[[File:RID Aerobolt model.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.8|The early bird gets the worm, but in this case gets THE PRIME!]]

'''Aerobolt''' is the leader of the [[Weaponizer (RID)|Weaponizer]] Mini-Cons, whose admiration for [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] is what deems him worthy of protecting the Autobot leader's chest.

Aerobolt and his fellow Mini-Cons were captured by the [[Decepticon]]s in their youth and experimented on. Given the ability to combine with their larger brethren, the Mini-Cons were stored in a laboratory in [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]] until [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] stumbled on them. They managed to escape Starscream and fell in with some scavengers so they could escape [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], only to find their new hosts were heading for [[Earth]]. They set about trying to work out a way to abandon the scavengers and leave the planet. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}}

The Mini-Cons accompanied the scavengers to an automated ship to find a relic, and Aerobolt pointedly refused to power up Clawtrap.

During an ensuing fight with the scavengers, Aerobolt and his companions were snatched up by Starscream. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}}

Starscream attempted to merge with the Mini-Cons, only for it to fail because [[Tricerashot]] was missing. He was eventually able to obtain the last Mini-Con and merge with them all, however Fixit was able to activate a signal and separate Aerobolt. Aerobolt found Optimus and linked with him, providing the Autobot leader with a powerup that let him go up against the super-powered Starscream. Following the successful defeat of Starscream, Aerobolt and his fellow Mini-Cons left Earth on the sub-orbital craft, now modified by Fixit for space travel. {{storylink|Worthy}}

'''Megatron makes a bargain with a like-minded associate...'''

==Synopsis==
[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s latest attempt to conquer the planet has somehow lead him to a parallel [[Earth]], a world where the evil [[Rammatra]] leads an army of robots against the heroic forces of [[Overwatch (team)|Overwatch]]. As Rammatra's drones go down in flames, the [[Decepticon]] leader hacks into his secure channel and offers him a partnership: after all, he explains, they both fight for peace, no matter the cost. Megatron offers Rammatra advanced [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] technology that will allow him to serve as Megatron's avatar in this new world. When asked what Megatron wants in return, however, the Decepticon leader simply tells him that he'll take whatever his new associate is willing to give. As Rammatra reaches into the dimensional rift and embraces his destiny, he tells his new benefactor that he'll gladly give ''everything'' in the name of victory...

Elsewhere, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] brings [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] up to speed on Megatron's latest scheme. Together, Megatron and Rammatra are nearly unstoppable—the only way to level the playing field is if they find some heroes they can share their powers with!

'''Legout''' (レッグアウト ''Regguauto'') is the combination of the [[W Cassettebot]]s [[Dile]] and [[Zaur (G1)|Zaur]], and contains a supercomputer that records information for the [[Autobot]]s. Unlike his older brother, [[Decibel]], Legout is carefree and easily enthused. His shoulder-mounted Wave Blasters can overload Decepticon audio receptors and deafen them, which makes them ''not'' so enthused.

When Metrotitan and [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s forces returned to finish the job, Legout eagerly joined the battle. As the Decepticons beat a hasty retreat after a show of colossal power from Metroplex, [[Manta Ray (G2)|Manta Ray]] helped Legout back to his feet, which the combiner took in stride. {{Storylink|Metrowars}}

==Notes==
* In a first for the franchise, "The Maximals" was released to music streaming apps as a single on [[June 2]], a week before both the film and the album.
* Kris Diaz's name is erroneously spelt as "Chris" on the album.
* Bontemps reportedly recorded a ten-minute demo with a forty-piece orchestra on his own dime in 2021 in hopes of landing the job!<ref>"Bontemps actively sought the job and took nothing for granted. He wrote 10 minutes of music he thought might be appropriate for a “Transformers” epic and recorded it with a 40-piece orchestra at his own expense. That April 2021 recording, his demo, met with no response." - [https://variety.com/2023/artisans/news/transformers-rise-of-the-beasts-score-composer-bontemps-interview-1235636948/ Variety feature on Bontemps, 9 Jun 2023]</ref>
* During the recording of the score, Bontemps revealed on his Instagram account that his mentor Steve Jablonsky would be returning to the franchise in some way. It was later revealed that Jablonsky had assisted in writing some cues for the film, receiving three track credits in addition to an overall producer credit in the movie proper.<ref> "So I met Steve, it was a wonderful conversation and he agreed to come on board and mentor... I would run pieces of by him, he would give me his thoughts about this or that." [https://youtu.be/03oixFpqNg4?t=2844 Interview with TransMissions podcast (47:24), 22 May 2023]</ref>

Sentinel Prime (G1)

2023-06-16T01:11:05Z

:''Sentinel Prime is an [[Autobot]] leader from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Sentinel prime lou.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|Well, shoot, who wants the Matrix?]]

'''Sentinel Prime''' is an imposing figure, standing head and shoulders over the average Autobot. Bristling with some of the most heavy-duty weapons and armor available to the Autobot army has instilled in Sentinel Prime a supreme confidence in his own abilities as both a leader and a fighter. Unfortunately such pride usually precedes a fall, and there will always be [[Megatron (G1)|someone]] out there keen to prove a point, or who merely sees Sentinel Prime as an obstacle on the path to a bigger destiny.

Sentinel Prime is typically, but not always, depicted as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s immediate predecessor as [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]].

[[File:Autobot gladiator.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|You've got the pre-Touch! You've got the pre-Power! Pre-Yeah!]]
{{Note|The original cartoon version of Sentinel Prime was never named in fiction. The character is referred to as '''U-Haul Robot''' in the dialogue script for "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4" and was not given the name "Sentinel Prime" until ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' [[retcon|declared it so]] via an [[Ask Vector Prime]] entry. Likewise, the earlier appearance of "U-Haul Robot" was dubbed "Sentinel Major", giving him a pre-Matrix name.}}
'''Sentinel Major''' was originally one of the Quintessons' slave robots on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] around twelve million years ago. Unusual among his consumer goods brethren, Sentinel Major was equipped for combat and was forced to participate in [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial games]] for the Quintessons' amusement, wielding a spiked ball-and-chain weapon and a tire-shaped shield. He was once defeated in battle by [[Prima]], who attacked their Quintesson masters when their match was over, only to be destroyed himself.

Subsequently, the consumer goods robots rose up against the Quintessons in a rebellion that ultimately forced the aliens off the planet. Sentinel Major survived this clash, but he and the rest of his race—now dubbed "Autobots"—were robbed of any chance of peace when the military hardware robots, now known as "[[Decepticon]]s", set their sights on conquering Cybertron for themselves. Two [[Guardian Prime|Autobot]] [[Zeta Prime (G1)|leaders]] fell during the war that ensued, and Sentinel Major inherited the Matrix of Leadership and became '''Sentinel Prime''', leader of the Autobots. Under his leadership, the Autobots realized that they would never be able to defeat the Decepticons with firepower, and they turned instead to stealth, reconfiguring their bodies to be able to [[Transformation|transform]] into other forms. With the power of his new ability, Sentinel Prime defeated the [[Trannis|Decepticons' leader]], and the Autobots won the war.

[[File:Aubotot gladiator vehicle.jpg|left|thumb|He transforms into Rhi, the forgotten Beast Rider.]]
The ensuing period of peace was known as the [[Golden Age|Golden Age of Cybertron]], but, around nine million years BCE, the Decepticon threat re-emerged when they too adopted transformation, and coupled it with robot-mode flight powers. One of the first of this new breed of Decepticons, the malevolent [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], killed Sentinel Prime in combat. As he died, Sentinel Prime handed off the Matrix to [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], who kept it safe until the emergence of the next Autobot leader, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]].

When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] journeyed into the Matrix in 2005, Sentinel Prime was the sixth guide he encountered. Sentinel Prime recounted the development of transformation, the Autobot victory in the war and the rise of Megatron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

With [[trithyllium]] alloy armor, an [[electro-disrupter]] and a large variety of other weapons, including various forms of artillery shell, a solar energy rifle and energon-charged sword, Sentinel Prime was a giant among giants. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}

8.2 million years ago, Sentinel Prime faced Megatron on the battlefields of [[Tyrest]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide|The Ultimate Guide}} He proved no match for the Decepticon leader; with his last words, he tried in vain to reason with Megatron, but Megatron was unmoved by his "sermon and doctrine" and slew him. Sentinel, however, had considered his death a likely possibility, and had already removed the Matrix of Leadership from his body before entering battle, preventing Megatron from acquiring it. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}}

Millions of years later, during the war on Earth, the Matrix used a vision of Sentinel Prime to strengthen Optimus Prime's resolve during a battle with Megatron by confronting him with the claim that Megatron had chosen Optimus to be Prime, knowing that he was weak. Megatron's alleged influence over the Prime selection process was never substantiated. Soon after, the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] created a robotic duplicate of Sentinel Prime to confuse Optimus and undermine his confidence. Though possessing all of Sentinel Prime's considerable abilities, Optimus eventually realized that the duplicate had been created from his own memories of Sentinel Prime, and was incapable of doing anything ''new''. Optimus destroyed the duplicate of Sentinel Prime, having largely overcome his own doubts about his fitness to be Autobot leader. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}

Long ago, the [[Titan Master]] '''[[Infinitus]]''' served as a herald of his master [[Nexus Prime]]; when Nexus fell in the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]] at the hands of [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]], Infinitus joined forces with Nexus's ally, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]]. {{storylink|White Heat}} As the Primes faded into the realm of myths, Infinitus remained on Cybertron and used his Titan Master talents to control a larger body, taking on the identity of "Sentinel" to disguise his ''true'' lineage while he awaited Onyx's eventual return. In time, Sentinel decided that he would use the teachings of the Primes to bring "light" to the "tarnished world" of his birth... even if it meant killing everyone who stood in his way. {{storylink|White Light}} {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}}

[[File:MegatronOrigin1 Sentinel Prime.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|My fellow Earthicans, we enjoy so much freedom, it's almost sickening. We're free to chose which hand our sex-monitoring chip is implanted in. And if we don't want to pay our taxes, why, we're free to spend a weekend with the Pain Monster.]]

In the years before the dawn of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Sentinel had worked his way up to becoming the head of security for the [[Senate]]; {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}} unbeknownst to his employers, he secretly assembled a militia of sleeper agents, recruited from his closest informants. Using a forerunner of the infamous [[shadowplay]] technique, Sentinel conditioned them to serve him if the time ever came. {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}}

One of the duties of his security force was to go around threatening and killing people who got in the Senate's way or risked embarrassing it. Shortly after an assassination attempt on [[Nominus Prime]], he eagerly watched Senator [[Proteus (G1)|Proteus]] announcing the implementation of the "[[Clampdown (event)|Clampdown]]", which would improve security at the cost of "some of the freedoms" of the populace. He was constantly interrupted by reports that an intruder was fighting his way into the [[Grand Imperium]], defeating all the security squadrons Sentinel sent at him. Interested in seeing how things would play out, he stood by as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]] entered the Senate's chamber and confronted them over their corruption and detached relation to the populace. Proteus eventually ordered Sentinel to have him removed. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}}

As the Clampdown began, the Senate, who were behind the attack on Nominus Prime to begin with, had Sentinel try to tap into the powers of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the Prime's chest. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 3: The Chaos of Warm Things|The Chaos of Warm Things}} In the process, Sentinel discovered that the Matrix was merely a fake, and with this revelation the Senate decided they had no more use for Nominus and had him killed. They went on to spread rumours that Sentinel was showing signs of affinity for being a Prime {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} while he got to work on planning a "Decepticon terrorist attack" that would give him an excuse to round up all proto-Decepticons and send them [[Institute|off for brainwashing]]. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} While [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]] thwarted this, Sentinel's men were still able to discover that [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Senator Shockwave]] was quietly forming an army of dissident [[Outlier (group)|outliers]]. Sentinel ordered Shockwave's academy destroyed in an "accident" and Shockwave himself taken into custody. The rebellious Senator confronted Sentinel and Proteus with his knowledge of their illegal takeover of the Senate, but they were nonplussed and had him subjected to [[empurata]] and [[shadowplay|Brainwashing]]. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}} {{storylink|Shockwaves}} Orion Pax and his team had a Dead <s>Or Alive</s> warrant put on their heads. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}}

Upon assuming office, Sentinel Prime operated out of the [[Security Services Headquarters]] in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], generally regarded as "the worst place on Cybertron." By this point Sentinel had developed great disdain for government authority, irritated that they kept telling him how to ''do things'' instead of just giving him what he asked for. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} He would even claim he didn't get to set policy. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} Years later, [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] would say Sentinel took the bad Senate and made it get worse. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} He worked alongside [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]], his [[Second-in-command|lieutenant]], and didn't seem that keen on him either, viewing Prowl's methodical approach as anathema to his more straightforward and brutal tactics. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}} Sentinel also formed an [[Elite Guard]] for all the important work he wanted done and not known about, like secretly capturing a spark hot spot so it could be experimented on and the [[Functionist Council]] couldn't use it. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}} During this time, Sentinel and Prowl briefly visited [[Moonbase Two|Luna 2]] to check up on the progress of a new [[energon]] mine supervised by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}

[[File:MegatronOrigin1 Sentinel face.jpg|upright=1.5|left|thumb|I am not a crook's head!]]

Sentinel's Elite Guard clashed with Orion Pax's outlaws over the hot spot and, well, turned out not to be that elite: Sentinel hired bruisers, not people with brains. He lost the hot spot to Pax. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}}
At some point, Sentinel did something later remembered as "lay[ing] claim to a populated world". {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

When Senator [[Decimus (G1)|Decimus]] was badly injured in a riot, Sentinel ordered Prowl to handle the situation as he didn't "have the struts to deal with another whining senator": if only they gave him "what I need"! {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} After a surge in illegal [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial bloodsports]] where [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron's]] rose to prominence, he personally took charge of the investigation from Prowl, ordered tactical recon teams ("Panorama") to watch eight potential venues and intelligence officers to watch ''everything'', and a core strike team ("Hammer") to hit Megatron's "cult" when the venue was identified. Officers [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]] did indeed find a venue but unfortunately, both were murdered before they could report in. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

[[File:MegatronOrigin4-SentinelPrime Apexarmor.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|I remember my body. Flabby, pasty-skinned, riddled with phlebitis. A good Republican body. God, how I loved it.]]

Sentinel Prime vowed not to let their deaths be in vain, and at their funeral, the Autobot leader urged others to let their deaths be a call to arms. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3}} In private, he told his closest minions that he planned to find a Titan and unleash it on the Decepticons! {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}} Eventually, after Senator Decimus was kidnapped by the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] at Megatron's orders, Sentinel Prime led a raid on Megatron's base. They captured Megatron and most of the others, but were forced to free Soundwave per Senate directive, much to Prime's frustration. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} Unfortunately for Sentinel, this had been Megatron's plan all along and a "defecting" Starscream released all the prisoners in the Security Services' HQ!

As chaos broke out across Kaon, Sentinel Prime held the line until he decided to take things to the next level. Thus, Prime returned with his massive "[[Apex Armor (G1)|Apex]]" mode, a battle-armor/super-powerful/more-firepower-than-god mode. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}} His ensuing duel with Megatron was watched from behind the scenes by Soundwave and Shockwave. {{storylink|Soundwaves (issue)|Soundwaves}} The additional firepower didn't make much of a difference, seeing as Megatron tore into it and pulled Prime off a cliff. Sentinel was defeated by Megatron. Afterwards, the former Prime's barely functional body was dumped into the middle of the Autobot forces. Prowl ordered a retreat. We would too.

The next morning, Megatron discussed his next moves with Soundwave... sitting on a throne made out of Prime's Apex Armor. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}} Rumours spread that Sentinel had survived his battle until the replacement Senate put out footage of the body being retrieved. Sentinel's body was subsequently laid to rest, and received a state funeral at the [[Primal Basilica]] in which grieving crowds lined the streets. With his first body damaged beyond repair, Infinitus secretly abandoned his old body and went into hiding beneath Kaon. Unable to explain this baffling "mutilation", Prowl claimed that Sentinel's body had been desecrated by Decepticons, who had stolen Sentinel's head. Megatron was left irritated people would blame him for that. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} Sentinel Prime was immediately succeeded by [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]], {{storylink|Spotlight: Blurr}} and, in spite of his many issues, Sentinel's last stand against Megatron meant that the Autobots remembered him as a hero, his last deed outweighing his many flaws. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

[[File:LastLight-Infinitusescapes.jpg|upright=1.5|left|thumb|Time for Dicky to get tricky!]]

From his hiding spot, Infinitus worked to build a new body for himself. This took longer than he expected; according to Infinitus, he was "subconsciously attuning" himself to the [[spark]] frequencies of the Titans, and slipped in and out of consciousness over many millions of years. {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}}

Shortly before the [[Dead Universe]] invasion in 2006, Optimus Prime would recall Sentinel Prime as he ruminated on the supposed infallibility of a Prime versus the depressing reality. {{storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}}

Following the end of the war in 2012, Prowl recalled Sentinel's militarism as part of the lineage of 'false Primes' and their failings, expressing that while the Decepticons may have had noble intentions back then, they were long lost by the modern era. {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt (IDW)|Dinobot Hunt}} [[Nova Prime]] briefly took on the appearance of Sentinel Prime as he battled Optimus within the [[Dead Universe]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}}

[[File:TitansReturn Infinitus Sentinel.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|NIXON'S BAAAAACK!]]

In 2016, an irate Starscream—now running Cybertron—was left spitting teeth at the idea anyone might give Optimus a pass for annexing Earth. He compared the action to Sentinel, saying he'd been the last Prime to lay claim to a populated world. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}} When the [[Council of Worlds]] next convened, Starscream cited Sentinel Prime as one in a series of increasingly corrupt Primes in an attempt to discredit Optimus's recent annexation of [[Earth]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} The crewmembers on the ''[[Lost Light]]'' discussed Sentinel frankly as a dangerous ideologue with [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] calling him the first Decepticon. Since everyone usually referred to Sentinel Prime in heroic terms, [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] was left confused; Chromedome explained that he'd "lived badly but died well".

Meanwhile, the emergence of [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] on [[Earth]] had prompted the creation of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], accompanied an energy broadcast immortalizing the deeds of Optimus Prime. This burst awoke Sentinel Prime, still hiding beneath Kaon. The former leader viewed Metrotitan's transmission... only to be disgusted by the sight of Autobots fraternizing with Decepticons and the "malformed" colonists from the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] colonies—signs of ''compromise'' that he could not abide. Sentinel activated his new body, then headed to the Decepticon ghetto outside of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], vowing to purge his planet of "inferiors" {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} Trouncing [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]]'s security forces, Sentinel opened fire indiscriminately and killed 23 individuals before attacking Starscream with a [[spark disruptor]]. {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}} {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] managed to save Starscream's life by taking the weapon into her own Spark chamber, but the two were unable to stop Sentinel from bridging to Earth. After arriving outside Autobot City, he took down [[Aileron]] and destroyed the [[Space bridge|spacebridge]] behind him. Sentinel took a moment to appreciate Optimus Prime's imperialistic spirit... a moment that was cut short when Infinitus detached himself from his host body, vowing to burn down everything that his successor had created. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

[[File:WhiteLight-bodyjackinginfinitus.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|left|"Now look here, you drugged-out Communist. I paid for this body and I'd no sooner return it than I would my little cocker spaniel dog, Checkers!"]]

His first obstacle was Alpha Trion, who he sneered at for only ever talking and ''doing'' nothing during his reign. In a brief fight, Sentinel cut Trion's head off and took control of his alternate mode as a personal plane, while Sentinel's headless body stayed behind to engage the Autobots as a distraction. Wearing Trion's body, Sentinel retrieved his fellow Titan Master [[Sovereign]], who had been under a deep-cover identity as the human [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]], and flew him back to Metrotitan to be fully transformed. After reuniting with his main body, he had Sovereign warp them, Soundwave, and Optimus Prime away. {{storylink|White Light}}

The quartet traveled to the remains of the planet [[Prion (planet)|Prion]], abandoned by [[Micronus Prime]] to die with the [[Mini-Con]]s he had watched over. Sentinel explained his history to Optimus, revealed that the identity of "Sentinel" had always been a lie to conceal his true heritage as a Titan Master, and, with Onyx's return imminent, offered his successor a chance to join him and Sovereign in their new crusade. When Soundwave insulted his Primehood, Infinitus had Sovereign impale him using Alpha Trion's body before Optimus then tackled Sentinel into Sovereign, freeing Soundwave and giving the Decepticon enough time to reawaken Sovereign's "Blackrock" persona. Undeterred, Sentinel simply grabbed Sovereign and fled through Prion's spacebridge vowing to destroy the current Cybertron. {{storylink|White Heat}}

[[File:TenToMidnight-twovstwo.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I've become bitter, and, let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place!"]]

The Titan Master duo arrived on [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]], where Sentinel intended to finally put his old contingency plan into play by first reactivating the hordes of dead Titans that littered the moon's surface. Along the way, Sentinel cut down the Autobot [[Outrigger]] and ordered Sovereign to devour his spark to power his own system; when Sovereign refused and Outrigger escaped, Sentinel hardwired him into a Titan's brain module and had it make a beeline for the moon's [[Planetary engine|thruster]]s. [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] tried to stand up to Sentinel, but the evil Prime revealed that Red Alert had been one of his many sleeper agents, and promptly triggered the mental conditioning that led him to shoot Prowl, leaving only [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] to stand up to Sentinel. {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}}

As Red Alert battled Fortress Maximus, Sentinel gloated to Cerebros and revealed the full scope of his plan: using the [[quantum foam]] from Luna 1's engines, he would supercharge a spacebridge to Cybertron, allowing a horde of reanimated Titan corpses to travel through the portal and destroy everything on Cybertron, leaving a blank slate on which he could rebuild his "perfect" Autobot society. But before he could deliver the final blow, Prowl smashed a [[Mobile Autobot Repair Bay|M.A.R.B.]] over his head; Fortress Maximus commandeered one of the many Titans to fend off the [[zombie]] horde, holding off as many of Sentinel's Titans as he could, while Prowl and Cerebros confronted Sentinel himself. Sentinel quickly dispatched the pair and ordered Red Alert to shoot Prowl in the back of the head—but Red Alert had already broken Sentinel's conditioning, and shot his Titan Master self off of his larger body. Sentinel was quick to reassert a measure of control over Red Alert, nearly forcing him to blast his own head off before [[Beak]] slammed into Sentinel, sending the Titan Master plummeting into one of the moon's thrusters where he unceremoniously perished. The spacebridge closed without his thoughts keeping it open; {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}} although Fortress Maximus had not been able to prevent ''all'' of the Titans from making it through the bridge, the disruption meant that the Titans would materialize far away from Cybertron and ultimately took many weeks to finally arrive. {{storylink|Ping}}

During the reign of [[Nominus Prime]], Sentinel was called in into investigate an unprecedented accidental forging at the site of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Forge Pyramid|Pyramid]], and was thus the first 'bot encountered by the newly forged [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}} Eventually, Sentinel would himself rise to the rank of Prime after Nominus Prime surrendered leadership of the Autobots; accepting the Matrix of Leadership, Sentinel Prime took over as the new First Senator. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} In his new role, the Prime adhered to his predecessor's doctrine: his party continued to uphold the historic [[Nominus Edict]] that limited Cybertronian expansionism, {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}} supported Nominus's decision to keep the [[Great General]] [[Pyra Magna]] indefinitely imprisoned, {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} and restrict the forging of new [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s, {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} as well as abolishing the traditional sport of [[gladiatorial combat]]. {{storylink|Transformers Valentine's Day Special}} Before long, Sentinel had developed a reputation for a straightforward and unsubtle approach to diplomacy, {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} although the gravitas that his force of personality exerted over the [[Senate]] was indisputable: without his presence, the Senate would be paralyzed by indecision and infighting. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}} {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}} To keep the existence of hidden-away Titansparks under the Pyramid a secret, Sentinel bribed [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] with the position of Head of Intelligence. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}}

An image of Sentinel Prime appeared over the Senate as Termagax promoted her new Ascenticon political party, in opposition to his ideals. {{storylink|End of Time}}

Just before the outbreak of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Sentinel Prime and his inner retinue conducted a goodwill tour of Cybertron's various [[Cybertronian colonies|colony worlds]] aboard the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Lodestar (Titan)|Lodestar]], unaware of mounting political tensions on Cybertron between Senator [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]]'s Autobots and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon|Ascenticons]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}} With Sentinel Prime offworld, Orion opted to take command of the Senate in between filling in for Sentinel's other duties, such as welcoming newly forged Transformers like [[Gauge]] into the world, {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}} while instructing [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] to keep Sentinel Prime informed. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}}

The situation quickly escalated beyond Pax's ability to control the Ascenticons, and upon learning of both [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Rubble]]'s murders Sentinel Prime promptly cut his tour short. At the colony world of [[Hexagon]], Sentinel informed his cadre of specialists and diplomats that they would set course for Cybertron immediately after all visiting aliens had departed. As Lodestar prepared to set course for home, [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] informed him that she and [[Road Rage (G1)|Road Rage]] had foiled a [[Thraal]] plot to destroy their Titan in an attempt to intimidate Cybertron into surrendering their [[A'ovan]] refugees. Unwilling to import such troubles into Cybertronian society, Sentinel ordered Nautica to be silent on this incident and allow it to be handled quietly. {{storylink|Nautica: Home}}

Once Lodestar touched down on Cybertron, Sentinel dismissed Ironhide and made his way directly to the Senate. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}} When he arrived, [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] briefed him on the situation, specifically the events concerning [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]], who had sought asylum at [[Decepticon Headquarters (G1 Cybertron)|Ascenticon Headquarters]]. Though allowing Orion Pax to try and reason with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], he only gave him until sundown to retrieve Barricade, whereupon he would give Chromia ''carte blanche'' to get to the rogue. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} Sentinel spent the next few days catching up on what had been going on while he was away, which began to rapidly chip away at what little patience he had. The last straw came when Senator [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] delivered the Ascenticons' demand that, in light of the situation, there be an immediate election. Sentinel emphatically said "no" and subsequently ordered literally every [[Security Operations]] agent out into the field to root out [[The Rise]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part One}}

[[File:TheChangeInYourNaturePart3-SentinelPrime.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.7|"I propose that I use what's left of the town treasury to move to a more prosperous town and run for mayor. And, er, once elected, I will send for the rest of you."]]

Flanked by Orion, Sentinel made a public address where he condemned the Ascenticons and their empty promises. When Pax and Chromia later brought Sentinel an update on the situation, the First Senator allowed the rules of the [[Nominus Edict]] to be bent for the purposes of Security Operations' mission but also made several other changes to their normal operations while stressing success over a zero-fatality rate, deputizing [[Colonial Security]] chiefs [[Firestar (G1)|Novastar]] and [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] to organize proactive response teams. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}} To stamp out the Ascenticons before they could do any more damage, Sentinel also planned to arrest Senator Soundwave at an upcoming debate in a sting operation, only for fellow senator [[Heretech]] to covertly forewarn Megatron of the plan. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Four}}

[[File:RiseOfTheDecepticonsAllFallDown SentinelRejectsOrion.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|"Uh, election in November, election in November." "What? ''Again?!'' This stupid country..."]]
Following a major terrorist attack on Cybertron and the destruction of the [[Tether]], Sentinel and Orion met to assess the scope and scale of the damage. Although Orion urged caution and restraint—rebuilding and reassessing rather than going after the Ascenticons—Sentinel would not be dissuaded from his course of action, and Orion's suggestion that Pyra Magna be released from prison to coordinate an anti-Ascenticon crackdown eroded Sentinel's patience to nothing. Storming from the room, Sentinel shouted that he would pass the Matrix to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] when he stepped down, ''not'' Orion. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} When inflaming societal tensions led to protest marches, Sentinel ordered Ironhide to clear out the crowd. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}}

When [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] had finally been detained, Sentinel arranged for the murderer to be publicly marched directly to the [[Senate]] building in the hopes that the spectacle would discourage the Ascenticons and their supporters. However, his unwise pageantry only led to a coordinated strike that ended with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] murdering the escaped Quake before he could be tried. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Prisoners|Prisoners}} Finally, Sentinel convened an emergency session of the Senate without the Ascenticons, and coined the name "[[Decepticon]]s" as a way to condemn Megatron's underhanded tactics. He didn't get far into this speech before Megatron and his retinue barged into the Senate floor; while [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] restrained Sentinel, Megatron made his own speech that began with him reclaiming Sentinel's off-the-cuff insult and ended with his Decepticon troopers taking over the Senate. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}}

[[File:WarWorldPrime-SentinelDies.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Oh, I bet I'll get blamed for this..."]]
While Megatron kept most of his prisoners on the Senate floor itself, he had Sentinel and Orion moved to a high-security prison wing, and took a moment to gloat in front of the imprisoned First Senator. Despite Sentinel's final warning—that if Megatron restarted the cycle of colonization and expansion that had defined Cybertron's past, other races would surely fight back against Cybertron—Megatron was more interested in the Matrix he carried. [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and the [[Senate Guard]] eventually broke into the Senate building and freed Sentinel, but stopped their leader from going to personally settle his score with Megatron. After escaping to the Autobot fallback point, Sentinel instead decided to find a relay tower and broadcast a message that Megatron had not yet won—but as he transformed and flew off, he recklessly ignored the fact that the Autobot resistance didn't have any fliers to cover his departure. Sure enough, Megatron ordered the [[Rainmaker]]s to bring him back, and the three knocked him out of the sky and sent him crashing into a nearby [[The Slaarg & Turbofox|bar]]. While Sentinel easily pounded [[Ion Storm]] into a nearby wall, [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]'s corrosive barrage weakened him and [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]] sliced him in half. Chromia and Orion arrived too late to save him. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}} Deducing Starscream's betrayal, to protect the Titansparks from the Decepticons, {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} Sentinel, with his last words, told Orion to warn [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], kill Starscream, and pass his Matrix on to Ultra Magnus before he succumbed to his wounds and died. After taking the Matrix, Orion Pax glimpsed Sentinel Prime's spirit among the many other Cybertronian leaders who had carried the artifact before accepting the mantle of ''Optimus'' Prime. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}}

Laying Sentinel Prime's tattered body to rest, Optimus and Ironhide reflected on his last words and their meaning. Despite their past differences, Optimus Prime respectfully praised Sentinel for rising to meet the demands of leadership the Matrix placed on him and hoped to do the same. {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}}

Following an uprising of working-class robots, Sentinel Prime sent Alpha Trion to investigate the gladiatorial pit fights in Kaon, and the emergence of the Decepticon movement. Alpha Trion uncovered Senator Ratbat's involvement in the whole affair, and reported his findings to Sentinel Prime. {{storylink|Megatron Origins}}

As [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s forces made their way to activate [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[planetary engine]]s in order to wipe out the Autobots, Sentinel Prime went to meet with the Decepticon leader in [[Tyrest]], believing Megatron could be reasoned with. Instead Megatron ambushed Sentinel Prime's group and slew the Prime. Sadly for Megatron, Sentinel was not carrying the coveted [[Matrix of Leadership]], having sensibly left it behind. {{storylink|The War Within}}

During the Cybertronian Civil War, Sentinel Prime was killed.

