'''Shockwave''' has many toys, so logic dictates that they should receive a page. Logic also dictates that they should be awesome.

*'''Shockwave''' (Decepticon, 1985)
**''Takara ID number'': '''49'''
**''Accessories'': "Magnetic impulse defuser" barrel
{{toydesigner|[[Katsumi Suzuki (designer)|Katsumi Suzuki]] ([[ToyCo]])<ref>[https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/d0200 1986 Astro Magnum patent] at the {{w|Japan Patent Office}}'s online directory</ref>|[[Mark Watts]] (packaging artist)}}

:Shockwave was one of the very first 1985 toys to see release, if not ''the'' first. In robot mode he has a very high degree of articulation for that era. Shockwave transforms into a large Cybertronian handgun, and features light and sound electronics powered by a 9-volt battery. Pulling his trigger activates a flashing light in his gun arm and one of two (fairly generic) blaster-sound frequencies, which are toggled between by a small switch on his backpack; in gun mode, the light winds up in his barrel.

:The large Decepticon [[insignia]] on his chest has a thin purple outline tracing just beyond the margins of the symbol itself, a decorative feature unique in the entire history of the [[Transformers brand|brand]]. Speaking of unique deco, Shockwave was also the only boxed G1 toy that did not include a [[sticker]] sheet.

:Shockwave was initially sold without a [[rubsign]]; one was later added to the side of his torso.

:Shockwave is one of the most oft-broken G1 toys, owing to a mixture of weak plastics clashing against die-cast metal, overpowered springs and ratchets shearing themselves apart, and outdated electronics corroding into uselessness. The rubber hose covering the wires connecting his torso and arm's electronics is particularly prone to dry-rotting. Be careful!

:A rare box [[variant]] had the grey outline on Shockwave's [[package art]] not fully cover the tip of his arm cannon.

:The Shockwave toy was originally created by [[Japan]]ese toy company [[ToyCo]]; see [[#Notes|Notes]] for more details on its unusual journey to the ''Transformers'' line.

*'''Shockwave with Fistfight''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': double-barreled [[turbo rifle]]
{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist)}}

:As an [[Action Master]], Shockwave is a non-transforming action figure who combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy, with a few more details. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. Part of the third assortment of individually-carded Action Master figures, he came with his small robot [[Action Master partner|partner]] [[Fistfight (G1)|Fistfight]], who combines with Shockwave's handgun to form a [[lightning rifle]].

:There are reports of an early "test market" release that supposedly included a rubber hose that connects from his gun-arm to his back, like the original toy.{{fact}} There are holes in the toy's gun-arm and backpack; the black hoses included with many old ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toys can fit in these holes.

:*''Alternators ID number'': '''12'''
:*''Binaltech ID number'': '''BT-13'''
:*''Binaltech release date'': [[April 4]], [[2005]]
:*''Accessories'': Muffler-blaster
{{toydesigner|[[Masakatsu Saito]] (concept artist), [[Marcelo Matere]] (packaging artist)}}

:The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' version of Shockwave is a [[retool]] of "[[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Meister]]" from the same line. Named "Shockblast" for [[trademark]] reasons, his [[alternate mode]] is a licensed, 1:24 [[scale]] {{w|Mazda RX-8}}, changing Meister's standard street model into a Mazdaspeed-modified version with new front and rear fenders, doors, side skirts and a spoiler (the Japanese ''Binaltech'' version, Laserwave, is specifically marketed as a "Mazdaspeed Version II"). He features [[rubber tires]], opening doors, hood and trunk, a detailed interior including seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel, and a working "steering" mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though). In robot mode, his muffler unfolds to become a hand-held blaster; it can also be arm-mounted thanks to the holes near the robot's elbow joints compatible with the muffler's vehicle-mode mounting peg. Shockblast also features a new head sculpt with a single eye that is illuminated using some very effective [[light-piping]], and an arm cannon made out of clear plastic that replaces his left hand. Undocumented in the instructions is a tab on the underside of each foot that can be positioned to make the figure more stable in certain poses.

:Takara's ''Binaltech'' Laserwave has quite a number of small but significant changes from the ''Alternators'' version. As usual with ''Binaltech'' releases, his car shell is partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal rather than all-plastic, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in a metal-flake paint. His passenger compartment has a hard-plastic steering wheel on the right-hand side of the car (as they are in Japan). He has [[Vacuum metallizing|vac-metal]] side-mirrors and "LWAVE" on his license plate (rather than Shockblast's "SHKWAV"). The "steering" mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels instead of the ''Alternators'' version's plastic insertion point. Plus it comes with a bonus large Decepticon [[insignia]] [[sticker]] that can be applied to a real car.

:Shockblast was later re-released as part of a Europe-only wave of ''Alternators'' toys in the same packaging style as the second North American ''Alternators'' assortment, the latter of which Shockblast was ''not'' re-released in. Despite Hasbro re-claiming the "Shockwave" name by then, this re-release still calls him "Shockblast".

:The original Meister version of the sculpt was also released in a ''Binaltech''-only red version ([[repurposing|repurposed]] into "[[Zoom-Zoom]]" by the [[Story of Binaltech|official ''Binaltech'' fiction]]) and was later retooled into ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' [[Autorooper]]. The Mazdaspeed car parts, but with Meister's original head sculpt and left hand, were later used to make the ''Binaltech''-only [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Argent|Argent Meister]].

**''Accessories'': flask
:This version of Shockwave has much more detailed, original-toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, plus his wrist-blaster is now clear-purple plastic. You can also replace the blaster with his clear-purple flask, which gives him a more "accurate" smaller blaster-hand.

:He was only available in a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014 [[exclusive]] pack of 30 Kreons dubbed the "[[Kreon Class of 1984]]". Remaining stock was to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, only there ''was'' no remaining stock after the show.

:His inclusion in the set is somewhat more justified than other 85~86 characters who appear in it, as while the original Shockwave toy was released in 1985, the character made an early debut in 1984 in both comics and cartoon.

:(Also... voted "Best Optics"? Wow, guys, ''cruel''.)

:Released as part of the second wave of Battle Changers, Shockwave is a massively built-up Kreon that transforms from robot to Cybertronic tank and back without removing any parts! The robot mode is based on that of Generation 1 Shockwave while the vehicle mode is based on that of [[Shockwave (WFC)|''Prime'' Shockwave]].

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.

*'''Shockwave''' (Deluxe Class, 2012)
**''Series/number'': '''01 / #003'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece laser cannon
{{note|The ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Shockwave (WFC)#Generations|Shockwave]] toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Shockwave.}}
:Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Shockwave transforms into a "Cybertronian mobile artillery" mode. The front center fuselage of the vehicle becomes a [[5 mm post|hand-held]] "laser cannon" that's modeled after the [[Sling Shock#Generations|Sling Shock]]. It can be stored on a 5mm port on his back, and undocumented in his [[instructions]], can replace his hands by folding either one of them in, revealing a socket on his wrist that a tab underneath his cannon can mount to. As another undocumented feature, the cannon actually consists of two pieces, with a large y-shaped barrel that can be removed, revealing the sculpted ends of a triple-barreled gun. The y-shaped barrel part can also be stored on Shockwave's back, forming some sort of [[jet pack|jet-pack]] exhaust.

:Shockwave features two examples of [[Kibble#faux-parts|faux-parts]]: The undersides of his heels resemble the front end of the y-shaped barrel part, effectively serving as an extension of the barrel in vehicle mode, whereas a fake replica of the top end of his head (including his signature "ear" panels) is sculpted on the top side of his vehicle mode (which ends up on the underside of his backpack in robot mode).

:The figure has a "dramatic reveal" feature, where pressing the chest into place causes the head to pop up. The clasp used to hold the spring-loaded piece in place is fairly strong, and requires a small amount of force to latch if the head isn't pressed down before moving the chest assembly. Depending on the individual quality of the figure, this can cause the latch to wear out, and the spring is strong enough that the head will push the whole assembly out of place in vehicle mode if not properly retracted. As such, care should be taken on this step of conversion.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed/retooled into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Fireflight (FOC)#Generations|Air Raid]] and [[BotCon 2014]] [[Brimstone (G1 Star Seeker)#Timelines|Brimstone]].

:Unsurprisingly for an Aligned toy inspired by Generation 1, ''Fall of Cybertron'' Shockwave was used in multiple Generation 1-based stories, with the Hasbro deco [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|appearing]] in IDW Publishing's ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic series<ref>Shockwave's new body in "season 1" of ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' is actually drawn according to his Aligned counterpart's [[:File:War for Cybertron Shockwave.jpg|appearance]] in the High Moon Studios video games as opposed to the toy, but all things considered, the toy is a good match.</ref> and the short comic "[[Starscream's New Power]]" and the TakaraTomy deco [[Brawl (G1)#Transformers: All Spark|appearing]] in the ''[[Transformers: All Spark]]'' manga series and the ''[[Transformers Cloud]]'' stories.

He includes a blaster that covers his fist and resembles his original weapon. Also included are two parts that connect over the gun to mimic the original Shockwave's barrel cover.

:Most of his parts were used to make [[Silverbolt (G1)#Construct-Bots|Silverbolt]].

**''ID number:'' '''MP-29'''
**''Accessories:'' Left and right fists, translucent right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), saluting right hand (opaque and translucent), "Laser Vulcan", stand, die-cast Megatron Gun accessory (Asia reissue)
{{toydesigner|[[Tomoya Miyake]] (TakaraTomy)}}
:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' "Destron Laserwave" is a painstakingly cartoon-accurate and toy-accurate figure, transforming into a large Cybertronian handgun and scaling with the rest of the Masterpiece line (since [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9]]), standing slightly taller than the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP11|MP-11 seeker mold]] and slightly shorter than [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece 2|MP-13 Soundwave]]. Though this figure's light purple coloration was controversial in some parts of the [[fandom]], it is based directly off Shockwave's original [[character model|animation model]].

:Similarly to [[#Generation 1|his original toy]], Laserwave has two separate electronic light gimmicks (but no sounds!). Two LR44 batteries power the light in his left arm, which is activated by clicking a button on his forearm and causes his arm cannon to glow with purple light, pulsing in and out eight times after a single push. 2 AAA batteries power the light in the gun barrel, activated by—what else?—pulling his trigger; toggling a small switch on his abdomen determines if the gun barrel LED remains illuminated for as long as the trigger is held, or if it will automatically pulse in and out ten times. His eye lights up using [[light-piping]] from a large panel in the back of his head.

:He includes a left fist that can be swapped out for his arm cannon, to replicate his two-handed appearance from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", and an open "saluting" hand that can be swapped for his right fist based on the same scene from the same episode. Additionally, he includes translucent versions of his arm cannon and both right hands to match his original toy's appearance. The barrel of his gun mode ends up on his back in robot mode, in contrast to his original toy, for which it was attached as a separate piece (something that was also true for the cartoon, in which it usually flew in from off-screen when he transformed). To cover this change, he comes with a stand for his gun mode that folds up into a show-accurate backpack and clips over the barrel. To avoid the potential dry-rot and pliability issues of a rubber tube, the connector tube for Shockwave's gun arm is made of a thin spring-like metal.

:He comes with a mini version of himself in gun mode which he can wield (called a "Laser Vulcan" in the instructions), as seen in the episode "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1]]", and a sticker sheet allowing him to have either classic Decepticon logos or cartoon-styled ones (with smaller eyes and a three-pointed central crest).

:In Asian countries outside of Japan, he comes with a [[collector coin]]. The coin package is shaped after Shockwave's chest on the outside with the inside part being decorated after his target scope, and refers to the character as Destron Laserwave (a deviation from the other collector coins, which always used the western names even for characters who have different names in Japan). In Asia, the figure was later reissued and came with a die-cast Megatron gun accessory.

**''Accessories:'' Translucent left and right fists, opaque right fist, gun barrel (opaque and translucent), opaque saluting right hand, "Laser Vulcan", stand
:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' MP-29+ "Destron Laserwave" is a [[redeco]] of MP-29 sporting a much darker shade of purple that's more in line with both the [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]] and most of his animated appearances. It was [[exclusive]] to [[TakaraTomy Mall]].

:He features a new head sculpt with slightly different details and proportions from the earlier Masterpiece, most obvious in his eye now being smaller and a less greenish shade. The hose on his small gun accessory is now made of plastic instead of fabric.

:His forearms now feature tampographed Generation 1-cartoon styled Decepticon symbols, rather than the [[Sticker|decal]] options of the original ''Masterpiece'' figure. In addition, some of his dark purple is actually painted, as is the silver on the barrel of his gun mode. This means special care must be taken to avoid scratching the paint when clipping the backpack around the gun barrel in robot mode.

:This release is usually listed as "MP-29+ Defense Officer Laserwave" (防衛参謀レーザーウェーブ ''Bōei Sanbō Rēzāwēbu''), including in official media, but no changes were made regarding name formatting on the package between MP-29 and MP-29+.

{{toydesigner|[[Shogo Hasui]] (TakaraTomy)}}

:Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Legends Class figures, "Decepticon Shockwave" transforms into a "cannon" that resembles his original laser gun mode! Homaging a scene from "[[The Revenge of Bruticus]]", a 5 mm peg folds down from the bottom of the cannon to form a gun mode which ''Combiner Wars'' [[Bruticus (G1)#Combiner Wars|Bruticus]] (or any other ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner mode fist, or even his [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' figure]]) can wield, though a molded gun handle a few millimeters ahead of the 5 mm peg makes the connection incompatible with many figures. Shockwave's weight unfortunately prevents most figures from being able to actually hold him up without bringing said figure's arm or entire body down, even the combiners made specifically to hold him. The 5 mm peg/gun handle combo also plugs into either the back of Bruticus or on top of [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner Wars|Onslaught]]'s vehicle mode, though the open space for Bruticus's head makes the latter attachment somewhat unstable. Shockwave only features a 5 mm-compatible right hand.

:Shockwave also comes with a collector card based on his packaging art.

:This mold was later redecoed/retooled as [[BotCon 2016]] [[Reflector (G1)#Combiner Wars|Reflector]] and [[Flash Sentry#Toys|Flash Sentry]] and served as the model for the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Movor#Beast Wars: Uprising|Movor]].

**''ID number:'' '''LG24'''
:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Shockwave is a another redeco of his [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' Legends Class figure]], transforming from robot to 5 mm-compatible cannon and now featuring a deco closely based on the Generation 1 cartoon (although his show-accurate purple is a slightly brighter hue). He is packaged with [[Cancer (G1)#Legends|Cancer]], a redeco of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' [[Squeezeplay (G1)#Generations|Crashbash]]. As a ''Combiner Wars'' mold, Shockwave is not actually designed to interact with [[Titan Master]] figures, though Takara stock photographs and the instructions suggest rearranging his arms in cannon mode to form an awkward seat for Cancer. If you wish, you could pair him with ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' Bruticus.

:Unusually for a ''Legends'' release, he's referred to by his English market name rather than "Laserwave", presumably for trademark and/or marketing reasons. [[Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|A later ''Legends'' story]] would note that in-universe, Laserwave had changed his name to "Shockwave".

*'''Decepticon Shockwave''' (Cyber Battalion, 2018)
:Released in the third wave of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Generations: Cyber Series]]'' Cyber Battalion figures, Shockwave transforms into a spaceship in a few easy steps. Unlike most figures in the Cyber Series, Shockwave is not based on any existing ''Transformers'' mold and has unique engineering. Additionally, he features a 5 mm-compatible fist and a well-articulated upper body, but lacks bicep swivels and knee articulation. His vehicle mode is loosely based on his original blaster mode but also takes some design cues from the [[#Fall of Cybertron|''Fall of Cybertron'']] and [[#Construct-Bots|''Construct-Bots'']] Shockwaves.

:In vehicle mode, the upper body does not connect solidly anywhere resulting in parts moving out of place in copies with loose hinge joints. This is somewhat harder to correct than many figures due to how small the joint is and how it is recessed into the chest. His plastic is also cast in two different shades of purple, which contrast strongly against one another.

:Amusingly, considering how easily he transforms between modes, his alt-mode is mistransformed in the stock photo. The robot mode Shockwave head rotates to an altered head in a different shade of purple for the vehicle mode.

:Debuting in Asian markets, this figure was later sold in the United States at Walgreens stores in 2018. Despite stock remaining plentiful for years to come, he was also re-issued in 2021, with stock remaining as late as 2023.

**''Hidden message code'': '''TARN'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "LV Duo-Pulse Radiograph" boots, 2 "LV Gamma-Disruptor Launcher" shoulder pads, backpack
{{toydesigner|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Leader Class figures, Shockwave is a heavily G1-inspired Voyager-sized robot that can assume a small Leader-sized super robot mode with ''four arms'' by combining with armor consisting of two shoulder pads, two platform boot pieces, and a backpack. These pieces are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. They can be placed in many configurations on his body—TakaraTomy's stock photos suggest adding the accessories as limb-mounted cannon emplacements—or combined into a hovercraft, an intended feature not mentioned in the instructions.

:Shockwave himself transforms into a spaceship resembling [[Sixshot (G1)#Titans Return|an upside-down laser gun]], which can be augmented using the armor. The bridge of the spaceship is sculpted to evoke Shockwave's head and features the same killer [[light-piping]] effect. If you're inclined, the spaceship (without the armor parts) ''can'' be displayed as such, though the "handle" on the spaceship bridge/legs is a bit too short for an adult hand to hold with.

:Like most ''Siege'' toys, Shockwave features multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons (such as his cannon arm, now called the "LV-1 Thermal Range Neuron Beam") to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Shockwave also features the typical ''Siege'' "battle damage" paint, but only on his feet and shoulder pads. TakaraTomy's stock photography shows a non-final figure with two inconsistent shades of purple.

:Caution should be taken with Shockwave's rubber hose, as it's prone to stress and breaking, especially at the plug connection point. This seems to be due to it being slightly too short, causing a great deal of tension at the point where it attaches to Shockwave's body when he's in spaceship mode or has his arm extended. The plug itself and the corresponding "correct" ports on his forearm and bridge tower seem to be slightly larger than standard 5mm posts, suggesting the size difference may be intentional to deter connecting the hose in a way that would lead to damage. However, the difference isn't enough to entirely prevent the peg from being pushed in with a small amount of force. This has the added effect of making some of his ports too loose to hold accessories properly while others may be slightly too tight.

:Shockwave was released in both the first and last waves of the ''Siege'' toyline. The latter release unfortunately turned him into a massive shelfwarmer, particularly at Target stores, where he could still be found throughout the entirety of 2020 alongside the ''Earthrise'' toyline.

The accessories use black as opposed to the dark grey of the main figure. Unlike the ''Siege'' figure, Galactic Man Shockwave lacks battle-damage paint.

:Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Transformers Authentics|Authentics]]'' Alpha figures, Shockwave is a Voyager-sized toy based on his heavily stylized [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|''Cyberverse'']] incarnation, which is in turn influenced by his [[Evergreen]] design. He transforms into a Cybertronian starfighter which greatly resembles and shares engineering with the [[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#PrimeWarsTrilogyAsian|Cyber Series Battalion]] figure from [[2018]]. He features a rubber hose connecting his gun arm to his abdomen. His wing pack is removable, though it doesn't need to be for his transformation.

:It seems plausible that the stock renders and instructions erroneously depict the toy upside down in vehicle mode, as the "bottom" of the jet mode appears to be a more coherent vehicle mode and features more paint applications.

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' Core Class toys, Shockwave transforms from a smaller, mostly cartoon-accurate rendition of the character to a Cybertronian spaceship based directly on his ''Siege'' Leader Class figure, down to the shade of plastic used. However, to evoke Shockwave's G1 laser gun mode, the figure has a flip-out 5 mm peg on the underside of his alternate mode which both acts as landing gear and as a handle so he can be wielded by larger figures. Shockwave comes with a radar dish accessory, which can plug into his hand as an [[Energon]] shield or attach onto the top of his vehicle mode.

: Part of the [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]-[[exclusive]] ''Pre-Cybertronian War Collection'' subline, Senator Shockwave is a heavy retool of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Seeker (body-type)#War for Cybertron: Siege|Seeker]] mold to recreate his appearance in ''[[Chaos Theory Part 1|Chaos]] [[Chaos Theory Part 2|Theory]]'' and [[Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|the]] ''[[Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Shadowplay]]'' [[Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|trilogy]]. His tendency to change paint jobs within the mini-series made things tricky for the designers to pick one color scheme, but they ultimately landed on his final [[Ultra Magnus (G1)| Ultra Magnus]] inspired motif. Since he never transformed in the comic books, his newly designed vehicle mode parts are based loosely on his jet [[kibble]] in the story, especially his forearm wings. These wings are on hinged 5mm posts, allowing them to be placed elsewhere on Shockwave if one desires.

: Senator Shockwave comes in a 2-Pack with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#HumbleOrigins|Data Clerk Orion Pax.]] They were both revealed and went up for preorder on the [[May 16]] [[Hasbro Pulse]] Fanstream alongside the "Rise of Tyranny" 2-pack.

: Amazon mistakenly mixed up the product IDs for the Rise of Tyranny and Humble Origins two-packs; as a result, customers who pre-ordered this set were actually sent [[Megatron (G1)/Generations toys#RiseOfTyranny|Miner Megatron]] and [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#Legacy|Senator Ratbat]]. This was corrected a few days after the pre-orders started arriving; customers who purchase this set now will receive what they ordered.

:Stock photos show Shockwave in a very dark purple, similar to his ''Siege'' toy. The final toy is a more accurate bright purple.

:Shockwave is packaged with [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Soundwave]], [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Laserbeak]], and [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Dramatic Capture Series|Megatron]]. Also included is a throne/command chair, a reuse of ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Coronation Starscream]]'s throne, which was based on the command chair of the ''Nemesis'''s bridge to begin with. Unlike Megatron or Starscream, though, Shockwave doesn't really fit in the chair very well due to his non-collapsible heel spurs preventing him from sitting with his legs all the way down.

:''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Comic Edition|Generations Comic Edition]]'' Shockwave is a redeco of his ''[[#War For Cybertron: Siege|War For Cybertron: Siege]]'' figure without the armor add-ons, and in a color scheme reflecting his appearances in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|original ''Transformers'' comic]] published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The figure comes in gatefold packaging featuring art from "[[The New Order]]," and includes a display stand with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s severed head, based specifically on [[Herb Trimpe]]'s rendition. The head of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]] can be removed and replaced with this head for a new Marvel inspired look, though it can be a snug fit, so take a little care when installing. Also note that, as the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''/''Earthrise'' head mold does not have the appropriate gap in the back, it cannot be used on the harness in place of the new head.

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Swapticons]]'', Shockwave is a small, rectangular figure that transforms into the back half of a treaded assault vehicle. While his nominal placement is as the back half of a tank-like vehicle with his pack-in partner [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Swapticons|Megatron]], he can attach to any other Swapticon, front or back, to make whatever silly abomination you feel like unleashing. His side panels/arms are on a hinge, allowing them to swing outward to look like he wants a hug while his head can swivel. His face is a sticker that wraps all the way around his head.

: His treads are connected by a pivot joint just below the arm, allowing them to be pivoted downward. He also includes a tank turret which can be placed on the top of his vehicle mode. While he and all other Swapticons lack hand holes to wield it, the peg is 3mm.

Like all the Decepticons in the series, Shockwave was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines.

Unlike most ''ReAction'' figures, Shockwave's right hand is a closed fist that cannot hold an accessory. Not that he comes with one.

:As with all releases in the ''ReAction'' toyline, Shockwave comes packaged on a small cardback that emulates the nostalgic packaging style of [[Kenner]]'s ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' action figures from the late 1970s to early '80s.

:Released in the fourth wave (and the headline figure) of the ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Shockwave is a roughly 4-inch tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Military Operations Commander. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Shockwave has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases.

:Shockwave comes with <s>a pair of closed and open hands</s> three right hands, including the all-new saluting piece. He also comes with a handheld version of his alt mode, used in the first part of "[[Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1|Desertion of the Dinobots]]". Shockwave also has a stand with four studs on top, which he can plug into and connect to similar stands.

:'''Shockwave 5-80O''' was available in a two-pack with [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Beyblade_X|Bumblebee 3-60GP]]. It consists of three pieces that can be interchanged with those of [[Beyblade#BEYBLADE X|other ''Beyblade X'' tops]]; an attacking "Blade" primarily made of metal, a "Ratchet" that locks parts together and determines height, and a "Bit" that touches the ground and determines movement.

:The "Shockwave" Blade features evergreen art of Bumblebee on its central Gear Chip and is partial of the mainline ''Beyblade X'' Blade "Tail Viper". The Ratchet (5-80) and Bit (Orb) are recolored parts from other ''Beyblade X'' tops.

:In Hasbro territories, a QR Code sticker hidden underneath the Blade can be scanned into the ''Beyblade X'' companion app. In Takara-Tomy territories, the QR Code stickers are omitted in favor of a Beycode Card packed with the instructions. However, scanning any of these QR codes only awards the player with in-app points, and will not unlock the Beyblade for in-game use like it would for any mainline ''Beyblade X'' tops.

==Notes==
{{twoimages|File:EarlyActionMasterShockwave.jpg|File:Starbrigade.jpg|thumb|w1=165|w2=105|caption=Product and colors (and franchise) may vary.}}
[[File:ToyCoAstroMagnum.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Humble origins, indeed.]]
*An early [[prototype]] of Action Master Shockwave depicted in various Hasbro [[catalog]]s and his own on-package [[Power Plans]] seems to be an entirely different sculpt with slightly different proportions and detailing, including a right hand sculpted in an open position. It also featured different colors, with a darker, more saturated shade of purple, the arm cannon and chest colored blue instead of orange, and Fistfight with his black and purple colors swapped.
*A silhouette of Action Master Shockwave's card art appears on the back of the [[1993]] ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]] [[Star Brigade]]'' action figure cardbacks... as [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]]!
*Rather humorously, the circuit board and wiring for Shockwave's [[soundbox]] was rendered out in his package art thanks to it being clearly visible through his chest window. The ''Masterpiece'' mold references this by having four greebles stacked on top of each other where the electrolytic capacitors found on the board are located.

===Generation 1 toy history===
* Unlike the bulk of early Transformers that drew their molds from [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Micro Change]]'' toys, the original Shockwave toy was first produced by [[Japan]]ese toy company [[ToyCo]] in [[1983]] as the "4 Changeable Astro Magnum".<ref name="SWO">[http://soundwavesoblivion.blogspot.com/2015/05/shockwave-toyco-variants-part-1.html Astro Magnum mold uses on Soundwave's Oblivion]</ref> The name "4 Changeable" refers to the fact that the toy was advertised as having four modes. Before you get excited, though, those other two modes are "Vulcan Base" (the gun mode with the legs separated and feet folded out) and "Gunborg" (gun mode, arms separated and splayed a bit, feet folded out). There's a reason you never noticed them before.
** Also in 1983, ToyCo licensed the Astro Magnum figure to Korean toy company [[Intecs]], who produced their own version of it named "4-Changeable Spark Man," changing the "Made in Japan" mark sculpted into its battery cover to "Made in Korea." For a long time, this figure was incorrectly believed to be a knock-off.
** In [[1984]], Hasbro licensed the figure not from ToyCo directly, but from ''Intecs'', to become part of the [[1985]] ''Transformers'' product line as Shockwave. Shockwave features the "Made in Korea" mark on his battery cover, and his packaging credits Intecs as the toy's manufacturer; before being named by [[Bob Budiansky]], the toy was even listed under its Korean name, "Spark Man," in a list of 1985 product included in an official internal briefing binder.<ref>[http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/ron-friedman-auction-hasbro-briefing_15.html 1985 Hasbro briefing binder] - [[Jim Sorenson|Disciples of Boltax]] on Blogspot (Megaupload link in the blog is now defunct)</ref> As part of this deal, the toy's mold was altered to add a 1983-dated copyright stamp to the inside of its right lower leg, which was not present on Astro Magnum or Spark Man.<ref name="sparkman">[http://tfscraps.blogspot.com/2019/05/spark-man-forgotten-pre-transformer.html "Spark Man: the forgotten pre-Transformer"] at TF Scraps.</ref>
** The toy was also licensed to American electronics manufacturer Tandy, who sold it in [[RadioShack]] stores under the name "Galactic Man," at the same time as Shockwave was on shelves. Galactic Man also sports the 1983 copyright stamp added to the mold for Shockwave. Fans have often referred to this version of the toy with the humorous nickname "Shackwave."<ref name="SWO"/>
** The Astro Magnum mold also appears to have been licensed to a small company called Village Toys in the 1980s, where it showed up in their ''[http://counter-x.net/footnotes/convert-a-bots/index.html Convert-A-Bots]'' line under the name "N-4-SR" (…"Enforcer", get it?). There are at least two variants; one was dark grey, with purple highlights,<ref name="n4sr1">[http://plasticcrack.net/archives/2009/04/convert-a-bot_shockwave_that_is_not_shockwave ''Convert-A-Bots'' N-4-SR, variant 1]</ref> the other pale green, also with purple highlights.<ref name="n4sr2">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1NVirID3fc ''Convert-A-Bots'' N-4-SR, variant 2]</ref>
* At some undisclosed point afterwards, ToyCo shifted production again, this time to [[China]] where it was cheaper to make products, before they eventually lost the metal mold. The rights were later sold on to another company whose identity is unknown, meaning that any chances of an official Shockwave reissue by Hasbro or TakaraTomy are ''very'' slim.<ref>[https://tformers.com/transformers-astro-magnum-tracking-down-the-shockwave-mold/9709/news.html "Presently, the rights were transfered to the other companies and we do not think that there is a thing that can be resold by our own discretion as of now."] - Interview with ToyCo at Tokyo Toy Show in [[2008]].</ref>
* Shockwave was also released by ToyCo in Korea at the same time Hasbro released him elsewhere. The only difference between the Korean version and the Hasbro release is a large "ToyCo" sticker on the front of the box.
* Shockwave bears the distinction of receiving a number of high-quality knockoffs, all of which known retain the electronics and some even having odd ''{{w|Flash Gordon}}''-esque [[retool]]s. Knowing that the rights to the mold were sold on to a company (presumably) in China, it would partially explain the frequent use the mold still gets today.
** It is also ''entirely'' possible that the knockoff/counterfeit "reissue" Shockwaves sold in G1 toy packaging replicas on eBay and several Chinese websites are either produced or licensed out by the company who currently owns the rights to the mold, making them somewhat "semi-official" releases mold-wise, lacking only the permission for the trademarks and packaging design use from Hasbro. If you ever needed an excuse to buy an affordable, rubber-hose-still-intact Shockwave, complete with working electronics, to fill that void in your collection without hurting your inner purist, there's your loophole!

RealLegoTFGuy: /* Shining Version */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a ''DV'' Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

While the first wave features circular pogs-like collectible cards, later waves of the toy would change it to rectangular cards.

RealLegoTFGuy: /* Defender Version */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Galaxy Version===
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with [[Shattered Glass (disambiguation)|the]] [[2005 IDW continuity|occasional]] [[Transformers One (franchise)|detour]]), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation. A select figure in each wave also has a [[Chase figure|chase variant]], featuring extra accessories and a metallic paintjob.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a ''DV'' Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

While the first wave features circular pogs-like collectible cards, later waves of the toy would change it to rectangular cards.

RealLegoTFGuy: /* Defender Version */

[[File:Blokees logo.png|right|thumb|upright=1|]]
'''Blokees''' (布鲁可 ''Bùlǔkě''), sometimes known as '''Bloks''', is a [[China|Chinese]] toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including ''Ultraman'', ''Kamen Rider'', [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]], ''[[Transformers Collaborative#Naruto Shippuden × Transformers|Naruto]]'', ''Sesame Street'', and most relevant here, ''Transformers''.

Their ''Transformers'' effort launched in mid-2023 with the ''Galaxy Version'' and ''Classic Class'' lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.

Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast [[Asia]], [[South Korea]], the [[United Kingdom]], and the [[United States of America|United States]].

Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
{{picsneeded|Classic Class, Action Edition, Defender}}

==Product Lines==
===Classic Class===
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, ''Classic Class'' offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters [[Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (film)|across]] the [[Transformers (film)|gamut]] of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that [[Light-emitting diode|lights up]] upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its own box.

===Galaxy Version===
''Galaxy Version'' is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves.

A select figure in each wave also has a [[Chase figure|chase variant]], featuring extra accessories and a metallic paintjob.

===Shining Version===
''Shining Version'' launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of ''Classic Class'' figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from ''Galaxy Version'', boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in ''GV'' later. Metallic chase figures drop at a rate of 1 in every 6 cases.

===Action Edition===
Launched in 2024, ''Action Edition'' delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their base's faction symbol activates their light features, vigorous shaking not required.

===Defender Version===
Launched in late 2024, ''Defender Version'' features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of ''Galaxy Version'' while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. These blind box waves include twelve figures per case, with one guaranteed chase variant per case from a pool of up to four different variants. They have also teased a ''DV'' Devastator, constructed from the vehicular Constructicons released each wave.

While the first wave features circular pogs-like collectible cards, later waves of the toy would change it to rectangular cards.

Sunstorm (G1)

:''Sunstorm is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

If bright colors are nature's way of saying "do not touch", then nature's got nothin' on '''Sunstorm'''. Come too close, and circuits will short, steel housing will begin to melt, and psyches will break as the mind struggles to comprehend. Science would explain that his body is aflame in radiation, but Sunstorm has different ideas.

Sometimes, Sunstorm merely believes he is secretly some kind of supernatural being, keeping his comrades away with his odd behavior. At other times, he thinks that he is the living embodiment of the Will of [[Primus]], placed by the divine in this universe to deal righteous judgment on the blasphemous. Occasionally, he just hovers silently in the background and shoots at things.

Such is life.

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Sunstorm Cartoon.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Hey mom, I'm on TV!]]
Sunstorm was one of the Decepticon jets on Cybertron four million years ago. He was part of a Decepticon patrol that accosted Autobots [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] when they came near. The two were able to escape the Decepticons' attacks and plow through the patrol, Sunstorm included. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====e-HOBBY comics=====
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as a new morning began to rise, Sunstorm appeared to bask in the rays of the sun. He enthusiastically encouraged all those around him to wake up and take a good look at the beauty of a new dawn. Unfortunately, all those around him were dead [[Autobot]]s whom he had just killed. {{storylink|Destron Aerospace Warrior Sunstorm}}

=====''Legends'' comic=====
In the late 1980s, the Decepticons attacked the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' in an attempt to steal the [[Transform Super Cog]]. Sunstorm lay in wait till the [[Jumpstarter]]s were fooled into attacking [[Megaplex]], thinking he was [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. The real Megatron sicced Sunstorm on the hapless Autobots. {{storylink|Slugslinger's Ambition}}

=====Controverse=====
When the Decepticons interceded in the trial of Primacron in early 2011, Sunstorm and [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] engaged in a bombing run to shake up the Galactic Courts. {{storylink|Controverse}}

====''Wings Universe''====
{{Wingsnote}}
As [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] breached [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s walls, Sunstorm was there with the rest of [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s forces. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

Millions of years later, Sunstorm was part of the joint [[Autobot]]/[[Decepticon]] resistance on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] against [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]] clone army. He was stationed at [[Uraya]] under the command of [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]]. Days after the city's forces were forced to retreat, Sunstorm and the others joined in an all-out assault on the Cybertronians. {{storylink|Termination}} They were successful in winning the war. {{Storylink|A Common Foe}}

====''Deviations''====
In an alternate timeline where [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] killed [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] in the [[Battle of Autobot City]], Sunstorm followed the newly upgraded [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megascream]] in his attack on [[Autobot]] shuttles leaving [[Earth]]. They were recalled back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] ate [[Moonbase One]]. {{Storylink|Transformers: Deviations|Deviations}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:BlackSunshine SunstormDescends.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|"I'm Sunstorm! I'm insane! FROM CYBERTRON."]]
[[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s experiments to fit a solar-powered fusion reactor into cloned Decepticon warriors reached their fruition in Sunstorm, a clone of the treacherous [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. Sunstorm's structure has been augmented to endure the enormous stresses involved. He was the perfect soldier; he possessed the ability to manipulate electromagnetic energy, enhanced regenerative capabilities, and a blank slate of a mind waiting to be written according to Shockwave's design.

When the Autobots took [[Iacon (polity)|New Iacon]] from Shockwave, he hurriedly uploaded the compressed contents of the supercomputer [[Vector Sigma]] to multiple locations, including the hidden cloning lab near the [[Quadrant Epsilon|Epsilon]] border where Sunstorm lay, awaiting instructions. The upload overwhelmed the lab's mainframe, spilling over into the only other available receptacle—Sunstorm. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

Fleeing the fall of New Iacon, Decepticons [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]] broke into the Epsilon lab, unaware of its importance, intending to use it as a safehouse. After Runamuck amused himself by frying the lab's [[Mini-spy]] attendant, the duo accidentally awakened Sunstorm, who fried them... rather badly before his scrambled programming compelled him to depart, making his way to Earth. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}}

[[File:BlackSunshine-SunstormStarscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|right|And thus, Starscream was rendered sterile.]]

Flying down to [[Earth]], Sunstorm approached Starscream as he was battling the Autobots. Believing himself to be on a holy mission from the [[Oracle Tank|Oracle]], he tried to get Starscream to join him in his crusade, though Starscream could barely understand his clone's meaning through his religious babbling. The Decepticons turned their weapons on Sunstorm, though he easily overpowered them, using his "divine light" to overload their systems. Sunstorm was momentarily distracted by the arrival of the ''Orion'' starship, and set about attacking the "meddlesome fools" within it, allowing Starscream to flee the scene. Sunstorm soon took note of his template's departure, and pursued him all the way back to the ''Nemesis''. Within the Decepticon base, Sunstorm demanded once more that Starscream join his holy crusade. Believing his clone to be completely insane, Starscream stalled until [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] could surprise him from behind. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} Though Jetfire was shielded from Sunstorm's radiation, the clone still held his own against the Autobot. Jetfire nonetheless managed to blast Sunstorm in the face, bringing him down... but only for a few moments, as Sunstorm began regenerating instantly. By the time Sunstorm came to, his quarry had once more disappeared, and Sunstorm tracked down Starscream back to the company of the Autobots. He took on the lot of them, bringing down another ship in the process, only for Jetfire to sneak up on him once more, allowing Bumblebee to attach an inhibitor on his back. Unable to remove the device, and with it draining his power quickly, Sunstorm was force to flee from the battlefield. He tracked down Starscream once more (who had similarly fled from the Autobots during Sunstorm's confrontation against them) and begged for his "brother's" help. Starscream refused by backhanding him. {{storylink|Skyfire (issue)|Skyfire}}

[[File:TheOmegaEffect SunstormVOmega.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|left|''Vegeta no waza da!!'']]As Sunstorm lay unconscious, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] arrived on the scene to apprehend Starscream. Unable to deal with the giant Autobot himself, Starscream destroyed the energy siphon attached to his clone, reawakening him. Omega was ultimately successful in overpowering Sunstorm in a straight fight, but when he retracted his damaged visor in order to examine his quarry, Sunstorm blasted him right in the face with a burst of solar radiation, instantly knocking him offline. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}}

Sunstorm then fled, taking Starscream with him. He uncovered an enormous well of energy deep below the ocean, sealed with a mechanical door bearing a Cybertronian symbol. As Sunstorm demanded that Starscream, the "chosen one," open the seal, the Decepticons were accosted by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and Bumblebee. Despite the Autobots' best efforts, they were unable to stop the Decepticons from entering the underground chamber, but soon caught up to them. Jetfire was able to quickly subdue Starscream, only to be left in a stand-off against Sunstorm, who held Bumblebee in his irradiated grip. Unexpectedly, Starscream turned on Sunstorm and used his recently-modified null-rays to blast his clone. Starscream then kicked Sunstorm away, sending him tumbling down a nearby chasm. {{storylink|Original Sin}}

[[File:Atonement-SunstormJAccuse.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.5|J'accuse!]]
Sunstorm dropped into the pool at the bottom of the crevice, only to re-emerge, the energies erupting from him now more volatile than ever. Having grown tired of Starscream's numerous betrayals, he denounced his "brother," claiming he had corrupted the Oracle's divine vision with his perverse ambitions. Disabling Starscream's weapons and batting him away, Sunstorm next turned to Bumblebee, and now claimed that ''he'' had now become favored by divine forces. Seeking violent reperation against the Autobot for usurping his celestial station, Sunstorm prepared to strike Bumblebee when his arm explodes... from the inside! The substance he had been submerged in previously was beginning to react with the forces within him, tearing his frame apart. Losing control of his senses, Sunstorm flew off, vowing to push the entire Earth into oblivion. Jetfire, realizing that Sunstorm's internal fusion reactor was growing increasingly unstable and would devastate the planet if it went critical, flew the zealous seeker safely into orbit. Sunstorm's reactor exploded spectacularly, completely obliterating both of them. {{storylink|Atonement}}

However, with the lack of resources, poor morale and Starscream's weak leadership, the Decepticons largely collapsed into anarchy and resorted to cannibalism with not enough [[energon]] to go around.

He was attended by a pair of Micromasters, [[Gran Arm]] and [[Crush-Bull|Crush Bull]], who came to him after the rest of their Micromaster squad had been killed. They formed a bond, and Sunstorm loved them as his own children.

When the [[Resistance]] came to Dodecahex, Sunstorm met with [[Lio Convoy]] and they reached an understanding. Sunstorm and his congregation were left alone by the Resistance, and they were free to continue their worship in peace.

Nevertheless, peace did not last the coming of the [[Vehicon Apocalypse]]. Sunstorm housed those he could inside the church, but the [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]] soon began forcing their way in. Sunstorm bade Gran Arm and Crush Bull to get his congregation to safety through the tunnels under the church.

**''ID number'': '''89'''

: ''[[The Transformers: Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]]'' Sunstorm is a [[redeco]] of the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#The Transformers|original Starscream toy]], transforming into an F-15 fighter jet. His coloration is inspired by—but not wholly accurate to for a variety of reasons—a previously-unnamed "generic" Decepticon seen in the episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". All of the factory-applied [[sticker]]s of the original mold, namely the detailing on his wings and tailins, have been replaced with [[tampograph]]s. Being a Japanese release, his spring-loaded missile launchers are fully operational.

: Sunstorm was only available with [[Hauler#Collector's Edition|Road Hauler]] in a separately-packaged set [[exclusive]] to [[e-HOBBY]]. Pre-orders for the set closed on [[May 15]], 2003, with the toys shipping out in July.

:The figure was released again in February of 2009, once again exclusive to e-HOBBY, in slightly altered packaging to coincide with TakaraTomy's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' reissue of Starscream, but this time with [[Destron Aerospace Warrior Sunstorm|an exclusive comic]] by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]]. Strangely, Sunstorm's stock picture in his e-HOBBY manga presents him with fists sporting circular peg holes similar to the one seen in the previous Transformers Collection #9 Starscream release. In Asia, a small number of remaining stock (all unopened) were dumped to many hobby shops.

: The same base sculpt is used by [[Dirge (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ramjet]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Skywarp]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thrust]], and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Thundercracker]].

:A redeco of ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' MP-11 Starscream, Sunstorm comes with redecoed versions of Starscream's coronation gear from ''The Transformers: The Movie'', including crown, twin shoulder pads, and a sculpted plastic cape (rather than a fabric one). As a redeco of the retooled MP-11 Starscream (instead of the original ''Masterpiece'' Starscream), Sunstorm features the same extensive retooling to wind his ''Masterpiece'' design back into Kawamori's original, more Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered null rays attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. Despite the similarity to the original MP-3 prototype, the retooled parts are in fact a whole new design heavily based on the original concept. Additionally, Sunstorm (like MP-11 Starscream) comes with a chromed jet pilot figure instead of [[Doctor Arkeville]].

:Unlike previous Sunstorm toys, ''Masterpiece'' Sunstorm's colors replicate his color layout as seen in his cartoon appearance, with white arm blasters, biceps, fists, and shoulder intakes. This includes a shift to a more yellow color scheme than creamsicle orange, now featuring a yellow-to-orangey yellow gradient across the surface of the jet mode and additional flame deco on his wrists and jet intakes.

:As a redeco of the MP-11 release, Sunstorm is ''likely'' to be plagued with the same quality control issues.

:If purchased from a retailer supplied by Hasbro Asia, he comes with a Sunstorm collectible coin.

: A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Starscream]] mold, ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Sunstorm transforms into a F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an F-14 Tomcat fighter jet. His missile launchers can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of his launchers (necessary [[for safety reasons]]) restricts his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. All three Rainmakers have slight tolerance issues with the white parts, making key joints juuuuuust a bit too tight.

: He was only available in a [[BotCon 2013]] [[exclusive]] souvenir set with [[Bitstream (G1)#Timelines|Bitstream]] and [[Hotlink (G1)#Timelines|Hotlink]], limited to 2500 pieces. All three toys use exactly the same [[paint operation]]s and plastic layouts, with the only difference between the three being their primary plastic color. Confusion arose when Sunstorm and his newly named companions from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" were released as a pack titled "Rainmakers". However, [[Fun Publications]] employees subsequently confirmed that the pack's title was an error, and that there was no intention to link the "welcoming committee" to the trio from "[[Divide and Conquer]]".

:The atypical inclusion of black and silver in Sunstorm's color scheme is the result of convoluted mix-ups during production. Early in the BotCon set's development, Fun Publications learned that e-HOBBY had their own plans for a ''Classics''-mold Sunstorm toy, and in deference to the character's creators, changed their own Sunstorm into a different character named "Hotlink", giving him an altered color scheme. Ultimately, e-HOBBY's Sunstorm was abandoned at TakaraTomy's request (possibly due to them erroneously believing Hasbro was still releasing the character via BotCon!), and so Fun Publications hurriedly changed their toy's identity ''back'' to being Sunstorm. However, there was insufficient time before the convention to adjust the toy's deco to match. The name "Hotlink" was reassigned to [[Hotlink (G1)|another member]] of the three-pack.<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/156054-generations-selects-brown-box-revealed-pg-7/page-9#entry3834842 Post by Fun Publications' Jesse Wittenrich on the Allspark Forums, 15 January 2019]</ref>

It is only marginally successful.

: Sunstorm was given as a freebie at [[OTFCC 2003]] to people who preregistered for [[OTFCC 2004|the next year's convention]]. He was later made available for sale through the [[3H Productions]] website.

: This mold was also used to make the [[Air Warrior#Merchandise|Air Warriors]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Skywarp]], and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thundercracker]]. The base mold with some new parts was used to make [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Ramjet]] and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Thrust]].

*A common piece of [[fanon]] identified the all-yellow [[Rainmaker]] as the partially yellow Sunstorm. However, even taking into consideration the haphazard coloring typically given to generic Seekers, chances were not in favour of their being the same guy.

Peace through merchandising!

==Wireless Microphone==
[[File:MegsMicrophone.jpg|thumb|Die kids construction — it's a lost art.]]
* '''Megatron''' (Nasta, 1984)
:One of the earliest pieces of Megatron merchandise is also one of the strangest. Taking the form of Megatron's Walther P-38 gun mode — itself quite controversial and anachronistic due to [[For safety reasons|recent safety regulations]] — the microphone allows children to broadcast their voices to a nearby AM radio by pointing the gun at their mouth (at the rear sight, not the ''barrel muzzle'' at least) and speaking into it.

:'''''Seriously'''''.

==Collegeville Costumes==
[[File:Megatron collegeville costume.jpg|thumb|<insert questionable joke about package description here>]]
*'''Megatron''' (1984)
:Although [[Collegeville Costumes]] only released a small number of Transformers costumes, and made some odd choices for characters to depict in the process, Megatron was an obvious choice as one of their first releases. The costume consists of a thin plastic facemask based directly on the original Megatron toy's head, and in time-worn, super-crappy tradition, a red and white plastic smock decorated not with the details of Megatron's body, but with his package art and the Transformers logo.

:Small rubber figurines of Megatron and Optimus Prime came packaged with a pencil they could perch on the end of.

*'''Megatron''' (1985)
:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''— of Megatron was released as part of the second wave of [[Kabaya]]'s ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]] range. He came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in red, blue and yellow.

==Transformers Gum==

*'''Megatron''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' High-density infra-red laser cannon
:A snap-together transformable model kit of Megatron was available as part of the second wave of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of his original toy, the kit was made out of grey and black plastic, featuring stickers for detail, and came with a stick of gum. Like the original Japanese release of his toy, Megatron lacks his fusion cannon, armed merely with his infra-red laser cannon accessory.

:A large ''keshigomu'' of Megatron was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Megatron figure came with removable laser cannon and sword accessories, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced an Optimus Prime figure in the same scale, and both Megatron and he were available in red, yellow or green.

==Decoy==
*'''Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)[[File:Decoy megatron.jpg|thumb]]

:Megatron was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Decepticons in the series, Megatron was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. As the figure is a Japanese creation, it's particularly notable for the fact that it lacks Megatron's signature fusion cannon, just as his original Japanese toy release did, instead sculpting him with his hand-held laser cannon and Japanese-exclusive sword.

:Megatron was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, as well as being included as one of several possible random Decepticon figures included as playing tokens with the "Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game", and in a variety of different colours via "gachapon" capsule machines. Later, [[Seven]] made him available in a peach coloration, randomly included in a variety of multi-packs.

*'''Megatron''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''32'''

: The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (32, in Megatron's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]], and was, very early on in the promotion, available in an alternate red coloration that was only packed in with the Throttlebots. Unsurprisingly, this red figurine is much rarer.

*'''Megatron''' (1990)

:A small non-transforming [[super deformed]] model kit of Megatron was available as part of Kabaya's "[[Parody Deformed]]" line of candy toys. The third figure in the series, Megatron was part of the larger class of kits, and as such is made from three colors of plastic (white, grey and blue) with eye and Decepticon symbol stickers for detail. He came with a "[[PDTF Comic]]" comic about himself—"Don't Cry! Megatron!!"—and a stick of chewing gum.

: It was ''presumably'' released at a ratio of one per every ten cases; while this has not been officially confirmed, later waves gave these odds for Secret Figures. It is also ''presumed'' to have replaced the regular Megatron in the lucky case (color or clear, well, that's less certain).

:Megatron got another chase figure in the third ''Super Collection Figure'' Act. Based on the scene in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where Megatron is reincarnated as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], "Reincarnation Megatron" (転生メガトロン ''tensei megatoron'') is cast in transparent plastic with a light purple hue and gold sparkles inside, and given grid patterns on his lower body. It was presumably packed at a ratio of one per ten cases.

:It needs to be noted that there are a significant number of [[knockoff|bootlegs]] of this figure. Thankfully, most have a very obvious tell: the real figure has a white Decepticon symbol, while the knockoffs have a purple symbol.

*'''Megatron (B)''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Megatron's left arm was changed to feature [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] perching on it. His feet have also been painted bright white rather than the body-matching light gray of the original. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Megatron was available in both standard full color and metallic silver "pewter" versions, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

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

:In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Megatron came packaged with the right arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured a [[retool]]ed version of Prime wielding Megatron's gun mode, now sold at mass-retail rather than being a chase figure. Unlike the chase one, Prime also came with an interchangeable empty fist, so he doesn't ''have'' to wield Megatron. His right arm has also been tooled to be straight-elbowed, and his left hand is now clenched. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in a 1:1 ratio per case.

:In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version came with the head for the wave's [[Grand Maximus#Super Collection Figure|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure.

==Heroes of Cybertron==
[[File:HOC Megatron.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Megatron''' (2002)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron#Heroes of Cybertron|Heroes of Cybertron]]'', this figure is functionally the same as the first ''Super Collection Figure'' Megatron. Like all the standard ''Heroes'' figures, he is cast in transparent plastic, then painted over, save for the eyes and a small patch on the back of his head, giving him a [[light-piping]] gimmick. However, there are a few other tiny deco differences, most importantly (and noticeable) being the addition of a black circle on the muzzle of his back-mounted gun barrel, and the back of his midsection is painted light gray rather than red like the ''SCF''. He's also a cooler super-light-gray than the ''SCF'' figure.

: There is a [[variant|running change variant]] of this figure, which adds a bit of red paint to the raised bit on the back of Megatron's fusion cannon, a detail from the animation model missing from the ''SCF'' Megatrons.

: Megatron was re-released in 2006 as part of a short-lived ''Heroes of Cybertron'' revival, celebrating the 2006 DVD release of the original ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. This version was cast in opaque off-white plastic and is virtually identical to the original ''SCF'' Megatron, with the unpainted back-barrel and red-painted mid-back. At best, in certain lights the 2006 ''Heroes'' version is an ever so slightly warmer light gray plastic than the ''SCF''.

