria (myth)

2007-03-30T08:12:08Z

Quickstrike: /* Unicron Trilogy */ fixed a link

'''Lemuria''' is known on Earth as a mythical continent that sank beneath the Indian Ocean in ancient times. But in the differing Transformers universes, the truth is often stranger than fiction...

==Generation 1==

===Headmasters animated series===

[[Image: Lemuria.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Sixshot arrives in Lemuria]]

''RTM dub name:'' '''Atlantis'''

''Ass-backwards didn't-even-try R2 DVD names:'' '''Demonia, Lebelia'''

The existence of Lemuria was proven when [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster]] leader [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] uncovered its ruins and used them as a base for his final plan to destroy the [[Earth]]. It is not precisely clear when he discovered Lemuria, but it appeared that he had his plans in motion for some time before the continent's involvement was revealed - [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Devastator]] were stationed in the continent, mining it's powerful [[crysmag metal]], and had not been seen during the latter portion of Scorponok's campaigns on planet [[Master]] and Earth, indicating that they were occupied with this task already.

With four "Death Towers" forged from Lemuria's crysmag metal positioned around Earth, Scorponok withdrew from a battle in Egypt to Lemuria. Plunging into the ocean, he was pursued by renegade Decepticon [[Sixshot]], who was swept up in a whirlpool, and emerged in Lemuria. Discovering Scorponok's plan, he escaped and aided the Autobots in the final battle at the [[North Pole]].

==Unicron Trilogy==

===Cybertron animated series===

''Japanese name:'' '''Pangea'''

The Lemuria is one of the four ancient starships sent off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to explore the galaxy and create a massive [[space bridge]] network. Its crew eventually landed on the world that became known as [[Gigantion]], the Giant Planet. It was the craft known as [[Atlantis]] which landed on the [[Earth]], inspiring the legend of the sunken city in human myth; presumably, references to the Lemuria by the ship's crew were what inspired humanity to form a tale of another sunken continent by that name.

Even as the inhabitants of Gigantion grew, expanding their planet with them, the Lemuria remained in rest on the lowest, original level of the planet, with the [[Cyber Planet Key]] resting within it. Following the arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons on the planet, a race for the Lemuria and the key began, cumulating in a battle between [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]], the latter claiming victory thanks to a power boost from the key. The Lemuria was subsequently made spaceworthy and returned to Cybertron, where it was fused with the other three starships to form the [[Ark]], through which [[Primus]] directed his power to seal the [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]].

With the threat of the black hole and [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] dispatched, a new space bridge program was introduced, and the four starships again departed for the far reaches of the galaxy. Known members of the crew of the Lemuria on this voyage include [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]], [[Undermine]], [[Brimstone]] and [[Signal Lancer]].

Land Military Mini-Con Team

2007-03-22T07:01:36Z

Quickstrike: /* Toys */ It's basically the toy section from the other Military Team pages...

[[Image:Bios card landmilitary.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Only TWO THINGS come from Iacon, boy!!!]]

The '''Land Military Team''' might just be the toughest bunch of roughnecks the [[Mini-Con]]s ever produced. Each one is a top-notch soldier with incredible firepower at their disposal, to say nothing of their wealth of military experience and tactical know-how. Luckily for the [[Autobot]]s, the Land Military Team is mainly interested in freeing their people from [[Decepticon]] tyranny!

The Land Military Mini-Con Team consists of...

*[[Bonecrusher (Armada)|Bonecrusher]] the missile truck.

*[[Knock Out (Armada)|Knock Out]] the armored personnel carrier.

*[[Wreckage (Armada)|Wreckage]] the twin-missile tank.

Grotusque

2007-03-18T05:24:38Z

Quickstrike: Added a Monsterbot link

:''Grotusque is an [[Autobot]] [[Monsterbot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:GrotBot.gif|300px|right|thumb|If only Wildman had gotten to draw these guys in action... sigh.]]

'''Grotusque''' laughs at life and everything in it. Why shouldn't he when nothing out there could ever be as frightening as his own reflection in the mirror? Still, Grotusque gamely laughs off even his own hideous apearence and alternate mode with a joke about [[Primus]] having had a little '''too''' much high-grade [[energon]] that day.

He's jovial, upbeat, and irreverent by nature despite his frightening exterior. To the frequent amusement (and sometimes annoyance) of his comrades, Grotusque can be counted on to fill the air with laughter and lighthearted jokes in even the darkest or least appropriate of situations. To their dismay he's simply incapable of taking ''anything'' totally seriously. Yet they have little other reason to complain, Grotusque's courage is legendary and he's a top-notch fighter. He's also quite brilliant at his function as strategist, with a sharp and analytical mind that's perfect for planning masterful campaigns (and witty quips). Fighting is fun, in Grotusque's opinion, or he simply wouldn't do it, and, in the end, death is as much a joke as life, so smile and laugh a little, and enjoy yourself while you're here.

Snarl (G1)

2007-02-24T04:07:09Z

Quickstrike: /* Generation 1 */ Added the Action Master bit and the "Classics" links

:''Snarl is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:MTMTESnarl.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]

'''Snarl''' is an unhappy, unsociable loner. He grudgingly follows [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s orders and that's about it. He leaves thinking to others. He has few opinions and rarely expresses those he has. Snarl's uncommunicative nature only serves to fuel his sense of isolation. On top of all this, he hates the ungainly stegosaur form given him by the [[Ark]] and feels that the war on [[Earth]] means he may never see his beloved [[Cybertron]] again. Snarl is a profoundly unhappy being.

Only in war does Snarl feel happiness. Only the joy of combat washes away the ache in his spark, and lets him forget anything but the rising thrill of the fight. For these reasons Snarl revels in combat more than even his fellow [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]].

*'''Snarl''' (1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''29'''

: Snarl was originally part of [[Takara]]'s [[Diaclone]] Dinosaur Robo series. When Hasbro imported the toy in 1985 for the Transformers line, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped.

: Snarl transforms from a robotic stegosaurus dinosaur bristling with gold vaccum-metalized armour plates, to a heavily armed robot armed with a red energo-blade, a smaller laser rifle and a rocket launcher with three silver missiles.

: Snarl was later reissued in the European/Australian-exclusive [[Classics (Euro)|Classics]] series (not to be confused with the [[Classics (2006)|2006 Classics]] line).

*'''Snarl with Tyrannitron''' (Action Master, 1990)

:As an [[Action Master]], Snarl is now a non-transforming action figure. He was sold on an individual card with his transforming partner [[Tyrannitron]]. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle.

===Generation 2===
*'''Snarl''' (1993)

: For the ''Generation 2'' line, Snarl was redecoed in colour variants including burgundy, green and his silver. Due to toy safety laws at the time, his rocket launcher accessory was removed.

==Trivia==
''According to his toy bio the [[Beast Machines]] era [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]] [[Striker]] is rumored to be one of the original G1 Dinobots. If this is true, his stegosaur mode and energy absorbing spinal plates strongly point towards his being Snarl.''

*''Originally published:'' January, 2004

==Synopsis==
The issue opens with Optimus Prime gazing out over the rebuilt [[Cyber City]], ten years after the defeat of Unicron. He remarks to Hot Shot that he wants to believe the new era of peace will last, but evil doesn't die so easily. He even states as much to [[Cybertron]]'s High Council, but they do not listen to him, as they feel that the tenuous peace would be destroyed if preparations for war were to be made, even as a precaution.

Elsewhere, Battle Ravage, Tidal Wave, Insecticon, Cruellock, and Dive Bomb are venting their frustrations in an old processing plant. Starscream asks if this is the sum total of those still loyal to the Decepticon cause, remarking that Thrust is happy with his sheriff's badge and Demolisher never even gave them a second thought. Scorponok soon shows up however and, unwilling to listen to Starscream and wondering why Megatron ever did, blasts him into an ore grinder, destroying him. As Starscream's remains are melted down and processed, Scorponok opens a space bridge portal.

In one of the Mini-Con villages, Optimus Prime approaches a strange pyramid that has been built into the surface asking for Over-Run. Skyblast and Signa Flare, who are standing guard, express doubt as to whether or not he's really Optimus Prime. As he begins to get irritated, the pyramid opens, revealing Over-Run, who is apparently interfaced with Cybertron itself. He dismisses the Omni-Cons, telling Prime that their manners are still underdeveloped and explaining that they are a natural evolution that he been nurturing to fruition. Prime asks Over-Run if Unicron still exists and how long they have before he returns, and Over-Run responds that Prime should be asking the planet itself. With Hot Shot and Ironhide tagging along, Prime goes to a remote uplink platform that Over-Run directed him to and, touching it, finds himself in contact with the spirit of Alpha Trion. He takes Prime's spirit to the ruined surface of Unicron, where he sees Scorponok and the others step through the space bridge portal, presenting Tidal Wave to Alpha Quintesson as their newest recruit. He upgrades Tidal Wave's body and tells him that he must now serve Unicron forever. As Optimus Prime tries to make sense of what he's seen, he suddenly hears the tortured voice of Megatron. He tells Prime that he is imprisoned within the spark core of Unicron, and begs him to free him, in exchange for the knowledge of how to destroy Unicron once and for all. As Prime comes out of his trance, he tells Hot Shot that Earth is rich with Energon, and Unicron has sent his new Decepticon lackeys to claim it. Meanwhile, Airazor, Rhinox, Cheetor, and Terrorsaur, now reformatted as Unicron's four horsemen, ask Alpha Quintesson if he trusts Unicron's new minions. He replies that they will betray him at the earliest possible moment, for they are expendable and will prove useful for a time. As for the horsemen, it is their job to go to Cybertron and usher in the apocalypse...