{{toydesigner|[[John Warden]] (Hasbro)}}

:Sentinel Prime is part of the first wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Voyager Class toys. He transforms from robot to shuttle to battle tank-which-looks-a-lot-like-a-train. Both vehicle modes make use of lots of flip-out panels to fill in his vehicle mode, leaving very little robo-kibble visible. Sentinel takes design cues from both Generation 1 [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Alex Milne]]'s IDW Sentinel Prime, whilst Infinitus's robot mode is entirely the Sentinel design.

:His [[Titan Master]] partner [[Infinitus#Toys|Infinitus]] transforms into his head (but any [[Titan Master]]-class figure is compatible), and he features spring-loaded pylons that pop out of his shoulders on either side of his head to "bulk up" his noggin, like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager-class figures. Despite restricting the articulation for his neck, the pylons themselves are in an assembly which can be rotated for better range of motion. Sentinel can be transformed into his shuttle mode without removing his head, leaving it somewhat hidden on its backside.

:He includes two hand-held, non-firing blasters which can be combined to form a larger double-barreled weapon. The larger gun or the combined mode can be piloted by a Titan Master. Each weapon has multiple pegs which can be mounted on the wing struts, wing tips, knees, or shoulder slots. Sentinel himself can be piloted from a translucent yellow cabin between his rear stabilizers.

:The computer-generated promo art and additional stock photos for this figure is apparently inaccurate, depicting Sentinel with the ends of his train mode for feet, while his instructions use the nose cone portion of the shuttle mode. The train engine ends ''can'' be used as feet, but they sit at an awkward angle that makes it hard for Sentinel to stand upright. He also appears to be a darker, less saturated orange than the final product.

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

:This mold was also made into ''Titans Return'' [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Astrotrain]] and served as the model for [[Omega Sentinel (Energon)|Omega Sentinel]] in the [[Primus Vanguard]].

:This recolored version of Sentinel Prime with translucent orange parts was only available in a [[giftset]] together with "Titan Force" redecoes of [[Brainstorm (G1)#Titans Return|Brainstorm]] and [[Windblade (G1)#Titans Return|Windblade]], each with unique decoration. Rather than being marked as an Autobot, he instead bears the symbol of the Security Forces that his troops wore in the ''[[The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin]]'' comic.

:In the United States, this set was [[exclusive]] to the [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] website and the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2016. In the United Kingdom, it was exclusive to the A1 Toys website and their booth at London Film & Comic Con 2016 (with Brainstorm renamed into "Charon" for [[trademark]] reasons); in China, it was exclusive to Cybertron Con Shanghai; in Hong Kong, it was exclusive to Animation-Comic-Game 2016; and in Canada, it was exclusive to the HasbroStore booth at Fan Expo 2016.

==Notes==
*In an impressive case of [[size changing]], U-Haul Robot's head alone forms the ''entire'' driver's section of the truck cab!
*In a few instances throughout the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 animated series]], the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] appears in the U-Haul Robot's color scheme. Guess [[AKOM]] got their "Hauls" mixed up!
*The retelling of [[Unicron]]'s origin in the UK comics included a brief glimpse of a dying Matrix bearer passing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to Optimus Prime. However, as he is unnamed, the only way we can presume this being is Sentinel Prime is because, as we are told later, Sentinel Prime was the leader before Optimus. Fun fact: "[[State Games]]" calling Optimus Prime "Optimus Prime" means Sentinel does this pre-war!
*Sentinel's 2007 IDW design was based on his first (and otherwise only prior) appearance in the 1988 Marvel comics panel shown above. The resemblance is a little more obvious in ''[[Spotlight: Optimus Prime]]'' than it is in his more stylized appearance in ''Megatron Origin'', but his yellow-red-and-orange armor, crested helm, and the row of three small "windows" on his chest are all derived from his Marvel look. IDW's Sentinel is also very heavily armed, not unlike the description of the character given by the ''Hardwired'' novel.
*Sentinel Prime didn't receive a proper toy until 2016, but he did come close previously. As revealed in the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] roundtable panel at [[BotCon 2007]], the original concept for the convention-[[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of Deluxe Class [[Cybertron Defense Team (Cybertron)|Cybertron Defense]] [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#CyCDF|Hot Shot]] was Sentinel Prime. The mold DOES bear a decent resemblance to his IDW appearance, but in the end it was decided that [[Springer (G1)/toys#Timelines|Springer]] was a better choice for the mold (and likely for the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|ongoing club comic]] story).
*The resurrected Sentinel in the 2005-2018 IDW continuity appears to be wearing modular, black armor over his toy design, rather than having the toy design itself.
*According to [[ABN]] in [[Recordicons issue 9|''Recordicons'' #9]], Vector Prime "always lies about Five Faces of Darkness". If true, this would mean that the guy from Five Faces isn't necessarily Sentinel Prime; we're keeping this page as-is because there's no objective evidence either way, and Sentinel Prime is more convenient as a page title than "U-Haul Robot".

...Seriously? We're really going through with such a major change with little to no discussion beforehand? [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 19:09, 12 December 2022 (EST)
:[[User talk:Sabrblade/sandbox|I can't say I agree with that take.]] [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 19:37, 12 December 2022 (EST)
::For this specific proposal there is four people discussing it (including me, so I don't get why you're trying to "gotcha" me with it), which fits the definition of "''little'' to no. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 19:45, 12 December 2022 (EST)
:::The proposal was up for almost three weeks; more than enough time for people to chime in if they so chose. Yours was the only voice of dissent. Riptide was well within her rights to implement the change. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19:50, 12 December 2022 (EST)
::::It was on a user's sandbox talk page that had no indication in the title it was about Sideways! At the very least it should have been brought up on the actual Sideways page, but I think a change this big warranted being on the community portal at the very least. This should have been discussed more thoroughly and quite frankly I'm pretty mad that there wasn't even a followup discussion about this before we just decided to go full speed ahead. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 19:56, 12 December 2022 (EST)
:::::Well, here's the thing: we really should have done this as soon as we decided on the "each continuity family's appearances of Sideways get their own page", because they're appearing in a separate family and narrative from any other Sideways. This is, frankly, the way this should have been under the current system. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 22:02, 12 December 2022 (EST)
::::::...if that's really your justification I cannot frigging believe you went ahead with this. The continuity family he's appearing in is specifically a multiversal hub of travel; we don't give separate articles to the few hundred characters that show up in TransTech because of that. This is not at all what the rules of Sideways were and you know it. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 05:29, 13 December 2022 (EST)
:::::::No, we don't, but Sideways is specifically a special case because everything about him is fucked. This Sideways is at once meant to be RID, Armada, movie, and more and there's no way to properly accomodate that under our current system, which is why I think splitting it off is the best of a bad bunch. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 12:27, 13 December 2022 (EST)
::::::::It existed fine for 7 plus years the ways it was! Now we're just making up stuff that clearly wasn't the original intention of the actual original stories, and if it's a problem of "the system," well then maybe we should have an a discussion about how much the system actually works. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 12:45, 13 December 2022 (EST)
We do not need to merge this back into the other Sideways page. As Riptide has already articulated, this Sideways is a tangled amalgamation of just about every prior Sideways at once, and therefore the closest to a good solution is cordon it off onto its own page. (Also the AVP Sideways doesn't even USE Armada as the image) [[User:McBaggins|McBaggins]] ([[User talk:McBaggins|talk]]) 12:31, 13 December 2022 (EST)
:He's written to be Armada Sideways! He's positioned as a rival to Vector Prime, brings up Cybertron-related things like Soundwave, Planet X, and Galactic Guardians, is partnered with the Armada Mini-Cons, and so on! The only reason why it's linked to the others is because at the time it was written the Robotmasters myth was something that, for all intents and purposes, was true. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 12:46, 13 December 2022 (EST)
I did not chime in on the original vote because I wanted to leave it to the experts and I was satisfied with how Riptide was handling the sandbox. But I'm satisfied with the current article and I find a splitting messy and unnecessary at this point.
[[User:MrRald|MrRald]] ([[User talk:MrRald|talk]]) 12:37, 13 December 2022 (EST)
:Yeah, well, considering I've spent maybe around 5-7 writing up everything Ask Vector Prime related on here and elsewhere, I have a pretty definitive claim to being the expert, and I think this is a total mess and completely inaccurate to the actual stories themselves. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 12:45, 13 December 2022 (EST)
::You writing up AVP does not give you more authority or the right to overrule anyone else, especially not an admin like Riptide. I suggest you tone down the combative attitude, or there ''will'' be consequences. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:58, 13 December 2022 (EST)
I know my word carries about a gnat's worth of weight but to me, putting AVP Sideways in his own little box makes the most sense, and I feel like drawing it out into a big debate is ultimately going to accomplish little but further upset people. Sideways is a mess and detangling the quagmire of circular reporting and cosmic trickery does not seem worth the effort. I think Riptide's addition of a page for AVP Sideways makes the most sense out of a senseless character. [[User:LenaPrime|LenaPrime]] ([[User talk:LenaPrime|talk]]) 12:53, 13 December 2022 (EST)
:Was going to write up my own comment but this is pretty similar to what I was going to say. It really just feels like the cleanest option to a semi-outside perspective. [[User:Rgby|Rgby]] ([[User talk:Rgby|talk]]) 13:01, 13 December 2022 (EST)

Rgby:

Oh hell no, we're not doing this. This is a massive, hand-wringing over-correction that, quite frankly, is making up stuff in the exact same way as the original Robotmasters thing. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 08:52, 23 November 2022 (EST)
:Agreed. Consigning *all* discussion of Sideways's dimension hopping to a dedicated Sideways (AVP) page is ridiculous obfuscation of something that, while it may have been the result of misinterpretation and miscommunication, has been part of the text for almost 10 years at this point — and has been for 12, if you count the deliberate hinting of Animated Sideways. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 13:48, 23 November 2022 (EST)
I’m in favor, having all of that info on one tidy page feels like by far most the cleanest and most reader friendly way to do it. It’s true that there’s almost 10 years of fiction with this interpretation but that fiction is largely niche and self contained in a way that really suits having its own page. It feels like less of an obfuscation than having important information on an out of place half-article on a disambiguation page and honestly seems worth it just to have that actually function as a disambiguation page. [[User:Rgby|Rgby]] ([[User talk:Rgby|talk]]) 17:41, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:In no universe is this stuff “self-contained,” the AVP stuff is absolutely a continuation of what was started by the Almanacs and it’s insane to pretend otherwise. As for “obfuscation,” that’s literally all this does; pretend that the multiversal Sideways stuff is unconnected to the others when they are the only reason it exists in the first place, even if it was the result of misunderstanding. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 17:55, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:: Saying it’s insane to treat the Almanac, which would go on to literally have AVP in it, as related to AVP feels rather silly and I said *largely* self contained anyway. I personally think the reader-friendliness of this proposal outweighs any obfuscation, but I’m not really available to debate this at the moment and just wanted to get an argument in favor up on the board. [[User:Rgby|Rgby]] ([[User talk:Rgby|talk]]) 18:38, 24 November 2022 (EST)
==Gag page?==
In the concept's present state I am afraid I have to agree with Escargon and Broadside. That said, this pitch ''did'' inspire me with an adjacent idea for a gimmick page leaning into Sideways's schtick that might house a couple of his more continuity-agnostic appearances more cleanly without throwing out the baby with the bathwater. See [[User:AzimuthAcolyte/Sandbox/Sideways (ambiguation)|this sandbox]] for details. --[[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 02:21, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:I;m not convinced; all this stuff would already be on the Armada Sideways page but in more detail. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 05:33, 24 November 2022 (EST)
::We are better off with the Sideways ourobouros many years behind us. Now that Derik's falsehoods have been exposed and removed, let's just leave it be. The current article goes into impenetrably excessive detail, because the whole point of Sideways is that he never ''does'' anything important but he has these deeds ''described about him'' in a non-story retro-narrative like The Silmarillion, where attempting to accurately summarize it all in wiki format somehow winds up even longer and less engaging. I sincerely believe the only way to make a reader-friendly summary of all the layers of author-intentist retconnist handwaving would be with color-coded bulletpoints. Writing an even longer essay explanation of "X said Y but actually meant Z" is not going to make a meaningful difference, except perhaps to make it worse. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 09:05, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:::This. Let everything about this fucking lay in the past. Leave it alone. Let it die. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 18:11, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:For once it seems I get to be on the side of "what? No way Jose". It may be post-facto material from another author based on a fandom misinterpretation, but it's all canon innit? The way things are is fine. ''That said'', the idea of an "(ambiguation)" article is extremely funny to me, and does bring a different kind of utility to the table in collating most of that AVP material (which is very tied up in itself, obviously). So I could probably be swayed. —[[User:The Wadapan|The Wadapan]] ([[User talk:The Wadapan|talk]]) 11:14, 24 November 2022 (EST)

For whatever it's worth, and it's probably not much since it's only memory, but there's one bit of Robotmasters ephemera that I vaguely remember about Sideways, which was a chart that I ''believe'' held a RID link, but I've not been able to turn it up. Haven't brought it up before now since again, it's only memory, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, by all means, please share. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 09:25, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:I feel like I would have seen something like that back then if it had been made known about, since I used to regularly peruse the Takara website despite not knowing any Japanese back then. But sadly I've no recollection of such a chart; just [[:File:RobotMasters relation chart.jpg|this one]]. Though, funnily enough, if such a chart did exist, the most it would do is kick off the original idea I had before going down this rabbit hole: To simply merge the RM Sideways page into the RID Sideways page since such a chart would have made RID Sideways a Car Robots character. But that's the most that they chart would affect since Robotmasters still didn't have any multi-universal travel, just time travel. Only seven individuals came through the Blastizone, and our double-faced biker boy wasn't one of them. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 12:02, 24 November 2022 (EST)
I think all of this feels like overcomplicating things for any casual user.

Oh hell no, we're not doing this. This is a massive, hand-wringing over-correction that, quite frankly, is making up stuff in the exact same way as the original Robotmasters thing. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 08:52, 23 November 2022 (EST)
:Agreed. Consigning *all* discussion of Sideways's dimension hopping to a dedicated Sideways (AVP) page is ridiculous obfuscation of something that, while it may have been the result of misinterpretation and miscommunication, has been part of the text for almost 10 years at this point — and has been for 12, if you count the deliberate hinting of Animated Sideways. --[[User:Riptide|Riptide]] ([[User talk:Riptide|talk]]) 13:48, 23 November 2022 (EST)
I’m in favor, having all of that info on one tidy page feels like by far most the cleanest and most reader friendly way to do it. It’s true that there’s almost 10 years of fiction with this interpretation but that fiction is largely niche and self contained in a way that really suits having its own page. It feels like less of an obfuscation than having important information on an out of place half-article on a disambiguation page and honestly seems worth it just to have that actually function as a disambiguation page.

==Gag page?==
In the concept's present state I am afraid I have to agree with Escargon and Broadside. That said, this pitch ''did'' inspire me with an adjacent idea for a gimmick page leaning into Sideways's schtick that might house a couple of his more continuity-agnostic appearances more cleanly without throwing out the baby with the bathwater. See [[User:AzimuthAcolyte/Sandbox/Sideways (ambiguation)|this sandbox]] for details. --[[User:AzimuthAcolyte|AzimuthAcolyte]] ([[User talk:AzimuthAcolyte|talk]]) 02:21, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:I;m not convinced; all this stuff would already be on the Armada Sideways page but in more detail. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 05:33, 24 November 2022 (EST)
::We are better off with the Sideways ourobouros many years behind us. Now that Derik's falsehoods have been exposed and removed, let's just leave it be. The current article goes into impenetrably excessive detail, because the whole point of Sideways is that he never ''does'' anything important but he has these deeds ''described about him'' in a non-story retro-narrative like The Silmarillion, where attempting to accurately summarize it all in wiki format somehow winds up even longer and less engaging. I sincerely believe the only way to make a reader-friendly summary of all the layers of author-intentist retconnist handwaving would be with color-coded bulletpoints. Writing an even longer essay explanation of "X said Y but actually meant Z" is not going to make a meaningful difference, except perhaps to make it worse. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] ([[User talk:Thylacine 2000|talk]]) 09:05, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:For once it seems I get to be on the side of "what? No way Jose". It may be post-facto material from another author based on a fandom misinterpretation, but it's all canon innit? The way things are is fine. ''That said'', the idea of an "(ambiguation)" article is extremely funny to me, and does bring a different kind of utility to the table in collating most of that AVP material (which is very tied up in itself, obviously). So I could probably be swayed. —[[User:The Wadapan|The Wadapan]] ([[User talk:The Wadapan|talk]]) 11:14, 24 November 2022 (EST)

For whatever it's worth, and it's probably not much since it's only memory, but there's one bit of Robotmasters ephemera that I vaguely remember about Sideways, which was a chart that I ''believe'' held a RID link, but I've not been able to turn it up. Haven't brought it up before now since again, it's only memory, but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, by all means, please share. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 09:25, 24 November 2022 (EST)
:I feel like I would have seen something like that back then if it had been made known about, since I used to regularly peruse the Takara website despite not knowing any Japanese back then. But sadly I've no recollection of such a chart; just [[:File:RobotMasters relation chart.jpg|this one]]. Though, funnily enough, if such a chart did exist, the most it would do is kick off the original idea I had before going down this rabbit hole: To simply merge the RM Sideways page into the RID Sideways page since such a chart would have made RID Sideways a Car Robots character. But that's the most that they chart would affect since Robotmasters still didn't have any multi-universal travel, just time travel. Only seven individuals came through the Blastizone, and our double-faced biker boy wasn't one of them. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 12:02, 24 November 2022 (EST)

[[File:Madman comic Soundwave ejects tapes.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Eject! Operation: Illustration.]]
The '''Decepticon Mini-Cassettes''' (also known as '''Spy Cassettes''', '''Recordicons''', the '''Soundwave Spy Patrol''') are [[Decepticon]]s who, on [[Earth]], transform into analog [[Mini-Cassette|audio cassettes]]. They can fit into [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s chest compartment, though their apparent relationship to Soundwave varies depending on continuity.

Many of these troops have communication or espionage roles. Recycling of body designs is common among them as well. Their counterparts amongst the [[Autobot]]s are the [[Autobot Mini-Cassette]]s.

==Fiction==
{{groupstub}}
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
For the most part, the Decepticon Mini-Cassettes did not appear to have a particularly special or unique relationship with Soundwave. Soundwave occasionally carried Laserbeak within his chest compartment, releasing him for surprise attacks. {{storylink|Warrior School!}}

More often, the Mini-Cassette troops used their small alternate modes for stealth, disguise and transportation by other characters. Rumble and Frenzy frequently hitched rides in the cockpit of the Decepticon jets, for example. {{storylink|DIS-Integrated Circuits!}} Ravage used his cassette form on several occasions to spy on humans. {{storylink|Power Play!}} Three of the cassette troops were taken out of play by Omega Supreme {{storylink|Command Performances!}} and remained inoperative for quite some time, while Ravage was dropped into a mine shaft by the Autobot [[Skids (G1)|Skids]], {{storylink|Showdown!}} taking him out of play for even longer. Only Laserbeak remained operative, acting as a sort of totem of Decepticon leadership. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

Ratbat assumed a cassette form upon traveling to Earth, and used this disguise to monitor his human accomplices. {{storylink|Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom}}

===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
[[File:TIS laserbeak and buzzsaw.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
[[File:Rumble and frenzy.jpg|thumb|200px|The Wumbles of Rimbledon]]
The Mini-Cassettes acted as a sort of special-missions force, under the command of their host Soundwave. Soundwave could store numerous cassettes within his chest, at times ejecting as many as four at once. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}} {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

[[File:RavageRatbat.jpg|left|thumb|200px]]
Laserbeak was frequently sent to spy on the [[Autobot]]s at [[Ark (G1)|Autobot Headquarters]], once using his cassette form to sneak in. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer}} Ravage likewise used his cassette mode to infiltrate [[Teletraan I]] and steal information about Earth's resources. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 2}} Rumble was used more often to destroy stuff, though all three frequently engaged in battle.

The less-seen Buzzsaw and Frenzy also appeared on occasion, usually acting in conjunction with Laserbeak and Rumble, respectively. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (episode)|Countdown to Extinction}} {{storylink|Atlantis, Arise!}} {{storylink|The Immobilizer}}

Years later, Ratbat joined the cassette forces; like Laserbeak, he specialized in spy work and reconnaissance, particularly in tight quarters inaccessible to Laserbeak. {{storylink|Secret Files of Teletraan II}}

Some time after that, Overkill and Slugfest also joined Soundwave's troops. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}
{{-}}

====Madman ''The Transformers'' comic====
In the year 2001, Soundwave unleashed his army of new Mini-Cassettes to steal the Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership]] from a secure bunker at the construction site of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth. They were interrupted during their excavation by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]], who successfully disabled Soundwave and his various helpers, retrieving the Matrix. {{storylink|The Transformers (Madman)|The Transformers}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' manga=====
[[File:FSRLTFIssue2Cover01.jpg|thumb|150px]]
Ravage attacked [[Kenji]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Bumblebee]] in Tokyo while the rest of the Autobots were occupied by Megatron's forces. [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] managed to sweep Kenji to safety, but Bumblebee was then confronted by Rumble, Laserbeak and Ratbat as well. Bumblebee managed to evade the Cassettes long enough for [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] to arrive as back-up. Using a patented Bumble Kick, the small Autobot damaged Soundwave's chest compartment, so that when Ravage and the others attempted to hide from the Autobots inside their master, they bounced fruitlessly off of Soundwave. Cliffjumper was able to grab them while they were still in their cassette forms, pulling out their magnetic tape. Harsh. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 2|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers #2}}

When the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticon]]s attempted to frame the Autobots for their evil deeds, Rumble and Frenzy appealed directly to the human race for Decepticon support. Disguised in full-body cloaks and masks, they staged rallys against the Autobots and convince mankind that the Decepticons were their true friends. Their ruse was soon uncovered by [[Eject (G1)|Eject]] and [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]], who ripped off the Decepticons' robes to reveal their true selves. {{storylink|Fight!

=====''The Headmasters'' manga=====
As the Autobots prepared to leave Earth and pursue [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s forces into space, Soundblaster of all the Decepticons stayed behind to continue tormenting humanity. He dispatched Overkill and Slugfest to attack the Witwickys but they were, um...overpowered by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]]. After [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] blasted Soundblaster into the distance, his remaining Cassettes crowded around the Decepticon tapedeck as he shook the stars from his eyes. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8|The Headmasters #8}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
The origin of the Mini-Cassettes as a whole is unknown. Warriors like Laserbeak and Ravage were seen working with Soundwave in their standard capacity since the beginning of the war. {{storylink|Transformers: The War Within|The War Within}} The sole exception is Ratbat, who was once a high-ranking Decepticon, and the leader of his own independent faction during the [[Dark Ages]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}} At an unknown point in history, Ratbat was apparently converted into a Mini-Cassette as punishment for some unknown offense. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}}

Besides Ratbat, the Mini-Cassettes were sent into stasis lock with Soundwave and the rest of the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> crew for four million years on the planet Earth. They reawakened in 1984 to battle [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the crew of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. {{storylink|Prime Directive}} When the Transformers eventually returned to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the Mini-Cassettes went with Soundwave under the new command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. After [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] made a proposal to strike out on their own, however, they turned against Shockwave. Part of the deal was Starscream reuniting Soundwave with Ratbat, whom he had apparently already used as a Mini-Cassette in the past. The Mini-Cassettes returned to Earth with Soundwave and the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]]s. {{storylink|War and Peace}} Megatron eventually returned, reclaiming leadership from Starscream, with the help of Soundwave and the Mini-Cassettes. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{note|After returning to Earth, only Rumble and Frenzy made express appearances. Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, and Ratbat were presumably present inside Soundwave.}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:Dreadwing v cassettes soundwaves.jpg|left|thumb|180px]]
In Cybertron's pre-war [[Functionism|functionist]] society, [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]], and [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] were targets of oppression because of their beastly forms. When their friend [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] was employed by [[Ratbat (G1)|Senator Ratbat]], the three came with him and were modified into the Cybertronian equivalent of mini-cassettes. {{storylink|Soundwaves (issue)|Soundwaves}}

[[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] were originally energon miners like [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]. They were the first pre-Decepticons to hitch their wagons to the rising star of Megatron. Once Soundwave joined the Decepticons, Megatron had them both reformatted into cassettes in order to participate in Soundwave's surprise attack on the [[Senate]]. They weren't entirely happy about it, but agreed out of fear and loyalty to Megatron. [[Squawkbox]] also participated in that operation, possibly being reformatted alongside Rumble and Frenzy.

In the process of killing the Senate, Soundwave also attacked his former boss Ratbat, but preserved his spark in a Cybertronian mini-cassette. {{storylink|The Transformers: Megatron Origin|Megatron Origin}}

During an Autobot manhunt for Soundwave early in the war, the information officer released his cassettes to distract his pursuers whenever they closed in. {{storylink|The Hunt for Soundwave}}

Much later, Squawkbox served on the same space station as [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sixshot}}

Ravage and Laserbeak traveled with Soundwave to Earth while keeping an eye on [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]. Buzzsaw, Frenzy, and Rumble were not seen during this period, but the possibility that Soundwave was keeping one or more of them in reserve cannot be ruled out. (You never ''really'' know who he has hidden in there.) It was at this time that Soundwave and at least Ravage and Laserbeak picked up [[1984]]-era Earth [[alternate mode]]s. {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}}

Ratbat spent some time as a regular member of Earth's [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration unit]] doing reconnaissance work. {{storylink|Devastation issue 1}} He had a non-mini-cassette alternate mode.

Laserbeak, Ravage, Frenzy, Rumble, and Ratbat all participated in Megatron's full-scale invasion of Earth as Soundwave's mini-cassette minions. {{storylink|The Transformers: All Hail Megatron|All Hail Megatron}}

===''Hearts of Steel''===
Soundwave, Ravage, Squawkbox, and Rumble and/or Frenzy were among the Decepticons who were awakened on nineteenth century Earth and took on alternate modes from that era. {{storylink|Hearts of Steel}}

It was not revealed what those alternate modes were, but textual notes in Squawkbox's concept art included in the trade paperback indicate that his "upper body transforms into a mechanical gorilla" and his "lower part transforms into mechanical eagle."

===''Shattered Glass''===
{{groupstub|{{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}} {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}} {{storylink|Do Over}} {{storylink|Eye in the Sky}} {{storylink|Recordicons}}}}

===2019 IDW continuity===
[[File:WeHaveDecievedYou-InfiltrationTroopers.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Among the [[Mini-Cassette|Infiltration Troopers]], a large population supported [[Decepticon#2019 IDW continuity|Ascenticon]] [[Ratbat (G1)#2019 IDW continuity|Senator Ratbat]]. {{storylink|Wheeljack: Orbital Decay}} A group of Troopers followed him as the faction became the Decepticons. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You}}

*The [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2009 reissue of Soundwave refers to the cassettes as "[[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]" figures. The term "Deployer" had previously been used for the [[Deployer (BM)|small animal-to-weapon figures]] from the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Machines'' toyline]].
*In "[[The Agenda (Part 2)|The Agenda]]", Ravage still has his cassette alternate mode, despite undergoing a complete rebuilding. He fits into a compartment on his [[Transwarp cruiser|ship]].
*In addition to being retconned as Deployers, Soundwave's [[Transformers Hall of Fame]] bio also presented Ravage, Laserbeak, and all of Soundwave's other partners as [[Mini-Con]]s. That'll rattle a few cages.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140123021224/http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/discover/news/TRANSFORMERS-HALL-OF-FAME-Nominee-1.cfm]</ref>
*The Hall of Fame bio also revealed that Laserbeak and Ravage are Soundwave's favorite partners. It's okay, [[Wingthing (G1)|Wingthing]], we still love you.
*In 2019 during ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'', the Decepticons Mini-Cassettes become part of another group when Laserbeak & Ravage, and later Rumble & Ratbat, are sold as [[Micromaster#War for Cybertron: Siege|Micromasters]]!

[[File:Slamdance MTMTE.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Thanks to combiner technology, Slamdance can be both fair and balanced.]]
'''Slamdance''' is not a great warrior, but he is a brilliant journalist. The combined form of [[Grand Slam (G1)|Grand Slam]] and [[Raindance]], he combines the former's gravitas and vanity with the latter's mastery in data gathering. He can be a bit stuffy, but his dedication to presenting an accurate and unbiased account of current events is welcomed in his war-tossed times. He keeps the Autobots honest.