{{-}}{{anchor|HOCmace}}
[[File:HOC Megatron Mace.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|All flail Megatron]]
* '''Megatron''' (2002)

: Released in the second wave, this version of Megatron is a mass-release variation of the chase figure from the first ''SCF'' Act, replacing his right hand with a clear-plastic energy flail. His left hand is the clenched fist of the later "Laserbeak" version of Megatron, instead of the open-hand the chase figure had. This version also keeps the paint additions from the previous version of the figure, always having the red-dotted cannon.

: Oddly, he comes with the same collector card as the first version, and the packaging does not call out the energy weapon in any way. The card-back cross-sell even shows only the original Megatron. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Optimus Prime]].)

* '''Megatron with Laserbeak''' (2003)

: The fifth-wave Megatron figure is a release of the Megatron/[[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron)|Laserbeak]] figure from the fourth ''SCF'' Act. He keeps the paint alterations of the energy-mace Megatron, though his black paint is much glossier this time around. Laserbeak's grays are also much lighter than on the SCF, matching Megatron's main body coloring.

: The collector card does not list Laserbeak on the front, but does mention him at the end of a severely truncated version of the first card's [[bio]].

: This release came with the right arm for the wave's collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Metroplex]] build-a-figure.

{{toydesigner|[[Little IroN]] (concept artist), [["Mad" Alterton]] (sculptor), [[Leandro Sivori]] (painter)}}

:The first entry in the ''Transformers Battlefield'' line by model company [[First 4 Figures]], this 13-inch tall diorama depicts Optimus Prime slugging it out with Megatron. Megatron comes with a "REP" (Replaceable Exterior Part) of a battle damaged version of his head, which features a detachable "helmet" to show off his exposed robo-brain. Optimus is posed as though doing a shoulder shove while holding his ion blaster, but a provided REP hand allows buyers to instead recontexualise the pose as a spinning backhand slap.

:The model was limited to 1,850 pieces worldwide, and came with a numbered certificate of authenticity, which allowed buyers to reserve the same number on their next purchase in the series. It also came with an A4 mini-poster depicting the same fight between Optimus and Megatron by artist [[Little IroN]], which was also sold separately as a limited edition A2 poster.

:As a ''Transformers Battlefield'' release, this model featured a detailed base designed to interlock with others in the same range to create a massive battle diorama. Unfortunately, a general discontinuation of First 4 Figures' ''Transformers''-related output put the kibosh on any further ''Battlefield'' models.

:Megatron was available as a limited order item, where Japanese customers had until November 27, 2020 to reserve their copy. The item was shipped for buyers on February 2, 2021.

*'''Megatron''' (2020)
**''Accessories'': Fusion Cannon, Energon Mace, 4 additional hands
{{toydesigner|[[Emiliano Santalucia]] (concept artist)}}

:Released as part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers R.E.D.]]'' line, Megatron is a non-transforming 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from Hasbro's ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'' and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] The Black Series'' lines. He features 23 points of articulation and extensive paint operations for [[show-accuracy]].

:Megatron comes with a whopping ''five'' interchangeable left hands: a closed fist, a hand to hold weapons or accessories (not included), a pointing hand, an open hand for gesturing, and a hand permanently molded to an [[Energon cube]]. His right fist is also removable; both wrists are compatible with his [[Energon mace]] accessory. His Fusion Cannon however cannot be removed from his right forearm.

:Unfortunately, Megatron's harder, unpaintable joints are prone to photodegradation.

:As with all ''R.E.D.'' toys, Megatron was a Walmart exclusive in Canada and the United States, and was later made available on [[Hasbro Pulse]] in limited quantities.

**''Accessories'': Regular head, control helmet head, Energon-drinking head, antimatter chest, laser sword, blaster, Kremzeek, 6 hands, hand with Energon cube, chemical flask, [[Pearl of Bahoudin]], 2 energy maces

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers ULTIMATES!]]'' from [[Super7]], Megatron is an 8-inch-tall non-transforming figure. Despite his retro look, he has ''way'' more articulation than the original, including multi-directional joints at the neck, shoulders, wrists, hips, and ankles; plus swivel biceps, elbows, knees, and a bit of ab crunch. He even has an opening chest with pictures of antimatter cubes behind it, as seen in the end of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode "[[Roll for It]]". His hands pop out at the wrists so they can be replaced with his additional spare hands or other accessories.

: Among said accessories are some that have by now been included frequently with Megatron figures, such as his energy mace (here provided with both straight and curved chain versions), the blaster and laser sword from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', as well as [[Kremzeek]]. More innovative accessories include an alternate head with the control helmet from "[[Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target]]", a half-empty energon cube and drunkenly-grinning alternate head meant to represent the drinking scene in "[[Microbots]]", the Pearl of Bahoudin from "[[Trans-Europe Express]]", and the chemical flask that Megatron is shown throwing at [[Gregory Swofford]] in "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1]]" (deep cut!).

: The ''Optimus Prime vs. Megatron'' set also includes [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#MTGSLD|Optimus Prime]], [[AllSpark#Magic: The Gathering|The AllSpark]], and the bonus card [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

:*''Accessories'': Stand, [[Fusion cannon]], [[Energon mace]], Laser Sword, [[Key to Vector Sigma]], Laser Pistol, 2 alternate faces, alternate chest

:Released as the first figure Yolopark's AMK Pro line, Megatron comes in pre-assembled modules as opposed to traditional model kit runners. This allows him to be assembled quickly and easily without tools. Unlike Yolopark's regular AMK line, the AMK Pro line features diecast parts and light-up features. In Megatron's case, his eyes will light up when tapping his head with a magnet and his Fusion cannon will light up with the press of a button. His eyes require 1 CR927 battery and his fusion cannon requires 3 AG1 batteries, neither of which are included.

:The figure was originally part of a Kickstarter campaign before reaching full release later in the year. Curiously, the prototype pictured at the time and even early review copies sent out had a different head sculpt which was refined for the final product. An "angry" alternate face was also swapped out in favor of a more detailed "neutral" face.

:The ''AMK Mini Series'' Megatron is a smaller version of the character and features swappable hand parts. While he already had his fusion cannon, Megatron's default fists/item-holding hands still can accommodate some of the weapons from the same line.

:Note that the connection between the waist peg and the torso can feel slightly too tight, which gives the impression that it ''might'' potentially break when turned. If anyone is concerned, you can lightly sand the peg to alleviate the issue.

:The "Megatron" Blade features a picture of Megatron on its central Gear Chip and is largely a retool of the mainline ''Beyblade X'' Blade "Scythe Incendio", sporting a largely similar metal section with Megatron-themed details and an unaltered plastic underframe. The "4-80" Ratchet and "B" ("Ball") Bit of this Beyblade are recolored parts from other ''Beyblade X'' tops.

:While the completed Beyblade is labeled as Stamina Type, the "Megatron" Blade is individually labeled on the back of the packaging as Balance Type, due to being a retool of the Balance Type Blade "Scythe Incendio".

:Megatron 4-80B was only available in a two-pack with [[Optimus_Prime_(G1)/merchandise#Beyblade_X|Optimus Prime 4-60P]] as an Amazon exclusive.

:''Ultra Magnus is an evil [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:BotCon2012 UltraMagnus CardArt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Ever since it was a young dimension, the [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon|Classicsverse]] has been hated by skeletons.]]

To say '''Ultra Magnus''' is two-faced would be an understatement. Despite his bloodlust and ferocity on the battlefield, he grows quickly bored with the tedium of war. He is a master at understanding and applying the law, yet he doesn't have a single ethical circuit in his own body. He may try to hide these qualities behind weak protestations or friendly banter, but he can't keep it up for long. Eventually, these traits always alienate the [[Treadshot (SG)|few]] [[Shockwave (SG)|friends]] he has made, and Magnus takes those rejections ''very'' personally, showing them the full extent of his cruelty. However, he is a competent leader, whether leading his own personal strike team, the [[Wreckers]], or gathering [[Hound (SG)|supporters]] among the larger Autobot ranks.

His sadistic nature and short fuse inevitably lead him to conflict with his supposed master, [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]]. Despite their at times brotherly relationship, Magnus chafes under Prime's command. He's grown tired of his commander's complacent leadership, throwing soldiers at problems with no greater goals or strategy. If Optimus can't provide Ultra Magnus the kind of ''creative'' war that he seeks, he'll just have to replace him, and create it himself. No matter how he may try and [[hologram|mask]] it, his horrifying skull-like visage perfectly reflects the monstrous [[spark]] within.

[[File:Invasion-Magnusportal.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|By destroying a [[Marvel Comics|Marvel universe]], SG Magnus will finally prove [[FIRRIB]].]]
With the help of [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]], Ultra Magnus was sprung from prison on Paradron, along with [[Wreck-Gar (SG)|Wreck-Gar]] and his [[Junkion (species)#Shattered Glass|Junkions]]. After augmenting his body to match Optimus Prime's recent upgrade, gathering an army, and acquiring the legendary [[Terminus Blade]], Magnus had the means to both humiliate his brother and make his mark on the multiverse. Before jumping through a portal into another universe via Wheeljack's [[space bridge|Stellar Spanner]], Magnus boasted of his imminent victory before his brother via video feed. This would prove to be Magnus's only mistake, as Optimus Prime forwarded Ultra Magnus's whereabouts to his obsessive nemesis, Treadshot.

Ultra Magnus and his army appeared in the sky over the [[Ironworks (facility)|Ironworks]] base on [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon]]'s [[Earth]]. After most of the heroic Autobot opposition outside were corrupted and integrated into Magnus's army as Junkions, Ultra Magnus led them inside Ironworks, where he made quick work of a second wave. Complete victory was interrupted only by the arrival of Treadshot's heroic Decepticons through a portal. Though initially aggravated, Magnus quickly became elated when he saw Treadshot had come for him. However, Magnus's primary objective remained, so he used the Terminus Blade to send himself and his officers elsewhere.

[[File:Invasion-whatistha.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|You two shall pay dearly for ruining my special day.]]
Below, Wheeljack had erected machinery that would direct the [[Rarified Energon]] that Ironworks guarded to the surface, where it would interact with a space bridge projector that, with the introduction of the Terminus Blade, would open up a rift in space time which would help Magnus destroy... a lot. As Magnus battled Treadshot above ground, the machinery below was guarded by force field. [[Soundwave (SG)|Sir Soundwave]] and [[Octopunch (SG)|Octopunch]] managed to expand the perimeter of the force field to be large enough to protect the entire Earth, which they thought would save the day. However, Ultra Magnus had been thinking bigger, as he had planned to destroy the entire universe. Ultimately, Earth was protected as it was brought into orbit over his own universe's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as the entire rest of the Earth's universe was catastrophically destroyed by the chain reaction of Rarified Energon. Content in his largely unimpeded victory, Magnus and his army fled, while Treadshot threatened lovingly graphic revenge. {{storylink|Invasion Prologue}} {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

Unknown to Ultra Magnus at the time, his [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|positive universe counterpart]] survived the destruction and made his way into the negative polarity universe as well. {{storylink|Shattered Time}}

[[File:AnotherLight-choppitychop.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|First his face, then his arm... where will it all end?]]
Ultra Magnus and his followers continued their efforts to harness the power of the Terminus Blade. Wheeljack's efforts with [[forestonite]] proved unsatisfying, so they constructed a [[Collector]] on positive-Earth designed to feed off of the destruction of entire universes. Magnus confronted his heroic doppelgänger, now called Ultra Mammoth, who was in possession of his own artifact of the [[Thirteen]], the [[Origin Matrix]]. Mammoth initially bested Magnus, but his hesitation to kill left him open to a counterstrike by Ultra Magnus. He cut open Mammoth's chest and caused the Matrix and Blade to make contact. {{storylink|Distant Fissures}}

The Terminus Blade was fully recharged by the opposing relic, granting Ultra Magnus tremendous power and dimension-carving abilities. He gloried in his power for only a short time, however, before the arrival of [[Nexus Prime]]. One of the Thirteen original Primes, Nexus bound the Origin Matrix to the other pieces of the shattered [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], reassembling [[Prima|Prima's]] great weapon. He literally disarmed Ultra Magnus to retrieve the Terminus Blade, claiming both Blade and Saber for himself. Ultra Magnus tried to flee from his opponent, but Nexus Prime cast open a dimensional warp, banishing Magnus to a dimension suitable for his imprisonment. {{storylink|Restoration}} {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

===IDW ''Shattered Glass'' comic===
Before the Great War, Ultra Magnus was a socially ungifted bureaucrat, hiding his twisted skull-like visage behind a [[hologram]] cloak, one that collapsed in bouts of great emotion. Extremely knowledge about Cybertronian law, Magnus became an unofficial legal advisor to [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Orion Pax]], allowing the ambitious Senator to know the limits of his power plays. This situation caused his strained friend, Senator [[Shockwave (SG)|Shockwave]], to visit Magnus and attempt to make him see sense before [[Goldbug (SG)|Bumblebee]] barged into to ask about police procedures on behalf of Pax. Some time later, Ultra Magnus assisted Pax in the formation of a [[Wreckers#Shattered Glass|special squad]] that would be "capable of bringing true order to Cybertron", and found himself being forcibly promoted to its leader. Though Magnus offered some token protestations, Pax bluntly called out his secret love for power and told him to pick out a name for his new squad.

Magnus later crossed paths with Shockwave again, after Magnus' squad had chased away reports hounding the Senator. Though Magnus attempted to keep the peace between his old friend and subordinates, Shockwave's barbs caused [[Impactor (SG)|Impactor]] to lose his temper and threaten to fight Shockwave himself. Magnus continued his attempts at peace brokering but one final quip from [[Kup (SG)|Kup]] about not being able to find a law for the situation fully sent him over the edge. His hologram glitching and breaking, Magnus grabbed Kup by the shoulder and brutally hurled him into Impactor, dazing the former and causing massive damage to the latter. Reeling from his outburst, Ultra Magnus was given one last barb from Shockwave as he left, whether or not Magnus was actually unable to calm the situation or just unwilling to admit he secretly didn't want to. This seemed to strike a chord within Magnus, as he told [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]] to leave the damaged Impactor, and that there would be some changes.

After removing Impactor from the squad, Ultra Magnus named the group as the "Wreckers", defending his organizational changes to Pax by all the legal paperwork noting that he, not Pax, was the official team leader. Impressed by this assertiveness, Pax ordered the Wreckers to launch a terrorist attack on the [[Senate]]. When the Wreckers reached the Senate floor, Magnus personally ripped [[Ratbat (SG)|Ratbat]] in two, calling out a challenge to Shockwave as he did so. As Shockwave emerged, the lawman taunted the Senator with his refusal to be logical and just save himself, with Shockwave for his part attempting to appeal to Magnus's inner goodness in a futile attempt to get him to stand down. Magnus simply told Shockwave not to be so honest about how much he was being hurt, remarking that was how Pax got inside his own head in the first place, and proceeded to beat his former friend into stasis. At Pax's order, Ultra Magnus carried the prone Shockwave off to undergo [[empurata]], claiming he was somewhat jealous of Shockwave's impending personality shift. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}}

After the war that followed ended with the defeat of the Decepticons and the fracturing of the Autobot forces, Magnus placed several agents across Cybertron to keep his abreast of any new developments. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 5|Shattered Glass #5}} {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 2|Shattered Glass II #2}} Not long before the fall of [[Kaon (polity)|Gold City]], Ultra Magnus and his Wreckers were amongst the [[bodyscrapper]]s who faced off against Blurr for the bounty on the head of [[Sixshot (SG)|Sixshot]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 1|Shattered Glass #1}} Once Gold City had fallen, Slicer (formerly Wheeljack) reported on the fall of the city to [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]] and his Decepticons, as well as Goldbug making off with [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]]'s spark. Though unconcerned about the Decepticon taking back the city, he worried about the paradigm shift that could occur if Goldbug managed to reactivate the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Metroplex (SG)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 5|Shattered Glass #5}}
[[File:SG Magnus.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2|OPTIMUS HAS FALLEN! I, ULTRA MAGNUS, AM THE NEW LEADER OF THE AUTOBOTS!!!!!]]
Ultra Magnus would soon rendezvous with Slicer and the other Wreckers and journey to [[Iacon (polity)|Pax]] for a meeting with Optimus Prime regarding recent events. They were stopped by [[Sunstreaker (SG)|Sunstreaker]] and [[Whirl (SG)|Whirl]], who attempted to cite the relevant laws before being intimidated by Magnus. Sunstreaker soon reported that Ultra Magnus would be taken directly to Optimus, though he was only allowed a single member of his team to accompany him. The other Wreckers bristled at this news, but were stopped by Magnus, who accepted the terms and told [[Jazz (SG)|Jazz]] to accompany him and suggested the others use Whirl as a guide to what the city had to offer.

Once in the throne room, Ultra Magnus attempted to convince a bored Prime of the danger now posed by both the Decepticons' new foothold in Gold City as well as Goldbug being off the grid with an awakened Titan under his control. Optimus, however, simply dismissed these concerns as unimportant, a response that prompted Jazz to claim that the only reason Optimus got this far was because of Ultra Magnus. Magnus then had to play damage control after Optimus struck Jazz, telling the warlord his men simply got restless from time to time.

Once dismissed from their audience, Ultra Magnus chastised Jazz over his outburst, telling him he needed patience. He went over Optimus's orders, which were simply for the Wreckers and his soldiers to simultaneously face off against Prowl, the Decepticons, ''and'' Goldbug's Titan. Unimpressed by this plan, Ultra Magnus surmised decisive action would be needed, and gave his Wreckers the signal. Turning his forces against the palace guards, Magnus went to confront the Prime himself, shedding his hologram and derisively calling the warlord Orion once more. Though the Prime held the early advantage, Magnus managed to damage his right arm, allowing him to turn the tide, charging at the Prime in alternate mode and furiously declaring that Optimus owed all his successes to Magnus. When Optimus Prime managed to remain online, Magnus slammed his foot down on his former master's chest, disabling him, as the Wreckers made it to the throne room. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 1|Shattered Glass II #1}}

Still plagued by self-confidence issues however, Ultra Magnus did not believe he could lead the Autobots as himself, instead conspiring to steal Optimus's body. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}} After being repaired, Optimus was brought to Metroplex, {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 4|Shattered Glass II #4}} where his [[spark]] was extracted and Magnus's placed within the Prime's body. As he adjusted to his new body, Magnus was confronted by [[Soundwave (SG)|Soundwave]] and [[Wheeljack (SG)|Slicer]], ordering the latter to dispose of the former before Metroplex stumbled, Magnus being buried under debris. By the time Magnus recovered, [[Jetfire (SG)|Jetfire]] had removed [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]]'s spark from Metroplex's power core, sending the Titan falling. With a furious vengeance, Magnus confronted Soundwave only to be shot through the chest by Slicer before he could deliver the killing blow, sending him tumbling out of the Titan's shattered optic. {{storylink|Shattered Glass II issue 5|Shattered Glass II #5}}

Like Prime, Magnus features a rub sign on his roof, and has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows, which is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro, original tooling), [[Mark Maher]] (Hasbro, deco and retooling)}}

: The first release in the second assortment of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'', Ultra Magnus is a new-head redeco of ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Ultra Magnus]], itself a retool of ''Siege'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]]. He transforms into a car-carrier truck in 28 steps. Magnus is a Voyager-sized figure who makes up the cab, with the trailer becoming [[Super Mode]] armor, like the original [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Ultra Magnus]] toy. Magnus uses an alternative skull-head sculpt based on the original ''Shattered Glass'' character's design, planted in the ''Kingdom'' Ultra Magnus mold set designed by [[John Warden]]. He also features several 3 mm posts (for [[Fire Blast effect|blast effects]]) and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Ultra Magnus comes with the missile launchers and blaster from the original ''Kingdom'' release, as well as ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Legacy|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s Energon sword, Energon axe, and Matrix of Leadership, now mostly cast in translucent red plastic. Though he includes a Matrix, he has neither a chest chamber nor articulated hands. The Matrix can be plugged into the pommel of the Terminus Blade. As SG Magnus' light-piping eyes are molded in the same translucent red, they're ultimately neutered by comic-accurate blue paint. The Energon Sword cannot be wielded by Magnus, due to the protruding tab meant for the Laser Optimus Prime mold ... then again, there is ''no'' storage port for Magnus himself, you can shave it off if desired.

:As with the original mold, this Ultra Magnus is ''not'' designed to transport Deluxe/Legends Class cars. The shoulder missile launchers should not be fully inserted before attaching the shoulder to the inner robot, as these can prevent the pieces from being fully inserted.

: Ultra Magnus also includes a redeco of the original ''Kingdom'' toy's head, giving you the option of re-purposing the figure as "''Diaclone'' [[Delta Magnus]]", as noted by the toy's designer [[Mark Maher]] when promoting the toy for a [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First <s>Friday</s> Tuesday]]. Maher also described the inner robot as decoed after [[Magna Convoy]].<ref>[[April 14]], [[2022]] [https://youtu.be/6MExpXH9zAg Fan First Tuesday | BACK-TO-BACK Transformers & Power Rangers Livestream], with [[Isabella Weiss]], [[Rachel Fleming]], [[Mark Maher]], and [[Takio Ejima]].</ref> That said, only Ultra Magnus's name is on the box, and the toy's head swap gimmick is worked into the plot of the included comic. While the ''Shattered Glass'' skull-head can be popped on and off with some ease, it goes unmentioned in the instructions that the Delta head requires unscrewing to actually complete the swap.

: Like the rest of the ''Shattered Glass Collection'' line, Ultra Magnus is exclusive to [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the [[United States of America|United States]], [[United Kingdom]], and [[Canada]]. If purchased through Hasbro Pulse, the toy is shipped with the [[Shattered Glass II issue 1|first issue]] of ''Shattered Glass II'',<ref>Hasbro Pulse [https://twitter.com/HasbroPulse/status/1513908328405086217/ Twitter]: "Check out the first issue of the Shattered Glass #comicbook miniseries, “War of the Titan,” with an exclusive variant cover included with this figure!"</ref> with an exclusive cover featuring spot UV.

==Notes==
[[File:UltraMagnusSG-FromTheEditorsDesk.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|Okay, but where's the translucent skull?]]
*Ultra Magnus's appearance in [[2008]]'s [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 22|''Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club'' #22]] (within a "[[Mini Mayhem!]]"-style comic featuring a version of ''Shattered'' Magnus appeared in "From the Editor's Desk..." along with [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] and [[Eric Siebenaler]]) looks remarkably different from his later appearances. The inclusion of Ultra Magnus (with [[Delta Magnus#Notes|Powered Convoy]] colors) in this comic continuity was in repayment of a favor from the author to [[Randy Para]], who is often known online as "[[user:Poweredconvoy|Powered Convoy]]".
*Years later when he got to receive a toy at BotCon 2012, his colors were originally those of his counterpart's [[e-HOBBY]] [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)#Post-Generation 2 releases|Generation 2]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)#G2|toy]], but concerns with having the same exclusive idea as someone else got to feature Powered Convoy's color back instead. <ref>{{citesocial|quote=Originally SG Magnus was pitched as being a miniature version of eHobby's Laser Magnus. Optimus face & all. There was concern about copying someone's exclusive, so the Delta Magnus colors were chosen instead.|link=https://twitter.com/JesseWittenrich/status/1418254080452009991|name=Jesse Wittenrich|site=Twitter|year=2021|month=07|day=22}}</ref>
** While his head was initially conceived for an unrealized Nemesis Prime toy, the team doing Ultra Magnus choose to incorporate it in the resulting toy.<ref>{{citesocial|quote=At that same time, Hasbro revealed the skeleton face they had designed for an unrealized Nemesis Prime face. It looked cool & very distinct, so it was added to the mock-up as well. Add in a jab at Movie Optimus Prime taking faces and... SG Ultra Magnus was born!|link=https://twitter.com/JesseWittenrich/status/1418254085858414592|name=Jesse Wittenrich|site=Twitter|year=2021|month=07|day=22}}</ref>
*In [[Fun Publications]]' ''Shattered Glass'' stories, Ultra Magnus used to look like [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)#Universe (2003)|"Battle in a Box" Ultra Magnus]]. When the "Invasion" comic's creative team was asked if they were actually the same guy versus being a [[repurposing]], the simultaneous answer was "Sure", "Yes", and "No". Somebody's a spoilsport. The Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would later clarify the "Battle in a Box" Ultra Magnus toy as primarily a version of Unicron Trilogy [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]].
*In [[IDW Publishing]]'s [[Shattered Glass issue 5|''Shattered Glass'' #5]], Ultra Magnus is drawn as a straight recoloring of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Leader Class [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]]. Evidently, plans for the ''Kingdom''-styled Ultra Magnus toy in ''Shattered Glass Collection'' had not been finalized at the time of writing.

Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise

{{suite}}

'''Bumblebee''' has a lot of merchandise.

==Happy Meal Toy==
[[File:1985 happymeal bumblebee.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (1985)

:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Bumblebee and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Cliffjumper, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]], and [[Brawn (G1)/toys|Brawn]]) comprised the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]], but alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Caramel bumblebee.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Bumble''' (1985)
:A soft rubber figurine—known in Japan as a ''keshigomu''— of Bumblebee was released as part of the first wave of [[Kabaya]]'s earliest [[candy toy]] line, ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]''. Based more on his toy than his animation model, Bumblebee came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies, and was available in various colours, including white, blue, sky blue, yellow, green, and orange.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
*'''Bumble''' (1985)
:A small solid-color, transforming snap-together model kit of Bumblebee was released as part of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line of candy toys.
{{-}}

==Estrela==
[[File:Volks-JogoDosTransformers.jpg|thumb|250px]]
*'''Jogo dos Transformers''' (1985)
:A tiny generic yellow car representing "Volks" (Bumblebee per his original toy name in Brazil) was included as a pawn in [[Estrela]]'s ''[[Jogo dos Transformers]]'' board game. He is not directly named, simply being called the "carrinho amarelo" (little yellow car) in the game's instructions, but his identity is revealed as a pair of cards featuring art of his original toy in vehicle mode are also included. He comes with a small sticker that's placed on the bottom of the car representing his robot mode, thus allowing him to roughly "transform" by being placed vertically - a little bit like what [[Robot Powered Machines]] would do about a pair of decades later.

:This same car was recolored to represent [[Windcharger (G1)#Estrela|Camaro (AKA Windcharger)]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Estrela|Carrera (AKA Cliffjumper)]], and [[Sedan (Robocar)|Sedan]] in the same board game.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy bumblebee.jpg|thumb|Fun fact, this was the last piece of Bumblebee merchandise we'd get up until the next decade and a half. Things sure changed...]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 9''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Dinosaurer Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Bumblebee was among the many characters rendered by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] as part of their series of 1.5" ''keshigomu'' figurines. Like all the Autobots in the series, Bumblebee was molded in soft red rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his [[Tech Spec]]s, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Bumblebee was available as part of a nine-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Dinosauruer Strategy Game and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Bumblebee''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''26'''

:The Bumblebee figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (26, in Bumblebee's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

==Super Collection Figure==

*'''Bumble''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:A 2-inch PVC of Bumblebee with his best human friend [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Spike]] was released in the third "Act" of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Super Collection Figure]]'' series. He carries the tiny little pistol he had in the opening of "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]". The figure was available in both full color and clear plastic versions, one of each available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Bumblebee came packaged with the torso of the Act's collectible "build-a-figure" [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Fortress Maximus]]. This part could also be either full-color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal 1:1 ratio.

: In one out of every ten cases (that didn't have a Fortress Maximus part), the clear version of Bumblebee was replaced with the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise#SCFdamage|battle-damaged Optimus Prime]] "[[chase figure|Secret Figure]]".

[[File:HOC Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Both of Spike's thumbs got stung by bees before the photo was taken.]]
*'''Autobot Espionage Team''' (2003)

:The Bumblebee and Spike figurines were later sold in the fourth wave of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron (toyline)|Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line, but since Hasbro didn't have the [[trademark]] on Bumblebee's name at the time, the set was simply collectively named the "Autobot Espionage Team". This version of the duo was cast in clear-blue plastic then painted over, with Bumblebee's eyes and the back of his head unpainted to attempt a [[light-piping]] gimmick.

: The pair were sold on a blister card, packaged with a character card and the right leg of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

*'''Bumblebee''' (metallic chrome exclusive, 2004)

:''[[Titanium Series]]'' Bumblebee is a small, 3-inch mostly-die-cast-metal statue of the little guy in a design that's surprisingly close to the original toy, with two wheels on each arm, a plate behind his head and sculpted details on his legs that are also based on the original toy. The only part where the cartoon model is given a preference is the head, including the face.

:''Titanium'' Bumblebee has joints at the waist, neck and shoulders, plus a removable pistol. He even comes with a little Autobot-sigil display base.

:This sculpt would've been used to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]], but the ''Titanium'' line was canceled before that figure could be released.

*'''Slumblebee''' (2007)

:Slumblebee is, as his name suggests, a plush Bumblebee toy based on his original [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] form. Obviously he has no problems with articulation and passes the drop test with flying colors. You can transform him into his car mode (which is totally '''''not''''' a Beetle, as far as Volkswagen can prove) by turning him inside out. Truly he is a new zenith of cuteness.

*'''''Transformers'' Easter egg''' (2022)
**''Accessories:'' Egg holder/obstacle piece

:D'elicce's 2022 ''Transformers'' egg included a toy of an evergreen Bumblebee car with the robot mode head sticking out of the roof, creating the illusion that Bumblebee is driving himself.

:The car is made of pure yellow plastic (except for the wheels which are black) and is completely hollow underneath due to the egg being stored inside of it in-packaging. It does come with a curved piece made of black plastic attached to its underside that helps to keep the egg in place, but it's not supposed to stay attached after removing the egg since it prevents the car from touching the ground with its own wheels. The piece can be loosely stuck inside the car for improvised storage, but it's clearly not designed to attach in any other way. Instead, the piece itself features a phrase (written in Portuguese) embossed on its inner side suggesting that it should be used as an "obstacle" for the car to play with. Hey, at least they tried to get creative with it. Meanwhile, an Autobot logo is embossed on the outer side of the piece.

:The toy features no paint applications and instead comes with a sticker sheet with 16 stickers—including the car's front grille, headlights, windows and decorative stripes—and instructions on where to apply them. Attention must be paid while applying the stickers, however, as the instructions incorrectly show the headlights and the rear side windows being applied to the opposite side to the one they were actually intended. The transparent plastic used as packaging tries (and fails) to give the impression that the windows come pre-applied, but in reality only the robot's face actually comes as a pre-applied sticker.

:The 2023 version of D'elicce's Bumblebee is a big-headed robot mode figure made entirely of two pieces of yellow plastic. Opening the figure in half reveals a chocolate egg and a sticker sheet inside. As was the case with the previous release, only the face comes with a pre-applied sticker, while the stickers for the chest, arms and legs must be applied manually. The stickers for the arms feature noticeable movie-style Autobot insignias.

:Bumblebee's chest plate can be removed to reveal details meant to represent his "inner workings".

:Released in the third wave of ''Galaxy Version'' line of blind boxes, [[Blokees]] Bumblebee is a roughly 4-inches tall, highly-articulated, and non-transforming snap-on model kit of the Autobot Scout. He is built on a "Standard Body" skeleton shared with other Blokees figures in the line, but with different body pieces to make them distinct. As advertised in the box, Bumblebee has a pull rate of 1 in every 9 boxes, or three times across four cases. Unlike the previous line's Cliffjumper, Bumblebee features a color-coded head construction instead of a 2-piece head with pre-painted eyes.

:Bumblebee comes with a pair of closed and open hands and a left hand molded in a thumbs-up exclusive to this figure. He also comes with his own Autobot pistol and its respective blast effect, an Energon Cube, and a communications monitor that either of the closed hands can wield. However, it's recommended plugging the piece onto one of his forearms (the arms must be swapped and the forearms rotated to show its peghole.). Bumblebee also comes with a stand with four studs on top, which can be plugged into and connected to similar stands.

The '''Outta Controller''' is a state of the art hover racer belonging to the [[Gamer Geeks]]. With its twitch-gaming handling and electric shock blasts, it's guaranteed to be game over for any other team racing against it!

The [[Gamer Geeks]] entered the Outta Controller in the [[Ruckus Rally (event)|Ruckus Rally]], with [[Steer'd Wrong]] as driver and [[Chitter Click]] as gunner. As the race started, the Outta Controller quickly took first place. This was short lived as the [[Racer-Roni]] swerved in front of them and deployed a cooking oil spray. Blinded, Steer'd Wrong steered wrong and the Outta Controller went Out of control, crashing.

The Outta Controller quickly recovered and caught up to the Racer-Roni. Chitter Click fired an electric shock, stunning [[Bonz-Eye]] and [[Burgertron]] long enough for the Outta Controller to hover jump over the Racer-Roni. As they headed into the fountain rim drift, the Outta Controller held second place, just behind the [[Sugar Sonic Speedster]]. The Outta Controller stayed neck and neck with the Sugar Sonic Speedster heading towards the finish line, until the Racer-Roni, now driven by [[Kikmee]], passed them both and crossed the finish line first. {{storylink|The Ruckus Rally (episode)|The Ruckus Rally}}

After the battle ended in the Autobots' favor, Dead End was among the Transformers captured by the [[Quintesson]]s, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time.

[[File:AimlessDucking.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Because his other name was way too weird.]]
'''Aimless''' should have been called "Useless". This [[Nebulan]]'s success rate when he tries to hit a target is unknown, because that would require him to, you know, actually ''try''. Together with his [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] partner [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]], he's a danger to himself and others. Mostly others.

Aimless's nature varies. In some universes he's an organic Nebulan; in others he's a robotic Cybertronian.

==Fiction==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Milt Jamin]] (English), [[Takao Ishii]] (Japanese)|[[Gerd Wiedenhofen]] (German)}}
Aimless was a member of the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]], the despotic rulers of [[Nebulos]]. When the Hive allied themselves with a group of [[Decepticon]]s, he became the Targetmaster partner of Misfire. Aimless introduced himself to his new Decepticon partner with the line, "I live only to destroy our mutual enemies!" He then transformed into gun mode, dropped to the ground, and started randomly firing in all directions. After Misfire picked him, he told him that he thought the name Aimless "suited him better."

{{note|This perhaps suggests that Aimless was informing Misfire not of his intentions, but rather of his name: "I, Live Only To Destroy Our Mutual Enemies." Either that, or it's some bizarre scripting error or editing gaffe.}}

When the partners first engaged in battle together, Misfire criticized Aimless's lack of marksmanship. (He's one to talk!) Aimless responded that this was to be expected, as he was new at this. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}} Aimless and the Decepticon Targetmasters returned to Cybertron with the key to the Plasma Energy Chamber and Zarak's powerful new city-bot, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. Once the plasma energy was released, however, Scorponok was struck by the power and launched into deep space with Aimless and the other Decepticons still on board. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
[[Image:Decepticon_targetmasters_brothers_in_armor.jpg|left|300px|"I'm Only Appears Chest-Up Buried At the Bottom Of A Large Groupshot!" "I think Aimless suits you better."]]
Aimless was a construction engineer on [[Nebulos]] who turned laziness into a business opportunity by accepting kickbacks for doing substandard work on the job. After several buildings under his supervision collapsed in a highly public manner, Aimless considered a career change. He signed up with the Decepticons while Lord [[Zarak (G1)|Zarak]] and [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] were in favor on Nebulos, undergoing the bio-mechanical engineering process necessary to become a [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]. He was partnered with Misfire and was involved in an ill-fated attempt to keep the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] from escaping their imprisonment, which spilled out into the streets of [[Koraja]]. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

Aimless and his five friends were refugees, having fled their home planet of [[Master (planet)|Master]] when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the Decepticons began an all-out siege on the world. They were being chased through space in their starship by the Decepticons when they came across the Battleship Maximus. [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] gave them safe haven aboard his starship, and the Master citizens attempted to show their gratitude by removing the deadly plasma energy bombs Fortress was trying to dispose of. Their efforts came too late, however, as the plasma energy bombs exploded aboard their ship in space, bathing everyone nearby with energy. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

Although they survived the explosion, for Aimless and two of his fellow refugees, the ending was not a happy one. The plasma energy somehow fused each of them to a different one of the Decepticon trio who had been attacking them, creating Targetmasters. Aimless was now the eternal partner of Misfire and became a member of the Decepticon army at his side. As a Decepticon, Aimless was forced to join in the invasion of his own planet. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}}

[[File:HM31 Misfire robot mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|It looks like he's shooting lasers out of his breasts.]]
In a battle for the data of the [[Master Sword]], Aimless bonded with Misfire to fight the Autobots. {{Storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Aimless again joined his partner when the Autobot Targetmasters landed on Master to investigate the possible presence of the Decepticons. The two forces battled each other, and the Decepticons were able to wash the Autobots away in a surge of water from an elevated lake. The two forces battled each other, and the Decepticons were able to wash the Autobots away in a surge of water from an elevated lake. The Decepticon Targetmasters returned to the other Decepticons to report of their triumph over the Autobot Targetmasters. When the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] sneaked into the Decepticon's hidden cavern base, the Targetmasters were there to greet them. A battle ensued that the Autobot Targetmasters joined, but the Decepticons eventually retreated. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}}

[[Caliburst (G1)|Caliburst]], [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]], and Aimless were later assigned to watch out for any intruders, and they spotted the Autobot Targetmasters. They went off to report their presence to the other Decepticons and joined their larger partners in attacking the Autobots. During battle, the Decepticons were distracted by an aircraft sent by the natives of Master, allowing the Autobots to escape. Nevertheless, the Decepticons were soon sicced on a Master city, killing the natives. The natives fought back with aircraft, and their combined efforts with the Autobots forced the lesser Decepticons to flee into Scorponok's [[transtector]]. After a showdown between the Zarak Shield and the Master Sword, the Decepticons left Master for [[Earth]]. {{Storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

Aimless played part in the decisive battle with the Autobots at the [[Arctic|North Pole]]. When the [[Final Formation]] put an end to Scorponok's machinations on Earth, the Decepticons retreated into space. {{Storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

The Autobots' split focus left them vulnerable, until the Battleship Maximus extinguished the entire fire in one sweep. [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Ricochet]] and [[Artfire]] then turned their full attention on Aimless and his allies, driving them from the scene. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 7|The Headmasters #7}}

====''Legends'' comic====
Years prior to becoming a Targetmaster, Aimless was one of six Master warriors who were kidnapped by Scorponok and exposed to plasma energy, removing their ability to speak. When Scorponok returned to Master in 2011 and tried to recapture them and continue his experiments, the six of them fled from the planet. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}}

In [[2021]], Aimless and the Decepticon Targetmasters were battling their Autobot counterparts in space when Scorponok detonated a [[black hole]], creating a plasma energy shockwave that caused the smaller Targetmasters to vanish. {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} When they were located in the void of space, the six had been supercharged with plasma energy and gathered together into a clump of guns. The Decepticon Targetmasters attempted to transport them into the [[Legends World]] using [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], but the plasma energy was too dangerous and Trion instead scattered them across the dimension. {{storylink|Mutant Targetmaster Birth Chapter}} Furthermore, the combination of plasma energy with the Legends World's unique energies mutated the Targetmasters, granting them new powers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 45|Bonus Edition Vol. 45}}

Upon rediscovering Aimless, Misfire found that his gun mode was now capable of manipulating time, an ability he used to see into the future and get rich by trading stocks and gambling. When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Shaoshao Li]] came to seize Aimless, Misfire fired him at Hot Rod only to miss and hit Shaoshao, reverting her age to that of an infant. Misfire then tried to defeat Hot Rod by predicting his future moves, but remained so shoddy at aiming that he was defeated regardless, and he and Aimless were taken into custody. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 52|Bonus Edition Vol. 52}} [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] later stole Aimless and combined him with Caliburst and Blowpipe into the [[Plasma Energy Chamber (Legends)|Plasma Energy Chamber]], a mighty plasma energy gun with which he planned to eliminate all other Transformers. He was defeated by Shaoshao, [[Sue Faireborn]] and [[White Lune]], liberating the three Targetmasters. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 55|Bonus Edition Vol. 55}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
On planet Nebulos, all energy was derived from pulsar emanations concentrated at the north pole instead of blanketed solar energy. When the Decepticon Targetmasters learned of this, [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] order Aimless to engineer a means of capturing this energy. Under Misfire's supervision, Aimless planned the construction of a massive tetrahedron to act as an energy interceptor. Unfortunately, the Autobots sabotaged his work after it was completed, and Aimless was forced to start over, designing a sturdier interceptor. His new tri-dome interceptor was now defended by [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] and the entire Decepticon army instead of a meager guard force. However, the seemingly steady foundation of solid ice was melted by the Autobots' thermal lasers, reducing it to slush and once again destroying the interceptor. {{storylink|Decepticons at the Pole}}

*'''Misfire''' (Targetmaster, [[1987]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-89'''

:''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' Aimless came packed with his larger Targetmaster companion, [[Misfire (G1)#Toys|Misfire]]. Aimless is molded in blue and gray plastic, with the only paint application in his face. Basically, like almost all Targetmaster guns, he transforms by folding his legs. But unlike others, his legs are not on a hinge but a joint, and it is prone to breaking over time from stress unless one slightly sands down the c-clip. Be lucky if you find a complete one these days.

:Aimless can be placed in either Misfire's hands or on top of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] thanks to the use of [[5 mm post]]s and holes.

Aimless transforms from a robot based on Blowpipe's Generation 1 character model into Misfire's head, though he is also compatible with any ''Titans Return'' Deluxe, Voyager, or Leader Class figure. Of note, his robot mode is one of the few Titan Masters that actually have paint.

Hairsplitter

:''Hairsplitter is a [[Decepticon]]-allied [[Nebulan]] [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] from the [[The Transformers (toyline)|toyline portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Hairsplitter dt.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.]]

Nobody likes '''Hairsplitter''' (aka '''Shrute'''). He's a pencil-pushing bureaucrat who gets his kicks by writing memos that point out the inefficiencies of others. Even though he's moved from the [[Nebulos]] Department of the Environment to the Decepticons, and changed job titles—from ecological efficiency expert to [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]—he's the same nit-picking dink he always was. He remains precise in everything he does, from snitching on layabouts to searing his name on a microchip in laser rifle mode. Presumably, his partners [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] and [[Singe]] hate him as much as his co-workers did.

Hairsplitter's nature varies. In some universes he is an organic [[Nebulan]]; in others he is a robotic Cybertronian.

==Commercial appearances==
[[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] wielded both Hairsplitter and [[Singe]] in a battle against the three Autobot Double [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmasters]], firing them both wildly in their gun modes while chasing down his targets. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Double Targetmasters|Double Targetmasters commercial}}

* '''Spinister''' (Targetmaster, 1988)

:Part of the fifth year of ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' product, Hairsplitter transforms into a "twin lock-target laser rifle" in basically one and a half steps. As a Targetmaster, his handle is a [[5 mm post]], making him compatible with a '''''lot''''' of toys throughout the entire franchise. His base also features a 5mm post-hole, nominally used to combine him with his pack-in partner [[Singe#Toys|Singe]] to form a super-rifle.

: Singe and Hairsplitter were only available with the Decepticon Targetmaster [[Spinister (G1)#Toys|Spinister]] in 1988. No version of this character or mold was released in Japan.

He can also combine with his pack-in partner [[Singe#Generations|Singe]] (or any other iteration of the [[Tracer (Targetmaster)#Generations|Caliburst]] mold) to form a super-rifle, with either one forming the "front" part.

: He was only available as an accessory with [[Spinister (G1)#Combiner Wars|Spinister]], the third figure released in the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service#Series 4.0 (2016)|Figure Subscription Service 4.0]].

{{suite}}[[File:MP Starscream book cover art.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Next person who says '[[Dull surprise]]' gets a null-ray to the face!"]]
Many toys have been made of [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] '''[[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]''', enough to warrant this page!

===The Transformers===
[[File:G1Starscream toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|[[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Then]] [[Sunstorm (G1)|about]] [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|eight]] [[:File:G1BlackStarscream toy.jpg|million]] [[Seeker (body-type)|redecos]] [[E-HOBBY|followed]].]]
*'''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''22'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

: Starscream's first toy began life as "Jet Robo" from the ''[[Diaclone]]'' line, transforming into a grey, red and blue F-15 Eagle fighter jet. To transform Starscream, one must essentially take most of his plane parts off and transform his body, then reattach most of plane parts on again, along with the addition of two blue fists. If you don't mind being fiddly, though, transformation can certainly be achieved by only removing the fists, weapons and landing gear (which can store in Starscream's cockpit). Owing to the modular nature of his design and the fact that it is impossible to store all the parts in either mode, it can be quite difficult to find an intact original set of this toy.

:Starscream is armed with a pair of missile launchers that mount on his arms in robot mode, and under his wings in jet mode, with a pair of specialized projectiles for each. In jet mode, two short "[[cluster bomb]]" projectiles are fitted into the launchers to make them resemble the drop tanks a real F-15 carries, while in robot mode, they are replaced with the long barrels of Starscream's [[null-ray]]s. The original ''Diaclone'' version of the mold featured spring-loaded firing mechanisms in these launchers; while this feature was removed for the [[Hasbro]] release of the toy, it was left intact for the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] version, and all subsequent reissues.

:The ''Diaclone'' version of the Starscream mold featured tailfins with solid tips and solid fists, and both these features carried over to the earliest ''Transformers'' releases. Soon, however, the ''Transformers'' mold was modified to add hollow tips to the fins, and tabs to the insides of the fists to allow them to hold onto his arms tighter, resulting in a visible slit on either side of each one. These altered versions became the standard for all subsequent reissues of the mold. Like all his 1984 brethren, a [[rubsign]] was added to Starscream in 1985.

:The Italian release of Starscream (as "Astrum") by [[GiG]] put him in a generic "Distructor Planes" box, featuring names and tech specs for all three planes in the assortment.

: Starscream's mold was [[redeco]]ed into the concurrently-available [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]]. It would later be redecoed again to make [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], and [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]]. On top of this, given his role as a major Generation 1 character, Starscream himself would be reissued many times down the years; this article strives to list each reissue of the figure under its own header. The long lifespan of his toy actually began in 1986, when Starscream remained part of the assortment for that year despite the departure of nearly every other 1984 toy from store shelves.

:The second release of Starscream's toy came with this Japanese-exclusive two-pack, which saw him packaged alongside [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], in commemoration of the Decepticon leader's passing ([[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|of sorts]]) in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

:The first new Starscream toy since the original brought the treacherous Air Commander back as a [[Classic Pretender]]. He still transforms into a grey, red and blue F-15 fighter jet, though his vehicle mode now borders on the [[super deformed]]. He is armed with a pair of blue lasers, which become his tail fins in jet mode.

:Starscream's two-piece [[Pretender]] shell resembles a human in a teal, grey and brown space armored suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large blue rifle. When Starscream is inside the shell, his removable grey wings store in holes on the shell's back, while the blue lasers get plugged into the sides of the large rifle.

This version of Starscream featured a silver face, as opposed to the Hasbro version's black.

:In Italy, [[GiG]] also forewent releasing the individual Classic Pretenders, and instead released their own version of the Hero Set named "Set Commandos". Starscream was given the name "Tornado", which was originally the Italian name of [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

His main accessory is the [[Turbo Jet]], a small personal attack craft that Starscream can set astride like a motorcycle. The Turbo Jet rolls on three small wheels, and can transform into a gun emplacement.

:Starscream's ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' release is a slight [[retool]] of his original toy, armed with new, functional spring-loaded launchers and missiles, and an electronic light-and-sound "energy unit" in the shape of a tank. The electronic box lights up with the press of either button, and emits electronic "machine gun" or "jet engine" noises. In robot mode, the box attaches to Starscream's back; in jet mode, it plugs into his tail-end.

:The new accessories were also used, in different colors, for ''Generation 2'' Ramjet.

*'''Megatron''' (limited test market release)
**''Accessories'': 12 missiles, 2 missiles launchers

: A planned-but-more-or-less-canceled redeco of ''Generation 2'' [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]], "Advanced Tactical Bomber" [[Megatron (G1)/toys#ATB|Megatron]] would have come with Starscream, a redeco of Dreadwing's partner [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. The pair could combine into the "flying wing" Advanced Tactical Bomber, while Starscream coud detach to become a smaller solo jet, leaving Megatron to transform into a treaded tank mode. According the Toy Fair 1995 Transformers presentation, the toy's missiles were intended to glow in the dark.

: This toy's deco (but not the glow-in-the-dark missiles) was used to make ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'''s [[BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)|Starscream]] out of the same mold-set. This mold was also used to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Dreadwind (RID)|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper]], while Starscream's mold was sold separately during the ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' line as [[Smokesniper]].

: This figure was only released to test markets in Ohio in very limited quantities. It was never available as a wide release.

===Machine Wars===
[[File:MWStarscream Toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I have no mouth and I must Starscream.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' 10 missiles
: Starscream's ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' incarnation is a redeco of the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]], transforming into a large bomber jet based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird. The main feature of the toy is its "carpet bombing" gimmick; each wing contains a drum that holds up to four missiles, which drop out as the drum is rotated. A further two missiles can also store on each wing, and one on each side of his fuselage, but while Skyquake came with enough missiles to fill all these ports, Starscream only comes with ten. The short length of the missiles necessary for this gimmick to function means that Starscream does not come with Skyquake's firing missile launcher, since the missiles are shorter than [[for safety reasons|safety reasons]] allow, although it is incorrectly shown on his packaging. Starscream also lacks Skyquake's [[Megavisor]] gimmick. The figure also features a barely noticeable yet enormous Decepticon symbol on the [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/view/machine-wars/starscream/608/2/25/ top of the plane] rendered in black paint on black plastic.

:Starscream is known to have come with either pale grey missiles, better fitting his new color scheme, or bright green missiles like Skyquake's.

: This mold was later redecoed to make [[King Atlas]]. The toy was repurposed as the [[Starscream drone]]s.

===Transtech===
[[File:Starscream-transtech.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Obscure both by design and by accident]]
*'''Starscream'''

: Starscream would have been made available in the aborted ''[[Transcendent Technomorph|Transtech]]'' series in 2001. Control art and early [[Prototype]] images have surfaced, showing that the toy would have been at the Deluxe scale and featured internal lighting mechanisms that changed color depending on its mode. The toy is clearly a homage to his ''Machine Wars'' body, which at the time of ''Transtech's'' intended release would have been the last form Starscream had inhabited in American markets.

: In 2008, this design would be [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as the [[Transcendent Technomorph|TransTech]] universe's [[Starscream (TransTech)|Starscream]].

: This design was revived by [[Draxhall Jump]] when they were contracted to create the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Megamorphs'' line for Toy Biz; Starscream ultimately became the [[Iron Man]] toy.

: Available concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the original Generation 1 Starscream figure, "Starscream Ghost Version" is an [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' redeco of the 2001 Starscream reissue, cast almost entirely in translucent plastics (except for those parts made of die-cast metal) in homage to Starscream's tenure as a ghost in the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]]. To make the toy further match Starscream's cartoon appearance, it features a notably lighter shade of blue, and a translucent orange cockpit as opposed to the traditional smoky grey. The toy came in unique monochrome-blue window box packaging featuring [[CGI]] artwork of Starscream.

The toy's [[bio]] makes a rare fictional reference to ''Machine Wars'', describing [[Machine Wars (event)|the events]] of the series in the past tense. The toy shared the window-box packaging of the "Ghost Version" (see above), except its box was monochrome-black.

: The third exclusive redeco of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy released alongside the 2001 reissues, "Starscream Secret Version" was available through the [[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]] contest held in conjunction with the first edition of ''[[Transformers Generations]]'' (with a ''[[Super Collection Figure]]'' Skywarp figurine as second prize). The figure was limited to only ''five'' pieces, making it one of the rarest officially-released ''Transformers'' toys in the world, and to cap it off, the toy was not actually ''shown'' during the contest, hence its "Secret" moniker. Given its amazingly limited availability, it was not even 100% known ''what the toy looked like'' until a picture of it appeared in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]'', showing it as being primarily clear and colorless. Prior to this appearance, it was suggested that both this toy and the ''SCF'' Skywarp were ''not'' officially released, due to the bankruptcy of ''Generations'' publisher [[Keibunsha]]. Whether or not this scenario is accurate is still unknown at this time, as no one has publicly translated the text regarding the figure from ''Generations 2009''.

*'''Starscream''' (2003)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

:The first reissue of the original Starscream toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive. It featured functional missile launchers for the first time on a Hasbro version of the toy, but because the launchers now worked, both sets of missiles had to be lengthened [[for safety reasons]]. This didn't work out ''so'' badly with the null-rays, but the cluster bombs just wound up looking ''stupid''.