==Errors==
*When Prime first appears on Unicron's surface, he is mistakenly colored in his original Armada colors, rather than his Powerlinx coloration.

==Items of note==
*Two variants of the comic were released in equal ratio. One of Prime's Energon form, another of Prime facing Scorponok with Unicron in the background consuming Megatron.

Soundwave (G1)

Quickstrike: /* Generation 1 */ Added the Action Master bit and expanded on Soundblaster

{{disambig3|Soundwave}}

:''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. In the Japanese series, he later took the name '''Soundblaster'''.''

[[Image:Soundwave_mixalot.jpg|thumb|300px|Big butts: preferred. Lying: impossible.]]

'''Soundwave''' is one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s most reliable troops, and has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in Megatron's upper command structure, and stands at the Decepticon leader's side as confidant. Soundwave guards his place in the hierarchy fiercely. Though loyal to Megatron, the other Decepticons see him as a two-faced snake. As Communications Officer, Soundwave sees and hears all, and will not hesitate to use blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron's esteem. The other Decepticons wouldn't mind abandoning him on the battlefield -- if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.

Soundwave commands a legion of cassette troops to carry out tasks big and small. Sometimes he lets them all out to watch impromptu gladiator games.

''(Note: Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.)''
[[Image:Contentedfools.jpg|left|thumb|200px|[[Ravage]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Soundwave, the first Decepticons.]]
After the Transformers' awakening on Earth, Soundwave served quietly under Megatron, before he was overthrown by Shockwave. Under Shockwave's command, Soundwave attacked the [[Blackrock Aerospace Plant]] and secured it for Decepticon use. {{storylink|Warrior School!}} The plant's facilities were used to create the [[Constructicons]], who built a massive radio dish that Soundwave used to beam a message back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}} ''Soundwave assumed leadership of the Decepticons a short time later and lead them against the Autobots during the "Dinobot Hunt," during a brief period when both Megatron and Shockwave were missing in action.'' {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt}}

When Megatron resurfaced, rendered immobile in a Wyoming coal mine due to lack of fuel, Soundwave sped to his rescue, re-energizing him. {{storylink| I, Robot Master!}} ''Using the splintered state of the Decepticon forces to his advantage, Soundwave worked both sides of the field, reporting to both Megatron and the returned Shockwave, without the other's knowledge. When Shockwave learned that the human [[Buster Witwicky]] had begun to suffer [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced visions of the [[combiner|next leap in Transformer evolution]], Soundwave reported this to Megatron, prompting him to battle Shockwave for leadership. The Decepticons' human ally, [[Robot Master]], televised the battle, much to Soundwave's distaste, and in order to prevent the Decepticons from looking like fools, interrupted the duel and insisted that they agree to a joint leadership.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

[[Image:Laserbeakwarriorschool.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Fly, my pretties, fly!]]
''When the [[Robot-Master]] hoax the Decepticons were perpetrating was threatened by the investigate work of [[Joy Meadows]], Soundwave was instrumental in ending the conflict that ensued between the Decepticons and the Dinobots by holding the reporter hostage and destroying her footage.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest!}} ''Not long thereafter, when the deranged future Decepticon, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], travelled back in time, Soundwave was intruiged by the fact that he was unable to scan his mind to discern the truth of his identity. Siding with Megatron when conflict erupted, Soundwave and his leader were buried under an avalanche by Galvatron, and then rescued by the Autobots in the name of forming an alliance to defeat their common enemy.'' {{storylink|Target 2006}}

''It would be some time before Soundwave came back to the fore, and his return to the spotlight was an ignominious one. With Megatron having apparently died, Soundwave was now once again under Shockwave's command, and, while patrolling on the Decepticon's mobile island base, found himself attacked and subdued by the time-travelling freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death's Head]], and tricked into giving up information on the whereabouts of Galvatron.'' {{storylink|Hunters!}} ''Although Death's Head's attempts to track down the Decepticon met with failure, Galvatron was ultimately entombed in lava, where he was later discovered by [[Susan Hoffman]]. Soundwave observed a televised broadcast of her discovery, and he and the [[Combaticon]]s attempted to destroy Galvatron with explosives planted around the volcano in question. After a battle with the [[Throttlebot]]s, Soundwave found that he was unable to remotely detonate the explosives planted around the volcano thanks to Blaster jamming his signal.'' {{storylink|Ladies' Night!}}

[[Image:Soundwave uscomics.jpg|thumb|left|G2 before it was cool.]]When Shockwave was removed from power, Soundwave smoothly transitioned to serving under the new Decepticon leader Ratbat, and helped to operate his [[Realvision]] playback system to decode data from Autobot tapes [[Grandslam]] and [[Raindance]]. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}} The tapes, it was discovered, contained information on the [[Underbase]], the power of which was soon claimed by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], who immediately targeted the Earth. Soundwave co-lead the defence of New York alongside [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], but was deactivated by a blast of cosmic power from Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}

''It would be some time before Soundwave was operational again, but was back on his feet by the time that Starscream - now a [[Pretender]] - was busy doubting his self-worth.'' {{storylink|Fallen Star}} He continued to operate under the command of the new Decepticon Earth commander, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].

''In 2007, in the alternate future world of [[Earth-120185]], Soundwave was second-in-command of the Decepticon forces under Shockwave, and succeeded him after Death's Head assassinated him on the orders of [[Unicron]].'' {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} ''In 2008, Soundwave entered into an alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s, arranging to attack the Autobots as part of a larger plan. He was, however, unaware of the aliens' true plans to take control of Cybertron, and found himself double-crossed when the Quintessons ambushed the Decepticons en route to their attack on the Autobots. The Autobots, led by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]], saved Soundwave's forces from the Quintessons, and they joind forces to repel the Quintesson invasion.'' {{storylink|Space Pirates!}} ''Finally, in 2009, Soundwave led the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] back in time to 1989, where they briefly participated in the "Time Wars," before returning to their own time in the midst of the conflict to save their own hides.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

====Earthforce====

''In the tangent timeline that is home to the Autobot [[Earthforce]] team, Soundwave nominally served on Megatron's side during the Decepticon Civil War, but, once again, was not above exploiting the conflict for his own ends. When an energon shipment was hijacked by Shockwave's forces thanks to information he had given them, Megatron came to suspect the presence of a traitor in his ranks, but ironically assigned Soundwave to identify them. To keep his own duplicity a secret, he sets up [[Wildrider]] to take the fall, and Megatron destroys the [[Stunticon]].'' {{storylink|Secrets}}

''Approached by Starscream with a plan to make them both Decepticon leaders, Soundwave joined forces with the schemer and lured Megatron and Shockwave to an airport, tipping off the Autobots to their location. With the two leaders thus occupied, Soundwave and Starscream take control.'' {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}}'' Subsequently, Soundwave led an all-out attack on the Earthforce base as a diversion, while Starscream attempts to plunder an oil tanker. Starscream meets with failure, however, leading Soundwave to withdraw his forces, and wonder if he should not take leadership for himself alone.'' {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} ''Starscream is aware of Soundwave's goals, and when he is attacked by a group of alien assassins, suspects that he has ordered the hit and strikes back at him. Soundwave is able to convince him he is not responsible - in actuality, it was the work of Megatron and Soundwave.'' {{storylink|External Forces!}}

''Learning that human reporter [[Irwin Spoon]] had secured an interview with the Autobots that could potentially resolve public view of the Transformer war. Seeking to prevent this, he has the Stunticons captured the journalist, and although the Autobots are able to rescue him, a carefully planted [[cerebro-shell]] ensures that the story Irwin writes is anything but accurate.'' {{storylink|End of the Road!}}

[[Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|thumb||left|Post no bills.]]
Prior to his arrival on Earth, Soundwave had the questionably useful [[altmode]] of a space-age lamp-post. This allowed him to get as close to Autobot headquarters as the street leading into [[Iacon]], but thankfully his chest-dwelling minion [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] could snoop even closer. The loyal Laserbeak overheard talk of the Autobot mission to seek new energy sources off Cybertron, which prompted the fateful Decepticon interception mission that eventually landed both teams on Earth.

Immediately after the Transformers awakened on Earth in 1984, Soundwave played an essential role in the generation of [[energon cube]]s and the formation of plans for a new space cruiser to return the Decepticons to Cybertron. He sounded really cool when he talked about these, too. Soundwave was reformatted as a portable casette player, which allowed him to dupe a grabby and none-too-questioning [[Spike Witwicky]] into carrying his shrunken form into the [[Ark]] headquarters. This was to happen many times to the seemingly tape-deck addicted citizens of Earth.

Later, he used his mind-reading talents to acquire an antimatter formula for the Decepticons from the brain of [[Chip Chase]]. One of Soundwave's most notable misadventures came in in 1985, when, operating a plan conceived by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], he brainwashed humans with ultrasonic vibrations inside the Decepticon-built night club [[Dancitron]] in [[New York City]], leading to a confrontation with his Autobot Communications Officer counterpart, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], beginning a lasting rivalry between the two.

[[Image:Soundwaveg1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|We'll get you next time, Gadget.]]

