'''Ransack''' is best pals with [[Crumplezone (Animated)|Crumplezone]]. Unfortunately, trouble always finds the two.

==Fiction==
===''Animated''===
Crumplezone and Ransack were chased by the [[Transtech (Animated)|Transtech]] cop [[Cheetor (Animated)|Cheetor]], who sought to arrest the two for "moving violations". The two tried to flee, but Cheetor proved a persistent pursuer, and when Crumplezone wound up shooting off a ramp and losing control, Ransack was unfortunate enough to find himself crushed underneath his big buddy at the bottom of the crater his impact had left. Once Cheetor caught up with the duo and proclaimed their arrest, Crumple and Ransack only had one question: "What did we '''do?'''"

Thanks to his needless chase of innocent Transformers and other impulsive actions, Cheetor was demoted to [[Iacon Central]]. {{storylink|Moving Violations}}

==Notes==

*Ransack is, of course, based on [[Ransack (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'' Ransack]]. He shares a body-type with [[Rattletrap]], who was based on the [[BotCon 2005]]-exclusive [[Rattrap]] figure, which was in turn a redeco of ''Cybertron'' Ransack. Round and round the homage goes!
* He also shares a body-type with [[Stampy (Animated)|Stampy]]. There's no underlying toy-mold logic behind this, it just fits is all.
*''Cybertron'' Ransack has black markings around his eyes that evoke a domino mask. ''Animated'' Ransack actually just wears a domino mask!

There's nothing '''Cheetor''' loves more than chasing down [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] at incredibly high speeds. However, when caught up in the thrill of the chase, he tends to ignore his surroundings; street signs, traffic, and any unfortunate [[Autobot]] who gets in his way are bound to be ran right over! Because of this, the precinct tends to keep rotating Cheetor from partner to partner; no 'bots in their right minds would want this turbo-revving young punk on their backs!

He's presumably popular at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], since the bar has a picture of him on its menu.

==Notes==

[[Image:Animated cheetor by forster.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Me-''YOWW!'']]

* Cheetor is a veritable hoop of homages! Obviously, he's based on ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Cheetor (BW)| Cheetor]], who was going to be an upgraded version of the original [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. However, after [[Transtech]] was scrapped by [[Hasbro]], [[Fun Publications]] utilized those designs for an otherwise-unrelated ''[[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]]'' storyline featuring a [[Cheetor (TransTech)|DIFFERENT Cheetor]]. In the meantime, Transtech Cheetor's design was an inspiration for [[Blurr (Animated)|Animated Blurr]], who Animated Cheetor is a retool of. Finally, his colors are based on the ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' version of Cheetor. Phew!

* Not unlike [[Chromia (Animated)|Chromia]], Cheetor first materialized in multiple different, unrelated sources almost simultaneously, by sheer coincidence. In the last week of June 2010, Fun Publications announced at [[BotCon 2010]] their intention to release a Cheetor figure that would be a repaint of ''Animated'' Blurr. Mere days later, ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' was released, containing an illustration of Cheetor that [[Bill Forster]] had created independently of Fun Publications' figure, which was ''also'' based on Blurr. As Forster's illustration was merely of Cheetor's head, it is basically a "repaint" of Blurr's own noggin so the connection would be recognizable, with two "ear" protrusions instead of Blurr's central fin, cheetah spots, and cat-like "face paint" based on KISS drummer Peter Criss's stage make-up. ''Fun Publications'''s version of Cheetor, on the other hand, received an entirely new head designed by [[Derrick J. Wyatt]].

:''Wasp is an [[Autobot]]-turned-[[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]]''

[[Image:WaspAnimated-botmodel.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Wasp and Bee. Obvious, with hindsight.]]

'''Wasp''' is a lot like [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]... physically, at least. Built from the same chassis and sharing many of the same specifications and subroutines, the two Autobots attended boot camp together. Wasp's pompous, smarmy personality leaves something to be desired, but he had a lot going for him as a soldier, being highly skilled in the use of his stingers and knowing just how to toe the line with the drill sergeant. In a better life, he might have been [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] commander material.

''Might'' have.

These days, though, Wasp is a broken bot, mentally unstable and on the run from the Autobots who have branded him a traitor. And, thanks to [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]'s experimentation, he's been reformatted into '''Waspinator''', a high-powered, techno-organic monstrosity. What little remains of his mind is focused on just one goal... destroying Bumblebee, the bot who ruined his life!

{{bigquote|You were always mean to me and Bumblebee. You may not be a traitor... but you were ''never'' a good bot.|[[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] tells Wasp off|"[[Where Is Thy Sting?]]"}}

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Tom Kenny]] (English), [[Kenji Nojima]]/[[Kensō Katō]] (Japanese, Wasp/Waspinator, respectively), [[Jaron Löwenberg]] (German), [[Andrea de Nisco]] (Italian), [[Rodrigo Contreras]] (Latin American Spanish)

[[Image:WaspAutobot.jpg|left|thumb|150px|This can't end well.]]

Wasp was a cadet in the same group as Bumblebee, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] and [[Shockwave (Animated)|Longarm]]. Right away, Wasp took a dislike to Bumblebee, insulting him out of the blue as the yellow bot mused to himself about his future in the Elite Guard. He also dubbed Bulkhead a "[[Mudflap (slang)|mudflap]]", much to the amusement of his fellow cadets. The loud-mouthed drill sergeant [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Minor]] took an immediate liking to "Wasp", as he dubbed him due to being impressed with his accuracy with his stingers - it was Bumblebee "bumbling" in trying to compete with this that led to his own name being assigned. Wasp and Ironhide quickly became close friends, often competing in little tests of strength, usually involving Wasp hitting or stinging Ironhide while the latter was in armor mode.

After Bumblebee "bumbled" several more times, leading to many [[transform-up]]s for the whole group, Wasp and Ironhide decided to take matters into their own hands, unscrewing Bumblebee's lower legs and leaving them out of reach even before they dumped the rest of him in a locker.

Unbeknown to Wasp, however, the reason for Bumblebee's foul-ups was that he was trying to out a traitor in the group—and had pegged Wasp as the likely culprit after seeing him walk out of a hangar in which someone had contacted [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. (Plus, let's face it, he was a complete jerk. And Decepticons are jerks, [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|right?]]) At Longarm's prompting, Bumblebee eventually found evidence incriminating Wasp as a spy. Wasp was stripped of his Autobot insignia and wheeled away, protesting his innocence and swearing revenge on Bumblebee.

[[Image:WaspAnimated2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Wasp was once a 'Bot...]]