===The Transformers Collection===
[[File:TFC09ScreamerHoldingMegs.jpg|thumb|"Megatron...I am '''ever''' your humble and willing servant."]]
*'''Starscream''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''9'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear, two-piece gun mode Megatron, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] fist

:As another in an increasingly large number of reissues of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy, this entry in the Japanese-exclusive ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues decided to mix things up by giving the figure a full-scale redeco into [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors. His blue plastic became much lighter, while his cockpit was made bright orange, and even featured new grey paint applications running across it. Several of his stickers were replaced with new, show-accurate paint applications, including new wing-stripes and [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon symbols on his wings and nosecone (of course, Starscream didn't have one on his nosecone in the cartoon, so it isn't perfect!).

:Starscream's fists were remolded with new circular peg-holes so he could wield his missile launchers in his hands, which also worked in conjunction with a new tab on the fists' undersides to allow him to hold his new accessory: Megatron in gun mode. This miniature Megatron splits into two pieces at the handle, with each half plugging into the new hole and tab added to each of Starscream's fists. Megatron can also plug into Starscream's underside in jet mode, replicating the time the characters linked up in this fashion in the cartoon episode, "[[S.O.S. Dinobots]]". The set also came with a remolded fist for the original Optimus Prime toy, allowing him to hold the Megatron accessory, and a DVD featuring a trailer for the upcoming Playstation 2 video game ''[[The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers]]'' and Japanese toy [[commercial]]s for Optimus Prime, [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Prime]] and [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]].

: Standing at only two inches tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Starscream is a ''very'' small-scale simplification of the original Starscream toy. It retains a surprising amount of the larger toy's functionality and accessories, except its tail fins and wings are combined into single pieces, and his null rays and landing gear are left out.

:This mold was, of course, redecoed into ''Smallest Transforming'' versions of Skywarp and Thundercracker, and retooled into Thrust.

*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-12'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile pods

: Starscream's ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' toy is a re-imagining of the original Generation 1 figure, retaining its basic [[transformation scheme]], but designed to be closer to the animation model, with greater articulation and integrated parts that do not require detachment during transformation. The only pieces that now need to be removed are Starscream's null ray rifles, which move from his wings to his arms. He has three peg-holes on each arm, allowing the null rays to be mounted on his shoulders, on his forearms, or in his fists. These holes are also designed to accommodate the generic spring-loaded missile launcher weapon included with ''Robotmasters'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|G1 Convoy]], [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Convoy]] and [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Robotmasters|Beast Megatron]].

:Starscream came with two "missile pods" based on weapons Starscream used but once, in the Generation 1 cartoon episode "[[Fire on the Mountain (episode)|Fire on the Mountain]]". These chromed accessories plug into the square holes in Starscream's chest, and feature opening covers that reveal (non-firing) missiles within.

: This mold was redecoed into ''Robotmasters'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Robotmasters|Thundercracker]].

[[File:MasterpieceStarscream toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|And the fandom complained (and rejoiced).]]
*'''Starscream''' (2006)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-3'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#Masterpiece|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

:The second new mold in [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line, this highly-detailed version of Starscream is the "odd man out" of the series, eschewing the slavish cartoon-accuracy of the other ''Masterpiece'' figures in favor of creating as accurate an F-15 Eagle alternate mode as possible, with a somewhat more stylized robot mode. The toy features several unobtrusive built-in gimmicks, including ''numerous'' opening panels on his jet mode surface (highlighting the attention this mode received), flip-up panels in his chest that reveal missile racks based on the weapons seen in the Generation 1 episode "Fire on the Mountain", and a rotating face that allows Starscream to switch his expression from stony-faced to sneering. Owners of the toy are given quite a few customization options, as Starscream comes with an extensive sheet of sticker decals, including variously sized Decepticon symbols, and squadron numbers and markings, including one of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]!

:In addition to his built-in features, Starscream comes with several accessories. He is armed with both his traditional null-ray rifles, but his familiar cluster bombs are replaced with a rack of (slightly inaccurate) Sidewinder missiles. He also comes with a clip that mounts under his nosecone, allowing him to hold the Megatron pistol accessory that came with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#20th Anniversary.2FMasterpiece|''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime]] in emulation of the way the characters linked up in "S.O.S. Dinobots", and a small figurine of [[Doctor Arkeville]], his partner in crime from several first-season episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon, which can fit in his cockpit. Finally, he includes a two-piece, reconfigurable display base that allows the figure to be posed in mid-flight in either jet or robot mode, and can store Starscream's accessories while they are not in use. [[Control drawing|Control art]] for ''Masterpiece'' Starscream which showed the figure wearing his [[Transformer clothing|Crown of Leadership]] (as seen in the coronation scene of the original animated movie) and a pair of otherwise-pointless flip-out notches in the finished toy's shoulders indicated that Takara planned for a set of clip-on coronation gear. Ultimately, it would take ''six years'' before these accessories were finally released.

: ''Masterpiece'' Starscream's creation was overseen by famed Japanese mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]], who was particularly intent on hiding the robot-mode details on the underside of the fighter mode. The first prototype for the figure was essentially an upgraded, more complex version of the original toy, with much more accurate robot and jet modes, but Kawamori's desire to avoid simply making a new version of an old toy saw the figure go through a major redesign into its finished form. Perhaps the most notable change was the repositioning of Starscream's tail-fin structures from his legs to his hips, with the intent of creating the feel of a samurai wearing a pair of swords at his waist (presumably, if somewhat oddly, based on the then-recent ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' cartoons' portrayal of their [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] as a noble swordsman). Even so, Kawamori was still unhappy with the amount of robotic parts visible underneath the plane, but conceded that too many changes would essentially not make the toy look like Starscream in robot mode. In this pursuit of realism, the most visible concession to the design was the abandonment of his traditional color scheme, replaced with an all-over greenish-tinged grey. Given that this color is inaccurate to most real F-15 fighters (whose Gunship Gray coloration is ''much'' closer to Starscream's traditional shade), the question of why it was changed at all is not an unreasonable one. However, there are instances of [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6VLv-xwhhag/TZ7hPg5UX-I/AAAAAAAAAXo/UW1469Fm19M/s1600/F-15_three_shipper.jpg F-15 Strike Eagles] that actually utilize this (seldom seen) color scheme.

:This mold was later retooled into the ''Masterpiece'' versions of [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thundercracker]], and was recolored by Hasbro into a [[#MasterpieceUS|more cartoon-accurate Starscream color scheme]] released under their ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' line as well as redecoed into Hasbro's version of Masterpiece [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Universe .282008.29|Skywarp]] under the [[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]] line. It was also redecoed and retooled to create the eleventh ''Masterpiece'' figure, [[#MP11|Starscream]].

:Though not stated on the package, Starscream is in fact a 1/60 scale F-15. The same scale used by many popular Japanese mecha toys including Kawamori's own ''Macross'' Valkyries. Coincidence?

:Cast almost entirely in translucent plastic, this "Ghost Version" ''Masterpiece'' figure is yet another callback to Starscream's spectral tenure from the Generation 1 cartoon. When purchased from [[e-HOBBY]], buyers received an [[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.|exclusive comic]] packaged with the figure. Surprisingly, Ghost Starscream comes with the same sticker sheet as the original MP-3 Starscream, only with the numbering designation changed.

:Like Gentei Ghost Starscream, Masterpiece Ghost Starscream is cast in light purple translucent plastic instead of just colorless clear plastic like the G1 Ghost Starscream figure.

:''Extreme'' caution is needed while transforming/posing this toy: Several parts of him (especially the wing connectors) are prone to breakage.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null rays, hologram pilot figurine

:Following up on the original plan for the ''Masterpiece'' Starscream figure six years after the fact, MP-11 decks Screamer out in his coronation gear from ''The Transformers: The Movie'', including crown, twin shoulder pads, and a sculpted plastic cape (rather than a fabric one). In addition to his new accessories—which also include a new hologram pilot figure in place of Doctor Arkeville—Starscream features some extensive retooling to wind his ''Masterpiece'' design away from Kawamori's original, less Generation 1-accurate look, with most of the robot mode being newly tooled parts, including chunkier legs that now incorporate his tail-fins, [[retool]]ed shoulders and wingtips that no longer curve into one another, a new head (with collapsible head fins), new heel spurs that flip out for added support in robot mode, and re-engineered null rays attached to extending armatures that mean they no longer have to be [[Partformer|removed]] for transformation. Despite the similarity to the original MP-3 prototype, the retooled parts are in fact a whole new design heavily based on the original concept. This new version of the mold was redecoed into [[Sunstorm (G1)#Masterpiece|Sunstorm]] and (without the coronation gear) into Hasbro's [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Thundercracker]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#MP11SW|Skywarp]] and [[Acid Storm (G1)#Masterpiece|Acid Storm]]. It was later retooled into the [[Seeker (body-type)#Coneheads|Coneheads]] [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Ramjet]], [[Thrust (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Thrust]] and [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Dirge]], although the mold by that point had noticeably [[Mold#Deterioration|deteriorated]], resulting in numerous quality control issues.

:2013 saw a China-only re-release of MP-11 Starscream. While announced as the same as the original, it featured some changes. Chief among them are the head is no longer molded in light gray plastic painted over gloss black and dark metallic gray (for the face) but it's molded in a more cartoon accurate dark gray (for the helmet) and a lighter metallic gray for the face. This release also features the nosecone molded in light gray plastic rather than molded in blue and then painted over light gray. The black tabs on the top of the jet are now the same grey as the rest of the jet. It also included a collector's coin like the original Asian (excluding Japan) release.

:This version was released by Hasbro [[#Masterpiece 2|under ''Generations'' co-branding]].

*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-ray cannons (left and right), 2 missiles

: Like the other entries in the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' series, Starscream is a faithful "modernizing" of his original Generation 1 form, updating his original toy with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation (not dissimilar in principle from his ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' incarnation, but with less of an adherence to his cartoon [[character model]]). Sharing many design elements with his ''[[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, Starscream still transforms into an F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an {{w|F-14 Tomcat}} fighter jet. His color scheme is, of course, based on the traditional Starscream palette, but seems to owe its new layout to {{w|File:F-15A first prototype 2.jpg|the original F-15 prototype}}.

:As usual, Starscream is armed with his familiar null-rays, which can mount under his wings, on his shoulders, or in his fists, and fire spring-loaded projectiles. The large size of his null-rays (necessary [[for safety reasons]]) restrict his arm movement somewhat in robot mode, as they bump into his wings. Like all ''Classics'' figures, he has a heat-activated rubsign on his left wing. Certain parts of Starscream, like his back panel and tailfin assemblies, are made of unusually rigid gray plastic that is slightly prone to cracking or breaking, and should be handled with care.

: [[Variant#Running changes|Later versions]] of Starscream saw a [[retool]] in the jet intake area, which involved the slope of his shoulders being decreased, and a fifth small rectangle being added to the vertical area. This version of Starscream is the harder to find of the two, but was used as the basis for all subsequent redecos and retools.

*'''Masterpiece Starscream''' (2007, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null rays, 2 missile racks, Doctor Arkeville pilot figurine, gun clip, display stand

: A [[Walmart]] exclusive, Hasbro's Masterpiece Starscream is an ''extensive'' redeco of the previous year's ''Masterpiece'' figure from Takara, recolored to resemble the character's animation model, down to the orange canopy and the silver nosecone, although the cartoon-accurate silver paint on the nosecone actually covers ''toy''-accurate blue plastic.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/206593-clean-mp-ss-cleanscream-blue-nosecone.html Clean MP SS - Cleanscream(blue nosecone) - tfw2005.com]</ref> In an effort to bring out detail in the sculpt, he has also been given an extensive paint wash to bring out his panel lines. His colors were not the only thing changed, however; the tips of his vertical stabilizers were shortened and rounded, and the plastics used overall have greater resilience to impact and damage than the fragile Japanese release.

:Starscream includes the same accessories as the Takara version of the toy, including a two-piece display stand, null rays, sidewinder missiles, a small figurine of Doctor Arkeville (which now has the correct skin color), and a clip to hold 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime's Megatron gun while in jet mode. Starscream was finally given the correct tech spec stats he was originally supposed to have back in 1984 for this release, which had been mistakenly given to Skywarp instead.

:Takara got in on the act the following year when they released Hasbro's version of Masterpiece Starscream as a "[[USA Edition]]", adding a Japanese sticker to the Hasbro ''Classics'' packaging. This version of the toy was not without a few changes: the original mold for the tail fins was used, an extra Decepticon symbol was added to Starscream's nosecone (which was present on his original toy, but not his animation model), and his black "scorch mark" [[paint operation]]s were dialed back, and those that remained were switched to a lighter gray.

:As a redeco of the one communal mold used for all the ''Sports Label'' toys, Starscream, if that's who he really was, would have transformed into an undersized Nike sneaker with real fabric shoelaces, and would have been armed with a modular two-piece gun that split and stored inside each half of the large sneaker "shell" that made up a big chunk of his alternate mode.

This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, with its only notable change from past versions being a pale yellow window instead of dark gray, and the inclusion of [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias on its wings and nosecone, rather than stickers (similar to the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' reissue before it but not flipped like the animation and metallic purple and silver instead of glossy purple and white).

:The second ''Universe'' Starscream toy is a redeco of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Starscream]], with a considerably lighter gray base color, more vibrant red paint, his face painted in dark gray compared to ''Classics'' Starscream's flat gray plastic color for the face and a deco more faithful to Starscream's original Generation 1 toy, very similar to the ''Henkei! Henkei!'' release.

:Several minor changes were made to the sculpt for this release: his launcher pegs were widened, and the peg-holes for them on his shoulders and wings were modified in order to accommodate them. His air intakes were further modified (on top of the changes made to the mold for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Skywarp]]) so that the bottom-most rectangle goes completely across the air intake's surface rather than just the center.

:The figure is reported to suffer from heavy quality control issues, most commonly mentioned are the joints and hinges being incredibly weak. As a result, Starscream's wings are difficult to keep in place in robot mode. The elbows, which previously snapped into place when articulated, now slide freely, and the entire hip joint system can be shifted out of alignment.

:In car mode, small wings are ''supposed to'' be able to flip out from under Starscream's rear wheels, giving him the appearance of a flying car. Unfortunately, this [[gimmick]] suffers from a rather nasty [[design flaw]]: there is simply not enough clearance under the car for the wheels to be able to pass and hinge through, and attempting to do so will result in the plastic reinforcement struts underneath ''deforming the rims and chipping the tires''. His door panels also tend to detach from their [[ball joint]]s ''very easily''.

:This mold, with a different head sculpt, was also used to make the simultaneously released ''Alternity'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alternity|Skywarp]], and later [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alternity|Thundercracker]] and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)#Alternity|Banzai-Tron]] as well.

*'''Starscream''' (Legends Class, 2011)

:[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] Starscream is a new sculpt based on his Generation 1 jet appearance with many fuselage details borrowed from the [[#Masterpiece|Masterpiece version]]. This is the first Starscream in many years to attempt an entirely new transformation for him, with the arms now forming the rear of the jet and the legs folding under the wings. Amusingly, he has ''two'' cockpits, with the one that is actually part of his jet mode folding ''right behind'' the [[kibble#faux-parts|fake]] one on his chest in robot mode. As part of the "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[subline imprint]], Starscream sports a [[rubsign]].

: Early specimens of the toy released in Asia and at United States retail feature an unpainted gray-plastic helmet, a comparatively rare [[variant]]. This variant is the one featured in the Hasbro [[stock photography]], although the stock photo depicting the figure in [[multilingual packaging|European packaging]] has the more common black helmet, as this was the only version ever available at European retail.

: The "Reveal the Shield" Legends figures saw exceedingly limited release at large-scale retail chains in the US. Throughout 2011, they eventually started appearing in discount stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Tuesday Morning, with perhaps the largest and most consistent outlet being Five Below stores.

:This sculpt was also redecoed and retooled to make ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Chronicle|Skywarp]], as well as ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Generations|Thundercracker]] and [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014)]] [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Skywarp]].

{{note|This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Starscream in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics.}}

: Part of the third wave of [[2012]]-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]] transforms into a Cybertronian jet fighter. He comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the [[Neutron assault rifle]] from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible. Starscream features numerous 5mm peg-holes, such as his hands, forearms, lower legs, and wing undersides.

: In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

: He was later redecoed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Skywarp (WFC)#Generations|Skywarp]] and ''Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Thrilling30|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Generations|Skywarp]].

:Part of the fourth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Starscream is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. Based on a [[Guido Guidi]] [[Seeker (body-type)|seeker]] concept for the [[The Transformers (IDW)|first IDW ongoing series]], Starscream transforms from a hybrid F-15/F-22 style jet. He features a fold out front landing gear, [[5mm post|5mm-compatible]] hands, and back/roof, and has [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] upper arm ports. He comes with two removable null rays that have both 5mm and 3mm pegs.

: Alluding to the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' episode "[[Possession]]", Starscream is partnered with [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Generations|Waspinator]], who can transform into a wasp, a robot with 3mm-compatible hands, and a gun with 5mm handle. He has an [[autotransformation]] feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.

Additionally, his turbines can each fire a missile in either mode via pressure-launch, and can be positioned in robot mode to either face forward or lay flat on his back.

:While his [[bio]] paints this toy as ''Armada'' Starscream, the included comic by [[IDW Publishing]] repurposes this toy as a new body for Generation 1 Starscream in their ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comic book series, debuting it in the [[Dark Dawn: Dark Cybertron Chapter 1|issue]] the figure comes packaged with.

He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter, and includes a missile launcher and four limb-mounted weapons, two guns based on the traditional Seeker arm rifles, and the infamous crown based on the equally infamous coronation scene from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', which fits around his head. He also features a faux cockpit.

:As one of seven toys in the [[Transformers: Generations#Cyber Battalion Seres|Cyber Battalion]] series, Cyber Series Starscream is a Voyager-sized figure intended to be sold at a cheaper price point. Starscream features a transformation similar to his ''Generations'' Legends Class counterpart. Undocumented in the instructions and as shown in the packaging art, Starscream's rifles can be attached underneath his wings and his robot mode arms.

:Unfortunately, the figure did not get distribution in the United States, but has been reported showing up in Asian markets and was also solicited to South America. Toy importers did stock this series in a limited capacity and they sold out quickly in 2015 and effectively disappeared at that time. In 2016, the Cyber Battalion Starscream figure (along with ''Cyber Battalion'' Optimus Prime and Bumblebee) saw release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and finally ended up being turned into a Walgreens exclusive.

:The Hasbro version of [[#MP11|MP-11]] differs from the Takara release in a toy-accurate blue nose cone, borders around the Decepticon logo, a slightly different grey plastic, the tabs of the top of the jet are in grey (like the second release of MP-11) and is missing the coronation gear. However, he does come with the stand from previous Masterpiece Seekers and two racks of missiles that can peg onto the bottom of his wings in place of the null rays. Neither the box nor the instructions mention this, but he comes with the gray clip that can hold the Megatron gun that came with other ''Masterpiece'' figures, such as MP-1 Optimus Prime or MP-13 Soundwave. Official images, including the box art, shows the top of the wings mis-transformed in robot mode.

[[File:PowerOfThePrimestoy-Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|Arise, THICC-Scream.]]
:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Starscream is an all new mold that transforms from robot that utilizes the [[Evergreen]]-styled design into a fighter jet. He also features some markings on his jet mode: an Autobot kill count on the right side of the cockpit, and a Decepticon symbol with the number "D-22" (a reference to Starscream's Japanese ID number). Starscream can also form the torso of [[Starscream Combiner|an unnamed combiner]] using any selection of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. His instructions and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him with the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures from Wave 1. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], Enigma, or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. The silhouette of Starscream's torso mode appears to homage the robot mode of another [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Starscream includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Seeker Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Starscream via the previously mentioned Prime Armor or the combined mode chest, which can also facilitate the other previously mentioned objects. It's very possible the ability to combine is a reference to the [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Deviations|Deviations combiner Megascream]], but it could also just be a thing they did because why not.

:There are several reports of the peg that connects the wings often refusing to connect well. In 2018, a running change was made in the re-release of the toy: the peg that connects between the wings and the robot back has been retooled to connect firmly. The only way to identify this running change is the code "73101" stamped onto the box.

:Starscream was later retooled into [[Elita One (G1)#Generations|Elita-1]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 "HPI [[Null-ray|Null-Ray]] Laser Launchers"
:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Starscream transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot to a Cybertronian 'tetrajet' based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers']] appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" and back; although the jet mode has the robot legs sticking out from the undercarriage. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms, or under the wings in jet mode. As part of the ''Siege'' [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], Starscream has 5 mm ports on his biceps, forearms, shins, under his feet (thrusters), and wings. The 3mm pegs on his shins, forearms, left bicep, and the tips of his Null-Rays can accommodate effects parts sold separately. Similar to his wavemate Soundwave, Starscream is absolutely ''slathered'' in battle damage paint, heavily coating his legs, chest, forearms and the ''entirety'' of his jet form.

:Like the rest of ''Siege'', his robot mode focuses on articulation, with double-jointed elbows, knees that bend at nearly 180 degrees, ankle rockers, and waist articulation(!) being notable articulation points for a Starscream toy. Being a rather heavy shellformer, Starscream can be separated into both a wingless robot mode and a nearly complete tetrajet easily, via a friction hinge.

:Speaking of friction hinges, the initial release of Starscream suffers from a production flaw: His robot chest usually pops off during transformation, due to a late design change removing a pin from the chest without adjusting the plastic tolerances. Said initial releases also use the live action "angry eyes" Decepticon insignia design. One or both errors were corrected for later wave shipments, with both being fixed by the time the figure shipped again with Voyager Siege [[Springer (G1)|Springer]].

:Amusingly, the panel on his instruction sheet demonstrating where to attach C.O.M.B.A.T. weapons depicts him mistransformed, with his left forearm opened along the transformation hinge. He is also slightly mistransformed in package, with his arms rather adorably left unextended and the panel behind the head not being locked in place between the shoulder pylons.

:Starscream was later redecoed into [[Thundercracker_(G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Thundercracker]] and [[Red_Wing#Generations|Red Wing]] with a new smirking face, into [[Skywarp_(G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Skywarp]] with a new sneering face, and into [[Acid_Storm_(G1)#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Acid Storm]], [[Ion_Storm#Generations|Ion Storm]] and [[Nova_Storm_(G1)#Generations|Nova Storm]] with the original head sculpt.

:Released as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise (toyline)|Earthrise]]'' Voyager Class lineup, this version of Starscream is an all-new cartoon-accurate mold featuring multiple elements of his ''Classics'' figure. He transforms into an F-15 jet based on his traditional alternate mode and features a pair of Null-Rays.

:The stock renders have some minor differences from the prototype seen at New York Comic Con. The renders depict the section of his chest that covers part of his cockpit as being unpainted red, while the prototype has it painted a more animation-accurate white. The render also depicts his shoulder joints as being molded in blue and knee joints in white, whereas the prototype has their colors swapped.

In Starscream's case, it has a gun resembling G1 Starscream's Null-Ray laser gun.

As a Flip Shot, an impact to the front of his vehicle mode would cause him to flip up when autotransforming. He would be packaged with a launcher and a target. Like many of the Bot Shots from the second year, however, he was cancelled before release.

: This version of Starscream is heavily based on his cartoon appearance. He features a light gray (lighter than the Henkei!

*'''Starscream''' (Legion Class, 2014/2017)
:Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt. The deco for its initial release is unchanged from the ''Transformers'' release from 2012, whereas the tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and holes inside his wings compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Starscream/Waspinator two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Starscream's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the Null Rays that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the weapons.

:Legion Class Starscream has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the purple Decepticon insignia with black versions. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

:This figure was re-released in 2017 in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]], the black insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia.

Starscream transforms into two vaguely futuristic vehicles: a jet with an opening cockpit and back-mounted rocket boosters, as well as a tank with a rotating turret and a spring-loaded "Vertex Cannon" that launches its missile when the barrel is compressed. The cannon can also be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He lacks Doubledealer's blaster and sword accessories, but instead comes with two of [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Starscream]]'s [[null-ray]] cannons that can plug into the [[5 mm post]]s on his shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings. Unfortunately, his shoulders suffer from the same [[design flaw]] Blitzwing and Doubledealer suffered from. Starscream was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

As a Deluxe-sized ''Unite Warriors'' figure, he can combine to form the leg or arm of any ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs, but would usually be associated with [[Grand Galvatron#Unite Warriors 2|Grand Galvatron]].

:He was sold in an [[TakaraTomy Mall]] exclusive giftset of Grand Galvatron along with [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Unite Warriors|Tactician Cyclonus]], [[Thrust (Armada)#Unite Warriors|Curse Armada Thrust]], [[Breakdown (WFC)#Unite Warriors 2|Zombie War Breakdown]], and [[Roller (G1)#Unite Warriors 2|Wandering Roller]].

The stock photography shows that, in order to differentiate him in control of the body from Octone, the shoulder and head pylons should both be moved up instead of leaving them down.

He comes with two null-rays that can attach to his arms or under his wings. His transformation is nigh-identical to his ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' toy, with a few minor changes; his null rays can now peg to his wings, his face is hidden in jet mode, and the nosecone no longer flips back when forming his chest.

:Amusingly, the Decepticon symbol on his chest is ''ridiculously'' tiny, to the point where it's little more than a purple triangle.

:The original Starscream toy was reissued as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in 2018, under the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' label, using the version of the mold from [[#The Transformers Collection|''The Transformers Collection'' release]], complete with a Megatron gun. However, he still retains the elongated null-rays and cluster bombs from the [[#Commemorative Series|''Commemorative Series'' release]]. His eyes have also been painted gold rather than using the old terrible [[sticker]] across the bridge of his nose. His [[rubsign]] is an all-new type used on all of the ''Vintage G1'' toys; the insignia only turns red rather than the mood-ring multicolor of older rubsigns, plus the silver border is mirror-level reflective.

==Notes==
[[File:G2BlackDeathStarscreamMockup.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
[[File:G2BlackDeathStarscreamProductionColor.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
[[File:G2SSJungleprotojet.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]
*A hand-painted mock-up and accompanying artwork for what seems to have been a proposed ''Generation 2''-era redeco of Starscream appeared in auctions on [[eBay]], amongst similar items put up for sale from the collection of a former [[Hasbro]] employee. The mock-up features the words "Black Death" on its nosecone, which would probably lead fans to refer to the figure as "Black Death Starscream" if anyone were aware of it existing.
**Somewhat confusingly, there appear to be two different pieces of artwork related to this redeco concept: one is simply a palette-swapped version of Starscream's [[:File:G2StarscreamPackageArt.jpg|''Generation 2'' artwork]] (down to having exactly the same color stickers), while the other features numerous alterations, among them new foot, knee, and shoulder intake detailing, differently positioned wings, and the missile launchers included with the ''Generation 2'' releases of Starscream and [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]]. Though unconfirmed, it is thought that the second piece of artwork was meant to go with the final release.
**Speaking of the final release: in 2012, it was revealed that "Black Death Starscream" was ''much'' further along in production than the fandom had previously suspected when a sticker-less test shot was discovered on the Chinese auction site TaoBao (from a seller also possessing loose ''Generation 2'' [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and a production-colors [[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]). The test-shot differs from the package art and mock-up by possessing black missiles instead of blue ones and having no Decepticon symbols on the rear stabilizers (although it's possible those were meant to be stickers).
**The actuality of the figure being intended as Starscream is uncertain. In fact, the "desert" redeco of Ramjet discovered at the same time has been revealed as having been intended as [[Sandstorm (G2)|a separate new character]] and not an alternate version of Ramjet as had been assumed. It very well may be that this toy was likewise intended as a new character with the working name "Black Death," and not Starscream at all, but without confirmation of this it may as well remain listed here.
*A second unproduced redeco of Starscream for the ''Generation 2'' line was found in 2007, also in an auction on eBay. It is known to the fandom as "Jungle Attack Starscream", although just as with "Black Death Starscream", it is unclear if it was intended to actually be another Starscream toy.

:''Elita-One is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Elita-oneros4.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|For once, we know what a version of Elita turns into.]]
'''Elita-One''' (also '''Elita-1''') is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which by no means displeases her, but she's more than a pretty face. She's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. When it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Older sister to [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and one of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] closest and longest-serving officers, Elita-One shares the Autobot commander's compassion and dedication for protecting the innocent and downtrodden. Every bit as skilled as she is compassionate, Elita-One is one of the Autobots' strongest leaders. Determined to protect the weaker from the ruthless Decepticons to the bitter end, she's a living definition of an Autobot.

{{note|Internal to the film itself, both Elita-1 and Chromia are simply treated as components of Arcee. We list her exploits here for completeness.}}
[[File:ROTF Elita-1 in Egypt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Elita-1? Flareup? Call me anything but Sweetie.]]
Elita-1 and her sisters were held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, the sisters pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in their way, but ultimately they weren't able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and proceeded to make short work of Sideways.

When [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia, but NEST disobeyed the orders, instead shipping Elita and the others to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect the recently-deceased Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, the sisters arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help escort Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] through the warzone, but Elita-1 was one of the first Autobot casualties of the battle, being shot down from behind as she called for Sam and Mikaela to follow them. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Elita-One was one of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s followers, alongside Optimus, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], and others who believed in his teachings of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] and the [[AllSpark]]. When Sentinel Prime proved the truth of his claims by unearthing the lost AllSpark from beneath the surface of Cybertron at [[Simfur]], Elita helped defend it against an attack by the non-believing [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]] until [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] was able to warp time and space and bring a sun into Cybertronic space, thereby repowering the AllSpark and the plant. With this, the Thetacons accepted that Sentinel Prime had been right all along, and an end was called to hostilities. In the wake of the conflict, as new life began to spring on Cybertron, Elita told Optimus of her two sisters in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] and her desire to see them again, and Optimus decided to go with her. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

[[File:Defiance3 labwork RatchetArceeElita.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Elita-One can't get enough of Optimus's eye tits.]]

Elita and her sisters were later present during Sentinel's speech on [[Unification Day]]. She told Optimus that her sisters would have ''killed her'' if they missed it. Elita and Arcee joined Optimus's [[Science Division]], while Chromia became part of Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Years later, when the Science Division unearthed a strange [[The Fallen|relic]] and Cybertron was attacked by the [[Ejoornian|aliens]] of the [[Eshems Nebula]], Megatron changed his military's mission to one of peaceful defense to aggressive offense, taking the fight to the aliens. Elita stayed behind on Cybertron, remaining true to Optimus's belief in the peaceful core values of their planet's society. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Studying the relic fragments they had uncovered alongside Arcee and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Elita discovered that they all bore the same symbol in the same area: a symbol was also on Optimus's head. Drawing a correlation between the symbol and the Dynasty of Primes, Ratchet theorized that Optimus was involved with it somehow, redubbing him "Optimus Prime". {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

When Megatron reformed the military into the [[Decepticon]]s and ordered the Primes to be assassinated, Elita came under fire with Sentinel and Wheeljack at the excavation site. Optimus and Chromia came to their rescue, and they escaped via a tunnel to [[Tyger Pax]]. Elita witnessed the departure of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' with the other [[Autobot]]s, and became one of Optimus's closest advisors with Sentinel and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. With the war tearing Cybertron apart, Sentinel proposed using a "torch" to end the war without further loss of life. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} It required the AllSpark to work: as Optimus battled Megatron at [[Simfur Temple]], Elita successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] and flew to Simfur, but it was all in vain after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew up the ship. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:Foundation4ElitaoneOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Nobody cares about your pain, woman.]]

Elita-One joined a vengeful Optimus Prime in a charge on [[Lord High Protector citadel|Megatron's citadel]]. Shocked at the coldness and violence her old friend was displaying on the battlefield, Elita entreated him to stand down, telling him that such actions were not who he was, but he retorted that Megatron's death was all that mattered. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} She was left behind when Ironhide decided to help Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Though Optimus did not go through with killing Megatron after her sisters stole the AllSpark, Elita still found herself unable to speak to him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Sometime in [[1908]], Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal [[energon]] from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

After the Autobots claimed victory in their first great battle with the Decepticons on Earth in 2007, Starscream began a plan of his own to create an artificial [[Replica AllSpark]], and had Elita-One, [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]], [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], and [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] captured and put to work constructing it at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the AllSpark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} Arcee arrived too late to stop her sister's death, but blew up the generators used to store the life energy in revenge, throwing the Decepticons into disarray. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not long after, Elita-One's remains were acquired by the deranged Decepticon experimentalist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], along with those of her sister Chromia and taken to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartite soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single [[spark]]. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], in the process. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, the sisters, the twins, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ElitaandOptimus.jpg|thumb]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Elita and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's bewilderment that the Autobots were sending their women to do the fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The violent streak his old friend was now displaying gave Optimus Prime pause, reminding him of the time in the past when he too had sunk into the depths of rage, and how Elita had disapproved of it then.

Returning to base after the mission, Elita told Optimus she could feel things from her sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When Starscream attacked [[Philadelphia]] and Sam Witwicky contacted NEST, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left behind due to damage that Arcee was still sustaining. However, in the end Optimus allowed Elita and her sisters to join the mission. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boiled over and she chastised him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and said that she had come back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminded Elita that he too had experienced [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|death]], but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. She and her sisters were dispatched to upstate [[New York (state)|New York]] - thought to be Starscream's base of operations - and destroy it, although they quickly found out they were wrong and that Shockwave was on Earth. Elita tried to contact Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communications and sent his minions after her sisters. She attempted to flee and warn Optimus, but Astrotrain pursued her. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

[[File:Risingstorm4 Elitadies.jpg|thumb|left|She's dead, Jim.]]
After a short chase, Elita eventually got the drop on Astrotrain. A swipe of her blade cleaved his armor, causing him to explode above a building as Elita sped away. She was able to inform Optimus Prime that the events occurring were not Starscream's doing, but were in fact the result of Shockwave's manipulation. Just as she was delivering her message, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack by Shockwave and was brutally killed, while both of her sisters could only helplessly feel her pain as she died for a second time. Shockwave took a look at Elita-1's lifeless head and mockingly 'asked' her if he had interrupted her. Distraught and enraged by her death, Optimus battled the Decepticon and began to gain the upper hand, until Shockwave's pet Driller arrived and rescued the Decepticon. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Shortly after Elita's death, a "grave" was made for her and other Autobots in the form of shipping containers. Optimus Prime dwelled on their deaths for a few minutes, shortly before he left on a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]]. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Elitag.jpg|left||thumb|Strike a pose.]]
In an alternate timeline following the Decepticon victory in Mission City, Elita-One was part of a small team of Autobot reinforcements summoned to Earth by the surviving Autobots on the planet. Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Elita-One reminded [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] that they were to wait until they heard from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], as to act without the Earth-based Autobots' intel would be as good as just shooting themselves in the head there and then. Unfortunately, the Decepticons had detected the arrival, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived to attack them, ironically just as Elita was expressing her desire for a fight. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Starscream's appearance led Elita to mistakenly conclude that the Autobots on Earth must have been destroyed, meaning the mission was a bust, so they team decided to go to Earth themselves—just as Starscream wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

[[File:Elitalendsahand-TwilightsLastGleamingpart4.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75]]
Once on Earth, Elita-One's group unsuccessfully helped Bumblebee in battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The tables turned when the captive Optimus Prime was freed and joined the fight, so Elita hung back and warned Strongarm to keep out of the leaders' battle. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

After the Decepticons were beaten, she was on sentry duty with [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]]. She was too busy swearing to look in more than one direction, causing the Decepticon attack force to reach Savannah without warning simply because they were approaching from behind her. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}} Somehow this didn't get her banned from further sentry duty. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

Elita-One joined Optimus, Longarm, Strongarm and Sky Blast in the [[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]], on a mission to gather [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron. The team was was surprised to find a [[Unicron]]-possessed Cybertron head in their direction after they had blasted off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} She managed to survive Unicron's initial assault against the Autobots' shuttle, and later helped in fending off Unicron's drones while the rest of her team worked out the means to force Unicron into fleeing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

She later piloted the ''[[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]'' on its return flight to Earth, and was ordered to fly on to [[Washington, D.C.]] when it was discovered the Decepticons had taken over the Savannah base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

Elita-1 came to find she had a lot in common with Sideswipe, and would team up to go Decepticon hunting with the Autobot swordsman whenever possible. In particular, the Decepticon bounty hunter [[Axor]] made an interesting challenge for the pair. {{storylink|#TF2010|Elita-1's bio}} Together with her sisters, Elita also got another shot at bringing Sideways down after they begged Optimus Prime to allow them the chance. {{storylink|#SneakAttack|Sideways Sneak Attack}}

When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], powered by [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] attacked multiple [[human]] installations, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] led an Autobot force to combat the crazed Decepticon. Elita-One was among them, along with [[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattorshot]] and [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]]. They fired on Starscream, only managing to anger him, but he was soon blasted by even larger firepower, from a [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] seeking out Starscream's head for his disobedience. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

As Megatron and Starscream battled it out without regard to their Autobot spectators, Elita muttered that she'd rather let the two wear each other down and then take the survivor. However, Optimus Prime knew that keeping their distance would still potentially leave the Unite technology in the wrong hands, meaning the Autobots would have to separate the two and defeat both. While Optimus went after Megatron, he directed Elita and the other Autobots at Starscream. They and Decepticons loyal to Megatron kept Starscream busy until [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was able to arrive and separate Starscream from his Unite technology. With the defunct Starscream still in the care of Elita and the Autobots, Megatron and his Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

*'''Elita-One''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile, 2 tailpipes, scope, projectile launcher, Energon chip
: A pinkish-copper and silver [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] toy, Elita-One transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle of undetermined and probably made-up model. Like previous versions of the mold, she comes with several separate weapon pieces that combine into her Energon bow, which pegs into a hole just above her hand, and an Autobot-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]. These items are cast in black plastic. One must take care when removing her black chip, as the star fits so tightly that careless removal can break her torso. Her deco meticulously matches that of [[Arcee (G1)|Generation 1 Arcee]].

: Elita-One is part of the third wave of Target-[[exclusive]] Scout toys, but is not marked as part of the [[Robo-Vision]] promotion.

: This exact toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]]. This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' [[Arcee (Energon)#Paradron|Ariel Paradron Type]], as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia (G1)#Timelines|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)#Timelines|Flamewar]] and [[Flareup (G1)#Timelines|Flareup]], and Elita-One's fellow Target exclusive, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]].

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and purple(ish) [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Elita-1's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her [[license plate]] has ''3L 174'' written on it as a {{w|leet}} way of spelling her own name ("leet"/"Elita"... get it? Haw haw.). [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:The mold that this Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy), despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

==Notes==
* In both [[IDW Publishing]]'s comics and [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers magazine]], Elita's head (her original body's head, that is) was redesigned to resemble that of [[Elita One (G1)|her Generation 1 counterpart]]. As far as Titan goes, however, apparent lack of communication between artists has meant that this was not consistent across various issues, and that she is sometimes drawn with her toy-based head instead. And there's about a ''million'' different versions of her G1-ised head, one for each Titan artist...
[[File:TakaraWebsiteArceeTriplets.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|~"Wheeere did he go? / That Invisi-bo! / He's a menace to the town and to property / He wants to be in charge of you and me!"]]
*For her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnation, Elita-1's name was originally announced as "Flareup" at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hFSxnIsjE Hasbro's panel] during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009.
**Not long after, at BotCon 2009, it was claimed that she was going to be a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee.
**The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. A vestigal reference to this can be found in fold-out tabs attached to their action figures, but with Elita's relegation to a redeco, no real combination appears possible with the toys.
**Yeah, plans changed a lot with Elita.
*The third motorcycle in the movie was actually an {{w|MV Agusta F4 series|MV Agusta F4}}, a different model from both Arcee's {{w|Ducati 848}} and Chromia's {{w|Suzuki B-King}}.
*In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 gold], [[:File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|green, or silver]]. Which portions of these monstrosities may have originally been Elita-1 is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, in the "Lamborghini Jump" animatic featured on the "Deconstructing Visual Bayhem" segment of the ROTF special features disk, the third member of the Arcee combiner is [[:File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|yellow]].
*A piece of (adorable!) TakaraTomy website art shows Chromia with her finalized design, but the other two bike girls as pink and red versions of Arcee. As Arcee's toy is red, this would ''ostensibly'' make the pink one Elita-1...despite her film design being entirely different and her toy being a redeco of Chromia.
*''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] is actually Elita-1's model in Chromia's colors.
*While the film is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shot that takes down Elita is fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would claim that all three Arcee components were killed <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blue-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090406032626/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref>

[[File:Elita-oneros4.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|For once, we know what a version of Elita turns into.]]
'''Elita-One''' (also '''Elita-1''') is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which by no means displeases her, but she's more than a pretty face. She's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. When it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Older sister to [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and one of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] closest and longest-serving officers, Elita-One shares the Autobot commander's compassion and dedication for protecting the innocent and downtrodden. Every bit as skilled as she is compassionate, Elita-One is one of the Autobots' strongest leaders. Determined to protect the weaker from the ruthless Decepticons to the bitter end, she's a living definition of an Autobot.

[[File:ROTF Elita-1 in Egypt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Elita-1? Flareup? Call me anything but Sweetie.]]
Elita-1 and her sisters were held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, the sisters pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in their way, but ultimately they weren't able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and proceeded to make short work of Sideways.

When [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia, but NEST disobeyed the orders, instead shipping Elita and the others to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect the recently-deceased Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, the sisters arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help escort Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] through the warzone, but Elita-1 was one of the first Autobot casualties of the battle, being shot down from behind as she called for Sam and Mikaela to follow them. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Elita-One was one of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s followers, alongside Optimus, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], and others who believed in his teachings of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] and the [[AllSpark]]. When Sentinel Prime proved the truth of his claims by unearthing the lost AllSpark from beneath the surface of Cybertron at [[Simfur]], Elita helped defend it against an attack by the non-believing [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]] until [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] was able to warp time and space and bring a sun into Cybertronic space, thereby repowering the AllSpark and the plant. With this, the Thetacons accepted that Sentinel Prime had been right all along, and an end was called to hostilities. In the wake of the conflict, as new life began to spring on Cybertron, Elita told Optimus of her two sisters in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] and her desire to see them again, and Optimus decided to go with her. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

[[File:Defiance3 labwork RatchetArceeElita.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Elita-One can't get enough of Optimus's eye tits.]]

Elita and her sisters were later present during Sentinel's speech on [[Unification Day]]. She told Optimus that her sisters would have ''killed her'' if they missed it. Elita and Arcee joined Optimus's [[Science Division]], while Chromia became part of Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Years later, when the Science Division unearthed a strange [[The Fallen|relic]] and Cybertron was attacked by the [[Ejoornian|aliens]] of the [[Eshems Nebula]], Megatron changed his military's mission to one of peaceful defense to aggressive offense, taking the fight to the aliens. Elita stayed behind on Cybertron, remaining true to Optimus's belief in the peaceful core values of their planet's society. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Studying the relic fragments they had uncovered alongside Arcee and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Elita discovered that they all bore the same symbol in the same area: a symbol was also on Optimus's head. Drawing a correlation between the symbol and the Dynasty of Primes, Ratchet theorized that Optimus was involved with it somehow, redubbing him "Optimus Prime". {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

When Megatron reformed the military into the [[Decepticon]]s and ordered the Primes to be assassinated, Elita came under fire with Sentinel and Wheeljack at the excavation site. Optimus and Chromia came to their rescue, and they escaped via a tunnel to [[Tyger Pax]]. Elita witnessed the departure of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' with the other [[Autobot]]s, and became one of Optimus's closest advisors with Sentinel and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. With the war tearing Cybertron apart, Sentinel proposed using a "torch" to end the war without further loss of life. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} It required the AllSpark to work: as Optimus battled Megatron at [[Simfur Temple]], Elita successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] and flew to Simfur, but it was all in vain after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew up the ship. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:Foundation4ElitaoneOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Nobody cares about your pain, woman.]]

Elita-One joined a vengeful Optimus Prime in a charge on [[Lord High Protector citadel|Megatron's citadel]]. Shocked at the coldness and violence her old friend was displaying on the battlefield, Elita entreated him to stand down, telling him that such actions were not who he was, but he retorted that Megatron's death was all that mattered. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} She was left behind when Ironhide decided to help Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Though Optimus did not go through with killing Megatron after her sisters stole the AllSpark, Elita still found herself unable to speak to him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Sometime in [[1908]], Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal [[energon]] from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

After the Autobots claimed victory in their first great battle with the Decepticons on Earth in 2007, Starscream began a plan of his own to create an artificial [[Replica AllSpark]], and had Elita-One, [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]], [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], and [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] captured and put to work constructing it at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the AllSpark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} Arcee arrived too late to stop her sister's death, but blew up the generators used to store the life energy in revenge, throwing the Decepticons into disarray. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not long after, Elita-One's remains were acquired by the deranged Decepticon experimentalist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], along with those of her sister Chromia and taken to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartite soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single [[spark]]. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], in the process. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, the sisters, the twins, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ElitaandOptimus.jpg|thumb]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Elita and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's bewilderment that the Autobots were sending their women to do the fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The violent streak his old friend was now displaying gave Optimus Prime pause, reminding him of the time in the past when he too had sunk into the depths of rage, and how Elita had disapproved of it then.

Returning to base after the mission, Elita told Optimus she could feel things from her sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When Starscream attacked [[Philadelphia]] and Sam Witwicky contacted NEST, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left behind due to damage that Arcee was still sustaining. However, in the end Optimus allowed Elita and her sisters to join the mission. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boiled over and she chastised him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and said that she had come back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminded Elita that he too had experienced [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|death]], but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. She and her sisters were dispatched to upstate [[New York (state)|New York]] - thought to be Starscream's base of operations - and destroy it, although they quickly found out they were wrong and that Shockwave was on Earth. Elita tried to contact Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communications and sent his minions after her sisters. She attempted to flee and warn Optimus, but Astrotrain pursued her. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

[[File:Risingstorm4 Elitadies.jpg|thumb|left|She's dead, Jim.]]
After a short chase, Elita eventually got the drop on Astrotrain. A swipe of her blade cleaved his armor, causing him to explode above a building as Elita sped away. She was able to inform Optimus Prime that the events occurring were not Starscream's doing, but were in fact the result of Shockwave's manipulation. Just as she was delivering her message, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack by Shockwave and was brutally killed, while both of her sisters could only helplessly feel her pain as she died for a second time. Shockwave took a look at Elita-1's lifeless head and mockingly 'asked' her if he had interrupted her. Distraught and enraged by her death, Optimus battled the Decepticon and began to gain the upper hand, until Shockwave's pet Driller arrived and rescued the Decepticon. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Shortly after Elita's death, a "grave" was made for her and other Autobots in the form of shipping containers. Optimus Prime dwelled on their deaths for a few minutes, shortly before he left on a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]]. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Elitag.jpg|left||thumb|Strike a pose.]]
In an alternate timeline following the Decepticon victory in Mission City, Elita-One was part of a small team of Autobot reinforcements summoned to Earth by the surviving Autobots on the planet. Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Elita-One reminded [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] that they were to wait until they heard from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], as to act without the Earth-based Autobots' intel would be as good as just shooting themselves in the head there and then. Unfortunately, the Decepticons had detected the arrival, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived to attack them, ironically just as Elita was expressing her desire for a fight. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Starscream's appearance led Elita to mistakenly conclude that the Autobots on Earth must have been destroyed, meaning the mission was a bust, so they team decided to go to Earth themselves—just as Starscream wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

[[File:Elitalendsahand-TwilightsLastGleamingpart4.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75]]
Once on Earth, Elita-One's group unsuccessfully helped Bumblebee in battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The tables turned when the captive Optimus Prime was freed and joined the fight, so Elita hung back and warned Strongarm to keep out of the leaders' battle. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

After the Decepticons were beaten, she was on sentry duty with [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]]. She was too busy swearing to look in more than one direction, causing the Decepticon attack force to reach Savannah without warning simply because they were approaching from behind her. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}} Somehow this didn't get her banned from further sentry duty. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

Elita-One joined Optimus, Longarm, Strongarm and Sky Blast in the [[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]], on a mission to gather [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron. The team was was surprised to find a [[Unicron]]-possessed Cybertron head in their direction after they had blasted off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} She managed to survive Unicron's initial assault against the Autobots' shuttle, and later helped in fending off Unicron's drones while the rest of her team worked out the means to force Unicron into fleeing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

She later piloted the ''[[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]'' on its return flight to Earth, and was ordered to fly on to [[Washington, D.C.]] when it was discovered the Decepticons had taken over the Savannah base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

Elita-1 came to find she had a lot in common with Sideswipe, and would team up to go Decepticon hunting with the Autobot swordsman whenever possible. In particular, the Decepticon bounty hunter [[Axor]] made an interesting challenge for the pair. {{storylink|#TF2010|Elita-1's bio}} Together with her sisters, Elita also got another shot at bringing Sideways down after they begged Optimus Prime to allow them the chance. {{storylink|#SneakAttack|Sideways Sneak Attack}}

When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], powered by [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] attacked multiple [[human]] installations, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] led an Autobot force to combat the crazed Decepticon. Elita-One was among them, along with [[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattorshot]] and [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]]. They fired on Starscream, only managing to anger him, but he was soon blasted by even larger firepower, from a [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] seeking out Starscream's head for his disobedience. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

As Megatron and Starscream battled it out without regard to their Autobot spectators, Elita muttered that she'd rather let the two wear each other down and then take the survivor. However, Optimus Prime knew that keeping their distance would still potentially leave the Unite technology in the wrong hands, meaning the Autobots would have to separate the two and defeat both. While Optimus went after Megatron, he directed Elita and the other Autobots at Starscream. They and Decepticons loyal to Megatron kept Starscream busy until [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was able to arrive and separate Starscream from his Unite technology. With the defunct Starscream still in the care of Elita and the Autobots, Megatron and his Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

*'''Elita-One''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile, 2 tailpipes, scope, projectile launcher, Energon chip
: A pinkish-copper and silver [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] toy, Elita-One transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle of undetermined and probably made-up model. Like previous versions of the mold, she comes with several separate weapon pieces that combine into her Energon bow, which pegs into a hole just above her hand, and an Autobot-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]. These items are cast in black plastic. One must take care when removing her black chip, as the star fits so tightly that careless removal can break her torso. Her deco meticulously matches that of [[Arcee (G1)|Generation 1 Arcee]].

: Elita-One is part of the third wave of Target-[[exclusive]] Scout toys, but is not marked as part of the [[Robo-Vision]] promotion.

: This exact toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]]. This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' [[Arcee (Energon)#Paradron|Ariel Paradron Type]], as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia (G1)#Timelines|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)#Timelines|Flamewar]] and [[Flareup (G1)#Timelines|Flareup]], and Elita-One's fellow Target exclusive, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]].

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and purple(ish) [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Elita-1's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her [[license plate]] has ''3L 174'' written on it as a {{w|leet}} way of spelling her own name ("leet"/"Elita"... get it? Haw haw.). [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:The mold that this Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy), despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

:Elita-One is an all new mold based on her appearance in the second film, transforming into a MV Agusta F4. She comes packaged with her sisters [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Arcee (Movie)#Studio Series|Arcee]], each with their own new unique molds. They are priced at a deluxe class $20, making them the smallest figures of the ''Studio Series'' line to date.

==Notes==
* In both [[IDW Publishing]]'s comics and [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers magazine]], Elita's head (her original body's head, that is) was redesigned to resemble that of [[Elita One (G1)|her Generation 1 counterpart]]. As far as Titan goes, however, apparent lack of communication between artists has meant that this was not consistent across various issues, and that she is sometimes drawn with her toy-based head instead. And there's about a ''million'' different versions of her G1-ised head, one for each Titan artist...
[[File:TakaraWebsiteArceeTriplets.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|~"Wheeere did he go? / That Invisi-bo! / He's a menace to the town and to property / He wants to be in charge of you and me!"]]
*For her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnation, Elita-1's name was originally announced as "Flareup" at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hFSxnIsjE Hasbro's panel] during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009.
**Not long after, at BotCon 2009, it was claimed that she was going to be a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee.
**The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. A vestigal reference to this can be found in fold-out tabs attached to their action figures, but with Elita's relegation to a redeco, no real combination appears possible with the toys.
**Yeah, plans changed a lot with Elita.
*The third motorcycle in the movie was actually an {{w|MV Agusta F4 series|MV Agusta F4}}, a different model from both Arcee's {{w|Ducati 848}} and Chromia's {{w|Suzuki B-King}}.
*In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 gold], [[:File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|green, or silver]]. Which portions of these monstrosities may have originally been Elita-1 is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, in the "Lamborghini Jump" animatic featured on the "Deconstructing Visual Bayhem" segment of the ROTF special features disk, the third member of the Arcee combiner is [[:File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|yellow]].
*A piece of (adorable!) TakaraTomy website art shows Chromia with her finalized design, but the other two bike girls as pink and red versions of Arcee. As Arcee's toy is red, this would ''ostensibly'' make the pink one Elita-1...despite her film design being entirely different and her toy being a redeco of Chromia.
*''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] is actually Elita-1's model in Chromia's colors.
*While the film is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shot that takes down Elita is fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would claim that all three Arcee components were killed <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blue-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090406032626/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref>

[[File:Elita-oneros4.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|For once, we know what a version of Elita turns into.]]
'''Elita-One''' (also '''Elita-1''') is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which by no means displeases her, but she's more than a pretty face. She's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. When it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Older sister to [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and one of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] closest and longest-serving officers, Elita-One shares the Autobot commander's compassion and dedication for protecting the innocent and downtrodden. Every bit as skilled as she is compassionate, Elita-One is one of the Autobots' strongest leaders. Determined to protect the weaker from the ruthless Decepticons to the bitter end, she's a living definition of an Autobot.