Soundwave rarely displayed much emotion, and only infrequently exhibited any cunning and self-serving traits. He came across as extremely loyal to Megatron, even going so far as to recover the mortally wounded leader after being left for dead at the Battle of Autobot City in 2005. But while Soundwave was loyal, he was far from stupid, and kept his mouth shut when Megatron was subsequently ejected into space, and although he did suggest himself as a replacement leader, he again loyally served Megatron when he returned as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]].

In the year 2006, although operating in a less prominent capacity for most of the time, Soundwave played a prominent role in Galvatron's attempt to learn the secret of a sonic weapon on the planet [[Eurythma]], where sound and music were the way of life, leaving Soundwave entranced by the planet's perfect melodies. Recording each piece of the harmony that formed the devastating sonic effect, Soundwave was defeated when the Eurythmans countered the harmony with white noise, and was again pulled into a confrontation with Blaster, who erased his recordings.

=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformer'' manga=====

Soundwave and his cassettes had stolen some top secret information and were being pursued through Tokyo by the Autobots. His chase eventually ended when Bumblebee got the drop on him with his patented "Bumble-Kick" and shattered his chest and the stolen information within.

''The manga maintained something resembling continuity: during his appearance in the third issue of the book, Soundwave was shown to have bandages over his chest. Adorable.''

=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Trasnformer'' story pages=====

In the second "Anime Theater" story page, titled ''Sick em, Hound!'', the Autobots decided to keep themselves in shape by having a friendly race. Soundwave learned of the race and set up a trap within a narrow canyon. He walled the Autobots up within the canyon and began shooting them all. Luckily, [[Hound]] arrived on the scene and delivered a powerful punch to his chest, shattering his tape door. Soundwave immediately fled.

====''Headmasters''====

Shortly after the arrival of the [[Headmaster]]s, Soundwave and Blaster engaged in their final clash in the Arctic circle as the Autobots and Decepticons were in the process of searching for the missing Autobot [[Matrix]] of Leadership. The two opponents inflicted fatal damage on each other, and Soundwave's body exploded even as Blaster collapsed, but his fragments were recovered by his cassettes. Using reconstructive technology from the planet [[Master]], the leader of the Decepticon Headmasters, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] successfully rebuilt and resurrected Soundwave as '''Soundblaster''' - essentially identical to his former self, except for his predominantly black color scheme. As Soundblaster, Soundwave served the same role as he had ever done under the leadership of Galvatron and later Scorponok, frequently embarking on spying missions with [[Ratbat]].

=====''Headmasters'' manga=====

After the Decepticons had been vanquished from Earth, [[Scorponok (G1)|Mega Zarak]] ordered Soundblaster to remain on Earth in secret to act as a spy for the Decepticons. Soundwave made his presence and intentions known almost instantly (not a very good spy) by kicking [[Wheelie]] square in the face and taking the [[Spike Witwicky|Witwicky]] family hostage. Strangely enough, the Autobots considered these acts to be hostile. [[Chromedome]] was left powerless to do anything but surrender, as [[Slugfest]] and [[Overkill]] brutalized [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and threatened [[Carly]]. Daniel finally snapped and beat the living crap out of the two Cassette dinosaurs, leaving Soundblaster open to Chromedome's poorly named "Master-Chrome Hurricane Throw to the End of Hell!" Chromedome chucked Soundblaster over the horizon where he landed near the rogue Decepticon, [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]].

===Kid Stuff Talking Story Books continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' Unknown

In ''[[When Continents Collide]]'', [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] calls Soundwave a "blundering tape-filled idiot." This is notable because it is hilarious. Also, Soundwave is really, really whiny in these stories.

===''Beast Wars''===
Soundwave is shown among the many Transformers strewn about the interior of the Ark when the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] infiltrates the ship on his mission to destroy Optimus Prime.

In the [[3H]] ''Tales of the Beast Wars'' comics, Soundwave is one of the ancient warriors who appears from [[J'nwan]] to help battle the warlord [[Shokaract]].

{{-}}

===Dreamwave Generation 1 continuity===

Soundwave was among the Decepticons who quickly joined Shockwave's forces upon returning to Cybertron. It seems clear, however, that Soundwave had little loyalty to him, as he readily joins up with Starscream when the [[Seeker]] decides to return to Earth and take over. Though Soundwave feigned subservience to Starscream, it is later revealed that he had been serving Megatron the entire time in secret.

===Devil's Due G.I.Joe vs. Transformers comics===

===IDW comics continuity===

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Soundwave''' (Decepticon, 1984/1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''17'''

: Came with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] in the US and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] in Japan. Prior to his release as a Transformer, Soundwave was a Microchange Cassetteman Sony Walkman, which came with a set of non-functioning headphones to listen to the silence of his non-functioning tapes. His weapons turned into imitation batteries to power his nonexistent circuitry.

: VS-Y Soundwave came with Rumble and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]

*'''Soundblaster''' (Decepticon, 1987)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-101'''

: As part of the Japanese [[Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]] series, Soundwave was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed so that he could hold 2 Cassettes in his chest at once. He came packaged with Buzzsaw.

*'''Soundwave with Wingthing''' (Action Master, 1990)

: [[Action Master]] Soundwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. He came packaged with his new partner [[Wingthing]].

===Generation 2===
*'''Soundwave''' (Go-Bot, 1995)

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Gearhead]], Soundwave transforms into a Ford Thunderbird stock car with precision wheels and wire axles, compatible with "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" playsets and tracks (which he was properly sized to fit).

: Notably, his color scheme is very '''loud''', being bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue. This is one time fans can actually get away with describing a toy's color scheme as [[neon]].

===Machine Wars===
*'''Soundwave''' (Mega, 1997)

:A a neutered [[redeco]] of [[Stalker]].

===Universe===
*'''Soundwave & Space Case''' (Ultra, 2004)

: The ''Machine Wars'' version of Soundwave was redecoed for release in the ''[[Universe]]'' line in an Ultra-level two-pack with [[Space Case]]. Due to the lack of fiction, it is ''possible'' that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, or possibly a new character altogether.

===Titanium===
*'''Soundwave'''

: A 6" Soundwave with Laserbeak was shown in Hasbro's booth at SDCC 2006.

===Classics (2006)===
*'''Soundwave'''

: A reissue version of the original toy, Soundwave is a Toys'R'Us exclusive, packaged with Laserbeak and Ravage. It is notable for using the double cassette door from the Soundblaster reissue.

===Attacktix===
*'''Soundwave''' (Booster, 2007)

===Unreleased===
:In ''Generation 2'', a [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Pig]] was planned as Soundwave, but ultimately never released, one of many planned redecos that never made it. Some packaged samples do exist.

==Merchandise==

==Trivia==
[[Image:Soundwavecommercial.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Say hello to my leetle friend!]]
* Though Soundwave's toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman. (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)
* Animation from early ''Transformers'' commercials featured a Soundwave model colored in very light blue, versus the dark blue used later. Also, instead of the cassettes ejecting themselves from his chest, he reached into his chest compartment with his own fingers and threw the (tiny) tapes into the air.
* The Marvel US comics chose a purple scheme for Soundwave. This could have been an error, an early look for him that was dropped in other media, or perhaps an attempt to distinguish him from the other Decepticons, who were mostly blue (especially since blacks also ended up as blues in the industry's then-limited color pallette). The Marvel UK comics colored him blue like everywhere else.

[[Image:Bm soundwave.jpg|thumb|right|Soundwave gets slagged by Vehicons, and Nightscream escapes. How's that for injustice?]]

* Soundwave's mold was used for one of the generic transformers in Beast Machines and was seen in [[Nightscream]]'s flashback being cornered by [[Vehicon]] drones just before Nightscream fled into the lower levels of Cybertron.
* Later, Soundwave's character model showed up numerous times in various color schemes as a generic background character in [[Armada (television series)|Armada]].
* [[Sideways]] listened to music using a tape deck resembling Soundwave in the [[Cybertron (television series)|Cybertron]] cartoon. Later, after a new [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] was found, ''Cybertron'' [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] held tape deck Soundwave in his arms.

Titanium Series

2007-02-19T03:44:50Z

Quickstrike: There's Marvel Titanium stuff as well

'''Titanium Series''' is a [[Hasbro]] toyline of partly [[die-cast]] toys produced by their [[Galoob]] branch. Originally consisting entirely of [[Star Wars]] vehicles of various sizes, it has since expanded into ''Battlestar Galactica'' vehicles, [[Marvel Comics]] characters and ''Transformers''.

''Transformers Titaniums'' are produced in two size classes. '''Robot Masters''' are 3-inch untransformable die-cast figurines of Transformers characters from various past and present toylines. '''Cybertron Hero'''es are 6-inch transformable partly die-cast toys of (so far) new Transformers designs by [[Don Figueroa]].

It is worth noting that since the Titaniums are developed by a separate branch of Hasbro from the normal ''Transformers'' team (who only has ''some'' input into character choices and looks), they do not take away "slots" from other Transformers lines. They are also not engineered or "mech-designed" by [[Takara]].

They are also not actually made of titanium.

Slicer (G1)

:''Slicer is a [[Decepticon]] [[Action Master]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

'''Slicer''' only knows one thing: attack. This single-mindness has even led to difficutly in relating to his fellow Decepticons; the ever-lasting desire to attack forces Slicer to be cruel and unjust to all. On top of this, Slicer has a very short temper.

[[Image:IDW Torca.jpg|thumb|right|300px| How would '''you''' like to taste everyone you ever hugged?]]
General '''Torca''''s fuzor body equips him well for land and water. His massive size belies his combat skill. Hand-to-hand combat with Torca is a challenge; his huge tusks can swap most [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] with ease.