==Fiction==
===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
[[File:AgeOfWrath3 SlamdanceDiscoversSource.jpg|left|upright=1.5|thumb|It's some kinda [[Underbase|Under]]-[[AllSpark|All]]-[[Vector Sigma|Vector]]-[[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]]!]]
Merged as Slamdance, Raindance and Grand Slam served as a correspondent overseeing the [[Pax Cybertronia]] between the Autobots, Decepticons, and [[Ultracon]]s. Engineered by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and accepted by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] as a means for pooling their dwindling energy resources, the Pax was to be an ending of the Dark Ages. Slamdance's attempts to interview any of the Decepticon participants were met with either indifference or [[Barrage (Insecticon)|hostility]]. Unfortunately, a bombing run followed by an all-out assault by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and his [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacons]] ended all hopes of an easy truce, and the dramatic return of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] with his cloned [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]] ended any ideas of truce at all. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}} Slamdance avoided the termination sweeps only by falling deep underground and coming across what he believed was the legendary "Source", a sentient mainframe at the core of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.3}} He eventually linked up with the resistance movement organized by [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}} and shared the story of how he narrowly escaped death with [[Eject (G1)|Eject]], [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]], [[Ramhorn (G1)|Ramhorn]], [[Flash (G1)|Flash]], [[Scorch (G1)|Scorch]], and [[Boss (G1)|Boss]]. Perceptor had to interrupt and remind him of his actual duties, ending storytime. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.3}}

{{Unreleased WW comic}}
Slamdance and the Triggerbots accompanied Blaster as he used an ancient map of Cybertron's depths to infiltrate Megatron's slave camp, only for them to be discovered by Megatron himself. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.4}}

Slamdance took it upon himself to start setting up his own broadcast in the middle of a [[Cassiopeia|competing network anchorperson's shot]]. When confronted about the matter, he mentioned that nobody was watching [[Around Cybertron|the other channel]] anyway, and, oh yeah, they'd been scooped on knowing about the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s' capture. Oops, maybe he should have kept that a secret... {{storylink|Around Cybertron issue 11|Around Cybertron #11}}

[[File:PostHoc-Slamdance.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|left]]
As a reporter for the [[Iaconian Newsfeed Service]], Slamdance reported [[Nominus Prime]]'s death before the war. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} While reporting on a newly emerged and controversial recording of [[Pious Maximus]], he was interrupted by the news of a police chase taking place in the [[Translucentica Heights]]. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} A short time later, he reported that the [[Decepticon Registration Act|registration period]] for [[Decepticon]]s had been closed. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}} As the war began with [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]'s rebellion, Slamdance reported that the INS had received footage of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]'s body following his death at Megatron's hands. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

Slamdance was stationed at the [[Kimia Facility]] and was present when it was attacked by [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] and an army of [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]]. He managed to escape in a cramped escape pod piloted by [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]] and [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]]. He and the others drifted in the pod for some time until they were rescued by [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}} From her and [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]], they learned about [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]]'s misguided plan to save the universe (which would in actuality let the [[Dead Universe]] into it), prompting them to fly the ship to Cybertron and help defeat him. {{storylink|Chaos Part Four: Genesis|Genesis}}

[[File:WordsHangInTheAir SlamdanceLineGraph.jpg|right|upright=1.4|thumb|]]
Footage from one of Slamdance's reports was incorporated by [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]] into his final, stitched-together message to Chromedome. {{storylink|The Gloaming}} Following the end of the war, he reported on the public opinion on the Autobots changing in the wake of Megatron's trial. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}}

Slamdance went on to serve on the ''[[Lost Light]]'' under [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] and Megatron's "co-captaincy" and fought against [[Rust Giant]]s on [[Miliarium]] under the latter's direction. However, when [[Getaway]] and [[Atomizer]] led a mutiny against the former Decepticon and his supporters shortly afterward, Slamdance was not amongst those who stood up for Megatron. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}} He was eventually exposed to the [[Sparkeater (creature)|Sparkeater]] virus when Getaway turned his crew over to the [[Adaptus|Grand Architect]] to save his own life. [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] was able to cure the diseased using concussive medicine. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 2): Lūstrāre|Lūstrāre}}

After [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] scouted out the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]] for a place to set up a possible safe zone, Slamdance and the rest of the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce made themselves at home inside an [[Underground Safe Zone|underground base]] on the outer edge of the Sea of Rust that shielded them from the toxic atmosphere. {{storylink|Source:Teletraan-1 Data Files|''Siege'' Teletraan-1 Data Files}} While there, Alphastrike analyzed the [[Phantomstrike Squadron|Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron]]'s attack patterns to anticipate their next strike on key Autobot positions. {{storylink|War for Cybertron: Siege#Exclusives|Final Strike Figure Series marketing material}}<ref name=Amazon/>

:Slamdance combines the two [[Mini-Cassette]]s Grand Slam and Raindance into a humanoid robot mode (which the individuals lack).

**''Accessories:'' "W-10 Smokecloak Blaster," "JF-10 A2A Protons Rocket Launcher" (combine to form "LR Fumeblast Super Cannon")

:''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Slamdance is a [[retool]]ing of Deluxe Class [[Flywheels#War for Cybertron: Siege|Skytread]] with a new head, transforming from a jet and a Cybertronian tank which combine to form his [[robot mode]]. He includes two guns compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], which can combine to form a launcher, form his tank barrels in vehicle mode or be added to the jet mode. Slamdance is included in the "[[Firestormer|Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce]]" pack alongside [[Sideswipe (IDW)#Generations|Covert Clone Sideswipe]] and [[Trenchfoot]].

:Sharing a mold with Skytread, Slamdance uses the same connection port and plug system as ''Power of the Primes'' [[Battletrap (G1)#Generations|Battletrap]], allowing for mixing and matching between the components. He features multiple hardpoints on his body and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment (or the one included), which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. The nature of Skytread's mold means Slamdance's components swapped positions, resulting in a flip-flopped color scheme in robot mode as compared to his original character design.

: Unfortunately, several early Slamdance figures came with their left legs shattered apart in-package.<ref name = "SlamdanceBreakage">[https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/several-breakage-reports-with-newly-released-siege-slamdance/43795/ The Seibertron article documenting the ''Siege'' figure's quality control issue.]</ref> Most commonly, the left foot is broken off, but the whole foreleg assembly is susceptible to cracking. Amazon did many exchanges upon release. Less serious is that, particularly for intact copies, the left foot's transformation joint can be ''very'' tight. Loosening the joint's screw will solve the issue immediately.

:A preliminary name for this pack was "Firestormer Battle Pack", which showed up in several online listings, and also on Hasbro shipping cases for the set. The set was an [[Amazon]] exclusive in North America, which also label the set as "Final Strike Figure Series: Part 1." In Europe, it was ''supposed'' to be an Amazon exclusive as well, but was actually never stocked.

'''It's launch day for Rodimus and the crew of the ''Lost Light''—what could possibly go wrong?'''

==Synopsis==
Following [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|departure]] from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] publicly announces his intent to do likewise aboard the ''[[Lost Light]]'', following the map found within the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] in hopes of locating the [[Knights of Cybertron]]. [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] predicts virtually no [[Autobot]]s will respond to his open invitation to join him, but Rodimus winds up with a little over two hundred recruits, including (much to [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]]'s consternation) [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]]—who believes he is getting old, a concern punctuated by his failure to save the life of a [[NAIL]] who has committed suicide as a political protest—[[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]]—the loss of whose scientific talents particularly infuriates Prowl, prompting him to order the loading of a mysterious cargo onto the ''Lost Light''—and Chromedome's friend, [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]]. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]], of course, has misgivings about nearly every recruit, but Rodimus is thrilled to have so many.

[[File:Whirl Sweeps Liars.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
In the skies above Cybertron, [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] grieves in his own way for the loss of the world he had known and all the memories he made there. Detecting a life-sign resembling [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s, he investigates a small shack, only to find the unhinged [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] talking to a collection of [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]] corpses that he has strung up inside. Cyclonus enters and interrupts him just as he is about to burn down the [[energon]]-soaked building, and Whirl immediately attacks him, professing innocence and explaining the bodies were already dead: he had merely collected them. Cyclonus, for his part, doesn't care in the slightest, but can't convince Whirl of this fact.

[[File:HowToSayGoodbyeAndMeanIt-Swindle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
Elsewhere, [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] is running security checks on the Autobots who have signed up to join the ''Lost Light'': [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]], carrying a mysterious [[Time case|briefcase]] but exempted from security checks by Rodimus; [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], in the mood for "a good quest"; and [[Rung (G1)|Rung]], whom Red Alert does not recognize at first, despite having been a patient of his for six centuries. Rung tempts fate by commenting on his knack for staying out of trouble: before the sentence is even finished, Cyclonus and Whirl's running battle swoops through the area, and Rung winds up with his forearm cleaved off by Cyclonus's wing.

Ratchet, Chromedome, and Rewind, meanwhile, are making for the ''Lost Light'' through the [[Mitteous Plateau]], but are running behind schedule due to Rewind's lack of a vehicular [[alternate mode]], a trait of his that Chromedome has never understood. Just as the group are about to start having an argument about the validity of alt mode variety, Cyclonus and Whirl come crashing down out of the sky, their battle at an end with Whirl the victor. Whirl spins a few quick lies and is about to deliver a killshot when a sudden, unexpected energon explosion from beneath the ground blows him to bits. Peering into the blast crater, the Autobots find [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]], who, unbeknownst to them, is a Cybertronian from six million years ago who was supposed to be on the ''[[Ark (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|Ark-1]]'', but became trapped underground in a subsidence. He has spent the past six thousand millennia periodically going offline and reawakening, unaware that any time has passed, until he was just now finally able to detonate the energon rations he had with him in a bid for freedom. Panicking and passing out before he can tell anyone any of this due to his belief he has killed Whirl, Tailgate is brought aboard the ''Lost Light'' by the Autobots, as is Whirl. Rewind takes advantage of the brief confusion to slip off and purchase some golden discs from [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]].

[[File:Fizzle How to Say Goodbye and Mean it.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
Soon after, the ''Lost Light'' takes off, and Bumblebee complains to Prowl that he thought he had a plan... at which point the ship is crippled by a mysterious explosion that forces the ship to [[Quantum generator|quantum jump]] before preparation is complete, hurling it off to some far corner of the galaxy. A fifth of the ship's crew is sucked out into space before the breached hull repairs itself, and Rodimus orders them to set down on a desolate nearby planet, where they watch as the Autobots come raining down, burning up as they enter the atmosphere. All in all, as Rodimus succinctly puts it: "Not a good start."

And back on Cybertron, as Bumblebee sits in horrified mourning, back in Prowl's quarters a scrambled transmission plays. A transmission from one of the ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew. A transmission that has been sent back in time, from the future. But it has arrived too late, and now Rodimus will never hear the warnings of the dangers that await them...

"Did he give you all that scrap about finding the Knights of Cybertron and retracing our steps to the Golden Age? It's all scripted, you know, Drift writes it for him."
:—'''Bumblebee'''{{'}}s not bitter!

"You know what '''your''' problem is, Chromedome? You think that just because the war is '''over''', we can afford to stop '''fighting'''!"
:—'''Prowl''', summed up in one sentence.

"'''Please''' tell me you're here to wave us off." 
"No, no, no, I'm here for the quest. Love a good quest. Haven't been on a quest since the whole Luna 1 thing. The Moonquest." 
"Stop saying 'quest.'" 
"So, can I go on board?" 
"Of course—if you promise to never, ever speak."
:—'''Red Alert''' and '''Swerve''' evidently have a history.

"Oh, it's started. The alt mode bashing. Every time you get '''agitated'''... Let's have a go at Rewind because he turns into a '''giant memory stick''' and not a... '''super space tank''' or—or—whatever..."
:—'''Rewind''', on the defensive.

"Remember the old saying? 'Everyone's shape serves a purpose.'" 
"Yeah? Tell that to Sky Lynx."
:—'''Rewind''' and '''Ratchet''' have a difference of opinion.

"Don't open the coffin. Don't let them take [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]. Don't go to Delphi. And do not — I repeat do not — look in the basement. And for the sake of the Cybertronian race itself, please don't''kzzzzzzzk''"

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*[[NAIL protester|The NAIL]] who dies on Ratchet's table could previously be spotted in three scenes in ''[[Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime]]'', carrying the placard that lies discarded in the corner of the room in this issue. He was red in that issue, indicating that he has turned grey upon his death, a trait that stretches back to ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', but which has only been seen in IDW continuity before now in ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'', which was, not-coincidentally, the work of this issue's creative team.
*Tailgate thinks the ''Ark'' is doomed without him. We [[Cybertronian Homesick Blues|later find out]] that Tailgate is lying about his service record. Since the ''Ark'' mission ''did'' go [[Spotlight: Galvatron|horribly wrong]], this line is a way of getting the reader to assume Tailgate must indeed be some hot shit.
*After having spent the entirety of ''[[Infestation (IDW)|Infestation]]'', ''[[The Transformers: Heart of Darkness|Heart of Darkness]]'', and ''[[Chaos (IDW)|Chaos]]'' being misidentified in-story as a Decepticon, Cyclonus is finally back to asserting that he is an unaffiliated Cybertronian.
*Several concepts introduced in Roberts's earlier story "[[Bullets]]" reoccur: Brainstorm's [[Time case|mysterious briefcase]], Rung's fondness for model spacecraft, Whirl being kicked off the Wreckers under unspecified circumstances, and an unseen Autobot named [[Hyperion (G1)|Hyperion]].
* Ultra Magnus reads through the start of the list of crewmembers—just the A's—and comments on them: "He's dangerous... he's delusional... he's a liar... he's mad (I mean literally mad)... he was demoted after that incident with the turbofox... I arrested him for impersonating a senior officer... he owes me money... I don't trust him or him, especially not in their combined form... and if he's who I think he is, never, ever let him near a crossbow." So far, the list of known A's aboard the ''Lost Light'' includes [[Ammo]], [[Animus]], [[Aquabat]], [[Aquafend]], [[Aquastar]], and [[Atomizer]]; only Atomizer—the crossbow fiend—and Animus—the liar—have been clearly linked to Magnus's comments.
*It is hinted strongly that Prowl did something to the ''Lost Light'', but in a shocking twist next issue it'll turn out [[Ore|to be something else]] that dun it.
*The broadcast forewarns us of [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|the coffin in issue #29]], [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] being captured in issue #19, the Delphi adventure in [[Life After the Big Bang|#4]] and [[How Ratchet Got His Hands Back|#5]], the thing lurking in ''Lost Light''{{'}}s basement that gets out in [[Remembrance Day|issue #14]], and a revelation about Brainstorm ("Cybertronian race itself").
**We see the message being broadcast (and what's "for the sake of the Cybertronian race itself") in [[Elegant Chaos Part 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide|#38]]. The time and place it was broadcast was always intended.<ref>[http://www.transmissionspodcast.com/2015/03/transmissions-episode-94-james-roberts-mtmte-elegant-chaos-interview/ TransMissions Episode 94 – James Roberts MTMTE Elegant Chaos Interview] 37:40 to 38:59</ref>

===Transformers references===
*Prowl explicitly states one of the capabilities originally outlined in his ''[[The Transformers Universe|Transformers Universe]]'' profile, that he can observe 800 moving objects and almost instantly compute their trajectories.
*The trailer Tailgate is carrying his equipment in is a [[Micro Trailer]].
*Tailgate's role was originally going to be taken by [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]] until the latter appeared in the present day during ''Chaos''.
*Brainstorm's security pass sports a [[Tech Spec]]s graph and a [[rubsign]].
*Their small size makes them hard to determine, but at least some of Rung's model spaceships are recognizable: they at least include the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' as it appeared in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]], the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' from the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon, and a [[Trident Attack Craft]]. We wager there are more familiar ships in there!
*Among the list of lost Autobots is one new name: [[Polaris]]. This ''might'' be a reference to online ''Transformers'' fanzine [http://www.polarismagazine.co.uk/ Polaris Magazine], whose publisher Graham Thomson is a long-time member of [[Transmasters UK|Transmasters]], the UK fan group that Roberts and Roche were both major contributors to.
* Geographic features that Cyclonus mourned the loss of due to the rebirth include the [[First City]], the [[Fragmented Whole]], [[Mesmerica]], [[Obex]], [[Pess Pess]], the [[Pious Pools]], [[Subterrania]], [[Tetrahex]], the [[Transeptum of Infinite Reach]], the [[Vaulted Heights of K'th Kinsere]], and the [[Warrior's Gate]].

===Real-world references===
*The title of this issue pays homage to the Dexy's Midnight Runners song, "Liars, A to E" (with A and D of course standing for "Autobot" and "Decepticon"). James Roberts previously used it as the title for a comic-strip prequel to his unofficial Transformers novel, "Eugenesis", published in the souvenir magazine for UK convention Transforce 2001.
*Tailgate's introduction is, nearly word for word, a reference to the opening scene of the ''Red Dwarf'' episode, "Terrorform", a series Roberts references throughout MTMTE.
*One of the model spaceships in Rung's collection is drawn to resemble the guitar-shaped spaceship from ''{{w|Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem|Interstella 5555}}''.

===Trivia===
[[File:Mtmte brainstorm teaser.jpg|thumb|Because the picture just wasn't obvious enough.]]
*The release of this issue was preceded by a "scavenger hunt" of sorts on [[January 10]]th, with one each of a series of twelve images spotlighting individual characters being released to twelve different websites, both Transformers fansites and popular comic book new sites. Only eight actually made it up before the book's release: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/comics-16/transformers-mtmte-1-promo-image-out-tomorrow-174117/ Brainstorm at TFW2005] (at right), [http://www.newsarama.com/8925-exclusive-idw-teaser-transformers-more-than-meets-the-eye.html Drift at Newsarama], [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=36350 Ratchet at ComicBookResources], [https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/01/10/exclusive-transformers-more-than-meets-the-eye-image Red Alert at IGN], [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/exclusive-transformers-more-than-meets-the-eye-promo-art/23642/ Rewind at Seibertron], [http://tformers.com/transformers-exclusive-transformers-more-than-meets/16985/news.html Rung at TFormers], [http://www.allspark.com/content/view/9829/ Swerve at the AllSpark] and [http://www.fullmetalhero.com/content/idw-transformers-more-than-meets-eye-1-treasure-hunt-exclusive-image-2604/ Whirl at FullMetalHero]. Subsequently revealed were [http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?p=269973&highlight=#269973 Chromedome on the IDW forums], [https://twitter.com/#!/TheJohnBarber/status/157175756353585152/photo/1 Cyclonus on John Barber's Twitter], [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150512162858279&set=a.10150239372238279.337626.8473603278&type=1 Rodimus on IDW's Facebook], and [http://ryalltime.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/mtmte-teaser-ultra-magnus/ Ultra Magnus on Chris Ryall's blog].
** Brainstorm's suitcase would become a running C-plot in the comic, following on from "[[Bullets]]", before finally erupting into a full-blown plot driver in [[slaughterhouse Part 2: The Road Not Taken|issue #33]].
** Drift's poster says he's "Trying Too Hard", and his obsessive optimism in the quest will have a slight crash in the 2012 Annual.
** "Ratchet knows his time is up": Ratchet's character arc from this issue to #5, regarding his hands. It then came up again in #21, where Ratchet was forced to admit that he was refusing to leave the Chief Medical Officer position and gave it up.
** "Red Alert is hearing things": this happened in #5, starting a plot that would lead to horrific events in #15.
** "Rewind does things he shouldn't": applying to his deal with Swindle, and also his jumping into fights. Both things get their explanation in #12.
** "Rung wants to be remembered": the fact hardly anyone remembers the poor guy was a running C-plot throughout the series.
** "Swerve doesn't know": referring to an old war injury Swerve doesn't realize is still affecting him until #43.<ref>{{Twitter|Ha! I forgot we trailed the 'buried bullet' storyline as part of MTMTE's pre-launch publicity...|https://twitter.com/jroberts332/status/660378216536887296|James Roberts|2015|10|31}}</ref>
** "Whirl hates everyone": he so does.
** "Chromedome is being used": this is part of a character arc that starts in this very issue under our noses. What it means, we'll learn in #14.
** "Cyclonus is key": As it turns out in Chapter 5 of "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]", he was a member of the [[Clavis Aurea]] religious order, which means "golden key" in Latin.
** "Rodimus believes his hype": for real.
** "Ultra Magnus won't make it": forewarning us of his experiences in #15, and #19, ''and'' #32, as well as the Necrobot's list in #8 and [[James Roberts|''possibly'']] all the way in ''Lost Light'' #25.
* The Autobots are all sporting new Cybertronian alternate modes in this issue, either lifted directly from ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' or drawn in emulation of the game's style. It is explained in a later issue that these modes were provided by Wheeljack, marking one of the few times in the IDW universe that a change in alternate mode is given an in-story rationale, rather than being the result of "artistic license". (It doesn't explain why the Decepticons also got new bodies in the previous issue, but small steps.)
* Nick Roche's design for Ultra Magnus's vehicle mode went unused, but he revealed it on the blog [http://eclecticmicks.blogspot.com/2012/01/almost-met-eye.html Eclectic Micks] on January 6. Alex Milne chose to use a different design in the next issue.
* In the TPB Roberts claims that the hardest part about writing issue #1 was spelling the "transformation sound" phonetically. The result; 'Tsche-chu-chu-chu-tsche', is used when the NAIL suffers from rigor morphis.

===Crew Manifest===
* Drift stated the crew had 208 sign-ups and rising. The total number of crew members prior to launch is unknown. Whirl, Cyclonus, and Tailgate were included as last minute additions.

:''Medix the Doc-Bot is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[File:RBA Medix.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]

'''Medix''' is the [[Rescue Bot]]s' Doc-Bot, ready to help out [[Autobot]]s and [[human]]s alike when they need medical help. A bot not for surprises and who works purely with logic may seem unable to work with the unpredictable, but he has been able to find himself a spot during all the works. Compared to his uncle [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], he is more reserved and less tempermental.

Sometimes he pals up with [[Sawyer Storm]].

==Fiction==
===''Rescue Bots Academy'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Adam Andrianopoulous]] (English)|[[Yannick Besson]] (French)}}
[[File:SecretOfFlight Medix upside down.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hi, I’m Medix and welcome to Jackass!]]
Medix was among a batch of new recruits sent to the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on [[Earth]] to learn to be [[Rescue Bot]]s. Like the others, he treated [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]]'s addition to the team with skepticism, especially when Hot Shot screwed up a fire rescue training exercise. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} Medix and the other recruits were surprised when Hot Shot later turned up with two additional alternate modes, however when it turned out he could only pick one a day, and the jet mode he'd picked was useless for the cave rescue they were assigned, Medix and the others encouraged him to persevere and they completed the exercise. {{storylink|Recruits Part II}} After Hot Shot got some flight tutoring from [[Blades (RB)|Blades]], Medix ended up magnetically stuck to the other recruit's undercarriage so he could rescue some firefighters. {{storylink|The Secret of Flight}}

Following a rescue in [[Griffin Rock]], the recruits persuaded [[Hoist (RB)|Hoist]] to make new rescue tools for them all. Medix got new claws to allow him to cut through things, and though the initial test went horribly wrong, he and the other recruits enlisted the help of Boulder, and Hoist eventually perfected the tools. {{storylink|If at First...}} After Hot Shot damaged [[Tough Luck Chuck]] and then shirked his duty in bot-sitting, the recruits were forced to hunt Chuck down through the streets of [[Milford]]. Medix later repaired Chuck using new parts created by [[Boulder]]. {{storylink|Tough Luck Chuck (episode)|Tough Luck Chuck}} Bored by Chase's class on police codes, Medix and the other recruits persuaded Chase to let them try to do a practice rescue, and ended up being rescued themselves by [[Whirl (RBA)|Whirl]] when they got stuck in the snow. {{storylink|Whirl'd View}} When the recruits didn't understand why Boulder was having them plant flowers, the Rescue Bot set them a task which taught them that all parts of nature are important. {{storylink|Plan Bee}}

[[File:MissionInaudible Medix in need of rescuing.jpg|thumb|right|230px]]
Medix and the other recruits were bugged when [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] borrowed the trigger for the rescue alarm and had them constantly running drills to get their response time down. {{storylink|The Bot Who Cried Rescue}} The recruits had to contend with a runaway rock sculpture of Hot Shot's head when he decided to carve it into a mountain alongside the likenesses of the Rescue Bots. {{storylink|Mount Botmore}} Medix served as the victim in need of rescuing for an exercise, a role he threw himself into enthusiatically, though it took a while for the recruits to actually rescue him because Hot Shot and Wedge had trouble following Hoist's orders. {{storylink|Mission Inaudible}} Medix found it difficult to complete a rescue simulation when a girder started glitching on them, however it later gave him any idea during a real rescue on a bridge, and he came up with an unorthodox plan that ended in success. {{storylink|Glitch (episode)|Glitch}}

After a ride on the ''[[Sigma]]'', the recruits assumed the four command chairs meant one of their number wouldn't graduate. The team went on to botch a volcano rescue drill after staying up all night worrying, until Heatwave told them they'd assumed wrong. {{storylink|Five into Four}} When Whirl was filming footage for a recruitment video, Medix provided three hours of footage of him discussing bandages. He and the others later helped whip the footage into a usable state. {{storylink|Rescue Promo}} After a botched rescue had the recruits blaming each other, Heatwave assigned them to cleaning duties. Hot Shot sneaked out to do a rescue, and as a result, the rest of the recruits had to go help him when he hit trouble. {{storylink|Blame Game}} Medix was bemused by the idea of surprising [[Cody Burns|Cody]] with an EMT certificate, and the other recruits ended up setting up a surprise rescue mission to demonstrate to Medix how great surprises were. He remained unconvinced. {{storylink|Medix Surprise}}

[[File:FiveIntoFour Medix vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]
The recruits got to try out some [[TX3000]]s on loan to the rescue center, and even used them during an actual rescue. {{storylink|The TX3000}} They had to round up a lost flock of sheep, but were hampered by Hoist malfunctioning. {{storylink|Little Bot Peep}} When [[Lad Pioneer|Teen Pioneer]] [[Wes]] visited the base, Medix spent some time instructing him in the fine art of bandaging. {{storylink|Driving a Wedge}} Boulder accompanied the recruits to the planet [[Parvus]] where they rescued the last surviving [[Galax]]. {{storylink|The Big, Small Rescue}}

When Hot Shot and Wedge decided to compete over who was qualified to get into the [[Heroes of Cybertron (cards)|Heroes of Cybertron]] card game, Medix and Whirl acted as commentators for the building and Cube challenges they undertook. {{storylink|Battle of the Bots}} Medix and the other recruits had to round up a small rock alien that got loose in the academy. {{storylink|About a Rock}} The recruits tried to keep secret the fact a dog had followed them home after the last rescue, only to discover that the dog was actually trying to alert them to the fact they'd missed someone who needed rescuing. {{storylink|Dog Stray Afternoon}} Medix took part in the rescue of [[Dr. Hart]] from a rogue iceberg. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}

Whirl tried to get the other recruits into cheerleading, but it wasn't until they were able to employ the skills they were learning during a rescue that they were convinced it would be useful. {{storylink|Go Team, Go!}} After Boulder assigned the recruits the task of familiarizing themselves with smartphones, they ended up neglicating everything else, resulting in them screwing up a rescue exercise. Also Medix wanted to know why Wedge wasn't answering his texts (Wedge was addicted to a mobile game). {{storylink|Screen Time}} During a field trip to the museum in Milford, the other recruits helped Whirl apprehend a thief in the act of burgling the place. {{storylink|Fright at the Museum}}

After the ''Sigma'' returned minus the teachers, the recruits were forced to try to pilot it to go to their rescue. Medix, naturally, was the first to think to consult the instruction manual, and they successfully rescued the teachers. {{storylink|Space Case (episode)|Space Case}} During an undersea cleanup mission, Medix assumed a shark would assist them, but instead it trapped him in the side of a ship wreck, requiring the other recruits to rescue him. {{storylink|All at Sea}} With the teachers on another off-planet mission, the recruits were left to tidy up the Academy, and had to deal with Hoist's [[Scrub-A-Dubber]] when it went rogue. {{storylink|All Washed Up}}

[[File:HackAttack Medix gooped.jpg|thumb|right|260px|We believe "he slimed me" is the correct phrasing to use in this situation.]]
Heatwave suggested the recruits try their hand at teaching, which resulted in Medix first helping Hoist out by demonstrating a driving course, and Medix's own lesson going poorly when he handed out large books and told his pupils they had to work out what the exercise was. Their teachers later put what they'd learned to use during a real rescue. {{storylink|Who's Teaching Who?}} An attempt to rescue a balloon from a tree turned into a major disaster when the recruits went in without a plan. {{storylink|Balloon Up A Tree}} A fantasy simulation saw the recruits trying to corral a dragon, until they worked out that the dragon was actually trying to help. {{storylink|The Mystery of Dragon Mountain}} When Hot Shot combined his video game with the car inspection sim Chase was having them complete, the recruits had to contend with giant hedgehogs which covered Medix in goop. {{storylink|Hack Attack}}

Realizing that the other recruits saw him as something of a stick in the mud, Medix asked Chase for help in developing his humor. Unfortunately he overcompensated which caused problems for the team on their next mission until the others got him to tone it down. {{storylink|Life of the Party}} The recruits were keen to be taught by new teacher [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] but discovered Hoist was afraid of Dinobots. {{storylink|Tyrannosaurus Wrecked}} A trip to [[Wayward Island|Dino Island]] hit a snag when a dinosaur escaped back through the GroundBridge, disabling it in the process so Grimlock and the recruits had to make their own way back to the academy. {{storylink|Dino Hard}} Chase assigned the recruits a stealth mission and Medix paired up with Wedge to hunt through Griffin Rock for Chuck. Unfortunately before they could find him, they were caught by Chase. {{storylink|Buddy Cop}} Another mission saw the recruits having to rescue penguins from an island the hard way after an electrical storm knocked out their tools and even their ability to transform. {{storylink|Escape from Penguin Island}} During a series of search and rescue missions, Medix and the others were surprised to learn Hoist had cheated on one of the tests. {{storylink|All that Glitters}}