[[File:ROTF Elita-1 in Egypt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Elita-1? Flareup? Call me anything but Sweetie.]]
Elita-1 and her sisters were held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, the sisters pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in their way, but ultimately they weren't able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and proceeded to make short work of Sideways.

When [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia, but NEST disobeyed the orders, instead shipping Elita and the others to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect the recently-deceased Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, the sisters arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help escort Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] through the warzone, but Elita-1 was one of the first Autobot casualties of the battle, being shot down from behind as she called for Sam and Mikaela to follow them. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Elita-One was one of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s followers, alongside Optimus, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], and others who believed in his teachings of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] and the [[AllSpark]]. When Sentinel Prime proved the truth of his claims by unearthing the lost AllSpark from beneath the surface of Cybertron at [[Simfur]], Elita helped defend it against an attack by the non-believing [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]] until [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] was able to warp time and space and bring a sun into Cybertronic space, thereby repowering the AllSpark and the plant. With this, the Thetacons accepted that Sentinel Prime had been right all along, and an end was called to hostilities. In the wake of the conflict, as new life began to spring on Cybertron, Elita told Optimus of her two sisters in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] and her desire to see them again, and Optimus decided to go with her. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

[[File:Defiance3 labwork RatchetArceeElita.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Elita-One can't get enough of Optimus's eye tits.]]

Elita and her sisters were later present during Sentinel's speech on [[Unification Day]]. She told Optimus that her sisters would have ''killed her'' if they missed it. Elita and Arcee joined Optimus's [[Science Division]], while Chromia became part of Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Years later, when the Science Division unearthed a strange [[The Fallen|relic]] and Cybertron was attacked by the [[Ejoornian|aliens]] of the [[Eshems Nebula]], Megatron changed his military's mission to one of peaceful defense to aggressive offense, taking the fight to the aliens. Elita stayed behind on Cybertron, remaining true to Optimus's belief in the peaceful core values of their planet's society. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Studying the relic fragments they had uncovered alongside Arcee and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Elita discovered that they all bore the same symbol in the same area: a symbol was also on Optimus's head. Drawing a correlation between the symbol and the Dynasty of Primes, Ratchet theorized that Optimus was involved with it somehow, redubbing him "Optimus Prime". {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

When Megatron reformed the military into the [[Decepticon]]s and ordered the Primes to be assassinated, Elita came under fire with Sentinel and Wheeljack at the excavation site. Optimus and Chromia came to their rescue, and they escaped via a tunnel to [[Tyger Pax]]. Elita witnessed the departure of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' with the other [[Autobot]]s, and became one of Optimus's closest advisors with Sentinel and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. With the war tearing Cybertron apart, Sentinel proposed using a "torch" to end the war without further loss of life. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} It required the AllSpark to work: as Optimus battled Megatron at [[Simfur Temple]], Elita successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] and flew to Simfur, but it was all in vain after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew up the ship. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:Foundation4ElitaoneOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Nobody cares about your pain, woman.]]

Elita-One joined a vengeful Optimus Prime in a charge on [[Lord High Protector citadel|Megatron's citadel]]. Shocked at the coldness and violence her old friend was displaying on the battlefield, Elita entreated him to stand down, telling him that such actions were not who he was, but he retorted that Megatron's death was all that mattered. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} She was left behind when Ironhide decided to help Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Though Optimus did not go through with killing Megatron after her sisters stole the AllSpark, Elita still found herself unable to speak to him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Sometime in [[1908]], Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal [[energon]] from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

After the Autobots claimed victory in their first great battle with the Decepticons on Earth in 2007, Starscream began a plan of his own to create an artificial [[Replica AllSpark]], and had Elita-One, [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]], [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], and [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] captured and put to work constructing it at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the AllSpark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} Arcee arrived too late to stop her sister's death, but blew up the generators used to store the life energy in revenge, throwing the Decepticons into disarray. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not long after, Elita-One's remains were acquired by the deranged Decepticon experimentalist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], along with those of her sister Chromia and taken to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartite soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single [[spark]]. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], in the process. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, the sisters, the twins, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ElitaandOptimus.jpg|thumb]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Elita and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's bewilderment that the Autobots were sending their women to do the fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The violent streak his old friend was now displaying gave Optimus Prime pause, reminding him of the time in the past when he too had sunk into the depths of rage, and how Elita had disapproved of it then.

Returning to base after the mission, Elita told Optimus she could feel things from her sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When Starscream attacked [[Philadelphia]] and Sam Witwicky contacted NEST, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left behind due to damage that Arcee was still sustaining. However, in the end Optimus allowed Elita and her sisters to join the mission. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boiled over and she chastised him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and said that she had come back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminded Elita that he too had experienced [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|death]], but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. She and her sisters were dispatched to upstate [[New York (state)|New York]] - thought to be Starscream's base of operations - and destroy it, although they quickly found out they were wrong and that Shockwave was on Earth. Elita tried to contact Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communications and sent his minions after her sisters. She attempted to flee and warn Optimus, but Astrotrain pursued her. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

[[File:Risingstorm4 Elitadies.jpg|thumb|left|She's dead, Jim.]]
After a short chase, Elita eventually got the drop on Astrotrain. A swipe of her blade cleaved his armor, causing him to explode above a building as Elita sped away. She was able to inform Optimus Prime that the events occurring were not Starscream's doing, but were in fact the result of Shockwave's manipulation. Just as she was delivering her message, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack by Shockwave and was brutally killed, while both of her sisters could only helplessly feel her pain as she died for a second time. Shockwave took a look at Elita-1's lifeless head and mockingly 'asked' her if he had interrupted her. Distraught and enraged by her death, Optimus battled the Decepticon and began to gain the upper hand, until Shockwave's pet Driller arrived and rescued the Decepticon. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Shortly after Elita's death, a "grave" was made for her and other Autobots in the form of shipping containers. Optimus Prime dwelled on their deaths for a few minutes, shortly before he left on a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]]. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

[[File:Elitag.jpg|left||thumb|Strike a pose.]]
In an alternate timeline following the Decepticon victory in Mission City, Elita-One was part of a small team of Autobot reinforcements summoned to Earth by the surviving Autobots on the planet. Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Elita-One reminded [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] that they were to wait until they heard from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], as to act without the Earth-based Autobots' intel would be as good as just shooting themselves in the head there and then. Unfortunately, the Decepticons had detected the arrival, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived to attack them, ironically just as Elita was expressing her desire for a fight. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Starscream's appearance led Elita to mistakenly conclude that the Autobots on Earth must have been destroyed, meaning the mission was a bust, so they team decided to go to Earth themselves—just as Starscream wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

[[File:Elitalendsahand-TwilightsLastGleamingpart4.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75]]
Once on Earth, Elita-One's group unsuccessfully helped Bumblebee in battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The tables turned when the captive Optimus Prime was freed and joined the fight, so Elita hung back and warned Strongarm to keep out of the leaders' battle. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

After the Decepticons were beaten, she was on sentry duty with [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]]. She was too busy swearing to look in more than one direction, causing the Decepticon attack force to reach Savannah without warning simply because they were approaching from behind her. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}} Somehow this didn't get her banned from further sentry duty. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

Elita-One joined Optimus, Longarm, Strongarm and Sky Blast in the [[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]], on a mission to gather [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron. The team was was surprised to find a [[Unicron]]-possessed Cybertron head in their direction after they had blasted off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} She managed to survive Unicron's initial assault against the Autobots' shuttle, and later helped in fending off Unicron's drones while the rest of her team worked out the means to force Unicron into fleeing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

She later piloted the ''[[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]'' on its return flight to Earth, and was ordered to fly on to [[Washington, D.C.]] when it was discovered the Decepticons had taken over the Savannah base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

Elita-1 came to find she had a lot in common with Sideswipe, and would team up to go Decepticon hunting with the Autobot swordsman whenever possible. In particular, the Decepticon bounty hunter [[Axor]] made an interesting challenge for the pair. {{storylink|#TF2010|Elita-1's bio}} Together with her sisters, Elita also got another shot at bringing Sideways down after they begged Optimus Prime to allow them the chance. {{storylink|#SneakAttack|Sideways Sneak Attack}}

When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], powered by [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] attacked multiple [[human]] installations, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] led an Autobot force to combat the crazed Decepticon. Elita-One was among them, along with [[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattorshot]] and [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]]. They fired on Starscream, only managing to anger him, but he was soon blasted by even larger firepower, from a [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] seeking out Starscream's head for his disobedience. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

As Megatron and Starscream battled it out without regard to their Autobot spectators, Elita muttered that she'd rather let the two wear each other down and then take the survivor. However, Optimus Prime knew that keeping their distance would still potentially leave the Unite technology in the wrong hands, meaning the Autobots would have to separate the two and defeat both. While Optimus went after Megatron, he directed Elita and the other Autobots at Starscream. They and Decepticons loyal to Megatron kept Starscream busy until [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was able to arrive and separate Starscream from his Unite technology. With the defunct Starscream still in the care of Elita and the Autobots, Megatron and his Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

*'''Elita-One''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile, 2 tailpipes, scope, projectile launcher, Energon chip
: A pinkish-copper and silver [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] toy, Elita-One transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle of undetermined and probably made-up model. Like previous versions of the mold, she comes with several separate weapon pieces that combine into her Energon bow, which pegs into a hole just above her hand, and an Autobot-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]. These items are cast in black plastic. One must take care when removing her black chip, as the star fits so tightly that careless removal can break her torso. Her deco meticulously matches that of [[Arcee (G1)|Generation 1 Arcee]].

: Elita-One is part of the third wave of Target-[[exclusive]] Scout toys, but is not marked as part of the [[Robo-Vision]] promotion.

: This exact toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and purple(ish) [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Elita-1's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her [[license plate]] has ''3L 174'' written on it as a {{w|leet}} way of spelling her own name ("leet"/"Elita"... get it? Haw haw.). [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

:The mold that this Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy), despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

==Notes==
* In both [[IDW Publishing]]'s comics and [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers magazine]], Elita's head (her original body's head, that is) was redesigned to resemble that of [[Elita One (G1)|her Generation 1 counterpart]]. As far as Titan goes, however, apparent lack of communication between artists has meant that this was not consistent across various issues, and that she is sometimes drawn with her toy-based head instead. And there's about a ''million'' different versions of her G1-ised head, one for each Titan artist...
[[File:TakaraWebsiteArceeTriplets.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|~"Wheeere did he go? / That Invisi-bo! / He's a menace to the town and to property / He wants to be in charge of you and me!"]]
*For her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnation, Elita-1's name was originally announced as "Flareup" at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hFSxnIsjE Hasbro's panel] during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009.
**Not long after, at BotCon 2009, it was claimed that she was going to be a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee.
**The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. A vestigal reference to this can be found in fold-out tabs attached to their action figures, but with Elita's relegation to a redeco, no real combination appears possible with the toys.
**Yeah, plans changed a lot with Elita.
*The third motorcycle in the movie was actually an {{w|MV Agusta F4 series|MV Agusta F4}}, a different model from both Arcee's {{w|Ducati 848}} and Chromia's {{w|Suzuki B-King}}.
*In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 gold], [[:File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|green, or silver]]. Which portions of these monstrosities may have originally been Elita-1 is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, in the "Lamborghini Jump" animatic featured on the "Deconstructing Visual Bayhem" segment of the ROTF special features disk, the third member of the Arcee combiner is [[:File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|yellow]].
*A piece of (adorable!) TakaraTomy website art shows Chromia with her finalized design, but the other two bike girls as pink and red versions of Arcee. As Arcee's toy is red, this would ''ostensibly'' make the pink one Elita-1...despite her film design being entirely different and her toy being a redeco of Chromia.
*''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] is actually Elita-1's model in Chromia's colors.
*While the film is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shot that takes down Elita is fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would claim that all three Arcee components were killed <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blue-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090406032626/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref>

[[File:Elita-oneros4.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|For once, we know what a version of Elita turns into.]]
'''Elita-One''' (also '''Elita-1''') is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which by no means displeases her, but she's more than a pretty face. She's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. When it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Older sister to [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and one of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] closest and longest-serving officers, Elita-One shares the Autobot commander's compassion and dedication for protecting the innocent and downtrodden. Every bit as skilled as she is compassionate, Elita-One is one of the Autobots' strongest leaders. Determined to protect the weaker from the ruthless Decepticons to the bitter end, she's a living definition of an Autobot.

[[File:ROTF Elita-1 in Egypt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Elita-1? Flareup? Call me anything but Sweetie.]]
Elita-1 and her sisters were held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, the sisters pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in their way, but ultimately they weren't able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and proceeded to make short work of Sideways.

When [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia, but NEST disobeyed the orders, instead shipping Elita and the others to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect the recently-deceased Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, the sisters arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help escort Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] through the warzone, but Elita-1 was one of the first Autobot casualties of the battle, being shot down from behind as she called for Sam and Mikaela to follow them. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Elita-One was one of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s followers, alongside Optimus, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], and others who believed in his teachings of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] and the [[AllSpark]]. When Sentinel Prime proved the truth of his claims by unearthing the lost AllSpark from beneath the surface of Cybertron at [[Simfur]], Elita helped defend it against an attack by the non-believing [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]] until [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] was able to warp time and space and bring a sun into Cybertronic space, thereby repowering the AllSpark and the plant. With this, the Thetacons accepted that Sentinel Prime had been right all along, and an end was called to hostilities. In the wake of the conflict, as new life began to spring on Cybertron, Elita told Optimus of her two sisters in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] and her desire to see them again, and Optimus decided to go with her. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

[[File:Defiance3 labwork RatchetArceeElita.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Elita-One can't get enough of Optimus's eye tits.]]

Elita and her sisters were later present during Sentinel's speech on [[Unification Day]]. She told Optimus that her sisters would have ''killed her'' if they missed it. Elita and Arcee joined Optimus's [[Science Division]], while Chromia became part of Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Years later, when the Science Division unearthed a strange [[The Fallen|relic]] and Cybertron was attacked by the [[Ejoornian|aliens]] of the [[Eshems Nebula]], Megatron changed his military's mission to one of peaceful defense to aggressive offense, taking the fight to the aliens. Elita stayed behind on Cybertron, remaining true to Optimus's belief in the peaceful core values of their planet's society. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Studying the relic fragments they had uncovered alongside Arcee and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Elita discovered that they all bore the same symbol in the same area: a symbol was also on Optimus's head. Drawing a correlation between the symbol and the Dynasty of Primes, Ratchet theorized that Optimus was involved with it somehow, redubbing him "Optimus Prime". {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

When Megatron reformed the military into the [[Decepticon]]s and ordered the Primes to be assassinated, Elita came under fire with Sentinel and Wheeljack at the excavation site. Optimus and Chromia came to their rescue, and they escaped via a tunnel to [[Tyger Pax]]. Elita witnessed the departure of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' with the other [[Autobot]]s, and became one of Optimus's closest advisors with Sentinel and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. With the war tearing Cybertron apart, Sentinel proposed using a "torch" to end the war without further loss of life. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} It required the AllSpark to work: as Optimus battled Megatron at [[Simfur Temple]], Elita successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] and flew to Simfur, but it was all in vain after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew up the ship. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:Foundation4ElitaoneOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Nobody cares about your pain, woman.]]

Elita-One joined a vengeful Optimus Prime in a charge on [[Lord High Protector citadel|Megatron's citadel]]. Shocked at the coldness and violence her old friend was displaying on the battlefield, Elita entreated him to stand down, telling him that such actions were not who he was, but he retorted that Megatron's death was all that mattered. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} She was left behind when Ironhide decided to help Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Though Optimus did not go through with killing Megatron after her sisters stole the AllSpark, Elita still found herself unable to speak to him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Sometime in [[1908]], Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal [[energon]] from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

After the Autobots claimed victory in their first great battle with the Decepticons on Earth in 2007, Starscream began a plan of his own to create an artificial [[Replica AllSpark]], and had Elita-One, [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]], [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], and [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] captured and put to work constructing it at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the AllSpark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} Arcee arrived too late to stop her sister's death, but blew up the generators used to store the life energy in revenge, throwing the Decepticons into disarray. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not long after, Elita-One's remains were acquired by the deranged Decepticon experimentalist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], along with those of her sister Chromia and taken to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartite soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single [[spark]]. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], in the process. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, the sisters, the twins, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ElitaandOptimus.jpg|thumb]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Elita and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's bewilderment that the Autobots were sending their women to do the fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The violent streak his old friend was now displaying gave Optimus Prime pause, reminding him of the time in the past when he too had sunk into the depths of rage, and how Elita had disapproved of it then.

Returning to base after the mission, Elita told Optimus she could feel things from her sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When Starscream attacked [[Philadelphia]] and Sam Witwicky contacted NEST, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left behind due to damage that Arcee was still sustaining. However, in the end Optimus allowed Elita and her sisters to join the mission. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boiled over and she chastised him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and said that she had come back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminded Elita that he too had experienced [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|death]], but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. She and her sisters were dispatched to upstate [[New York (state)|New York]] - thought to be Starscream's base of operations - and destroy it, although they quickly found out they were wrong and that Shockwave was on Earth. Elita tried to contact Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communications and sent his minions after her sisters. She attempted to flee and warn Optimus, but Astrotrain pursued her. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

[[File:Risingstorm4 Elitadies.jpg|thumb|left|She's dead, Jim.]]
After a short chase, Elita eventually got the drop on Astrotrain. A swipe of her blade cleaved his armor, causing him to explode above a building as Elita sped away. She was able to inform Optimus Prime that the events occurring were not Starscream's doing, but were in fact the result of Shockwave's manipulation. Just as she was delivering her message, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack by Shockwave and was brutally killed, while both of her sisters could only helplessly feel her pain as she died for a second time. Shockwave took a look at Elita-1's lifeless head and mockingly 'asked' her if he had interrupted her. Distraught and enraged by her death, Optimus battled the Decepticon and began to gain the upper hand, until Shockwave's pet Driller arrived and rescued the Decepticon. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Shortly after Elita's death, a "grave" was made for her and other Autobots in the form of shipping containers. Optimus Prime dwelled on their deaths for a few minutes, shortly before he left on a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]]. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

===Titan movie comics===
[[File:Elitag.jpg|left||thumb|Strike a pose.]]
In an alternate timeline following the Decepticon victory in Mission City, Elita-One was part of a small team of Autobot reinforcements summoned to Earth by the surviving Autobots on the planet. Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Elita-One reminded [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] that they were to wait until they heard from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], as to act without the Earth-based Autobots' intel would be as good as just shooting themselves in the head there and then. Unfortunately, the Decepticons had detected the arrival, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived to attack them, ironically just as Elita was expressing her desire for a fight. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Starscream's appearance led Elita to mistakenly conclude that the Autobots on Earth must have been destroyed, meaning the mission was a bust, so they team decided to go to Earth themselves—just as Starscream wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

[[File:Elitalendsahand-TwilightsLastGleamingpart4.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75]]
Once on Earth, Elita-One's group unsuccessfully helped Bumblebee in battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The tables turned when the captive Optimus Prime was freed and joined the fight, so Elita hung back and warned Strongarm to keep out of the leaders' battle. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

After the Decepticons were beaten, she was on sentry duty with [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]]. She was too busy swearing to look in more than one direction, causing the Decepticon attack force to reach Savannah without warning simply because they were approaching from behind her. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}} Somehow this didn't get her banned from further sentry duty. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

Elita-One joined Optimus, Longarm, Strongarm and Sky Blast in the [[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]], on a mission to gather [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron. The team was was surprised to find a [[Unicron]]-possessed Cybertron head in their direction after they had blasted off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} She managed to survive Unicron's initial assault against the Autobots' shuttle, and later helped in fending off Unicron's drones while the rest of her team worked out the means to force Unicron into fleeing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

She later piloted the ''[[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]'' on its return flight to Earth, and was ordered to fly on to [[Washington, D.C.]] when it was discovered the Decepticons had taken over the Savannah base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

Elita-1 came to find she had a lot in common with Sideswipe, and would team up to go Decepticon hunting with the Autobot swordsman whenever possible. In particular, the Decepticon bounty hunter [[Axor]] made an interesting challenge for the pair. {{storylink|#TF2010|Elita-1's bio}} Together with her sisters, Elita also got another shot at bringing Sideways down after they begged Optimus Prime to allow them the chance. {{storylink|#SneakAttack|Sideways Sneak Attack}}

When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], powered by [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] attacked multiple [[human]] installations, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] led an Autobot force to combat the crazed Decepticon. Elita-One was among them, along with [[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattorshot]] and [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]]. They fired on Starscream, only managing to anger him, but he was soon blasted by even larger firepower, from a [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] seeking out Starscream's head for his disobedience. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

As Megatron and Starscream battled it out without regard to their Autobot spectators, Elita muttered that she'd rather let the two wear each other down and then take the survivor. However, Optimus Prime knew that keeping their distance would still potentially leave the Unite technology in the wrong hands, meaning the Autobots would have to separate the two and defeat both. While Optimus went after Megatron, he directed Elita and the other Autobots at Starscream. They and Decepticons loyal to Megatron kept Starscream busy until [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was able to arrive and separate Starscream from his Unite technology. With the defunct Starscream still in the care of Elita and the Autobots, Megatron and his Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

*'''Elita-One''' (Scout, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile, 2 tailpipes, scope, projectile launcher, Energon chip
: A pinkish-copper and silver [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]] toy, Elita-One transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle of undetermined and probably made-up model. Like previous versions of the mold, she comes with several separate weapon pieces that combine into her Energon bow, which pegs into a hole just above her hand, and an Autobot-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]. These items are cast in black plastic. One must take care when removing her black chip, as the star fits so tightly that careless removal can break her torso. Her deco meticulously matches that of [[Arcee (G1)|Generation 1 Arcee]].

: Elita-One is part of the third wave of Target-[[exclusive]] Scout toys, but is not marked as part of the [[Robo-Vision]] promotion.

: This exact toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]]. This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' [[Arcee (Energon)#Paradron|Ariel Paradron Type]], as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' set's [[Chromia (G1)#Timelines|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)#Timelines|Flamewar]] and [[Flareup (G1)#Timelines|Flareup]], and Elita-One's fellow Target exclusive, [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]].

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and purple(ish) [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Elita-1's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her [[license plate]] has ''3L 174'' written on it as a {{w|leet}} way of spelling her own name ("leet"/"Elita"... get it? Haw haw.). [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

The set furthermore includes a redeco of Deluxe class [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], whose painted battle damage evokes the scene in the film where he's been cut in half. Ouchies.

:The mold that this Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy), despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

:Elita-One is an all new mold based on her appearance in the second film, transforming into a MV Agusta F4. She comes packaged with her sisters [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Arcee (Movie)#Studio Series|Arcee]], each with their own new unique molds. They are priced at a deluxe class $20, making them the smallest figures of the ''Studio Series'' line to date.

==Notes==
* In both [[IDW Publishing]]'s comics and [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers magazine]], Elita's head (her original body's head, that is) was redesigned to resemble that of [[Elita One (G1)|her Generation 1 counterpart]]. As far as Titan goes, however, apparent lack of communication between artists has meant that this was not consistent across various issues, and that she is sometimes drawn with her toy-based head instead. And there's about a ''million'' different versions of her G1-ised head, one for each Titan artist...
[[File:TakaraWebsiteArceeTriplets.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|~"Wheeere did he go? / That Invisi-bo! / He's a menace to the town and to property / He wants to be in charge of you and me!"]]
*For her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnation, Elita-1's name was originally announced as "Flareup" at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hFSxnIsjE Hasbro's panel] during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009.
**Not long after, at BotCon 2009, it was claimed that she was going to be a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee.
**The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. A vestigal reference to this can be found in fold-out tabs attached to their action figures, but with Elita's relegation to a redeco, no real combination appears possible with the toys.
**Yeah, plans changed a lot with Elita.
*The third motorcycle in the movie was actually an {{w|MV Agusta F4 series|MV Agusta F4}}, a different model from both Arcee's {{w|Ducati 848}} and Chromia's {{w|Suzuki B-King}}.
*In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 gold], [[:File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|green, or silver]]. Which portions of these monstrosities may have originally been Elita-1 is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, in the "Lamborghini Jump" animatic featured on the "Deconstructing Visual Bayhem" segment of the ROTF special features disk, the third member of the Arcee combiner is [[:File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|yellow]].
*A piece of (adorable!) TakaraTomy website art shows Chromia with her finalized design, but the other two bike girls as pink and red versions of Arcee. As Arcee's toy is red, this would ''ostensibly'' make the pink one Elita-1...despite her film design being entirely different and her toy being a redeco of Chromia.
*''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] is actually Elita-1's model in Chromia's colors.
*While the film is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shot that takes down Elita is fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would claim that all three Arcee components were killed <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blue-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090406032626/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref>

'''Chromia''' is a tough bot, optics always scanning for the next fight. Naturally that means she and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] agree on a lot of things. This combined with the countless battles they fought together in made for a friendship that has lasted centuries. When the conflict on [[Earth]] escalated, both seasoned warriors were pleased to be working together again.

[[File:Chromia in ROTF.JPG|thumb|upright=1.67]]
Chromia and her sisters were held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, the sisters pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in their way, but they were ultimately unable to do little damage, and Chromia found herself a bit battered for her efforts. So Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and proceeded to make short work of Sideways.

When [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia, but NEST disobeyed the orders, instead shipping Elita and the others to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect the recently deceased Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, the sisters arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help escort Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] through the warzone, but both of Chromia's sisters soon fell to Decepticon firepower as the conflict heated up. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

During the dark period of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s history when the [[AllSpark]] was lost and the planet drifted through the cosmos without a sun to orbit, Chromia and her sister [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]]. Once both the previous problems were rectified and Cybertron entered a new era of freedom, their older sister [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] was able to be reunited with them. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} The three sisters were present when [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] announced that Cybertron would be under the dual rule of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Science Division]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s [[Defense Force]]. Chromia chose to join the Defense Force, where she befriended [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and aided in taking out "[[malcontent]]s" who were opposed to the new order. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} [[Defiance issue 3|Many years later]], she and Ironhide witnessed Optimus and his team escape an assassination attempt by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. She followed Optimus to an excavation site and helped him foil an attempt on Sentinel, Elita and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]'s lives.

During the war, Chromia, Ironhide and Arcee led an assault on [[Simfur Temple]], so Elita could use the AllSpark to activate a "[[pillar|torch]]" created by Sentinel that would end the war. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Megatron knocked Chromia aside, and Ironhide carried her off the battlefield when Sentinel's [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] was destroyed. With the [[Decepticon]]s weakened after the initial attack, Chromia soon returned with Arcee on Wheeljack's [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] and stole the AllSpark. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm 2 Chromia Dies.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4| Shockwave.....or Michael Bay?]]

Around the year [[1908]], many years after the war broke out, Chromia and Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal [[energon]] from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. Her corpse was taken by the immoral Decepticon scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], who considered it perfect for use in his experiments. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Flatline took Chromia's body (along with the corpse of her sister Elita, who had died later on) to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartate soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single [[spark]]. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], in the process. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

A short time later, the sisters, the Twins, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker|Wreckers']] ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Chromia and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but Soundwave jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death.

[[File:ROTF Deluxe Chromia.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|''But have you seen her juggling act?'']]
*'''Chromia''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:Chromia converts from a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. It appears to be part of an unmentioned combiner gimmick for the Arcee triplets, as it locks together with a similar piece on Arcee, with room for a third robot to connect.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. An aborted light-piping gimmick that uses ''clear'' plastic instead of the more usual blue is also present, however it is rendered useless by opaque paint applications to her optics.

:This mold was also used to make [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2010)]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]] and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Arcee (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Arcee]].

*'''[[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] / Chromia / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Seymour Simmons]], ''[[Human Alliance]]'' Chromia is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle, with a surprisingly complex transformation to boot. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode.

: She has a kickstand in bike mode, though it's too short to hold her completely upright. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

: Despite the coloring and name, this toy actually uses [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]'s design rather than Chromia's.

[[File:ROTF blue Arcee concept.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|A face only Ironhide could love.]]
*Whether Chromia is a unique individual or just an extension of Arcee is a matter of [[Arcee (Movie)#Notes|debate]].
*The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. At Botcon 2009, Hasbro reported that the toys are still capable of this combination, but that it will not be mentioned in the instructions for the figures.
*The Arcee toy that comes with [[Human Alliance]] [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] has Chromia's robot design but has an alt mode based on Mikaela's bike,<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> while the Chromia toy that comes with Human Alliance [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] and [[Seymour Simmons|Simmons]] has Arcee's robot and bike mode.
**Meanwhile, Chromia's ''Robot Heroes'' figure is actually Elita-1's design. Man, what is going on, peeps?
**This means that Chromia been depicted with the robot designs of all three bike sisters... including Elita-One, who wouldn't get a toy of her with ''her own robot model'' until the release of the Studio Series 3-pack.
*In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 gold], [[:File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|green, or silver]].

:''Elita-One is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Elita-oneros4.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|For once, we know what a version of Elita turns into.]]
'''Elita-One''' (also '''Elita-1''') is the first of the female Transformer robots. Naturally, she receives a lot of attention, which by no means displeases her, but she's more than a pretty face. She's a cunning fighter and an excellent marksman, capable of hitting a target from at least four miles away. When it comes time to rely on more than her gun, she's able to emit an "attraction field" that can cause those without protection to overheat without warning.

Older sister to [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and one of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] closest and longest-serving officers, Elita-One shares the Autobot commander's compassion and dedication for protecting the innocent and downtrodden. Every bit as skilled as she is compassionate, Elita-One is one of the Autobots' strongest leaders. Determined to protect the weaker from the ruthless Decepticons to the bitter end, she's a living definition of an Autobot.

[[File:ROTF Elita-1 in Egypt.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Elita-1? Flareup? Call me anything but Sweetie.]]
Elita-1 and her sisters were held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, the sisters pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in their way, but ultimately they weren't able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and proceeded to make short work of Sideways.

When [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia, but NEST disobeyed the orders, instead shipping Elita and the others to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect the recently-deceased Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, the sisters arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help escort Sam and [[Mikaela Banes|Mikaela]] through the warzone, but Elita-1 was one of the first Autobot casualties of the battle, being shot down from behind as she called for Sam and Mikaela to follow them. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Elita-One was one of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s followers, alongside Optimus, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], and others who believed in his teachings of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] and the [[AllSpark]]. When Sentinel Prime proved the truth of his claims by unearthing the lost AllSpark from beneath the surface of Cybertron at [[Simfur]], Elita helped defend it against an attack by the non-believing [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]] until [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] was able to warp time and space and bring a sun into Cybertronic space, thereby repowering the AllSpark and the plant. With this, the Thetacons accepted that Sentinel Prime had been right all along, and an end was called to hostilities. In the wake of the conflict, as new life began to spring on Cybertron, Elita told Optimus of her two sisters in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] and her desire to see them again, and Optimus decided to go with her. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

[[File:Defiance3 labwork RatchetArceeElita.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Elita-One can't get enough of Optimus's eye tits.]]

Elita and her sisters were later present during Sentinel's speech on [[Unification Day]]. She told Optimus that her sisters would have ''killed her'' if they missed it. Elita and Arcee joined Optimus's [[Science Division]], while Chromia became part of Megatron's [[Defense Force]]. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Years later, when the Science Division unearthed a strange [[The Fallen|relic]] and Cybertron was attacked by the [[Ejoornian|aliens]] of the [[Eshems Nebula]], Megatron changed his military's mission to one of peaceful defense to aggressive offense, taking the fight to the aliens. Elita stayed behind on Cybertron, remaining true to Optimus's belief in the peaceful core values of their planet's society. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Studying the relic fragments they had uncovered alongside Arcee and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Elita discovered that they all bore the same symbol in the same area: a symbol was also on Optimus's head. Drawing a correlation between the symbol and the Dynasty of Primes, Ratchet theorized that Optimus was involved with it somehow, redubbing him "Optimus Prime". {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

When Megatron reformed the military into the [[Decepticon]]s and ordered the Primes to be assassinated, Elita came under fire with Sentinel and Wheeljack at the excavation site. Optimus and Chromia came to their rescue, and they escaped via a tunnel to [[Tyger Pax]]. Elita witnessed the departure of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' with the other [[Autobot]]s, and became one of Optimus's closest advisors with Sentinel and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. With the war tearing Cybertron apart, Sentinel proposed using a "torch" to end the war without further loss of life. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} It required the AllSpark to work: as Optimus battled Megatron at [[Simfur Temple]], Elita successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] and flew to Simfur, but it was all in vain after [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] blew up the ship. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:Foundation4ElitaoneOptimus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Nobody cares about your pain, woman.]]

Elita-One joined a vengeful Optimus Prime in a charge on [[Lord High Protector citadel|Megatron's citadel]]. Shocked at the coldness and violence her old friend was displaying on the battlefield, Elita entreated him to stand down, telling him that such actions were not who he was, but he retorted that Megatron's death was all that mattered. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} She was left behind when Ironhide decided to help Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Though Optimus did not go through with killing Megatron after her sisters stole the AllSpark, Elita still found herself unable to speak to him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Sometime in [[1908]], Elita-One were part of an Autobot team sent to steal [[energon]] from the Decepticons. Instead they were ambushed by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his troops, and Chromia was killed in action. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

After the Autobots claimed victory in their first great battle with the Decepticons on Earth in 2007, Starscream began a plan of his own to create an artificial [[Replica AllSpark]], and had Elita-One, [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]], [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]], and [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] captured and put to work constructing it at Simfur. When Starscream arrived to inspect the cube, Elita pled with him for mercy, but none was dispensed. Upon the AllSpark's completion, she was strapped to it, with the intention of draining her life-force to power the cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} Arcee arrived too late to stop her sister's death, but blew up the generators used to store the life energy in revenge, throwing the Decepticons into disarray. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4]]

Not long after, Elita-One's remains were acquired by the deranged Decepticon experimentalist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], along with those of her sister Chromia and taken to his lab at an outpost on an unknown planet to use in his attempts to create a new breed of tripartite soldier, three bodies fuelled by a single [[spark]]. After several failures, whether by coincidence or design, Flatline was presented by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] with a new test subject: Elita and Chromia's sister, Arcee. Through the use of Arcee's spark, implanted in a new body, Flatline reignited the life-forces of Elita and Chromia in new shells, albeit not as they had truly had been before: now, they were at one with their sister, a singular entity at the spark, each feeling the sensations and emotions of the other, yet retaining some degree of autonomy and memory of their own identity. "One as three, and three as one". Grappling with their new forms, the sisters broke free, liberating Flatline's other victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], in the process. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, the sisters, the twins, [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3|Dark of the Moon #3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime. Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm1 ElitaandOptimus.jpg|thumb]]
When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Elita and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's bewilderment that the Autobots were sending their women to do the fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The violent streak his old friend was now displaying gave Optimus Prime pause, reminding him of the time in the past when he too had sunk into the depths of rage, and how Elita had disapproved of it then.

Returning to base after the mission, Elita told Optimus she could feel things from her sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When Starscream attacked [[Philadelphia]] and Sam Witwicky contacted NEST, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left behind due to damage that Arcee was still sustaining. However, in the end Optimus allowed Elita and her sisters to join the mission. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boiled over and she chastised him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and said that she had come back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminded Elita that he too had experienced [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|death]], but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. She and her sisters were dispatched to upstate [[New York (state)|New York]] - thought to be Starscream's base of operations - and destroy it, although they quickly found out they were wrong and that Shockwave was on Earth. Elita tried to contact Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communications and sent his minions after her sisters. She attempted to flee and warn Optimus, but Astrotrain pursued her. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

[[File:Risingstorm4 Elitadies.jpg|thumb|left|She's dead, Jim.]]
After a short chase, Elita eventually got the drop on Astrotrain. A swipe of her blade cleaved his armor, causing him to explode above a building as Elita sped away. She was able to inform Optimus Prime that the events occurring were not Starscream's doing, but were in fact the result of Shockwave's manipulation. Just as she was delivering her message, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack by Shockwave and was brutally killed, while both of her sisters could only helplessly feel her pain as she died for a second time. Shockwave took a look at Elita-1's lifeless head and mockingly 'asked' her if he had interrupted her. Distraught and enraged by her death, Optimus battled the Decepticon and began to gain the upper hand, until Shockwave's pet Driller arrived and rescued the Decepticon. {{Storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Shortly after Elita's death, a "grave" was made for her and other Autobots in the form of shipping containers. Optimus Prime dwelled on their deaths for a few minutes, shortly before he left on a mission to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]]. {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

In an alternate timeline following the Decepticon victory in Mission City, Elita-One was part of a small team of Autobot reinforcements summoned to Earth by the surviving Autobots on the planet. Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]], Elita-One reminded [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm]] that they were to wait until they heard from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], as to act without the Earth-based Autobots' intel would be as good as just shooting themselves in the head there and then. Unfortunately, the Decepticons had detected the arrival, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] arrived to attack them, ironically just as Elita was expressing her desire for a fight. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Starscream's appearance led Elita to mistakenly conclude that the Autobots on Earth must have been destroyed, meaning the mission was a bust, so they team decided to go to Earth themselves—just as Starscream wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}}

[[File:Elitalendsahand-TwilightsLastGleamingpart4.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75]]
Once on Earth, Elita-One's group unsuccessfully helped Bumblebee in battle against [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. The tables turned when the captive Optimus Prime was freed and joined the fight, so Elita hung back and warned Strongarm to keep out of the leaders' battle. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

After the Decepticons were beaten, she was on sentry duty with [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]]. She was too busy swearing to look in more than one direction, causing the Decepticon attack force to reach Savannah without warning simply because they were approaching from behind her. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}} Somehow this didn't get her banned from further sentry duty. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

Elita-One joined Optimus, Longarm, Strongarm and Sky Blast in the [[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]], on a mission to gather [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron. The team was was surprised to find a [[Unicron]]-possessed Cybertron head in their direction after they had blasted off. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} She managed to survive Unicron's initial assault against the Autobots' shuttle, and later helped in fending off Unicron's drones while the rest of her team worked out the means to force Unicron into fleeing. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

She later piloted the ''[[Straxus (Movie)|Straxus]]'' on its return flight to Earth, and was ordered to fly on to [[Washington, D.C.]] when it was discovered the Decepticons had taken over the Savannah base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

When [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], powered by [[Project Unite|Project: Unite]] attacked multiple [[human]] installations, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] led an Autobot force to combat the crazed Decepticon. Elita-One was among them, along with [[Scattorshot (ROTF)|Scattorshot]] and [[Hubcap (TF 2010)|Hubcap]]. They fired on Starscream, only managing to anger him, but he was soon blasted by even larger firepower, from a [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] seeking out Starscream's head for his disobedience. {{storylink|Unite for the Universe issue 2|On the Road of Destruction}}

As Megatron and Starscream battled it out without regard to their Autobot spectators, Elita muttered that she'd rather let the two wear each other down and then take the survivor. However, Optimus Prime knew that keeping their distance would still potentially leave the Unite technology in the wrong hands, meaning the Autobots would have to separate the two and defeat both. While Optimus went after Megatron, he directed Elita and the other Autobots at Starscream. They and Decepticons loyal to Megatron kept Starscream busy until [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was able to arrive and separate Starscream from his Unite technology. With the defunct Starscream still in the care of Elita and the Autobots, Megatron and his Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and purple(ish) [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Elita-1's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her [[license plate]] has ''3L 174'' written on it as a {{w|leet}} way of spelling her own name ("leet"/"Elita"... get it? Haw haw.). [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

*'''Sideways Sneak Attack''' (Multi-pack)

:This [[Target]]-exclusive multi-pack was to contain redecos of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends class Arcee mold as Chromia and Elita-1, plus an Arcee who may or may not be different from the single ''ROTF'' release. The set furthermore includes a redeco of Deluxe class [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], whose painted battle damage evokes the scene in the film where he's been cut in half. Ouchies.

: A purple redeco of ''Human Alliance'' Arcee, ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Elita-1 comes with a redeco of ''Human Alliance'' [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]]. Epps can ride her in vehicle mode.

:The mold that this Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy), despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

:Elita-One is an all new mold based on her appearance in the second film, transforming into a MV Agusta F4. She comes packaged with her sisters [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Arcee (Movie)#Studio Series|Arcee]], each with their own new unique molds. They are priced at a deluxe class $20, making them the smallest figures of the ''Studio Series'' line to date. Each one of the sisters also comes with a stand for their bottom wheels, helping them stay upright.

This is notably the first transforming figure of Elita-One's on-screen robot design, as well as the first toy that doesn't depict her as a repaint of one of her sisters.

==Notes==
* In both [[IDW Publishing]]'s comics and [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers magazine]], Elita's head (her original body's head, that is) was redesigned to resemble that of [[Elita One (G1)|her Generation 1 counterpart]]. As far as Titan goes, however, apparent lack of communication between artists has meant that this was not consistent across various issues, and that she is sometimes drawn with her toy-based head instead. And there's about a ''million'' different versions of her G1-ised head, one for each Titan artist...
[[File:TakaraWebsiteArceeTriplets.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|~"Wheeere did he go? / That Invisi-bo! / He's a menace to the town and to property / He wants to be in charge of you and me!"]]
*For her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' incarnation, Elita-1's name was originally announced as "Flareup" at [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2hFSxnIsjE Hasbro's panel] during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009.
**Not long after, at BotCon 2009, it was claimed that she was going to be a redeco of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee.
**The three bike girls were originally going to combine into a larger robot-form, but this was cut from the final movie. A vestigal reference to this can be found in fold-out tabs attached to their action figures, but with Elita's relegation to a redeco, no real combination appears possible with the toys.
**Yeah, plans changed a lot with Elita.
*The third motorcycle in the movie was actually an {{w|MV Agusta F4 series|MV Agusta F4}}, a different model from both Arcee's {{w|Ducati 848}} and Chromia's {{w|Suzuki B-King}}.
*In pre-production artwork, the non-pink components of the proposed combined Arcee were variously shown to be [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 gold], [[:File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|green, or silver]]. Which portions of these monstrosities may have originally been Elita-1 is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, in the "Lamborghini Jump" animatic featured on the "Deconstructing Visual Bayhem" segment of the ROTF special features disk, the third member of the Arcee combiner is [[:File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|yellow]].
*A piece of (adorable!) TakaraTomy website art shows Chromia with her finalized design, but the other two bike girls as pink and red versions of Arcee. As Arcee's toy is red, this would ''ostensibly'' make the pink one Elita-1...despite her film design being entirely different and her toy being a redeco of Chromia.
*''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] is actually Elita-1's model in Chromia's colors.
*While the film is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shot that takes down Elita is fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would claim that all three Arcee components were killed <ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blue-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090406032626/http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref>

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Arceemovie.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|She's got legs, she knows how to use them. Temporarily, anyway.]]
Though small compared to many of her peers and adversaries, '''Arcee''' compensates with speed and aggressive maneuvers, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots around. Moreover, Arcee is a born hunter. She honed her speed hunting [[turbofox]]es with other speedsters, challenging herself to get as close as possible before tagging them with her bow. She's a crack shot with said crossbow weapon, and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] has trained her to use her speed to her advantage in battle, striking suddenly and swiftly and then vanishing away again as fast as she appeared. She is the sister of [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]].

The events at [[Tyger Pax]] created a nagging doubt in Arcee about her abilities. She carries some guilt about [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s injuries, and part of what drives her is the desire to prove herself, not only in the optics of her friends and comrades, but most importantly in her own. She also carries a standing feud with [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] for [[The Thrill of the Hunt|unknown reasons]].<ref name="battlebio">[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/Battle-Bios.cfm Hasbro Arcee Battle Bio]</ref>

For a time, she used experimental technology that allowed her mind to control ''three'' bodies at once!

{{voiceactor|[[Grey Griffin]] (English)}}
[[File:BumblebeeMovieArcee.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|You think you're impressed now? Just wait until she turns into a motormaid.]]
Arcee was among the Autobots fending off a wave of Decepticon forces led by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], where Arcee tried to contact the capital of the last remaining Autobot city for reinforcements only to fail in establishing a connection. She was eventually ordered to retreat by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]. Tasked with finding other Autobots scattered throughout the galaxy and rendezvous on [[Earth]], they left Cybertron in various escape pods. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

[[File:Arcee-ROTFshoot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|"Why couldn't she be the other kind of motormaid, with the motorcycle part on top and the lady part on the bottom?"]]

{{note|The film goes into no detail on whether or not Arcee is one entity, or three separate beings. See [[#Notes|Notes]] at the bottom of this article for a thorough dissection; for the purposes of this section, all three bike-bots are collectively referred to as "Arcee".}}

Arcee was held in reserve as NEST entered Shanghai to deal with Demolishor, only being called into action when the presence of a second Decepticon, [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], was detected. Together with the twins, Arcee pursued the sneaky speedster through the streets of Shanghai, smashing through buildings and everything else in her way, but ultimately, none of her three components were able to do much damage, so Sideswipe was brought up to bat, and he quickly put the Decepticon down.

[[File:Arcee-ROTFthreebikes.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|The [[Chromia (ROTF)|blue one]] likes to sit next to [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] for [[transformer romance|some reason]].]]

While not on missions, Arcee was parked with the other Autobots in their hangar at [[Diego Garcia]]. It was here that the Autobots received word from the [[President of the United States]], via [[Theodore Galloway|Director Galloway]], that the White House was concerned that the Autobots' living on Earth was the reason for the Decepticon activity, and that if need be, they would ask the Autobots to leave. Later, after Optimus Prime died in battle and [[The Fallen]] issued an ultimatum to Earth, the US government decided that the Autobots would be shipped back to Diego Garcia.
[[File:ROTF Arcee shot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Michael Bay displays his usual attitude towards women.]]
NEST had a different idea, and instead shipped Arcee and the other Autobots to [[Egypt]] on the advice of [[Sam Witwicky]], who had the means to resurrect Optimus Prime. During the climactic battle between NEST and The Fallen's Decepticons, Sam and Mikaela attempted to make their way through the bombed-out Egyptian town that had become the battlefield. Arcee arrived with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to escort them through the warzone, but unfortunately, two of her bodies were shot down by enemy forces, with only the blue component remaining operational when last seen. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Arcee’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]''; the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]'' and "[[Movie Trilogy]]" comics; and the storybook "[[The Last Prime]]".}}

===IDW movie comics===
[[File:Foudnation2 ArceeChromiaElita.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Thousands of years ago on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Arcee lived in [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]] with her sister Chromia, while their eldest sibling, Elita-One, became a follower of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Following Sentinel's successful unification of the warring tribes of Cybertron, Arcee and Chromia came to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to hear his speech for the future. It was announced that the planet would be governed by a [[Science Division]] headed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and a [[Defense Force]] led by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]; while Chromia elected to join the latter, Arcee, intrigued at the prospect of investigating the legacy of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], signed up with Optimus's team. The Science Division began an archaeological excavation of the area around [[Simfur]], uncovering a strange object that they believed to be connected to the Dynasty. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[File:Defiance1 Arcee vehicle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"I transform into a vacuum cleaner!"]]

Some time later, while Optimus was showing Megatron around their work, Arcee's team discovered a mysterious relic with a [[Decepticon|strange symbol]] etched into it. She led her superiors to the ancient relic and watched as Megatron and Optimus began to argue when the former demanded the relic be relocated to his private quarters, with Optimus relenting due to a sudden alien attack. Arcee assisted with its evacuation from the dig site. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

After the attack, Arcee tried to save the life of one of the aliens, but was unsuccessful. She and [[Clocker (Movie)|Clocker]] moved the bodies to [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s lab, where they discovered that the beings were similar in structure to the Cybertronians, only lacking the ability to [[transformation|transform]]. Before they could speculate further about the common ancestry of the two races, [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Signal Flare]] arrived with orders from Optimus to assemble at the Simfur excavation site for a meeting. There, Arcee and the other scientists learned of Protector Megatron's demand for war and Optimus's thoughts on the issue. After most of the scientists agreed to follow Optimus, they travelled to [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] to watch Megatron deliver his saber-rattling war rally. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[File:Foundation4Arceechromiaknockeoutbymegatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|That's not how you treat 2 ladies, Megatron.]]

Ratchet, Arcee and Elita-One returned to the lab to analyze the other relic fragments recovered from the Simfur excavation, while Optimus, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] and [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] broke into Megatron's quarters to examine the intact relic. Before Optimus could explain to Ratchet the strange condition of the artifact, Arcee reported finding a symbol that appeared in the same place on all the different fragments: the same symbol that was on Optimus's head. Ratchet theorised that the legend of the [[Dynasty of Primes]] was true, and that Optimus was somehow connected to all of this. Later, at the dig site near [[Burthov]], Arcee, Ratchet and Optimus were arrested by Prowl's security forces on orders from Megatron for treason. What they didn't know was they were all being led into a trap, and the assassins Megatron sent would only take Optimus alive. After [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl's]] initial attack, Optimus ordered the group to escape to Burthov while he took care of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and his soldiers. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}{{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

Arcee was part of the team who captured the disenchanted soldier [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and brought him before Optimus Prime. Ironhide pledged allegiance to Prime and brought news of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', a massive starship that Megatron was building. While observing its construction and taking images of the ship, Arcee remarked that she had never seen its like before. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} From [[Tyger Pax]], she witnessed the departure of the ''Nemesis'' with the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[File:MoviePrequel1 Arcee Bumblebee.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|"Can I say something?" "Whatever it is, now is not the right time!"]]

During the subsequent civil war, Arcee defended civilians who were being targeted by Megatron's Decepticons for refusing to join in the war against Optimus Prime's Autobots. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} As the war raged on, Sentinel invented a "[[pillar|torch]]" that he promised would end the war, which required the [[AllSpark]] to be activated. Arcee and Chromia flanked Ironhide at the lead of the assault on Simfur Temple. As the battle raged, Arcee and Chromia were swatted aside by Megatron, but Optimus attacked, allowing Elita to activate the torch and deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel arrived in the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], but Starscream blew up the ship. Ironhide picked up Arcee and Chromia as the Autobots retreated. However, the assault had weakened Decepticon morale and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] commanded another [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] for Arcee and Chromia to steal the AllSpark itself! {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Later, Arcee fought the Decepticons during an attempt to reclaim the Cube at Tyger Pax. However, Arcee and the rest of those under Bumblebee's command didn't know the true purpose of their battle: they were a diversion to keep Megatron busy while other Autobots readied the AllSpark for launch from Cybertron. She was captured and interrogated by the Decepticons but survived the ordeal. She recounted to their Autobot rescuers Bumblebee's heroics in delaying Megatron, which prevented the Decepticon from intercepting the wormhole-bound AllSpark. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

[[File:ReignofStarscream4 Arcee.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|She's so happy to be home, she doesn't even care that Payload's looking up her dress.]]

Following the Autobots' victory in Mission City, which culminated in the death of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and the destruction of the AllSpark on [[Earth]], Arcee was in command of an Autobot assault team on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and led [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and others in an attack on [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} While her team made short work of the [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]], [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] drones the Decepticons sent against them, Arcee killed the Decepticon sniper [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] before he could take out [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]]. Her teammates were unprepared for the arrival of [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]], however, and he quickly slew [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] and wounded [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. Remembering her failure at Tyger Pax, Arcee leapt into action, and soon she and Cliffjumper had Thundercracker at their mercy. The arrival of Starscream changed that, as he killed Smokescreen and Air Raid and badly damaged Cliffjumper. As she attempted to pull the last surviving member of her team to safety, Arcee was kicked aside by Starscream. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

However, Arcee recovered an instant later. The Decepticon starship was already taking off, but she jumped and grabbed onto a piece of landing gear, holding on tight... through the [[space bridge]]. Wow. Later, she made her way back to an Autobot facility, where she unexpectedly met Clocker and [[Crosshairs (Movie)|Crosshairs]]. Along with a large force of Autobots, the three moved in on the Simfur temple, where Starscream was using captured Autobots for a strange project of his. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

She split her troops into two forces: One would attack the city of Trypticon as a diversion, while the other moved in on Simfur. Arcee and her team could only watch helplessly as Starscream drained the life out of the Autobot prisoners strapped onto the [[replica AllSpark]], despite her sister Elita-One's pleas for mercy. An opportunity to cause havoc presented itself when [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]]'s forces attempted a coup. Arcee lined up her sights on the generator holding the life energy of the deceased prisoners, dedicated the shot to Elita, and destroyed it, annihilating the Cube and sending the Decepticons into disarray. Arcee's team fought their way through the disorganised Decepticons, linked up with [[Wingblade]]'s team, and rolled out just as the crippled starship came crashing down on the city. With the destruction of the capitol and the defeat of a significant portion of the Decepticon drone army, Arcee considered this to be the turning point of the war, but as long as Starscream was alive, he was a threat that she had to track down. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[File:TalesoftheFallen6-Arceeprotoforms.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|The best part of waking up is ... still being in your own body.]]