==Fiction==
===IDW Beast Wars comics===
Torca was one of the [[protoforms]] jettisoned from the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' on prehistoric [[Earth]]. He was activated and put in chronal phase by [[Razorbeast]] at [[Magmatron (BW)|Magmatron]]'s request, but was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code.

Soon after awakening, he joined up with [[K-9]], [[Bantor]], [[Stinkbomb]], [[Armordillo]], and [[Noctorro]]. During their journey to meet up with Razorbeast, Torca got stuck in some mud. He needed the help of his new travelling companions to free him. After following Razorbeast's signal for days, and picking up more Maximals along the way, Torca exploded into battle against Magmatron's [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. The giant Fuzor tipped the scales, allowing the Maximals to win that altercation. The united group awaited rescue from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

Transmetal

2007-02-09T02:44:01Z

Quickstrike: /* Toys */ Fixed Optimus Minor's link

[[Image:Transmetal.JPG|thumb|182px|"Hey, I'm, uh, gorgeous!"]]
A '''Transmetal''' is a (generally) [[Vok]] related enhanced form of a [[Beast Wars]] era Transformer, featuring a "mutated superstructure".

==Normal Transmetal==
In beast mode, the Transmetals seemed almost, if not entirely, mechancial, much like the animal Transformers of the previous [[Generation 1]] franchise. However, as part of a partial "inversion", many of their robot modes bore organic elements, such as [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]'s furry chest. Transmetals also typically featured a third "mobility" mode. While not full vehicular modes, these half-modes gave aspects of a vehicle to the existing beast forms. Examples included Rattrap as a wheeled rat and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] as a jet-powered inline skating enthusiast.

===''Beast Wars'' animated series===
The Transmetals were created as a result of transformers being bathed in a [[quantum surge]] after the destruction of the [[Vok]] [[Planet Buster]]. All the Beast warriors who were not "born" from a [[protoform]] on Earth or shielded in a [[CR Chamber]] were altered. (Why Earth-"born" Transformers were immune to the surge's effects is unknown.)

The affected characters were Megatron, [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], Rattrap, and Cheetor. [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] were in the middle of their mutation when they fell into lava pits beneath the ''[[Darkside]]'' and perished. [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], and [[Depth Charge (BW)|Depth Charge]] also eventually became Transmetals as a result of the surge.

Most Transmetals had additional weapons and seemingly enhanced power levels. They were immune to many [[Vok]] weapons, and may even be immune to the effects of [[energon]] radiation.

This last point had little bearing on the plot, since most of the energon deposits on [[Earth]]'s surface had been destroyed by the Planet Buster cannon. However, in Tangled Web, Tarantulas is standing beneath an energon cache, completely unaffected. Meanwhile, in The Agenda, the non-Transmetal Inferno suffers energon overload while attempting to kill Optimus Primal and Cheetor. So immunity to the radiation may be a permanent effect of the Transmetal body.

According to [[Ben Yee]], the Transmetals were originally conceived of by ''Beast Wars'' writers as "absorbing" energon radiation and then needing to later discharge that energy, typically as weapon energy.<ref>Ben Yee's "Bad Spark" review, http://www.bwtf.com/bw/tvshow/episodes/seasontwo/badspark/</ref> However, the only time this was hinted at in the series was during "[[Bad Spark]]", when Cheetor "farts" a little energon cloud.

The [[Fuzor]]s [[Silverbolt (BW) (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]] and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]], like the Transmetals, were shown to be immune to Vok technology, seemingly possessing qualities of Transmetals.

===Toys===
In addition to the characters mentioned above, Transmetal toys were also produced for [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]], [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], and technically [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] (the [[Scavenger (BW)|Scavenger]] toy was initially intended to be his TM form, and was so in Japan and the UK.) None of these appeared on the show.

Scorponok, [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], and [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]], though also not Transmetal in the show, were given their own Transmetal toys as Happy Meal pack-ins from McDonald's. [[Claw Jaw]] and [[Spittor]] were redecoed and sold as Transmetals in European markets with a VHS tape.

==Transmetal 2==
[[Image:Dinobot2-postcard.jpg|right|thumb|Pose!]]
Near the end of the series, a new breed, known as '''Transmetal 2'''s appeared. These new forms blurred the line between the mechanical and the organic even further, with equal parts of both appearing in both modes in an asymmetrical patchwork like jumble. This often resulted in somewhat monstrous looking designs.

===''Beast Wars'' animated series===
Within the context of the television series, the idea of a Transmetal 2 was somewhat vague. Only Cheetor, [[Dinobot 2]], and Blackarachnia were definitely meant to be Transmetals 2. Each of them was altered by an enigmatic piece of Vok technology known as the "[[Transmetal Driver]]" which appeared early in season three. The exact origin and nature of the Driver is unknown.

Optimus Primal and Megatron also received new bodies in season three, in the same fashion as each other, but only Megatron's toy was labeled as a Transmetal 2. (Optimal Optimus was a normal Transmetal.) It is unclear whether, within the story of the cartoon, these bodies were meant to be similar to the bodies granted by the TM Driver. Both of their new bodies were the result of temporarily merging their [[spark]]s with the sparks of their ''[[Generation 1]]''-era counterparts, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|G1 Megatron]].

[[Tigerhawk (BW)|Tigerhawk]]'s toy was also labeled as Transmetal 2. His in-show origin involved both the fusing of two sparks, those of [[Tigatron (BW)|Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], and Vok technology.

The new forms for all of these characters, whether produced by the Transmetal Driver or by spark fusion, were portrayed as substantially more powerful than normal Transmetals.

===Toys===
According to their toy packages and bios, the Transmetals 2 were all the results of Megatron's cloning experiments. This roughly aligned with the beginning of the cartoon story, as the first Transmetal 2, Dinobot 2, was created by Megatron. This cloning experiment angle also helped to explain the presence of [[Optimus Minor]].

Unlike Transmetals, most Transmetals 2 did not have a third mode. Only the largest Transmetal 2 toys, Tigerhawk and Megatron, were designed to have more than two modes, but Megatron's was never featured in the TV show and Tigerhawk's was dropped entirely even from the toy. Neither vehicle mode was especially well-implemented.

Early on in the release of TM2 toys, the packaging used a Roman numeral "II", but a running change in the packaging was made to the Arabic number "2".

== IDW ''Beast Wars'' comic ==

In the IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics, a new group of Predacons traveled back to the Beast Wars era (taking place in the third season of the program around the episode "Changing of the Guard") and activated the remainder of the [[stasis pod]]s ejected from the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''. The Transformers who emerged from these pods included normal beast-form Transformers, Transmetals, and Transmetals 2.

All the Beast Wars characters/toys not featured in the original cartoon (barring a few that traveled back with [[Magmatron (BW)|Magmatron]]) were given this same origin regardless of their "Transmetal" status. It was not explained why their states differed, nor why their situation differed from the non-Transmetal Earth-"born" Transformers in the show.

Vector Prime

2007-02-07T03:38:25Z

Quickstrike: /* Cybertron */ fixed a link

{{disambig3|Prime}}
:''Vector Prime is an [[Autobot]] character in the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:VectorPrime_dvd.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Your weapons are useless against Prince of Space and Time.]]

'''Vector Prime''' is [[Primus]]'s appointed guardian of time and space. 25 million years old<ref>[[Revelations, Part 4]]</ref>, the clockwork-covered Transformer is one of the [[13 original Transformers]]. Despite his age, Vector Prime is very powerful, and can warp both space and time, though excessive use of this power can severely weaken him.

Vector Prime was once a holder of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]<ref>[[Ask Vector Prime]]</ref> before he left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to guard space and time, a lonely job which isolated him from Cybertronian culture for tens of millions of years. Though he has rejoined the timestream on occasion to protect it from large-scale dangers,<ref>[[Vector Prime: In the Beginning]]</ref> his extraordinary exile has left him emotionally, culturally, and politically disconnected from his race. He speaks in archaic terminology steeped in chivalry from an age long past and is unfamiliar with the Autobot/[[Decepticon]] war. Despite this disconnect, Vector Prime never forgets that these strange modern creatures are the reason he guards space and time so fiercely. It is the miracle of time that allows these precious lives to continue.

Vector Prime has a "Guardian [[Mini-Con]]" called [[Safeguard (Cybertron)|Safeguard]], and is also responsible for the [[Recon Mini-Con Team]].

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
====Fun Publications ''Cybertron'' comic====

[[Image:Vectorprimeut.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Hey, I can see THE DAWN OF TIME from here! Hi, Phil!]]

During the long dormancy of [[Primus]] and [[Unicron]] at the beginning of time, Vector Prime retreated from the march of history to prepare for when his skills would once again be called upon. From this isolation he watched the greatest victories and defeats of the Transformers race across the various timelines, intervening only when his hand was needed to preserve the balance of time. (For example, Vector Prime helped mend [[Generation 1]] [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and repair the timestorm that [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] had unleashed in the [[Beast Wars]].) However, the awakening of Primus and Unicron returned Vector Prime to active service, following the wake of Unicron across the multiverse to prevent or restore what damage the Dark God had inflicted with its contaminating presence.

After the [[Powerlinx Battles]], Primus attempted to lock Unicron's essence away in the center of a newborn sun, but this plan backfired and the sun collapsed into a black hole, also known as the [[Unicron Singularity]]. This threatened the multiverse itself, so Vector Prime was called back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to assist the Autobots in locating artifacts which would destroy the black hole.