[[File:MonsterSavings Medix dead monster.jpg|thumb|left|350px]]
A hunt for a downed satellite resulted in the recruits hiding out backstage at Dig Fest while trying to signal Wedge. {{storylink|Dig Fest (episode)|Dig Fest}} The recruits took part in [[Halloween]] festivities and ended up having to deal with a house fire. {{storylink|Trick or Treat}} As Medix was unclear on the concept of advertising, when he saw a monster attacking a car dealership on [[television]] he assumed it was a real monster attack. His attempts to stop the attack resulted in him almost outing the recruits to the population of [[Milford]], until the rest of the team were able to mount a hasty coverup. {{storylink|Monster Savings}} Medix and the others got a tune stuck in their heads, impairing their performance on a training exercise. They managed to forget the tune, but this caused problems on a mission to the planet [[Herboo]], as it was the code needed for the [[Virtual Sonic Fence]] Hoist needed to use to stop the [[karknoid beetle]]. {{storylink|Tune Out}}

A trip to survey a geyser field saw the recruits having to deal with a swarm of Scraplets. {{storylink|Metal Munchers}} Medix and the other recruits took part in essential maintenance as directed by [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], unlike Wedge who spent the whole time trying to impress his hero, and they were therefore fully functional for the following rescue drill. {{storylink|Bee Prepared}} When Whirl's failed attempts to do a maneuver led her to try to seek out the Wise One, the other recruits went after her and became trapped in a ravine, requiring her to rescue them using the maneuver she had been trying to perfect. {{storylink|Whirl's Wise-Bot Quest}} Hot Shot's careless actions in ejecting his junk into space had Medix and the others following his lead, resulting an a huge junk meteor that threatened the satellite they were trying to repair. {{storylink|Flying Hunk-A-Junk}}

Medix's highly detailed instructions proved difficult for Hot Shot to follow while blindfolded, resulting in their team losing a trust exercise. When later they had to retrieve a submersible drone, Medix managed to tone his instructions down so the other recruits could successfully follow them. {{storylink|Into the Depths}} Medix joined the hunt for some dogs when Hoist's new comms system turned out to annoy animals. {{storylink|Milford Goes To The Dogs}} The recruits struggled to complete a rescue sim until Hot Shot realized they'd been trying to stop the disaster instead of saving the people. {{storylink|The Ice Wave}}

As graduation drew closer, the recruits successful competed against their teachers in a relay race carrying a pretend rescue victim. Medix and the others were surprised and saddened when Hot Shot opted to abandon his Rescue Bot training and return to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to compete in the Cube finals. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 1}} The remaining recruits decided to tune in to the final using the [[space bridge]] to boost the holo-emitter screen. Unfortunately this led to the creation of a slowly growing energon bubble which engulfed the academy. It was only when Hot Shot returned that the recruits were able to burst the bubble. {{storylink|Best Bots Forever Part 2}}

At the start of year two, the recruits returned to the Academy to find they'd been given personal spaces—in Medix's case, a medbay—and were to be put through a series of tests so [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]]'s [[Aptitude Analyzer]] could assign them an appropriate mentor. Medix was assigned Blades. {{storylink|Back to School}} He and the other recruits got some new training simulations courtesy of Ratchet. {{Storylink|Mission Dinobot}} Medix got to work with Blades, developing a new bandage adhesive. He and the other recruits later rescued some foxes from a tree in a forest fire. {{storylink|In Training}}

Medix secretly nursed an injured bat, which he named [[Mister Flappy]], back to health. He brought it with him on a trip to Ratchet's lab on Cybertron, resulting in Mister Flappy causing a ton of trouble, and Heatwave persuaded him it was time to let the bat return to the wild. {{Storylink|Medix Steps Up To The Bat}} When the recruits thought Cody was unhappy because he wasn't a giant robot like them, they built him a robotic suit which caused chaos during their mission to rescue a rogue bull. Cody later clarified that he was just missing hanging out with the recruits. {{storylink|Robo-Cody}} During a simulated rescue, Medix used one of his carefully compiled lists to complete the task. Blades assigned him the task of looking after Heatwave the dog, and Medix soon discovered that his pet care list wasn't working. It wasn't until Blades encouraged him to disregard the list and go with the flow that he was able to keep Heatwave happy, and the pair went on to have an enjoyable time together. {{storylink|Heatwave's Shiny Coat}}

Heatwave tasked the recruits with acting in the play [[Jack and the Beanstalk]]. Director [[Francois]] assigned Medix the role of narrator, which he stuck with even as the set started collapsing during the performance, narrating Hoist's safe descent to the ground. {{storylink|Acting Out}} Medix and the others found Wedge's boredom was interfering with their study time. Wedge later surprised them by being enthusiastic about studying. {{storylink|Need to Know}}

After Hot Shot and Hoist turned Grimlock's Cube into an unstoppable escaping machine, the other three recruits attempted to help them recapture it but eventually had to call on Grimlock's help. {{storylink|Trouble Cubed}} When Heatwave let the recruits pick their favorite rescue to do, Medix was in favor of a peaceful farm-based rescue in which he could bandage an injured farmer. The only drawback was massive quantities of bees. The disagreement over which simulation to run resulted in the recruits accidentally breaking the control unit and plunging the sim into chaos until they worked together to fix the unit. {{storylink|My Favorite Rescue}}

Medix was bemused by Hoist's cowboy impression, and left his fellow recruit to it when Grimlock arrived. {{storylink|The Great Energon Rush}} After Ratchet got trapped in an ancient sim, the five recruits entered the sim as well. They successfully negotiated their way through a tower full of traps and rescued their teacher, completing the sim and opening the vault to find four Mul-T-Cogs and an ancient artifact. {{storylink|The Vault Of The Primes}} Whirl enlisted Medix to help her investigate the possible existence of a ghost, though he was skeptical. The pair even went to [[Charlotte Wayne]]'s run-down mansion, but ultimately only found some opossums they rescued. {{storylink|Wild Ghost Chase}}

Following a soil sampling expedition to some dwarf planets, Medix found the Galax still in quarantine. Believing it was safe, Medix planted the Galax in the academy garden, only for it to grow to massive size overnight and take over the garden. He and the other recruits managed to cut it back down to size and found a new home for it on [[Sedna]]. {{storylink|Little Plot of Horrors}} Medix attended the opening of the [[Museum of Future Tech Art]]. {{Storylink|Museum Mystery}}

Medix took part in the rescue of Doc Greene and [[Frankie Greene|Frankie]] when a force field dome trapped the two humans in the lab, and ended up dangling from Blades so he could use his magnets to open a hole in the force field. {{storylink|Partners (RBA)|Partners}} Medix's overly-critical feedback annoyed his fellow recruits, so he consulted Blades and ended up over-compensating in the other direction. {{storylink|Critical Condition}} During a visit to [[Mechapark]], Medix and Whirl discovered that the [[Fun Droid]]s were malfunctioning and Medix ended up repairing them. {{storylink|Fun Droids}}

The [[Sparksayer]] gifted Medix with a magnetic power projector which it turned out was actually not of a lot of use during a volcano rescue until they needed to prevent a ship from running into the lava flow. {{storylink|Power Up And Energize}} Cody had the recruits attend a ballet school to improve their poise, something Medix struggled with. Cody persuaded him to persevere, and he was able to put the skills he'd learned to use in a rescue, resulting him him embracing the artform and joining in a charity ballet performance. {{Storylink|Shall We Dance?}}

Medix and the others helped Hot Shot overcome his one-alternate-mode-per-day limitation by tricking him into thinking a sim rescue was real. {{storylink|Mul-T-Change of Pace}} During a camping trip on [[Natura Island]], Medix and the others were transported to a junkyard by the island's security system, necessitating a rescue by Whirl and Chase. {{storylink|Five Little Rescue Bots}} Medix's propensity for dispensing wisdom resulted in him annoying the other residents of the academy until he accidentally activated Ratchet's diagnostic tools which ran amok and realized following his own advice wasn't as easy as he thought. He tried to retrieve the tools, but had to confess to Ratchet after the tools caused chaos. {{storylink|Good Advice}}

After a campout, the recruits noticed Hot Shot was acting oddly and eventually worked out his comm transmitter had fallen out, resulting in them having to go back for it and rescuing a bear cub in the process. {{storylink|Campfire Fright}} Hot Shot persuaded the other recruits to test out the new Mul-T-Cogs from the vault, only for them to discover that the cogs weren't charged enough and they could no longer transform. Hot Shot successfully fully activated them at the cost of his own ability to transform, at least until Medix and the others found they could return the favor and use their cogs to reactivate his. {{storylink|Small Cogs}} Medix went through a complex and careful calculation in order to select his new alternate mode and ended up scanning a helicopter. {{storylink|Big Wheels}}

While reviewing a hologram of live star activity, Hoist and Medix spotted a distress beacon, leading Heatwave to send the recruits on their first solo off-world mission. The mission took them to a deserted city where their navigation led them in circles as Medix proved by drawing a face on a door they kept passing. They eventually found Scorch's Cube team under attack from the architecture, and they eventually discovered that the city itself was a long-lost [[Titan (group)|Titan]], [[Citadel Secundus]]. {{storylink|The Empty City}} After taking part in Mentor Training Day with Blades, Medix teamed up with his mentor again for a "rescue-athon". {{storylink|First Responder}}

Boulder assigned the recruits the task of training Scraplets. After a series of unsuccessful attempts, Medix stumbled on the fact that they responded to the sound of a [[Rubber Ducky]], and was eventually successful in training them enough to prevent a power plant from exploding. {{storylink|How To Train Your Scraplet}} During a high rise window washing rescue sim, Medix successfully rescued Chuck but knew he'd gotten lucky as he was still having difficulty with his helicopter mode. When he struck trouble during a mission to put out fires in [[Crook's Canyon]], Whirl encouraged him enough that he was able to extinguish the blaze. {{storylink|Helicopter Heroes}} He and the other recruits were dispatched to [[Australia]] to help [[Brushfire (RB)|Brushfire]] with some [[kangaroo]]s, and ended up fighting fires. {{storylink|Brushfire (episode)|Brushfire}} When Whirl arrived back at base with the stasis locked Scorch, Medix was successful in reviving his fellow bot. {{storylink|The Ties That Bind (episode)|The Ties That Bind}}

Medix took part in a bus rescue exercise, and later helped save a tree on Dino Island from a falling butte. {{storylink|Bot Blog}} He, Whirl and Heatwave were subjected to the comedy stylings of [[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] while Bumblebee and Wedge saved a train transporting blocks of ice. {{storylink|The Icebot Cometh}}

When the recruits recovered the [[Decepticon]] [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] from a stricken ship, Medix believed that they had a duty to give aid to whoever needed it, despite what Hot Shot insisted. After Wedge revealed that he had originally been created as a Decepticon, the recruits helped him track down the injured Con and Medix successfully made repairs. {{storylink|More Than Meets The Eye (RBA)|More Than Meets The Eye}} Medix took part in a volcano rescue sim. {{storylink|Things That Go Bot In The Night}}

Medix was determined to impress Perceptor, leading to him enacting more and more dangerous scheme until he stole the ''Sigma'' in an attempt to complete Heatwave's mission to repair the ''Asgard''. This went horribly wrong and the other recruits had to rescue Medix, however it did lead to Perceptor appointing him as teaching assistant. {{Storylink|Medix Gets Schooled}} He and the other recruits experienced jealousy when a group of teens began carrying out rescues in Milford and getting press. {{storylink|Rescue Teens}}

Perceptor sent the recruits to [[Sifrolicous-5]] to discover why the planet changed color, and they found [[mudlubber]]s, who turned out to be exactly suited to the environment. {{storylink|Enter The Flood}} Medix took part in a cow rescue, during which Whirl was injured and had to spend time recovering in a stasis pod. {{storylink|Wizard Of Botz}} Heatwave assigned Medix the task of cleaning the stasis pod filters, as part of doing maintenance on the academy. He and the others later had to cover up a holographic dragon when Hot Shot and Hoist let it escape Hero Hall and menace Milford. {{storylink|One Of Our Dragons Is Missing}}

Medix and the other recruits were taken on a field trip by Perceptor to a tropical island to study volcanoes. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}} They joined Heatwave in responding to a vague message from Citadel Secundus, only to find the Titan was just in need of some company. {{storylink|The Lonely Titan}} The recruits teamed up with [[Finn O'Reilly]] to follow the clues on a [[Holokey]]. They expected treasure, but instead found a hidden cache of [[Tox-En]]. {{storylink|X Marks The Bot}} Medix, Hoist and Whirl helped Hot Shot modify the racing track so they could help Wedge get used to moving at speed. {{Storylink|Making Tracks (RBA)|Making Tracks}}

When Grimlock tried to get the recruits to be louder, Medix acted on Hot Shot's idea and build himself a new siren. During a mission to the planet [[Krimol]], the recruits found that their loud noise was aggravating the local wildlife. {{storylink|Don't Be Alarmed}} Heatwave had Medix and the other recruits retrieve toxic barrels from the seabed and rescue Jerry in order to teach them to exercise more restraint in using their power up tools. {{Storylink|Powerless}}

Medix got heavily into the musical stylings of DJ Mechamaster and played said DJ's music loudly while dancing, much to the confusion, horror and/or amusement of his fellow recruits. He was overjoyed when they were assigned the task of monitoring DJ Mechmaster's Griffin Rock charity concert, which led to them rescuing the DJ, learning he was in reality Mayor Luskey, and ultimately taking part in the concert while masquerading as stage props. {{storylink|Griffin Rock Rocks!}} Medix and the other recruits watched from the Academy as Chuck and Hot Shot entered the Bot Battle event at Dig Fest. {{storylink|Bot Battle}}

Following the successful completion of their last test of year two, the recruits were rewarded with a party thrown aboard Citadel Secundus. Unfortunately midway through the party, the Titan was hit by an asteroid which created an anti-energon field, knocking out Medix and most of the rest of the party-goers. {{storylink|Space Party}} He and Hoist were revived by Wedge with the use of shield emitters, and the trio worked to get Secundus into receive mode to prevent the Titan crashing into Earth. Crisis over, the recruits were thrown a graduation ceremony. {{Storylink|Crash Of The Titan}}

*'''Medix the Doc-Bot''' (2012)

: Part of the fifth wave of the original ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Rescue Bots]]'' toyline, Medix transforms from ambulance to robot with a press of the flashers on his roof, automatically springing him into robot mode. (Though you'll have to stand him up yourself.) Medix comes packaged with a DVD of the ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]'' episode "[[Under Pressure]]".

: The wave with Medix and [[Hoist (RB)#Rescue Bots|Hoist]] was originally a bit scarce on retail shelves (though it hit [[Target]] clearance in some places), and as such the two demanded some hefty prices on the secondary market. However, there must have been a warehouse find or something, as [[eBay]] sellers eventually started listing them in large numbers for roughly original retail.

*'''Medix the Doc-Bot''' (2016)

: A new version of the character in the smaller ''[[Playskool Heroes]]'' scale, Medix once again transforms into an ambulance in a single "Easy 2 Do Conversion". Robot-to-ambulance conversion is done by pushing his arms in, and ambulance-to-robot by pulling them out - as this typically doesn't fold the legs in all the way, pushing up on the cabin roof can solidify the transformation. In ambulance mode, his back-end roof has a [[5 mm post|5 mm post-hole]], nominally to mount the concurrent ''Rescue Bots'' [[Mini-Con]] partners in their rescue-tool modes. His fists also have 5mm post-holes, though their lack of posability makes holding the rescue tools... ''awkward''.

It was redecoed and given a ''different'' head as [[#RBAAmbulance|''Rescue Bots Academy'' Medix]] to more closely match his appearance in that show.

:''Dillo is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Dillo Botcon.jpg|thumb|300px]]

'''Dillo''' is a reformatted ancient task drone who was found by [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]. As one of the [[Deployer (BM)|Deployers]], he is capable of quick transformation abilities. He was taught by an [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|ancient Autobot tracker]] in the ways of the mace bollo. Unfortunately he only uses it while retreating. He is a bit of a coward, but attempts to maintain a tough outer demeanor.

==Fiction==

===3H comics===
Having recently been discovered by Nightscream, Dillo and his fellow Deployers [[Mol]] and [[Rav (BM)|Rav]] were escorting the young Maximal and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] back to their hidden base when they were stopped cold by a squad of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] [[Tank Drone]]s. Things looked grim for the group until [[Ramulus]], [[Primal Prime]] and [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] arrived and were all super-awesome and unstoppable. The whole group then journeyed underground, where the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] gave the gathered Cybertronians their tasks. The shifty Maximal [[Packrat]] convinced the Deployers to join up with the [[Wrecker]]s crew.

The Deployers took part in the later battle for the Autobot shuttle that would take the Wreckers off-planet, fighting through hundreds of Vehicon drones. However, once they were on board and off-planet, the Deployers, [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]], and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]] were battered insensible by a stowaway, the bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

Things didn't get much better for Dillo and crew, as an act of sabotage by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] sent explosions rocking through the ship. The section the Deployers, Spittor and Sonar were in was jettisoned by Packrat, leaving the five to die a fiery death in deep space. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[File:Sentinel prime lou.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Well, shoot, who wants the Matrix?]]
'''Sentinel Prime''' is an imposing figure, standing head and shoulders over the average Autobot. Bristling with some of the most heavy-duty weapons and armor available to the Autobot army has instilled in Sentinel Prime a supreme confidence in his own abilities as both a leader and a fighter. Unfortunately such pride usually precedes a fall, and there will always be [[Megatron (G1)|someone]] out there keen to prove a point, or who merely sees Sentinel Prime as an obstacle on the path to a bigger destiny.

Sentinel Prime is typically, but not always, depicted as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s immediate predecessor as [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]].

[[File:Autobot gladiator.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|You've got the pre-Touch! You've got the pre-Power! Pre-Yeah!]]
{{Note|The original cartoon version of Sentinel Prime was never named in fiction. The character is referred to as '''U-Haul Robot''' in the dialogue script for "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4" and was not given the name "Sentinel Prime" until ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' [[retcon|declared it so]] via an [[Ask Vector Prime]] entry. Likewise, the earlier appearance of "U-Haul Robot" was dubbed "Sentinel Major", giving him a pre-Matrix name.}}
'''Sentinel Major''' was originally one of the Quintessons' slave robots on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] around twelve million years ago. Unusual among his consumer goods brethren, Sentinel Major was equipped for combat and was forced to participate in [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial games]] for the Quintessons' amusement, wielding a spiked ball-and-chain weapon and a tire-shaped shield. He was once defeated in battle by [[Prima]], who attacked their Quintesson masters when their match was over, only to be destroyed himself.

Subsequently, the consumer goods robots rose up against the Quintessons in a rebellion that ultimately forced the aliens off the planet. Sentinel Major survived this clash, but he and the rest of his race—now dubbed "Autobots"—were robbed of any chance of peace when the military hardware robots, now known as "[[Decepticon]]s", set their sights on conquering Cybertron for themselves. Two [[Guardian Prime|Autobot]] [[Zeta Prime (G1)|leaders]] fell during the war that ensued, and Sentinel Major inherited the Matrix of Leadership and became '''Sentinel Prime''', leader of the Autobots. Under his leadership, the Autobots realized that they would never be able to defeat the Decepticons with firepower, and they turned instead to stealth, reconfiguring their bodies to be able to [[Transformation|transform]] into other forms. With the power of his new ability, Sentinel Prime defeated the [[Trannis|Decepticons' leader]], and the Autobots won the war.

[[File:Aubotot gladiator vehicle.jpg|left|thumb|He transforms into Rhi, the forgotten Beast Rider.]]
The ensuing period of peace was known as the [[Golden Age|Golden Age of Cybertron]], but, around nine million years BCE, the Decepticon threat re-emerged when they too adopted transformation, and coupled it with robot-mode flight powers. One of the first of this new breed of Decepticons, the malevolent [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], killed Sentinel Prime in combat. As he died, Sentinel Prime handed off the Matrix to [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], who kept it safe until the emergence of the next Autobot leader, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]].

When [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] journeyed into the Matrix in 2005, Sentinel Prime was the sixth guide he encountered. Sentinel Prime recounted the development of transformation, the Autobot victory in the war and the rise of Megatron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

Sentinel Prime was Autobot leader for the first 500,000 years of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. With [[trithyllium]] alloy armor, an [[electro-disrupter]] and a large variety of other weapons, including various forms of artillery shell, a solar energy rifle and energon-charged sword, Sentinel Prime was a giant among giants. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}

8.2 million years ago, Sentinel Prime faced Megatron on the battlefields of [[Tyrest]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide|The Ultimate Guide}} He proved no match for the Decepticon leader; with his last words, he tried in vain to reason with Megatron, but Megatron was unmoved by his "sermon and doctrine" and slew him. Sentinel, however, had considered his death a likely possibility, and had already removed the Matrix of Leadership from his body before entering battle, preventing Megatron from acquiring it. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}}

Millions of years later, during the war on Earth, the Matrix used a vision of Sentinel Prime to strengthen Optimus Prime's resolve during a battle with Megatron by confronting him with the claim that Megatron had chosen Optimus to be Prime, knowing that he was weak. Megatron's alleged influence over the Prime selection process was never substantiated. Soon after, the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]] created a robotic duplicate of Sentinel Prime to confuse Optimus and undermine his confidence. Though possessing all of Sentinel Prime's considerable abilities, Optimus eventually realized that the duplicate had been created from his own memories of Sentinel Prime, and was incapable of doing anything ''new''. Optimus destroyed the duplicate of Sentinel Prime, having largely overcome his own doubts about his fitness to be Autobot leader. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}

In the years before the dawn of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Sentinel had worked his way up to becoming the head of security for the [[Senate]]; {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}} unbeknownst to his employers, he secretly assembled a militia of sleeper agents, recruited from his closest informants. Using a forerunner of the infamous [[shadowplay]] technique, Sentinel conditioned them to serve him if the time ever came. {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}}

One of the duties of his security force was to go around threatening and killing people who got in the Senate's way or risked embarrassing it. Shortly after an assassination attempt on [[Nominus Prime]], he eagerly watched Senator [[Proteus]] announcing the implementation of the "[[Clampdown (event)|Clampdown]]", which would improve security at the cost of "some of the freedoms" of the populace. He was constantly interrupted by reports that an intruder was fighting his way into the [[Grand Imperium]], defeating all the security squadrons Sentinel sent at him. Interested in seeing how things would play out, he stood by as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]] entered the Senate's chamber and confronted them over their corruption and detached relation to the populace. Proteus eventually ordered Sentinel to have him removed. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}}

As the Clampdown began, the Senate, who were behind the attack on Nominus Prime to begin with, had Sentinel try to tap into the powers of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the Prime's chest. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 3: The Chaos of Warm Things|The Chaos of Warm Things}} In the process, Sentinel discovered that the Matrix was merely a fake, and with this revelation the Senate decided they had no more use for Nominus and had him killed. They went on to spread rumours that Sentinel was showing signs of affinity for being a Prime {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 1: Post Hoc|Post Hoc}} while he got to work on planning a "Decepticon terrorist attack" that would give him an excuse to round up all proto-Decepticons and send them [[Institute|off for brainwashing]]. {{storylink|Shadowplay, Part 2: Patternism|Patternism}} While [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Orion Pax]] thwarted this, Sentinel's men were still able to discover that [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Senator Shockwave]] was quietly forming an army of dissident [[Outlier (group)|outliers]]. Sentinel ordered Shockwave's academy destroyed in an "accident" and Shockwave himself taken into custody. The rebellious Senator confronted Sentinel and Proteus with his knowledge of their illegal takeover of the Senate, but they were nonplussed and had him subjected to [[empurata]] and [[shadowplay|Brainwashing]]. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}} {{storylink|Shockwaves}} Orion Pax and his team had a Dead <s>Or Alive</s> warrant put on their heads. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}}

Upon assuming office, Sentinel Prime operated out of the [[Security Services Headquarters]] in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], generally regarded as "the worst place on Cybertron." By this point Sentinel had developed great disdain for government authority, irritated that they kept telling him how to ''do things'' instead of just giving him what he asked for. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} He would even claim he didn't get to set policy. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} Years later, [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] would say Sentinel took the bad Senate and made it get worse. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} He worked alongside [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]], his [[Second-in-command|lieutenant]], and didn't seem that keen on him either, viewing Prowl's methodical approach as anathema to his more straightforward and brutal tactics. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}} Sentinel also formed an [[Elite Guard]] for all the important work he wanted done and not known about, like secretly capturing a spark hot spot so it could be experimented on and the [[Functionist Council]] couldn't use it. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}} During this time, Sentinel and Prowl briefly visited [[Moonbase Two|Luna 2]] to check up on the progress of a new [[energon]] mine supervised by [[Soundwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 2: Another Mine|Another Mine}}

[[File:MegatronOrigin1 Sentinel face.jpg|upright=1.5|left|thumb|I am not a crook's head!]]

Sentinel's Elite Guard clashed with Orion Pax's outlaws over the hot spot and, well, turned out not to be that elite: Sentinel hired bruisers, not people with brains. He lost the hot spot to Pax. {{storylink|Elegant Chaos Part 1: All Our Parlous Yesterdays|All Our Parlous Yesterdays}}
At some point, Sentinel did something later remembered as "lay[ing] claim to a populated world". {{storylink|New Worlds Order}}

When Senator [[Decimus]] was badly injured in a riot, Sentinel ordered Prowl to handle the situation as he didn't "have the struts to deal with another whining senator": if only they gave him "what I need"! {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} After a surge in illegal [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial bloodsports]] where [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron's]] rose to prominence, he personally took charge of the investigation from Prowl, ordered tactical recon teams ("Panorama") to watch eight potential venues and intelligence officers to watch ''everything'', and a core strike team ("Hammer") to hit Megatron's "cult" when the venue was identified. Officers [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] and [[Fastback (G1)|Fastback]] did indeed find a venue but unfortunately, both were murdered before they could report in. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 2|Megatron Origin #2}}

[[File:MegatronOrigin4-SentinelPrime Apexarmor.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|I remember my body. Flabby, pasty-skinned, riddled with phlebitis. A good Republican body. God, how I loved it.]]

Sentinel Prime vowed not to let their deaths be in vain, and at their funeral, the Autobot leader urged others to let their deaths be a call to arms. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3}} In private, he told his closest minions that he planned to find a Titan and unleash it on the Decepticons! {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}} Eventually, after Senator Decimus was kidnapped by the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]] at Megatron's orders, Sentinel Prime led a raid on Megatron's base. They captured Megatron and most of the others, but were forced to free Soundwave per Senate directive, much to Prime's frustration. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 3|Megatron Origin #3}} Unfortunately for Sentinel, this had been Megatron's plan all along and a "defecting" Starscream released all the prisoners in the Security Services' HQ!

As chaos broke out across Kaon, Sentinel Prime held the line until he decided to take things to the next level. Thus, Prime returned with his massive "[[Apex Armor (G1)|Apex]]" mode, a battle-armor/super-powerful/more-firepower-than-god mode. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}} His ensuing duel with Megatron was watched from behind the scenes by Soundwave and Shockwave. {{storylink|Soundwaves (issue)|Soundwaves}} The additional firepower didn't make much of a difference, seeing as Megatron tore into it and pulled Prime off a cliff. Sentinel was defeated by Megatron. Afterwards, the former Prime's barely functional body was dumped into the middle of the Autobot forces. Prowl ordered a retreat. We would too.

The next morning, Megatron discussed his next moves with Soundwave... sitting on a throne made out of Prime's Apex Armor. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 4|Megatron Origin #4}} Rumours spread that Sentinel had survived his battle until the replacement Senate put out footage of the body being retrieved. Sentinel's body was subsequently laid to rest, and received a state funeral at the [[Primal Basilica]] in which grieving crowds lined the streets. With his first body damaged beyond repair, Infinitus secretly abandoned his old body and went into hiding beneath Kaon. Unable to explain this baffling "mutilation", Prowl claimed that Sentinel's body had been desecrated by Decepticons, who had stolen Sentinel's head. Megatron was left irritated people would blame him for that. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} Sentinel Prime was immediately succeeded by [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]], {{storylink|Spotlight: Blurr}} and, in spite of his many issues, Sentinel's last stand against Megatron meant that the Autobots remembered him as a hero, his last deed outweighing his many flaws. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

[[File:LastLight-Infinitusescapes.jpg|upright=1.5|left|thumb|Time for Dicky to get tricky!]]

From his hiding spot, Infinitus worked to build a new body for himself. This took longer than he expected; according to Infinitus, he was "subconsciously attuning" himself to the [[spark]] frequencies of the Titans, and slipped in and out of consciousness over many millions of years. {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}}

Shortly before the [[Dead Universe]] invasion in 2006, Optimus Prime would recall Sentinel Prime as he ruminated on the supposed infallibility of a Prime versus the depressing reality. {{storylink|Spotlight: Optimus Prime}}

Following the end of the war in 2012, Prowl recalled Sentinel's militarism as part of the lineage of 'false Primes' and their failings, expressing that while the Decepticons may have had noble intentions back then, they were long lost by the modern era. {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt (IDW)|Dinobot Hunt}} [[Nova Prime]] briefly took on the appearance of Sentinel Prime as he battled Optimus within the [[Dead Universe]]. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}}

[[File:TitansReturn Infinitus Sentinel.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|NIXON'S BAAAAACK!]]