Some time later, a ship carrying Arcee and her crew was shot down over an unidentified planet, and when Arcee managed to escape the wreckage, she saw that the culprit was her old nemesis, Thundercracker. She blacked out, and an indeterminate amount of time later, she awoke on an operating table—or rather, next to her old body on an operating table. Her [[spark]] had been transplanted into a new body by the Decepticon mad scientist [[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]], as part of a twisted plan to create a new breed of tripartate soldier by using her spark to reignite those of her deceased sisters, Elita-One and Chromia. Flatline had not considered Arcee's strong will, however, and her original programming persisted. She broke free and escaped with two of Flatline's other experiment victims, the twins [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], but was surprised to learn that Flatline's experiment had worked: her sisters lived again in two bodies similar to her own new form, but now, they were connected at the spark, sharing the thoughts, feelings and memories of one another, thinking with one mind yet still retaining a degree of autonomy and recollection of their previous selves. [[File:TalesoftheFallen6-whereishe.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|WASSSS A MAAANNN (now three man)]] The united sisters defeated Flatline, and with the Twins, headed for the exit, but Thundercracker and some Decepticon drones blocked them. Thundercracker laughed, since Arcee hadn't fared too well the last time they tangled, but... that was then. Thundercracker was easily bested by the new and improved Arcee, and escaped while Flatline's headquarters detonated by remote. Arcee wondered whether her weird new existence was a mistake, or if she was merely destined for greater things. Regardless, she refused to become bent on revenge against Thundercracker for the deaths of her crew, so she and the Twins made plans to join the rest of the Autobots. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}} {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

A short time later, Arcee and her sisters, along with [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]], [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], [[Topspin (DOTM)|Topspin]], [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot]] and [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]] arrived on Earth on the [[Wrecker]]s ship [[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]. (While the ship and the Wreckers stayed behind in [[NASA]]) {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}{{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 3}} in response to a summons beamed into space by Optimus Prime Joining the allied Autobot-human strikeforce [[NEST]], the new recruits received some training, and were soon called upon to put it into use: the Decepticon [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] had been sighted in [[Shanghai]], [[China]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

[[File:ArceeROTFIDWCombo.jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.85|Remember what [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] did with [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] and the [[Duocon]]s?]]
Arcee participated in the [[Shanghai]] battle. When [[The Twins]] botched their chase of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]], the Arcee motorcycles gave chase before [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] finished the job. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 1|Revenge of the Fallen #1}} When the Autobots were on the move to the US East Coast investigating on multiple detected Decepticon contacts, at least one of the Arcee bikes was seen alongside [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later, while Optimus was fighting [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] in the forest, at least two Arcee bikes were approaching the battle site alongside [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. An Arcee robot was also seen with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Ironhide when the latter was firing at Starscream and Megatron who were fleeing from the site. The Arcee robot was the first one to notice Optimus Prime's severe damage before Ratchet pronounced him "nearly gone". {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 2|Revenge of the Fallen #2}} All three Arcee robots were with the other Autobots when they were facing the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] in the desert of Egypt. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[File:TFSpaceCase-SpaceCasehitsArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right]]
Sometime later after [[Operation: Firestorm]], Arcee joined Bumblebee and Sam for a picnic, which was cut short when they went to investigate an energy signal that had appeared after an earthquake. The trio proceeded deep underground and, just as Arcee was admonishing Sam to be careful, Space Case ambushed them. Despite their numeric superiority, the Autobots had trouble with their enemy because they were afraid firing weapons might cause their unstable surroundings to collapse. Space Case, angry at what he perceived as persecution from the Autobots, activated his plasma afterburners and rocketed out of the cave, triggering the feared cave-in and burying Sam and the Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Space Case}} Arcee managed to send out a distress signal, to which Ratchet responded. The medic fended off Space Case and managed to free Arcee from a pile of rubble, allowing her to go after Space Case a fleeing Space Case. {{storylink|Transformers: Ratchet}} The chase took them towards a densely populated city. Despite Space Case's engine damage, he still had a significant speed advantage over Arcee. As she paused to consider her options, she received a holographic communication from Ratchet. The Autobot medic reported that Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee had survived their encounter with Space Case with no serious injuries, and suggested that Arcee meet back up with them. Arcee cut him off abruptly, inwardly observing that while Ratchet thought she continued to chase Space Case out of a misplaced sense of pride, that's not really what she was doing at all. Arcee then caught up with Space Case. Panicking, Space Case threw Arcee through a storefront and took to the air in another attempt to escape. Arcee, determined not to let anything keep her down, sped after Space Case, used a building to ramp up to his altitude, and destroyed his other engine. Space Case went plummeting into the distance, headed for the waterfront. As he vanished from sight, he promised to be back. Arcee knew she'd be ready for his eventual return. {{storylink|Transformers: Arcee}}

When NEST discovered that Starscream was selling Transformer weaponry to humans, a sting operation was staged in which [[Theodore Galloway]] would pose as a buyer to lure the Decepticons in. When [[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]], [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] took the bait, Arcee and her sisters joined the twins and the human forces of NEST in tackling them. The sisters did not take kindly to Skystalker's incredulity about the Autobots "sending their women" to do their fighting for them, and killed him with practised ease. The battle aggravated the wounds Arcee had taken in Egypt the previous year, however, and she was brought back to Diego Garcia for medical attention courtesy of Ratchet. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

After Sam Witwicky contacted Optimus Prime as Philadelphia was being attacked by Decepticons, Optimus decided that the sisters should be left out of the fight due to Arcee's wounds. Arcee wanted to go despite Chromia's attempt to let her stay behind while her two sisters went. In the end, Optimus decided to allow her to go with Chromia and Elita-1. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

She and her sisters went to New York thinking they would get information on Starscream selling his weapons to humans, but instead they found Astrotrain and a monster. And they also found out that Shockwave was on earth, so they tried to inform Optimus, but [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] jammed their communication and sent his minions after the girls. Arcee and Chromia told Elita-1 to find Optimus. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

As Ravage was attacking her. Arcee began to feel the pain of her wounds (and Chromia began to feel them too), later Elita-1 died and Arcee and Chromia felt her death. Despite Arcee's attempts to stop her, Chromia activated some bombs they brought with them (which possibly killed Soundwave's minions). Arcee and Chromia survived the explosion. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===Titan movie comics===
Originally, Arcee didn't serve either faction, working alone to solve injustices in her own way. [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] personally decided to make an example of her, and only an Autobot extraction team led by [[Kup (Movie)|Kup]] saved her life. This debt saw her join the Autobots. She's chimerical in nature and is constantly changing her [[Alternate mode|altmode]] in an effort to go as fast as possible (maybe that's why her [[robot mode]] always looks different!). She [[Arcee (G1)|previously had a hover-car form]], but on Earth takes a modified bike mode. Once you earn her trust, she's [[Rick Astley|never going to let you down]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Arcee bio}}

During the AllSpark launch, she led the six-bot team that drew Megatron's attention to Tyger Pax. And Optimus only told ''Bumblebee'' that's what their mission was! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|#2's reprint of Movie Prelude}}

[[File:Titan5 Sidewayssideswipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|I'm such good friends that I all dress alike!]]

Arcee had been on Earth for some time before [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] arrived. When using all three of her bodies, she refers to her collective self as "we". Back then, she was keeping her pink paint job!

She went on to assist Optimus Prime in a [[NEST]] mission in [[Australia]], and so was in a perfect position to capture the Decepticon [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]]. Pursuing him in bike(s) mode, she found it near impossible to blow out his tyres and kept getting sideswiped by him during the pursuit. When a stunned Optimus ordered her to stay on the Decepticon's tail, she responded that the Decepticon's alt mode was far better suited for the terrain... inspiring Optimus to ''blow up'' that terrain.
[[File:Titan2-8 dronesurrender.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Geez, this just getting ''confusing''.]]
With Sideways stunned and taking robot form, Arcee sent one bike in to take him down but almost got hit before human military helicopters arrived to back her up. The mission over, she and Optimus took their prisoner back to [[Diego Garcia]], with Arcee escorting him to a cell. But surprise, [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] was waiting to free him! She was quickly stunned and unable to stop the Decepticons escaping. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

She later decided it'd be fun to switch back to her older, single-form body! Her old body got a good workout when she was part of the strike team on the Decepticon's [[Mars (planet)|Phobos]] base. After a brief but violent battle, the [[Purple generic drone|drone hordes]] surrendered to her and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

====Alternate timeline====
[[File:Titan13 Arcee.jpg|thumb|"I don't ''want'' to look retro!!"]]

Following the Decepticon triumph in the battle of Mission City in an [[Tyran 208.28 Gamma|alternate timeline]], Arcee was a member of a small group of reinforcements summoned to Earth by the remaining Autobots on the planet. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} Touching down on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to await contact from Earth, they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], but the quick-thinking Arcee took command and rallied the troops. When this still failed to work, she ordered them to Earth (following [[Strongarm (Movie)|Strongarm's]] initiative) and their prearranged targets. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} Joining up with the Earth-bound Autobots, Arcee refused to accept defeat, and helped [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] defend [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] while he destroyed the AllSpark, foiling the Decepticons' plan to cyberform Earth using its power. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Arcee was left bewildered by the idea that Humanity would not trust and love the Autobots, and Optimus explained to her that, from a human point of view, all the Transformers are alien horrors fighting on their planet. Following this, she guarded the [[Savannah]], [[Georgia]] shelter and was caught in an ambush staged by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

[[File:Titan22 Arcee.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"''That's'' better!"]]

Later, after serving with Bumblebee in protecting an Alaskan pipeline, among other engagements to protect the American infrastructure, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} Arcee was part of Ironhide's team in retrieving [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] from Cybertron, which ran afoul of [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} She acted as Bumblebee's distraction, drawing [[Storm Surge (Movie)|Storm Surge]] and [[Fracture (Movie)|Fracture]] away, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} and doubled back to regroup with Ironhide (and pull him out of rubble) when [[Unicron]] arrived. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} Later, she got Optimus Prime up to speed on the situation. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Following the Decepticon re-conquest of Savannah, Arcee was part of the raid to rescue [[Mikaela Banes]]. She got off one bit of bravado about how hitting things was her kind of shindig before [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] hit ''her''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

When the Autobots launched their final strike, Arcee was part of the spearhead team hitting the [[Decepticon Heartland]]. She started off the 'tagging' of Decepticons to teleport them away from Earth, getting [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]] in the back and looking very happy about it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

{{Note|Arcee was also the host of a "Lonely Hearts" letter column in the comic's [[letters page]]. Really!}}

===Toy bios===
Arcee was well trained by Ironhide, making her one of the most dangerous Autobots. She believes without question that the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. {{storylink|#Scout Class toys|Arcee (Target Exclusive)}}

Arcee was on [[Earth]] for a short time at the beginning of the conflict there, presumably arriving shortly after Bumblebee in the early part of the 21st Century. {{storylink|#2007dlx|Arcee's bio}} When the situation on Earth began to ramp up into out-and-out combat, she was reassigned to the [[Charii system]], where her stealth skills would be of more use fighting against a Decepticon splinter cell working on a star-breaking weapon. {{storylink|#Robovision|Arcee's Robovision bio}} She nevertheless jumped at the chance to get back on Earth and was soon handed control of her own strike team, made up of robots similar to her in attitude and design. Arcee stalked Decepticons and killed them on the quiet. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 2|Arcee (ROTF)}}

In 2010, she had to fight the dread [[Tailwhip]] and was trapped in his vortex! Arcee's only chance was to shoot out the blades of the evil robot above her.{{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 3|Rotorwash Rumble}}

In later years, she started following the tradition of inscribing Cybertronian words on your chassis: while she wasn't superstitious, the ''Decepticons'' sure were! It also gave her a nice confidence boost. {{storylink|#Deluxe Class toys 4|Arcee (2011 Target exclusive)}}

*'''Arcee''' (Target exclusive Scout Class, 2007)
**''Accessories'': Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, "Energon" star

: Arcee is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Arcee (Energon)|Arcee]], replacing her pinks and most of her whites and blacks with blue, and her translucent red with smoky brown plastic. She transforms into a "superbike"-type racing motorcycle. Unusually for a Transformer, she does not hold her weapon in her hands as most figures do. Instead, her Energon Bow mounts on a peg on either arm, with her hands being positioned to give the appearance of her using the bow. The bow itself is spring-loaded, firing a grey "arrow" missile.

:Arcee (and the rest of the Scout wave) were [[exclusive]] to [[Target]] stores, where they were all part of a [[Robo-Vision]] promotion. Arcee came with a Robo-Vision Decoder which allows you to see the Robo-Vision Code ("BULLSEYE") printed on her cardback. Starting [[June 2]], 2007, Target's website allowed users to input those codes to access exclusive content, a concept similar to the online [[Cyber Planet Key]] info from the [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]].

: This mold also was used to make ''Superlink'' Ariel Paradron Type, as well as the [[BotCon 2005]] "[[Descent into Evil]]" set's [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], and the fellow Target-exclusive [[Transformers (2007 toyline)|movieverse]] [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], which was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]].

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Launcher, missile

: Deluxe Arcee transforms into a purple 2006 Buell Firebolt XB12R motorcycle, genericised to get around licensing issues. Arcee has references [[tampograph]]ed on her [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], such as her motorcycle's fictional model name, "RC 1100" (Get it? "RC" as in "Arcee"), and her Massachusetts [[license plate]] marked TF7407, the original release date of the movie.

: Arcee's [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] feature is located in her crossbow weapon (formed out of the seat/storage area of the bike), activated when the projectile (the bike's tailpipe) is inserted, which pushes out the recurved lath parts on the sides of the weapon. The rectangular peg which is supposed to be used to attach her weapon to her forearm in [[robot mode]] is sometimes a poor fit, and the weapon may pop off. As an alternative, the round peg by which the weapon is attached in ''vehicle'' mode can also be used in robot mode, with a little rearranging of parts.

: Undocumented in the instructions, the two shoulder-mounted half-wheels contain a small niche on the edge of the tires. By folding the wheels down with the hubcaps pointing towards the chest and turning the tires towards the shoulders, one can feel the wheels gently click into place via the tire niches and hidden tabs in the shoulders, allowing the wheels to remain in place and more closely resemble the figure as pictured on its packaging.

: As with most larger Transformers toys that become motorcycles, Arcee has a kickstand on the left side of the bike; unfortunately, it's mounted so low that she will fall in the opposite direction if it is fully extended.

*'''Arcee''' (Legends, 2010)

:Legends Arcee is a pink and black motorcycle that transforms into a pink and black robot. Black chunks are strategically placed on her two wheels so she can stand up in robot mode. There's an odd jointed piece above her rear wheel that has a [[Powerlinx]]-like [[5mm post|hardpoint]] and a peg hole on the other side; since the entire piece serves no function, it may have been designed with a combined form similar to the Deluxes in mind.

*'''Chromia''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cycle cannons

:[[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] converts from a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} to... a unicycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. There is also a piece on the bottom of the vehicle mode (or back of the robot mode) that folds out, but there is no indication in the instructions as to what this piece is for. However, the piece can slide into a similar piece in the later Arcee toy, starting the supposed combined mode.

:While the instructions depict the motorcycle seat remaining flat so that it ends up covering the bottom wheel, the robot mode more closely resembles the movie design if the seat is folded in and locked into a slot on the motorcycle's bottom, as shown on the back of the packaging. The packaging photo also shows Chromia's front wheel resting behind the robot's shoulders, while the instructions leave it above her head. Furthermore, while it is not mentioned either in the instructions or shown on the box, the stand can be attached backwards and rotated with the guns facing up so that it acts as a prop for the toy, allowing the wheel to actually touch the ground, and letting the toy look from the front like it is unsupported. In addition, the stand can also be attached to right arm as an inordinately large handgun by sliding the two pegs inside the gun into two slots on the inside of the arm.

:The stand has sculpted tank treads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it.

:Though the instructions do not explain it, the back of the blister card mentions she has a [[Mech Alive]] gimmick in her left arm. While it isn't quite the "spinning gears" the card refers to, swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun.

*'''Arcee''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-23'''
**''Accessories:'' Sidecar/blaster/figure stand

:Deluxe class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Arcee converts from a {{w|Ducati 848}} to a robot mode that can look quite awkward if not properly aligned. The figure has a sidecar which can become a Dual Sniper Pistol<ref name="battlebio"/> or a display stand. In robot mode, she is equipped with a small cannon on her right wrist that can deploy a spring-loaded energy blade. Small [[Cyberglyphics]] inscriptions are molded onto the surface of the blade.

:Her [[Mech Alive]] feature is located not in her elbow, as the packaging would suggest, but instead in her chest; tilting her neck up and down causes a pair of exposed gears to turn.

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[File:ROTF-toy FAB CyberPursuitArcee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Cyber Pursuit Arcee''' (Fast Action Battler, 2010)
**''Accessories:'' Exhaust pipes/missile

:A simplified version of her ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toy, [[Fast Action Battlers]] Arcee is targeted at the age 5 and under demographic, being a simplified version of her Deluxe-Class toy and having more limited articulation (that's better than most Fast Action Battlers toys). This version does away with the sidecar/stand in favor of a built-in, fully retractable stand, as well as featuring a kickstand and free spinning wheels. Her main gimmick is the ability to fire her dual exhaust pipes as a single missile in both robot and vehicle mode. She features fully working suspension, but due to the transformation locking both wheels in place, it is not available in vehicle mode.

:Despite being intended for a sub-line that focuses on fast and fairly easy transformations, the design of the shoulder joints and the nature of the transformation can make transforming from robot to vehicle mode frustrating. Ironic.

*'''Autobot [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] / Arcee / [[Mikaela Banes]]''' (Human Alliance, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-25'''

: Coming with Skids and Mikaela Banes, ''[[Human Alliance]]'' Arcee is a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. As with the other Human Alliance vehicles, Mikaela can ride her in her vehicle mode.

: This figure, which is somewhere in between [[Legends Class|Legends]] and [[size class|Scout Class]] size, has a motorcycle mode that is slightly similar to Arcee's Ducati 848, with some elements resembling the Aprilia RS125 Mikaela is riding at one point in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|movie]], and some elements entirely made up. The robot mode, meanwhile, is clearly that of the blue motorcycle, [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]]. Hasbro explained in their monthly Q&A that it ''is'' meant to resemble Mikaela's bike, and they called it "Arcee" so kids wouldn't be confused by two separate red/pink bikes.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref> Also, the face, which is mostly unpainted save for a few small details, doesn't resemble ROTF Arcee's movie design at all. In fact, the head design bears some resemblance to [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]].

: Despite being larger than a Legends Class figure, Arcee features less [[articulation]] than most of them. While her right elbow features a swivel joint, the left arm is sculpted in one piece, and the elbow fixed in a permanent position.

: This mold was later redecoed into ''Dark of the Moon'' Human Alliance [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]].

*'''[[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] / Chromia / [[Seymour Simmons]]''' (Human Alliance, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-31'''

: Coming with Mudflap and Seymour Simmons, Human Alliance Chromia is, you guessed it, a robot that transforms into a motorcycle. Simmons can ride her in her vehicle mode as well.

: Aside from the colour scheme, this "Chromia" is clearly meant to be Arcee as it has the main component's robot mode, and its vehicle mode is closer to Arcee's than either the motorcycle included with Human Alliance Skids or the Deluxe Chromia. Its higher level of movie-accuracy includes a much more accurate head sculpt, and although its left arm is also cast in one piece, the extra articulation in the shoulders, waist and hips makes the figure more posable than the other HA motorcycle.

: The transformation is surprisingly complex and fiddly for a figure this size, which is basically a non-autotransforming version of the larger FAB. In robot mode the figure has a piece than the wheels can stand on to support them, or be rotated behind to prop the figure up with some care. The kickstand is too short to hold the bike upright in vehicle mode, although this is easily fixed by gluing a small piece of black plastic to its base to lengthen it. She suffers from balance issues in robot mode as well, since her robot-mode stand ends up placed more towards her left side instead of at the center, meaning she tends to fall to her right side often.

: She also comes packaged incompletely transformed, with her (difficult to open) right hand left untransformed as the motorbike's seat. Good luck getting ''that'' out.

*'''Elita-1''' (Deluxe, 2010)

**''Accessories:'' Missile, figure stand/cannons

:Elita-1 is a black, white and metallic pink [[redeco]] of Chromia, transforming from a unicycle-robot into a {{w|Suzuki B-King}} motorcycle. Her vehicle mode weapon can attach as a display stand for either mode, ironically making a unicyclebot one of the most stable robot-modes. In robot mode, there is a spring-loaded missile between the tailpipes on Chromia's left hand in addition to the aforementioned non-firing blaster-stand. She is slightly retooled from the original Chromia figure, sporting an extra tab that allows her chest to lock together more securely. She was released as part of the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] promotion.

:Elita-1 features a small [[Mech Alive]] gimmick: swinging her left forearm towards and away from her body makes a blue piston slide back and forth inside the large gun. Her stand has sculpted tank threads on the bottom, most likely to make it look that she's still mobile while using it. Her license plate has ''3L 174'' written on it as an stylish way of spelling her own name. [[Headmaster (Animated)|A certain fellow]] would approve of that.

:[[TakaraTomy]] initially mistakenly solicited their release of Elita-1 using the purple Arcee redeco from the "Rotorwash Rumble" pack. The actual released toy uses the Chromia mold just like Hasbro, with a more [[show-accuracy|screen accurate]] deco that uses more purple paint.

*'''Arcee''' (Deluxe, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' Sidecar/blaster/figure stand

:A redeco of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee figure, this version is mostly cast in smoky clear pink plastic, with her sidecar being white this time. Liberally scattered across her body are opaque pink [[Cyberglyphics]]. The packaging callouts return to falsely indicating that her left elbow contains moving gears.

:As with the other [[Target]] [[exclusive]] "Cyberglyph" redecos ([[Space Case (DOTM)#Dark of the Moon|Space Case]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Cyberglyph|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)#Dark of the Moon|Autobot Jazz]]), she comes with a comic book by [[IDW Publishing]], ''[[Transformers: Arcee]]''.

: She was also made available in Canada as a Zellers exclusive, in New Zealand as a Farmers exclusive (both in English-only US-style packaging minus the "only at Target" sticker), in the United Kingdom as a Tesco exclusive, and in Germany as a Müller exclusive (both in typical [[multilingual packaging|multilingual European packaging]] including a multilingual comic).

:At both [[BotCon 2011]] and [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, the Hasbro slide presentation referred to this figure as Elita-1. Alrighty then.

:This mold Elita-1 is redecoed from actually uses Chromia's robot design (similarly to Elita-1's Deluxe-class toy) despite originally being named and colored like Arcee, meaning that the purple bike is a recolor of the red bike who somehow had the blue bike's body. Confused yet?

She comes packaged with new molds of [[Chromia (ROTF)#Studio Series|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)#Studio Series|Elita-1]] in a three pack priced at the standard deluxe $20, making the three the smallest toys in the ''Studio Series'' line to date. Each one of the sisters also comes with a stand for their bottom wheels, helping them stay upright.

Part of [[Burger King]]'s 2009 promotion of ''Revenge Of The Fallen'', Arcee is a non-transformable motorcycle that launches out of a purple base when a button in the shape of the Autobot symbol is pushed on the top. When she whooshes out of the front, which has her face on it, it only goes a few feet until it stops.

==Notes==
[[File:Movie scale chart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|In the time before time...]]
===Single Arcee===
*Arcee was originally going to be a member of the live-action movie's Autobot cast, but was later replaced by [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. According to screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]], they would have needed to explain the point behind female robots, which there wasn't any time for in the movie.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/02/exclusive-interview-robert-orci?page=3 Roberto Orci explaining the reasons for Arcee's removal from the script in an interview with IGN.]</ref> Oddly enough, there was no attempt to do so in ROTF.
*In another interview, Alex Kurtzman cited "scale issues" as an additional reason for dropping Arcee; allegedly, Michael Bay simply considered her too small as compared to the rest of the Autobots.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070714214451/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies/transformersmovie/005082421.cfm?page=1 Wizard interview with Kurtzman and Orci]</ref>
*As part of [[BotCon 2007]]'s Hasbro tour, fans viewed "Robot Scale Chart v03", dated 11.22.05, which showed Arcee's height as 9' (2.7m). However, all of the designs on this chart were very early and later heavily revised (though [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] was revised far less than the others).
*It's commonly assumed that Arcee's big part in the movie would have been the scene in which [[William Lennox]] starts his solo assault on [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] using an abandoned motorcycle. However, the screenwriters rejected that notion, stating that this scene wasn't written until ''after'' Arcee had already been dropped from the script—but if she ''had'' remained in the movie, that scene ''would'' have probably featured her as the motorcycle.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/2288318-post539.html Orci once again clearing up the story between Arcee and the motorcycle Lennox uses during the final battle]</ref>
*Arcee came ''this'' close to being killed off in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', as the trade states that two revisions of the plot had her dying.
*Arcee's Cybertronian design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by her Generation 1 [[Arcee (G1)|namesake]].

===Arcee triplets===
[[File:ROTFConceptArceeCombinerDVD.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|So apparently Chromia and Elita-1 were green and silver at some point? Okay.]]
*It's not especially clear whether ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Arcee is one consciousness controlling three bodies, or three separate individuals. Writer [[Roberto Orci]] explained that she was written as a singular entity, but that [[Michael Bay]] "kept them as individuals".<ref>[http://transformerslive.blogspot.com/2009/07/ask-orci-final-edition.html Roberto Orci answers questions on the Transformers Live blogspot, July 13, 2009.]</ref> If this was Bay's intention, it does not particularly come across in the movie (as the trio doesn't really ''do'' anything), beyond perhaps Arcee referring to her components in the plural form in one instance. The novelization of the film adheres to the script's intent, describing Arcee as a "[[tripartite Cybertronian]]", while the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline chose instead to identify Arcee as only ''one'' of the bikes (the pink/red one), and characterize the other two as the separate characters [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]], who were characterised as Arcee's sisters.
**IDW Publishing's ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]'' mini-series, complimented a few years later by ''[[Transformers: Rising Storm|Rising Storm]]'', goes to some lengths to marry the two concepts, depicting Arcee, Elita-1 and Chromia as a trio of robots animated by one spark, sharing thoughts and feelings but still possessing some degree of autonomy from one another.
**[[Titan Books|Titan]]'s comics, on the other hand, depict Arcee as having three bodies in their comic strips (sometimes even forgetting about ''that'' and drawing her in her original first movie toyline body), only to have their letters pages make the contradictory claims that a) they ''were'' separate robots who aren't related and Arcee's just the only one namechecked, and b) that ''nobody knows'' and that it depends "on who you ask".
**Hasbro ''Dark of the Moon'' website adheres to the original idea for Arcee, identifying her as a "a single mind that operates three bodies". Further, it follows through on the events of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' by stating that two of her components were destroyed during the battle at Giza. That, of course, is in fairly complete contradiction to previous Hasbro bios that have Elita-One still operating in the post-movie [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] setting.
[[File:ROTFAnimaticBikerGroups.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|SIX! SIX BIKE GIRLS! ah ha ha ha *sob*]]
*It was originally intended that the three individual "Arcees" would combine into a singular, larger robot in the film, but Michael Bay chose to drop the idea for fear of the confusion it would cause given how much else was already going on in the film.<ref>[http://www.siggraph.org/s2009/computer_animation_festival/sessions/details/?id=131 Q&A session with ILM effects supervisor Scott Farrar at Siggraph 2009]</ref> The idea evidently remained until comparatively late in production; both an unknown designer (see above right) and [[Steve Jung]] [http://web.archive.org/web/20160323144936/http://stevejung.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=0 created a model] for the combined robot, and it appears in both the film's novelization and in the animatic for the Shanghai battle scene included on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD. A vestigial reference to the combination even exists in the finished Arcee, Chromia and Elita-1 toys in the form of a fold-out tab on each that allows them to link up back-to-back. Despite claims made by Hasbro that instructions for the trio's combined form would be made available online, the eventual relegation of Elita to a simple redeco of Chromia neutralized any real chance of the figures attaining any true combination capability.
*The [[bio]] for ''Revenge of the Fallen''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s other motorbike Autobot [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]] seems to refer to Arcee's change in form between the first and second movie toylines, claiming that he wants to undergo the new "combiner retrofit" he's been hearing about, strongly implying that Arcee underwent the same process. The absence of Arcee's combined mode from the film and IDW's own later explanation for her change in form kinda screwed this, though.
*The animatics of the Shanghai battle scene included on the ROTF DVD serve to '''make Arcee more confusing'''. The "Lamborghini Jump" animatic depicts a trio of three female motorcycle Transformers (two red, one either silver or black) chasing Sideways, similar to the scene with Arcee and her compatriots as it appears in the final film. However, as the animatic continues, at least two of the bike-girls jump on Sideways in mid-pursuit, who he manages to throw off and into a building by swerving. Sideways is then confronted by ''another'' trio of bikes (pink, yellow and blue), who merge into a single robot and flip towards him, only to inexplicably disappear immediately afterwards. What the ''hell?''
*For some reason, Arcee's ''Revenge of the Fallen'' body is flipped horizontally between the toy and her actual appearance in the film, with her gun and motorcycle mode fairing appearing on opposite sides in each representation.
*While ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is wholly apathetic on whether or not the shots that take down Arcee are fatal, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would later claim that all three Arcee components were killed<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/274058-dvd-blu-ray-commentary-4.html#post4226117 DVD/Blu-Ray Commentary - Page 4 - TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards]</ref> at the behest of director Michael Bay.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1608508/story.jhtml Michael Bay Reveals 'Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen' Death]</ref> IDW's comics ignored this and continued to feature the three sisters in stories set after the film's events.

[[File:LaserbeakG1toy.JPG|upright=1.66|thumb|Sure, Soundwave comes with [[Buzzsaw (G1)/toys#Generation 1|that other guy]], but you know you want me.]]
*'''Frenzy & Laserbeak''' (Cassette 2-pack, 1984/1985)
**''Accessories:'' Left and right laser guns

:Originally a ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' "Micro Cassette Robo Condor", Laserbeak transforms into a microcassette that can fit into the tape door of the [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster (G1)/toys|Blaster]] toys. He was released in a two-pack with [[Frenzy (G1)/toys|Frenzy]] in Hasbro markets across 1984 and 1985; in the latter year, a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]] was added to the figure. His chromed thruster-blaster add-ons have some very minor mold variations to them, like several other early ''Transformers'' toys... which we're frankly not going to try and catalog which later reissues have which versions because ''argh''.

:This mold was also used to make [[Buzzsaw (G1)#Generation 1|Buzzsaw]], [[Garboil (G1)#Collector's Edition|Garboil]], and [[Sundor#Encore|Sundor]].

**''ID number:'' '''20''' (1985), '''D-60''' (1986), '''D-105''' (1987)
**''Accessories:'' Left and right laser guns, tape case

:1985 saw [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release Laserbeak (AKA "Condor") in Japan, all on his lonesome. Some versions of the mold sported a thin horizontal ridge running parallel to his head/brow unlike the regular flat head/brow release. Like all his cassette contemporaries, he was packaged in a small box, came with a clear tape case he could be "stored" in. He was re-released in Japan in 1986, this time on a blister card, with a new ID number and without his case, and then again in 1987, with his original packaging and case reinstated, with yet another ID number.

**''Accessories:'' Left and right "Twin Mortor Cannons", tape case
:[[Linkin Park]] Laserbeak is a gold and ... also gold [[redeco]] of Buzzsaw. He's packaged with Linkin Park gold redecoes of [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Linkin|Soundwave]], [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Linkin|Ravage]], [[Ratbat (G1)#Linkin|Ratbat]] and Buzzsaw (whom he is completely identical to) on a flocked-purple plastic tray inside a special commemorative box.

===Titanium Series===

*'''Soundwave''' (6" Cybertron Heroes)

:Among the smallest of all Transformers, ''Titanium'' Laserbeak is a tiny 1" wide rendition of his cassette form, though without the holes normally seen on tapes. Like the larger Soundwave figure he comes with, his design deviates somewhat from his original design, instead being black with red stripes. He also does not come with his [[jet pack]].

:A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] [[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebomb]], Laserbeak transforms from a humanoid robot to a robotic bird of prey. He came with a pair of clear-blue blades that can combine to form a large [[energon weapon]], plus a blue Decepticon-style [[Energon star|energon chip]]. He was available only as a poly-bagged set with his mold-mate Buzzsaw, sold as an "at the show" souvenir set at [[BotCon 2006]], limited to 500 pieces.

===Classics===

*'''Soundwave''' (Commemorative Edition, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left and right laser guns, tape cases

:Hasbro's first reissue of the original Laserbeak toy came packaged with Soundwave and "Battle" Ravage. The set was originally intended to be part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' of Generation 1 reissues, but when that line was cancelled, it was instead released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' toyline. The phrase "Commemorative Edition" is prominently displayed on the front and sides of the box, though, and it remains exclusive to [[Toys"R"Us]], as all Commemorative Edition toys were. Laserbeak features slightly more orangey-red paint on his body than normal, and comes with a tape case for the first time in Hasbro markets. He and Ravage can now both fit inside Soundwave at the same time, as this edition marked the first Hasbro release of Soundwave with the double-wide chest-door created for his Japanese Soundblaster retooling in 1987.

This version was the first Japanese reissue to reinstate the darker orange stickers of original figure, but now features the more reddish-orange paint seen on Hasbro's ''Classics'' reissue. As with all the cassettes in the set, he came with his now-familiar clear cassette case.

*'''Laserbeak''' (Scout Class, 2012)
**''Accessories:'' Left and right axes
:Laserbeak is a black, silver, and red [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Skystalker (ROTF)#Revenge of the Fallen|Skystalker]]. He transforms from a robot into a flying-wing-style stealth jet drone similar to the {{w|BAE Corax}}, with large engine intakes on both sides of the fuselage that resemble those of a {{w|Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit}} and sculpted zigzag patterns like those found on an {{w|F-22 Raptor}}. Undocumented in the instructions, the two axes that peg into his palms as weapons for his robot mode can also clip directly to his forearms (giving them a superficial similarity to tonfa). For vehicle mode, they integrate into the stealth jet's wings. The robot mode feet are spring-loaded so the heels and toes collapse down and together when the feet are lifted off the ground. Laserbeak's head has been decoed in a way reminiscent of Laserbeak's pre-Earth form seen in the Generation 1 cartoon.

:Like Skystalker, Laserbeak has one undocumented feature: his vehicle mode can attach on top of Voyager Class [[Mindwipe (ROTF)#Revenge of the Fallen|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Mindwipe's]] alternate mode via two pegs. Additionally, Laserbeak's axe/hook weapons can clip onto Mindwipe's shins.

:Laserbeak was first released to Asian markets with entirely English ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' packaging, but later was released also in North America in ''Generations'' packaging that was in both English and Chinese to lampshade the toy's origin.

:This mold was also used to make [[Sunspot]] and Tokyo Toy Show-[[exclusive]] Generation 2 [[Smokescreen (G2)#TokyoToyShow|Smokescreen]].

: Part of the first wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' Laserbeak is a [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]] "[[data disc]]" that transforms into a robotic bird. He is capable of storing in and launching out of Soundwave's chest compartment, and features a [[Autotransformation|fully automatic, spring-loaded transformation]] to bird mode that is triggered when a button on his underside is pressed.

: The [[TakaraTomy]] version of Laserbeak, part of the fourth wave of Japanese ''Generations'' toys, uses a deeper red plastic than the [[Hasbro]] version.

The forklift mode features a peg intended for use with a [[Titan Master]] figure, and the communicator mode can connect with certain Leader Class figures from the ''Titans Return'' subline imprint, such as [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Blaster]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Soundwave]]. Like Buzzsaw, his stickers are prone to coming off at the edges, particularly in the areas that require transformation such as the wings.

:Included with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-13 Soundwave]], Condor features a very different transformation sequence that gives him a fully show-accurate design, with his jet thrusters no longer being separate accessories, all while transforming into a mini-cassette the same size as his ''Generation 1'' toy, which means that he is perfectly capable of fitting in a G1 Soundwave toy. A small flip-up tab on his head hides the camera he used in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. He comes with a pink case which can be used to store him in tape mode. Care should be used when transforming this figure, particularly around the jet thrusters, as both the arms connecting the thrusters to the main body, as well as the winglets on top of thrusters are prone to breakage.

:This mold was later [[repaint]]ed into [[Buzzsaw (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-16 Buzzsaw]].

:Part of the second wave of Kreon Warriors, "Wiseguy Soundwave" includes a clip-on bird that's painted like Laserbeak and probably ''is'' but is not actually labeled as such.

:The Kreon Warriors, while originally slated for U.S. release, never actually got released there, not even at clearance chains. The sets did get released in Canada, Australia, and Asian markets. And unfortunately, the bags lack individual code numbers to tell what's inside.

He was available in a variety of colours, including white, blue, sky blue, yellow, green, and orange, and as a candy toy, came packaged with chocolate-covered caramel candies.

*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
:Laserbeak was among the many characters released by Takara as part of their own larger series of ''keshigomu'' figures. Like all the Decepticons in the series, he was molded in soft purple rubber, and featured a number sculpted into his back that was the sum total of his Tech Specs, for use in the various games that could be played with the figurines. Laserbeak was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Decepticon figures, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.
:Laserbeak is notable for being the only one of Takara's original 52 ''keshigomu'' who was ''not'' imported by Hasbro as part of their "[[Decoy]]" promotion. Or at least, he is not included on the checklist packaged with the figures; collectors [[Jon Hartman|Jon]] and [[Karl Hartman]] believe it to be possible that Laserbeak was released by Hasbro, so if you have proof of Laserbeak on a Hasbro card, contact them!

:Destro's accessories include [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] in the form of a non-transforming tape deck and three micro-casettes capable of being placed within the Soundwave toy; red, orange, and gold cassettes that represent [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], Laserbeak, and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]].

===The Loyal Subjects===
[[File:Tlslaserbeak.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:[[The Loyal Subjects]] Laserbeak is a Wave 3 figure with limited articulation, due to his unique design. Laserbeak can, however, "transform" to tape mode because of his folding legs and wings. For every 16 figures, there is 1 Laserbeak. Despite his slight rarity, Laserbeak is easy to find because his box is much lighter than any of the other figures'.

:Like most of his wave, Laserbeak's bio card plagiarizes this wiki article's opening paragraphs.

==Notes==
[[File:C64TransformersTitleScreen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*Although the Laserbeak and Buzzsaw toys had a standard cassette deco on one side, the cartoon chose to show the bird side in its depictions of their [[alternate mode]]s, effectively making either side accurate.
*The title screen to Ocean's ''[[The Transformers (Commodore 64)|Transformers]]'' game for the Commodore 64 depicts either a Laserbeak or a Buzzsaw that is primarily red with gold wings. Get on it, [[e-HOBBY]]!

Devastator (ROTF)

{{factions|decepticonfilm}}
{{disambig3|Devastator}}
:''Devastator is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] [[combiner]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:ROTF_Devastator_promo.jpg|thumb|400px|[[City of Steel (episode)|King Kong]] ain't got nothin' on me!]]

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

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

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

Devastator is made up of:
*[[Scavenger (ROTF)|Scavenger]] (torso)
*[[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]] (left arm)
*[[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]] (right leg)
*[[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] (head)
*[[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] (left leg/foot) (more likely to be foot because of the yellow dump truck)
*[[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]] (right arm)
;Sometimes omitted
*[[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]] (lower waist)
*[[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|Yellow dump truck]] (left leg)
*[[Unknown Constructicon shovel|Second bulldozer]] (left hand)
;Other configurations
*[[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] (stand-in for Scavenger)
*[[Hook (ROTF)|Hook]] (stand-in for Hightower)
*[[Bonecrusher (ROTF Constructicon)|Bonecrusher]] (stand-in for Rampage)
*[[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] (stand-in for the second bulldozer)

{{voiceactor|[[Frank Welker]] (English), [[Yasuyoshi Hara]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:Devastator-ROTFvsLeoSpitz.jpg|thumb|left|300px|He's like a giant puppy! Who wants to eat you.]]

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

[[File:ROTF Devastator death.jpg|thumb|275px|Hi ho, hi ho-HOLY SLAG!]]
[[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] yelled Devastator's name from atop the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] to end the twins' distraction. Devastator clambered out of the construction pit and grappled his way to the peak of the pyramid, where he used his vortex grinder to suck up the stones that hid the [[Star Harvester|star harvester]] inside. By this point, Simmons had made his way to the pyramid, and he radioed a nearby navy ship to fire its experimental [[rail gun]], which had been developed based on studies of Megatron during his captivity at [[Hoover Dam]]. The gun's projectile hit Devastator, blasting off an arm and the lower half of his leg, making him lose his balance, causing him to shatter into many pieces as his body tumbled down the pyramid. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Devastator's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', ''[[Revenge of the Fallen: The Junior Novel]]'' and ''[[The Last Prime]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]''; and the storybooks "[[I Am Optimus Prime (ROTF)|I Am Optimus Prime]]", "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]", "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Electronic Voice Changer]]" and "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Mix & Match]]".}}

===Titan movie comics===

The Decepticons recovered Devastator's remains, and brought them to the peaks of [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], so that the behemoth could be repaired by a squad under the watchful optics of [[Skywarp (Movie)|Skywarp]]. Hiding the construction site with a dense, artificially-generated cloudbank, the Decepticons proceeded with repairs until the unfortunate Autobot [[Stratosphere]] stumbled across their location while on a routine patrol in the area. The partially functional Devastator lashed out at the airborne Autobot, smashing off one of his wings and causing him to crash. Stratosphere survived the hit and fought his way past Skywarp to co-opt the Decepticons' communications array, using it to call in an air-strike on Devastator's position. Stratosphere and his fellow Autobots wondered if Devastator could have survived the massive blast that followed, but they decided not to wait around to find out. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.14|Head in the Clouds}}

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

**''Japanese Name'': '''EZ Collection DX Devastator'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[July]] [[2009]]
:Like the on-screen combiner, but unlike the Supreme Class Devastator toy, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Legends Class Devastator comprises seven Constructicons, including the elusive [[Overload (ROTF)|Overload]], each with individual robot modes. Because of this, he is a lot more complex than the Supreme class toy, with a more "layered" look than his movie counterpart had. Devastator is (roughly) Deluxe sized while standing up. The only real drawback he has is that he almost has no articulation. But hey, you can't have everything, right?
[[File:TF-ROTF-EZ-Collection-Constructicons.jpg|left|200px|thumb]]
:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, this Devastator set was available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] in North America, an Argos exclusive in the UK and a Farmers exclusive in New Zealand, packaged in a currently-unique clear box in gestalt mode. A huge two-sided instruction sheet explains transformation in both directions from gestalt to vehicles and vehicles to robots, with the curious note that "Some poses may require hand support".

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

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-16'''
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' Supreme Class Devastator is formed from the combination of six transforming construction vehicle toys that do not have individual robot modes. Unlike [[Duocon|prior]] [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|cases]] of this format, Devastator's vehicles represent separate Transformers, [[Scavenger (ROTF)|and]] [[Rampage (ROTF)|most]] [[Long Haul (ROTF)|of]] [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|them]] have other non-combiner toys that ''do'' have robot modes.

:Despite the figure's complex appearance (from the front anyway), the limbs' transformations into combined mode are rather simple. Fortunately, this makes him a lot easier to muck with than some of the other larger-scale ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys. This is good, because Devastator is ENORMOUS. His smallest limbs (his legs) are the size of Deluxe-class toys, and his largest components are bigger than Leader-class toys. While the legs can not be swapped (unless for some reason you want a backwards walking Devastator), the arms can be swapped around. The pegs meant to plug Rampage and Long Haul into Devastator's hips also fit snugly into the sockets meant for connecting Scrapper and Hightower to Scavenger... if you're inclined to have a random arm connected to a stray leg with no body in between, or a vehicle mode about as useful as a poorly matched [[Micromaster Combiner]] pair.

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

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

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

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
:''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Power Bots|Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

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

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

Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, this Devastator only uses purple for the Constructicons' windshields, and as a result is mostly lime green and gray.

Additionally, he has the entirely gray face of Devastator's concept design, rather than the primarily red one from the film itself.

[[File:ROTF Devastator and components concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|"Six?! What happened to seven?!" "Just kidding."]]
*Technically, Devastator stands at 100 feet tall, as illustrated in the film's official scale chart. However, he's so top-heavy that it is only possible for him to rise to 45 feet. This makes him about twice as tall Optimus Prime and on a roughly equal level to [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]], although he far surpasses either of them in bulk.
*In the film, none of Devastator's components are shown as individual Transformers. This might vaguely justify why the components of his Supreme class toy lack individual robot modes.
*Devastator's final CGI head differed from that used for his promotional images, including more red panels and several pulleys and wires, four highly pronounced horns, and a trio of throat gears lit like a furnace instead of a single complex vortex machine lit green like his eyes.
*In the film, there are ''nine'' vehicles that form Devastator! A [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|yellow bulldozer]] is seen unfolding and is then scooped up by Devastator's left arm, which has been formed by Hightower. Another [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] lines up next to Rampage and helps him form the leg. This means two things: It explains why Devastator's left arm has scoops on it while Hightower's vehicle mode has no such equipment, and also why none of the Devastator toys are movie-accurate.
**In the [[Hasbro_Q%26A/December_2009:_Answers|December 2009 Q&A]] Hasbro stated that there are seven Constructicons that form Devastator. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] explained that Devastator can be formed by any number from six to nine.<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 2.13#Law and Disorder|Transformers Comic issue 2.13, Law and Disorder]]</ref> [[Vector Sigma]]'s online [[Datatrax|Data Tracks]] revealed that Devastator's composition is not set. Devastator is simply bigger the more Constructicons unite.<ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/cybertronian-database.cfm#/glossary/constructicon Vector Sigma's online glossary]</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 52,632 geometric pieces and 11,716,127 polygons. The total length of all the pieces is 13.84 miles. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*Devastator is made up of 6467 total textures, taking up 32 gigabytes of computer space. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
*When Devastator punches the pyramid, its hand is traveling at 390 miles per hour. <ref>Robertson, Barbara (2009). Weighty Matters. Computer Graphics World, 32(7), 20-29</ref>
[[File:Devastator-ROTFenemyscrotum.jpg|thumb|250px|NSFW]]
*Devastator's got [[Humanization#Nuts.2C_bolts.2C_and_screws|brass balls]]. Exactly ''how'' is pretty questionable; even the crane Hightower would only have one wrecking ball as a counterweight meaning this was just another cheap, throw-away gag. When Hasbro was asked if there ever will be a Devastator toy with wrecking balls, they replied straight out "no".
**The Devastator Showdown track set does, however, feature one wrecking ball that chases cars down the track. Hmmm.
*According to [[Shawn Kelly]], the [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] lead animator for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Devastator caused a computer to catch fire spontaneously and its insides to melt. <ref>''Nickelodeon Magazine'', issue 153, published June 2009</ref> One assumes he was exaggerating for the purposes of publicity, as it is improbable for modern computers to actually catch fire under operations for which they are designed, such as rendering an extremely complex model. The special features on the DVD do (indirectly) show one of the computers blowing, with lots of black smoke and the poor animator (and his keyboard) covered in soot. (This was all done as a prank, leading to said animator asking "What the hell, man?") Not quite melting, but still.
*Interestingly, despite the supreme class toy being formed from vehicles similar to his [[Devastator (G1)|''Generation 1'' counterpart]] (dump truck, bulldozer, front end loader, crane, excavator, mixing truck), none of them form the same component in both versions.
*In [[Transformers Generations 2009]], volume 3, a very early Devastator mock-up is pictured that places more emphasis on height than width (being rather creepily lanky) and includes among other things, a [[Blackout (Movie)|Sikorsky]] helicopter as a component. It was [[customizing|customized]] from various figures from other lines, including some from Spawn and Kamen Rider.
*Massive Black's concept art is totally different from the film version: a red mining truck forms the torso, an excavator and timber harvester form the arms, and the legs are formed by a military plow and bulldozer. The resulting robot is human in posture.<ref>[http://www.kempart.com/CAPOST/CApost4rt/Devastator01.jpg]</ref>
*Devastator has a [[tongue]], which is cool and disturbing-looking at the same time.
*According to a [[catalog]] included with ROTF toys, the ONLY way for the Autobots to defeat Devastator is by combining Optimus Prime and Jetfire.
*Given that the film establishes multiple sets of Constructicons, it seems entirely possible that more than one "Devastator" could be formed.
*Devastator was in an early draft of ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', but was dropped at Hasbro's request.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/members/mowry-73165.html#vmessage167559 Mowry's profile at TFW2005.com]</ref>

[[File:Long Haul ROTF render.jpg|right|upright=2.2|thumb|The big, green, complaining machine.]]
'''Long Haul''' wishes he could spend more time in battle, destroying his enemies with projectile weaponry. Instead, he often finds himself stuck in the role of pack mule amongst the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s, lugging around the other Decepticons' gear. He finds this a highly loathsome task, so it isn't surprising that stuff left in his truck bed has a tendency to get lost in transit.

There are at least three 'bots who share the same body-type and color scheme; one of which forms the right leg of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], while another saw action in [[Chicago]]. Either one of them may or may not be named "Long Haul". His body-type is also shared with numerous yellow [[Constructicon Warrior]]s.

[[File:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"'Get this.' 'Bring that.' I thought I was finally gonna ''build'' somethin'!"]]
After the [[AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], Long Haul, [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

[[File:LongHaul-ROTFlooksforSam.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Not exactly the scouting type.]]
Some time later, Long Haul and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present during [[Operation: Firestorm]] in [[Egypt]]. The other Long Haul and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked.

[[File:ROTF Long Haul death.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Well ''of course'' he complained about this.]]
Elsewhere, Long Haul joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and the other Decepticons in their search for [[Sam Witwicky]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Long Haul, being one of the biggest bots in the group, fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, killing many soldiers and even shooting down a Jordanian helicopter. Meanwhile, [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. Long Haul was destroyed soon after during the [[United States Air Force]] air strike on the remaining Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Long Haul’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel ''[[The Last Prime]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]''; and the storybook "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]".}}

It was him who discovered [[human]]s on Earth, remarking there were a number of these breakable creatures out there and remarking they weren't "tough like ''us''". When [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] ordered work on the harvester to be stopped, as they couldn't kill a living world, Long Haul told him to bog off.

Jetfire turned on the Fallen over this, and so the construction drones were ordered to take him out. Unfortunately for Long Haul, ''he'' got taken out. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}} {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====
[[File:ROTFgame 360PS3PC LongHaul shanghai.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Finally I get to blow something up!]]

Long Haul served as the Decepticons' ground-based heavy-hitter, with his long-range [[charged grenade]]s and flamethrower. He could also initiate a combat repair sequence that would rapidly regenerate his health, much like the Autobot [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s repair ability.

After [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] cleared out most of the [[Protectobot Scout|Protectobots]] from [[Shanghai]] construction area, Long Haul was deployed to upload a virus into all of the [[NEST]] communications arrays in the area. Soon after, Long Haul was sent to the Shanghai spiral highway to destroy two NEST field headquarters and their defenders, drawing the Autobot [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] out into the open. Both combatants were roughly evenly matched, but Long Haul's long-range charged grenades and his combat repair sequence gave him the edge to defeat Ironhide this time. Long Haul was soon sent back to the spiral highway to follow in the wake of a cloaked Autobot probe, which was, to add insult to injury, created by salvaging Decepticon technology. The Decepticon shrugged off attacks by the Autobot defenders, chased after the probe and destroyed it when it revealed itself.

Later, Long Haul was sent to the [[United States of America|United States]] West Coast oil refinery to capture the human female known as [[Mikaela Banes]], who might know the location of an [[AllSpark|AllSpark fragment]]. He destroyed numerous buildings to force the engineers to evacuate, then brought them to an interrogator probe that plumbed the minds of these primitive organic beings. Though none of the subjects survived the torture, one did provide the location of the human female before he expired, and Long Haul was able to capture her. Unfortunately, she was rescued by the Autobots soon after Long Haul left the area.