Many years later, Wasp escaped from Autobot custody and apparently eluded the now-Sentinel Prime by jumping through a [[space bridge]]. What was left of Wasp hid beneath the bridge as Sentinel left, [[Waspinator (BW)|buzzing and twittering to himself]], still swearing revenge on "Bumblebot". In reality, however, the innocent bot—broken mentally by his years of imprisonment—had been set up with evidence planted by "Longarm", who had also arranged Wasp's "escape" to divert suspicion from himself. {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

Needless to say, when the truth was revealed to Bumblebee by his old "friend", Longarm Prime (aka the Decepticon Shockwave), he took it pretty hard. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

[[Image:WhereIsThySting-Bumblebeecreepilydefeated.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Bee-st Wars!]]

Wasp headed straight for the Autobots' base on Earth, with Sentinel Prime and [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] in pursuit. Waiting until Bumblebee was left alone on monitor duty (and actually playing ''[[Ninja Gladiator]]'' instead), he struck during a power outage, knocking Bumblebee cold and switching color schemes, helmets and even speech synthesizers with his rival. When Bumblebee came to, the others had returned and had him prisoner, with the disguised Wasp at their side. Despite Bumblebee's muffled cries, the Autobots fell for Wasp's ruse, forcing Bumblebee to flee into the night. Wasp stayed behind as the others tracked Bumblebee down, allowing him to try beating Bumblebee's video game and to search through Bumblebee's personal files.

When the others returned, joined by Sentinel, Jazz, [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]], Wasp was able to recount several of Bumblebee's adventures which were logged in his files to keep the Autobots confused as to which bot was which. Unfortunately for Wasp, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] proposed the two battle against each other in in ''Ninja Gladiator'', so that Bumblebee's video game skills would be readily apparent and the traitor revealed. Before their video game could begin, Wasp panicked and attacked Bumblebee, holding him hostage so he could make his escape. Wasp left Bumblebee with one final indignity, turning off the [[electronic paint job]] he'd installed in Bee and stealing his helmet back... tricking Bulkhead into pummeling the real Bumblebee while Wasp fled. {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}}

The Autobots continued to pursue an erratic Wasp, though for different reasons: Sentinel Prime was still commanding the Elite Guard to bring him in on suspicion of treason, while Optimus and Bumblebee just wanted to help him (or at least keep him from damaging himself and bystanders during his crazed flight). In the midst of a pursuit through the streets of Detroit, Bumblebee tried once again to convince Wasp that he was now known to be innocent and was set up by Longarm, but Wasp refused to listen. During the chase, Wasp was suddenly abducted by [[Swoop (Animated)|Swoop]], who carried him to [[Dinobot Island (Animated)|Dinobot Island]].

[[Image:PredaconsRising_Waspinator.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Waspinator's back...and he's tired of being comic relief.]]

Wasp soon found himself in [[Meltdown (Animated)|Meltdown]]'s old underground lab going ga-ga over [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]]. The spiderbot used her feminine wiles and familiar-sounding sob stories of Autobot betrayal to win Wasp's trust, and she convinced him to undergo an organic power augmentation procedure by impressing him with the ferocity of her own beast mode (while shielding him from seeing the disfigured mutant corpses left behind from her prior experiments). Wasp entered one [[transwarp]] chamber, a real organic wasp was put into another, and out came... Waspinator, three times larger than before, with more powerful energy "stings" and a deeper, heavily processed, voice.

When he was finally tracked down by Bumblebee, who apologized to him, he decided that while "Wasp" forgave his former accuser, "Waspinator" preferred violent revenge. But before Waspinator could deliver the final blow, he overheard Blackarachnia admitting to the Autobots that she only viewed her new "friend" as another experimental attempt to cure her own organic infection. Irate at yet another betrayal, Waspinator started attacking everybody—and if that wasn't scary enough, his transwarp energy became unstable. Just as Waspinator reached critical mass, Blackarachnia sealed them both within a cocoon of her energy webbing, containing the explosion of transwarp energy.

[[Image:TFAni Predacons Rising Waspinator Hazz Planzzz.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Some assembly required.]]

While only a crater was left on Dinobot Island, Waspinator and Blackarachnia were teleported by the transwarp energy to an unknown jungle. Although reduced to pieces by the explosion, Waspinator was still functional, and slowly began putting himself back together. After all, he couldn't go offline yet... because "Wazzzpinator hazz planzzz!" {{storylink|Predacons Rising}}

*'''Waspinator''' (Deluxe class, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TA-37'''

: Part of the sixth wave of ''Animated'' Deluxe-class toys, Waspinator transforms from a techno-organic wasp into a techno-organic, four-armed, winged robot. In both modes, a lever on the thorax flaps his wings back and forth.

:His antennae are made of softer rubber, to allow them to be wedged within his insect head, as well as [[for safety reasons]].

*'''Fugitive Waspinator''' (Deluxe, 2010?)
**''Accessories'': Detachable twin boosters
[[Image:AnimatedFugitiveWaspinator.jpg|thumb|Because nobody would buy "Forcefully Paint-Altered Bumblebee".]]

: "Fugitive Waspinator", apparently named such because of [[Trademark]] issues with the name "Wasp", represents Wasp before he became a freak mutant. He is a simple [[redeco]] of [[Bumblebee (Animated)#Deluxe|Deluxe class Bumblebee]], transforming into a green sub-compact hatchback. The two halves of his stinger weapon, stored in his forearms, can be flipped out and pegged together (presumably, this mold uses the corrected version that allows them to fully retract into his forearms). In both robot and car mode, his two booster rockets can be attached on his back. In addition, although not shown in the cartoon, both Waspinator's windows and headlights are tinted purple in order to give him a more Beast Wars-like appearance while retaining his original vehicle form.

: Fugitive Waspinator is a Decepticon. At the point in the cartoon when Wasp had this alternate mode he was actually unaligned.

: At his reveal at [[BotCon 2009]], [[Hasbro]] explained that "...either [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] got a new head, or Wasp did." They went with the former.

{{canceledtoy}}

==Notes==
*A wasp and a bee, sharing the same mold? [[Waspinator (BW)|How]] [[Buzz Saw|preposterous]]!

*The small, vestigial arms present on the Deluxe Waspinator toy's robot mode torso have their origin in an early design concept for [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]]; the bounty hunter robot's character model was subsequently altered to make his appearance less monstrous, but [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] loved the concept of the vestigial arms enough to incorporate them instead into Waspinator's design.<ref>[http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2008/05/evolution-of-lockdown.html The Evolution of Lockdown ] and [http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2008/10/tfa-s3-chin-on.html TFA S3: CHIN ON!]</ref>

*The signature quote given to Waspinator on his toy packaging is "Waspinator rules!", one of several iconic catchphrases associated with the original ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' incarnation of Waspinator. He uttered it in "[[A Better Mousetrap]]" and "[[Maximal, No More]]".