In 2016, an irate Starscream—now running Cybertron—was left spitting teeth at the idea anyone might give Optimus a pass for annexing Earth. He compared the action to Sentinel, saying he'd been the last Prime to lay claim to a populated world. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}} When the [[Council of Worlds]] next convened, Starscream cited Sentinel Prime as one in a series of increasingly corrupt Primes in an attempt to discredit Optimus's recent annexation of [[Earth]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} The crewmembers on the ''[[Lost Light]]'' discussed Sentinel frankly as a dangerous ideologue with [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] calling him the first Decepticon. Since everyone usually referred to Sentinel Prime in heroic terms, [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] was left confused; Chromedome explained that he'd "lived badly but died well".

Meanwhile, the emergence of [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]] on [[Earth]] had prompted the creation of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]], accompanied an energy broadcast immortalizing the deeds of Optimus Prime. This burst awoke Sentinel Prime, still hiding beneath Kaon. The former leader viewed Metrotitan's transmission... only to be disgusted by the sight of Autobots fraternizing with Decepticons and the "malformed" colonists from the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] colonies—signs of ''compromise'' that he could not abide. Sentinel activated his new body, then headed to the Decepticon ghetto outside of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], vowing to purge his planet of "inferiors" {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} Trouncing [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]]'s security forces, Sentinel opened fire indiscriminately and killed 23 individuals before attacking Starscream with a [[spark disruptor]]. {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}} {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] managed to save Starscream's life by taking the weapon into her own Spark chamber, but the two were unable to stop Sentinel from bridging to Earth. After arriving outside Autobot City, he took down [[Aileron]] and destroyed the [[Space bridge|spacebridge]] behind him. Sentinel took a moment to appreciate Optimus Prime's imperialistic spirit... a moment that was cut short when Infinitus detached himself from his host body, vowing to burn down everything that his successor had created. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

[[File:WhiteLight-bodyjackinginfinitus.jpg|upright=1.5|thumb|left|"Now look here, you drugged-out Communist. I paid for this body and I'd no sooner return it than I would my little cocker spaniel dog, Checkers!"]]

His first obstacle was Alpha Trion, who he sneered at for only ever talking and ''doing'' nothing during his reign. In a brief fight, Sentinel cut Trion's head off and took control of his alternate mode as a personal plane, while Sentinel's headless body stayed behind to engage the Autobots as a distraction. Wearing Trion's body, Sentinel retrieved his fellow Titan Master [[Sovereign]], who had been under a deep-cover identity as the human [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]], and flew him back to Metrotitan to be fully transformed. After reuniting with his main body, he had Sovereign warp them, Soundwave, and Optimus Prime away. {{storylink|White Light}}

The quartet traveled to the remains of the planet [[Prion (planet)|Prion]], abandoned by [[Micronus Prime]] to die with the [[Mini-Con]]s he had watched over. Sentinel explained his history to Optimus, revealed that the identity of "Sentinel" had always been a lie to conceal his true heritage as a Titan Master, and, with Onyx's return imminent, offered his successor a chance to join him and Sovereign in their new crusade. When Soundwave insulted his Primehood, Infinitus had Sovereign impale him using Alpha Trion's body before Optimus then tackled Sentinel into Sovereign, freeing Soundwave and giving the Decepticon enough time to reawaken Sovereign's "Blackrock" persona. Undeterred, Sentinel simply grabbed Sovereign and fled through Prion's spacebridge vowing to destroy the current Cybertron. {{storylink|White Heat}}

[[File:TenToMidnight-twovstwo.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"I've become bitter, and, let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place!"]]

The Titan Master duo arrived on [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]], where Sentinel intended to finally put his old contingency plan into play by first reactivating the hordes of dead Titans that littered the moon's surface. Along the way, Sentinel cut down the Autobot [[Outrigger]] and ordered Sovereign to devour his spark to power his own system; when Sovereign refused and Outrigger escaped, Sentinel hardwired him into a Titan's brain module and had it make a beeline for the moon's [[Planetary engine|thruster]]s. [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] tried to stand up to Sentinel, but the evil Prime revealed that Red Alert had been one of his many sleeper agents, and promptly triggered the mental conditioning that led him to shoot Prowl, leaving only [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] to stand up to Sentinel. {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}}

As Red Alert battled Fortress Maximus, Sentinel gloated to Cerebros and revealed the full scope of his plan: using the [[quantum foam]] from Luna 1's engines, he would supercharge a spacebridge to Cybertron, allowing a horde of reanimated Titan corpses to travel through the portal and destroy everything on Cybertron, leaving a blank slate on which he could rebuild his "perfect" Autobot society. But before he could deliver the final blow, Prowl smashed a [[Mobile Autobot Repair Bay|M.A.R.B.]] over his head; Fortress Maximus commandeered one of the many Titans to fend off the [[zombie]] horde, holding off as many of Sentinel's Titans as he could, while Prowl and Cerebros confronted Sentinel himself. Sentinel quickly dispatched the pair and ordered Red Alert to shoot Prowl in the back of the head—but Red Alert had already broken Sentinel's conditioning, and shot his Titan Master self off of his larger body. Sentinel was quick to reassert a measure of control over Red Alert, nearly forcing him to blast his own head off before [[Beak]] slammed into Sentinel, sending the Titan Master plummeting into one of the moon's thrusters where he unceremoniously perished. The spacebridge closed without his thoughts keeping it open; {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}} although Fortress Maximus had not been able to prevent ''all'' of the Titans from making it through the bridge, the disruption meant that the Titans would materialize far away from Cybertron and ultimately took many weeks to finally arrive. {{storylink|Ping}}

During the reign of [[Nominus Prime]], Sentinel was called in into investigate an unprecedented accidental forging at the site of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s [[Pyramid (Cybertron)|Pyramid]], and was thus the first 'bot encountered by the newly forged [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}} Eventually, Sentinel would himself rise to the rank of Prime after Nominus Prime surrendered leadership of the Autobots; accepting the Matrix of Leadership, Sentinel Prime took over as the new First Senator. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} In his new role, the Prime adhered to his predecessor's doctrine: his party continued to uphold the historic [[Nominus Edict]] that limited Cybertronian expansionism, {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}} supported Nominus's decision to keep the [[Great General]] [[Pyra Magna]] indefinitely imprisoned, {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} and restrict the forging of new [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s, {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} as well as abolishing the traditional sport of [[gladiatorial combat]]. {{storylink|Transformers Valentine's Day Special}} Before long, Sentinel had developed a reputation for a straightforward and unsubtle approach to diplomacy, {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} although the gravitas that his force of personality exerted over the [[Senate]] was indisputable: without his presence, the Senate would be paralyzed by indecision and infighting. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}} {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}} To keep the existence of hidden-away Titansparks under the Pyramid a secret, Sentinel bribed [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] with the position of Head of Intelligence. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}}

[[File:NauticaHome-SentinelPrime.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|""Demand?" Who are you to demand anything? I run this town! You're just a bunch of low income nobodies!"]]

Just before the outbreak of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], Sentinel Prime and his inner retinue conducted a goodwill tour of Cybertron's various [[Cybertronian colonies|colony worlds]] aboard the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Lodestar (Titan)|Lodestar]], unaware of mounting political tensions on Cybertron between Senator [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]]'s Autobots and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[Decepticon|Ascenticons]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}} With Sentinel Prime offworld, Orion opted to take command of the Senate in between filling in for Sentinel's other duties, such as welcoming newly forged Transformers like [[Gauge]] into the world, {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}} while instructing [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] to keep Sentinel Prime informed. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}}

The situation quickly escalated beyond Pax's ability to control the Ascenticons, and upon learning of both [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Rubble]]'s murders Sentinel Prime promptly cut his tour short. At the colony world of [[Hexagon]], Sentinel informed his cadre of specialists and diplomats that they would set course for Cybertron immediately after all visiting aliens had departed. As Lodestar prepared to set course for home, [[Nautica (G1)|Nautica]] informed him that she and [[Road Rage (G1)|Road Rage]] had foiled a [[Thraal]] plot to destroy their Titan in an attempt to intimidate Cybertron into surrendering their [[A'ovan]] refugees. Unwilling to import such troubles into Cybertronian society, Sentinel ordered Nautica to be silent on this incident and allow it to be handled quietly. {{storylink|Nautica: Home}}

Once Lodestar touched down on Cybertron, Sentinel dismissed Ironhide and made his way directly to the Senate. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Four}} When he arrived, [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] briefed him on the situation, specifically the events concerning [[Barricade (IDW)|Barricade]], who had sought asylum at [[Decepticon Headquarters (G1 Cybertron)|Ascenticon Headquarters]]. Though allowing Orion Pax to try and reason with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], he only gave him until sundown to retrieve Barricade, whereupon he would give Chromia ''carte blanche'' to get to the rogue. {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Five}} Sentinel spent the next few days catching up on what had been going on while he was away, which began to rapidly chip away at what little patience he had. The last straw came when Senator [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] delivered the Ascenticons' demand that, in light of the situation, there be an immediate election. Sentinel emphatically said "no" and subsequently ordered literally every [[Security Operations]] agent out into the field to root out [[The Rise]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part One}}

[[File:TheChangeInYourNaturePart3-SentinelPrime.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.7|"I propose that I use what's left of the town treasury to move to a more prosperous town and run for mayor. And, er, once elected, I will send for the rest of you."]]

Flanked by Orion, Sentinel made a public address where he condemned the Ascenticons and their empty promises. When Pax and Chromia later brought Sentinel an update on the situation, the First Senator allowed the rules of the [[Nominus Edict]] to be bent for the purposes of Security Operations' mission but also made several other changes to their normal operations while stressing success over a zero-fatality rate, deputizing [[Colonial Security]] chiefs [[Firestar (G1)|Novastar]] and [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] to organize proactive response teams. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}} To stamp out the Ascenticons before they could do any more damage, Sentinel also planned to arrest Senator Soundwave at an upcoming debate in a sting operation, only for fellow senator [[Heretech]] to covertly forewarn Megatron of the plan. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Four}}

[[File:RiseOfTheDecepticonsAllFallDown SentinelRejectsOrion.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|"Uh, election in November, election in November." "What? ''Again?!'' This stupid country..."]]
Following a major terrorist attack on Cybertron and the destruction of the [[Tether]], Sentinel and Orion met to assess the scope and scale of the damage. Although Orion urged caution and restraint—rebuilding and reassessing rather than going after the Ascenticons—Sentinel would not be dissuaded from his course of action, and Orion's suggestion that Pyra Magna be released from prison to coordinate an anti-Ascenticon crackdown eroded Sentinel's patience to nothing. Storming from the room, Sentinel shouted that he would pass the Matrix to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] when he stepped down, ''not'' Orion. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: All Fall Down|All Fall Down}} When inflaming societal tensions led to protest marches, Sentinel ordered Ironhide to clear out the crowd. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Swindle's|Swindle's}}

When [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] had finally been detained, Sentinel arranged for the murderer to be publicly marched directly to the [[Senate]] building in the hopes that the spectacle would discourage the Ascenticons and their supporters. However, his unwise pageantry only led to a coordinated strike that ended with [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] murdering the escaped Quake before he could be tried. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Prisoners|Prisoners}} Finally, Sentinel convened an emergency session of the Senate without the Ascenticons, and coined the name "[[Decepticon]]s" as a way to condemn Megatron's underhanded tactics. He didn't get far into this speech before Megatron and his retinue barged into the Senate floor; while [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] restrained Sentinel, Megatron made his own speech that began with him reclaiming Sentinel's off-the-cuff insult and ended with his Decepticon troopers taking over the Senate. {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}}

[[File:WarWorldPrime-SentinelDies.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Oh, I bet I'll get blamed for this..."]]
While Megatron kept most of his prisoners on the Senate floor itself, he had Sentinel and Orion moved to a high-security prison wing, and took a moment to gloat in front of the imprisoned First Senator. Despite Sentinel's final warning—that if Megatron restarted the cycle of colonization and expansion that had defined Cybertron's past, other races would surely fight back against Cybertron—Megatron was more interested in the Matrix he carried. [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] and the [[Senate Guard]] eventually broke into the Senate building and freed Sentinel, but stopped their leader from going to personally settle his score with Megatron. After escaping to the Autobot fallback point, Sentinel instead decided to find a relay tower and broadcast a message that Megatron had not yet won—but as he transformed and flew off, he recklessly ignored the fact that the Autobot resistance didn't have any fliers to cover his departure. Sure enough, Megatron ordered the [[Rainmaker]]s to bring him back, and the three knocked him out of the sky and sent him crashing into a nearby [[The Slaarg & Turbofox|bar]]. While Sentinel easily pounded [[Ion Storm]] into a nearby wall, [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]'s corrosive barrage weakened him and [[Nova Storm (G1)|Nova Storm]] sliced him in half. Chromia and Orion arrived too late to save him. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}} Deducing Starscream's betrayal, to protect the Titansparks from the Decepticons, {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} Sentinel, with his last words, told Orion to warn [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], kill Starscream, and pass his Matrix on to Ultra Magnus before he succumbed to his wounds and died. After taking the Matrix, Orion Pax glimpsed Sentinel Prime's spirit among the many other Cybertronian leaders who had carried the artifact before accepting the mantle of ''Optimus'' Prime. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}}

Laying Sentinel Prime's tattered body to rest, Optimus and Ironhide reflected on his last words and their meaning. Despite their past differences, Optimus Prime respectfully praised Sentinel for rising to meet the demands of leadership the Matrix placed on him and hoped to do the same. {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}}

**''Accessories:'' 2 guns, Infinitus Titan Master
:Sentinel Prime is part of the first wave of ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Voyager Class toys. He transforms from robot to shuttle to battle tank-which-looks-a-lot-like-a-train. Both vehicle modes make use of lots of flip-out panels to fill in his vehicle mode, leaving very little robo-kibble visible. Sentinel takes design cues from both Generation 1 [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] and [[Alex Milne]]'s IDW Sentinel Prime, whilst Infinitus's robot mode is entirely the Sentinel design.

:His [[Titan Master]] partner [[Infinitus#Toys|Infinitus]] transforms into his head (but any [[Titan Master]]-class figure is compatible), and he features spring-loaded pylons that pop out of his shoulders on either side of his head to "bulk up" his noggin, like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager-class figures. Despite restricting the articulation for his neck, the pylons themselves are in an assembly which can be rotated for better range of motion. Sentinel can be transformed into his shuttle mode without removing his head, leaving it somewhat hidden on its backside.

:He includes two hand-held, non-firing blasters which can be combined to form a larger double-barreled weapon. The larger gun or the combined mode can be piloted by a Titan Master. Each weapon has multiple pegs which can be mounted on the wing struts, wing tips, knees, or shoulder slots. Sentinel himself can be piloted from a translucent yellow cabin between his rear stabilizers.

:The computer-generated promo art and additional stock photos for this figure is apparently inaccurate, depicting Sentinel with the ends of his train mode for feet, while his instructions use the nose cone portion of the shuttle mode. The train engine ends ''can'' be used as feet, but they sit at an awkward angle that makes it hard for Sentinel to stand upright. He also appears to be a darker, less saturated orange than the final product.

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

:This mold was also made into ''Titans Return'' [[Astrotrain (G1)/toys#Titans Return|Astrotrain]] and served as the model for [[Omega Sentinel (Energon)|Omega Sentinel]] in the [[Primus Vanguard]].

==Notes==
*In an impressive case of [[size changing]], U-Haul Robot's head alone forms the ''entire'' driver's section of the truck cab!
*In a few instances throughout the third season of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 animated series]], the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]] [[Long Haul (G1)|Long Haul]] appears in the U-Haul Robot's color scheme. Guess [[AKOM]] got their "Hauls" mixed up!
*The retelling of [[Unicron]]'s origin in the UK comics included a brief glimpse of a dying Matrix bearer passing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to Optimus Prime. However, as he is unnamed, the only way we can presume this being is Sentinel Prime is because, as we are told later, Sentinel Prime was the leader before Optimus. Fun fact: "[[State Games]]" calling Optimus Prime "Optimus Prime" means Sentinel does this pre-war!
*Sentinel's 2007 IDW design was based on his first (and otherwise only prior) appearance in the 1988 Marvel comics panel shown above. The resemblance is a little more obvious in ''[[Spotlight: Optimus Prime]]'' than it is in his more stylized appearance in ''Megatron Origin'', but his yellow-red-and-orange armor, crested helm, and the row of three small "windows" on his chest are all derived from his Marvel look. IDW's Sentinel is also very heavily armed, not unlike the description of the character given by the ''Hardwired'' novel.
*Sentinel Prime didn't receive a proper toy until 2016, but he did come close previously. As revealed in the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] roundtable panel at [[BotCon 2007]], the original concept for the convention-[[exclusive]] [[redeco]] of Deluxe Class [[Cybertron Defense Team (Cybertron)|Cybertron Defense]] [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#CyCDF|Hot Shot]] was Sentinel Prime. The mold DOES bear a decent resemblance to his IDW appearance, but in the end it was decided that [[Springer (G1)/toys#Timelines|Springer]] was a better choice for the mold (and likely for the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|ongoing club comic]] story).
*The resurrected Sentinel in the 2005-2018 IDW continuity appears to be wearing modular, black armor over his toy design, rather than having the toy design itself.
*According to [[ABN]] in [[Recordicons issue 9|''Recordicons'' #9]], Vector Prime "always lies about Five Faces of Darkness". If true, this would mean that the guy from Five Faces isn't necessarily Sentinel Prime; we're keeping this page as-is because there's no objective evidence either way, and Sentinel Prime is more convenient as a page title than "U-Haul Robot".

[[File:Dillo Botcon.jpg|thumb|300px]]

'''Dillo''' is a reformatted ancient task drone who was found by [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]. As one of the [[Deployer (BM)|Deployers]], he is capable of quick transformation abilities. He was taught by an [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|ancient Autobot tracker]] in the ways of the mace bollo. Unfortunately he only uses it while retreating. He is a bit of a coward, but attempts to maintain a tough outer demeanor.

==Fiction==
[[File:Ravdillo.jpg|thumb|left]]
===3H comics===
Having recently been discovered by Nightscream, Dillo and his fellow Deployers [[Mol]] and [[Rav (BM)|Rav]] were escorting the young Maximal and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] back to their hidden base when they were stopped cold by a squad of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] [[Tank Drone]]s. Things looked grim for the group until [[Ramulus]], [[Primal Prime]] and [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] arrived and were all super-awesome and unstoppable. The whole group then journeyed underground, where the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] gave the gathered Cybertronians their tasks. The shifty Maximal [[Packrat]] convinced the Deployers to join up with the [[Wrecker]]s crew.

The Deployers took part in the later battle for the Autobot shuttle that would take the Wreckers off-planet, fighting through hundreds of Vehicon drones. However, once they were on board and off-planet, the Deployers, [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]], and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]] were battered insensible by a stowaway, the bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

Things didn't get much better for Dillo and crew, as an act of sabotage by [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] sent explosions rocking through the ship. The section the Deployers, Spittor and Sonar were in was jettisoned by Packrat, leaving the five to die a fiery death in deep space. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
Dillo was one of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]]'s [[Maximal]]s. After his master invaded [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and felled [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], Dillo was sent out of [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]] under [[Liege Maximo]]'s command to root out the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s companions. {{Storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}}

Dillo was one of the many warriors who wound up battling [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Arcee]] and fell to his death when Arcee disrupted the [[Ore-4|gravity generator]] in Nemesis. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}}

[[File:Nightscreambm.jpg|upright=2.25|thumb|I'd hit that...with a [[brick (term)|brick]].]]
When armies of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]] conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], young '''Nightscream''' survived alone in the darkness below the surface of the planet. This trauma influences much of his behavior. He's always on the defensive. Paranoid. Rude. Distrusting. Confrontational. But really, he's just a troubled kid, and he's been through a lot. Inside, he's got a good heart. He's just got to learn to stop fighting friends and enemies alike.

Regardless, he seems to have found a kindred spirit in the wild [[Noble (BM)|Noble]] creature.

==Fiction==

[[File:ForbiddenFruit prebeast Nightscream.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|I'm with the Vehicons here.]]
When the Vehicons and their virus struck, Nightscream ran and panicked like many Maximals. Fleeing underground, he fell down a hole during the attack, and everything went dark. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}} Though he would not recall the details later, somehow he wandered into a [[fossil chamber|cave]] containing the fossils of a prehistoric bat-like creature. His internal [[DNA scanner]]s used them to reformat him into an organic beast form and save him, at least temporarily, from the virus. {{storylink|Survivor}} Nightscream's mental state at this point is unknown, but he seems to have spent the next period trapped in his bat form, hiding and feeding off a strange fruit tree he found growing below the planet's surface. Eventually, [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] and company arrived and, distrustful, he began to spy on their activities, hoping to work out how to transform.

[[File:ForbiddenFruit titlescreen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Cue Zelda "item get" music.]]

Nightscream fled when they spotted him, flying through the tunnels until they managed to corner him. When [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] turned up, Nightscream accused them of leading the Vehicons to him, but after they began fighting the [[Aero Drone|aero drones]], he realised his mistake and used a sonic cry to disorientate the Vehicons. He subsequently lead the other Maximals to his tree. [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] suspected a trap on the part of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], more so when the other Maximals ate the fruit and reverted to their beast instincts, but Nightscream objected loudly to the accusation. They were shortly found by Jetstorm again, forcing Cheetor to destroy the fruit tree to restore his friends, but to Nightscream's anguish. The young Maximal was injured by the Vehicons during the battle, and Primal reformatted him into a [[technorganic]] bat. Reveling in his new form, Nightscream used a [[Sonic Scream]] to destroy the aero drones and drained energon from Jetstorm. Afterward, he accepted Cheetor's invitation to join the Maximal team. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}}

With Primal weakened by the reformatting, Cheetor, Nightscream and [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] went on a mission to gather information from a Vehicon factory. Nightscream discovered that disabling the [[Vehicon general]]s disabled all of the drones they controlled. However, the plan they developed was inadvertently ruined by Rattrap, who'd thought that Nightscream was in trouble. Annoyed at Rattrap's foul-ups, Nightscream suggested they get rid of him, but Cheetor angrily turned down the idea, saying that they should cover for their friend. Unknown to them, the discussion led Rattrap to join Megatron, albeit temporarily, and the Maximals later found themselves confronting their comrade. It was only when Primal interceded that Rattrap rejoined them. {{storylink|The Weak Component}}

[[File:Revelations3 Nightscream.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|Why, this car could go like... ''Greased Lightning!'']]
After another encounter with [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]], Nightscream became dissatisfied with Primal's ability to lead and suggested Cheetor take command, though his suggestion was rebuffed. They later discovered a factory of corpses with evidence of [[spark]] removal. The factory was destroyed in another battle, and Nightscream was saddened at the loss, though Rattrap pointed out they could build new bodies when they found the sparks. {{storylink|Revelations Part I: Discovery|Discovery}} With Cheetor in command, the Maximals set about trying to access [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]]'s memories so they could find out what happened. Nightscream and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] were assigned to keep Thrust and Jetstorm busy, but Blackarachnia's belief that Thrust housed the spark of her lover, [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]], resulted in her being overpowered by the two generals. Nightscream attempted to help, but was unable to stop Thrust extracting Blackarachnia's spark. {{storylink|Revelations Part II: Descent|Descent}} Nightscream pursued the two generals, retrieving Blackarachnia's spark from Jetstorm before dropping an elevator on the Vehicon. After then defeating Thrust, he was able to restore the spark to Blackarachnia's body, and the pair joined Cheetor and Rattrap, who had discovered that Tankor was their old friend [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]. Rhinox, unfortunately, was siding with Megatron's view of a technological Cybertron, and Primal insisted they let him go. {{storylink|Revelations Part III: Apocalypse|Apocalypse}}

[[File:Survivor Nightscream sonic.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Rattrap's attempts at accessing Nightscream's memories turned up the fact that he had a built-in DNA scanner, providing a vital clue. He clashed with the other Maximals over their losing of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], however, and was reminded that they'd lost friends during that war. The Maximals headed for the cave which had housed Nightscream's fruit tree, only to find it had been sealed off. As Nightscream tried to use his Sonic Scream to break through, they were attacked by Vehicons, and Nightscream was abducted. The [[Diagnostic Drone]] attempted to analyse Nightscream's physiology, but the young Maximal was able to escape, pursued through the underground corridors by the Vehicons. With the help of the other Maximals, he eluded his captors, eventually ending up in a cave full of fossils. The realisation that, had he not been caught up in himself, he could have saved other [[Transformer]]s, caused Nightscream great anguish. Optimus commiserated with him, and the Maximals took up residence in the cave. {{storylink|Survivor}}

[[File:TheKey Nightscream holding skull.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|Alas, poor whoever he was.]]
After Tankor found the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] and confronted the Maximals, Nightscream threw himself between the Vehicon and Optimus, taking a blast from the key and being turned into [[Living metal#Beast Era|technomatter]]. Losing his sanity, Nightscream passed the technomatter sickness on to Blackarachnia before the other Maximals were able to use the [[organic goop]] they'd discovered to cure them both. {{storylink|The Key}} Nightscream, Optimus and Cheetor rescued Rattrap from some overgrowing vines after Rattrap discovered a catalyst to improve the goo. Though Optimus forbade them from using the catalyst in combat, the other three used it to rescue Blackarachnia from the Vehicons, which almost spelled doom for the Maximal orchard. {{storylink|The Catalyst}}

After Primal discovered the location of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], the other Maximals persuaded him to try it their way first, and, while Rattrap attempted to tap into Megatron's computer, the other Maximals fought against the Vehicons. Unfortunately, they were overpowered and converted into technomatter by the Vehicon drones. {{storylink|End of the Line}} The clashing energies of the Key and the Plasma Energy Chamber cancelled each other out, restoring the four Maximals, who discovered that Optimus, Megatron and Tankor had all perished during the final battle. Finding no answers above ground, they traveled down to see the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], and, finding Primal floating within, persuaded him to choose life and rejoin them. {{storylink|Fallout (episode)|Fallout}}

[[File:SavageNoble Nightscream narrowed eyes.jpg|upright=1.45|thumb|"I have...no fans?"]]
On discovering a [[Grand Mal|giant floating head]] with the likeness of Megatron, Blackarachnia and Nightscream attempted to infiltrate it, only to be repelled by its defences. The Maximals soon encountered a dragon-like beast dubbed Savage by the Vehicons, and shortly after, a wolf Maximal named [[Noble (BM)|Noble]], whom Nightscream regarded as a kindred spirit and quickly befriended. When Noble went missing, Nightscream worried that Savage had killed their new friend. However, once they cornered Savage, Nightscream was able to talk to the beast, and it transpired that Savage and Noble were one and the same, a completely organic Transformer. {{storylink|Savage Noble}} Nightscream valued his new friendship, even rebuking the other Maximals over their treatment of Noble. When the other Maximals infiltrated the [[Council Citadel]], Noble dashed in after them, and Nightscream followed. During their attempt to access Megatron's computer, Noble ripped Rattrap from the [[control harness]] and attempted to use it himself. Failing, he used a [[spark extractor]] to rip his own spark out and took over the giant flying head. In reality, Noble had been Megatron, trapped in his own organic half, and had taken advantage of Nightscream's compassion. Nightscream was shattered by the betrayal. {{storylink|Prometheus Unbound}}

[[File:InDarkestKnight Nightscream and Noble.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]
Noble himself lived on, though sparkless and lacking in intelligence. Nightscream didn't give up on his friend, and he searched [[Cybertropolis]] at length. During a battle with Vehicons, Nightscream was knocked out by Thrust but rescued by Savage, who dragged him off. Nightscream recovered to find himself in Noble's lair, being offered metallic fruit. An ill-advised rescue attempt on Rattrap's part caused Noble to revert to Savage and chase the pair. They were able to divert his attention to Thrust, and Nightscream insisted that they should try to help Noble, but Primal said he would come to them when he was ready. {{storylink|In Darkest Knight}}

Megatron's re-engineered [[Hate Plague]] virus infected all of the Maximals, causing them to fight amongst themselves until Optimus was able to help them overcome it. Despite this, Nightscream blamed Silverbolt for the virus's spread. {{storylink|A Wolf in the Fold}} After a spaceship crashed, the Maximals headed for the site. Nightscream and Silverbolt took the option of going by air, though Nightscream made it obvious he wasn't enthusiastic about being partnered with the new Maximal. After encountering a strange plant creature, the Maximals were surprised to discover it was a Maximal named [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]]. Once again, they found themselves fighting [[Tank Drone|tank drones]], and at one point Silverbolt saved Nightscream's life, finally turning the young Maximal's opinion of him. {{storylink|Home Soil}}

Nightscream's attempts to persuade Silverbolt to be nicer to Blackarachnia were interrupted when the pair encountered two new Vehicon generals, [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] and [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. The other Maximals joined the fight, but were outclassed and trapped by the new generals until Botanica rescued them. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. I: The Strike|The Strike}} In search of the missing sparks, Optimus and Nightscream ventured underground, finding the ancient city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. While Primal was conferring with a hologram of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Nightscream found himself being overwhelmed by [[Cycle Drone]]s and was only rescued by the arrival of Savage. Later, Optimus revealed that he'd discovered the location of the missing sparks. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search|The Search}}

[[File:Sparkwar3 Nightscream and dead Noble.jpg|upright=1.34|thumb|"Hey! Primal didn't send him to a farm at ''all!''"]]
Nightscream, Cheetor and Silverbolt fought the Vehicons while the others infiltrated the giant floating head. However, they were too late to prevent Megatron's attempt at ascension, fueled by the captured sparks. As Megatron attempted to remove Nightscream's spark, Savage came to their aid and attempted to attack Megatron, only to be blasted by the evil spark. Savage fell to the ground and reverted to Noble, who died in Nightscream's arms. Enraged, Nightscream used his Sonic Scream to blast Megatron, apparently destroying the evil spark. The Maximals later held a funeral service for Noble. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. III: The Siege|The Siege}} Though the Maximals celebrated Megatron's demise, their enemy lived on as a disembodied spark. Megatron was unable to maintain the use of a single body for long, and Nightscream and Cheetor tangled with him in the body of a deceased aero drone. Megatron eventually became stuck in the form of a Diagnostic Drone. {{storylink|Spark of Darkness}}

[[File:Endgame1 Nightscream sonic attack.jpg|left|upright=1.34|thumb|'''****YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!''']]
With the Maximals besieged on the giant head, Nightscream, Silverbolt and Blackarachnia attempted to keep the Vehicons busy. They were able to find a Vehicon factory, where Nightscream tricked Megatron and managed to blow up the facility. Though the trio was able to catch Botanica's pod when Rattrap ejected her from the head, they were unable to do anything when the Vehicons brought the giant head itself crashing to the ground. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. I: The Downward Spiral|The Downward Spiral}} As the Maximals prepared for the Vehicon assault, Optimus consulted the Oracle, and they were bestowed with extra spark power. During the battle, Botanica became aware that the Vehicons were attacking the [[technorganic orchard]], and she went to save it with Rattrap and Nightscream. Nightscream attempted to defend the fossil chamber, but was overwhelmed and, like the other Maximals, had his spark ripped out. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall|When Legends Fall}} Though unable to help physically, the Maximals offered Primal moral support during his one-on-one battle with Megatron. After the [[Great Transformation|reformatting of Cybertron]], Nightscream's spark was restored to his body, and he and the other Maximals found themselves in a technorganic paradise. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future|Seeds of the Future}}

====3H comics====
[[File:NightscreamMol.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|This looks way more phallic than it needs to.]]
During Megatron's rule over Vehicon-held Cybertron, Nightscream and Optimus Primal were able to recover a trio of [[Deployer (BM)|Deployers]] from a remote location far outside of [[Cybertropolis]]. With [[Tank Drone]]s hot on their trail, the intervention of [[Primal Prime]] and the [[Wrecker]]s were eventually required to save them. The Wreckers introduced themselves, and Optimus Primal, Nightscream, and the Deployers accompanied the Wreckers to the Oracle, where other groups had assembled before it to be given instruction. However, at the end of this meeting, the memories of Nightscream and Primal were wiped, their bodies were taken back to the surface, and the Deployers were stolen away by [[Packrat]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

A week after the [[Great Transformation]], the [[Quintesson]]s invaded [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. However, [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]] felt that the true threat was below ground, and she took Nightscream and Rattrap into the subterranean chambers. Here they stumbled upon [[Al-Badur]], a rogue Quintesson, who convinced them he was aiding the Wreckers, and thus on their side, by disabling 30% of the Quintesson invading forces up on the surface.