After Megatron's glorious resurrection, Long Haul was deployed to the East Coast industrial area to chase after and destroy yet another cloaked Autobot probe. Soon after, he was sent to the East Coast city with the L-train to send a message to the pathetic humans that their NEST and the Autobots could not protect them. Despite overwhelming odds, Long Haul attacked and destroyed the primitive power plant and the crude televisual broadcasting station.

Following their journey to Egypt, the Decepticons discovered that the Autobot collaborators had given the human insects the [[Axiom Gun]], which was being used in [[Cairo]] to attack the Decepticons. Furious, Megatron ordered Long Haul to destroy the weapon. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

=====Autobot campaign=====
At the Shanghai spiral highway, Ironhide was eager for payback for his earlier defeat at the hands of Long Haul. He destroyed the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticon]] units assigned to the area to draw Long Haul out, then the two titans went to town on each other. Once again, both were roughly evenly matched in terms of physical strength and firepower, but in the end, Ironhide's experience and cunning prevailed.

{{Note|As well as the "main" green Long Haul, there were also several ''yellow'' Long Haul [[Constructicon Warrior]] units that were a constant pain for the Autobot forces. These units were equipped with an [[Energon Wave Cannon]] similar to [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]'s. Also, Long Haul himself has an alternate color scheme which matches the Warrior's paint job, albeit with Long Haul's abilities.}} {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

*'''Devastation Blast Long Haul''' (Fast Action Battler, 2009)

: Part of the ''[[Fast Action Battlers]]'' subline, "Devastation Blast" Long Haul is a simplified toy aimed at younger children. His main [[gimmick]] is a "punching" attack that causes his right arm to extend, activated by pushing a button on his shoulder. Due to this gimmick, his right arm has no elbow joint.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
: Mega [[Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

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

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

==Notes==
* Artist [[Josh Nizzi]] attracted the attention of [[Hasbro]]'s ''Transformers'' design director [[Aaron Archer]], director [[Michael Bay]] and the ''Transformers'' [[fandom]] when he created a "movie-style" design for Long Haul in [[2007]]. Nizzi's work impressed Hasbro and the director enough for him to be hired as a concept artist and for his Long Haul design to actually be used for the character in the movie, associated media and merchandise. It was the very first design approved for ''Revenge of the Fallen''.<ref>[http://www.news-gazette.com/arts-entertainment/local/2009-06-23/champaign-native-realizes-dream-character-designs.html Josh Nizzi interview at News-Gazette.com, June 23, 2009]</ref>
* In ''Revenge of the Fallen'', the Long Haul that combines into Devastator has "L250" labeled on the front and on the bucket.
* In the original fanart by [[Josh Nizzi]], Long Haul's [[alternate mode]] is a {{w|Caterpillar 797|CAT 797}}, with an overall length of 14.5m / 47.67ft. However, the vehicle which becomes the left leg of Devastator is a smaller CAT 773B with an overall length of 10.3m / 33.5ft. Either this was a change made during the adaptation from art to CGI, or the two Long Hauls are in fact different vehicles.
* On the [[cross-sell]] for "[[The Fury of Fearswoop]]" multipack, Long Haul is mistakenly given the name "[[Longarm (disambiguation)|Long Arm]]", and is listed as an [[Autobot]].
* Concept art for ''Dark of the Moon'' depicts Long Haul's headless corpse among the garbage at Megatron's camp in Africa, which would imply that Igor is indeed Long Haul's head.
* According to an Instagram post from Josh Nizzi, Long Haul is the [[twin]] [[Relatives|brother]] of [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]] from ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]''. However, this little tidbit has not been referenced in any official media. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BX3g_imj9sG/?hl=es Josh Nizzi en Instagram: "Onslaught, the twin brother of Long Haul."</ref>
**Besides Onslaught, Long Haul's model serves as the basis for [[Canopy]].

The yellow front-end loader is the alternate mode of the Constructicon [[Scrapper (ROTF)|Scrapper]], ''and'' Scrapmetal's robot mode appears to be the same as Scrapper's. As such, the temptation to just consider this a Scrapper unit is great... except that, after the flyover shot, the yellow loader disappears, and is replaced with a yellow Volvo excavator, clearly marked with a large Decepticon [[insignia]]. Meanwhile, ''Hasbro'' have said Scrapmetal turns into a ''bulldozer''.<ref name="scrapmetal"/> For the purposes of reducing headaches, we're assuming that the excavator is the "correct" vehicle mode, and that it just happens to transform into a robot mode that resembles Scrapper... even though it's not him.
**Eventually Scrapmetal would recieve a toy in the Studio Series toyline depicting him in the excavator alternate mode... and taking the place of the [[Unknown Constructicon shovel]] as Devastator's left hand. Does this make them the same character? Who knows!

Rampage (ROTF)

:''Rampage is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:HftDRampageWallpaper.jpg|thumb|350px|Try yellow, it's the new red.]]

'''Rampage''' (aka '''Lasher''' and '''Whipmaster'''<ref>"The Most Wanted Decepticons" card from Rampage Among The Ruins</ref>) is a pretty violent guy. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], he can be followed by the trail of destruction as he wrecks his way through the battlefield, leaving the smell of diesel fumes and hot tar in his wake. His chassis is covered with scratches, dings and dents as a testament to his intense love of battle. Thoroughly whacked in the cranial unit, his idea of beauty is a pile of [[Autobot]] wreckage.

There are at least two 'bots of the same model: one is yellow and forms either the left leg or left foot of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]]; the other is red and is sometimes called '''Skipjack''', which happens to be the name of [[Skipjack (ROTF)|another Constructicon]] of the same body-type.

==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
{{voiceactor|[[Kevin Michael Richardson]] (credited as "Skipjack")}}
[[Image:ROTF-RampageandUnknowndumptruck.jpg|thumb|left|250px|For those of you who thought [[FIRRIB]] was too retreaded, here's "RIRRIY"!]]
Two years after the events in [[Mission City]], Decepticons were once again active on [[Earth]]. When [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] intercepted the location of the [[AllSpark]] shard and the final resting place of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], teams were dispatched to bring about their commander's resurrection. After [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] retrieved the shard from [[Diego Garcia]], he led Rampage, [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|a smaller Constructicon]] to the depths of the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. When Scalpel examined Megatron's corpse, he ordered the larger Constructicons to kill "ze little one" for donor parts, which they obliged.

[[Image:ROTF_movie_BumblebeevsRampage.jpg|thumb|250px|I can't feel my legs! ...Oh, right.]]

During [[Operation: Firestorm]] in [[Egypt]], Rampage's combiner limb counterpart became part of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], attacking former [[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. Meanwhile, Rampage himself appeared during the battle in the Egyptian town to lure [[Sam Witwicky]] into a trap by releasing his captive parents, [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]]. Sam was willing to trade the remains of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] for his parents, but when he realised Bumblebee had arrived, managed to position Rampage for an attack. After a long battle (which also resulted in the death of Ravage), Bumblebee finished Rampage by ripping his arms off and over-extending his neck with a powerful kick, killing him.

[[Image:ROTF Rampage dead.jpg|thumb|left|250px|I told you not to go there!]]

Elsewhere, as Devastator smashed away at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] after shrugging off Skids and Mudflap, Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to fire upon the giant Decepticon. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Rampage's body type was one of the early "construction drones" used to build [[Star Harvester]]s. One of the Rampages, who was neither red ''nor'' yellow, joined [[the Fallen]]'s original Decepticons.

While Sideways battled Longarm through the streets, Rampage's incredible strength made him more than a match for Breakaway. {{storylink|#StrikeMission|Autobot Strike Mission toy bio}}

He also hated that [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]]. {{storylink|#LandmineVsRampage|Landmine VS Rampage}}

His last known location during the [[Hunt for the Decepticons]] was a junkyard in Chicago, where he was recuperating from heavy damage (presumably that suffered in Egypt at the hands of Bumblebee). {{storylink|#RampageAmongTheRuins|Rampage Among The Ruins}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF deluxe Rampage.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He can whip it.]]
*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-06'''

:Rampage transforms from a yellow bulldozer similar to a Komatsu D575A into one of two robot mode configurations, the first of which (his actual in-fiction robot form) is distinctly [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]]-esque. It lacks any functional legs, instead featuring a spring-loaded "jackhammer" assembly. When the figure is bounced along the ground in this mode, his [[Mech Alive]] feature is activated, and a pair of pistons that frame his head pump back and forth. The shovel can be removed in this mode and used as a stand. If legs are preferred, his jackhammer splits and his elaborate [[kibble]] backpack unfolds, together forming four leg-struts to create a free-standing robot form that is rather centaurian in design. Though not mentioned in the instructions or package, the aforementioned backpack can remain folded in robot mode for a more movie-accurate, two-legged 'play' mode of sorts. He features real rubber treads which become arm-mounted whip weapons in robot mode. Unfortunately, due to this design, the treads themselves do not function in vehicle mode.

:Like several toys in the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' toyline, Rampage has had a mold change done somewhere between his instructions being drawn up and the final version of the toy. On the final toy, the rear flap behind the cabin of the bulldozer runs into a screw section used to hold the robot pelvis together. This change also affects where the rear flap and the bulldozer shovel connect in robot mode. On the instructions, this flap is shown as folding flat against the back of the vehicle and said flap is also folded down much farther in robot mode to connect to the shovel. The mold change seems to account for the shovel connection issue in robot mode, but not the problem in vehicle mode. Unlike some others, this change does not directly affect any of the toy's action features or articulation.

*'''Rampage''' (Deluxe, 2010)

:As a redeco of Rampage's first deluxe class toy in red, this release of Rampage represents a more [[show-accuracy|movie accurate]] version of the Rampage who fought Bumblebee in Egypt. Hasbro's version of red Rampage is a straight colour swap, with his yellow plastic replaced with red plastic. As one of the last two figures released in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' deluxe assortment, the red version of Rampage and his casemate [[Evac (Movie)|Evac]] were insanely difficult (if not impossible) to find in U.S. retail stores.

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

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

:This Legends class Rampage is an all-new mold that is different from the Legends class Rampage that came with Legends class Constructicon Devastator. Because he is not encumbered with the need to combine, both his robot and vehicle modes are much more accurate and detailed. His "jackhammer" mode can be achieved by connecting his legs together and flipping his cab-feet down as the tip (as per the [[stock photography|stock photos]]), although he will not be able to stand up well. Meanwhile, his [[instructions]] depict a more stable biped configuration, with his legs spread out and his cab-feet folded back in their vehicle mode position as his "heels".

==Notes==
*Although his correct, finalized name is used in the film (in on-screen subtitles, to be precise), Rampage is listed in the credits under his preliminary name of "'''Skipjack'''". Much confusion ensued, since nobody had actually heard this preliminary name before. As seen in [http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=137233#post137233 concept art], during production, Rampage was referred to as "'''Jumping Jack'''". [[TakaraTomy]] later used the name Skipjack for a [[Skipjack (ROTF)|yellow redeco of the 2010 Legends class Rampage toy]].
*Starscream calls the red Rampage by name in the film. Secondary sources such as the Devastator toys and the [[Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe]] name the yellow Devastator components as Rampage. So, not only do the Decepticons have the same body-form, they have the same name. While other Constructicons have doubles, Rampage is the only one where all the versions of him are explicitly named.
*Due to his small size, the yellow Rampage combines with a [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck|yellow dump truck]] to form Devastator's leg in the film. Another [[Unknown Constructicon shovel|yellow bulldozer]] forms the hand on [[Hightower (ROTF)|Hightower]].
*Both the Robot Hero and the Mega Powerbot version of Devastator depict Rampage as orange. To date, no separate toy of him has been released in this color.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Rampage''' (ランページ ''Ranpēji'')

:''Long Haul is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Long Haul ROTF render.jpg|right|upright=2.2|thumb|The big, green, complaining machine.]]
'''Long Haul''' wishes he could spend more time in battle, destroying his enemies with projectile weaponry. Instead, he often finds himself stuck in the role of pack mule amongst the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s, lugging around the other Decepticons' gear. He finds this a highly loathsome task, so it isn't surprising that stuff left in his truck bed has a tendency to get lost in transit.

There are at least three 'bots who share the same body-type and color scheme; one of which forms the right leg of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]], while another saw action in [[Chicago]]. Either one of them may or may not be named "Long Haul". His body-type is also shared with numerous yellow [[Constructicon Warrior]]s.

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
[[File:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"'Get this.' 'Bring that.' I thought I was finally gonna ''build'' somethin'!"]]
After the [[AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], Long Haul, [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]], [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|Scrapmetal]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dived down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron's]] broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Long Haul and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

[[File:LongHaul-ROTFlooksforSam.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Not exactly the scouting type.]]
Some time later, Long Haul and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present during [[Operation: Firestorm]] in [[Egypt]]. The other Long Haul and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked.

[[File:ROTF Long Haul death.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Well ''of course'' he complained about this.]]
Elsewhere, Long Haul joined [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and the other Decepticons in their search for [[Sam Witwicky]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Long Haul, being one of the biggest bots in the group, fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, killing many soldiers and even shooting down a Jordanian helicopter. Meanwhile, [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. Long Haul was destroyed soon after during the [[United States Air Force]] air strike on the remaining Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Long Haul’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel ''[[The Last Prime]]''; the comic mini-series ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]''; and the storybook "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]".}}

Long Haul's body type was one of the early "construction drones" used to build [[Star Harvester]]s. One of the Long Hauls joined [[The Fallen]]'s original Decepticons. It was him who discovered [[human]]s on Earth, remarking there were a number of these breakable creatures out there and remarking they weren't "tough like ''us''". When [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] ordered work on the harvester to be stopped, as they couldn't kill a living world, Long Haul told him to bog off.

Jetfire turned on the Fallen over this, and so the construction drones were ordered to take him out. Unfortunately for Long Haul, ''he'' got taken out. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}} {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====
[[File:ROTFgame 360PS3PC LongHaul shanghai.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Finally I get to blow something up!]]

Long Haul served as the Decepticons' ground-based heavy-hitter, with his long-range [[charged grenade]]s and flamethrower. He could also initiate a combat repair sequence that would rapidly regenerate his health, much like the Autobot [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]'s repair ability.

After [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] cleared out most of the [[Protectobot Scout|Protectobots]] from [[Shanghai]] construction area, Long Haul was deployed to upload a virus into all of the [[NEST]] communications arrays in the area. Soon after, Long Haul was sent to the Shanghai spiral highway to destroy two NEST field headquarters and their defenders, drawing the Autobot [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] out into the open. Both combatants were roughly evenly matched, but Long Haul's long-range charged grenades and his combat repair sequence gave him the edge to defeat Ironhide this time. Long Haul was soon sent back to the spiral highway to follow in the wake of a cloaked Autobot probe, which was, to add insult to injury, created by salvaging Decepticon technology. The Decepticon shrugged off attacks by the Autobot defenders, chased after the probe and destroyed it when it revealed itself.

Later, Long Haul was sent to the [[United States of America|United States]] West Coast oil refinery to capture the human female known as [[Mikaela Banes]], who might know the location of an [[AllSpark|AllSpark fragment]]. He destroyed numerous buildings to force the engineers to evacuate, then brought them to an interrogator probe that plumbed the minds of these primitive organic beings. Though none of the subjects survived the torture, one did provide the location of the human female before he expired, and Long Haul was able to capture her. Unfortunately, she was rescued by the Autobots soon after Long Haul left the area.

After Megatron's glorious resurrection, Long Haul was deployed to the East Coast industrial area to chase after and destroy yet another cloaked Autobot probe. Soon after, he was sent to the East Coast city with the L-train to send a message to the pathetic humans that their NEST and the Autobots could not protect them. Despite overwhelming odds, Long Haul attacked and destroyed the primitive power plant and the crude televisual broadcasting station.

Following their journey to Egypt, the Decepticons discovered that the Autobot collaborators had given the human insects the [[Axiom Gun]], which was being used in [[Cairo]] to attack the Decepticons. Furious, Megatron ordered Long Haul to destroy the weapon. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

=====Autobot campaign=====
At the Shanghai spiral highway, Ironhide was eager for payback for his earlier defeat at the hands of Long Haul. He destroyed the [[Combaticon (ROTF)|Combaticon]] units assigned to the area to draw Long Haul out, then the two titans went to town on each other. Once again, both were roughly evenly matched in terms of physical strength and firepower, but in the end, Ironhide's experience and cunning prevailed.

{{Note|As well as the "main" green Long Haul, there were also several ''yellow'' Long Haul [[Constructicon Warrior]] units that were a constant pain for the Autobot forces. These units were equipped with an [[Energon Wave Cannon]] similar to [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]]'s. Also, Long Haul himself has an alternate color scheme which matches the Warrior's paint job, albeit with Long Haul's abilities.}} {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

==Notes==
* Artist [[Josh Nizzi]] attracted the attention of [[Hasbro]]'s ''Transformers'' design director [[Aaron Archer]], director [[Michael Bay]] and the ''Transformers'' [[fandom]] when he created a "movie-style" design for Long Haul in [[2007]]. Nizzi's work impressed Hasbro and the director enough for him to be hired as a concept artist and for his Long Haul design to actually be used for the character in the movie, associated media and merchandise. It was the very first design approved for ''Revenge of the Fallen''.<ref>[http://www.news-gazette.com/arts-entertainment/local/2009-06-23/champaign-native-realizes-dream-character-designs.html Josh Nizzi interview at News-Gazette.com, June 23, 2009]</ref>
* In ''Revenge of the Fallen'', the Long Haul that combines into Devastator has "L250" labeled on the front and on the bucket.
* In the original fanart by [[Josh Nizzi]], Long Haul's [[alternate mode]] is a {{w|Caterpillar 797|CAT 797}}, with an overall length of 14.5m / 47.67ft. However, the vehicle which becomes the left leg of Devastator is a smaller CAT 773B with an overall length of 10.3m / 33.5ft. Either this was a change made during the adaptation from art to CGI, or the two Long Hauls are in fact different vehicles.
* On the [[cross-sell]] for "[[The Fury of Fearswoop]]" multipack, Long Haul is mistakenly given the name "[[Longarm (disambiguation)|Long Arm]]", and is listed as an [[Autobot]].
* Concept art for ''Dark of the Moon'' depicts Long Haul's headless corpse among the garbage at Megatron's camp in Africa, which would imply that Igor is indeed Long Haul's head.
* According to an Instagram post from Josh Nizzi, Long Haul is the [[twin]] [[Relatives|brother]] of [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]] from ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight]]''. However, this little tidbit has not been referenced in any official media. <ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/BX3g_imj9sG/?hl=es Josh Nizzi en Instagram: "Onslaught, the twin brother of Long Haul."</ref>
**Besides Onslaught, Long Haul's model serves as the basis for [[Canopy]].

'''Chromia''' is a soldier under the command of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] and seems to function as a second-in-command for her, leading the rest of [[Female Autobots|the team]] when Elita's not around. She's brave, hard as nails and, not surprisingly, in a relationship with [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. She has also taken over from [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] as [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]]'s mentor when the latter turned out to be better suited to more offense-oriented tasks.

[[File:TSFAT Chromia vehicle.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Cybertronic soccer mom.]]
Four million years ago, Chromia tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One's team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.

[[File:Femaleautobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Okay, Firestar, you go out long, Greenlight, you keep back for defense, and Moonracer, try not to trip or something."]]

Chromia led a mission to steal [[energon cube]]s from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. When [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] got trapped after disobeying orders, Chromia confronted the alerted Shockwave and managed to trick him into freeing Moonracer.

Shortly thereafter, a team of [[Decepticon]]s from [[Earth]] came to capture Elita One. In doing so, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroyed the Female Autobots' underground base, trapping them inside. When they managed to free themselves, Chromia took charge of the search for their missing leader. On their way, they met up with a group of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Chromia was reunited with [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]. The two teams together fought the Decepticons, eventually winning when Optimus and Elita returned. Given a new base by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Chromia stayed with Elita's squad on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when Optimus' team returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

[[Tigatron]] of the [[Legends World]] had a dream in which Chromia appeared before him and warned him he was in danger, soon followed by all kinds of heroic female Transformers. Sure enough, a group of evil female Transformers then showed up to kidnap Tigatron, but Chromia picked him up and kept him safe during the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 11|Bonus Edition Vol. 11}}

During [[Halloween]], Alpha Trion summoned the real Chromia into the Legends Universe to help stop [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s latest grab for energy. Dressed up as a bunny girl, she confronted Megatron and his underlings alongside Arcee and [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], though she was confused and embarrassed as to why it being Halloween meant she had to dress like that. The three were then defeated and tied up by [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], but it turned out the Decepticons hadn't gotten any energy anyway. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 17|Bonus Edition Vol. 17}} Tigatron later had another dream of Chromia in which she explained that her new body was the result of changing armor parts, displayed her new altmode and ability to fly, and traded armors with Arcee. {{Storylink|Transformers Legends: Chromia Chapter|Chromia Chapter}} Chromia later swooned over the [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] from her home universe when he crossed over to the Legends Universe. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}} Chromia and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] were tied up by [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] during his mission to send all interdimensional visitors to the Legends Universe back to where they came from, though he eventually gave up and allowed them to stay. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 20|Bonus Edition Vol. 20}}

While acting as cheerleaders at a soccer game for whatever reason, Chromia and the other girls found themselves being harassed by [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 29|Bonus Edition Vol. 29}} After [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] was sold off to the [[Tera-Kura Co.|Decepticon Tera-Kura Co.]], Chromia joined the Decepticon organization so that she could remain with the city-bot. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 31|Bonus Edition Vol. 31}} As Alpha Trion had done the same, she was near him when he was looking for his [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 33|Bonus Edition Vol. 33}} As an office worker she wore a snazzy suit, though [[Apeface]] ripped it to pieces while displaying his telekinetic powers. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 38|Bonus Edition Vol. 38}} She later started taking [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]'s new commuter service to work, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}} and was exasperated with Alpha Trion when he lost his drill again. {{storylink|LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter}}

To gather energy for the energy-sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Chromia was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed. Soon after, as their current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Chromia joined her comrades still on the planet in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

Chromia was a member of an elite squad of five warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s.

Chromia and the others waited patiently for her to signal that they could follow. Chromia joined her commander soon after it came. With only [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] still to get through the portal, the group was attacked by [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], but [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] and Elita One took care of that. While the rest of the team went further into the Autobot facility, Chromia was sent back to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] with an unconscious [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}

===Descent into Evil===
[[File:Chromia-DIE.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Just off-panel: Virulent Clone with apple on head.]]
Chromia and her ward [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] were part of an Autobot strike force tasked with destroying the [[Decepticon]] general [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]' cloning lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]]. Although the pair had handily beaten Deathsaurus's [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] underling [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]] on [[Regulon Four]] some time previous, they were taken by surprise by the first production run of clones. Although Chromia fought effectively against the clones, she was no match for Deathsaurus himself when he entered the battle personally. Falling before the general's might, she was taken captive.

Chromia, along with her teammates ''and'' the backup team of Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], was ultimately rescued when [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], who had evaded capture, came to the rescue of the entire Autobot party. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}

One erroneous account presented Chromia as a Cybertronian, who was among those attended [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]]'s funeral. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} However, every other account shows that Chromia was born from the hot spot contained in the [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] [[Caminus]], a distant colony that was cut off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] long before the war and whose citizens retained differentiated genders. Her people's isolation ended with the arrival of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], who had come seeking help from a [[Cityspeaker]] in order to aid [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. The chosen Cityspeaker, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], needed a bodyguard, however, and so Chromia (and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]]) were enlisted. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City|A Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|If I Know You}} The three joined the crew of the ''[[Vis Vitalis]]'' shortly before it crossed paths with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. The legendary Autobot was preoccupied with an important quest, so the three volunteered to watch after Metroplex for him and keep him alive. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Under their watch, Metroplex's insides were besieged with invaders, so Chromia and Nautica hunted them down to confront them and fight them off, if necessary. They found a small group of robots and Chromia threatened to put the hurt down on them. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}}

Their adversaries turned out to be fellow Autobots from the ''[[Lost Light]]'' who were battling an army of angered [[Ammonite]]s. Chromia and Nautica led them back to their boss, Windblade, who explained their mission, and subsequently the ''Lost Light'' was able to give Metroplex a jump, allowing him to [[space bridge|spacebridge]] back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} On arrival, they couldn't do much but hang on tight within Metroplex as the city-bot did battle with the [[Necrotitan]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Following Metroplex's victory, Chromia and her pals got to mingle with the locals, including another female Autobot named [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} When [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]'s army of Ammonites invaded Cybertron, the three Camiens returned to Metroplex to convince him to fight the invaders. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Toward the end of the battle, [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] contacted Chromia to let them to know the ''Lost Light'' was about to ram [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], though she got frustrated by the vague, dramatic way he phrased it. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}

Chromia accompanied Nautica to her audition to join the crew of the ''Lost Light'', helping out by keeping her friend's rambling to a minimum. Chromia and Windblade later attended [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]'s trial. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} The pair went to find cover when a group of Decepticons disrupted proceedings with the intent to rescue the defendant. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}}

Six months later, Chromia had stayed behind on Cybertron in order to protect and train Windblade as she performed her role as Metroplex's Cityspeaker. She was highly untrusting of Cybertron's elected ruler, [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]], though Windblade preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt. When Windblade sought advice on how to best interact with Starscream, Chromia scoffed at Windblade's choice of talking to the "mopey" [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]], but was visibly upset when Windblade teased her about telling Ironhide she described him as such. Later, Chromia accompanied Windblade as the pair investigated an area of the city that might reveal why Metroplex was suffering blackouts, and at the end of the day Chromia insisted they not over-exert themselves and reconvene in the morning. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} Chromia planted a bomb near where they'd be, in an attempt to make Windblade return to Caminus. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} In the morning, when she and Windblade returned to the area, the bomb exploded, damaging Windblade. Chromia dragged her to medical care. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}}

[[File:Windblade3-altmodes.jpg|left|thumb|180px|No, it's true, they actually elected Starscream.]]
Chromia was guarding Windblade when Starscream paid her a visit, and afterwards encouraged Windblade to pursue the idea that Starscream was behind the bomb. Enlisting Ironhide's help, they followed up a lead in the form of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] whom Chromia had to physically tackle when he tried to run. Chromia stayed in [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]'s bar while Windblade went with Waspinator. After Windblade discovered Starscream was trying to mine ore from Metroplex, Chromia joined a team that went down to investigate. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} They were attacked by the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and Chromia went instinctively to Windblade's aid, eventually managing to avoid being arrested when Starscream and Rattrap arrived. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}} She arranged for Metroplex's spacebridge to activate, {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} and organized a jail break, successfully springing Windblade and the others. As they headed for Metroplex, Windblade revealed that she believed Starscream wasn't behind the bomb. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}}

The pair rushed to Metroplex, where Chromia insisted Windblade merge with the Titan's mind. She fought with Starscream when he arrived, but he managed to injure Windblade and sliced off Chromia's right arm. Windblade, merged with Metroplex, was able to subdue him with the Titan's internal defenses and revealed she'd discovered Chromia was behind the bomb. Though Chromia encouraged Windblade to make Metroplex jump back to Caminus, Windblade instead opted to shut the spacebridge down in favor of making a deal with Starscream. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}

She was among the group present when [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Wheeljack]] was brought back online, though she wasn't as enthusiastic about the event when she observed how happy Starscream was. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} Chromia then participated in the violent arrest of the [[Firecon]]s, primary suspects in a series of murders, {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} and was present when they were locked up. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}}

[[File:AllThatRemains-ChromiaHasHadEnough.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]

Chromia and Ironhide found Windblade and Optimus Prime being attacked by Decepticons and Chromia managed to stop the fight through sheer force of intimidation. They retired to Metroplex to contemplate the spacebridge, now linked to Caminus. Optimus ordered Chromia and Ironhide to guard the portal; however they were unable to prevent [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] from taking [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] through. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} They headed through the portal with Starscream's forces and attacked Menasor. The giant briefly held Chromia in his fist until she broke free. In the end, the battle was decided when [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] joined in. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Chromia was taking part in the subsequent cleanup on Caminus when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] arrived and started smashing more things. As the giant started trying to smash the spacebridge, Chromia rallied those present to fight him until Superion and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] defeated him. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} As Starscream returned to Cybertron, Chromia went with him to make sure no one started shooting. She was later back on Caminus when Menasor again went through the spacebridge and started fighting with the combiners already there. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} As a combiner incorporating Optimus joined the fight, Chromia led a group back through to Cybertron to help prevent the Decepticons there from attacking Caminus. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

[[File:AnUneventfulNight-ChromiaVsArcee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|''Prime'' Arcee vs. G1 Arcee.]]

Windblade and Chromia were returning to Cybertron through the spacebridge while Optimus communicated with [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} To celebrate the union between Cybertron and Caminus, the Mistress of Flame declared an official holiday that saw Chromia temporarily don some Cityspeaker-style face paint for the occasion. While she was guarding the [[Enigma of Combination]] with a [[Badgeless]], Arcee stole the artifact. Chromia and Windblade pursued her into the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] where their confrontation was interrupted by the [[Torchbearer]]s. After the Torchbearers were merged into [[Victorion]], the trio fought to survive the giant's onslaught until Windblade managed to talk the giant into separating. Chromia later returned the Enigma and resumed guarding it. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}

She and Windblade interceded in a quarrel between visiting Camiens and Decepticons, though Chromia was a little too aggressive with the Decepticons. Windblade left her to finish sorting things out. She later joined Windblade, Ironhide, and Blurr for a trip to [[Velocitron]], where they found themselves in the path of [[Delta]], a city fleeing a wall of fire. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} Chromia managed to encourage Ironhide into safely making it onto the city by staying by his side. She accompanied Windblade and [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]] to inspect [[Navitas]], the Titan on which the city was built, and stood by as Windblade talked to the Titan directly. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}}

[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-secondchances.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]

When Windblade returned disappointed from [[Eukaris]] following the death of [[Chela]], Chromia believed she'd done her best to save the Titan. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Following the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], Starscream declared [[Chosen One Day]], a new holiday. Windblade hugged Chromia and forgave her for past discretions...if only for a night. {{storylink|Choose Me}}

Chromia, Ironhide, and Windblade helped re-secure the spacebridge nexus after a gaggle of Decepticons stormed it. Chromia was present when Optimus Prime used the bridge to go to Earth and annex it in advance of [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]'s invasion. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} Shortly after taking this drastic step, Optimus had a nightmare where he saw Windblade and Chromia bowing down before him. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} The real Chromia, meanwhile, had gone off to attend an emergency Council meeting to discuss this problem. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

[[File:TheLineBetweenUs-ChromiaGoesToJail.jpg|thumb|left|180px]]

The uneasy peace on Cybertron was growing increasingly threatened by the distrust of the Badgeless, and compounded by a spree of [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on several Decepticons within Iacon, including a supplier of parts to [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the issue. When the meeting was adjourned, Chromia went off to spar with [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Tensions boiled over after the suspicious death of [[Drunkatron|a disgruntled Decepticon]], and Chromia participated in a Council meeting that saw Ironhide step up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

Shortly after [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] reawoke, Chromia was walking around in the Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} On learning that Windblade was being forced to help Starscream because he knew of Chromia's actions in bombing Acrolight, Chromia took over decoding security footage related to Swindle's death and discovered the Decepticon's body had been taken by Wheeljack and Rattrap. She visited Wheeljack, only for the pair of them to be taken prisoner by the rest of the Combaticons, who forced Wheeljack to lead them to Swindle's brain-dead body. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} After the Combaticons used the Enigma to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Chromia worked with Windblade to talk the Combaticons down, however Ironhide took matters into his own hands and blasted Bruticus. In the aftermath, Chromia coopted [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]]'s broadcast to make a public confession of her actions in Acrolight, and was arrested by Ironhide. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

Chromia being in prison was later one of the factors Windblade mentioned that had demoralized her. {{storylink|Ping}} When a fleet of undead Titans arrived to destroy Cybertron (as they do), Chromia was marched onto a prison ship when Starscream gave the evacuation order. She broke the prison line to speak to Ironhide about Metroplex being felled and urged him to help Windblade who was doubtlessly with the Titan. Ironhide said Windblade was at the [[Spire]] (and he was right) and there was no need to worry but Chromia was convinced that without Ironhide, Windblade would do something stupid (she was also right). {{storylink|Desperate Times}}

Said stupid thing turned out to be releasing [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. When the evil Titan made planetfall, Chromia rushed back to Ironhide to try and find Windblade, only for the irritable warden to grab her and stuff her in a prison cell to be killed by the undead. However, Metroplex managed to release her and direct her to Windblade's location with Carcer so she could free her friend. Chromia rushed to the Titan and scaled up his body, breaching his body and arriving at his [[Brain module|brain module]] just as [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] had blown it into chunks, seemingly killing Windblade. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

Chromia was subsequently put back into prison and set to be tried for crimes against Cybertron. The [[Mistress of Flame]] attempted to get Starscream to turn Chromia over to her but when Starscream refused, she demanded Swindle and Menasor in exchange. The ghost of Bumblebee urged Starscream to hand over Chromia. Starscream instead opted to free Chromia and turn her into a hit-bot to hunt down and kill [[Liege Maximo]], offering her a pardon in exchange, as well as saying he'd lost his own chance to be better, telling Chromia not to waste hers. {{storylink|Heavy}} Starscream and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] provided Chromia with a ship and crew while the Camien herself recorded a goodbye message for Windblade, encouraging her friend to stay strong while she was away. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Bumblebee was very pleased at Chromia's freedom. Starscream countered that Chromia's release had ulterior motives. {{storylink|The Price of You}} When Vigilem examined Windblade's life, he saw Chromia's first meeting with Windblade. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

Liege Maximo did eventually return to Cybertron but as a prisoner of [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] instead of Chromia. Now the ruler of Cybertron, Windblade asked whether Onyx had encountered Chromia or her team. Onyx chose to ignore the question and grill [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}

She has multiple clear-plastic "[[energon]]" parts that form side-thrusters in bike mode, and combine to form a massive compound bow with a spring-loaded missile.

: The toy was originally intended to be [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]], but [[Fun Publications]] could not secure the [[trademark]] on the name. As such, Chromia's toy is in Moonracer's teal and white colors and has a head that resembles Moonracer's. (Fun Publications' intent was for the head to be a compromise between the Moonracer and Firestar head designs.)<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/e39fbfb4b4bd2b3a alt.toys.transformers post] by [[Lanny Lathem]] explaining the Moonracer/Chromia SNAFU.</ref><ref>[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/timelines/descent/chromia Chromia toy notes at BWTF.com]</ref> Later Fun Publications stories would [[repurposing|repurpose]] the Chromia toy as Moonracer.

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations:]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' Chromia is a heavy [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Arcee (WFC)#Prime|Arcee]], transforming into a Cybertronian motorbike. Her blaster weapon can be mounted on the bottom of her bike mode. Originally scheduled for March 2014 along with [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]], Chromia was delayed to fall of that year and ultimately not released until December.

:Hasbro's [[:File:Generations Chromia stock photo edited.jpg|original stock photo for the figure]] depicting a hand-painted prototype (which is also featured on the back of the toy's packaging) showed her holding one of her [[wave]]-mate Arcee's guns along with her own. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the weapon's design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee's other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia. A [[:File:Generations Chromia Second Stock Photo.jpg|different version of the stock photo]] was released in November 2014 on the official ''Transformers'' Facebook page, with the extra gun edited out. Some specimens of Chromia also feature a sticker on the back of the packaging that says "Additional weapon not included."

: The original version of this sculpt was also used to make [[BotCon 2014]] [[Flareup (G1)#BotCon2014|Flareup]], and was ''differently'' retooled to make ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Arcee (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Arcee]]. This version of the mold served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' version of [[Blackarachnia (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Blackarachnia]].

:The ''Combiner Hunters'' [[redeco]] of Chromia not only has many of her coloring details changed, but in fact mostly stands out for its new accessory: a huge [[Primeon Blade]] sword. The tooling for this weapon was originally used for the 16"-tall electronic version of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' ''[[Titan Heroes]]'' [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#ETitan|Optimus Prime]].

:This version of Chromia was only available in a [[giftset|gift set]] together with ''Combiner Hunters'' redecos of ''Generations'' [[Arcee (G1)/toys#CHunters|Arcee]] and [[Windblade (G1)#CHunters|Windblade]], each with their own giant new melee weapons.

==Notes==
*Though other female Transformers may be more well known, Chromia holds the distinction of being the first female Transformer to appear in ANY media. She's the first of the Female Autobots to appear on screen in "The Search for Alpha Trion".
*Though the first to appear in any media, [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]] was the first female Autobot to receive a toy, and [[Freezon]] the first female Transformer to receive one (though due to a retcon). That being said, Chromia finally did get a toy as a Botcon exclusive 20 years after her debut, and a mass-released figure in the ''Generations'' line 29 years after her debut.

'''Chromia''' is a soldier under the command of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] and seems to function as a second-in-command for her, leading the rest of [[Female Autobots|the team]] when Elita's not around. She's brave, hard as nails and, not surprisingly, in a relationship with [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. She has also taken over from [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] as [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]]'s mentor when the latter turned out to be better suited to more offense-oriented tasks.

Four million years ago, Chromia tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One's team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.

[[File:Femaleautobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Okay, Firestar, you go out long, Greenlight, you keep back for defense, and Moonracer, try not to trip or something."]]

Chromia led a mission to steal [[energon cube]]s from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. When [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] got trapped after disobeying orders, Chromia confronted the alerted Shockwave and managed to trick him into freeing Moonracer.

Shortly thereafter, a team of [[Decepticon]]s from [[Earth]] came to capture Elita One. In doing so, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroyed the Female Autobots' underground base, trapping them inside. When they managed to free themselves, Chromia took charge of the search for their missing leader. On their way, they met up with a group of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Chromia was reunited with [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]. The two teams together fought the Decepticons, eventually winning when Optimus and Elita returned. Given a new base by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Chromia stayed with Elita's squad on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when Optimus' team returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

Sure enough, a group of evil female Transformers then showed up to kidnap Tigatron, but Chromia picked him up and kept him safe during the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 11|Bonus Edition Vol. 11}}

During [[Halloween]], Alpha Trion summoned the real Chromia into the Legends Universe to help stop [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s latest grab for energy.

To gather energy for the energy-sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Chromia was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed.

Chromia and her ward [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] were part of an Autobot strike force tasked with destroying the [[Decepticon]] general [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]' cloning lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]]. Although the pair had handily beaten Deathsaurus's [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] underling [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]] on [[Regulon Four]] some time previous, they were taken by surprise by the first production run of clones. Although Chromia fought effectively against the clones, she was no match for Deathsaurus himself when he entered the battle personally. Falling before the general's might, she was taken captive.

Chromia, along with her teammates ''and'' the backup team of Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], was ultimately rescued when [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], who had evaded capture, came to the rescue of the entire Autobot party. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}

Her people's isolation ended with the arrival of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], who had come seeking help from a [[Cityspeaker]] in order to aid [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. The chosen Cityspeaker, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], needed a bodyguard, however, and so Chromia (and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]]) were enlisted. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City|A Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|If I Know You}} The three joined the crew of the ''[[Vis Vitalis]]'' shortly before it crossed paths with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. The legendary Autobot was preoccupied with an important quest, so the three volunteered to watch after Metroplex for him and keep him alive. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Under their watch, Metroplex's insides were besieged with invaders, so Chromia and Nautica hunted them down to confront them and fight them off, if necessary. They found a small group of robots and Chromia threatened to put the hurt down on them. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}}

Their adversaries turned out to be fellow Autobots from the ''[[Lost Light]]'' who were battling an army of angered [[Ammonite]]s. Chromia and Nautica led them back to their boss, Windblade, who explained their mission, and subsequently the ''Lost Light'' was able to give Metroplex a jump, allowing him to [[space bridge|spacebridge]] back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} On arrival, they couldn't do much but hang on tight within Metroplex as the city-bot did battle with the [[Necrotitan]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Following Metroplex's victory, Chromia and her pals got to mingle with the locals, including another female Autobot named [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} When [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]'s army of Ammonites invaded Cybertron, the three Camiens returned to Metroplex to convince him to fight the invaders. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Toward the end of the battle, [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] contacted Chromia to let them to know the ''Lost Light'' was about to ram [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], though she got frustrated by the vague, dramatic way he phrased it. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}

Chromia accompanied Nautica to her audition to join the crew of the ''Lost Light'', helping out by keeping her friend's rambling to a minimum. Chromia and Windblade later attended [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]'s trial. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} The pair went to find cover when a group of Decepticons disrupted proceedings with the intent to rescue the defendant. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}}

[[File:BotAndHerCity-nottechnicallydawn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot.]]

Six months later, Chromia had stayed behind on Cybertron in order to protect and train Windblade as she performed her role as Metroplex's Cityspeaker. She was highly untrusting of Cybertron's elected ruler, [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]], though Windblade preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt. When Windblade sought advice on how to best interact with Starscream, Chromia scoffed at Windblade's choice of talking to the "mopey" [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]], but was visibly upset when Windblade teased her about telling Ironhide she described him as such. Later, Chromia accompanied Windblade as the pair investigated an area of the city that might reveal why Metroplex was suffering blackouts, and at the end of the day Chromia insisted they not over-exert themselves and reconvene in the morning. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} Chromia planted a bomb near where they'd be, in an attempt to make Windblade return to Caminus. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} In the morning, when she and Windblade returned to the area, the bomb exploded, damaging Windblade. Chromia dragged her to medical care. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}}

[[File:Windblade3-altmodes.jpg|left|thumb|180px|No, it's true, they actually elected Starscream.]]
Chromia was guarding Windblade when Starscream paid her a visit, and afterwards encouraged Windblade to pursue the idea that Starscream was behind the bomb. Enlisting Ironhide's help, they followed up a lead in the form of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] whom Chromia had to physically tackle when he tried to run. Chromia stayed in [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]'s bar while Windblade went with Waspinator. After Windblade discovered Starscream was trying to mine ore from Metroplex, Chromia joined a team that went down to investigate. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} They were attacked by the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and Chromia went instinctively to Windblade's aid, eventually managing to avoid being arrested when Starscream and Rattrap arrived. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}} She arranged for Metroplex's spacebridge to activate, {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} and organized a jail break, successfully springing Windblade and the others. As they headed for Metroplex, Windblade revealed that she believed Starscream wasn't behind the bomb. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}}

The pair rushed to Metroplex, where Chromia insisted Windblade merge with the Titan's mind. She fought with Starscream when he arrived, but he managed to injure Windblade and sliced off Chromia's right arm. Windblade, merged with Metroplex, was able to subdue him with the Titan's internal defenses and revealed she'd discovered Chromia was behind the bomb. Though Chromia encouraged Windblade to make Metroplex jump back to Caminus, Windblade instead opted to shut the spacebridge down in favor of making a deal with Starscream. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}

She was among the group present when [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Wheeljack]] was brought back online, though she wasn't as enthusiastic about the event when she observed how happy Starscream was. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} Chromia then participated in the violent arrest of the [[Firecon]]s, primary suspects in a series of murders, {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} and was present when they were locked up. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}}

[[File:AllThatRemains-ChromiaHasHadEnough.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]

Chromia and Ironhide found Windblade and Optimus Prime being attacked by Decepticons and Chromia managed to stop the fight through sheer force of intimidation. They retired to Metroplex to contemplate the spacebridge, now linked to Caminus. Optimus ordered Chromia and Ironhide to guard the portal; however they were unable to prevent [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] from taking [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] through. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} They headed through the portal with Starscream's forces and attacked Menasor. The giant briefly held Chromia in his fist until she broke free. In the end, the battle was decided when [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] joined in. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Chromia was taking part in the subsequent cleanup on Caminus when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] arrived and started smashing more things. As the giant started trying to smash the spacebridge, Chromia rallied those present to fight him until Superion and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] defeated him. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} As Starscream returned to Cybertron, Chromia went with him to make sure no one started shooting. She was later back on Caminus when Menasor again went through the spacebridge and started fighting with the combiners already there. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} As a combiner incorporating Optimus joined the fight, Chromia led a group back through to Cybertron to help prevent the Decepticons there from attacking Caminus. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

[[File:AnUneventfulNight-ChromiaVsArcee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|''Prime'' Arcee vs. G1 Arcee.]]

Windblade and Chromia were returning to Cybertron through the spacebridge while Optimus communicated with [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} To celebrate the union between Cybertron and Caminus, the Mistress of Flame declared an official holiday that saw Chromia temporarily don some Cityspeaker-style face paint for the occasion. While she was guarding the [[Enigma of Combination]] with a [[Badgeless]], Arcee stole the artifact. Chromia and Windblade pursued her into the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] where their confrontation was interrupted by the [[Torchbearer]]s. After the Torchbearers were merged into [[Victorion]], the trio fought to survive the giant's onslaught until Windblade managed to talk the giant into separating. Chromia later returned the Enigma and resumed guarding it. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}

She and Windblade interceded in a quarrel between visiting Camiens and Decepticons, though Chromia was a little too aggressive with the Decepticons. Windblade left her to finish sorting things out. She later joined Windblade, Ironhide, and Blurr for a trip to [[Velocitron]], where they found themselves in the path of [[Delta]], a city fleeing a wall of fire. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} Chromia managed to encourage Ironhide into safely making it onto the city by staying by his side. She accompanied Windblade and [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]] to inspect [[Navitas]], the Titan on which the city was built, and stood by as Windblade talked to the Titan directly. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}}

[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-secondchances.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]

When Windblade returned disappointed from [[Eukaris]] following the death of [[Chela]], Chromia believed she'd done her best to save the Titan. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Following the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], Starscream declared [[Chosen One Day]], a new holiday. Windblade hugged Chromia and forgave her for past discretions...if only for a night. {{storylink|Choose Me}}

Chromia, Ironhide, and Windblade helped re-secure the spacebridge nexus after a gaggle of Decepticons stormed it. Chromia was present when Optimus Prime used the bridge to go to Earth and annex it in advance of [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]'s invasion. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} Shortly after taking this drastic step, Optimus had a nightmare where he saw Windblade and Chromia bowing down before him. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} The real Chromia, meanwhile, had gone off to attend an emergency Council meeting to discuss this problem. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

[[File:TheLineBetweenUs-ChromiaGoesToJail.jpg|thumb|left|180px]]

The uneasy peace on Cybertron was growing increasingly threatened by the distrust of the Badgeless, and compounded by a spree of [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on several Decepticons within Iacon, including a supplier of parts to [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the issue. When the meeting was adjourned, Chromia went off to spar with [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Tensions boiled over after the suspicious death of [[Drunkatron|a disgruntled Decepticon]], and Chromia participated in a Council meeting that saw Ironhide step up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

Shortly after [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] reawoke, Chromia was walking around in the Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} On learning that Windblade was being forced to help Starscream because he knew of Chromia's actions in bombing Acrolight, Chromia took over decoding security footage related to Swindle's death and discovered the Decepticon's body had been taken by Wheeljack and Rattrap. She visited Wheeljack, only for the pair of them to be taken prisoner by the rest of the Combaticons, who forced Wheeljack to lead them to Swindle's brain-dead body. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} After the Combaticons used the Enigma to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Chromia worked with Windblade to talk the Combaticons down, however Ironhide took matters into his own hands and blasted Bruticus. In the aftermath, Chromia coopted [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]]'s broadcast to make a public confession of her actions in Acrolight, and was arrested by Ironhide. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

Chromia being in prison was later one of the factors Windblade mentioned that had demoralized her. {{storylink|Ping}} When a fleet of undead Titans arrived to destroy Cybertron (as they do), Chromia was marched onto a prison ship when Starscream gave the evacuation order. She broke the prison line to speak to Ironhide about Metroplex being felled and urged him to help Windblade who was doubtlessly with the Titan. Ironhide said Windblade was at the [[Spire]] (and he was right) and there was no need to worry but Chromia was convinced that without Ironhide, Windblade would do something stupid (she was also right). {{storylink|Desperate Times}}

Said stupid thing turned out to be releasing [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. When the evil Titan made planetfall, Chromia rushed back to Ironhide to try and find Windblade, only for the irritable warden to grab her and stuff her in a prison cell to be killed by the undead. However, Metroplex managed to release her and direct her to Windblade's location with Carcer so she could free her friend. Chromia rushed to the Titan and scaled up his body, breaching his body and arriving at his [[Brain module|brain module]] just as [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] had blown it into chunks, seemingly killing Windblade. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

Chromia was subsequently put back into prison and set to be tried for crimes against Cybertron. The [[Mistress of Flame]] attempted to get Starscream to turn Chromia over to her but when Starscream refused, she demanded Swindle and Menasor in exchange. The ghost of Bumblebee urged Starscream to hand over Chromia. Starscream instead opted to free Chromia and turn her into a hit-bot to hunt down and kill [[Liege Maximo]], offering her a pardon in exchange, as well as saying he'd lost his own chance to be better, telling Chromia not to waste hers. {{storylink|Heavy}} Starscream and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] provided Chromia with a ship and crew while the Camien herself recorded a goodbye message for Windblade, encouraging her friend to stay strong while she was away. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Bumblebee was very pleased at Chromia's freedom. Starscream countered that Chromia's release had ulterior motives. {{storylink|The Price of You}} When Vigilem examined Windblade's life, he saw Chromia's first meeting with Windblade. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

Liege Maximo did eventually return to Cybertron but as a prisoner of [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] instead of Chromia. Now the ruler of Cybertron, Windblade asked whether Onyx had encountered Chromia or her team. Onyx chose to ignore the question and grill [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}

: The toy was originally intended to be [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]], but [[Fun Publications]] could not secure the [[trademark]] on the name. As such, Chromia's toy is in Moonracer's teal and white colors and has a head that resembles Moonracer's. (Fun Publications' intent was for the head to be a compromise between the Moonracer and Firestar head designs.)<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/e39fbfb4b4bd2b3a alt.toys.transformers post] by [[Lanny Lathem]] explaining the Moonracer/Chromia SNAFU.</ref><ref>[http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/timelines/descent/chromia Chromia toy notes at BWTF.com]</ref> Later Fun Publications stories would [[repurposing|repurpose]] the Chromia toy as Moonracer.

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations:]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' Chromia is a heavy [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Arcee (WFC)#Prime|Arcee]], transforming into a Cybertronian motorbike. Her blaster weapon can be mounted on the bottom of her bike mode. Originally scheduled for March 2014 along with [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]], Chromia was delayed to fall of that year and ultimately not released until December.

:Hasbro's [[:File:Generations Chromia stock photo edited.jpg|original stock photo for the figure]] depicting a hand-painted prototype (which is also featured on the back of the toy's packaging) showed her holding one of her [[wave]]-mate Arcee's guns along with her own. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the weapon's design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee's other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia. A [[:File:Generations Chromia Second Stock Photo.jpg|different version of the stock photo]] was released in November 2014 on the official ''Transformers'' Facebook page, with the extra gun edited out. Some specimens of Chromia also feature a sticker on the back of the packaging that says "Additional weapon not included."

: The original version of this sculpt was also used to make [[BotCon 2014]] [[Flareup (G1)#BotCon2014|Flareup]], and was ''differently'' retooled to make ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Arcee (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Arcee]]. This version of the mold served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' version of [[Blackarachnia (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Blackarachnia]].

:This version of Chromia was only available in a [[giftset|gift set]] together with ''Combiner Hunters'' redecos of ''Generations'' [[Arcee (G1)/toys#CHunters|Arcee]] and [[Windblade (G1)#CHunters|Windblade]], each with their own giant new melee weapons.

*Though other female Transformers may be more well known, Chromia holds the distinction of being the first female Transformer to appear in ANY media. She's the first of the Female Autobots to appear on screen in "The Search for Alpha Trion".
*Though the first to appear in any media, [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]] was the first female Autobot to receive a toy, and [[Freezon]] the first female Transformer to receive one (though due to a retcon). That being said, Chromia finally did get a toy as a Botcon exclusive 20 years after her debut, and a mass-released figure in the ''Generations'' line 29 years after her debut.

'''Chromia''' is a soldier under the command of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] and seems to function as a second-in-command for her, leading the rest of [[Female Autobots|the team]] when Elita's not around. She's brave, hard as nails and, not surprisingly, in a relationship with [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]. She has also taken over from [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] as [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]]'s mentor when the latter turned out to be better suited to more offense-oriented tasks.

[[File:TSFAT Chromia vehicle.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Cybertronic soccer mom.]]
Four million years ago, Chromia tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One's team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.

[[File:Femaleautobots.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"Okay, Firestar, you go out long, Greenlight, you keep back for defense, and Moonracer, try not to trip or something."]]