[[Image:Vectorprimeutramjet.jpg|right|thumb|Hey, we got swords. Let's parry.]]

During the Autobots' search, Vector Prime would routinely confer with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] on their progress. During one such visit, [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] and [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]], followers of Unicron, attacked them, heavily damaging Alpha Trion and destroying [[Vector Sigma]]. It was Ramjet's plan that Nemesis Prime would unleash his [[Dead Matrix]] to destroy their Creator, and so the two travelled to the chamber deep within Cybertron that housed Primus' essence. Vector Prime and [[Sentinel Maximus]] met and battled them there. Vector Prime and Ramjet's fight left the chamber and ended ultimately high above Cybertron. Though Vector Prime was able to defeat Ramjet and seal him away in another dimension, this act weakened him considerably. The guardian of space and time returned to the Autobots on [[Earth]] and left Cybertron in the care of [[Over-Run (Armada)|Over-Run]], a Mini-Con who had taken the reins of what remained of Vector Sigma.

[[Image:CG-VectorPrime.jpg|left|thumb|200px|This additional weapon would have aided myself in the previous battle with the villianous Ramjet. What folly to not have used it!]]

When Vector Prime discovered that [[Unicron]]'s destruction had resulted in a [[Unicron_Singularity|black hole]] that threatened existence itself, his role as Guardian of Time and Space compelled him to set forth to fix it using the Omega Lock and the four Cyber Planet Keys, forged from the spark of Primus himself. Of course, the fact that these ancient artifacts were lost several million years ago presented certain problems. As a result, he returned to Cyberton in an attempt to enlist some help, and encountered the charismatic [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], who tricked Vector Prime into handing over the Planet Map to the [[Decepticons]]. Immediately thereafter, Vector Prime realized the Decepticons were actually kind of jerks, and joined the Autobots. Vector Prime was vital to the Autobot cause, as he could create small-scale [[Space Bridge|Space Bridges]] with his sword, as well as force fields with the aid of his Universal Cyber Key. On one occasion, when Megatron killed Coby, Bud, and Lori, Vector Prime turned back time to save them, although this caused him great strain. Later, he would find the Omega Lock in the spaceship [[Atlantis]], and get it back.

{{spoiler}}

In a heroic sacrifice, Vector Prime overloaded his time-travel powers to send the stranded Autobots back to a point before they arrived on [[Gigantion]]. Sadly, this incredible strain spelled the end of his physical existence, and he became One With Time Itself. He would not be seen again, but, from Beyond Time, he gave his sword to [[Optimus_Prime_(Armada)|Optimus Prime]] in Prime's final battle with [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]].

[[Image:Vector Primevs.Megatron.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Battling.. IN THE NEXT DIMENSION!]]

''In the "what happens to everybody after the show ended" scenes from the show's final episode, Vector Prime can be seen dueling with Galvatron in what is presumably a Battle of the Dead Guys somewhere in the [[Allspark_(dimension)|Allspark]].''

{{-}}

===Real world continuity===

At some undetermined point in Vector Prime's life, he took the time to answer a series of questions about himself, other Transformers, and the ''Transformers: Cybertron'' toyline in a recurring feature on Hasbro's official ''Transformers'' website called "[[Ask Vector Prime]]". Because of his mastery of time and space it is impossible to determine when exactly he visited -- or perhaps merely communicated with -- our universe, but it may have been during the course of events in the ''Cybertron'' animated series, as he answers questions regarding those events and other characters who he had not met before the series began. Alternatively, he may have answered the questions after the conclusion of the series from within the Allspark, which is known to be a dimensional nexus of sorts.

:''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-03'''

[[Image:VectorPrime_toy.jpg|left|thumb|200px|I'm the [[Last Autobot]]'s beiger cousin.]]

: First released in Japan, Vector Prime transforms into a large cybertronic space cruiser with "solar panel" wings, his shape seemingly taking cues from both the ''[[Beast Wars]]'' starship ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' and the ''[[Star Wars]]'' Sith Infiltrator. His nosecone has a spring-loaded missile launcher at the tip. He is also one of the few early molds in the series to have [[Mini-Con]] [[Powerlinx]] plugs. Inserting his unique [[Cyber Planet Key]] in either mode activates electronic sounds. He comes with his Mini-Con partner [[Safeguard (Cybertron)|Safeguard]].

: Vector Prime has some significant differences between the [[Takara]] and [[Hasbro]] releases. [[Takara]]'s release uses a matte gray plastic with a lighter, burgundy-tinted brown, uses firmer plastic for his clear-blue parts, and has more intricate [[paint application]]s. Hasbro's release has a higher-contrast color scheme of white with chocolate-brown, more flexible clear-blue plastic ([[for safety reasons]]), and less-intricate paint applications.

* '''Vector Prime'' vs ''Starscream''' (Multi-pack, 2005)

: The Vector Prime in this Toys 'R' Us [[exclusive]] set is identical to the regular-retail version, even though the [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream]] is not only a mold not available at normal US retail, but is in an entirely new coloration not used for its Japanese release.

* '''Vector Prime''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2006)

[[Image:LOC_VectorPrime.jpg|right|thumb|And I'm his poorer cousin who can't afford paint.]]

: As part of the ''[[Legends of Cybertron]]'' line, Vector Prime is a miniature, heavily-simplified version of the Voyager-class toy. he was part of the third wave of product, the fist wave to be sold outside of "[[market six]]" stores and in "big box" chains like Toys 'R' Us and K-Mart.

* '''Galaxy Force Vector Prime''' (Voyager, 2006)

[[Image:Cyb_GFVectorPrime_toy.jpg|left|thumb|Bling bling.]]

: Not to be confused with the ''Galaxy Force'' release of Vector Prime, Galaxy Force Vector Prime is a matte gold [[redeco]] of Vector Prime released near the end of the ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' toyline.

===Attacktix===
*'''Vector Prime''' (Booster, 2006)
[[Image:Attacktix_VectorPrime.jpg|right|thumb|130px]]

: Part of the first assortment of [[Attacktix]] Transformers-series Booster packs, Vector Prime is an "Ultra-Rare" 40-point Leader piece that uses a "shield missile" attack. His Special Power allows you to instantly remove up to two of your opponent's in-play [[Insecticon (Energon)|Insecticons]]. Like all Boosters, he was available only in [[blind-packed]] sets with two pieces in each box, one Rare and one Super-Rare (your odds of getting a Vector are one in twelve).

: This version uses the Takara coloration of gray with a metallic burgundy; pictures of a more Hasbro-release-like white-and-brown redeco have been shown, but it is currently unknown how this version will be released.

==Trivia/Notes==
*"Vector Prime" was originally proposed as the name for [[Sentinel Maximus]], going so far as to be the name printed on Sentinel Maximus' shipping cases.

*According to the [[Hasbro]] panel at [[Botcon]] 2006, Vector Prime's head was largely based around the [[Autobot]] insignia. At one point in the design process, a flip-down battle mask identical to the Autobot symbol was proposed.

Micron Booster

2007-01-27T06:36:51Z

Quickstrike: /* Micron Booster Vol.2 */ Changed the Saber link

The Micron Booster sets are Japanese-exclusive [[Mini-Con]]s, sold in individual, blind-packed boxes. The plastic bags inside the box were opaque black as well. As such, buyers did not know what Mini-Con was inside the box until they opened them.

==Micron Booster Ver.0==
[[Image:MBv0-box.jpg|right]]
The first assortment of Micron Boosters was sold as part of the ''Micron Legend'' (the Japanese name for ''[[Armada]]'') series. The versions of the [[Air Defense Mini-Con Team (Armada)|Air Defense Mini-Con Team]] and the [[Race Mini-Con Team]] in this assortment are cast in a slightly-sparkly plastic with slightly-sparkly paint, but are otherwise nearly identical to the standard retail releases.

Ver.0 includes...

:1. [[Rod]]
:2. [[Atlas]]
:3. [[Jetstorm (Armada)|Mach (Jetstorm)]]
:4. [[Runway|Jetter (Runway)]]
:5. [[Sonar (Armada)|Shuttler (Sonar)]]
:6. [[Dirt Boss (Armada)|Drift (Dirt Boss)]]
:7. [[Downshift (Armada)|Spin (Downshift)]]
:8. [[Mirage (Armada)|Indy (Mirage)]]

==Micron Booster Ver.1==
New for the ''Super Link'' (Japanese ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'') series, the second assortment of Micron Boosters set the stage for the following waves. This time, every single toy in the assortment was redecoed, and the number of toys brought up to twelve in the assortment.
[[Image:MBv1-box.jpg|right]]

Ver.1 includes...

:1. [[Chrome]]
:2. [[Thyristor]]
:3. [[Synapse]]
:4. [[Lens]]
:5. [[Quantum]]
:6. [[Beacon]]
:7. [[Mile]]
:8. [[Hover]]
:9. [[Solar]]
:10. [[Torque]]
:11. [[Crunch (Energon)|Crunch]]
:12. [[Spoil]]

Beacon, Lens and Quantum can combine to form the [[Blizzard Saber]].

==Micron Booster Vol.2==
The third Micron Booster set -still part of ''Super Link''- introduced the "chase" toy to the mix; only half of the cases had the "headliner" Mini-Con [[Saber]] in it. As such, a full set of twelve Mini-Cons went for considerably more on the secondary market than an incomplete set of 11 without Saber in it.
[[Image:MBv2-box.jpg|right]]

Vol.2 includes...