Shortly thereafter, they met up with the Wreckers proper. As Rattrap spent forever catching up with Tigatron, Nightscream reminded them that they should probably pay more attention to [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]], who was in the planet's core attempting to use the [[Divine Light]] to usurp the power of [[Primus]] and become a [[god]]. Under Al-Badur's direction, the large group eventually made their way to a [[Quintesson execution chamber]] that the Quintesson hoped would help them banish Cryotek to another dimension... if they could lure the Predacon there.

But when Cryotek arrived, he had already grown monstrous due to the Divine Light's effects. Nightscream and some of the others attacked the former gangster, but when Nightscream tried to use his fang attack on him, Cryotek was able to grab the line that connected Nightscream to the projectile fangs and slam Nightscream into [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]]. Al-Badur was able to trap Cryotek in a containment bubble that would imminently vanish their nemesis, but the Wreckers leader [[Sentinel Maximus]] was caught inside it with him. Nightscream and the others tried to destroy the bubble, but the young Maximal's Sonic Scream had no effect. Only the combined efforts of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] were able to thwart it, though the strain killed Rodimus. Nightscream was stunned into near silence, as he'd only read things about Rodimus' younger days, and the sacrifice awed him. But Rodimus's sacrifice was negated by Sentinel Maximus's, who had pushed himself and Cryotek through the portal in the bubble into the void beyond.

When the media arrived, Nightscream was eager to hog the spotlight, but [[Rook (Universe)|Rook]] ignored him. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

====''Transformers Legends'' anthology====
While attacking the Maximals in a trashed Jet drone, Megatron noted that he hated Nightscream for interrupting his ascension. Nightscream attempted to use his taser fangs on Megatron, who used the connection to shock the Maximal, whilst wondering whether any of Nightscream's verbal outbursts ever made any sense. {{storylink|Singularity Ablyss}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:Nightscreamtranstechbat.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|If he says "music to my ears", we will end him.]]
In [[Primax 209.0 Gamma|one universe]], the Autobots and Decepticons had grown too decrepit to continue waging the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Constructing the Maximals and Predacons as new armies to continue the conflict, an entire generation of Cybertronians was brought up knowing nothing but war. Nightscream was a member of [[Blackarachnia (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Blackarachnia]]'s squad, and after the death of Rhinox and Silverbolt conspired with her to kill their commander, Optimus Primal. After Primal's demise, he fled with her and activated an experimental [[Unspace|transwarp]] device, seeking to flee Cybertron. The device transported them to [[Axiom Nexus]], where they were discovered by the native [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s, processed, and assigned to [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]. Taking advantage of Nightscream's discontent, Trion was able to sway him to his cause and procured [[Nightscream (TransTech)|a suitable body]] to transfer his spark to. His new body proving to be a significant upgrade, Nightscream was all too happy to join the rebellion. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25|"TransTech" Blackarachnia's profile in Club magazine #25}}

After returning to Alpha Trion's lab, Nightscream claimed to have discovered where [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]] and his cronies had taken [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]. With this information, Alpha Trion announced an attack on the location that very night. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 4}} At the transit facility, Nightscream went with Blackarachnia and [[Scavenger (BW)|Scavenger]] to secure their escape route while Alpha Trion helped [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] rescue their friend. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 5}} He manned the transwarp controls as the others lept through the portal, leaving him the only witness to Alpha Trion's brutal murder of Skyfall. At Alpha Trion's command, he carried the corpse through the portal with them. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 6}}

Upon arrival in Alpha Trion's home universe, Nightscream began securing equipment from Alpha Trion's old lab for travel, as their materialization had surely been detected by one faction or another. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 1}}

Weeks later, after the assassination of [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], Nightscream and [[Sky Lynx (SG)|Sky Lynx]] followed Alpha Trion to confront Optimus Prime, intent on his assassination as well. Unfortunately, the three had not counted on Prime's new warrior, [[Omega Doom]], and Sky Lynx and Nightscream stared dumbfounded after one blast left their leader a distant smear on the ground. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}} Nightscream was gunned down by Optimus Prime's ion blaster, and apparently left for dead. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

===Legends World===
Along with [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], the [[Legends World]]'s Nightscream (nicknamed "Bat Aunt Chama") was hired by the [[Axalon Trading Company]] to work as an office lady (complete with skirt and hair bow). Rattrap became enamored with how cute both the office ladies were, only to be shocked when Rhinox informed him that the Axalon Trading Company had no women on the payroll. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 4#The Gender Gap|The Gender Gap}} Hoping to get to the bottom of the whole "male or female" thing, Rattrap and Rhinox decided to follow Airazor and Nightscream to see which bathroom they use. They were further confused when they found that their building had no female bathrooms at all. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 9#The Bathroom Gap|The Bathroom Gap}}

During [[Christmas]], Nightscream spent the holiday watching ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' with [[Noble (BM)|Savage]]. {{storylink|Merry X'mas!!}}

Following the destruction of their office building, Nightscream and the other employees began using [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] as their new office. {{storylink|LG14 Ultra Magnus Prologue#The Mysterious Knowledgeable Grandpa Chapter|The Mysterious Knowledgeable Grandpa Chapter}} Nightscream also worked at a "little brother cafe" and was there when the manager, [[Starscream (BW)|Starscream]], explained to another worker, who was [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|another Starscream]], just what kind of cafe it was. {{storylink|LG-18 Armada Starscream Super Mode Prologue}}

Nightscream also had a side job as a movie director, his latest work being ''[[Transformers: Convobat Amazon Showdown]]'' in which he himself starred as [[Convobat]]. He hired most of his coworkers as well as employees of [[Tera-Kura Co.]] to play other roles, but was greatly upset that they were more interested in ad-libbing funny lines than actually following the script. Things got worse when the living [[transtector]] he'd borrowed from [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]] to play Convobat's body went out of control, but they were able to calm it and complete the movie, which was enough of a success that he began working on a sequel. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Convobat)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} While accepting a delivery from [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], Nightscream was so impressed with his new [[Magna Convoy]] body that he offered him a role in his next film. To his disappointment, however, Ginrai had lost the body the next day. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Magna Convoy)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

Nightscream was walking the streets of [[Akihabara]] after it was rebuilt, {{storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Prologue}} was given [[Beastformer]] armor when [[White Leo]] tried to recruit the locals into his army, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 51|Bonus Edition Vol. 51}} and was present when [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]] arrived in the Legends World. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}} He later encountered the discarded [[Noble (BM)|Noble]] and took him in, getting him a job at the [[Wolf Circus]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 63|Bonus Edition Vol. 63}}

[[File:BM Nightscream toy.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2.0|"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-3Hmh1vvdA Nightscream likes extra ketchup.]"]]
*'''Nightscream''' (Ultra Class, [[2000]])
**''Accessories'': 5 launching disks

: This massively out of scale Nightscream (although one could make the case that it is in scale with the later supreme-size Optimus Primal and Cheetor) is fairly show-accurate. The [[beast mode]] is a [[technorganic]] bat. It is molded almost entirely in transparent blue plastic, with some brown paint details to match his show model. The bat head features an articulated jaw, and his [[Spark crystal]] is located on the inside of his chest flap.

:The two main gimmicks of this figure are its disc launcher and "kick-attack" mode. The disc launcher is very similar to the kind ''Beast Wars'' Depth Charge uses, and fires translucent orange discs. The launcher itself has a red LED in it that will illuminate the discs and the surrounding body parts. In [[robot mode]], the disc launcher can only be used when the "chest door" is opened and it is swung forward (as it faces down in this mode). In beast mode, the disc launcher needs to be popped up, which activates the LED and clears the weapon to launch the discs. When in this position, turning the disc launcher also makes the bat head turn in the same direction as they are linked together via a simple gear system, much like the concurrently released Ultra [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]].

:The "kick-attack" mode is really more of a pose for the beast mode. Nightscream's wings actually have little folding-out "feet" on its longest points. These can support the beast mode and by putting the bat feet a little forward, you can make Nightscream kick forward by pushing on his back. This never really worked too well, as the figure usually fell over and the arm joints that allow him to swing were always too stiff. Perhaps one aspect that was pulled off well was Nightscream's little streak of hair included in the head sculpt.

:The translucent blue plastic used for this mold did not age well, and is very brittle. Intact toys are hard to find, not that anyone is actively seeking one.

[[File:BMtoy-NightscreamMcD.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Really good at "We're not worthy!" posturing.]]
*'''Nightscream''' (Happy Meal toy, 2000)

: Greatly simplified for the tykes, Nightscream's fast-food exclusive toy is nonetheless a fairly accurate representation of his cartoon model, albeit with somewhat warped proportions in his beast mode, and supplementary kibble in robot mode. His color scheme has been simplified to be represented with a yellowish-cream color and brown as the more dominant colored plastics, with some opaque blue plastic and translucent blue plastic for the beast mode's head and back, and his robot mode legs/beast mode wings respectively.

*'''Nightscream''' (Little Red Rooster Meal, 2001)

: Strangely, when the McDonald's Happy Meal toys were released in Australia through the Red Rooster restaurant chain the little plastic baggy they came in advertised that it contained Nightscream, Jetstorm, Rattrap or Tankor—even though they used the toy mold for Megatron and not Nightscream. Like the other three toys, it came in four color schemes. He was also retooled to remove the light piping on the original.

*'''Nightscream''' ([[March 26]], [[2005]])
**''ID number:'' '''BR-09'''
**''Accessories'': 5 launching disks

:Released in the second wave of the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars Returns'' line]], Nightscream is a redeco of the ''Beast Machines'' toy, with lighter colors, more chest paint, and different leg paint apps. The toy retains all gimmickry from the previous version, as well as the brittle translucent plastic issue. This figure was available only at Japanese Toys"R"Us stores.

:Released as an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Convobat is a redeco of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Deluxe Class [[Mindwipe (G1)#Generations|Mindwipe]] body, using a Headmaster redecoed from [[Infinitus#Toys|Infinitus]]. Convobat's modules are also compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger ''Titans Return''-style toy. Convobat also comes with a pair of swords originally from ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' Deluxe Class [[Wheeljack (Prime)#Deluxe|Wheeljack]], a [[Megalligator#Toys|Megalligator]] Headmaster redecoed from [[Nucleon (TR)#Toys|Nucleon]], and [[Ape X Arms]], redecoed from Titan Master [[Apeface#Generations|Apeface]]'s accessory, in [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#OptimalOptimus|Optimal Optimus]]'s colors. It does not come with either of the accessories included with Mindwipe, though his shield would eventually see release with [[Magna Convoy#Toys|Magna Convoy]].

:This mold was also used to make [[Dracula#Collaborative|Draculus]].
{{TRInfinitusMold}}

==Notes==
*Story editor Bob Skir originally wanted the character of Nightscream to be a young female Transformer, patterned after the girl "Newt" from the movie ''{{w|Aliens (film)|Aliens}}''. When the Powers That Be nixed that, Nightscream ended up becoming {{w|John Connor}} in ''{{w|Terminator 2: Judgment Day}}'' instead.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071202095033/http://bigbot.com/beast-machines-transformers-bob-skir/Beast-Machines-FAQ/Fri_03_Dec_1999.html Bob Skir Q&A 3 December 1999] (archive copy)</ref> In hindsight, maybe that wasn't the best idea.
*In the Japanese dub of ''Beast Machines'', most of the characters underwent major changes for a more comedic bent. Nightscream in particular was turned into an extremely stereotypical gay man. Like all characters in the dub, he has his own vocal tic: A habit of chanting and repeating "Fū!", which was the catchphrase of Japanese comedian {{w|Masaki Sumitani}} when performing his "Hard Gay" persona (which was popular in the early '00s). Japanese Nightscream was obsessed with fashion and style, making various comments like an effeminate, preening fashionista. His pet name for Rattrap was "Aunty". In the course of the series, Silverbolt spent more time with Nightscream than he did Blackarachnia, as they were both flyers, which incited angry commentary from the jealous fembot (who derisively referred to them as the "homo-tachi" or "gay boys"). Silverbolt constantly denied her accusations, insisting ''he'' wasn't gay. Stay classy, Japan.
**As an extension of his gay characterization in Japan, the ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' comic depicts Nightscream as a crossdresser whom the male characters constantly mistake for female. Nightscream's odd nickname, "Bat Aunt Chama" (コウモリのおばちゃま ''Kōmori no Oba Chama''), is a reference to Japanese film critic Kazuko Komori (小森和子 ''Komori Kazuko''), whose nickname was Komori no Oba Chama (小森のおばちゃま).

{{suite}}
[[File:BWMegatronSticker.jpg|thumb|275px|A smile that launched a thousand schemes.]]
The '''[[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]''' from ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' has many toys, yeeess.

==Toys==
===''Beast Wars''===
[[File:BWtoy-MegatronBasic.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|It appears to be a harmless Earth creature!]]
*'''Optimus Primal VS Megatron!''' (Basic Class 2-pack, [[1996]]/[[1997]])
**''Takara ID number:'' '''VS-6'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun/tail

: The initial version of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Megatron transforms into a green crocodile. The toy is a [[retool]] of [[Iguanus (BW)#Toys|Iguanus]] with new crocodile and robot heads, and no frill. The screw hole for the frill bracket remains. Both toys were released at roughly the same time.

: This toy came in a two-pack with the [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Toys|bat-mode Optimus Primal]]. In [[Hasbro]] markets, this duo came with a [[Optimus Primal vs Megatron!|''Beast Wars'' mini-comic]]. The Japanese release of the two-pack, dubbed "Amazon Showdown: Convobat VS Megalligator" (アマゾンの対決, ''Amazon no taiketsu''), lacks the comic, but does come with individual character bio cards.

:Whether this toy can be considered the ''Beast Wars'' Megatron character as seen in the primary fiction is a matter of debate. Released before the beginning of the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]], which established Megatron as a separate entity from [[Megatron (G1)|Generation 1 Megatron]], the accompanying profiles and mini-comic imply the Beast Wars to be a direct progression of the Autobot/Decepticon war.

:This mold was additionally used to make the purple-recolored [[Megatron (G1)/toys#VSS1|Megalligator]] (indicated to be Generation 1 Megatron), released individually to be his own character [[Megalligator]] and was proposed for [[Albitron#Toys|Albitron]], which never reached fruition. The Iguanus version was used for [[Crazybolt (BW)#Toys|Crazybolt]].

*'''Megatron''' (Ultra Class, 1996)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''D-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Two missiles, water squirter

:This Megatron transforms into a purple, green, and yellow organic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. He has very limited articulation in [[beast mode]], located mostly in his legs and the shoulders of his beast mode arms. In addition, he has a [[Water-squirting gimmick|water squirter]] in his dinosaur mouth, which is activated when pulling back on the upper part of his head, opening his jaw, which in turn pulls back on the pump inside his tongue. His thigh-shells can also extend out from the body to fire spring-loaded, anchor-shaped projectiles.

:In [[robot mode]], he features two bat-like wing adornments on either side of his head that wrap around to become his [[mutant head]]. In addition to his water squirter (now located as his right) and his hip-mounted launchers, his left arm (made up of the dinosaur tail) contains a spring-loaded pincer gimmick that is activated by pushing and pulling on a black lever on his elbow. The water bladder for the squirting gimmick is contained inside a removable throat/tongue section, allowing for the user to fill it with water. The plug located on the top, covering the hole used to fill the bladder, and the pump inside the tongue are both highly susceptible to deteriorating due to the rubbery plastic used; crumbling to dust with age.

:The Takara release features no changes from the Hasbro version. This mold was also used to make the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]] [[T-Wrecks#Beast Machines|T-Wrecks]].

:In Japan, the Basic Class gator Megatron toy was also sold as an individual toy, as well as in a VS pack with Optimus.

: The individual release is identical to the two-pack version, which is in turn identical to the Hasbro version.

: Continuing the trend of its Hasbro counterpart, this toy was [[Trembling Beast Land|advertised]] as a [[Megalligator#Beast Wars|yet third character]] at the time of release. Oy.

*'''Megatron''' (Mega Class Transmetal, [[1998]])
**''Takara ID number:'' '''D-40'''
**''Accessories:'' Tail/whip

: The third ''Beast Wars'' Megatron toy transforms from a mechanical ''Tyrannosaurus'' to an organic robot mode. As with all Transmetal toys, he has a 'third' vehicle mode; roller skates fold out of his feet and his turbines flip open. These modifications can also be deployed in robot mode. In robot mode, his tail becomes a flexible, segmented cutlass weapon. He can either hold it or it can be stored at his side on the connector piece it was attached to when in beast mode.

:The Hasbro release of this figure was in gold, dark brown, and silver. The Hasbro release is known for being remarkably fragile — the deep brown plastic used for Megatron's waist and torso is prone to eventual breakage due to stress fractures. This has often been mistaken for a form of [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]], but is really more of a design flaw coupled with weak plastics. The Takara version, which used a different plastic, does not have this problem. The Hasbro version had three different variants all based on the shade used for the transmetal parts, some were pink, some purple and others a darker blue purple.

: The Japanese version, "Metals Megatron", is slightly different. The Japanese version uses black instead of the brown of the Hasbro version, a light gray for the beast mode hands, tail, and skates instead of the metallic silver of the Hasbro release, and the copper has a darker, more reddish tint as well.

:This mold was retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Predacon (Armada)#Armada|Predacon]].

*'''Megatron''' (Ultra Class Transmetal 2, 1999)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''D-47'''
**''Accessories:'' Three missiles

: The final version of ''Beast Wars'' Megatron transforms into a mostly mechanical dragon, with articulation in his legs, little dragon arms and his flexible, rubber neck with vacuum metallized overlapping plates attached on top. The neck is flexible and controlled via a small lever located at its base. This lever is installed backwards due to factory error—it can be used to lock the dragon neck in place, but must first be unscrewed and reattached correctly. The projectiles stored in his wings can be fired from a spring-loaded launcher inside his dragon's mouth. The tail is also flexible, and becomes a helmet for Megatron's already-helmeted head in robot mode.

:In robot mode, Megatron resembles a winged demon, appropriate given his characterization. His chest is dominated by a small cockpit with a control chair inside (see [[#Notes]]). Megatron's dragon neck and head replaces his left arm, with an additional missile launcher above his helmet. His [[spark crystal]], colored purple, is located on his dragon mode's right pectoral.

:Transmetal 2 Megatron has a half-hearted "transportation" mode, which involves deploying wheels from his heels, then folding his legs up parallel with his body, so that he can roll around on the ground. This is one purpose for the the aforementioned neck-locking mechanism, so the dragon can look straight ahead as it rolls. The original commercial for the toy [[:File:TM2 Ultras Commercial.jpg|mistransforms]] this mode, making it look like Megatron scoots around on his knees.

:Megatron's [[:File:TM2-Megatron-dragon-mode-360.gif|beast mode appearance in the cartoon]] left his robot/dragon legs fully extended, making the entire length of the upper leg the thigh, just like his robot mode. The photography to the right reflects this choice of transformation.

:The Takara "Metals Dragon Megatron" version features no differences to the Hasbro release. This mold was also used to make [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Cryotek (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2001)|Cryotek]].

*'''Megatron''' (Mega Class, 2000)

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' Mega Class toys, the first ''Beast Machines'' incarnation of Megatron was based on his Transmetal 2 dragon form, but with cues from his ''Beast Machines'' design added, specifically the gilded control helmet and the wrapping cape. A compartment on his chest can be lifted to reveal a [[spark]] chamber with a Vehicon spark crystal, similar to other Beast Machines toys. Other than a robot and dragon mode, a third mode, one that wraps and closes the dragon wings around the robot, mimics the shrouded appearance seen on the television show.

: The Beast Changer (so called due to [[Hasbro]]'s inability to secure the [[Trademark]] on "[[Noble (BM)|Savage Noble]]") transforms from wolf-creature to dragon-creature (the packaging announces a conversion from "savage beast to noble wolf," a reference to the name Hasbro wasn't able to trademark). A spring-loaded tab on the dragon's head opens his jaws. The toy's [[spark crystal]] has its own unique symbol, a merger of the ''Beast Machines'' Maximal and Vehicon logos. Its spark-action [[gimmick]] is a wind-up spinning claw attack.

A gear-wheel mechanism moves the legs up and down as the tank mode is pushed along. Pressing the [[spark crystal]] on the tank's top opens its jaw and fires a spring-loaded missile. In robot mode, this swings the entire cannon assembly up over the robot's head, along with a "battle mask".

: If one removes the toy's spider-legs in head mode, it fits into the head socket to the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Generation 1|Fortress Maximus]] main body. Though this is likely unintended, it is pointed out here as an extra play feature.

: This mold was also used to make [[Megabolt]].

**''Accessories'': Large missile, projectile, spring-loaded shield/multi-tool arm, claw attachment, hammer attachment, [[Golden Disk (disambiguation)|Golden Disk]] key

: Representing Megatron before his crash on [[Earth]], ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' Megatron is a [[retool]] and [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' Ultra Class [[Cybertron Defense Team (Cybertron)|Cybertron Defense]] [[Red Alert (Armada)#CDT|Red Alert]] toy, and transforms into a large, purple military vehicle similar to a cross between a Russian {{w|R-400 Oka|R-400 Oka mobile ballistic missile launcher}} and a {{w|BTR-90|BTR-90 armoured personnel carrier}}. The missile can be slid off from its holder, and the left side of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] has a flip-up non-firing double-blaster, which can also be "used" in robot mode. Inserting the Golden Disk key (that's marked with the [[Insignia|Predacon symbol]]) into the rear of the missile pops it in half and exposes the inner spring-loaded projectile-launching "laser cannon".

: Megatron comes with a shield that can be mounted on either arm, and when a Key is inserted into the top, a cannon barrel/multi-tool arm flips out that can be equipped with several tools stored in his shins (a spring-loaded hammer-head or a gripping claw). He has two (nonfunctional) [[Mini-Con]] [[Powerlinx]] hardpoints in vehicle mode, and two ''different'' hardpoints in robot mode. The electronics that were previously present in this mold were removed for this release, and all samples of this toy have the space for the robot-mode head manually (and sometimes messily) carved open wider at the top in order to allow the new head to move freely between modes.

: Megatron was an at-show souvenir for [[BotCon 2006]], coming in a two-pack with [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Timelines|Waspinator]]. Only 500 were released.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Countdown (G1)#Universe 2008|Countdown]].

:Released as a souvenir figure for [[BotCon 2016]], ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Megatron is a redeco/retool of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Ultra Class [[Megatron (RID)#Toys|Megatron/Galvatron]] mold, which was based on an unused concept by [[3H Productions]]. It features a new head and paint scheme based on [[#TM2|Transmetal 2 Megatron]] from the original ''Beast Wars'' cartoon. The snout piece which folds out from under the robot mode head for the original release's bat mode was removed in order to provide clearance for the new head, effectively reducing by one the number of modes to which this release is capable of converting. Despite this, the bat mode is still represented in the (microscopically tiny) instructions. His hand mode, and presumably those of the mold's other uses, can coincidentally hold the same year's [[Rubber Ducky#Merchandise|Rubber Ducky]] souvenir.

:The robot mode chest sports a [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]] [[spark crystal]] instead of a Predacon one, possibly because the Dinobot spark crystal is the only version of that tooling which remains. Additionally, the factory neglected to paint the dragon mode's eyes—while accidental, this is fitting since the last time Megatron had a red dragon body, as "Beast Changer" (see above), he was also eyeless in dragon mode. [[Fun Publications]] provided eye stickers and a spark crystal-sized Predacon symbol sticker on that year's [[Magnaboss (BW)#Generations|Magnaboss]] sticker sheet.

It transforms from robot to tank to plane reminiscent of his [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|''Machine Wars'' counterpart]] and back. Megatron comes with a Headmaster module that becomes his head. He also comes with [[Noble (BM)#Legends|Noble]], who is redecoed from [[Fangry (G1)#Generations|Fangry]]'s drone accessory.

:Like all Voyager Class ''Titans Return'' molds, he has a pair of pop-up parts to fill in the area around his head; in this case, a pair of missile racks. This version of the mold retains the retooling that includes a pivoting assembly for better range of movement. Due to the nature of his transformation, it is possible to transform Megatron into tank mode without removing his head.

:His fusion cannon can plug into the short barrel of the tank turret or the rifle/Headmaster vehicle weapon. In an undocumented additional feature, the rifle can be inserted into the front end of the fusion cannon. The fusion cannon can be mounted on his forearm or held by any figure with 5mm hands. It also has a peg hole that an accessory such as his rifle can plug into, with extra square peg holes specifically to hold the rifle in place.

*'''Megatron (Beast Wars)''' ([[March 30]], [[2019]])
**''ID number'': '''MP-43'''
**''Accessories'': Laser effect part, smiling face, grimacing face, rifle, toothbrush, dinosaur tail/weapon, 2 dinosaur thighs/hip armor pieces, 2 shoulderpads, dinosaur belly/backplate, base adapter (beast mode) base adapter (robot mode), base adapter (robot back)

:Depicting his original pre-Transmetal organic body, ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Megatron transforms from a show accurate robot to a show accurate ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', with the latter in particular being far more detailed and show-accurate than any previous toy of the character in beast mode. He comes with extra faceplates: alongside his regular, serious face, he can also have a tooth-clenched grimacing face or a smiling face. His ''T. rex'' head features articulated eyes with show-accurate yellow irises and pupils that can be hidden by rolling them into his skull to give him fully red "inactive" eyes as his robot mode hand/arm cannon, reminiscent of the original toy. He also comes with a laser effect part that plugs into the ''T. rex'' mouth, a [[hunting rifle]] (as seen in "[[Call of the Wild]]"), and a toothbrush to recreate the scene in "[[Before the Storm]]" where he is seen brushing his ''T. rex'' head/right hand's teeth. To further recreate the scene, all his dinosaur mode [[kibble]] can be stripped off to complete Megatron's not-fighting look. Finally, he comes with stand adapter pieces to assist with multiple action poses, compatible with the stand that comes with ''Masterpiece'' [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]]: it can be configured for Megatron's robot and dinosaur modes, and can also recreate the scene in "Call of the Wild" where [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] lifts him overhead each using a unique adapter. Both of Megatron's modes feature ''insane'' poseability, and the figure is kept stable via die-cast parts in the feet; despite this, the hip swivel joint in robot mode is quite loose and it's quite easy to knock him around. Additionally, he is the largest ''Beast Wars Masterpiece'' figure.

:Megatron comes with a voice gimmick with newly recorded lines by [[Shigeru Chiba]], activated by pressing the ''T. rex'' forehead. He features three sets of sound clips: one for beast mode, one for robot mode, and one consisting of laser blast sounds, which can be cycled through by holding down the ''T. rex'' forehead button. Some of the clips feature guest appearances by [[Predacon computer#Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|NAVI-ko]], [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], and even a snippet of "[[War War! Stop It]]".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikp7kRH30lI Video showcasing] the hidden voice clips.</ref>

:With a MSRP of 35,000 yen (approximately 315 USD), this figure had the highest initial price of any mass retail Hasbro or Takara ''Transformers'' toy (as opposed to convention exclusives, contest prizes, statues, etc.) until [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#35th|MP-44 Convoy]]. Originally scheduled for release on January 26, 2019, Megatron was delayed to March 30. The toy was exported to Asian and English-speaking markets by Hasbro, with an additional slipcover over the box and a small battery installation/safety sheet in English.