* Derrick Wyatt states on his blog that this incarnation of Waspinator is inspired by his ''Beast Wars'' counterpart, but made more monstrous and buglike. Wyatt examined photographs of actual wasps, nature shows like "Life in the Undergrowth" and monster movies for inspiration. The FX studio, Audio Circus, added insectoid clicks and other background sounds for the character.<ref>[http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/2009/04/oh-canada-here-i-come.html Oh Canada, here I come!]</ref>

* In technorganic mode, Wasp is capable of firing energy blasts from his vestigial arms. This is possibly the mutated version of his original stinger attack, similar to Elita-1/Blackarachnia retaining her downloading power.

* Wasp is the only character to have shown three different bodies throughout the show (Cybertronian race car, green version of Bumblebee's car mode, and giant wasp).

[[Image:Animated chromia headshot.jpg|right|thumb|200px|]]

Not much is known about '''Chromia''', beyond the fact that she has a good number in the "Bomb" characteristic and that she sometimes looks like a blue [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]. We suppose she must like a drink now and then, since [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] features her picture on its menu.

Chromia was among the shocked bystanders who observed the destructive outcome of [[Cheetor (Animated)|Cheetor]]'s high-speed chase after [[Ransack (Animated)|Ransack]] and [[Crumplezone (Animated)|Crumplezone]]. {{storylink|Moving Violations}}

* '''Chromia'''
** ''Card number'': '''A-007'''

: Part of the ''[[Transformers Cards]]'' series used in the ''[[Transformers Animated: The Chase]]'' and ''[[Transformers Animated: The Shooting]]'' arcade card-reading games, Chromia is rendered as a blue-and-white version of [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]]. There are three versions of the Chromia card so far: the initial card has a Photoshopped image of the [[Arcee (Animated)#Toys|Arcee toy]], but versions 2.0 and 3.0 use the in-game graphics of the character with different backgrounds. The cards were available in packs of 5.

==Notes==
* In a fun coincidence, Chromia appeared on both sides of the Pacific around the same time. The "Transformers Cards" were released at about the same time as the ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II]]'', which features a headshot of Chromia (seen above) based on her [[Chromia (G1)|Generation 1 namesake]], appearing on the Maccadam's Old Oil House menu. Her two designs were hybridized for her appearance in "Moving Violations", which used the ''Transformers Cards'' design but replaced its pink face with the blue-hued look from the Almanac.
* Chromia's cards in the third edition of ''The Chase'' and ''The Shooting'' indicate that [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] is an ideal partner for her in the cooperative 2-player arcade games. Bulkhead happens to be named [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] in Japan. Aheh.

==Notes==
===Transformers references===
* [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] designed Cheetor with hexagonal spots to emulate the original [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] without looking overly organic, but the finished toy gives his vehicle mode a full-on organic-look cheetah spot pattern. If you look ''reeeal'' close, you'll spot the reason for the spots in this comic: when Pipes tumbles from his perch, he splatters black paint all over vehicle-mode Cheetor!
* Ramhorn, Volks and Chase were all designed for inclusion in the ''Animated'' cartoon, but didn't make it into any of its numerous crowd scenes. Troop and Sepelak seem to have gone out of their way to include them here in order to give them their only fictional appearances outside of ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]''.
*Chromia's appearance hybridizes the two distinct designs she was simultaneously given by separate sources, by placing her [[Chromia (G1)|Generation 1-inspired]] head (from ''Almanac II'') on a blue [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee-styled]] body (from the Japanese ''[[Transformers Cards]]'' game).
* The Wanted posters back at the station show [[Wasp]] and [[Mudflap (Animated)|Mudflap]], the latter being a new character based on the ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Mudflap (Cybertron)|incarnation of the character]].
* ''Animated'' versions of [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] and [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]], two of Sepelak's favorite characters, appear in the police station. The duo's Generation 1 counterparts were previously seen together in the Sepelak-and-Troop penned "[[Gone Too Far]]", where they were interrogated by [[Stungun (TransTech)|Stungun]], an ''Animated'' version of whom appears to do the same thing here.

===Real-world references===
*TBA

===Trivia===
*The various signs and posters written in [[Cybertronian languages|Ancient Autobot]]:
**Pipes and Huffer's sign is for "Motormaster's Stunt Convoy" with the starburst on the poster noting that it is "Live" (a lead-in to the plot of the upcoming [[BotCon 2011]] comic)
**The ramp Crumplezone flies off of is marked "Hazard"
**The (upside-down and busted-open) crates are labelled "Fragile"
**The wanted posters just say "Wanted" (duh) and list Wasp and Mudflap's names
**Depth Charge's door nameplate reads "Chief"
**The order Depth Charge shows Cheetor says "Transfer"

'''Ransack''' is best pals with [[Crumplezone (Animated)|Crumplezone]]. Unfortunately, trouble always finds the two.

==Fiction==
===''Animated''===
Crumplezone and Ransack were chased by the [[Transtech (Animated)|Transtech]] cop [[Cheetor (Animated)|Cheetor]], who sought to arrest the two for "moving violations". The two tried to flee, but Cheetor proved a persistent pursuer and the two fell into a pothole. Once Cheetor caught up with the duo and proclaimed their arrest, Crumple and Ransack only had one question: "What did we '''do?'''"

Thanks to his needless chase of innocent Transformers and other impulsive actions, Cheetor was demoted to [[Iacon Central]]. {{storylink|Moving Violations}}

==Notes==

*Ransack is, of course, based on [[Ransack (Cybertron)|''Cybertron'' Ransack]]. He shares a body-type with [[Rattletrap]], who was based on the [[BotCon 2005]]-exclusive [[Rattrap]] figure, which was in turn a redeco of ''Cybertron'' Ransack. Round and round the homage goes!
* He also shares a body-type with [[Stampy (Animated)|Stampy]]. There's no underlying toy-mold logic behind this, it just fits is all.
*''Cybertron'' Ransack has black markings around his eyes that evoke a domino mask. ''Animated'' Ransack actually just wears a domino mask!