:1. [[Saber (Energon)|Saber]]
:2. [[Processor]]
:3. [[Triac]]
:4. [[Effect]]
:5. [[Seeker_(Energon)|Seeker]]
:6. [[Blitz]]
:7. [[Cluster]]
:8. [[Rotor (Energon)|Rotor]]
:9. [[Groove (Energon)|Groove]]
:10. [[Brake]]
:11. [[Damper]]
:12. [[Filter]]

Brake, Damper and Filter can combine to form [[Frenzy (Energon)|Frenzy]].

==Micron Booster Ver.3==
The series continued with a single set in the ''Galaxy Force'' (Japanese ''[[Cybertron_(franchise)|Cybertron]]'') series. Unlike previous assortments, buying a case of twelve did ''not'' guarantee you all eleven of the "common" Mini-Cons. Though it has yet to be confirmed, this is most likely due to the four "partner" Mini-Cons in the assortment who were made in larger numbers than the others, due to being [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with their larger partners, who were part of the normal retail ''Galaxy Force'' line. As such, each case often had multiples of a couple of the "partners", missing some of the others, on top of the one-in-every-two-cases chaser piece [[Bug General]].
[[Image:MBv3-box.jpg|right]]

Ver.3 includes...

:1. [[Bug General]]
:2. [[Bug Drone]]
:3. [[Gauge]]
:4. [[Clamp]]
:5. [[Trigger]]
:6. [[Wrench]]
:7. [[Socket]]
:8. [[Plier]]
:9. [[Bit]]
:10. [[Dice]]
:11. [[Jack (Cybertron)|Jack]]
:12. [[Plug]]

Inferno (G1)

2007-01-24T07:43:00Z

Quickstrike: Added some bits to the Toy section and the TFU link

{{disambig3|Inferno}}

:''Inferno is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1Inferno_collectionbox1.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Will probably start fires just to put them out.]]

'''Inferno''' is one gung-ho robot, ready and willing to roll out into the thick of any action at the drop of a hat. If the mission is search and rescue he's one of the best bots to have around, but he's even happier when called on to fight. Nothing gets Inferno's circuits going like a one-on-one with a few Decepticon trouble makers. During his down time he can generally be found hanging out with [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] and trying his best to keep Red out of trouble.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Walker Edmiston]] (US), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japan)

He has a kind of texan, cowboy accent.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
Inferno had a tendency to die. Repeatedly. He never let this keep him down.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1_Inferno_toy.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Then he'll start the fire again.]]
*'''Inferno''' (Autobot, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-10'''

: Inferno transforms into a japanese firetruck. Each of his forearms contains a spring-loaded missile launcher, so he can fire his own fists or silver missiles. He is usually depicted in media has having a missile in place of his hand on his right arm. He is also armed with a small black rifle.

: In 2002, Inferno was re-released as part of [[Takara]]'s [[Transformers Collection]] series.

: In 2003, he was released by [[Hasbro]] in the Toys "R" Us [[exclusive]] "[[Commemorative Series]]" line.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed and partially [[retooled]] to make the [[Targetmaster]] [[Artfire (G1)|Artfire]], and [[Grapple_(G1)|Grapple]].

*'''Inferno with Hydro-Pack''' (Action Master, 1990)

: A non-transforming action figure with a simplified design, Inferno came with a [[Hydro-Pack]] that could be attached to his back or transformed into a large hand held Laser weapon. He is compatible with all other Action Master weapons and vehicles.

===Generation 2===
*'''Inferno''' (Autobot Heroic, 1993)
: For ''Generation 2'', Inferno's original toy was re-used with virtually no deco changes, adding only the "Autobot" [[tampograph]]. His forearms were retooled to remove the spring-loaded launcher mechanism (the chromed missiles from the original releases were also dropped), but he came with a large red water-shooting cannon that clipped to his ladder.

==Trivia==
[[Image:A35.jpg|left|thumb|Inferno moonlights for easy cash.]]

*Inferno's original toy, slightly modified, was knocked off and used as the titular giant robot in the Korean animated film ''Phoenix King'' (피닉스킹). ''Phoenix King'' was dubbed (horribly) and released in America by Digiview Entertainment as ''[http://www.cyrusfirst.com/guests/digiview/dev/detail.php?p=91 Defenders of Space]'', generally selling for the bargain price of $1.00. Scenes of "Inferno" from this movie were also incorporated into another bargain film distributed by Digiview Entertainment, ''[http://www.cyrusfirst.com/guests/digiview/dev/detail.php?p=201 Space Thunder Kids]''.

*In the late 1990s, a knockoff of G2 Inferno with some yellow parts was sold in discount stores on a card reading "Transformers: Generation 3."

*The earliest pictured version of Action Master Inferno is largely different from the final version, but only upon close examination. The early version errs on the side of the original toy in color and design, while the final more closely follows the design of the animation model. Strangely, the early version has a nearly solid black block of a head (possibly to echo the ladder base in which the original's head was contained), as well as generally wider and chunky proportions.

Jetfire (Armada)

2006-11-29T07:15:09Z

Quickstrike: /* Toys */ Stuff about redecoes

{{Template:Disambig2|the field commander from the Unicron Trilogy|the scientist from Generation 1|Jetfire (G1)}}
{{disambig3|Sky Shadow}}

:''Jetfire is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Jetfireut.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Crikey, ya dingos.]]

'''Jetfire''' is probably the best second-in-command [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] could conceivably have. Jetfire is more than a yes-man, he's the crucial link between Prime's role-necessitated distance and his troops. Though professional and businesslike, Jetfire infuses his interactions with a down-to-earth friendliness. And where Optimus Prime is cautious, Jetfire is more prone to tempered bursts of gusto and bravado. While Optimus Prime is your leader who's your leader, Jetfire is your leader who's your friend. Because of this, Jetfire is very popular among the Autobots.

But most importantly, Jetfire is one of the only Autobots who will tell Optimus Prime to his face when he thinks he's wrong. It is this trait that makes Jetfire indispensible.

Jetfire has a long-lost brother [[Overcast (Energon)|Overcast]], and while the two are quite similar in many ways, Jetfire is ''far'' more willing and eager to jump into battle than Overcast.

He has a [[Decepticon]] alter-ego, '''Sky Shadow''', which he affects when doing undercover missions. He found the name in history archives which referred to a [[Sky Shadow (Cybertron)|Sky Shadow]] from the legendary [[Beast Wars]]. Nobody's really sure how that works. Maybe it's that bloody [[Unicron Singularity]]'s doing.

''Japanese name:'' '''Skyfire''' ''(Energon)'', '''Dreadrock''' ''(Cybertron)''

==Fiction==
===Animated Continuity===
====''Armada''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Scott McNeil]] (USA), [[Susumu Chiba]] (Japan)

Jetfire was one of the reinforcements from [[Cybertron_(planet)|Cybertron]] that Optimus Prime requested. He was quickly installed as second in command, but as everybody who had never served with him discovered, he was very different to Optimus Prime. Where Optimus was cautious and analytical, Jetfire was brash and headstrong to the point of recklessness, jumping into the unknown without considering the consequeces. As a result, in his first major battle with the Decepticons, Jetfire decided to take all of their airforces on by himself, getting him into serious trouble.

Fortunately, Optimus Prime had recovered enough from his injuries to launch a surprise attack on the Decepticons and unleash his secret weapon - the ability to Powerlink with Jetfire, resulting in the powerful Jet Optimus.

Otherwise, Jetfire is quite possibly insane.

====''Energon''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Scott McNeil]] (USA), [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]] (Japan)

====''Cybertron''====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Brian Drummond]] (USA), [[Hideo Ishikawa]] (Japan)
:''Special Attacks:'' Dread Cannon-Burst Attack, Jetstream (Japan)
:''Special Attacks:'' Afterburner Blast, Turbine Wave (USA)

Jetfire is quite possibly Australian.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
====''Armada''====

Jetfire was initially unimpressed with Optimus Prime, feeling that Prime had abandoned the Autobots on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for affairs on Earth. He soon saw eye-to-eye with his commander once more when the stakes of [[Unicron]]'s coming were revealed.

====''Energon''====

==Toys==
===Armada===
[[Image:Armada_Jetfire_toy1.jpg|right|thumb|160px|"Bloody hell! The drongos forgot me stripes!" ]]
*'''Jetfire with Comettor''' (Giga-Con, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MC-09'''

Jetfire is a futuristic space shuttle molded primarily in white and grey with red paint stripes resembling the stripes seen on the original [[Jetfire|G1 Jetfire]]. His Mini-Con [[Comettor]] serves as his front landing gear and forward gun in vehicle mode. When Comettor (or any other Mini-Con) connected to the Powerlinx ports on his wings, a large red missile/bomb is dropped. When connected to Jetfire's main engine, two small wings are deployed for atmospheric flight. In robot mode Jetfire's rear landing gear becomes a shield, and his main engine forms his rifle.
Jetfire also combines with Optimus Prime to form Jet Optimus.

The Japanese release includes a much brighter white plastic, the removal battle wear and heat re-entry burn decos, and a more detailed shield.

This mold was also used to make the [[Transformers Collectors Club]] [[exclusive]] [[Astrotrain (Timelines)|Astrotrain]].