:For a toy this expensive, that transforms largely by stacking piles of folded-up beast bits on top of each other, owners should take significant care in watching out for stress marks in the plastic, especially the crotch section. The Japanese instructions take the unusual step of warning buyers of the best ways to handle the shoulder and waist movements to avoid breakage. Furthermore, said beast bits aren't guaranteed to hold tight together in beast mode, and must be aligned ''perfectly'' to avoid gaps; some of this can be remedied by removing Megatron's right shoulder pad, which would otherwise be completely hidden in beast mode and frees up more space for the skin panels to lock together. There have also been reports of loose waist joints.

:In Hasbro Asia markets, Megatron would have come with a [[collector coin]] mounted in a card modeled after his distinctive chest design. The coin appears to have been canceled, presumably due to the fact that, like [[Shadow Panther#Masterpiece|Shadow Panther]], both the coin and the fold-out interior of the card it's mounted on depict the Maximal sigil rather than the Predacon one.<ref name="cardcoin">[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/the-masterpiece-cards-coins-thread.819496/page-33#post-16806712 TFW2005.com - The Masterpiece Cards & Coins Thread]</ref> The existence of this coin was discovered when some of them found their way onto the secondary market.

:Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' "Megatron (Beast)" (named as such to distinguish this Megatron from his namesake) is a Leader Class-sized toy that transforms from a robot accurate to his appearance in the first season of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon into a "realistic" ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' seemingly inspired by the ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' school of design. Though Megatron does not come with any [[Fire Blast effect|fire blast effects]], those from other toys can be attached inside his dinosaur mode mouth. While he features a left hand underneath the tail weapon in robot mode, the tail weapon cannot be detached from his forearm.

:Most of the beast mode shell is cast in a rubbery PVC [[plastic]] material, likely to enhance the texture of the dinosaur mode as well as assist the part-clashing transformation. The beast mode itself is well articulated, especially with thigh pieces on a slider to ensure vertical hip movement, as well as spring-loaded pieces around his neck to prevent the sculpt from breaking up too much while posing. The downside to the softer plastic is that it's a great deal more succeptable to being warped out of shape if left deformed for prolongued periods. The sides of his tail that fold up for robot mode are the most common example of warping due to being forced out of shape while folded up.

:Stock photos of his robot mode are mistransformed: the bottom of his tail is not flipped out, while the back kibble and thigh armor are not rotated correctly (though the latter does allow for improved hip movement). The TakaraTomy stock photos also show the figure with different colors, similar to what happened with the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Allicon#Toys|Allicon]]: all the robot mode purple bits are cast in a deep burgundy plastic, while the robot face is red. Newer pics were shown a few days later, showing the correct color scheme. Official Hasbro stock photography also depicts the red face.

:Megatron comes with a random Golden Disk card that "[[Source:Golden Disk destinies|reveals a possible destiny of a key character]]", with each character having three possible destiny variants.

:In January 2021, a variant of the figure was discovered featuring a different face sculpt with the same grimace as the original toy.<ref>[https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/kingdom-megatron-head-variant.1207388/ "Kingdom Megatron head variant?"] at TFW2005</ref>

===''Vintage Beast Wars''===
*'''Megatron''' (Reissue, [[2021]])
**''Accessories'': Two missiles, water squirter
:In celebration of the 25th anniversary of ''Beast Wars'', the original 1996 Ultra Class Megatron was reissued under the ''[[Vintage Beast Wars]]'' lineup. Megatron features all the same accessories and functionality as the original toy but differs slightly in deco, having a more saturated purple shade, and the silver paint on his robot head has been swapped to a gloss black. The claw arm spring is also a bit too strong, so the trigger tends to skip across the gear teeth instead of actually triggering the claw properly. The gear skip can mostly be fixed by tightening the three screws in the forearm, which aren't screwed in entirely when fresh out of the box.

:The second set of Hasbro stock photography, which is the one used on the [[cross-sell]], has a silver-painted helmet, akin to the original toy.

:Much like ''[[Vintage G1]]'', Megatron is packaged in a box styled after the original ''Beast Wars'' toy packaging, [[package art]] and all. Also similar to ''Vintage G1'', the time disparity since the original release has the toy reasonably set at over double the price of the toy's 1996 release, $52.99 USD versus $20, and is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. Due to accommodating multiple languages, the bio card is also rather drastically changed, including using a silhouette of 2007 ''[[Movie (franchise)|Transformers]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] head for the intelligence. The cross-sell for [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#Vintage Beast Wars|Cheetor]] and [[Rattrap (BW)/toys#Vintage Beast Wars|Rattrap]] label them both inaccurately as Mega Class figures, instead of Deluxe Class and Basic Class, respectively (though both ''are'' priced the same).

[[File:BWRConcept35.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Transmetal 2 Megatron's control art. Look! Spark figure! Painful amounts of detail!]]

[[File:OTFCC05-Megatronunused.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Everyone wished this happened. And it has!]]
* Early in ''Beast Wars'' development, Hasbro conceived sea turtle toys of Megatron (using a mold concept similar to [[Snapper#Toys|Snapper]]) to go with "[[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Notes|Optimus Prime]]" as a [[Manta Ray (BW)#Toys|manta]]. While the turtle Megatron toy never happened, a parallel dragonfly toy of Megatron ultimately became the [[McDonald's]] toy [[Beetle#Toys|Beetle]]. Had IDW's ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]'' not solidified Beetle as a separate individual, the toy could possibly have gone on this page.
* Primal's gorilla mode paired against [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' mode was inspired by the showdown in ''{{w|King Kong}}''.
* The concept art for the original Ultra class figure is largely the same, except the left arm houses an open three clawed hand. This idea would be revisited for ''10th Anniversary'' Megatron.
* Hasbro originally intended Inferno to be the new body for Megatron. According to [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/b334d45514e26ab4/bc8e54e9165e0823?hl=en&lnk=st&q=bob+forward+interview+inferno+megatron&rnum=1#bc8e54e9165e0823 a 1997 interview conducted by fan HooksX], Bob Forward stated: "For a while there Hasbro was planning to make the Inferno toy the new Megatron. We were going to kill Megatron and bring him back as Inferno."
* Originally, Transmetal 2 Megatron, along with [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimal Optimus]] and [[Tigerhawk]], was to have a small driver-like figure sitting on control chair located in the cockpit on his body. These drivers were meant to represent their sparks. [[Hasbro]] later realized that kids could confuse these spark representations as pilots controlling the robots, so they were abandoned, but the cockpits remain. The spark pilot was eventually used in the Japanese release of [[Cryotek (RID)|Cryotek]].
* A retool of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Megatron (RID)#Toys|Megatron]] as a post-''Beast Machines'' Megatron was proposed by [[3H Productions|3H]] for OTFCC 2005, but this idea went unused when 3H forfeited the license to [[Fun Publications]]. It would have had a [[Rubber Ducky]] accessory. Fun Publications revived the concept as a pre-''Beast Wars'' Megatron for [[BotCon 2016]] (except [[Rubber Ducky#Generations|the duck]] was human-sized—or sized to Megatron's hand mode—and sold separately).
* Per Hasbro's modern practice of "pretooling" heads for possible figures, ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#FOC|Generations: Fall of Cybertron]]'' Voyager Class [[Grimlock (WFC)#Toys|Grimlock]] was designed with an alternate head as Transmetal Megatron. A prototype sporting the alternate head sculpt surfaced in early 2013.<ref name="genbwmegs1">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/generations-beast-wars-megatron-fall-of-cybertron-grimlock-remold-176869/ "Generations Beast Wars Megatron - Fall of Cybertron Grimlock Remold"] at TFW2005</ref><ref name="genbwmegs2">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generations-classics-44/generations-30th-anniversary-beast-wars-megatron-new-images-177248/ "Generations 30th Anniversary Beast Wars Megatron New Images"] at TFW2005</ref>

:''Nightscream is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Nightscreambm.jpg|upright=2.25|thumb|I'd hit that...with a [[brick (term)|brick]].]]
When armies of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]] conquered [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], young '''Nightscream''' survived alone in the darkness below the surface of the planet. This trauma influences much of his behavior. He's always on the defensive. Paranoid. Rude. Distrusting. Confrontational. But really, he's just a troubled kid, and he's been through a lot. Inside, he's got a good heart. He's just got to learn to stop fighting friends and enemies alike.

Regardless, he seems to have found a kindred spirit in the wild [[Noble (BM)|Noble]] creature.

==Fiction==

{{voiceactor|[[Alessandro Juliani]] (English), [[Nobutoshi Canna]] (Japanese)|[[Liu Li]] (Chinese), [[Oberdan Junior]] (Portuguese), [[Julien Haggége]] (German), [[Enrique Mederos]] (Latin American Spanish), [[Peppino Capotondi]] (French)}}

[[File:ForbiddenFruit prebeast Nightscream.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|I'm with the Vehicons here.]]
When the Vehicons and their virus struck, Nightscream ran and panicked like many Maximals. Fleeing underground, he fell down a hole during the attack, and everything went dark. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}} Though he would not recall the details later, somehow he wandered into a [[fossil chamber|cave]] containing the fossils of a prehistoric bat-like creature. His internal [[DNA scanner]]s used them to reformat him into an organic beast form and save him, at least temporarily, from the virus. {{storylink|Survivor}} Nightscream's mental state at this point is unknown, but he seems to have spent the next period trapped in his bat form, hiding and feeding off a strange fruit tree he found growing below the planet's surface. Eventually, [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] and company arrived and, distrustful, he began to spy on their activities, hoping to work out how to transform.

[[File:ForbiddenFruit titlescreen.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Cue Zelda "item get" music.]]

Nightscream fled when they spotted him, flying through the tunnels until they managed to corner him. When [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]] turned up, Nightscream accused them of leading the Vehicons to him, but after they began fighting the [[Aero Drone|aero drones]], he realised his mistake and used a sonic cry to disorientate the Vehicons. He subsequently lead the other Maximals to his tree. [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] suspected a trap on the part of [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], more so when the other Maximals ate the fruit and reverted to their beast instincts, but Nightscream objected loudly to the accusation. They were shortly found by Jetstorm again, forcing Cheetor to destroy the fruit tree to restore his friends, but to Nightscream's anguish. The young Maximal was injured by the Vehicons during the battle, and Primal reformatted him into a [[technorganic]] bat. Reveling in his new form, Nightscream used a [[Sonic Scream]] to destroy the aero drones and drained energon from Jetstorm. Afterward, he accepted Cheetor's invitation to join the Maximal team. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}}

With Primal weakened by the reformatting, Cheetor, Nightscream and [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] went on a mission to gather information from a Vehicon factory. Nightscream discovered that disabling the [[Vehicon general]]s disabled all of the drones they controlled. However, the plan they developed was inadvertently ruined by Rattrap, who'd thought that Nightscream was in trouble. Annoyed at Rattrap's foul-ups, Nightscream suggested they get rid of him, but Cheetor angrily turned down the idea, saying that they should cover for their friend. Unknown to them, the discussion led Rattrap to join Megatron, albeit temporarily, and the Maximals later found themselves confronting their comrade. It was only when Primal interceded that Rattrap rejoined them. {{storylink|The Weak Component}}

[[File:Revelations3 Nightscream.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.2|Why, this car could go like... ''Greased Lightning!'']]
After another encounter with [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]], Nightscream became dissatisfied with Primal's ability to lead and suggested Cheetor take command, though his suggestion was rebuffed. They later discovered a factory of corpses with evidence of [[spark]] removal. The factory was destroyed in another battle, and Nightscream was saddened at the loss, though Rattrap pointed out they could build new bodies when they found the sparks. {{storylink|Revelations Part I: Discovery|Discovery}} With Cheetor in command, the Maximals set about trying to access [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]]'s memories so they could find out what happened. Nightscream and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] were assigned to keep Thrust and Jetstorm busy, but Blackarachnia's belief that Thrust housed the spark of her lover, [[Silverbolt (Fuzor)|Silverbolt]], resulted in her being overpowered by the two generals. Nightscream attempted to help, but was unable to stop Thrust extracting Blackarachnia's spark. {{storylink|Revelations Part II: Descent|Descent}} Nightscream pursued the two generals, retrieving Blackarachnia's spark from Jetstorm before dropping an elevator on the Vehicon. After then defeating Thrust, he was able to restore the spark to Blackarachnia's body, and the pair joined Cheetor and Rattrap, who had discovered that Tankor was their old friend [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]]. Rhinox, unfortunately, was siding with Megatron's view of a technological Cybertron, and Primal insisted they let him go. {{storylink|Revelations Part III: Apocalypse|Apocalypse}}

[[File:Survivor Nightscream sonic.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Rattrap's attempts at accessing Nightscream's memories turned up the fact that he had a built-in DNA scanner, providing a vital clue. He clashed with the other Maximals over their losing of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], however, and was reminded that they'd lost friends during that war. The Maximals headed for the cave which had housed Nightscream's fruit tree, only to find it had been sealed off. As Nightscream tried to use his Sonic Scream to break through, they were attacked by Vehicons, and Nightscream was abducted. The [[Diagnostic Drone]] attempted to analyse Nightscream's physiology, but the young Maximal was able to escape, pursued through the underground corridors by the Vehicons. With the help of the other Maximals, he eluded his captors, eventually ending up in a cave full of fossils. The realisation that, had he not been caught up in himself, he could have saved other [[Transformer]]s, caused Nightscream great anguish. Optimus commiserated with him, and the Maximals took up residence in the cave. {{storylink|Survivor}}

[[File:TheKey Nightscream holding skull.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.5|Alas, poor whoever he was.]]
After Tankor found the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] and confronted the Maximals, Nightscream threw himself between the Vehicon and Optimus, taking a blast from the key and being turned into [[Living metal#Beast Era|technomatter]]. Losing his sanity, Nightscream passed the technomatter sickness on to Blackarachnia before the other Maximals were able to use the [[organic goop]] they'd discovered to cure them both. {{storylink|The Key}} Nightscream, Optimus and Cheetor rescued Rattrap from some overgrowing vines after Rattrap discovered a catalyst to improve the goo. Though Optimus forbade them from using the catalyst in combat, the other three used it to rescue Blackarachnia from the Vehicons, which almost spelled doom for the Maximal orchard. {{storylink|The Catalyst}}

After Primal discovered the location of the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], the other Maximals persuaded him to try it their way first, and, while Rattrap attempted to tap into Megatron's computer, the other Maximals fought against the Vehicons. Unfortunately, they were overpowered and converted into technomatter by the Vehicon drones. {{storylink|End of the Line}} The clashing energies of the Key and the Plasma Energy Chamber cancelled each other out, restoring the four Maximals, who discovered that Optimus, Megatron and Tankor had all perished during the final battle. Finding no answers above ground, they traveled down to see the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], and, finding Primal floating within, persuaded him to choose life and rejoin them. {{storylink|Fallout (episode)|Fallout}}

[[File:SavageNoble Nightscream narrowed eyes.jpg|upright=1.45|thumb|"I have...no fans?"]]
On discovering a [[Grand Mal|giant floating head]] with the likeness of Megatron, Blackarachnia and Nightscream attempted to infiltrate it, only to be repelled by its defences. The Maximals soon encountered a dragon-like beast dubbed Savage by the Vehicons, and shortly after, a wolf Maximal named [[Noble (BM)|Noble]], whom Nightscream regarded as a kindred spirit and quickly befriended. When Noble went missing, Nightscream worried that Savage had killed their new friend. However, once they cornered Savage, Nightscream was able to talk to the beast, and it transpired that Savage and Noble were one and the same, a completely organic Transformer. {{storylink|Savage Noble}} Nightscream valued his new friendship, even rebuking the other Maximals over their treatment of Noble. When the other Maximals infiltrated the [[Council Citadel]], Noble dashed in after them, and Nightscream followed. During their attempt to access Megatron's computer, Noble ripped Rattrap from the [[control harness]] and attempted to use it himself. Failing, he used a [[spark extractor]] to rip his own spark out and took over the giant flying head. In reality, Noble had been Megatron, trapped in his own organic half, and had taken advantage of Nightscream's compassion. Nightscream was shattered by the betrayal. {{storylink|Prometheus Unbound}}

[[File:InDarkestKnight Nightscream and Noble.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]
Noble himself lived on, though sparkless and lacking in intelligence. Nightscream didn't give up on his friend, and he searched [[Cybertropolis]] at length. During a battle with Vehicons, Nightscream was knocked out by Thrust but rescued by Savage, who dragged him off. Nightscream recovered to find himself in Noble's lair, being offered metallic fruit. An ill-advised rescue attempt on Rattrap's part caused Noble to revert to Savage and chase the pair. They were able to divert his attention to Thrust, and Nightscream insisted that they should try to help Noble, but Primal said he would come to them when he was ready. {{storylink|In Darkest Knight}}

Megatron's re-engineered [[Hate Plague]] virus infected all of the Maximals, causing them to fight amongst themselves until Optimus was able to help them overcome it. Despite this, Nightscream blamed Silverbolt for the virus's spread. {{storylink|A Wolf in the Fold}} After a spaceship crashed, the Maximals headed for the site. Nightscream and Silverbolt took the option of going by air, though Nightscream made it obvious he wasn't enthusiastic about being partnered with the new Maximal. After encountering a strange plant creature, the Maximals were surprised to discover it was a Maximal named [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]]. Once again, they found themselves fighting [[Tank Drone|tank drones]], and at one point Silverbolt saved Nightscream's life, finally turning the young Maximal's opinion of him. {{storylink|Home Soil}}

Nightscream's attempts to persuade Silverbolt to be nicer to Blackarachnia were interrupted when the pair encountered two new Vehicon generals, [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] and [[Strika (BM)|Strika]]. The other Maximals joined the fight, but were outclassed and trapped by the new generals until Botanica rescued them. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. I: The Strike|The Strike}} In search of the missing sparks, Optimus and Nightscream ventured underground, finding the ancient city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. While Primal was conferring with a hologram of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Nightscream found himself being overwhelmed by [[Cycle Drone]]s and was only rescued by the arrival of Savage. Later, Optimus revealed that he'd discovered the location of the missing sparks. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search|The Search}}

[[File:Sparkwar3 Nightscream and dead Noble.jpg|upright=1.34|thumb|"Hey! Primal didn't send him to a farm at ''all!''"]]
Nightscream, Cheetor and Silverbolt fought the Vehicons while the others infiltrated the giant floating head. However, they were too late to prevent Megatron's attempt at ascension, fueled by the captured sparks. As Megatron attempted to remove Nightscream's spark, Savage came to their aid and attempted to attack Megatron, only to be blasted by the evil spark. Savage fell to the ground and reverted to Noble, who died in Nightscream's arms. Enraged, Nightscream used his Sonic Scream to blast Megatron, apparently destroying the evil spark. The Maximals later held a funeral service for Noble. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. III: The Siege|The Siege}} Though the Maximals celebrated Megatron's demise, their enemy lived on as a disembodied spark. Megatron was unable to maintain the use of a single body for long, and Nightscream and Cheetor tangled with him in the body of a deceased aero drone. Megatron eventually became stuck in the form of a Diagnostic Drone. {{storylink|Spark of Darkness}}

[[File:Endgame1 Nightscream sonic attack.jpg|left|upright=1.34|thumb|'''****YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!''']]
With the Maximals besieged on the giant head, Nightscream, Silverbolt and Blackarachnia attempted to keep the Vehicons busy. They were able to find a Vehicon factory, where Nightscream tricked Megatron and managed to blow up the facility. Though the trio was able to catch Botanica's pod when Rattrap ejected her from the head, they were unable to do anything when the Vehicons brought the giant head itself crashing to the ground. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. I: The Downward Spiral|The Downward Spiral}} As the Maximals prepared for the Vehicon assault, Optimus consulted the Oracle, and they were bestowed with extra spark power. During the battle, Botanica became aware that the Vehicons were attacking the [[technorganic orchard]], and she went to save it with Rattrap and Nightscream. Nightscream attempted to defend the fossil chamber, but was overwhelmed and, like the other Maximals, had his spark ripped out. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall|When Legends Fall}} Though unable to help physically, the Maximals offered Primal moral support during his one-on-one battle with Megatron. After the [[Great Transformation|reformatting of Cybertron]], Nightscream's spark was restored to his body, and he and the other Maximals found themselves in a technorganic paradise. {{storylink|Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future|Seeds of the Future}}

[[File:NightscreamMol.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|This looks way more phallic than it needs to.]]
During Megatron's rule over Vehicon-held Cybertron, Nightscream and Optimus Primal were able to recover a trio of [[Deployer (BM)|Deployers]] from a remote location far outside of [[Cybertropolis]]. With [[Tank Drone]]s hot on their trail, the intervention of [[Primal Prime]] and the [[Wrecker]]s were eventually required to save them. The Wreckers introduced themselves, and Optimus Primal, Nightscream, and the Deployers accompanied the Wreckers to the Oracle, where other groups had assembled before it to be given instruction. However, at the end of this meeting, the memories of Nightscream and Primal were wiped, their bodies were taken back to the surface, and the Deployers were stolen away by [[Packrat]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

A week after the [[Great Transformation]], the [[Quintesson]]s invaded [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. However, [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]] felt that the true threat was below ground, and she took Nightscream and Rattrap into the subterranean chambers. Here they stumbled upon [[Al-Badur]], a rogue Quintesson, who convinced them he was aiding the Wreckers, and thus on their side, by disabling 30% of the Quintesson invading forces up on the surface.

Shortly thereafter, they met up with the Wreckers proper. As Rattrap spent forever catching up with Tigatron, Nightscream reminded them that they should probably pay more attention to [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]], who was in the planet's core attempting to use the [[Divine Light]] to usurp the power of [[Primus]] and become a [[god]]. Under Al-Badur's direction, the large group eventually made their way to a [[Quintesson execution chamber]] that the Quintesson hoped would help them banish Cryotek to another dimension... if they could lure the Predacon there.

But when Cryotek arrived, he had already grown monstrous due to the Divine Light's effects. Nightscream and some of the others attacked the former gangster, but when Nightscream tried to use his fang attack on him, Cryotek was able to grab the line that connected Nightscream to the projectile fangs and slam Nightscream into [[Rotorbolt (Universe)|Rotorbolt]]. Al-Badur was able to trap Cryotek in a containment bubble that would imminently vanish their nemesis, but the Wreckers leader [[Sentinel Maximus]] was caught inside it with him. Nightscream and the others tried to destroy the bubble, but the young Maximal's Sonic Scream had no effect. Only the combined efforts of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] were able to thwart it, though the strain killed Rodimus. Nightscream was stunned into near silence, as he'd only read things about Rodimus' younger days, and the sacrifice awed him. But Rodimus's sacrifice was negated by Sentinel Maximus's, who had pushed himself and Cryotek through the portal in the bubble into the void beyond.

When the media arrived, Nightscream was eager to hog the spotlight, but [[Rook (Universe)|Rook]] ignored him. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

====''Transformers Legends'' anthology====
While attacking the Maximals in a trashed Jet drone, Megatron noted that he hated Nightscream for interrupting his ascension. Nightscream attempted to use his taser fangs on Megatron, who used the connection to shock the Maximal, whilst wondering whether any of Nightscream's verbal outbursts ever made any sense. {{storylink|Singularity Ablyss}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:Nightscreamtranstechbat.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|If he says "music to my ears", we will end him.]]
In [[Primax 209.0 Gamma|one universe]], the Autobots and Decepticons had grown too decrepit to continue waging the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Constructing the Maximals and Predacons as new armies to continue the conflict, an entire generation of Cybertronians was brought up knowing nothing but war. Nightscream was a member of [[Blackarachnia (BW)#Beast Wars: Uprising|Blackarachnia]]'s squad, and after the death of Rhinox and Silverbolt conspired with her to kill their commander, Optimus Primal. After Primal's demise, he fled with her and activated an experimental [[Unspace|transwarp]] device, seeking to flee Cybertron. The device transported them to [[Axiom Nexus]], where they were discovered by the native [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s, processed, and assigned to [[Alpha Trion (SG)|Alpha Trion]]. Taking advantage of Nightscream's discontent, Trion was able to sway him to his cause and procured [[Nightscream (TransTech)|a suitable body]] to transfer his spark to. His new body proving to be a significant upgrade, Nightscream was all too happy to join the rebellion. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 25|"TransTech" Blackarachnia's profile in Club magazine #25}}

After returning to Alpha Trion's lab, Nightscream claimed to have discovered where [[Megatron (TransTech)|Megatron]] and his cronies had taken [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]. With this information, Alpha Trion announced an attack on the location that very night. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 4}} At the transit facility, Nightscream went with Blackarachnia and [[Scavenger (BW)|Scavenger]] to secure their escape route while Alpha Trion helped [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]] and [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]] rescue their friend. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 5}} He manned the transwarp controls as the others lept through the portal, leaving him the only witness to Alpha Trion's brutal murder of Skyfall. At Alpha Trion's command, he carried the corpse through the portal with them. {{storylink|Transcendent: Part 6}}

Upon arrival in Alpha Trion's home universe, Nightscream began securing equipment from Alpha Trion's old lab for travel, as their materialization had surely been detected by one faction or another. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 1}}

Weeks later, after the assassination of [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]], Nightscream and [[Sky Lynx (SG)|Sky Lynx]] followed Alpha Trion to confront Optimus Prime, intent on his assassination as well. Unfortunately, the three had not counted on Prime's new warrior, [[Omega Doom]], and Sky Lynx and Nightscream stared dumbfounded after one blast left their leader a distant smear on the ground. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 5}} Nightscream was gunned down by Optimus Prime's ion blaster, and apparently left for dead. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

===Legends World===
Along with [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], the [[Legends World]]'s Nightscream (nicknamed "Bat Aunt Chama") was hired by the [[Axalon Trading Company]] to work as an office lady (complete with skirt and hair bow). Rattrap became enamored with how cute both the office ladies were, only to be shocked when Rhinox informed him that the Axalon Trading Company had no women on the payroll. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 4#The Gender Gap|The Gender Gap}} Hoping to get to the bottom of the whole "male or female" thing, Rattrap and Rhinox decided to follow Airazor and Nightscream to see which bathroom they use. They were further confused when they found that their building had no female bathrooms at all. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 9#The Bathroom Gap|The Bathroom Gap}}

During [[Christmas]], Nightscream spent the holiday watching ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' with [[Noble (BM)|Savage]]. {{storylink|Merry X'mas!!}}

Following the destruction of their office building, Nightscream and the other employees began using [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] as their new office. {{storylink|LG14 Ultra Magnus Prologue#The Mysterious Knowledgeable Grandpa Chapter|The Mysterious Knowledgeable Grandpa Chapter}} Nightscream also worked at a "little brother cafe" and was there when the manager, [[Starscream (BW)|Starscream]], explained to another worker, who was [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|another Starscream]], just what kind of cafe it was. {{storylink|LG-18 Armada Starscream Super Mode Prologue}}

Nightscream also had a side job as a movie director, his latest work being ''[[Transformers: Convobat Amazon Showdown]]'' in which he himself starred as [[Convobat]]. He hired most of his coworkers as well as employees of [[Tera-Kura Co.]] to play other roles, but was greatly upset that they were more interested in ad-libbing funny lines than actually following the script.

==Toys==
===''Beast Machines''===
[[File:BM Nightscream toy.jpg|thumb|right|upright=2.0|"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-3Hmh1vvdA Nightscream likes extra ketchup.]"]]
*'''Nightscream''' (Ultra Class, [[2000]])
**''Accessories'': 5 launching disks

: This massively out of scale Nightscream (although one could make the case that it is in scale with the later supreme-size Optimus Primal and Cheetor) is fairly show-accurate. The [[beast mode]] is a [[technorganic]] bat. It is molded almost entirely in transparent blue plastic, with some brown paint details to match his show model. The bat head features an articulated jaw, and his [[Spark crystal]] is located on the inside of his chest flap.

:The two main gimmicks of this figure are its disc launcher and "kick-attack" mode. The disc launcher is very similar to the kind ''Beast Wars'' Depth Charge uses, and fires translucent orange discs. The launcher itself has a red LED in it that will illuminate the discs and the surrounding body parts. In [[robot mode]], the disc launcher can only be used when the "chest door" is opened and it is swung forward (as it faces down in this mode). In beast mode, the disc launcher needs to be popped up, which activates the LED and clears the weapon to launch the discs. When in this position, turning the disc launcher also makes the bat head turn in the same direction as they are linked together via a simple gear system, much like the concurrently released Ultra [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]].

:The "kick-attack" mode is really more of a pose for the beast mode. Nightscream's wings actually have little folding-out "feet" on its longest points. These can support the beast mode and by putting the bat feet a little forward, you can make Nightscream kick forward by pushing on his back. This never really worked too well, as the figure usually fell over and the arm joints that allow him to swing were always too stiff. Perhaps one aspect that was pulled off well was Nightscream's little streak of hair included in the head sculpt.

:The translucent blue plastic used for this mold did not age well, and is very brittle. Intact toys are hard to find, not that anyone is actively seeking one.

*'''Nightscream''' (Happy Meal toy, 2000)

: Greatly simplified for the tykes, Nightscream's fast-food exclusive toy is nonetheless a fairly accurate representation of his cartoon model, albeit with somewhat warped proportions in his beast mode, and supplementary kibble in robot mode. His color scheme has been simplified to be represented with a yellowish-cream color and brown as the more dominant colored plastics, with some opaque blue plastic and translucent blue plastic for the beast mode's head and back, and his robot mode legs/beast mode wings respectively.

===Red Rooster===
*'''Nightscream''' (Little Red Rooster Meal, 2001)

: Strangely, when the McDonald's Happy Meal toys were released in Australia through the Red Rooster restaurant chain the little plastic baggy they came in advertised that it contained Nightscream, Jetstorm, Rattrap or Tankor—even though they used the toy mold for Megatron and not Nightscream. Like the other three toys, it came in four color schemes. He was also retooled to remove the light piping on the original.