Rock Lord

Rachet6: /* Animated cartoon */

:''The Rock Lords are are an alien species from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:TheCool11RockLord.jpg|thumb|right|250px|]]
In uncharted regions of the universe, creatures from [[Quartex (region)|Quartex]] sleep undisturbed by light or civilization. Though their dormant state may resemble common asteroids, this camouflage conceals their true ferocity. Feared by robots, their appetite for metal is matched only by their ferocious strength in battle. They are legend. They are... the '''Rock Lords'''!

==Fiction==
===''Animated'' cartoon===
[[Image:Anim_Rock_Lord.png|left|thumb|200px|]]
After untold aeons of peaceful slumber, a cluster of Rock Lords was abruptly awakened by [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|an unexpected, light-emitting intruder in their midst]]. No sooner did they swarm over the massive alien than it vanished. Still, the disturbance was not a complete disappointment: a moment later, a [[Bumblebee (Animated)|small but tasty-looking... ''thing'']] appeared in the intruder's place, and was quickly devoured by the nearest Rock Lord.

Sated, the devourer prepared to return to sleep, but was disturbed to find itself suddenly alone [[Earth|in an alien, gravity-bound environment]]. Even worse, light now constantly poured down on it from [[Sun|some new, horrible menace]]. Destroying everything in its path, it might have found an escape from this terrible place if it weren't for [[Sari Sumdac|a tiny, irritatingly quick assailant]] that shattered the Rock Lord into hundreds of pieces. The three smaller Rock Lords that regenerated from its shattered body hardly stood a chance. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

==Notes==
* The Rock Lords are an homage to the [[Tonka GoBots]]' spinoff toyline the [[wikipedia:Rock Lords|Rock Lords]] (tagline: ''Powerful Living Rocks!''), which appeared in ''[[wikipedia:GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords|GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords]]'' and came from the planet Quartex.

* The [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|''AllSpark Almanac II'']] [[retcon|retconned]] in that the GoBots ''were'' their universe's Transformers, with [[Gobotron]] as a form of [[Primus]]. This would presumably make ''these'' Rock Lords ''those'' Rock Lords as well! Hasbro franchise [[Robotix]] (also retconned into being versions of Transformers) also had transforming rock creatures, but it's not yet been said if they are also Rock Lords. (I bet they are!)

The '''''Millennium Falcon''''' is the ship of the smuggler [[Han Solo]] and his [[alien]] First Mate [[Chewbacca]]. The [[Starships|ship]] itself is a [[combiner]] of sorts, as it can split into two mechs resembling its crew.

==Fiction==
===''Star Wars Transformers''===
Shortly after making their famed completion of the Kessel Run in just under twelve [[Units of time|parsecs]], Chewbacca and Solo were set upon by an Imperial Star Destroyer. Refusing to give up without a fight, the two revealed the ''Millennium Falcon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "new modification technology": the ability to split into two heavily armed attack robots. Chewbacca and Solo attacked their enemies with a barrage of missiles, showing them the speed and power of the ''Millennium Falcon''.<ref>''Star Wars Transformers'' ''Millennium Falcon'' / Han Solo & Chewbacca packaging.</ref>

Reveal the Shield

2010-12-24T18:35:50Z

Rachet6:

{{nav-RTS}}

'''Reveal the Shield''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line]] that began in November [[2010]]. As a toy line with loosely defined fiction [[continuity]], it's both a continuation of the ''[[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' segment of the 2010 ''Transformers'' line (which itself was a continuation of the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toy line) and one of the spiritual successors of the 2006 ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

Supposedly, the main reason for this is Hasbro's desire to get out as much "Classic"-related product as possible, so the decision which line specific toys are released in seems arbitrary.

The main difference between ''Reveal the Shield'' and ''Generations'', aside from the packaging, is the former's use of [[rubsign]]s (last seen in ''Classics''), which reveal the [[character]]'s true allegiance, much like the original [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] toys.

'''Reveal the Shield''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line]] that began in November [[2010]]. As a toy line with loosely defined fiction [[continuity]], it's both a continuation of the ''[[Hunt for the Decepticons]]'' segment of the 2010 ''Transformers'' line (which itself was a continuation of the ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toy line) and one of the spiritual successors of the 2006 ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

'''This is what happens when you leave Bulkhead in charge.'''

==Synopsis==
The three kids and their Autobot guardians head back to [[Autobot Central Command|the Autobot base]], where [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] is being attacked by a piece of animated equipment. [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] deals with it, but now suspects that both it and [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]] were animated by [[Dark Energon]].

Megatron, now powered up by the Dark Energon, has decided his next move and leaves the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Decepticon ship]] in [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s hands. Starscream thinks Megatron's gone a bit loopy, and orders [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] to increase surveillance.

Optimus has realized Megatron's plan to create an undead army. As the rest of the Autobots arrive, Optimus announces he's going on a mission with Ratchet, who doesn't take kindly to [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]]'s suggestion he may be a little rusty. Leaving Arcee in charge, the pair [[ground bridge|bridge]] out. Arcee immediately puts [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] in charge and goes out on patrol with [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]. [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] attempts to organize an impromptu band practice, but while she's belting out an electric guitar solo, the proximity alert goes off. The kids hide behind Bulkhead as [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] walks in to complain about the energon mine explosion. Unfortunately Miko's guitar gives them away, and Fowler announces he's taking them into federal custody, but Bulkhead puts his foot down, and Fowler storms out.

In a remote region, Prime explains to Ratchet that they're looking for the remains of an old Transformer battlefield, from the period in the war when energon started being hidden on other planets.

As Fowler flies from the Autobot base in his copter, he radios in a report, which is intercepted by Soundwave. Starscream orders Fowler captured, so Soundwave sends a drone. The drone catches up with Fowler, who engages in some deft maneuvers to try and avoid it, and even gets some shots off before it slices the tail off his copter and abducts him.

Fowler's distress call is picked up at the Autobot base. Though Bulkhead is reluctant to help, the others point out Fowler knows the location of the base. [[Rafael Esquivel|Raf]] sets about hacking into a federal computer so they can locate Fowler. Bulkhead leaves [[Jack Darby|Jack]] in charge and heads out. Bulkhead finds himself near the Decepticon ship, but is surprised when Miko pops up next to him. After dealing with a Decepticon sentry, he contacts Arcee. Back at base, Jack and Raf have realized Miko is gone, and use the ground bridge to follow. Unfortunately this leaves the base unmanned when Arcee rings in to get use of the ground bridge. Jack and Raf arrive at Bulkhead's location, and immediately manage to attract the attention of the Decepticon drones on guard.

Starscream interrogates Fowler without much success, so he resorts to getting out the energon prod.

Meanwhile, Optimus and Ratchet reach the Transformer graveyard they've been searching for. Unfortunately so does Megatron, who uses a chunk of Dark Energon to raise an army of [[zombie]]s.