[[Image:PL_Jetfire_toy.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"The flaming mongrels made me blue! I ain't no Ford supporter."]]
*'''Powerlinx Jetfire with Comettor''' (Giga-Con, 2003)
The Powerlinx redeco of Jetfire replaces much of the grey and red with blue, in a colour scheme very similar to the Macross/Robotech Valkyrie fighter jet flown by Maximillian Jenius/Sterling.

===Energon===
[[Image:Energon_Jetfire_toy.jpg|right|thumb|170px|"The nongs made me smaller!"]]
*'''Jetfire''' (Mega, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-05'''

Jetfire transforms again into a white and red futuristic space shuttle, this time in the smaller Mega sizeclass and with the ability to combine with most other Autobot Deluxe and Mega Energon toys. He features an electronic transforming sound effect that activates when another Autobot combines with him.

The Japanese version of this toy does not feature any of the electronics and has a sticker covering the now-absent battery compartment.

This mold was also used to make [[Overcast_(Energon)|Energon Overcast]].

*'''Skyfire and Roadbuster'''
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SS-02'''

This was a Japan-only two-pack of both Jetfire and Ironhide. There are no differences between the toys in this pack and the individually packed japanese versions.

*'''Skyfire Sonic''' (Mega, 2004)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''SC-25'''

This was the japanese release of [[Overcast_(Energon)|Energon Overcast]], though still portrayed as the same character of Skyfire. There are some differences in paint application, but the major difference is the inclusion of an orange Energon Spear, originally belonging [[Skyblast_(Energon)|Skyblast]].

===Cybertron===
[[Image:Cyb_Jetfire_toy.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Function: Beer transporter.]]
*'''Jetfire''' (Ultra class, 2005)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GC-04'''

Jetfire was once again Ultra-sized, but this time transformed into a green cargo plane of unknown origin. The toy features sound effects by pressing the portside aft engine nacelle. Inserting his Cyber Planet Key into his tail assembly in either vehicle or robot mode causes a pair of translucent red cannons to extend, and the compartment they are mounted on to raise. Pressing the portside aft engine now features a different sound effect.

The US version of this toy has a bar between the barrels of the translucent red tail cannons to provide structural integrity. The other differences between the US and Japanese versions are mostly cosmetic.

[[Image:LOC_Jetfire.jpg|right|thumb|175px|Small man, big hat.]]
*'''Jetfire''' (Legends of Cybertron, 2005)

This is a much smaller version of the Ultra-sized toy, with limited articulation and detail. In the US market, LOC Jetfire was primarily sold in drug stores, though could be found in normal retailers in markets outside of the US, such as Australia.

This mold was redecoed to make [[Classics (2006)|Classics]] [[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]]

*'''Jetfire''' (Burger King Kids' Meal toy, 2005)

[[Image:Cyb_Sky_Shadow_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|Aussies don't look good in khaki.]]
*'''Sky Shadow''' (Ultra class, 2006)

This was a tan/gold and black redeco of Cybertron Jetfire, posing as a Decepticon. It uses the same tooling as Cybertron Jetfire, so features the structurally stronger tail cannon. All other functions remain the same.

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==

* Originally when the tailfin of Armada Jetfire's engine/weapon was pressed downward, it activated the original G1 Autobot laser sound effect. Pressing the tailfin upwards (perhaps by placing the shuttle upright as if in launching mode) would activate a rather garbled blast-off countdown sequence. Much like [[Red_Alert_(Armada)|Red Alert's]] 'Woo-woo-woo' sound effect, this briefly became something of an in-joke within the Transformers fan community.

Triceradon (BM)

2006-11-13T03:41:31Z

Quickstrike: Added some links and fixed the ones that went to non-existant pages

{{disambig2|Beast Machines and Universe character|the Autobot in the Wal-Mart Dinobot line|Triceradon (Dinobots)}}

:''Triceradon is a [[Dinobots (BM)|Dinobot]] from the [[Beast Machines]] portion of the [[Generation 1]]/[[Beast Era]] [[continuity family]].''
[[image:triceradonbm.jpg|thumb|right| I'm amiable and friendly, really]]

'''Triceradon''' is not the smartest Dinobot around. Making up for this, however, is his very amiable, truely friendly nature and his titanic strength in battle. Those qualities are what lead [[T-Wrecks]] to make him second-in-command of the Dinobots.

Triceradon's [[technorganic]] hide is tough as iron and his horns can generate paralyzing reverse electro fields. He carries two reactonix grenades in his tail.

=Fiction=
===3H Wreckers Comics===
The Dinobots were sent to an unnamed planet by the [[Oracle]], in order to awaken the "sleeping giant" for a mysterious purpose. However, the mission was a fool's errand, arranged by the [[Quintesson]]s and designed to destroy the Dinobots; the planet was the world where one of their most dangerous creations ever remained a prisoner, the energy-draining [[Trans-Organic]] creature known as the [[Dweller]]. While his fellow teammates went off to search for the sleeping giant, Triceradon remained behind with the shuttle.

Triceradon was one of the few Dinobots who survived the battle. He and the others were later seen hooking up with [[Devcon]] at [[Spaceport CSSB-16]] in order to track down the [[Wreckers]]' betrayer, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]].

=Toys=
===Beast Machines===
*'''Triceradon''' (Deluxe, 2000)

: Triceradon is a [[redeco]] of the [[Beast Wars Neo]] Destron [[Guiledart]]. He transforms into a triceratops, and has a third mode that's supposed to look like a dead, decomposing triceratops. Really. his beast-mode tail detaches to become a spring-loaded missile launcher, plus his dino forelegs have flip-out (non-firing) blasters for robot mode.

: The same mold was used as [[Triceradon (Dinobots)|Triceradon]] for the Wal*Mart [[exclusive]] [[Dinobots (toyline)|Dinobots]] line as well, but since that line sadly lacks any backstory or bios it is unknown what connection, if any, that version has to this one.

:''Lazorbeak iz a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] charactor in the [[Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

A fast flying pirate of the air, the mean menace that is '''Lazorbeak''' satiates his thirst for battle by seeking the one good point [[Maximal]]s have: their melting point! His is aided in this by a powerful laser weapon. Unfortunately, his aggresive usage of this weapon rapidly diminishes his [[energon]] levels, usually limiting Lazorbeak to making only brief aerial attacks before converting back to pteranodon mode.

''(Lazorbeak's tech spec bio has some similarities to [[Generation 1]] [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]'s, leading some to believe he is the same character.)''

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics===

Lazorbeak was one of the [[protoforms]] on [[Earth]] reprogrammed into Predacons by [[Magmatron]]. He was sent to search for [[Razorbeast]] and his team of Maximals from the air by the recently revived [[Ravage]]. When [[Sky Shadow (BW)|Sky Shadow]] discovered the Maximals lair, Lazorbeak was among the Predacons who participated in the battle that ensued. After being beaten by the Maximals and their newly arrived reinforcements, Lazorbeak presumably retreated along with the other Predacons.

: A [[redeco]] and very slight [[retool]]ing (he was given a space for an [[energon chip]]) of the original [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] mold, Lazorbeak transforms from a pterasaur of some probably-made-up kind to a robot with a spring-loaded one-step transformation. His pistol stores in a small recess behind his robot-mode head.

: This mold was also used to make [[Fractyl]], [[Hydra (BWN)|Hydra]], and [[Terranotron (Dinobots)|Terranotron]].

Aero-Bot

2006-11-08T03:24:39Z

Quickstrike: Threw in the TFU link

[[Image:Aerobot_shouting.jpg|right|thumb|197px|"Because ''I'm'' in command of this outfit, ''THAT'S'' why!"]]
'''Aero-Bot''' is the strong and capable leader of the [[Go-Bots (toyline)|Go-Bots]] team. An intelligent and effective leader, he is also highly adaptable and can take on a number of different forms, including various jets and cars, a helicopter, and even a speedboat!

''Japanese Names:'' '''Michael''', '''Kid'''

==Toys==
===Playskool Go-Bots===
* '''Aerobot''' (Big Adventures)
: This blue and white jet was released in 2002, and was the first Go-Bots toy to have electronics. It was also the base mold for every Mega-sized Go-Bot toy that would come later.

* '''Aero-Bot''' (Mega Go-Bot)
: When the "Big Adventures" line was renamed "Go-Bots", the original Aerobot toy was re-released in new packaging with a slight name change. The toys themselves are identical.

* '''Aero-Bot II''' (Deluxe Go-Bot)
: The second [[redeco]] of the original [[Speedbot]] mold, Aero-Bot's second form was a car (?!)

* '''Aero-Bot''' (Ultra Jet)
: Aero-Bot's second jet form was released in 2003. There were some slight color scheme changes, but the biggest change was that the new version came covered in shiny blue chrome.

* '''Aero-Bot''' (Racer)
: The third version of the [[Speed-Bot|Speed-Bot II]]/[[Mirage-Bot]] mold. Aero-Bot's fourth form was also his second ''ground-based'' form.

* '''Aero-Bot''' (Flying Fists)
: Released in 2004, this toy was remolded from the original Aerobot toy, and featured launching fists. It first appeared in the newer green-and-orange Go-Bots packaging, only to show up later in the older yellow packaging.

* '''Aero-Bot''' (Toys R Us)
: A TRU-exclusive toy in chrome blue, recolored from the modified [[Speed-Bot|Invisibility Force Speed-Bot]] (that wouldn't see stores until the next year) and shipped with [[Speed-Bot|TRU Speed-Bot]].