Chromia led a mission to steal [[energon cube]]s from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. When [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] got trapped after disobeying orders, Chromia confronted the alerted Shockwave and managed to trick him into freeing Moonracer.

Shortly thereafter, a team of [[Decepticon]]s from [[Earth]] came to capture Elita One. In doing so, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] destroyed the Female Autobots' underground base, trapping them inside. When they managed to free themselves, Chromia took charge of the search for their missing leader. On their way, they met up with a group of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and Chromia was reunited with [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]. The two teams together fought the Decepticons, eventually winning when Optimus and Elita returned. Given a new base by [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], Chromia stayed with Elita's squad on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when Optimus' team returned to Earth. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

[[Tigatron]] of the [[Legends World]] had a dream in which Chromia appeared before him and warned him he was in danger, soon followed by all kinds of heroic female Transformers. Sure enough, a group of evil female Transformers then showed up to kidnap Tigatron, but Chromia picked him up and kept him safe during the ensuing battle. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 11|Bonus Edition Vol. 11}}

[[File:Battlelines6-femaleautobotsandsideburn.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Welp, got left behind, time for a nap.]]
To gather energy for the energy-sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Chromia was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed. Soon after, as their current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Chromia joined her comrades still on the planet in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
{{Unreleased DW G1 comic}}

Chromia was a member of an elite squad of five warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s. [[The Route of All Evil|Following a report]] from their Autobot sleeper agent, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], that the awaited situation to commence their mission had come, [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] used a [[space bridge]] to get to the [[Autobase]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Chromia and the others waited patiently for her to signal that they could follow. Chromia joined her commander soon after it came. With only [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] still to get through the portal, the group was attacked by [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], but [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]] and Elita One took care of that. While the rest of the team went further into the Autobot facility, Chromia was sent back to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] with an unconscious [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}

===Descent into Evil===
[[File:Chromia-DIE.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Just off-panel: Virulent Clone with apple on head.]]
Chromia and her ward [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]] were part of an Autobot strike force tasked with destroying the [[Decepticon]] general [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]' cloning lab on [[Ceti Alpha Seven]]. Although the pair had handily beaten Deathsaurus's [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] underling [[Buzzclaw (G1)|Buzzclaw]] on [[Regulon Four]] some time previous, they were taken by surprise by the first production run of clones. Although Chromia fought effectively against the clones, she was no match for Deathsaurus himself when he entered the battle personally. Falling before the general's might, she was taken captive.

Chromia, along with her teammates ''and'' the backup team of Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]], was ultimately rescued when [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]], who had evaded capture, came to the rescue of the entire Autobot party. {{storylink|Descent into Evil}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3]] (apocryphal); [[The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|Transformers: Robots in Disguise #25]]

[[File:DarkCybertron7 Chromia.jpg|thumb|left|180px]]
One erroneous account presented Chromia as a Cybertronian, who was among those attended [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]]'s funeral. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} However, every other account shows that Chromia was born from the hot spot contained in the [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] [[Caminus]], a distant colony that was cut off from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] long before the war and whose citizens retained differentiated genders. Her people's isolation ended with the arrival of [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], who had come seeking help from a [[Cityspeaker]] in order to aid [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. The chosen Cityspeaker, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]], needed a bodyguard, however, and so Chromia (and [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]]) were enlisted. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City|A Bot and Her City}} {{storylink|If I Know You}} The three joined the crew of the ''[[Vis Vitalis]]'' shortly before it crossed paths with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]]. The legendary Autobot was preoccupied with an important quest, so the three volunteered to watch after Metroplex for him and keep him alive. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} Under their watch, Metroplex's insides were besieged with invaders, so Chromia and Nautica hunted them down to confront them and fight them off, if necessary. They found a small group of robots and Chromia threatened to put the hurt down on them. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}}

Their adversaries turned out to be fellow Autobots from the ''[[Lost Light]]'' who were battling an army of angered [[Ammonite]]s. Chromia and Nautica led them back to their boss, Windblade, who explained their mission, and subsequently the ''Lost Light'' was able to give Metroplex a jump, allowing him to [[space bridge|spacebridge]] back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Burning Bright: Dark Cybertron Chapter 8|Burning Bright}} On arrival, they couldn't do much but hang on tight within Metroplex as the city-bot did battle with the [[Necrotitan]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Following Metroplex's victory, Chromia and her pals got to mingle with the locals, including another female Autobot named [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} When [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]]'s army of Ammonites invaded Cybertron, the three Camiens returned to Metroplex to convince him to fight the invaders. {{storylink|Black Planet: Dark Cybertron Chapter 11|Black Planet}} Toward the end of the battle, [[Mainframe (G1)|Mainframe]] contacted Chromia to let them to know the ''Lost Light'' was about to ram [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], though she got frustrated by the vague, dramatic way he phrased it. {{storylink|...And the Damage Done: Dark Cybertron Finale|...And the Damage Done}}

Chromia accompanied Nautica to her audition to join the crew of the ''Lost Light'', helping out by keeping her friend's rambling to a minimum. Chromia and Windblade later attended [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]'s trial. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} The pair went to find cover when a group of Decepticons disrupted proceedings with the intent to rescue the defendant. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}}

[[File:BotAndHerCity-nottechnicallydawn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot.]]

Six months later, Chromia had stayed behind on Cybertron in order to protect and train Windblade as she performed her role as Metroplex's Cityspeaker. She was highly untrusting of Cybertron's elected ruler, [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]], though Windblade preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt. When Windblade sought advice on how to best interact with Starscream, Chromia scoffed at Windblade's choice of talking to the "mopey" [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]], but was visibly upset when Windblade teased her about telling Ironhide she described him as such. Later, Chromia accompanied Windblade as the pair investigated an area of the city that might reveal why Metroplex was suffering blackouts, and at the end of the day Chromia insisted they not over-exert themselves and reconvene in the morning. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}} Chromia planted a bomb near where they'd be, in an attempt to make Windblade return to Caminus. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} In the morning, when she and Windblade returned to the area, the bomb exploded, damaging Windblade. Chromia dragged her to medical care. {{storylink|A 'Bot and Her City}}

[[File:Windblade3-altmodes.jpg|left|thumb|180px|No, it's true, they actually elected Starscream.]]
Chromia was guarding Windblade when Starscream paid her a visit, and afterwards encouraged Windblade to pursue the idea that Starscream was behind the bomb. Enlisting Ironhide's help, they followed up a lead in the form of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]] whom Chromia had to physically tackle when he tried to run. Chromia stayed in [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]]'s bar while Windblade went with Waspinator. After Windblade discovered Starscream was trying to mine ore from Metroplex, Chromia joined a team that went down to investigate. {{storylink|A Long Way Down}} They were attacked by the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and Chromia went instinctively to Windblade's aid, eventually managing to avoid being arrested when Starscream and Rattrap arrived. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}} She arranged for Metroplex's spacebridge to activate, {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}} and organized a jail break, successfully springing Windblade and the others. As they headed for Metroplex, Windblade revealed that she believed Starscream wasn't behind the bomb. {{storylink|Windblade issue 3|Windblade vol. 1 #3}}

The pair rushed to Metroplex, where Chromia insisted Windblade merge with the Titan's mind. She fought with Starscream when he arrived, but he managed to injure Windblade and sliced off Chromia's right arm. Windblade, merged with Metroplex, was able to subdue him with the Titan's internal defenses and revealed she'd discovered Chromia was behind the bomb. Though Chromia encouraged Windblade to make Metroplex jump back to Caminus, Windblade instead opted to shut the spacebridge down in favor of making a deal with Starscream. {{storylink|Windblade issue 4|Windblade vol. 1 #4}}

She was among the group present when [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Wheeljack]] was brought back online, though she wasn't as enthusiastic about the event when she observed how happy Starscream was. {{storylink|The World of Tomorrow}} Chromia then participated in the violent arrest of the [[Firecon]]s, primary suspects in a series of murders, {{storylink|Quest for Fire}} and was present when they were locked up. {{storylink|The Killing Jar (issue)|The Killing Jar}}

[[File:AllThatRemains-ChromiaHasHadEnough.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]

Chromia and Ironhide found Windblade and Optimus Prime being attacked by Decepticons and Chromia managed to stop the fight through sheer force of intimidation. They retired to Metroplex to contemplate the spacebridge, now linked to Caminus. Optimus ordered Chromia and Ironhide to guard the portal; however they were unable to prevent [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] from taking [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] through. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} They headed through the portal with Starscream's forces and attacked Menasor. The giant briefly held Chromia in his fist until she broke free. In the end, the battle was decided when [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] joined in. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Chromia was taking part in the subsequent cleanup on Caminus when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] arrived and started smashing more things. As the giant started trying to smash the spacebridge, Chromia rallied those present to fight him until Superion and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] defeated him. {{storylink|Mistakes and Mayhem}} As Starscream returned to Cybertron, Chromia went with him to make sure no one started shooting. She was later back on Caminus when Menasor again went through the spacebridge and started fighting with the combiners already there. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} As a combiner incorporating Optimus joined the fight, Chromia led a group back through to Cybertron to help prevent the Decepticons there from attacking Caminus. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

[[File:AnUneventfulNight-ChromiaVsArcee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|''Prime'' Arcee vs. G1 Arcee.]]

Windblade and Chromia were returning to Cybertron through the spacebridge while Optimus communicated with [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}} To celebrate the union between Cybertron and Caminus, the Mistress of Flame declared an official holiday that saw Chromia temporarily don some Cityspeaker-style face paint for the occasion. While she was guarding the [[Enigma of Combination]] with a [[Badgeless]], Arcee stole the artifact. Chromia and Windblade pursued her into the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] where their confrontation was interrupted by the [[Torchbearer]]s. After the Torchbearers were merged into [[Victorion]], the trio fought to survive the giant's onslaught until Windblade managed to talk the giant into separating. Chromia later returned the Enigma and resumed guarding it. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}

She and Windblade interceded in a quarrel between visiting Camiens and Decepticons, though Chromia was a little too aggressive with the Decepticons. Windblade left her to finish sorting things out. She later joined Windblade, Ironhide, and Blurr for a trip to [[Velocitron]], where they found themselves in the path of [[Delta]], a city fleeing a wall of fire. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}} Chromia managed to encourage Ironhide into safely making it onto the city by staying by his side. She accompanied Windblade and [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]] to inspect [[Navitas]], the Titan on which the city was built, and stood by as Windblade talked to the Titan directly. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}}

[[File:TheWillOfTheFew-secondchances.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.66]]

When Windblade returned disappointed from [[Eukaris]] following the death of [[Chela]], Chromia believed she'd done her best to save the Titan. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} Following the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], Starscream declared [[Chosen One Day]], a new holiday. Windblade hugged Chromia and forgave her for past discretions...if only for a night. {{storylink|Choose Me}}

Chromia, Ironhide, and Windblade helped re-secure the spacebridge nexus after a gaggle of Decepticons stormed it. Chromia was present when Optimus Prime used the bridge to go to Earth and annex it in advance of [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]'s invasion. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} Shortly after taking this drastic step, Optimus had a nightmare where he saw Windblade and Chromia bowing down before him. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} The real Chromia, meanwhile, had gone off to attend an emergency Council meeting to discuss this problem. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

[[File:TheLineBetweenUs-ChromiaGoesToJail.jpg|thumb|left|180px]]

The uneasy peace on Cybertron was growing increasingly threatened by the distrust of the Badgeless, and compounded by a spree of [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on several Decepticons within Iacon, including a supplier of parts to [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. The Committee moved to have [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] investigate the issue. When the meeting was adjourned, Chromia went off to spar with [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Tensions boiled over after the suspicious death of [[Drunkatron|a disgruntled Decepticon]], and Chromia participated in a Council meeting that saw Ironhide step up as the new head of Cybertronian security. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

Shortly after [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] reawoke, Chromia was walking around in the Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} On learning that Windblade was being forced to help Starscream because he knew of Chromia's actions in bombing Acrolight, Chromia took over decoding security footage related to Swindle's death and discovered the Decepticon's body had been taken by Wheeljack and Rattrap. She visited Wheeljack, only for the pair of them to be taken prisoner by the rest of the Combaticons, who forced Wheeljack to lead them to Swindle's brain-dead body. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} After the Combaticons used the Enigma to merge into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], Chromia worked with Windblade to talk the Combaticons down, however Ironhide took matters into his own hands and blasted Bruticus. In the aftermath, Chromia coopted [[Circuit (G1)|Circuit]]'s broadcast to make a public confession of her actions in Acrolight, and was arrested by Ironhide. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

Chromia being in prison was later one of the factors Windblade mentioned that had demoralized her. {{storylink|Ping}} When a fleet of undead Titans arrived to destroy Cybertron (as they do), Chromia was marched onto a prison ship when Starscream gave the evacuation order. She broke the prison line to speak to Ironhide about Metroplex being felled and urged him to help Windblade who was doubtlessly with the Titan. Ironhide said Windblade was at the [[Spire]] (and he was right) and there was no need to worry but Chromia was convinced that without Ironhide, Windblade would do something stupid (she was also right). {{storylink|Desperate Times}}

Said stupid thing turned out to be releasing [[Vigilem|Carcer]]. When the evil Titan made planetfall, Chromia rushed back to Ironhide to try and find Windblade, only for the irritable warden to grab her and stuff her in a prison cell to be killed by the undead. However, Metroplex managed to release her and direct her to Windblade's location with Carcer so she could free her friend. Chromia rushed to the Titan and scaled up his body, breaching his body and arriving at his [[Brain module|brain module]] just as [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] had blown it into chunks, seemingly killing Windblade. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

Chromia was subsequently put back into prison and set to be tried for crimes against Cybertron. The [[Mistress of Flame]] attempted to get Starscream to turn Chromia over to her but when Starscream refused, she demanded Swindle and Menasor in exchange. The ghost of Bumblebee urged Starscream to hand over Chromia. Starscream instead opted to free Chromia and turn her into a hit-bot to hunt down and kill [[Liege Maximo]], offering her a pardon in exchange, as well as saying he'd lost his own chance to be better, telling Chromia not to waste hers. {{storylink|Heavy}} Starscream and [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] provided Chromia with a ship and crew while the Camien herself recorded a goodbye message for Windblade, encouraging her friend to stay strong while she was away. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

Bumblebee was very pleased at Chromia's freedom. Starscream countered that Chromia's release had ulterior motives. {{storylink|The Price of You}} When Vigilem examined Windblade's life, he saw Chromia's first meeting with Windblade. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

Liege Maximo did eventually return to Cybertron but as a prisoner of [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] instead of Chromia. Now the ruler of Cybertron, Windblade asked whether Onyx had encountered Chromia or her team. Onyx chose to ignore the question and grill [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] instead. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}

As such, Chromia's toy is in Moonracer's teal and white colors and has a head that resembles Moonracer's.

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations:]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' Chromia is a heavy [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Arcee (WFC)#Prime|Arcee]], transforming into a Cybertronian motorbike. Her blaster weapon can be mounted on the bottom of her bike mode. Originally scheduled for March 2014 along with [[Arcee (G1)/toys#Generations|Arcee]], Chromia was delayed to fall of that year and ultimately not released until December.

:Hasbro's [[:File:Generations Chromia stock photo edited.jpg|original stock photo for the figure]] depicting a hand-painted prototype (which is also featured on the back of the toy's packaging) showed her holding one of her [[wave]]-mate Arcee's guns along with her own. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the weapon's design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee's other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia. A [[:File:Generations Chromia Second Stock Photo.jpg|different version of the stock photo]] was released in November 2014 on the official ''Transformers'' Facebook page, with the extra gun edited out. Some specimens of Chromia also feature a sticker on the back of the packaging that says "Additional weapon not included."

: The original version of this sculpt was also used to make [[BotCon 2014]] [[Flareup (G1)#BotCon2014|Flareup]], and was ''differently'' retooled to make ''[[Beast Hunters (toyline)|Beast Hunters]]'' [[Arcee (WFC)#Beast Hunters|Arcee]].

*Though the first to appear in any media, [[Minerva (Masterforce human)|Minerva]] was the first female Autobot to receive a toy, and [[Freezon]] the first female Transformer to receive one (though due to a retcon). That being said, Chromia finally did get a toy as a Botcon exclusive 20 years after her debut, and a mass-released figure in the ''Generations'' line 29 years after her debut.

===Foreign names===

'''Windblade arrives on Earth before the Decepticons and meets her old friend Bumblebee, who has no idea who she is.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Thundercracker-punched-Windblade.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
[[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] enjoys himself while driving around and eventually attempts to drive off a cliff, but becomes distracted by [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade's]] voice and fails. She rescues him shortly after, and speaks to him in regards to why he was on [[Earth]]. She reveals [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and his team left in search of the [[AllSpark]], while the other [[Autobot]]s stayed and fought, despite believing they won't win. The [[Decepticon]]s figured out the AllSpark was on Earth, and left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to travel there. When Windblade received no word from Optimus, she traveled to Earth through a one-way [[space bridge]] repaired by [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]]. After answering a series of questions, she realizes Bumblebee has amnesia, just in time for [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] to show up. He bests Windblade, until Bumblebee shows up to stop him. Thundercracker then attempts to kill Bumblebee using Windblade's sword before Bumblebee momentarily paralyzes him with his stinger. Thundercracker breaks free, but Windblade blows him off the cliff before he can deal more damage. Bumblebee and Windblade leaves to find a safe place so she can enter his mind using a [[Cortical psychic patch]]. This, however, fails and inflicts pain on both of them and leaves them unconsciousness. Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]] then fly overhead.

==Quotes==
"Again, again, again, I want another ride!"
"Bumblebee, I can't believe it! Wait, I thought Ratchet fixed you voice box."
:— '''Windblade''' sneaks in a [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|name drop]] after '''Bumblebee's''' excitement rises.

"We have to figure this thing out. You really don't remember anything? Bumblebee?
"Oh, you brought a friend. Are they staying for dinner?"
"A friend?"
:— '''Windblade''' realizes '''Bumblebee''' has amnesia, only for he to tell her a [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|friend]] arrived.

"Decpeticons. You don't even remember Decepticons? Never trust a Decepticon because, well... ''they're deceptive.''"
:— '''Windblade''' explains to everyone the meaning of Decepticons about as well as someone saying "stranger danger."

==Notes==
===Continuity errors===
*Between shots of Windblade and Thundercracker charging at each other, his wings are compressed into his body. Later, when Thundercracker is throwing Bumblebee, between shots, his wings are suddenly extended out.

===Animation and technical errors===
*During the 360° spin of Thundercracker and Windblade's fight, Bumblebee is nowhere to be seen, despite clearly not hiding behind rocks and being close enough to grab Thundercracker's arm without being heard running towards him in the subsequent shot.

===Transformers references===
*Bumblebee having a damaged voice box that Ratchet attempted to repair and speaking in media quotes or bleeps is akin to the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Aligned]] versions respectively.

===Trivia===
*Why doesn't Thundercracker ever use his [[null-ray]]s during battle?
*This episode, along with [[Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory]], first debuted on Cartoon Network's app on August 27th. Both episodes were split into two approximately five-minute episodes and listed as such.

[[File:G1 boxart Inferno.jpg|upright=1.8|thumb|]]

If there is a red fire truck ''Transformers'' toy, odds are it is one of '''Inferno'''.

{{TOCclear}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1 Inferno toy.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Then he'll start the fire again.]]
*'''Inferno''' (Autobot Car, [[1985]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''10'''
**''Accessories:'' "Extinguisher Rifle", 2 fists (left & right), 3 missiles,2 shoulder wings

:Inferno transforms into a Japanese Mitsubishi Fuso F-Series FT fire ladder truck. His ladder has three sections to it, allowing it to extend to a really impressive length. Each of his forearms contains a spring-loaded missile launcher, so he can fire his own fists or silver missiles, though the [[Hasbro]] versions have these launchers severely weakened [[for safety reasons]]. He is usually depicted in media as having a missile/laser/nozzle in place of a hand on his right arm. He is also armed with a small black Extinguisher rifle.

:Inferno's toy has been [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classic Heroes]]'' line in 1990, the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' line in 1993, and ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' and the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' in 2003. See below for individual entries on these releases.

:This sculpt was [[redeco]]ed and partially [[retool]]ed to make [[Grapple (G1)#Generation 1|Grapple]], the [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' [[Hauler#Collector's Edition|RoadHauler]] and ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (toyline)|The Headmasters]]'' [[Artfire#The Headmasters|Artfire]].

[[File:ActionMaster Inferno.jpg|upright=1|thumb|Inferno's lack of transformation ability was compensated by a big orange thingamajig.]]
*'''Inferno with Hydro-Pack''' ([[Action Master]], [[1990]])
**''Accessories:'' Hydro-Pack, "Magna-Blast Gun"

:Part of the third assortment of "basic" carded Action Masters, Inferno is a non-transforming action figure with a simplified design, based loosely on his cartoon [[Character model|animation model]]. Inferno came with a [[Hydro-Pack]] that could be attached to his back (with a "hose" that flipped over his shoulder to attach to his handgun, a feature unique among Action Master "partner" accessories), or transformed via spring-loaded mechanism into a large cannon, with a barrel that could be further extended by attaching his handgun to the very end of it. He is compatible with all other Action Master weapons and vehicles.

{{-}}{{anchor|1990Classic}}
*'''Classic Inferno''' (Classic Heroes, [[1990]])
**''Accessories:'' "Extinguisher Rifle", 2 fists (left & right), 3 missiles, 2 hose nozzles
:The original Inferno toy was first reissued in [[Europe]] in 1990 alongside several other early Transformers, as part of the "[[Classics (Europe)|Classic Heroes]]" range.

===Generation 2===
[[File:G2 Inferno toy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|How's anyone supposed to climb the ladder with this huge thing on my back?]]
*'''Inferno''' (Autobot Hero, [[1993]])
**''Accessories:'' "Extinguisher Rifle", water cannon, 2 fists (left & right), 2 shoulder wings

:For ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|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), his detachable fists were also re-tooled in order for them to fit snuggly in the connecting hole of the forearms and the wing extensions on his shoulders were also slightly retooled. He came with a large red [[Water-squirting gimmick|water-shooting]] cannon that clipped to his ladder. Said cannon rains pain.

===The Transformers Collection===
*'''Inferno''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TFC-08'''
**''Accessories:'' "Extinguisher Rifle", 2 fists (left & right), 3 missiles, 2 shoulder wings
:In [[2003]], the original Inferno toy was [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] as part of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' series. This time he featured a [[tampograph]]ed Autobot symbol and blue instead of yellow eyes. These changes carried over to ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' Inferno (see below), ''Commemorative Series'' [[Grapple (G1)|Autobot Grapple]], and ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' [[Hauler|RoadHauler]].

===Commemorative Series===
[[File:Commemorative Inferno US UK.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|Be glad there wasn't a 2012 Asian version as well.|]]
*'''Inferno''' (Commemorative Series V, 2003/2006)
**''Accessories:'' "Extinguisher Rifle", 2 fists (left & right), 3 missiles, 2 shoulder wings
:The same year as the Takara reissue, Hasbro released their own reissue of Inferno as part of the [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' line in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Unlike the Takara version, the Hasbro version no longer featured launching fists or missiles [[for safety reasons]]. This reissue comes with an additional Autobot [[insignia]] decal, depicting the more modern long-faced version of the Autobot insignia. According to the [[instructions]], this [[sticker]] is supposed to be placed ''on top of'' the Autobot insignia sticker that is already on Inferno's chest!
::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2003/Autobot/CSInferno/inferno.htm More information on Commemorative Series Inferno at TFU.info]''

:In 2006, three years after the U.S. release and long after the ''Commemorative Series'' had been discontinued by Toys"R"Us in America, Inferno and several other figures were released as Toys"R"Us exclusives in the United Kingdom. Unlike previous UK releases of ''Commemorative Series'' figures, the packaging for this batch was no longer [[multilingual packaging|multilingual]], but in English only. Despite this, the packaging was ''not'' identical to the previous U.S. version; it lacked the "Commemorative Series" labels, the "choking hazard" safety warning labels and all [[trademark]] ™ and ® markings, and moved the "Ages 5+" recommendation to a new position.

===Universe (2008)===
[[File:Universe2008 G1Inferno.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|BURNING JUSTI— Oh, sorry, wrong fire truck.]]
*'''Inferno''' (Voyager, [[2009]])
**''Series'': Generation 2 Series
**''Accessories'': "Water Blast" projectile

:"[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]] series" ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Inferno is the first all-new tooling for the Voyager class [[size class|price point]] in the ''Universe'' line. Unlike the original toy, ''Universe'' Inferno transforms into an American pumper/tanker fire truck, rather than the Generation 1's Japanese Hino ladder engine. In lieu of a ladder, he packs a water cannon with spring-loaded projectile, a call-back to ''Generation 2'' Inferno's working water cannon.

:This version of Inferno transforms into a fictional six-wheeled variant of the 2002–2007 Pierce Contender series of firetrucks. It appears to be a fusion of two different designs from that period. See: [[Wikipedia:Pierce Manufacturing#Gallery of Pierce Apparatus|Pierce Manufacturing]]

:The number "401" [[tampograph]]ed onto him is the area code for the state of Rhode Island, home of [[Hasbro]]'s headquarters.

:This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Pyro (G1)#Timelines|Autobot Spark]], and was retooled to make [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2010)]] [[Grapple (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Solar Storm Grappel]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Hot Spot (G1)#Generations|Protectobot Hot Spot]], and Grappel himself was later redecoed into [[Transformers (2014 toyline)|''Transformers'' (2014)]] [[Hot Spot (G1)#Transformers (2014)|Protectobot Hot Spot]]. It was then redecoed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Artfire#United 2|Artfire]], using tooling from both the original Inferno version and the newer Grappel version of this sculpt.

===Henkei! Henkei!===
[[File:Henkei inferno.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb|Is it hot in here, or is it just me?]]
*'''Cybertron Inferno''' (Voyager, 2009-[[February 26|02-26]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-15'''
**''Accessories:'' "Water Blast" projectile

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Inferno differs from ''Universe'' Inferno mainly in the red plastic used: whereas ''Universe'' Inferno has a darker shade of red, ''Henkei'' Inferno is considerably brighter. The dark brown plastic used for several parts on ''Universe'' Inferno has been changed to gray. The black parts on ''Universe'' Inferno are now dark blue and the colorless clear plastic used for his eyes is actually molded in clear blue plastic (rather than being painted over clear blue). Major paint application changes include chroming Inferno's water cannon, forearm panels, and the backs of his shoulder panels. Aside from the chrome he also has the addition of yellow highlights to his head, clear-red painted sirens, and the removal of the Rhode Island "401" area code.

===Speed Stars===
[[File:StealthForce Inferno toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Because ''real'' firetrucks come with ''real'' firepower]]
*'''Autobot Inferno''' (Stealth Force Deluxe, [[2010]])
**''Accessories:'' 2 projectiles

:''[[Speed Stars]]'' Inferno is a new non-transformable mold, appearing as a much more traditional looking fire truck than any of his previous toys but retaining the "401" tampograph that his ''Universe'' toy had. His packaging also depicts his ''Universe'' toy's robot head. At the press of a button, he can deploy his weapons located on top, at the side and the front of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] while pulling a tab hides the weapons again.

:Included in the package are ''two'' water-burst missiles. However, they can only be stored in and fired from his top-mounted cannon one at a time.

===Kre-O===
[[File:KreO-Toy InfernoKreon.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Inferno''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2012)
**''Bag number'': '''***** 41'''
**''Accessories'': Logo brick, wrist-blaster

: Part of the first normal wave of [[Micro-Changer]] [[Kreon]]s, Inferno is a [[blindpacking|blindpacked]]-bagged mini-figure, though a stamped ID number can be found on the back of the bag, top-right corner. He comes with extra bits to turn him into something that might be described as a fire engine.

: He uses [[Sentinel Prime (Kre-O)|Sentinel Prime]]'s helmet... which was patterned after the original Inferno in the first place.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2013/Autobot/Kre-OInferno/inferno.htm More information on Inferno at TFU.info]''

{{-}}{{anchor|SDCC2015}}
*'''Kreon Class of 1985''' (Kreon figure set, 2015)
**''Set number'': '''B5152'''
**''Voted'': Class Hottie
**''Accessories'': Scoped pistol

: [[Kreon Class of '85]] Inferno features a deco much more accurate to the original 1985 toy. Like the rest of the set, he uses the updated, almost-totally-[[retool]]ed 2015 style Kreon body.

:This box set of thirty Kreons was a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015 [[exclusive]], with leftovers being sold on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the show.

{{-}}{{anchor|2016}}
* '''Inferno''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Logo plate, wrist-blaster

:In 2016, Collection 1 was re-released in a whole new production run for discount and drug stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) Inferno's torso and face [[tampograph]]s have also been reworked to be slightly more detailed, and the formerly-bare legs now have extra detail tampographing on them. The 1x1 top-clip piece is also slightly different from the original, with a much lower-set clip.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

===Bot Shots===
[[Image:BStoy-Inferno.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Some other guy]] already took the color red.]]

*'''Inferno''' (2013)
**''Series'': '''2'''
**''Number'': '''B011'''
***''Fist strength'': '''186'''
***''Blaster strength'': '''580'''
***''Sword strength'': '''848'''

:Part of the third wave of ''[[Bot Shots (toyline)|Bot Shots]]'' Series 2 single-packs, Blitz Shot Inferno is a [[redeco]] of [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)#Bot Shots|Series 1 Sentinel Prime]], transforming into a firetruck with an [[Autotransformation|automatic, spring-loaded transformation]] to robot mode triggered when his front bumper is pressed. He has an "spinner" in his chest that shows his three attack types and power levels.

:This mold was also [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]: BeCool'' [[Ganoh]].

{{-}}

===Masterpiece===
[[File:TF-Masterpiece-MP33-Inferno.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Yeah! Let's make an MP of Inferno! He's real popular these days, right?]]
* '''Inferno''' (2016-[[November 26|11-26]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-33'''
**''Accessories:'' Four faces, two heads, chromed hand blaster, white hand blaster, chrome-grilled chest, two gray-grilled chests, sticker sheet, water spray, fire hose, blaster and two communication radar dishes, die-cast Optimus Prime figure (Asian preorder only)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Inferno represents his cartoon model very well—right down to his disappearing ladder in robot mode—while still maintaining the ''Masterpiece'' level of detail. He comes with two heads, one based on the animation character model and one based on the original toy (both of which featured in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]–see [[Inferno (G1)#Notes]] for details) and four swappable faces: default and angry which only fit into the toy head, and default and smiling which fit onto the animation character model head (these can also be fitted into the toy head but leave gaps). He also comes with three chest pieces: one based on his original toy with a detailed, chromed grill and standard Autobot symbol; one with the simplified, non-chromed grill and symbol designs from the cartoon; and one with clear supports attached to it so that Inferno can recreate the scene from "[[Auto Berserk]]" of him carrying Red Alert in his arms. He also comes with the robotic hose Lord [[Chumley]] attacked him with in the episode "[[Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target]]", as well as two removable, forearm-mounted communicators, which appeared in the same episode. His wrist-barrel/blaster is hidden behind his right hand and comes in both chromed and unchromed form, to match whichever chestpiece you have attached, and he includes a gushing water-spray effect piece that can plug into either barrel, his fire truck mode's ladder, head mounted nozzle or robotic hose. He also includes a selection of optional stickers, including standard and cartoon-accurate Autobot logos, and four "fire department" stickers, bearing a similar appearance to the symbol seen on MP-14 Red Alert. In early displays, the sticker sheet which indicates his role as "Cybertron Search & Rescue" had the word "search" misspelled. This error was corrected in the public release.

:If preordered in Asian countries outside of Japan, he also comes with a non-transforming die-cast [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP33|Optimus Prime minifigure]].

*'''Inferno''' (Voyager Class, 2018)
:*''Accessories:'' Two rifles, Prime Armor/combiner feet, Autobot Enigma
:Released as part of the third wave of ''[[Power_of_the_Primes_(toyline)#Voyager_Class|Power of the Primes]]'' Voyager Class figures, Inferno is a retool of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Hot_Spot_(G1)#Combiner Wars|Protectobot Hot Spot]], and he transforms from a firetruck resembling a modified [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Rosenbauer Panther 6x6]] to a robot. Inferno can form the torso of an unnamed combiner using any selection of ''Combiner Wars'' or ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures as limbs. He also includes Prime Armor (redecoed from [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)#Generatiosn|Hun-Gurrr]]'s) that can hold a [[Prime Master]] and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Inferno includes an [[Enigma of Combination]] (dubbed the ''Autobot Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Inferno via the previously mentioned Prime Armor or the combined mode chest.

:Inferno's card artwork depicts him with the chest and shoulders of the [[Onslaught (G1)#Combiner_Wars|Onslaught]] version of the mold, with the chest slightly retooled to remove the sculpted detailing that mimicked Onslaught's chest sticker. However, the final toy only uses tooling from Hot Spot, implying a change somewhere late in production.

===Transformers Gum===
*'''Inferno''' ([[1985]])
**''Accessories:'' "Extinguisher Rifle", 2 fists (left & right)

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

:A 36-point "rare" character in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]'s "Energon Wars" expansion, Inferno "transforms" into a red fire truck. He uses the same parts layout as [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], Movie [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]], and "[[Bonecrusher (G1)|Classic Bonecrusher]]", albeit with some parts moved around to make him more fire truck-like.

:Released in the fourth wave of the revived ''Transformers Gum'' series in 2011, this transforming model kit of Inferno is made from red and black plastic, with stickers for detail. It's based on the ''Henkei'' Inferno toy. He comes with the base (and accompanying stickers) of the trailer for Rodimus Prime.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[File:Phoenix King movie poster.jpg|thumb|Inferno moonlights for easy cash.]]
*An early [[variant]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' predecessor of the original ''Transformers'' Inferno figure had an actual Mitsubishi company logo and the name "FUSO" sculpted on the front end of his cab section, whereas later versions lacked those details just like the later ''Transformers'' version did.<ref name="diaclone">[http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vdiagrapinferno.html Diaclone Grapple and Inferno] at Fred's Workshop.</ref>
*Inferno's original toy, slightly modified, was [[Knockoff|knocked off]] and used as the title 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.angelfire.com/droid/futuremasters/Defenders.html 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.angelfire.com/droid/futuremasters/SpaceThunder.html Space Thunder Kids]''.

===''War for Cybertron''===
Neutron Assault Rifles were one of the most common weapons in use during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. They were well-balanced and used a large clip of ammunition with a decent amount of punch behind its unassuming frame. They were toted by both [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]] and [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] classes. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron}}

They were still in use during the latter days of the war in the lead-up to the launch of the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. A newer design was introduced around this time, sporting a whopping eight barrels as opposed to the single barrel on the old model.

:Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' [[Starscream (WFC)#Generations|Starscream]] comes with two spinning, triple-barreled "assault cannons" which can combine to form a larger hand-held weapon that is geared to spin its two triple-barrels together, and resembles the Neutron assault rifle from ''Fall of Cybertron''. Each of the weapon halves features two [[5mm post]]s, as well as a peg-hole on their hollow sides, while the combined form features another peg-hole at the top, but makes the peg-holes on the hollow sides inaccessible.

:In an undocumented feature, Starscream's tail-fin is attached via a 5mm post on its underside, and can be detached to reveal three additional peg-holes, with two of these peg-holes being just the right distance to accommodate the two pegs found on the underside of the combined assault cannons/rifle, with the tail-fin pegging on the rifle's top peg-hole. This allows the weapon to mount on top of the vehicle mode, and store on his back in robot mode.

:''The Combaticons are a [[Decepticon]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:TVMGuideCombaticons.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|The Dirty Half-Dozen Minus One—from left to right Swindle, Vortex, Onslaught, Blast Off and Brawl.]]
The '''Combaticons''' are a unit of fierce Decepticon soldiers, operating with (mostly) military precision under the watchful eye of the tactically brilliant Onslaught. They sometimes operate out of [[Combaticons' headquarters|their own headquarters]].

They are inexplicably often linked back to [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] in some way, be it by creation or command structure.

The Combaticons consist of:
*The tactician [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]] (leader)
*The violent [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]]
*The egotistical [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]
*The con man [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]
*The unhinged [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]]

They combine to form [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:Starscreams brigade 5 letsgo.jpg|center|upright=2.2|thumb|Dad's Army]]
When [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] was banished from the Decepticons for Yet Another Failed Coup Against [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], he was deposited on the island of [[Guadalcanal]], the site of one of the major battles between the [[United States of America]] and [[Japan|Imperial Japan]] during [[World War II]]. There he found and rebuilt several abandoned US military vehicles to pass the time. After he finished, he decided that if Megatron can have a Decepticon army, then so can he!

After bluffing his way past [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] to use the [[space bridge]], he travelled to a [[Decepticon Detention Center|detention center]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and liberated the [[personality component]]s of several [[Renegade Decepticon|Decepticon political prisoners]] before destroying the rest. Back on [[Earth]], Starscream installed the components into the rusting military vehicles and ordered them to transform.

[[File:Combaticons group.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Swindle suddenly becomes a fervent opponent of [[scale]].]]
The reborn Combaticons were less than pleased with their "new," primitive bodies, nor were they particularly thankful to Starscream for freeing them after millions of years of imprisonment. That is, until the former Decepticon Air Commander revealed that he had neglected to install [[energy absorber]] units into their bodies, so they would have no way of refueling. As he was the only one with the knowledge and expertise to install them, he demanded their allegiance in his aim to overthrow Megatron. The Combaticons agreed to obey Starscream, for now.

[[File:Starscreams brigade 7 SSrideshoulder.jpg|155px|thumb|SQUAWK! Starscream wanna cracker!]]

Under Starscream's leadership, the Combaticons managed to capture several prisoners, then used their energy absorbers to recharge themselves at a power plant. Unfortunately, Megatron and the Decepticons attacked, while the Autobots rescued their comrades. The [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], who was quickly defeated by the Combaticons' much more powerful, but dull-witted combined form, Bruticus. Starscream ordered Bruticus to grab Megatron, forcing his former commander to acknowledge Starscream as the new leader of the Decepticons. Under duress, Megatron did so as the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] watched nearby. The latter group, deciding that Starscream would be too dangerous as a leader, quickly formed [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and defeated Bruticus with a single attack.

Starscream and the Combaticons were banished from Earth on a small asteroid, left to wallow in their own misery and blame each other for their failures. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}}

[[File:Revenge of bruticus 4 changing course.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Lads, we can get the scrambled channels now]]
Starscream and the Combaticons quickly had a falling-out. After Starscream left, the Combaticons attacked Cybertron, easily defeating [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and his [[Sentinel (G1)|drones]]. Thirsting for revenge, Onslaught reprogrammed the space bridge to pull Earth closer to the [[Sun]], in the hopes of destroying it and every Transformer there. The Autobots and Decepticons temporarily joined forces to retake Cybertron and prevent Earth's destruction, and with Starscream's help, they deactivated the Combaticons once they formed Bruticus through a failsafe device built into the treacherous giant's back. Optimus Prime and Megatron agreed that Bruticus must be destroyed, but the Decepticon leader fooled the Autobots by using Shockwave's [[holographic projector]] to make it appear as though Bruticus was destroyed, when in reality the combiner was reprogrammed to be loyal only to Megatron. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:Revenge of bruticus 15 fakeblowup.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Care Bear Stare]]
Soon afterwards, during Megatron's latest scheme on Earth involving the theft of fighter aircraft using Middle-Eastern criminals, the Combaticons were called into service to defend Megatron's [[Giant Purple Griffin]], a large... thing that apparently pumped [[oil]]. Or something. Struggling against the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], the Combaticons formed Bruticus, yet were still knocked over when the Aerialbots twisted a tow cable around his legs. The Decepticon combiner was finally defeated when the Aerialbots ignited the nearby oil wells, causing a massive explosion that sent Megatron, [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], Bruticus and gas prices flying away. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}}

[[File:Bruticus punch planebot.jpg|left|155px|thumb|"Bruticus punch planebot so hard, make artist draw all over cel!"]]
While attacking a human city, Bruticus was destroyed in battle with [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] (man, this guy can't seem to catch a break). Only Swindle survived, and he sold the remains of his comrades to various mercenaries and [[El Presidente|third-world dictator-types]], only to be forced to locate and rebuild the Combaticons by Megatron. The reformed Bruticus was then defeated when Megatron's disruptor cannon was overloaded by the human-built [[B.O.T. (G1)|B.O.T.]], once again sending the Decepticon flying into the sky. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

[[File:Combaticons bruticus.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Not often you can get a view of the whole team AND their combined form in a single screencap.]]
After the great battle at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], the Combaticons were among the battered Decepticon forces who withdrew to [[Chaar]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Swindle was instrumental in negotiating an alliance with the [[Quintesson]]s; {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} the Combaticons later participated in a Quintesson-led assault on the Autobots on [[Goo 8739B|Goo]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

A lone Blast Off later attacked a [[Skuxxoid]] who was using [[death crystal]]s to blow stuff up in Decepticon territory, and forced the alien to tell him where he got the ammunition. When a group of Autobots tried to find the crystals as well, Blast Off attacked them alongside [[Runamuck (G1)|Runamuck]]. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}} The Combaticons later failed to assassinate Decepticon exile [[Octane]] at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}} then succeeded in shooting up a shuttle meant to take human delegates to an interstellar peace conference. {{storylink|Surprise Party}}

During a Decepticon attack on the [[Netherlands]], Swindle infiltrated [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and stole his [[transformation cog]], whilst Vortex was charged with guarding [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}} The Combaticons later participated in the assault on [[Paradron]], where they guarded the imprisoned Paradronians, among other things. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} When the Earth was infected by the [[Hate Plague]], the Combaticons (Bruticus) were among those infected. Brawl was seen driving along the road and infecting [[Headstrong (G1)|Headstrong]] who, in turn, infected [[Razorclaw (G1)|Razorclaw]] while Vortex attacked a civilian plane on a runway. {{storylink|The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1}}

Under [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s directions, the Combaticons constructed a giant planetary rocket engine that was used to propel Cybertron into orbit around Earth. They also dragged away the bodies of defeated Autobots to use as fuel for the engine. Once Scorponok and Fortress Maximus began to fight the Combaticons ran away. They presumably left Cybertron with Galvatron in Scorponok {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' manga====
Bruticus arrived to help the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] fight [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] at a baseball stadium in [[Japan]]. He quickly defeated Defensor, injuring [[Hot Spot (G1)|his torso]] and preventing him from combining. In response, Superion disabled Brawl and Swindle using his [[electrostatic discharger rifle]], allowing [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] and [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] to steal their places as Bruticus's legs. Taking control of the giant's flight systems, the two Protectobots flew off with Bruticus as [[Kenji]] cheered at them to drop the Combaticons into the sea. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}} Onslaught later joined the Stunticons in a scheme to defame the Autobots by destroying factories around Japan whilst wearing Autobot [[insignia]]s. When confronted by the real Autobots, he "combined" with fellow [[Decepticon Trailer Corps]] member [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]], but they were defeated and sent packing by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 7|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #7}}

The Combaticons' next mission was to hunt down [[Murdered puppy|an escaped dog]] that Megatron had experimented on, imbuing it with [[Decepticon super science]]. Brawl managed to fatally injure the animal, much to Onslaught's annoyance as they were supposed to capture it alive. The Autobot [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] soon arrived to put a halt to their activities, and the dog expressed its gratitude by using its experimental powers to energize Powerglide with [[Scramble Power]]. As Powerglide used the power to combine with his fellow [[Mini Vehicle|Minibots]], the Combaticons responded by forming Bruticus. He proved weaker than this new [[Minibot combiner]], however, as it used the "Minibot Warrior Spiral Attack" to drill straight through Bruticus's chest, defeating him.

The dog still died, though. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 8|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #8}}

====Scramble City====
When the Stunticons were dispatched to hinder the Autobots from constructing [[Metroplex (G1)|Scramble City]], they were attacked by the Aerialbots and did not fare too well. The Combaticons arrived to help, and together Bruticus and Menasor easily overpowered Superion. However, Scramble City itself soon arrived and blasted both combiners away. {{storylink|Scramble City: Mobilization}}

====''The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers''====
The Combaticons emerged as Bruticus alongside the other Decepticon super-warriors, ready to storm the Autobot energy tower on the planet [[Feminia]]. Galvatron and his men laughed off the presence of Superion, Defensor and [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]... but the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]]? Carrying a length of thread?! Oh, the horror. {{storylink|The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #5}}

====''The Great Transformer War''====
The Combaticons and Stunticons were working out of Trypticon where the kidnapped scientist Doctor [[Dalton]] was being forced to work for Galvatron's evil ends. When the Aerialbots and Protectobots arrived to save the scientist, Onslaught and Motormaster combined with Trypticon in their deployment launcher modes. Hurtling their fellow Decepticons at Superion did such damage that the Aerialbots were forced to disassemble. Somehow, however, the remaining Protectobots managed to hold off both Bruticus and Menasor long enough for [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] to repair the Aerialbots, and for [[Blades (G1)|Blades]] to sneak past the Decepticons and retrieve Dalton. {{storylink|The Great Transformer War issue 1|The Great Transformer War #1}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
The Combaticons participated in an all-out Decepticon attack on Cybertron, {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} until [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] arrived and drove them away. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} Shortly afterwards, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] set out to find the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and bring it to Optimus Prime, and the Combaticons were among the troops sent out to stop him. They were ambushed by the Protectobots, and defeated when Defensor buried Bruticus in a rockfall. {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}} Not long after that, the Combaticons defended [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] against [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Twincast]]'s attempted infiltration, but failed when the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] arrived and distracted them. {{storylink|The Great Cassette Operation}}

[[File:UltraMagnusDies Combaticons.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|"All six Combaticons present and accou... Wait! Why are YOU with us?"]]
The Combaticons were later part of ''another'' attack on Cybertron, during which they killed plenty of [[Generic|soldiers]] before getting into another fight with Defensor. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} They lost. {{storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}} When the Decepticons planted a giant carnivorous plant in [[San Francisco]], the Combaticons and Stunticons were ordered to with attack any Autobots who arrived to kill it. When the Aerialbots and [[Trainbot]]s did just that, Bruticus got into an energy-sword fight with [[Raiden]]. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} Sixshot later sent the Combaticons, [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and [[Horrorcon]]s to attack an Autobot energy facility in [[Florida|Miami]], in order to lure Autobot troops away from [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]]. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}}

The Combaticons were present when [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] held a speech about Galvatron's recent death and took control of the Decepticons. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} Bruticus was later part of a small group of Decepticons who tried to lead Fortress Maximus away from the Decepticon base on [[Master (planet)|Master]]. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} He then stood by and laughed as [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] sank the luxury liner ''[[Queen World]]'' in the Atlantic Ocean, before being stationed at one of Scorponok's [[Death Tower]]s in Canberra, [[Australia]]. He defended the tower against Defensor until it activated, at which point [[Wingspan]] and [[Pounce]] ordered him to withdraw. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 1)}}

Bruticus participated in the final battle with the Autobots at the North Pole, and fought [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] alongside [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]]. As Scorponok's energy-absorbing satellite started tearing the Earth apart, Bruticus retreated into the atmosphere to watch the results alongside the rest of the Decepticon forces. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' manga====
Brawl and Blast Off participated in an attack on [[Athenia]] by forming the right limbs of [[Scramble 7]], a Decepticon combiner using various combiner team members in a supposedly "ideal" configuration. Despite being so great, however, Scramble 7 was defeated by [[Ginrai (human)|Super Ginrai]], [[Lightfoot (Masterforce)|Lightfoot]], and [[Ranger]] thanks to their use of [[Chōkon Power]]. {{storylink|The Battle Begins!

====''Zone'' OVA, manga, and story pages====
Seeking to create a [[Decepticon Zone]] to counter the [[Micro|Autobot Zone]], [[Emperor of Destruction|Decepticon Emperor]] [[Violen Jiger]] gathered together the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], upgrading them with powerful new armor and weaponry, then sent them forth to conquer planets. The Combaticons were of those summoned, but only in the form of Bruticus. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Zone Part 1}} {{storylink|Fight!