===Animation or technical errors===
===Continuity errors===

===Transformers references===

* Bulkhead has a compartment similar to his ''Animated'' [[Bulkhead (Animated)|incarnation]], but higher up on his chest.
* When Soundwave deploys his Mini-con, the method is more simillar to the [[Breastforce]] rather than the previously known method.
* Soundwave's drone resembles [[Ratbat]].
* The concepts of the Transformers seeding energon on Earth and having had wars there in the distant past before have turned up in recent fiction, [[IDW]]'s comics and ''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]''. The latter was also in [[Ladybird Books|an 80s Ladybird Book]], "[[Galvatron's Air Attack]]".

===Foreign dubbing===

===Real-world references===

===Trivia===
* This episode tries to resolve some of the continuity issues with Dark Energon the previous episode causes. Both Optimus and Ratchet know of its existence and even the rumor that it brings the dead back to life. Supplies of it were just so scarce as to be non-existent, hence their inexperience with it.
* In an amusing show of cultural differences, Bulkhead tries to order Miko to look away before tearing out an Eradicon's internals (presumably to spare her the sight of the carnage). Miko sees no problem with it, only seeing a hunk of metal and a bunch of wires.
* No, really, Bulkhead was going to leave Fowler in Decepticon hands because he didn't like him. What a jerk!
* Twelve-year-old Raf can hack into the United States goverment and track down federal agents. What national security?
* Check out where Starscream sticks Fowler with the energon prod. Ouch! Forms sort of an amusing callback to Bulkhead's earlier comment about him...

}}

==Synopsis==
[[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] imagines in dread what will happen if [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] uses the [[Dark Energon]] to raise an army of [[zombie]]s on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and uses them to conquer [[Earth]].

[[Jack Darby|Jack]] arrives at [[KO Burger]], and encounters [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]], who says she's already lost one friend recently. The Autobots have pinpointed Megatron's [[space bridge]] in Earth orbit and must use the [[ground bridge]] to reach it, despite the risks this poses. Arcee and Jack arrive back in time for Arcee to join the mission, and Optimus leads the team (minus [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]]) through the bridge. They land up on the space bridge terminal and look up to see the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Decepticon ship]] moving into position. Megatron observes their presence, but [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] says that [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] is locking on to Cybertron's coordinates.

Optimus notes that ship is damaged, and the Decepticons will be unable to use it to aim the space bridge. Raf reasons that the Decepticons may be using a radio dish array in [[Texas]], but Fowler is still too out of it to alert the array staff of the danger. [[Rafael Esquivel|Raf]] attempts to hack in, but the array's firewalls are too good. Jack thinks they should go on site, and they talk Optimus into letting them do it.

Meanwhile Megatron sends out the Decepticon forces to attack the Autobots. Battle commences.

The kids ground bridge to the array and sneak in. In a small unused room, Raf finds a computer and determines that the Decepticons have also hacked in, but takes the opportunity to download their space bridge plans onto his flash drive. Little do the kids know that [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] is in the very next room, plugged into the computer system as well. He aligns the array, which sets the space bridge ready to use, but Raf promptly realigns it. Responding to Starscream's requests to know what's going on, Soundwave taps into the installation's security systems and locates the three kids. While the kids are discussing what the Decepticons could do, Soundwave's tentacle slithers into the room behind them and attacks. As it goes after Raf, [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] grabs an axe and strikes at it. She completely misses, and the tentacle strikes her backward before picking up the axe itself. Though the kids believe it's about to attack them with the weapon, the tentacle withdraws. The kids run to the next room, where they found Soundwave has realigned the dishes and used the axe to cut the hard line, making it impossible to realign the dishes again. Miko then takes a photo on her phone of Soundwave. Before Soundwave leaves, he takes a photo of them.

Starscream activates the space bridge and Megatron physically throws a huge chunk of Dark Energon through. The Dark Energon strikes Cybertron, swiftly covering the planet and turning millions of dead Transformers into millions of [[zombie]]s. Optimus realizes that the only course of action left to them is to destroy the space bridge. Raf supplies the specs he downloaded earlier, and Ratchet sets about working out a way to do so. As Optimus faces Megatron, Bulkhead, Arcee and Bumblebee go to implement some sabotage.

Megatron manages to defeat Prime, but as he raises his sword, Starscream alerts him to the actions of the other Autobots. Optimus takes advantage of the distraction to blast Megatron, but the Decepticon leader transforms and flies off to find the other Autobots. Arcee's team has succeeded in rigging the space bridge to blow when Megatron attacks and blasts Arcee off into space. The Autobots jump into the ground bridge, Bumblebee collecting Arcee on the way. Megatron realizes his ship appears to be absent, but before his army of zombies can come through, the space bridge explodes in his face.

A short distance away in the ship, Starscream notes that there's totally no way Megatron could have survived that, and he is leader now.

The Autobots make it back to their base, though Arcee's in a bad way. Optimus announces that there's totally no way Megatron could have survived the space bridge explosion. Fowler thanks the Autobots for saving him, and leaves. Optimus gives a big speech, and sends a signal into space to let the galaxy know that Earth is defended by the Autobots.

==Quotes==
"Optimus, if you leave me stranded on a planet teeming with humans, I will never forgive you."
:—'''Ratchet'''

"Optimus Prime never disappoints. Unlike YOU, Starscream!"
:—'''Megatron'''

"Surely, Lord Megatron, the Autobots are up to something." 
"Really, Starscream?"
:—'''Starscream''' observes the Autobots and '''Megatron''' lays on the sarcasm.

"I hold no illusions about engaging your army, Megatron. But I might derail its objective... [[Decapitation|by removing its head.]]"
:—'''Optimus Prime's''' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|solution to most problems]].

"Starscream! Where is my ship?" 
"We would never make it, Lord Megatron! Don't be a fool! Take flight and retreat!"
:—'''Starscream''' fruitlessly tries to get '''Megatron''' to flee the detonating space bridge.

"Decepticons, it is with deep sorrow that I note for the log... Megatron's spark has been extinguished. All hail Starscream."
:—Looks like '''Starscream''' is back to his old self again.

==Notes==
===Animation or technical errors===
===Continuity errors===
* The zombies are able to leave Cybertron and pass through the space bridge despite the fact that it's in space. Even accounting for the fact that Decepticon corpses might have flight capabilities, it seems unlikely that every zombie would.

===Astronomical errors===
* The Autobots somehow jump from the detonating space bridge straight into the waiting ground bridge vortex, which is positioned below the space bridge, even though there ''is no gravity in space!''