* '''Aero-Bot''' (Ultra Force)
: The only [[Go-Bots (toyline)|Go-Bots]] toy that was never released in ''any'' capacity. This was to be an Ultra-sized toy that turned into a rescue helicopter with working winch. Seen at the UK ToyFair, and in the personal collection of the Go-Bots creator, [[Ed Duncan]].

===Rescue Hero Go-Bots===

* '''Michael''' (Mega Go-Bot)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GO-12'''
: The Japanese version of the first Aerobot toy, released in 2003. In addition to having a Japanese voice chip, he has light blue thighs (where Aerobot's are silver) and orange detailing on his wings.

* '''Ted''' (Basic Go-Bot)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GO-14'''
: The Japanese version of the Aero-Bot II toy, released in 2003. Identical to Aero-Bot II.

Transformers: Classics

2006-11-02T07:19:54Z

Quickstrike: Fixed the Dinobots link (It went to the G1 guys)

{{disambig3|Classics}}
When the [[Transformers (2007)|live-action Transformers film]] was pushed back from November 2006 to July 2007, [[Hasbro]] needed to create a filler line to bridge the newly created gap in their product offerings. That bridge was a revisitation of the original ''[[Generation 1]]'' characters, dubbed '''Classics'''.

Later, [[Mini-Con]]s which were originally meant for the end of the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line and ''Generation 1''-inspired ''Legends'' [[redeco]]es were also added to expand the line further.

Although no original animation or full-length comic fiction is planned for the line, the team behind the Official Transformers Fan Club comic has said that they will be utilizing the Classics in their 2007 story-arc and setting them in a continuation of the old [[Marvel Comic]] universe.

Overcast (Cybertron)

2006-10-31T07:05:24Z

Quickstrike: Fixed the intro (It called him Deepdive)

{{disambig2|the Cybertron-series Mini-Con plane|the Energon-series Autobot shuttle|Overcast (Energon)}}

:''Overcast is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

'''Overcast''' is a member of the [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], a gang of rebels whose main goal in life seems to be to cause trouble for the rest of the planet. He may be allied with the [[Decepticon]] forces on [[Gigantion]].

==Toys==
===Cybertron===
*'''Giant Planet Mini-Con Team''' (Scout-class, 2006)

: Part of the final new-mold Scout set of the ''Cybertron'' line, Overcast transforms into a military cargo plane. He has a pressure-launch missile launcher under each wing, which beomes his robot-mode arms. He was only available with his teammates [[Deepdive]] and [[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]]. Their packaging marks them as Decepticon-allied, though the toys do not have any [[faction symbols]] other than the sculpted Mini-Con sigil.

Adventure Mini-Con Team

2006-10-25T09:02:11Z

Quickstrike: Changed the X-Dimension bit. It was talking about the Emergency team.

[[Image:Bios card adventure.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ain't no mountain high enough...]]

Between its three members, the '''Adventure Mini-Con Team''' can handle any terrain. They dig in deep and plow their way across frozen wilderness, parched deserts or deep swamps to get the job done!

The Adventure Mini-Con Team is composed of

*[[Dune Runner]] the buggy.

*[[Iceberg]] the snow-tracker.

*[[Ransack (Armada)|Ransack]] the pickup truck.

==Toys==
===Armada===
*'''Adventure Mini-Con Team''' (Mini-Cons, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MM-16'''

:The Adventure Team was first released as a three-pack in the ''[[Armada]]'' line. All three molds have a shared gimmick; gear-wheel systems that activate motion features on the toys when pushed along in vehicle mode, plus the ability to connect to the underside of the [[Cyclonus (UT)|Cyclonus]] mold.

:This mold-set was used to make the partner Mini-Cons [[Armorhide (Armada)|Armorhide]], [[Cliffjumper (Armada)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Ironhide (Armada)|Ironhide]]; the [[Micron Booster]] Mini-Cons [[Crunch (UT)|Crunch]], [[Spoil]], and [[Torque]]; and the [[Lunar Assault Mini-Con Team]].

*'''X-Dimension Adventure Micron''' (Mini-Cons, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MM-21'''

:A somewhat more limited-edition -but still regular retail- [[redeco]] of the Adventure Team was released by [[Takara]] as part of the [[X-Dimension Mini-Cons|X-Dimension]] series.

===Energon===
The Adventure Team was given a straight re-release in the ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' series in a six-pack with the [[Sea Mini-Con Team]].

===Unreleased===
A partial redeco of this team had surfaced, changing only the Team's plastic colors, using the same paint masks/colors. It is unknown the exact nature of this set; it is posisble that a late ''Armada'' series redeco was in the works but canned, and that this would have involved a paint scheme change.

Quickstrike: Yay Longrack

{{disambig2|the Cybertron Autobot|the Beast Wars Neo Maximal|Longrack (BWN)}}

:''Longrack is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

With the ongoing battles between the Autobots and [[Decepticons]] and the attacks by the evil [[Unicron]], [[Cybertron]] has suffered a lot of damage over the years. It's '''Longrack''' 's mission to repair this damage. Fixing the planet-wide destruction won't be easy, but Longrack is patient, he'll get it done.

While he prefers building, this doesn't mean he can't put up a fight. He'll take on any Decepticon that tries to interfere with his work and then finish them off with his Crushsteel Punch!

*'''Longrack''' (Deluxe, 2006)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''GS-02'''

:Longrack is a [[retool]] of [[Armada]] [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]] and transforms into an Excavator. He was given a new head and a Cyber Key activated punching action. He came with a silver-bordered Cybertron-style Cyber Key; the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy has the [[Cyber Key Codes|Cyber Key Code]] "'''d48m'''" [[tampograph]]ed on its back. The original Hoist head was later re-used on the mold to make [[Botcon 2006]] [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]].

:For his Japanese release, he was packaged with [[Runamuck (Cybertron)|Runamuck]].

:While the earlier versions of this mold included a Mini-Con partner, neither version of Longrack had one. The Mini-Con partner mold was released in the ''Galaxy Force'' [[Micron Booster]] wave as [[Clamp]].

*Longrack was designed as a tribute to the [[Beast Wars Neo]] character [[Longrack (BWN)|Longrack]].

Quickstrike: Fixed some spelling and added the links to "Armorhide", "redeco" and "moon"

''Scattorbrain is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Cybertron_(franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

'''Scattorbrain''' is less interested in harassing the [[Exploration Mini-Con Team]] than his [[Lunar Assault Mini-Con Team]] companions. Instead, he prefers to spook the human settlers who have come to terraform the Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], slipping in from the endless night side, letting a few outposts barely see him before he vanishes again. He will also attack the occasional outlying settlement and small outpost to keep the humans guessing, worried about when the next attack may come and just what is causing such destruction.

The gearing mechanism in his robot body causes the outer flaps of his plow to swing in and out in vehicle mode when rolled along, or when attached to the gearing of the ''[[Armada]]'' [[Cyclonus_(Armada)|Cyclonus]] toy. He was available only in a two-pack with the [[Autobot]]-allied Mini-Con [[Monocle]].

: Blight shares a mold with his teammate [[Kickback (Energon)|Kickback]], transforming into an anti-aircraft tank similar to a Gepard. He has a clear-blue [[energon chip]] that can attach to most ''Energon''-series toy molds. He can also form the arm or leg to any combination of ''Energon'' combiner team super robot, though his "standard" position (as shown on his cardback) is as the left arm of Bruticus Maximus.

: For his [[Takara]] release, he was only available in a complete 5-pack of the entire team. However, he was released by [[Hasbro]] on an individual [[Powerlinx Battles]] card. There are several small deco differences between the two releases, the largest being that "Swindle" uses a less... virulent-looking yellow as a base color.

{{disambig3|Cliffjumper}}

''Cliffjumper is a [[Mini-Con]] in the [[Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

'''Cliffjumper''' is the kind of girl that would rather read a book than jump over a cliff. Not particularly strong, fast or co-ordinated, she isn't really suited for combat and wishes the war would end so she could get back to her research in Geological Science. Her Partner - the arrogant warrior [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]] - loves to tease Cliffjumper over the irony of her name. When Cheetor was abducted by [[Unicron]], Cliffjumper felt almost relieved that she wouldn't have to put up with him anymore. This just made her feel even more guilty than usual.

She has a working winch mechanism connected to a spool and gear system in her torso; the cable, once pulled out, can be retracted by rolling Cliffjumper in vehicle mode, or by attaching her to the gear system on the Armada [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] mold. She was only available with the [[Autobot]] Cheetor.

: This mold was later redecoed to make [[Torque]] and [[Payload (Cybertron)|Payload]].

Ironhide (Armada)

Quickstrike: Changed the "his" to "her"s in the toy section

{{disambig3|Ironhide}}

''Ironhide is a [[Mini-Con]] from the [[Armada]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]].''

'''Ironhide''' is one sad, needy Mini-Con. She's lost just about everyone she cared about, from Mini-Con friends to her one-time [[Autobot]] partner. When she was captured by the [[Decepticon]] [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]], she gloomily accepted her fate.

But when the chance to free herself from the Decepticon's grip came about, she found herself even ''more'' depressed. Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome, maybe it's just a clinging need for ''any'' kind of stability in her life, even the negative kind. But Ironhide actually has begun to want to ''return'' to Terrorsaur.

The gear-wheel mechanism in her torso makes the barrel of the cannon move back and forth when her vehicle mode is rolled along, or when hooked up to the gear mechanism of the [[Armada]] [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Cyclonus]] mold. She was available only as a partner to [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]].