[[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]] was able to view this data remotely and prepare for their development.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

[[File:Onslaught afterdeath.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
On their first mission on Earth, the Combaticons followed [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] to retrieve the human [[hydrothermocline]] plant. When they arrived, they faced Optimus Prime and the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] waiting for them. The Combaticons formed Bruticus and stared down [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] when a nearby human named [[Ethan Zachary]] suggested that they play a [[Multi-World|video game]] over the plant instead. Optimus Prime and Megatron both agreed, and the Combaticons were sent into the game to attack the Protectobots. However, they lost every battle due to not taking the "wildlife" AI into account. {{storylink|Afterdeath!}} ''These events were observed by the [[time travel]]ling [[Dicet Alpha-zero]].'' {{storylink|The Quest!}} After this, the Combaticons didn't do much but follow Megatron around, even when their mentally unstable leader heavily damaged Brawl for mouthing off. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}

''Later, [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] led the Combaticons to kill [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]—and co-incidentally [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]]—while they were trapped in the cooled lava flow of [[Mount Verona]]. After making short work of the human military encamped on the site, the Combaticons set up explosive charges around the volcano to obliterate the entire area but their operation was met with resistance thanks to [[Cindy Newell|three]] [[Susan Hoffman|human]] [[Joy Meadows|women]], as well as [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] and the [[Throttlebot]]s. When the Combaticons retreated to detonate their explosives, their remote signal was jammed by [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]].'' {{storylink|Ladies' Night (issue)|Ladies' Night}} ''In response to that humiliation,'' the Combaticons would later attack the [[Throttlebot]]s in a used car lot, only for the Protectobots and Blaster to interfere and force them to retreat. {{storylink|Used Autobots}} Shortly afterwards, the group decided to ambush the Protectobots on their way to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. This time, Bruticus claimed victory over Defensor by hitting him with a train, but was soon tricked and broken into his component parts by Blaster. After this, Blaster took control of Blast Off and flew into space, separating the shuttle from the other Combaticons. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}} Along with most of the Decepticon army, the Combaticons later ambushed the Autobots on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], only to be beaten back by Blaster and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

When the fleshlings discovered a mysterious lost civilization buried underneath the ice, the Combaticons Brawl, Vortex and Blast Off joined [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] in seeking whatever treasures the hidden city might have. They were confronted by the Aerialbots named [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]] and [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], and fought on the surface over the city. Little did they know that the [[city-dweller]]s were robots themselves, remotely storing and copying images of the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, imprinting themselves with the skills of warfare. They were only stopped by the unlikely duo of Ravage and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. After the city-dwellers were defeated, the Autobots granted safe passage to their one-time Decepticon allies. Blast Off expanded to his maximum size to transport his fellow 'Cons back to Decepticon headquarters. {{storylink|Battle Beneath the Ice}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
The five soldiers who would one day become the Combaticons were early participants in the Decepticons' war effort. While Onslaught and the others joined Shockwave in attacking [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] and the [[High Council Pavilions]] being protected by the Autobots, Swindle chose to throw in with Starscream, helping him to disable [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and assume temporary control over Megatron's planetary juggernaut project. {{storylink|Transformers: The War Within|The War Within}}

At some later date, these five warriors were officially brought together as a combiner team, given the ability to form Bruticus. Like the other Combiners, they were banned from operating together on any given faction during the Dark Ages, by decree of the [[Crisis Intervention Accord]] to prevent any more devastation to the planet at the hands of the super-robot combiners.{{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} The Combaticons were still authorized to operate individually and separately among the various Decepticon factions. Given his previous efforts helping [[Motormaster (G1)|Motormaster]] and the [[Battlecharger]]s with Starscream's coup, Swindle may have joined them as a member of the [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacons]], although this was never stated. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}}

By the modern era, the Combaticons had been declared war criminals by the united Cybertronian government under Shockwave and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. The details of their crimes and why they were singled-out for imprisonment is unclear—Shockwave may have been intentionally eliminating [[Ratbat (G1)|potential rivals]] or [[Stunticon (G1)|loose cannons]], or may simply have allowed their imprisonment as a token showing of cooperation with the Autobot High Council. Once the Transformers from Earth were contacted, and uprisings began taking place on Cybertron, Starscream managed to worm his way into the [[Detention Banks]] and recover the five stasis pods containing the Combaticons. He loaded them onto his stolen transport and brought them back to Earth with him and the rest of his hand-picked crew. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

On Earth, Starscream reactivated the Combaticons as his personal "brigade", scanning Earth military vehicles for their alternate modes. Using the Combaticons as shock troops, he made a two-staged assault on the Ark, and successfully took five of the seven remaining Autobots off-line. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} Starscream and Bruticus' efforts to complete their set were interrupted by the arrival of [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], Starscream's crazed clone-brother, and Bruticus was damaged in the melee. {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} After the battle with Sunstorm, Starscream attempted to train the Combaticons into better military shape, using the Autobot prisoner [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] as a "tackling dummy". His training efforts were interrupted by the return of Megatron and his combiner team, the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. Even as Bruticus, the Combaticons quickly fell before the might of [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
The Combaticons were among the Decepticons under control of "the Son of Megatron", [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]]. Onslaught tried to protect his leader from a vengeful Optimus Prime while Brawl, Vortex and Blast Off were seen fighting against a combined Autobot-[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] army. Swindle, however, was nowhere to be found. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Early in the [[Great War (G1)|war]], Brawl and Onslaught were part of an armored division led by [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]]. They participated in the defense of the [[Citadel]] but were overwhelmed by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]]. {{storylink|Endgame}} When [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] was overthrown by [[Scorponok (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Scorponok]], the Combaticons were among the Decepticons who refused to their new leader and left Cybertron to do their own thing. While breaking into an armory at the [[Presidium (planet)|Presidium]], they were approached by [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] and offered ample payment for their return to the frontlines. {{storylink|Primacy issue 2|Primacy #2}} They accepted, and Onslaught and Brawl were later seen participating in Megatron's attack on [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|Primacy issue 3|Primacy #3}} {{storylink|Primacy issue 4|Primacy #4}}

During the war [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] became one of the worst violators of the [[Tyrest Accord]], constantly selling Transformers technology to alien races, and had gone AWOL from the Decepticons, hunted by both sides of the war. {{storylink|Spotlight: Ultra Magnus}} The other four remained Combaticons, and were a dangerous tactical unit capable of taking on and beating superior numbers (even ones backed up by [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|total loonies]]). Under orders from [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzaitron]], they successfully raided the [[Garrus-9]] Autobot prison and abducted [[Pretender Monster|the six newest inmates]], the gestalt Transformers, despite taking some damage from a high threat convict, Arcee, who was released to stop them. {{storylink|Spotlight: Arcee}} Soon afterwards, the Combaticons were among the only survivors of an attack by the [[Dead Universe]] Transformers, who activated the gestalt combined form, [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]], inside Banzaitron's base. {{storylink|Spotlight: Hardhead}} After a deal was negotiated between Arcee and Banzaitron; the Combaticons, remaining [[Decepticon Secret Service|DSS]] members and the crazed Autobot fought Monstructor on [[Rotan]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

Two years after the fall of Megatron, the Combaticons were among the Decepticons left behind on Earth. Swindle joined up with a small band of roaming Decepticons, {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 1: "New Arrivals, Old Encounters"|New Arrivals, Old Encounters}} while Onslaught was one of many Transformers captured by [[Skywatch]] using their reverse-engineered energon and Cybertronian technology. He and several other Decepticons were rescued from Skywatch custody by Swindle's team, who removed the mode-locks placed on them by Skywatch's restraint tech. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 2: "A Rude Awakening"|A Rude Awakening}} After Swindle failed to take advantage of some rebellious Autobots in an attempt to get off Earth, he disappeared. {{storylink|Things Fall Apart, Part 5: "Earthworks"|Earthworks}}

Fleeing to [[North Korea]], Swindle made a deal with [[Kim Jong Du]], the leader of the nation, offering him the Combaticons as an invasion force in exchange for energon. He left when he got the energy he needed, but the other Combaticons remained. {{storylink|Police Action Part 3: A Second Chance at Eden|A Second Chance at Eden}} Soon enough, Onslaught, Brawl and Vortex were invading [[South Korea]] for their employer (Blast Off's whereabouts were unknown: Skywatch noted that the Koreans had enough energon for five Transformers, but he might just have left Earth on his own). {{storylink|International Incident Part 1: "The Land Ironclads"|"The Land Ironclads"}} They ended up in a brawl with both the Autobots (allied with Skywatch) and [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] (allied with [[China]]), but were ultimately defeated. Luckily for them, the Autobots didn't have the resources at hand to take them captive. {{storylink|International Incident Part 4: "All My Sins Remembered"|"All My Sins Remembered"}}

Brawl later tried to kill [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]] on Swindle's behalf, but failed and was captured by the Autobots. {{storylink|Police Action Part 2: Only Forward|Only Forward}} Swindle himself was taken in shortly afterwards when his latest scheme failed. {{storylink|Police Action Part 3: A Second Chance at Eden|A Second Chance at Eden}} The captured Combaticons, and likely the others as well, ended up being forced to work for the Autobots on a restored Cybertron once the war was declared over. {{storylink|The Autonomy Lesson (issue)|The Autonomy Lesson}} The Decepticons felt oppressed under a provisional government of Autobots, Non-Aligned Cybertronians, and Starscream. Starscream approached Onslaught to buy the Combaticons' services as he made his play for Iacon's leadership. In exchange for protecting him from those like the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] or unruly bots, Starscream would allow the group a position of power when the time came. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

Blast Off and Brawl were among those brought by Starscream to pressure Prowl into revealing one of his secret discoveries below ground. Later underground, they witnessed a Titan declare that Starscream was the Cybertronian destined to unite their whole race. They and the other Cybertronians celebrated afterwards with Starscream. {{storylink|Primus: All Good Things}} Later, most of the Combaticons were involved in the rioting that began when Megatron returned, although Swindle, along with [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], offered their testimony on Prowl's murder of [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] and the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. {{storylink|City on Fire}} {{storylink|The Verge}} Some time later, when Starscream successfully became the ruler of Iacon, he reneged on his deal with Onslaught, who was furious over the betrayal. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

After Megatron's defection to the Autobots, [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] and [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] took command of the Decepticons and led a contingent back to Earth, which included Brawl, where they formed an alliance with the [[Earth Defense Command]] against the Autobots. {{storylink|Earthfall Part 1: Hello Cruel World}} Back on Cybertron, with Metroplex's installation as Cybertron's new capital, Onslaught and many other disgruntled Decepticons chose to live in slums outside the city instead. When they caught Optimus Prime making his way through their territory, many of them formed a mob and attacked him. {{storylink|City of Steel (issue)|City of Steel}} Blast Off joined the riot for Metroplex's space bridge under Swindle's claims that a better life was possible on [[Caminus]]. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} Swindle himself would be blasted in the back by Starscream in order to keep him from revealing his role in the attack on Caminus, and apparently expired. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Onslaught later skulked by as a group of Camiens were passing out fliers regarding Optimus Prime's divinity in the district. Brawl returned from Earth at this time to help rally the Decepticons for Galvatron's campaign. {{storylink|The Transgressors}} The Combaticons soon reunited and stewed over Starscream's leadership. Upon throwing an energon canister at a viewscreen promoting Starscream's success in uniting some of the lost colonies, Onslaught declared that they wouldn't let Starscream forget the past, not without having to go through them first. They sprayed "SWINDLE LIVES" on a wall {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} thanks to Onslaught being informed by an anonymous informant, "[[DC-357]]", that Swindle was alive and had damaging info on Starscream. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Brawl, Blast Off, and Vortex got Onslaught a new grenade in light if the newly declared "Chosen One Day". {{storylink|Choose Me}}

Brawl rejoined [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]] and [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] to prepare for Galvatron's conquest of Earth. Brawl and Needlenose led a team of Decepticons, including Onslaught, to the Space Bridge nexus, where they transported aboard the ''[[Ark-7]]'' to overpower the Autobots in Earth orbit. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}} Brawl, Onslaught and the Decepticons engaged Arcee, [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sideswipe]] and [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] before the ship crashed into Shanghai, China. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} The Earth Defense Command's "mindbomb" felled several of the Decepticons within the first minute of the battle. After the Chinese Mecha Force began tearing through the Decepticons, Brawl was taken through the space bridge by Ironhide, but began fighting his way through the Autobots in a panic and reignited the fight at the other end. Barely surviving an attack by [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], he and several Decepticons were able to slip away. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

Onslaught continued to search the underbelly of Cybertron for the missing Swindle, and as the [[Badgeless]] began to brutalise Decepticons for information, he became sure DC-357 was onto something. However, the other Combaticons, particularly Blast Off, became worried he was too focused on finding Swindle, costing them paying jobs. The idea of dropping the search made Onslaught storm off in a huff, failing to notice a new message from DC-357. Blast Off did catch it, however, and soon he donned a Badgeless disguise, joined a patrol, and as soon as he got a chance he shot a Decepticon dead and sent footage of it to the press. {{storylink|07:00:00}} With riots breaking out, Vortex and Brawl were eager to join in, but Onslaught held them back until Blast Off returned. Onslaught suspected the situation was orchestrated by Starscream so that the colonists would be made to turn against their cause, until Blast Off admitted to doing the killing by following DC-357's suggestion to provoke an uprising. Onslaught hit upon a sneaky plan: he started a large protest that marched on Starscream to shake the tree and see what happened, and when what happened was Ironhide was made head of the cops and opened them up to anyone who wanted. Onslaught then started a fight so that Blast Off could 'stop him' and 'denounce' his plans, thus getting into the police as someone Ironhide would trust. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}}

Blast Off was able to use his position to eventually uncover surveillance footage of [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Wheeljack]] and [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] taking Swindle. While Onslaught took Brawl and went to Rattrap's, Blast Off and Vortex barged into Wheeljack's home, and ultimately threatened to kill [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] unless Wheeljack talked. Wheeljack admitted that he and Rattrap had tried to save Swindle, but he was currently brain dead. Onslaught was unperturbed by Swindle's condition, and forced Rattrap to retrieve the [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} Onslaught used the Enigma on himself and his team, forming [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], hoping that he might be able to access the dirt Swindle had on Starscream. As Bruticus rampaged through Iacon, within the combiner's psyche, Vortex reveled in the power that they wielded as Bruticus, Brawl was wallowing in pain after feeling Swindle's death, and Blast Off struggled to keep them all together. Eventually Onslaught found what he was looking for, and he, Brawl and Vortex began reveling in their path of destruction despite Blast Off's protests. Though [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] tried to appeal to the Combaticon combiner to help her take down Starscream with their evidence, it was to no avail. Eventually Ironhide was forced to fire a rocket at Bruticus' head, and the shock forced the Combaticons to disconnect. Windblade frantically tried to get the Combaticons to wake up to share what they had learned, but failed. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

The Combaticons were imprisoned and awaiting trial, though Ironhide was reluctant to prosecute them if their mental scarring proved too great. {{storylink|Ping}} They were still comatose when Starscream told the [[Eukaris|Eukarian]] [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgeon]] [[Airachnid (G1)|Airachnid]] to turn them to his side as one of his combiners. Though the Combaticons minds had imprinted on each other during their combination, making them susceptible to the process, one of the Combaticons was required to be aware of the deception in order to cover any holes in their story should the others get suspicious. Blast Off was chosen and bribed into accepting the deal after Starscream reminded him that Onslaught would never let the past go or ever take any real interest in him. As a result, the others Combaticons were made to believe that Onslaught's original deal with Starscream had worked out, with them having been his secret and loyal bodyguards, and that their forming of Bruticus had been a last-ditch attempt to save Swindle's life with Starscream's approval. Starscream informed Ironhide that Airachnid would be testifying that the Combaticons had not been responsible for their actions as Bruticus. {{storylink|The Price of You}} Soon the Combaticons "resumed" their work of protecting Starscream, and Onslaught and Blast Off arranged a date. Shortly afterwards, Swindle was restored, with his memories manipulated as well. {{storylink|If I Know You}}

The Combaticons later provided security for the ceremony to welcome Earth into the Council of Worlds. When [[Iron Ring|a group of human assailants]] attacked, the Combaticons mobilised to fight back and evacuate Starscream. {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}}

Onslaught and Vortex later ushered Circuit and Longtooth out of the Council chambers during Windblade's official return to her post, with Vortex daring the two reporters to resist. When Windblade invited people to speak with her one-on-one during her campaign to become the new leader of Cybertron, Brawl was an unexpected supporter of her war-free vision. Vortex and Blast Off later stood guard outside Starscream's office as Windblade confronted Starscream, and Blast Off was disturbed at Vortex's ideas for what they were doing. During the final debate, Starscream revealed all of his crimes to the public, including the manipulation of the Combaticons. As a result, all of the Combaticons were imprisoned for their rampage as Bruticus, and Blast Off was ostracized by the others for his role in their manipulation. {{storylink|The Chosen One}}

The Combaticons were a [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] special ops unit created by [[Magnum]] to take out the various [[Decepticon leader|leaders]] of the new Decepticon faction, in the hopes of ending the war quickly. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}} After they ended up getting captured by [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], the silver-tongued Decepticon manipulated the Combaticons to join him so they could prove their superiority over the rest of the Elite Guard. In return, he modified them so they could combine into Bruticus. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 4}}

They attacked Elite Guard HQ, using their new combined form {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 5}} and managed to slaughter most of the Elite Guard defenders, until [[Dion (G1)|Dion]] injured the giant, forcing them to separate. They departed the scene, assuming everyone to be dead. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 6}} Returning to Deathsaurus's base, they underwent repairs, though they were startled to learn that Deathsaurus could control their merging remotely. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} As the remnants of the Elite Guard tried to attack the base, the Combaticons joined the other Decepticons in defending it. However, as they tried to merge into Bruticus, they were blasted by some new arrivals {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}} who were, it turned out, even more survivors of the massacre. Blast Off was captured and bound by [[Side Burn (RID)|Side Burn]], meaning the Combaticons were unable to form Bruticus for the rest of the battle. After Deathsaurus called a retreat, the team was slow to comply, and as a result were captured by the Elite Guard. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}}

In the hands of the compromised [[Gyronian Sentry|Gyronian Sentry Team]], the Combaticons were whisked away to Deathsaurus's fortress, now under Megatron's control. Though Megatron gave them the option, none of them cared to help Deathsaurus, and they were imprisoned and their personality components subsequently interred in the Decepticon Detention Center. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}}

===''Kre-O'' online manga===
[[File:Kre-O Combaticons.jpg|thumb]]

Summoned by [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]] to act as his elite squad (whose first mission, of course, was to overthrow [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]]), Onslaught, Brawl, Swindle, and a repainted Vortex rolled onto the scene. After they all declared their specialties, Onslaught, Brawl, and Swindle were irritated when Vortex offered to stay behind and guard the base. Even though the Combaticons combined into Bruticus, Vortex's constant worry for the base's safety compelled the team to withdraw. When Starscream, under imminent threat of a beating from Megatron, contacted the team to demand to know where they were, the Combaticons happily informed their illustrious leader they were all protecting the base together. Aww. {{Storylink|New Military Unit Combaticon! Bruticus, Combine!}}

Swindle was able to steal [[Metroplex (Kre-O)|Metroplex]]'s [[transformation cog]], but his looking forward to being rewarded was interrupted when the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] tracked him down to take back his loot. The Combaticons combined to form Bruticus, but were defeated by the Protectobots' own combined form, [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], and taken back to the Autobot base to have his injuries treated by the gentle [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]]. {{storylink|Bad at Fighting?

:As a [[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]-style [[combiner]] team, the Combaticon team includes four small toys, sold carded at the $5 price point, and one large leader toy, sold boxed for $12 or so and including all the combiner [[kibble]]. They were available as part of the 1986 and 1987 assortments. In most markets, the Combaticons were only sold as individuals; the combined [[giftset]] was only available in Japan and Italy.

:Like their counterparts, the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], the four small Combaticons feature unique transformation schemes. All have attachable weapons for their vehicle modes. Posability varies from figure to figure; Brawl and Swindle have knee and "elbow" joints (their shoulder joints are halfway down their arms), but their legs are conjoined at the knees. Blast Off and Vortex feature an early use of [[ball joint]]s in their shoulders, giving them near-universal range of motion, but are otherwise similarly limited.

:Like the other three original Scramble City teams, the small limbs can attach to [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s robot mode, while the leader can be used to make an additional ramp/platform for Metroplex or [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]].

:All five Combaticons were later available as part of the [[Europe]]an ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line in 1991.

:The Combaticon molds have been frequently redecoed (and slightly retooled) over the years; they have been used to make ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (toyline)|Operation Combination]]'' [[Battle Gaia]], [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Ruination (RID)|Ruination]], and ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Ruination. They are also a favorite for [[Knockoff|bootleg]] toy manufacturers to copy, sometimes sold with bizarre new names like [[Onslaught (G1)|Tugging Gun]], [[Swindle (G1)|Copter]], [[Blast Off (G1)|Secpmdary]], [[Onslaught (G1)|Steel Generals]], and [[Blast Off (G1)|Secondary Brain]].

The stock photography shows Blast Off and Vortex as arms and Swindle and Brawl as legs. Notably, he is the first 'classic' combiner in the [[Combiner_Wars_(toyline)|Combiner Wars]] series to not have a 'replacement' member. Continuing the aforementioned theme, however, Blast Off is a jet instead of a space shuttle or a tank. Shockwave transforms into the combiner robot's handheld weapon.

:Orinigally there were plans to have a running change in Onslaught's colors; initial shipments were to feature the Bruticus chest cast in silver for a Bruticus-accurate color scheme, while a tan Onslaught-accurate color scheme was also revealed. However, the tan variant never made it to retail.

[[File:G1OddCombat.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Floro Dery does odd things.]]
*The [[character model]]s for the Combaticons, moreso than pretty much any other characters in the first two seasons of the cartoon, look ''very'' little like their toys. The existence of a second, earlier set of models for the team (pictured at right) indicates that, like the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], their animated appearances were designed based on early concept artwork or prototype designs for the toys. Both models and toys were then separately revised, resulting in finished designs for both that owed little to each other. Unlike the Stunticons, however, the finished Combaticons models ''do'' replace the original head designs with toy-accurate ones, which were likely based on the figures' [[package art]].

'''When a small crew of maintenance Autobots comes into possession of the powerful AllSpark, a battle with their long-forgotten enemies sends them crashing toward a strange, distant planet known as... ''Earth.'''''

==Synopsis==
===Part 1===
In deep, deep space, [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] watches a history vid of the [[Great War (Animated)|Great War]], prompting [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] to complain about him watching that "junk" when the other members of the crew need assistance. Prime wonders if they were designed for more than repairing [[space bridge]]s. The two 'Bots transform into their vehicle modes and head out into the asteroid field.

[[File:TFA TFandRollout TheAllsparkdiscovered.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Well... at least there's no [[Size changing|mass-shifting]].]]
Outside, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], dangling from a high rock by his wrecking ball (and becoming quite queasy in the process), is freed by [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]], who also ends up taking a tumble. Bumblebee complains about the sheer amount of rocks blocking the space bridge node, and one is shattered unexpectedly by [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]]'s throwing star. Prime gives his troops a speech about teamwork (which Prowl moans at theatrically), but at that point the space bridge lights up, sending rocks and Autobots flying. Fancy footwork by Optimus saves each of his teammates from the debris, and a well-aimed grappling line shuts down the bridge. With his subordinates stunned at their leader's skills, Prime is forced to admit he trained at [[Autobot Academy|Cybertron's military academy]]. Bumblebee's query as to what the heck he's doing on a nowhere maintenance assignment is left unanswered as they notice something glowing in the rubble.

Prime clears away the debris to reveal a large, chest-like object. Ratchet is horrified and immediately demands they throw it back into the space bridge, but an alert from [[Teletran-1]] announces the arrival of a signature consistent with the long-lost [[Decepticon]]s. Ratchet then insists they take the object and just get out of there post-haste.

[[File:TFA TFandRollout Decepticonship.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|Yes, this is a scout ship. Way to go, Magnanimous.]]
On board [[Teletran-1|their ship]], Ratchet finally reveals what they've found: the [[AllSpark]], the source of all Transformer life that was lost centuries ago. Optimus, worried about the oncoming Decepticon signal, contacts the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] for help. After taking a bit of snark from [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], Optimus reveals what they found, which shuts Sentinel up fast. Sentinel then puts the crew through to [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]], who tells Optimus Prime to stay put while they send reinforcements... and not to worry about that Decepticon thing. Optimus, considering this to be a really stupid move, orders the crew to start booking it out of there.

[[File:Ani crew.JPG|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Scotty, engage!]]
This proves wise, as the signal is indeed a Decepticon ship—a [[Nemesis (Animated)|command ship]], in fact. The identification markings are ones that Optimus and Ratchet recognize, meaning its commander can only be one person: [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], leader of the Decepticons. On board the Decepticon ship, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] doubts the AllSpark is aboard the Autobot ship and declares Megatron a fool. [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] denounces Starscream as a traitor, while [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] calls Lugnut an idiot for his blind loyalty and [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] just acts... well, crazy. The Decepticons continue to bicker at each other until Megatron enters, shutting up all of them. The Decepticons chase the Autobot ship, and Starscream volunteers to board them. Megatron quickly shoots that idea down, saying he'll tend to this matter personally. Just before he leaves, Starscream wishes his commander "luck" with a pat on the back... affixing a bomb to Megatron in the process.

Megatron makes his way to the Autobots' ship and begins to melt his way through its hull. Optimus uses external manipulator arms to grapple with Megatron, until the bomb detonates, sending the ship careening uncontrollably into a space bridge node, which explodes after they go through the gate. Starscream begins to make a speech declaring himself the new Decepticon leader, but the other three have abandoned ship, noting that the fireball from the space bridge explosion is only getting larger. Too late, Starscream realizes the trouble he's in...

An unknown distance away, the Autobot ship reappears above a [[Earth|small blue and green planet]]. Prime checks on his troops, but Megatron has gotten aboard, having survived the explosion, but at the cost of his right arm. Prime uses his grappling line to shut off the gravity, making it more difficult for Megatron to fight. All five Autobots face off against the Decepticon, but he's too strong (though Prowl does manage to cut off Megatron's damaged arm). Prime and Megatron both end up in the storage bay where the AllSpark is... and as the ship enters the atmosphere, Prime is able to blow the hatch and kick the screaming Megatron out of the ship.

[[File:TFA TFandRollout Arkatmosphere.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|Oddly familiar.]]
On a small farm, a young boy hears a thud and runs to where something has landed in a not-too-distant field. He is shocked to find a robotic head staring lifelessly up at him.

Meanwhile, Prime orders his team into emergency stasis pods to prepare for a crash-landing. He manages to steer the ship away from the city below and gets to a stasis pod just before the ship plunges into [[Lake Erie]].

Fifty years later, [[Detroit]] is once again a thriving city, but instead of manufacturing automobiles, robots are the city's stock-in-trade. [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]] is talking to a public school class taking a tour of his facilities, which gets interrupted by Isaac's daughter, [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari Sumdac]], and her robot dog, [[Sparkplug (robot dog)|Sparkplug]]. As Sari is carted off to her lessons by a [[Tutor Bot|robot tutor]], Isaac shows the school kids a nanotech lab, just in time to witness a roach infused with microbots grow out of control and start consuming everything in sight. Isaac tries to keep things calm, but the monster bursts out of the lab...

===Part 2===
[[File:TFA TFandRollout Firefighters monster.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Yeah, watering it will surely stop the beast.]]
The monster continues to grow, absorbing just about everything it touches to increase its size and power. In the process, it destroys a lot of the factory. [[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]], the S.W.A.T team, the fire department, ambulances, and robot drones arrive, but the creature absorbs several of the responding vehicles, too. Fanzone uses a bazooka-type weapon and destroys the beast, despite Sumdac's objection. This protest proves well-founded, as the remnants of the creature start flowing back together again, save for one piece that drops into the nearby lake and works its way down to the Autobots' ship, its nanites seeking the absorbable technology there. It infiltrates via a small breach in the outer hull, but thankfully, the ship's intruder alert systems are functional and awaken the Autobots before any damage is done. Examining the situation, they decide to have Teletran-1 give them Earth forms so they can blend in and help out. A probe is launched into the chaos and scans various vehicles, including an ambulance, a police motorcycle, an armored personnel carrier, a fire truck, and [[Captain Fanzone's car]]. Everyone deploys except Ratchet, who remains behind to analyze the sample of alien material.

[[File:TFA TFandRollout Autobots.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb|[[Avengers]], ASSEMBLE!]]
During the fight, Bulkhead and Bumblebee spot Sari trying to wrest her security key from Sparkplug's mouth. Mistaking which is owner and which is pet, they approach her, but Bulkhead's greeting only scares her away. She quickly gets nabbed by the monster, but Bumblebee saves her, earning her trust and friendship. Prowl attempts to take on the bug-slug by himself, against Prime's orders, and gets absorbed. Prime orders Ratchet to join them in battle to save Prowl, but the old veteran insists that finding a "cure" code to neutralize the nanites' programming makes more sense than coming out and getting trashed. A somewhat chastened Prime agrees, and Ratchet soon delivers the goods. However, the new program must be uploaded by direct contact—meaning from inside the monster. This means the smallest, fastest one of them has to do it. Bumblebee reluctantly takes on the task. The beast has been using some of Prowl's absorbed intelligence and comm link tech, though, so it knows what they're planning and is now smart enough to fight back. Despite this, Bumblebee succeeds in delivering the code, and the bug dissolves into a dusty shower of deactivated nanites. Prowl is soon uncovered, but he's suffered grave wounds and must be taken back to the Autobots' ship for repairs. Sari pesters Bumblebee to be taken along, and her new friend reluctantly agrees, since there's no time to make her go away quietly.

[[File:TFA TFandRollout Sari followedmehome.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Bumblebee, having a pet is a big responsibility.]]
Once on board, Sari's refusal to stay still and quiet causes 'Bee some embarrassment. He quickly and discreetly ejects her into a ventilation port and joins the others. However, the port opens onto a shaft that takes Sari right to the chamber where the AllSpark is being kept. Curious, she touches it, and it reacts to her, sending its energies into her security card key and reconfiguring it into [[AllSpark Key|a key of another sort entirely]]. Prime finds her almost immediately thereafter, but with no time left to spare away from Prowl, he has to bring her back with him to the repair table. Ratchet's prognosis is bleak, but the [[AllSpark Key]] abruptly reacts, glowing and tugging her toward Prowl. Bumblebee, seeming to grasp what's happening, helps her onto the table, and as she approaches, her Key reshapes itself to fit into a slot on Prowl's chest. She inserts it, and with a burst of energy, the Autobot ninja is whole again. The Autobots then take Sari home and, after a brief misunderstanding, are made heroes and are even invited to a ceremony.

In outer space, Starscream sits aboard the damaged but functional Decepticon ship, babbling that he will find the AllSpark, even though he's been attempting it on his own for the last fifty solar cycles. The ship's computers then detect the traces of AllSpark-like energy in action, and Starscream learns where the Autobots are...
{{-}}

===Part 3===
[[File:Sariprime.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|INSERT WHAT WHERE?!]]
The Autobots are later seen trying to fit in. Bulkhead gets firsthand experience in traffic jams, some birds mistake Prowl for the statue of the [[wikipedia:Hazen S. Pingree|bald guy]] next to him, Bumblebee learns how organics fuel up, and Ratchet can't get a stasis nap without getting a dozen or so parking tickets. Optimus Prime remarks that the Autobots are programmed to respect life, which they always understood to stem from the AllSpark, but as organics are life, they must respect and protect them too. Optimus also expresses curiosity about how little organics are made. Sari's whispered explanation leaves him rather... shocked. The Autobots make a [[Autobot Earth Base|new home base]] out of a building Sari's dad got out of a merger, an abandoned auto factory that Bumblebee describes as a real fixer-upper—a REAL fixer-upper. All of a sudden, they get alerted to a fire. The Autobots proceed to douse the blaze and save its victims, no problem, unaware they are being watched by Starscream.

The next day, during the inauguration ceremony for the Sumdac [[Fully Automated Rapid Transit System]] (F.A.R.T.S., for short), Starscream enters Earth's atmosphere and takes on a group of fighter jets. He destroys all but one, which he scans. As the civilians and Autobots watch the aerial display of the [[Crimson Angels]], Isaac Sumdac notices there is an extra jet present that he didn't hire. That one jet then leaves the formation and streaks toward the ceremony platform, where it transforms into Starscream, who fires his null-ray cannons at the Autobots.

After a short fight, which the Autobots lose, Starscream knocks out Bumblebee and takes him, Isaac, the mayor, and Capt. Fanzone hostage in the F.A.R.T.S. train, flying it to the top of a very tall tower. He demands that the Autobots deliver the AllSpark if they want him to release the train car. The Autobots don't trust him, but don't want to risk human lives, so Sari offers a plan, but they ignore her. She continues to tell a sob story until the Autobots listen. The Autobots proceed with her plan, and Prowl and Sari fly up to the transit pod to rescue the hostages while the other Autobots keep Starscream busy. Once Starscream realizes what's happening, he takes a brief beating but recovers quickly. Starscream then throws the train—thus keeping his end of the deal—with Sari, Prowl, and Bumblebee on top of/in it. Between Bumblebee's agility and Prowl's thrusters plus Ratchet's magnets, Sari is rescued and the train lands without much damage. The Autobots then challenge Starscream to a friendly game of Keep Away, during which Starscream almost gets the AllSpark, but Bulkhead gets it instead, because he said he got it. A furious Starscream unleashes a devastating, prolonged (as in nearly 12 seconds) null-ray blast on the Autobots, briefly knocking them all senseless.

[[File:TFA TFandRollout Prime SS Allsparkactivates.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|In the old days, [[The Touch]] would have started playing now.]]
With the Autobots down, Starscream takes the AllSpark from Optimus and blows a couple of blocks of Detroit right off the map. Not ready to give up, Optimus climbs all the way up a building to get it back from Starscream, which Starscream doesn't see coming because he was too busy gloating. After a quick back-and-forth exchange of possessing it, both grab it at the same time. As they struggle, the AllSpark opens and emits a strange energy wave that blasts Starscream away.

The explosion has left Prime dangling precariously, and he takes a tremendous plummet to the pavement. He notes weakly that he now knows what it feels like to be a hero, then dies, but Sari uses the AllSpark Key to revive him.<ref>[[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|This is something of an Optimus Prime record]]: Dead after only three episodes, revived a mere 75 seconds later. Way to go.</ref> The Autobots later go about fixing up Detroit, earning the enduring gratitude of the citizenry. Professor Sumdac is also grateful, for the Autobots saved him and Sari, but he fears what will happen if the Autobots—not to mention the rest of the world—were to discover the source of his robotic empire.

Unseen by Sumdac, one of the [[Sensors|optics]] of his source of technology glows in a darkened room. Megatron still functions...

==Notes==
===Animation or technical glitches===
*Megatron's vehicle mode was depicted flying upside-down, or backwards, or possibly both. To be fair, in space, there is no up and down (and to be even fairer, it's really hard to tell from the toys exactly what ''is'' the front of Megatron's Cybertronian spaceship mode), but that does not excuse the fact that any propulsion system used would be in the ''back'' of the mode.
*When the Autobot get into the stasis pods, Prime, Bulkhead, and Ratchet are on the left side, with Bumblebee, Prowl, and an empty pod on the right, in that order. Yet when they get out later in the episode, Prime, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead are on the left, and the empty one, Prowl, and Ratchet on the right.
*As pre-Earth Prime enters the chamber which will re-format his body into his Earth mode, he walks past Ratchet, who is drawn mostly in his pre-Earth mode, except for the fact that his Cybertronian gut is replaced with his ambulance gut. In the next scene, Ratchet is properly drawn, pre-Earth gut and all.
*When Sari says to the Autobots it is okay to put down their hands, Bulkhead's face is black.
*When Bulkhead removes the Allspark from Ratchet's vehicle mode, at one frame his black outlining on his right arm vanishes and later reappears one frame later
*When Starscream tackles Optimus Prime through a building as the Autobot tries to escape with the AllSpark, Optimus's axe is missing from Starscream's left wing. It reappears moments later for Optimus to retrieve it.
*In at least one scene, Starscream's Earth-form wing is shown with a spike, in the same manner as his Cybertronian body.
*When Optimus' chest closes up after his Spark is restored, the wide 'spark cover' section is not seen flipping back down. It disappears when his windows close back over his spark.

===Continuity errors===
*There was a pretty big continuity error evident in the show's very premise that nobody really picked up on, which was: if the AllSpark was the source of Transformer life, and it was jettisoned into space at the end of the Great War, and most of Prime's crew weren't ''alive'' during the Great War... how did they come on-line? Despite the fact that nobody was asking the question, the ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|AllSpark Almanac II]]'' guidebook provided the answer by revealing that there is also a version of [[Vector Sigma]] in the ''Animated'' universe that could also grant life.
*The train Starscream blasts from the tower falls toward the ground very, very slowly.
*When we first meet Starscream, he states that he has been searching for the AllSpark for fifty ''solar'' cycles. In later episodes, a solar cycle is equivalent to a day and a ''stellar'' cycle is used for years. This is the only time a solar cycle has been used to reference years, so either Starscream entered some sort of temporal anomaly or someone messed up. For more <s>confusion</s> information, see [[Cycle|this page]].
*Sumdac is using Megatron's hand as a chair. However, he seems to be using the right hand, which was blown up by Starscream. (It ''could'' have fallen off the Autobots' ship, as it was still clinging to the hull when last seen, but that seems unlikely.)
*From Isaac Sumdac's monologue, it seems he ''somehow'' knows the source of this technology has some relation to the Decepticons. But, not only he has no way of knowing that, he [[Blast from the Past|later]] believes Megatron when he presents himself as an Autobot.
**Or, when he expresses his concerns, he could just have meant him dissecting one of their kind.

===Transformers references===
*The title of the episode itself is a [[Roll out|reference to past Transformers lore]].
*Footage from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] episodes "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]" and "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" is used as history tapes detailing the events of the first [[Great War (Animated)|Great War]], millions of years prior. [[Canon|This]] has been confirmed as purely an in-joke, and should not be taken as linking ''Animated'' to G1, continuity wise.
*The [[Teletran-1|Autobot ship]] here bears a distinct resemblance to the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], albeit with a colour scheme more reminiscent of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. (As we learn [[A Bridge Too Close, Part II|much later]], there is [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|a very good reason for that]].)
*Bumblebee says "[[Rattrap (BW)|We're all gonna die.]]"
*Sari's robotic dog [[Sparkplug (robot dog)|Sparkplug]] is likely named after either [[Sparkplug Witwicky]] from G1, the ''Armada'' Mini-Con [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]], or both.
[[File:Spikecarlydanielanimated.jpg|right|upright=0.85|thumb|Twenty years later, and they're still overdressed.]]
*Characters resembling [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]], [[Carly]], and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] are seen at a hot dog stand, purchasing some sort of futuristic bunless wieners-on-a-stick. The characters went on to become recurring figures in the background cast of the show, and in "[[Garbage In, Garbage Out]]" it was revealed that their names were... [[Spike Witwicky (Animated)|Spike]], [[Carly Witwicky (Animated)|Carly]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (Animated)|Daniel Witwicky]].
*When Optimus Prime dies, his body fades to grays, just as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Generation 1 Optimus Prime]] did in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. His spark chamber opens in much the same manner as well.
*Teletran-1 (spelled with only one "a" in this universe) dispatches a small satellite very similar to the [[Sky Spy]] satellite used on occasion by the Autobots in the ''Generation 1'' cartoon. The glowing energy "boxes" with which it scans vehicles for the Autobots to transform into are lifted wholesale out of "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]".
*At one point, Bulkhead refers to Optimus as "Boss-bot", echoing an epithet used for ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] by the [[Fuzor]] [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]], and also used by Cheetor refer to Optimus Primal. Bumblebee also calls Optimus "Big-bot", again a term used by Cheetor to refer to Optimus.

===Real world references===
*In this episode, [[Tutor Bot]] tries to teach Sari about the [[wikipedia:Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act|Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act]], a major economic blunder of the 1930s.
*In this episode, Starscream's engines use a sound effect borrowed from ''The Phantom Menace'': the sound made by Sebulba's podracer engines.
*When Prowl gets birdpooped on, he is standing next to a statue of [[wikipedia:Hazen S. Pingree|Hazen S. Pingree]], four-term mayor of Detroit and one-time governor of Michigan. In real life, the statue is located in Detroit's Grand Circus Park.
*A refurbished Michigan Central Station makes an appearance as the site for the dedication of Detroit's rapid transit system. The real-life station (abandoned since the '80s) was featured in the [[Transformers (film)|2007 live-action movie]].
*When Optimus comes back to life, he asks, "Is this the [[Well of All Sparks]]?" and Sari answers, "No, it's Detroit." This is an allusion to the movie ''Field of Dreams'', in which Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta) asks Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner), "Is this Heaven?" and Ray answers, "No, it's Iowa."
*In the Japanese dub, Bumblebee mentions ''Rescue Fire'', which is another [[TakaraTomy]] property that's based on Takara's Tomica toy car line. Prior to ''Animated''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Japanese debut, it aired in the same timeslot and channel as ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Galaxy Force]]'' did.
*The Crimson Angels are a reference to the [[wikipedia:Blue Angels|Blue Angels]].

===Trivia===
*Bumblebee's voice is slightly different in this episode from how it sounds later, as is Lugnut's voice, which seems very metallic.
*When mocking the Autobots, Starscream actually calls Megatron "the great Megatron" without any sarcasm. Apparently, he'll only give a sincere compliment to his leader when he's insulting something else. Either that or he's just trying to make ''himself'' sound more impressive by building up the reputation of the one he's defeated.
*According to responses at a panel at BotCon 2008, the unfortunate acronym for Fully Automated Rapid Transit System was totally unintentional...which makes it that much funnier.
*Ratchet is able to use his front windshield as a video screen.
*Several elements present in this opener were changed/dropped in the main series, including expressive vehicle modes, the replacement of solar cycles with stellar cycles in terminology, the recolouring of Ratchet's magnetism from yellow to pink, and Sari's Key changing shape. However, the expressions on vehicle mode were briefly used again by [[Wasp]] in the episode "[[Predacons Rising (Animated)|Predacons Rising]]".
*During [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari's]] "conversation" with the [[AllSpark]], it shows her the faces of Ultra Magnus, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Starscream, then the Cybertronian [[Alternate mode|vehicle modes]] for Optimus and Ratchet, the AllSpark's case and the [[Teletran-1|Autobots' ship]]. Then Sari unknowingly shows the AllSpark a man and a woman in suits, a boy, the planet [[Earth]], pyramids, purple flowers, a horse, an aircraft with a giant cloud coming from the back, a cell and a DNA strand. The woman has dark skin and red hair like Sari.
*This movie was (lovingly) lampooned at the [[MSTF]] panel for [[BotCon 2008]], along with "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]", the episode from which most of the "history vid" footage was taken.
*It's Detroit. There are guns everywhere. Why are the humans using ''water'' to take down the monster?
*Remarkably, when Optimus Prime's ship began free falling towards Detroit and crashed into Lake Erie, it did not catch one human bystander's attention, even in the dead of night. Now that's a city that sleeps.
*In addition, the giant yellow ship went unnoticed at the bottom of the lake for 50 years straight.
*This episode was adapted in comic book format using screen captures as "[[Transformers Animated Volume 1]]".

::*'''Cut:''' Ratchet's poking back at Optimus wanting to see some action, Bumblebee pointing out they're repair bots, Optimus requesting a link with Cybertron Command Headquarters and Bulkhead impressed by it.
::*[[Teletran-1]] now speaks as though "she" is in a state of perpetual orgasm.
::*When the Autobots first happen upon the ''[[Nemesis (Animated)|Nemesis]]'' and all freak over [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], a new [[scene transition]] is added when transitioning into the discussion between the Decepticon forces. A guitar riff of the classic Generation 1 scene transition music is even used.
::*[[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]]'s personae now speak with thick American accents, and spout English words like "Hey!" and "Man!"
::*New [[commercial bumper]]s have been crafted, featuring stock art of the characters with their voice actors screaming their name, followed by "Transform!"
::*'''Cut:''' [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]'s entire speech on the bridge ("This is a dark day...") followed by him getting caught in the explosion.
::*When Bulkhead tumbles into Optimus, following his line "A little warning would have helped!", he screams out "Mommyyyyyyy!" Yeah, Japanese Bulkhead ain't so smart.
::*'''Cut:''' After Megatron is kicked from the ship, the establishing shots of Paw Paw (the street sign, the outside of the barn and the scroll across [[Isaac Sumdac (Animated)|Isaac Sumdac]]'s lab).
::*'''Cut:''' Following Prime's line "Not until I've steered us clear of this populated sector!", the brief scenes of the Autobots being sealed in their stasis pods.
::*'''Cut:''' As soon as the ship crashes into Lake Eerie and leaves a stream of upturned water on the surface, the scenes of the ship sinking and Teletran-1 "initiating emergency stasis mode" on the pods as they turn grey. The episode resumes at the long shot of the sinking ship slowly coming toward the camera, with a new voice-over of Teletran-1 telling the Autobots "good night".
::*'''Cut:''' As Isaac Sumdac narrates the history of Detroit and automaton manufacturing, the scene of the trash-collecting automaton has been cut.
::*'''Cut:''' The scenes of [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]] pulling the bubblegum off her face, eating it, the crowd reacting in disgust, Isaac Sumdac reacting in frustration, the kid asking Sari what its like to grow up around robots and [[Tutor Bot]] hauling Sari off.
::*'''Cut:''' After the cockroach absorbs the nanobot liquid, all the scenes involving Isaac Sumdac explaining the nanobots to the children and the children looking through microscopes at the nanobots. The sequence cuts to the roach growing bigger.
::*'''Cut:''' The close-up of Isaac Sumdac saying "Nothing to be concerned about, children!" and the kid remarking that "This accident doesn't look too happy". The sequence cuts to the roach crashing through the window behind him.
::*The Otoboto Family segment features [[Hiroyuki Otoboto]] telling his son, [[Tatsuya Otoboto]], about ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'', complete with clips from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", as well as a brief musical clip from the songs "Time Bomb Town" (by Lindsey Buckingham, from the ''Back To The Future'' soundtrack) and "Fairy Godmother Song" (from the ''Shrek 2'' soundtrack). Mr. Otoboto then produces a complete set of ''Animated'' Autobot toys. Tatsuya is thrilled, but wouldn't ya know it? [[Megumi Otoboto|Mrs. Otoboto]] comes in with dinner! During mealtime conversation, Mrs. Otoboto makes the mistake of using the word "transform", which inevitably causes Tatsuya to start talking about Transformers, much to the amusement of his father and the annoyance of his older sister, [[Yūka Otoboto|Yūka]]. Tatsuya then causes a "freeze frame" so that he can introduce himself and his family (messing with his father's glasses in the process for his own amusement). Oddly, despite being "frozen", everyone proceeds to blink. As time resumes its normal pace, Hiroyuki wonders what happened to his glasses. He then digs into his dinner, except, oh no! It's too hot! ''Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!''
::*During the "next episode" segment, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee proceed to have an argument. Bumblebee thinks Optimus's name is too long and hard to remember. Bumblebee suggests that "[[Convoy (rank)|Convoy]]" would be better, but Prime shoots the idea down immediately. Bumblebee opts to call him "Opti" (''Oputi''), since it has fewer syllables. Prime refuses to be called such a name (more fitting for a dog), so Bumblebee settles on "Pu-Pu" after "Opera" (''Opura'') is also rejected for sounding weird. Prime refuses that too, thinking it sounds cute, but that it would be hard not to laugh instinctively at it. Bumblebee then tricks Prime into answering to it, which frustrates him even ''further''. The argument proceeds ''past'' the "next episode" segment and straight into the sponsor cards.

:*''Title:'' "'''Eiyū, sono Na wa Autobot'''" (英雄、その名はオートボット, "The Heroes Are Called Autobots")
:*''Original airdate:'' [[April 10|10 April]] [[2010]]

::*Hiroyuki and Tatsuya Otoboto tell the viewers in unison to watch the episode in a well-lit room (with Hiroyuki giving a creepy wink at the end).
::*Instead of Optimus introducing at the opening, Bumblebee introduces himself and tells viewers to listen to [[JAM Project]]'s [[Transformers Evo.|cool song]].
::*'''Cut:''' The rush of emergency vehicles driving through the city, alongside the following scene of Fanzone getting into his car, preparing to enjoy lunch at Burger Bot, and receiving the emergency call before departing.
::*'''Cut:''' Fanzone arriving at Sumdac laboratories, his little dilemma with the broken megaphone, and his first directions to the police force.
::*Optimus now has "Ultra Jump" added to his "arsenal" as he distracts the nano-monster.
::*Bulkhead now says "''dosukoi''" on occasion, a word usually used by [[Wikipedia:Sumo|sumo wrestlers]].
::*'''Cut:''' The left-to-right pan of the ruined laboratory where the tour had taken place.
::*'''Cut:''' Much of the flying debris from the monster falling into the ocean.
::*During the [[trans-scan]]ning, Teletran-1 announces the type of vehicle being scanned and the Autobots as they are reformatted.
::*'''Cut:''' Fanzone noticing the four vehicles confronting the monster and attempting to call them back before noticing that they are unmanned and include his own car.
::*'''Cut:''' Immediately after the previous cut, the scene where Bulkhead and Bumblebee attempt to converse with the police drones while fighting the monster.
::*The joke on Sari's name—"I'm Bumblebee." "I'm Sari." "Oh, don't be. I like my name." "No, I mean my name is..."—is somewhat altered. Instead, Bumblebee "corrects" her that ''he's'' not named "Sari" (the pun involving "I'm Sari" sounding like "I'm sorry" not working in the Japanese language, obviously).
::*'''Cut:''' After Bumblebee takes Sari into the parking garage, Fanzone's and Dr. Sumdac's observation of Bumblebee and his unknown purposes, and the ordering the police drones to save Sari.
::*Bumblebee counts off while disabling the police drones, and he has an extra line even though his mouth doesn't move.
::*'''Cut:''' Ratchet's comment on Optimus being a "typical [[Autobot Academy|Academy Bot]]", along with a shot of the computer analysis of the monster.
::*'''Cut:''' Sari's gasp when Bumblebee is jumping at the monster.
::*When Sari reassures Ratchet that humans "don't usually blow up things" with emergency symbols, Ratchet comments about being treated kindly.
::*'''Cut:''' After Dr. Sumdac shakes hands with Optimus at the ceremony, Optimus's comment regarding not being a hero, his question to Ratchet about things being "like this in your day", and Ratchet's rather ominous response.
::*'''Cut:''' After the ceremony, the foreshadowing scene in which Starscream is seen monologuing in the crashed ''Nemesis'' on the Moon.
::*For the Otoboto family segment, Hiroyuki and Tatsuya are playing on the living room carpet with their toys (Hiroyuki and his Optimus Prime against Tatsuya and his Bumblebee). Filled with nostalgia, Hiroyuki begins describing the Autobots and the roles of each character to the audience, only to have Tatsuya beat him to the punch by ending all his sentences. Suddenly, they hear a crashing sound coming from the kitchen. Hiroyuki and Tatsuya rise to the occasion, shout "Transform!" and "change" into Optimus Prime and Megatron t-shirts (accompanied by their own dramatic "transformation" sequences). But before they can battle the forces of Evil stirring up trouble in the kitchen, they first have to sit back down on the living room floor and transform their toys into vehicle mode. (So, what if there was a burglar beating your wife, dude?) As Hiroyuki completes the transformation of his Optimus toy, we are assured that the "adventure" of the Otoboto family will be continued next episode.
::*In the "next episode" segment, Bulkhead asks Ratchet about the name "Transformers Animated", and Bulkhead then mistakenly tells viewers to watch "Transformers Anime". Ratchet later jokes about shortening the title to "Tra-Ani" because the original title is a bit long.

'''Japanese (Part 3)'''
:*''Title:'' "'''AllSpark no Himitsu'''" (オールスパークの秘密, "Secret of the AllSpark")
:*''Original airdate:'' [[April 17|17 April]] [[2010]]

::*This time, it's mother and daughter, Megumi and Yūka Otoboto, who tell viewers to watch the episode in a well-lit room.
::*Starscream does the intro in a rather...perky manner.
::*'''Cut:''' The ''whole'' sequence of the Autobots integrating themselves into Detroit: Bulkhead walking through rush hour traffic, Prowl's encounter with the birds' "present", Bumblebee ordering at Burger Bot, Ratchet getting ticketed for napping in a no-parking zone, Sari traumatizing Optimus on human reproduction, and the Autobots checking out their new "home".
::*During the sequence in which the Autobots are responding to the building fire, there are some additional lines and a tweak: The entire team sound off their names while heading on scene; Bumblebee jokes about calling in [[Rescue Fire]], to which Bulkhead responds by breaking the fourth wall, "That's a different show"; and the news reporter's coverage/praise of the Autobots doesn't mention "Detroit" by name and lasts until the scene changes to Starscream watching from the ''Nemesis''.
::*Sumdac says "480" on introducing the F.A.R.T.S.'s speed, which makes sense, as Japan uses the metric system and 300 miles equals to 482.803 kilometers.
::*'''Cut:''' Optimus commenting to Ratchet on being constantly called "heroes" and not feeling any different than repairing space bridges before, and Ratchet's response on the grim ends of the "heroes" he's known and his reluctance to share their fates.
::*During Starscream's attack on the jet fighters, one of the pilots shouts additional "Mayday!"s, to which Starscream retorts that "It's not 'Mayday', it's Starscream! Remember it!"
::*'''Cut:''' Panning shot from the top of Michigan Central Station down to the gathered Transformers.
::*When Starscream claims he's the "new boss" (literally) of the Decepticons, Bulkhead corrects him instead of saying that he thought Megatron was in charge.
::*Extra lines: both Ratchet and Prowl after the station crumbles; Starscream has one before Prowl tricks him with a hologram and another while dragging Optimus about after Prime uses his grappling hook.
::*'''Cut:''' Optimus declaring his name after Starscream demands the AllSpark. Cuts right to Starscream tossing Bumblebee into the transit pod.
::*Starscream's gloating while circling Sumdac Tower before Optimus baits him with the AllSpark.
::*When Sumdac asks how Sari got up the tower, Prowl's line is changed from "Same way you're getting down," to "By me, father." Fanzone's "This is why I hate machines!" catchphrase during the trip down is also tweaked.
::*Fanzone seems to be screaming for his grandfather as Prowl is dropping down to the blimp.
::*Additional line for Starscream when Ratchet tries to stop him with his magnetic manipulators.
::*Add "Ultra Spray" to Optimus's list of "Ultra" attacks when he sprays Starscream with fire retardant foam twice. Oy...
::*Bumblebee has an extra line while trying to attack Starscream when the latter realizes the jig's up.
::*Prowl calls out to Bumblebee when the train is knocked over the edge, and Starscream shouts "Dual Sonic Blaster" on sending all three into free fall.
::*Joining Bumblebee's ''"Ikimasu!"'' and Bulkhead's ''"Dosukoi!"'', Prowl's verbal tic is ''"De aru!"'' (Literally, "to be" in formal speech.)
::*Bulkhead's rhetorical question on catching the train on the first bounce is changed to a vow to do his best.
::*Instead of shock absorbers, Sari asks if Bumblebee has a parachute.
::*Ratchet has "Magnet Power" as his attack call when he catches the youngest pair, Sari's "some shock absorbers" line is altered, Prowl has "They're floating." as an extra line, and Bumblebee thanks Ratchet. Optimus's "think fast" line is delayed to just as he throws the AllSpark, and the medic's "Aw, crud." line is changed to objecting on being called "gramps" by Bumblebee.
::*While Sari calls the game "Keep Away" in English, here it's changed to Tag, or 鬼ごっこ (''oni-gokko'').
::*Instead of going on how fast one can stop, Bumblebee talks about hitting the goal.
::*Bulkhead's "I said, 'I ''got'' it.'" is altered after he clocks Starscream and gets the AllSpark.
::*Starscream yells that the show isn't over yet when he attacks the Autobots again just as Optimus is contemplating on getting the AllSpark to a safe place.
::*Instead of responding that it's Detroit when Optimus asks whether he's in the Well of AllSparks, Sari just welcomes him back. Another line change is that she tells Bulkhead that humans also cry when they're happy, instead of the Autobots having much to learn about humans.
::*'''Cut:''' The news reporter covering the Autobots' rescue and repair efforts, Bumblebee commenting how they started out on fixing bridges, Sumdac's lament of his robotic empire's origin, and the camera pan to Megatron's head.
::*In this Otoboto family segment, Hiroyuki whips out his cellphone and goes into full chatting mode. Tatsuya wonders what kind of work his father does and whether it's actually work, as he usually sees Hiroyuki playing with Transformers figures almost all the time. Tatsuya then flashbacks to last week, when, after transforming their figures to vehicle mode, father and son are racing Optimus and Bumblebee before encountering Yūka's feet. Yūka thinks her father is quite the man-child and hands over a card from someone whom Hiroyuki thought passed away three years earlier.
::*The Autobots discuss their favorite sports player during the "next episode" segment, Optimus citing [[Wikipedia:Shuzo Matsuoka|Shuzo Matsuoka]] as his favorite, much to the others' disappointment. As Prime waxes poetic about Matsuoka's passion and energetic character, he doesn't realize that his teammates have already left.