===Transformers references===
* There are two references which are directly related to [[The Transformers: The Movie|the 1986 animated movie]]. First Ratchet says, "Then by all means, let us light our [[darkest hour]]." Later, Optimus exchanges with Megatron: "One shall stand, one shall fall."
* Megatrons have been known to survive space bridge [[Transport to Oblivion|accidents]] and [[A Bridge Too Close, Part II|malfunctions]] and even [[Gone but Not Forgotten!|space bridge-related suicide attempts]]. Same goes for [[Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2|ginormous explosions where he stood at Ground Zero]]. Hope Starscream and Optimus don't expect to relax.
* Optimus's Energon blade and Megatron's hidden fusion cannon blade are references to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)| their movie]] [[Megatron (Movie)| counterparts]]
* Optimus' speech at the end is similar to the ones Movie Optimus gives at the end of both movies.

===Foreign dubbing===

===Real-world references===
* Miko tries to use an axe on [[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]]'s tentacle, which is the same tactic Tom Cruise's character tries on the Tripod tentacle in [[Steven Spielberg]]'s ''War of the Worlds''.

* Miko refers to space as "The final frontier". "Space. The final frontier" is the first line of the opening credits of several ''[[Wikipedia: Star Trek|Star Trek]]'' TV shows. ''Prime'' show developers [[Alex Kurtzman]] and [[Roberto Orci]] are also the screenwriters of the current ''Star Trek'' movies.

===Trivia===
* Winged versions of the Eradicons make their appearance here.
* The Decepticons are unable to simply warp to Cybertron thanks to Bulkhead ripping off a vital piece of equipment in the previous episode.
* While it's unlikely anything from ''[[Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron|Exodus]]'' applies to the cartoon, a number of Autobots including [[Ultra Magnus (Prime)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Omega Supreme (Prime)|Omega Supreme]] and the [[Wrecker]]s were left behind on Cybertron at the end of that book. Sure hope they weren't around when the zombies came crawling. In a similar vein, [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]] is also still on Cybertron at the end of the novel. Given the established fact that the war had continued on other worlds after Cybertron's shutdown, though (as stated by [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]] in the [[Transformers: Prime (comic)|prequel comic]]), it's probable that all of them have since moved on to less hostile locales in the intervening years.
* When Starscream tries to convince Megatron to retreat, there is a surprising tone of concern in his voice. Either that, or he's a much better actor than certain other [[Starscream (Animated)| Starscreams]].
* It ''seems'' to take a lot longer for the zombie army to come from Cybertron across the space bridge than it took for the Dark Energon to get there in the first place. [[Wikipedia:Doomsday (Doctor Who)|Must've been the sheer mass of all of them]].
* A short video showing a rehearsal or an earlier take of the confrontation between Optimus Prime and Megatron was screened at both [[BotCon 2010]] and San Diego Comic-Con 2010 <ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvW4nsr3ZDo#t=2m53s "Transformers: Prime" panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2010]</ref>. The dialogue was somewhat different, with Optimus referring to battle on an alien world when ordering the Autobots away, and lacking the "One shall stand, one shall fall" exchange.

'''While Optimus and Ratchet battle Megatron's zombie horde, the others attempt to rescue Agent Fowler.'''

==Synopsis==
As [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s army of [[Dark Energon]]-powered [[zombie]]s march, [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] are horrified at the desecration. The Dark Energon flowing through Megatron gives him control over this new army, and he directs them to destroy the two Autobots. When the zombies keep getting up as fast as Optimus can blast them down, Ratchet discovers that dismemberment is a more effective way of dealing with them.

[[Image:darkrising4_botgroup.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Pretty sure war zones don't count for bring your daughter to work day Bulky.]]

At the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Decepticon ship]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] rescues [[Jack Darby|Jack]] and [[Rafael Esquivel|Raf]], who are under fire from the [[Eradicon|Decepticon sentries]]. They explain they were worried about [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]], who pops up from Bulkhead's back seat. Bulkhead drops everyone off behind some cover before driving under the Decepticon ship, scaling a nearby cliff, and jumping on board. After dealing with a bunch of Decepticons, Bulkhead realizes that Miko's not with the other kids, and she pops out of his chest, having stowed away. Miko finds herself in the middle of the fight between Bulkhead and the cons, which the Autobot swiftly terminates with the help of a piece of deck plating. While the pair move into the ship, problems are occurring outside; Jack and Raf are captured by the Decepticons and taken on board the ship, where [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] abruptly appear and rescue them. The two parties run into each other in a corridor, and Jack and Raf let Arcee know where [[William Fowler|Fowler]] is, having heard their guard talking.

[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s interrogation of Fowler is finally beginning to bear fruit when the distant sound of gunfire can be heard, and Fowler stops being helpful. Starscream gives him a jolt with the prod, stunning him into unconsciousness, and sends the two guards to find out what's going on.

Back at the zombie battle, Ratchet notes that exposure to the Dark Energon is sapping their strength. The fight on, but first Optimus, then Ratchet disappear under piles of zombies. Megatron laughs... but with a cry, Optimus breaks free and helps Ratchet up.

[[Image:DarknessRising4-Optimusshootsthroughzombie.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Megatron has desecrated our ancestors and ''I'' wanted to do that!"]]

The Autobots clear out a room on the Decepticon ship for the kids to hide in. Miko and Jack immediately begin arguing over their situation, which upsets Raf. Jack and Miko try to reassure him, before Jack notices a huge computer display. Raf thinks it has important information on it.

Fowler's interrogation is complicated by the man's now-dazed state. It's further complicated when Bulkhead and Bumblebee appear in the doorway. They aim their guns at Starscream, who aims his at Fowler, only to feel a tap on the head — Arcee is balanced in a shaft right above his head, aiming her gun downwards.

The kids know they've found important information, but are at a loss as to how to get it back to Optimus. As Raf's contemplating using a flash drive, a Decepticon walks in. The kids dive for cover, but Raf goes back for his backpack and is spotted by the Decepticon.

The Mexican standoff in the brig is broken when Fowler distracts Starscream, and the Autobots start firing. Starscream decides discretion is called for, and flies off down the nearest corridor.

The Decepticon starts firing on Raf. Jack heroically runs out and tackles Raf behind one of the Decepticon corpses, before instructing Miko to take a picture. She snaps a picture of the Decepticon, before Jack redirects her at the computer screen. The kids leg it from the room, followed by the Decepticon which is promptly taken out by Bulkhead. Reunited, the kids and Autobots make their escape.

Optimus and Ratchet finish off the zombie horde, and Optimus starts climbing up to Megatron. Megatron boasts that the battle was simply a prelude to the main event, and flies off. Ratchet wonders ominously what Megatron has in store for them.

After some sad farewells (except from Ratchet), they send him home by [[ground bridge]].

Back on the Decepticon ship in orbit, Megatron abuses Starscream for disobeying his orders. Starscream manages to quell his master's anger by announcing he has a way to get their plans back on course.

Miko pays Jack a visit and tries to talk him into returning to the Autobots, but he's content to go back to his normal life.

Ratchet, meanwhile, is checking out the data Miko photographed, and realizes that it's the specs for a [[space bridge]] part. Bulkhead thinks it's great that Megatron's thinking of leaving, but Optimus points out that he's probably intending to bring an army to [[Earth]] with it, and there's only one place he can find enough Transformer corpses to build a new army — [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

'''While Optimus and Ratchet battle Megatron's zombie horde, the others attempt to rescue Agent Fowler.'''

==Synopsis==
As [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]]'s army of [[Dark Energon]]-powered [[zombie]]s march, [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] are horrified at the desecration. The Dark Energon flowing through Megatron gives him control over this new army, and he directs them to destroy the two Autobots. When the zombies keep getting up as fast as Optimus can blast them down, Ratchet discovers that dismemberment is a more effective way of dealing with them.

[[Image:darkrising4_botgroup.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Pretty sure war zones don't count for bring your daughter to work day Bulky.]]

At the [[Nemesis (Prime)|Decepticon ship]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] rescues [[Jack Darby|Jack]] and [[Rafael Esquivel|Raf]], who are under fire from the [[Eradicon|Decepticon sentries]]. They explain they were worried about [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]], who pops up from Bulkhead's back seat. Bulkhead drops everyone off behind some cover before driving under the Decepticon ship, scaling a nearby cliff, and jumping on board. After dealing with a bunch of Decepticons, Bulkhead realizes that Miko's not with the other kids, and she pops out of his chest, having stowed away. Miko finds herself in the middle of the fight between Bulkhead and the cons, which the Autobot swiftly terminates with the help of a piece of deck plating. While the pair move into the ship, problems are occurring outside; Jack and Raf are captured by the Decepticons and taken on board the ship, where [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] and [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] abruptly appear and rescue them. The two parties run into each other in a corridor, and Jack and Raf let Arcee know where [[William Fowler|Fowler]] is, having heard their guard talking.

[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]]'s interrogation of Fowler is finally beginning to bear fruit when the distant sound of gunfire can be heard, and Fowler stops being helpful. Starscream gives him a jolt with the prod, stunning him into unconsciousness, and sends the two guards to find out what's going on.

Back at the zombie battle, Ratchet notes that exposure to the Dark Energon is sapping their strength. The fight on, but first Optimus, then Ratchet disappear under piles of zombies. Megatron laughs... but with a cry, Optimus breaks free and helps Ratchet up.

[[Image:DarknessRising4-Optimusshootsthroughzombie.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Megatron has desecrated our ancestors and ''I'' wanted to do that!"]]

The Autobots clear out a room on the Decepticon ship for the kids to hide in. Miko and Jack immediately begin arguing over their situation, which upsets Raf. Jack and Miko try to reassure him, before Jack notices a huge computer display. Raf thinks it has important information on it.

Fowler's interrogation is complicated by the man's now-dazed state. It's further complicated when Bulkhead and Bumblebee appear in the doorway. They aim their guns at Starscream, who aims his at Fowler, only to feel a tap on the head — Arcee is balanced in a shaft right above his head, aiming her gun downwards.

The kids know they've found important information, but are at a loss as to how to get it back to Optimus. As Raf's contemplating using a flash drive, a Decepticon walks in. The kids dive for cover, but Raf goes back for his backpack and is spotted by the Decepticon.

The Mexican standoff in the brig is broken when Fowler distracts Starscream, and the Autobots start firing. Starscream decides discretion is called for, and flies off down the nearest corridor.

The Decepticon starts firing on Raf. Jack heroically runs out and tackles Raf behind one of the Decepticon corpses, before instructing Miko to take a picture. She snaps a picture of the Decepticon, before Jack redirects her at the computer screen. The kids leg it from the room, followed by the Decepticon which is promptly taken out by Bulkhead. Reunited, the kids and Autobots make their escape.

Optimus and Ratchet finish off the zombie horde, and Optimus starts climbing up to Megatron. Megatron boasts that the battle was simply a prelude to the main event, and flies off. Ratchet wonders ominously what Megatron has in store for them.

'''The Autobots try to get Cliffjumper back, unaware of what the Decepticons have done to him.'''

==Synopsis==
[[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] shows off the massive [[energon (fuel)|energon]] deposit that the [[Decepticon]]s have located. After [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] reminds his subordinate who's boss, he shows off what ''he's'' found — [[Dark Energon]], the blood of [[Unicron]], which Starscream claims is said to have the power to resurrect the dead. Though Megatron inquires if Starscream is willing to volunteer to try it out, it turns out they still have [[Cliffjumper (Prime)|Cliffjumper]]'s corpse handy.

In Autobot HQ, Optimus Prime tells the kids that the Autobots will have to protect them, as the Decepticons will likely be interested in the Autobots' new allies. A proximity alert lets the Autobots know that Agent [[William Fowler|Fowler]], their liaison with the US government, is paying them a visit. Fowler is not happy with the Autobots' antics during the recent freeway chase, but [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] points out no humans were hurt. After Prime's assurances that the Autobots will take care of things, Fowler leaves.

Megatron uses the Dark Energon on Cliffjumper, who revives as a snarling savage beast and immediately attacks a couple of Decepticon soldiers. The thing that was Cliffjumper then turns on Megatron, who slices him in two and announces that the Dark Energon is the key to a vast indestructible army.

Ratchet reports that he's detected Cliffjumper's signal and the chance that Cliffjumper's alive is too much for the Autobots to resist. Leaving the kids with Ratchet, they take the [[ground bridge]] out. Ratchet explains the ground bridge to the amazed kids, and threatens to send them to Tokyo. Meanwhile the rest of the Autobots arrive in the energon mine and start fighting Decepticon drones. Starscream alerts Megatron, who feels he needs more time to prepare to face Optimus, and orders the ship made ready for departure. He also order Starscream to blow up the mine. As the battle rages, [[Arcee (Prime)|Arcee]] spots Cliffjumper. The other Autobots cover her, and she reaches her fellow Autobot, or what's left of him, only to discover what the Decepticons have done. Starscream stops by to drop off a bomb, before making a rapid exit. The Autobots race through the mine ahead of the explosion, back to their entry point as Optimus radios Ratchet to order the opening of the Ground Bridge.

After the team arrives back at base, Arcee tells the others what she saw. She becomes dizzy, and Ratchet scans her and finds contamination on her wrist. While Arcee goes and gets cleaned up, the kids explain to Optimus that they really need to get home, or their relatives will send the cops out looking for them. Prime assigns Bulkhead to take [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] home, [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] to take care of [[Rafael Esquivel|Raf]], and Arcee to [[Jack Darby|Jack]]. Arcee and Jack arrive home shortly before [[June Darby|Jack's mother]] hauls up in her car. Mom's less than impressed that Jack appears to have bought a motorcycle, but Jack talks her around. The next morning, despite Jack's protests that it's a Saturday, Arcee insists that they need to get to HQ.

On the Decepticon ship, Megatron is skeptical that Optimus perished in the destruction of the energon mine. Starscream is concerned that Megatron is being affected by too much exposure to the Dark Energon, but Megatron responds by taking a sliver of the substance and plunging it into his own spark.

Ratchet's analysis of the Dark Energon sample he retrieved from Arcee is incomplete due to his lack of the necessary technology. As he moves the sample to another part of the lab, some of it drips on the manipulator arm Bulkhead broke earlier. Unseen by Ratchet, the arm twitches into life, turning into a one eyed, spider like creature.

==Quotes==
"Then as your humble servant, shall I ready the space bridge to bring forth the Decepticon army you have surely gathered during your three years in space."
:—'''Starscream''' drips with sarcasm.

"They have no protective shell! If they get underfoot they will go... squish." 
:—'''Ratchet''' on humans.

"Team Prime knows when to use force, and how ''much'' to use!" 
"Bulkhead, I ''NEEDED THAT''!"

==Notes==
===Animation or technical errors===
===Continuity errors===

===Transformers references===
*Dark Energon is a central MacGuffin for Megatron in this continuity, first being used in the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron|War for Cybertron]]'' games, as well as in the ''[[Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron|Exodus]]'' novel. Megatron and Starscream's introductory conversation about the substance is ''very'' expository for the benefit of viewers who haven't read the book or played the game, to the extent that it sounds like neither of them has encountered it before, and neither Arcee nor Ratchet is indicated to have any familiarity with the substance, despite having seen it first-hand back during the war. And yet, Arcee does compare Decepticon experiments during the war on Cybertron to the substance's effect on Cliffjumper, without explicitly naming the stuff (though previously it didn't make anyone crazed zombies... on the other hand, it was never used on a dead guy before (that we know of). Sorry Cliff, thems the breaks). It's all a bit wobbly; while the cartoon almost certainly seems to have been written as if it is the characters' first encounter with Dark Energon, the dialogue does have enough wiggle room if you're obstinate, like us!
*The purple goo shares the property of changing ordinary machines into Transformers with the [[AllSpark]].

Popular beast alternate modes

2010-10-18T00:22:08Z

Rachet6: /* Bovids */

When arriving on Earth, there are millions of animal species a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan for an [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the beast mode. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

Popular beast alternate modes

2010-10-18T00:20:11Z

Rachet6: /* Felines */

When arriving on Earth, there are millions of animal species a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan for an [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the beast mode. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

Popular beast alternate modes

2010-10-18T00:18:55Z

Rachet6: /* Pteranodon */

When arriving on Earth, there are millions of animal species a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan for an [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the beast mode. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes

2010-10-18T00:16:38Z

Rachet6: /* Lamborghini Diablo */

When on [[Earth]], a [[Transformer]] typically finds a wide variety of [[human]] vehicles matching their general body plan and size available to adopt as a disguise mode. Although there are many thousands of options available, certain specific models of vehicle, however, are very popular disguises, seeing repeated use across multiple individuals and [[Continuity|continuities]].

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for a vehicle model to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the model. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''. Certain models are "lumped" together, such as the case for the Mazda RX car series, which includes the RX-7 and RX-8 types. This also, of course, takes into account the various fudging of the designs that are done in order to get a robot mode out of the toy, as well as avoid having to pay a licensing fee to the actual manufacturers (in most instances).

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

This policy is in place mainly due to the rampant use of redecoes as new characters, and is a little out of line with the phenomenon being explored... after all, isn't it kinda weird that out of all the myriad types of fighter jet there are in the world, that the Dassault Rafale in particular seems to pop up so often across soooooo many jet-form toy-characters?

Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes

2010-10-18T00:14:02Z

Rachet6: /* Desert racing buggy */

When on [[Earth]], a [[Transformer]] typically finds a wide variety of [[human]] vehicles matching their general body plan and size available to adopt as a disguise mode. Although there are many thousands of options available, certain specific models of vehicle, however, are very popular disguises, seeing repeated use across multiple individuals and [[Continuity|continuities]].

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for a vehicle model to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the model. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''. Certain models are "lumped" together, such as the case for the Mazda RX car series, which includes the RX-7 and RX-8 types. This also, of course, takes into account the various fudging of the designs that are done in order to get a robot mode out of the toy, as well as avoid having to pay a licensing fee to the actual manufacturers (in most instances).

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

This policy is in place mainly due to the rampant use of redecoes as new characters, and is a little out of line with the phenomenon being explored... after all, isn't it kinda weird that out of all the myriad types of fighter jet there are in the world, that the Dassault Rafale in particular seems to pop up so often across soooooo many jet-form toy-characters?

Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes

2010-10-18T00:09:41Z

Rachet6: /* F-117A Nighthawk */

When on [[Earth]], a [[Transformer]] typically finds a wide variety of [[human]] vehicles matching their general body plan and size available to adopt as a disguise mode. Although there are many thousands of options available, certain specific models of vehicle, however, are very popular disguises, seeing repeated use across multiple individuals and [[Continuity|continuities]].

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for a vehicle model to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the model. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''. Certain models are "lumped" together, such as the case for the Mazda RX car series, which includes the RX-7 and RX-8 types. This also, of course, takes into account the various fudging of the designs that are done in order to get a robot mode out of the toy, as well as avoid having to pay a licensing fee to the actual manufacturers (in most instances).

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

This policy is in place mainly due to the rampant use of redecoes as new characters, and is a little out of line with the phenomenon being explored... after all, isn't it kinda weird that out of all the myriad types of fighter jet there are in the world, that the Dassault Rafale in particular seems to pop up so often across soooooo many jet-form toy-characters?