*'''Nightscream''' ([[March 26]], [[2005]])
**''ID number:'' '''BR-09'''
**''Accessories'': 5 launching disks

:Released in the second wave of the [[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|''Beast Wars Returns'' line]], Nightscream is a redeco of the ''Beast Machines'' toy, with lighter colors, more chest paint, and different leg paint apps. The toy retains all gimmickry from the previous version, as well as the brittle translucent plastic issue. This figure was available only at Japanese Toys"R"Us stores.

:Released as an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' Convobat is a redeco of the ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Deluxe Class [[Mindwipe (G1)#Generations|Mindwipe]] body, using a Headmaster redecoed from [[Infinitus#Toys|Infinitus]]. Convobat's modules are also compatible with any Deluxe-or-larger ''Titans Return''-style toy. Convobat also comes with a pair of swords originally from ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime]]'' Deluxe Class [[Wheeljack (Prime)#Deluxe|Wheeljack]], a [[Megalligator#Toys|Megalligator]] Headmaster redecoed from [[Nucleon (TR)#Toys|Nucleon]], and [[Ape X Arms]], redecoed from Titan Master [[Apeface#Generations|Apeface]]'s accessory, in [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#OptimalOptimus|Optimal Optimus]]'s colors. It does not come with either of the accessories included with Mindwipe, though his shield would eventually see release with [[Magna Convoy#Toys|Magna Convoy]].

:This mold was also used to make [[Dracula#Collaborative|Draculus]].

==Notes==
*Story editor Bob Skir originally wanted the character of Nightscream to be a young female Transformer, patterned after the girl "Newt" from the movie ''{{w|Aliens (film)|Aliens}}''. When the Powers That Be nixed that, Nightscream ended up becoming {{w|John Connor}} in ''{{w|Terminator 2: Judgment Day}}'' instead.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071202095033/http://bigbot.com/beast-machines-transformers-bob-skir/Beast-Machines-FAQ/Fri_03_Dec_1999.html Bob Skir Q&A 3 December 1999] (archive copy)</ref> In hindsight, maybe that wasn't the best idea.
*In the Japanese dub of ''Beast Machines'', most of the characters underwent major changes for a more comedic bent. Nightscream in particular was turned into an extremely stereotypical gay man. Like all characters in the dub, he has his own vocal tic: A habit of chanting and repeating "Fū!", which was the catchphrase of Japanese comedian {{w|Masaki Sumitani}} when performing his "Hard Gay" persona (which was popular in the early '00s). Japanese Nightscream was obsessed with fashion and style, making various comments like an effeminate, preening fashionista. His pet name for Rattrap was "Aunty". In the course of the series, Silverbolt spent more time with Nightscream than he did Blackarachnia, as they were both flyers, which incited angry commentary from the jealous fembot (who derisively referred to them as the "homo-tachi" or "gay boys"). Silverbolt constantly denied her accusations, insisting ''he'' wasn't gay. Stay classy, Japan.
**As an extension of his gay characterization in Japan, the ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' comic depicts Nightscream as a crossdresser whom the male characters constantly mistake for female. Nightscream's odd nickname, "Bat Aunt Chama" (コウモリのおばちゃま ''Kōmori no Oba Chama''), is a reference to Japanese film critic Kazuko Komori (小森和子 ''Komori Kazuko''), whose nickname was Komori no Oba Chama (小森のおばちゃま).

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
The Female Autobots were destroyed by a missile strike during the [[Ark (G1)|''Ark'']]'s launch. Or so everyone thought...

Four million years later, in [[1985]], they had formed a resistance group on Cybertron, operating in secret. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] discovered their continued existence (thanks to Moonracer) and tracked them back to their underground headquarters. A subsequent attempt by the [[Decepticon]]s to capture Elita One resulted in the destruction of said headquarters, but also a reunion with the Autobots stationed on [[Earth]].

Once the Decepticons were dealt with, the Female Autobots relocated to a new secret headquarters provided by Alpha Trion and chose to remain on Cybertron to continue the fight there. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

====''Unite Warriors''====
[[Megaempress]]'s band of Decepticons were recognized as the "Woman Destrons" (ウーマンデストロン ''Ūman Desutoton''), a counterpart group to the Woman Cybertrons. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}}

====MC Axis mini-comics====
When the team took out a humongous Decepticon, Moonracer began boasting about their success, claiming that they alone could retake Cybertron. Only Elita One failed to share in her team's exultation, as she knew they were only hiding and that the war was wearing them out. She prayed that her beloved Optimus Prime would return soon to save the day. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)#Elita One|The Transformers: Elita One}}

At another time, Arcee showed off to Firestar and Moonracer how "badass" she was by taking out a Decepticon the other two hadn't even noticed. She then continued to berate them that war seemed to be too tough for females in particular. Firestar was horrified at realizing that three beautiful women were at three times as much risk. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)#Arcee|The Transformers: Arcee}}

====''Generations Selects Special Comic''====
[[File:Female Autobots Selects.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb]]
The Female Autobots were among the forces of the second [[Cybertron Alliance]] brought to bear against the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] in the battle for [[Selector]] emancipation in [[Neo Scramble City]]. Having apparently picked up the ability to combine at some point, they formed Orthia on Alliance leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime's]] command in preparation as a [[Quintesson]] assault interrupted the battle. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}} The Female Autobots fared poorly against the Quintessons' ultimate champions, the [[Angolmois Energy|Angolmois]]-supercharged [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], as a blast from [[Blot (G1)|Blot's]] [[slime gun]] forcibly decombined Orthia and began to dissolve them and the surrounding Alliance forces alive. {{storylink|Abominus comic 1}}

Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise

Rgby: /* Figural Bag Clip */

{{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.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy bumblebee.jpg|thumb]]
*'''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]].

: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|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)/toys#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]]".

*'''Autobot Espionage Team''' (2003)

:The Bumblebee and Spike figurines were later sold in the fourth wave of [[Hasbro]]'s ''[[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)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

:At only one inch in height, this Bumblebee "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

:Standing at seven inches tall, [[Hard Hero]]'s Bumblebee cold cast porcelain mini-statue was limited to 1500 pieces and could link up with the company's previous [[Optimus Prime (G1)/merchandise|Optimus Prime statue]] to form a small diorama. Notionally, he was supposed to be the "first in the Minibot series", though no more Minibot statues were produced.

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

:A metallic golden chrome version of Hard Hero's Bumblebee statue, in homage to the original toy's Generation 2 chrome redeco, was offered as an exclusive by Coalition Comics in December 2004, limited to only 250 pieces.

[[File:TitaniumRM-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|22 years and five Robot Points later, he finally gets a gun. Revenge time!]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Robot Master, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Gun, display stand

:''[[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.

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

:D'elicce once again released a ''Transformers''-themed Easter egg exclusive to Lojas Americanas in 2022. The included toy is now 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.

He features 26 points of articulation and is decoed in an attempt at [[show-accuracy]], with an extra smattering of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]''-style battle damage. His robot mode is based on [https://www.instagram.com/p/CLo1eYQASuE/ concept art] by [[Ken Christiansen]], which had earlier influenced Bumblebee's look in the [[Transformers (2019 comic)|2019 IDW ongoing comic]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

:Bumblebee's chest plate can be removed to reveal details meant to represent his "inner workings". He comes with two sets of hands: one pair of closed fists, and one pair of open hands for holding weaponry and accessories. Speaking of which, he also includes a small blaster accessory (though his product description claims he has two), along with a pair of fire blast effects to simulate weapons discharge. He also comes with an Energon cube.

* '''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.

: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.

==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.

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.

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.

: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.

: 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''.

[[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.

==Stamp Bot==
[[File:OptimusPrime-StampBot-1984.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|Truck stamp is cool!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984)
:Made by HG Toys, Stamp Bot Optimus Prime is a small, non-poseable figurine of Optimus Prime based on his toy with a rubber stamp on the base, and a cap with a felt "floor" that was soaked in ink. The stamp made an image of Optimus Prime's cab mode.

: Produced by U.K. company Wendy DK and designed by Joy Gammon, this pamphlet contained patterns for two ''Transformers''-themed sweaters, one featuring Optimus Prime in robot mode, one featuring Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. The patterns were sized as Children's Large, so you're going to have to upscale it quite a bit if you want your <s>girlfriend</s> mom to knit you one.

==Oral Care Station==
*'''Optimus Prime Oral Care Station''' (1984/85?)
:An electric toothbrush in the likeness of Optimus Prime. A battery-operated feature causes the toothbrush (attached at Prime's left wrist) to move back and forth. The set also included a cup for [[water]], an extra brush head, and a stand to hold the various accoutrements.

==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Tfcaramel optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Note: Do not eat! ... the candy. The toys taste better.]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A small soft-rubber figurine (known as a ''keshigomu'' in Japan) of Optimus Prime was released as part of [[Kabaya]]'s line of ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' [[candy toy]]s. Like all the figures from the 1985 range, Prime came blindpacked, and was available in a variety of colors including white, blue, yellow, green and orange. As the name of the series suggests, he came with a piece of caramel candy.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
:A second Optimus Prime ''keshigomu'' was included in the second wave of ''Milk Caramel'' figures, sporting some broader proportions and more toy-based design cues like visible wheels, holding its gun in its left hand, rather than its right. This figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations; a baffling variant is known to exist with a ''Decepticon'' symbol on its left shoulder!

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''2'''
:The second ''Milk Caramel'' wave also contained a third Optimus Prime figure, largely identical to the second, except with its gun in its right hand, and holding its left arm aloft. Again, this figure was available in red, yellow and blue variations.
{{-}}

==Transformers Choco==
[[File:Tfchoco optimusprime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
:A small solid-color snap-together model kit of Optimus Prime was released by Kabaya as part of their ''[[Transformers Choco]]'' line, coming packaged with small chocolate candies similar to [[M&M's]] called "Chocolate Dots". The kit can transform from robot to vehicle mode, though this version of Prime doesn't have any hands.

*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists
:A second ''Choco'' version of Prime was upsized from the first a little, and was given a pair of removable fists, the right one clutching Prime's [[ion blaster]].
{{-}}

==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum optimusprime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Two fists, ion blaster
:In addition to the small ''Choco'' model kit, Kabaya also released a larger version of Prime under their ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' line. Essentially a downsized version of the original Prime toy (sans trailer), the kit is sculpted from black, red, and grey plastic, features stickers rather than paint applications for details, and came with a stick of gum.

{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 g1prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster
:The first wave of 2010's revival of the ''Transformers Gum'' series served up a double dose of Prime, beginning with this new model kit of the original Generation 1 version of the character. Sculpted from white, red, and blue plastic, the kit features a positively ''ungodly'' amount of stickers to make it look presentable and comes with Prime's traditional ion blaster weapon, which stores on the rear of his cab in vehicle mode.

:In terms of transformation, Convoy partially partforms, as the forearms are needed to be removed and attach it back during conversion.
{{-}}

[[File:Tfgum2010 henkei prime.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Convoy''' (2010)
**''Accessories:'' Smokestacks/laser cannon
:The second Prime figure in the 2010 ''Gum'' line was this kit of his ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''/''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (franchise)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' body. As with the Generation 1 model, this figure is made from white, red and blue plastic and uses ''lots'' of stickers. It comes with the ''Classics''' figure's transforming smokestack/laser cannon weapon.
{{-}}

*'''Star Convoy''' (2014)
**''Accessories:'' Cannon, Roller/ treads, car mode Hot Rodimus

:Released as part of the 8th wave of Kabaya's 2009 series of standard model kits, Star Convoy is a snap-together model kit that can transform into a futuristic big rig. Like the full-sized Star Convoy toy, this model kit can assume a battle station mode and also includes a diminutive and non-transformable Hot Rodimus in car mode that can interact with the base mode ramps. Like most other Kabaya model kits, Star Convoy has no paint applications and relies on stickers for added details.

==Hero Set==
*'''Convoy''' (1985)
**''ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle
:A large ''keshigomu'' of Optimus Prime was produced by TakaraTomy licensee [[Maruka Toys]]. Packaged on a blister card, the static, unposeable Prime figure came with a removable laser rifle, and featured a few small stickers for colour and detail. Maruka also produced a Megatron figure in the same scale, and both Prime and he were available in red, yellow or green.
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy optimus prime.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1986)
*'''Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game''' (board game, 1986)
:Optimus Prime 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, Prime 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. Prime was available as part of a 22-piece box set of Autobot figures, as a playing piece in the Defeat Trypticon Strategy Game, and later, in a peach coloration randomly packed as part of various other box sets.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1987)
**''Checklist number:'' '''31'''
:The Prime 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 (31, in Prime'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]].

==Vinyl figurine==
[[File:Optimus Prime Vinyl Figure set.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Vinyl Prime leads his decoys into battle [[Action Masters|before the great storm]].]]
*'''Scramble Gun Set''' (1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''Part.1'''
:Optimus Prime was one of several characters released by [[Seven]] and Takara as large vinyl figurines in a variety of different novelty sets. Prime came packaged with a roleplay pistol (the titular "Scramble Gun"), an Autobot badge, and four randomly assigned peach-colored decoy figures. In [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Vinyl figurine|"Part.2"]] of the set Prime is replaced by a vinyl Ultra Magnus.{{-}}

==Gold Convoy Trophy==
[[File:Gold Convoy Trophy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Thou will worship this golden convoy. Or Perish!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (trophy, 1988)
:A gold chrome trophy in the likeness of Optimus Prime was given as an award to an unknown number of distinguished [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] employees and as a [[Lucky Draw]] (alongside the [[Chromedome (G1)|Silver Chromedome Trophy]]) in [[TV Magazine]] in 1988. The two different releases have different plaques but appear to be otherwise identical. If you're an Optimus Prime merchandise completist, good bloody luck finding this one.
{{-}}

==Vehicle Play Tent==
[[File:Vehicleplaytent.jpg|thumb|Both a big truck ''and'' a series of tubes.]]
*'''ERO''' (1984?)
:The Vehicle Play Tent was part of the deluge of Transformers merchandise in the 80s. The tent was constructed by means of a series of plastic tubes that fit into sockets on corner pieces (similar to the "k'nex" building system that arrived a few years later), then a vinyl cover was slipped over this PVC skeleton to make the tent.
{{-}}

==''Generation 2''==
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Dairy Queen promotion, 1994)
[[File:DairyQueen Optimus.jpg|thumb|Rare, in a raw chicken sort of way.]]
:Released in Dairy Queen's 'Kid's Pick-Nic!' meals in 1994, this hunk of red and blue plastic is the first known Optimus Prime kids' meal toy and also probably the worst, sporting no transformation and zero articulation of any sort, with an included sticker sheet for detailing that doesn't particularly resemble any iteration of the character.

:These can be pretty hard to find, owing to their limited distribution compared to the average fast food promotion. Being pretty forgettable as toys probably didn't help either, if we're being honest.
{{-}}

*'''Optimus Prime Inflatable Bop Bag'''
[[File:OptimusPrime_G2_Inflatable_Bop_Bag.jpg|thumb|]]
:Released in 1993 by Kid Dimension, a subsidiary of Hasbro,<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/hasbro-inc-history/]</ref> this 3 foot tall Inflatable Bop Bag featured the likeness of Optimus Prime above the Transformers Generation 2 logo. Supposedly to encourage kids to punch out Optimus Prime?
{{-}}

==''Metalforce''==
[[File:MetalforceConvoy.jpg|thumb|I'm expensive!]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MFC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion Blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, alternate hand, unpainted rifle, Matrix, helmet and hand
:''Metalforce'' Convoy is a large vinyl figurine sculpted to very closely resemble Optimus Prime as he appeared in the original television series, and at the time was the most accurate product depiction of Optimus Prime's cartoon appearance.

:The figure has useful swivel joints at the shoulders and neck, and not-so-useful ones at the wrists and knees. It comes fully painted and pre-assembled, but true to his garage figure origins his Ion blaster must be cut free using a hobby knife, then assembled. His clear blue chest window piece is removable to allow the installation of his [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Matrix of Leadership]], as is a ''[[The Transformers: The Movie|Movie]]''-style Matrix cover (not pictured). He also comes with an alternate hand that allow him to hold his accessories, as well as unpainted and uncut duplicates of his Matrix, hands and helmet, for some reason...

:Metalforce Prime was available in both a matte-paint "anime" version that more precisely echoed the colors of the actual series, and a metallic-paint version (pictured), which is less [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] but more shiny. The plain-colors version was the first release and has an Autobot symbol tampograph on his shoulder as per [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the cartoon]], while the later metallic-finish version instead came with a decal sheet.

{{-}}
==''Choro-Q''==
*'''Convoy''' (2000)

:''[[Choro-Q]]'' Convoy is a [[redeco]] of the Domra Truck toy from Takara's ''Choro-Q'' toyline of non-transforming [[super-deformed]] vehicles. He was an [[exclusive]] at [[BotCon]] Japan 2000, and features a [[pull-back motor]] and a rear license plate that reads "BotCon Japan 2000".

:Along with ''Choro-Q'' [[Mirage (G1)|Ligier]] and [[Megatron (G1)/toys|Megatron]], Convoy was given out randomly to convention attendees. Each toy was limited to 1000 pieces.

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|#IGotPrimeOnIt]]
*'''Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Optimus Prime was available as part of the first wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFaxe}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase axe.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy with Ax''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Also available in the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave was a rare "Secret Figure" version of Optimus (斧付きコンボイ, ''ono-tsuki konboi''), decorated in metallic paint and replacing his gun-wielding right hand with his [[energon-axe]].

: 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.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFtrailer}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Truck.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|We're just as confused as you are, folks.]]
*'''Convoy (Trailer Mode)''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''

:Part of the second ''Super Collection Figure'' act, this is the only ''SCF'' figure of a vehicle mode Transformer. As with the previous non-chase Prime figure, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve blindpacked figures.

: Unlike every other figure in the line (excluding build-a-figures), this one does ''not'' come with a figure stand, because... well, what would be the point?

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegaGun}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase jetpack.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Megatron & Convoy''' (2000)
**''Act'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:The second ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, like the first, also had its own Optimus Prime chase figure, this one wielding Megatron in gun mode and wearing [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]]'s [[jet pack|rocket pack]], as seen in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]] episode "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 3]]".

: This was presumably also released at a ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFdamage}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase damage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Damaged Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:There was no mass-release Optimus Prime figure for the third ''Super Collection Figure'' act, but there was another rare chase figure, this time a battle-damaged version of the original figure from the first act, referencing his injuries from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

: Again, it was ''probably'' released in one out of every ten cases. He replaced the clear version of [[Bumblebee (G1)/merchandise#Super Collection Figure|Bumblebee]] in the case.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFcom}}
[[File:SCF Optimus Comm.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|He's actually checking his makeup.]]
*'''Convoy (B)''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''4'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:For the fourth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, Prime was rendered weaponless, speaking into the open communication panel on his left arm. Like all the figures in the fourth wave, Prime 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 blindpacked figures.

: Care should be taken when moving the joints of the pewter version, as is not uncommon for the connector pegs to have gotten painted as well, resulting in stuck limbs and tearing joints. Shaving the interior of the socket slightly with a hobby knife is usually sufficient to relieve the issue. (This holds true for all other pewter figures on this list, and in fact the entire dang line from here on.)

: In eight out of every ten cases, the pewter version of Prime came packaged with the left arm of the collectible [[Metroplex (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Metroplex]] build-a-figure; these parts were either in full color or clear-plastic, packed at an equal ratio of four out of eight cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFSilverMatrix}}
[[File:SCF Optimus chase silver.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Convoy''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''5'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:This version of Prime was a chase figure in the fifth ''Super Collection Figure'' act, and depicts the Autobot leader, rendered in metallic silver, opening the Matrix, referencing the end of "[[The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2]]". This figure was packed in at a ''confirmed'' ratio of one per every ten cases.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFMegatrongun}}

*'''Convoy (C) with Megatron Gun Mode''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Extra right fist, stand

:The sixth ''Super Collection Figure'' wave featured yet another mass-release version of Optimus. While this Optimus is wielding Megatron (using the same mold as the chase figure from the second Act), he has entirely new-mold arms, plus an interchangeable empty right fist. On top of that he was extensively redecoed: he's actually cast in different shades of light salmon plastic and heavily painted over in an overall darker, less saturated scheme, his normally-white parts now in medium-gray. His pec-windows are painted with a weird shiny dark blue that gives them a translucent look. The figure was available in both full color and pewter versions in an equal ratio.

: 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, packed at a ratio of six color parts to two pewter per case.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Optimus.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey Spike, pull my finger.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002/2006)

: Part of the first wave of Hasbro's ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series, Optimus is a [[redeco]] of the standard ''Super Collection Figure'' Optimus mold, with a ''slight'' [[retool]]ing to give him longer, thicker, rounded-off helmet antennae [[for safety reasons]]. 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. There are a few other small deco differences to the ''Heroes'' version, such as his helmet crest changing from white to gray.

: Optimus 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]]''. Cast in solid-white plastic rather than translucent blue, this makes him ''very'' similar to the original ''SCF'' toy, but he retained the thicker antennae, plus got some very minor paint changes on the head: his crest-vent went back to white, and oddly his eyes are white too, rather than the ''SCF'' version's chest-window light blue.

*'''Powermaster Optimus Prime Apex Armor''' (2002)

: An unexpected addition to the line, especially in the first wave next to another Optimus (see above), "Apex Armor" Optimus is a [[redeco]] of [[Ginrai (robot)#Super Collection Figure|God Ginrai]], the double-armored-up form of Optimus's ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]. There are a few small paint differences between God Ginrai and Apex Armor Prime (beyond the obvious "opaque vs clear-plastic base figure" thing, we mean), most notably that the many parts on God Ginrai that are darker unpainted gray plastic, like the thighs and side-panels/guns on the lower legs, have been painted the same light gray as the chest on Optimus.

: This is the first Hasbro-release depiction of Optimus in this mode, later backed up with the release of the full-fledged toy of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]] with [[Apex Bomber]] the following year.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2002)

:This second-wave ''Heroes of Cybertron'' release is a variation of the chase figure from the first ''Super Collection Figure'' wave, depicting Prime with his right hand replaced with his energy axe. This figure is a little different from its Japanese progenitor (beyond the "clear-plastic painted over" deal, of course), being painted in normal matte/gloss rather than metallic paint, and replacing the left "pointing" hand with the clenched fist of the later "communicator" version of Optimus. It also retains the ''Heroes'' molding alterations to Optimus's helmet.

: 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 Optimus. (The same happened to this wave's energy-weapon-wielding [[Megatron (G1)/merchandise#Heroes of Cybertron|Megatron]].)

**''Legacy of Revoltech ID number'': '''LR-008'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, two clenched fists, gun-wielding right hand, pointing right hand, open left hand

:A non-transforming but ''highly'' articulated Optimus Prime action figure, ''[[Revoltech]]'' Convoy uses the ''Revoltech'' "revolver joints" for maximum poseability. Prime comes with his now-standard ion blaster and Matrix of Leadership accessories, as well as a few alternate hands; while one of the hands is specifically designed to grip the ion blaster, he can't really do anything dramatic with the Matrix, and it just sort of sits in his open-palmed left hand. His sculpting is explicitly in the style of [[Pat Lee|Pat "serfdom" Lee]]'s interpretation of Prime, but due to physical constraints has no lack of perspective.

:Unsurprisingly, this mold was redecoed to create ''Revoltech'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/merchandise#Revoltech|Ultra Magnus]]. Magnus comes with a new hand mold that can be used to connect him and Prime together in a handshake.

:The initial reveal of the figure (sculpted by Yamaguchi) features swiveling cut joints instead of "revolver joints" (notably the hip parts), with a rather jarring angled joint on the waist (which results in a "sliced" appearance if swiveled).

:Unfortunately, ''Revoltech'' Convoy cannot be distributed to the US due to licensing restrictions, so fans must rely on online hobby shops to import him.

:In 2014, ''Revoltech'' Convoy was reissued as part of the ''Legacy of Revoltech'' line, with an increased price of 3900 yen. This rerelease uses revised Revoltech joints, which come in matte black instead of glossy and have more ratcheting points than previous releases.

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

:Another "retro-styled" non-transforming figure by [[Super7]], ''Super Shogun'' Optimus Prime is meant to be an homage to the 1970s "{{w|Shogun Warriors (toys)|Shogun Warriors}}" toyline. To match the famous features of those older toys, this Optimus stands 24" tall and is mostly made of hollow plastic, with 3 points of articulation, wheels on his feet, and a spring-loaded firing left fist. His chest doors open to reveal a removable Matrix of Leadership. Suggested retail price was $350 - hopefully if you're old enough to remember "Shogun Warriors" you've gotten a good job by now.

**''Accessories'': Ion blaster, Energon-axe, pointing hand

:[[Nendoroid]] Optimus Prime is a [[super deformed]], adorable rendition of the original Autobot commander. It is the first Nendoroid figure released for a "Generation 1" character, as the first Nendoroid figures for ''Transformers'' were for the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' movie.

:As with most Nendoroids, Optimus Prime can interchange body parts with compatible figures, and comes with an alternative "pointing hand" accessory to aid with specific posing. The figure is packed with Optimus's trademark Ion blaster and Energon-axe weapons (generically referred to as a gun and an energy axe by the Good Smile Company website), the latter of which replaces Optimus's hand when wielded. He also features articulation at the head, knees, shoulders, elbows, and even his chest.

:Unusually for a Nendoroid figure, this sculpt is produced by Toyhouse with Nendoron's supervision. This mold was later redecoed as [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Nendoroid|Nemesis Prime]].

Soundwave (G1)/merchandise

{{suite}}

'''Soundwave'''. Quantity of merchandise: sufficient.

==Transformers Design Center==
[[File:Transformers design center.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Design Center''' (1984)

:Manufactured by [[Arrow]], the Soundwave Design Center was a box in the general shape and likeness of Soundwave which contained various arts and crafts projects for young tykes to entertain themselves with. His head pulled out to reveal a ruler, one arm contains a hilariously dinky and useless pair of "scissors", his lower legs contained rubbing-transfer panels, and the entire back worked as a sort of pantograph machine - attaching a nib to one end of the large mechanical armature ostensibly allowed you to 'remote draw' designs on the included plates.
{{-}}

==Transformers Cassette Player==
[[File:SoundwaveCassettePlayer.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Teddy Ruxpin comparisons: unappreciated.]]
*'''Cassette Player''' (1985)

:A non-Transforming cassette player in the shape of Soundwave in his robot mode (oh the irony!), made by Hasbro in 1985. It runs on 3 C batteries (not included, of course).

{{-}}
==Transformers Milk Caramel==
[[File:Milk caramel soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Soundwave''' (1985)
:One of [[Kabaya]]'s first Transformers [[candy toy]] lines, the ''[[Transformers Milk Caramel]]'' series featured small rubber figures, similar to the later-released [[Decoy]]s, but smaller, flatter and based more on the toys, rather than their animation models. Soundwave was available in numerous different colors.
{{-}}
==Transformers Gum==
[[File:Tfgum soundwave.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*'''Soundwave''' (1985)
**''Accessories:'' Rocket launcher, rocket

:A model kit of Soundwave was available as part of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Although armed with only one of his guns and lacking the ability to store it in his battery compartment like the original toy could, he retains his opening chest door. Although ''Transformers Gum'' versions of some of Soundwave's cassettes would later be released, they proved too large to fit in ''Gum'' Soundwave's chest; he could, however, accommodate the smaller cassettes released as part of Kabaya's ''other'' candy toy model kit series, ''[[Transformers Choco]]''.

:This Soundwave figure was later re-released in 1997 by a Korean company named [[Toon Town]], in a two-pack with the "Transformers Gum" version of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]].

::*''[http://bowbowdaijin.blog96.fc2.com/blog-entry-07.html More information on Transformers Gum Soundwave at a Japanese fan blog]''
{{-}}

==Decoy==
[[File:Decoy soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Destron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, 1985)
: This small purple rubber figurine of Soundwave was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Soundwave's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for. A peach-colored version of Soundwave could be found packed in various other multi-packs the following year, and in numerous other colours as part of the blindpacked ''[[Transformers Ramune]]'' line.

*'''Soundwave''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''36'''

: The Soundwave 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 (36, in Soundwave's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], 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.

==Super Collection Figure==
[[File:SCF Soundwave.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2001)
**''Act'': '''3'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Soundwave was available in the third wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Soundwave came with the right arm of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure". This part could be either full-color or clear plastic, at a ratio of 1:1.

{{-}}{{anchor|SCFSoundblaster}}
[[File:SCF Soundblaster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
*'''Soundblaster''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: Soundwave's PVC was recolored into his black ''Headmasters'' incarnation, Soundblaster, for the sixth ''SCF'' Act. This time, the figure was available in a variant metallic silver "pewter" color scheme, at the same ratio of one each per standard case. The full-color version is actually cast in transparent red plastic and painted over entirely save his chest-window.

: In eight out of every ten cases, pewter Soundblaster came packaged with the right leg of this wave's [[Grand Maximus#Heroes of Cybertron|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure. This part could be in either full color or pewter, in the ''very'' unequal ratio of six color parts to every two pewter.

: This Act was seemingly in shorter supply than the others before and since, and is not terribly common on the secondary market.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage at the joints, 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.

{{-}}

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Soundwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)

: The original Soundwave ''SCF'' figure was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series. Like all figures in the line, this release of Soundwave differed from his ''SCF'' counterpart by being cast entirely in translucent red plastic and then painted over, save for his eyes, allowing for a [[light-piping]] effect. There are a few other minor differences, namely the vents on the sides of his helmet being white instead of black, he uses a paler shade of yellow, and his, um, groin-buttons being a solid block of white rather than individually painted.

: Rather than being blindpacked, Soundwave was sold on an individual blister pack with a profile card included.

: Soundwave 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]]''. Soundwave was ''mostly'' the same as the previous HOC release, except for being cast in solid rather than translucent plastic. His paint applications are more in-line with the original SCF, with black vents and separately-painted groin-buttons.

==''MyClone''==
[[File:Myclone soundwave.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MTF012'''

:Released in the second wave of the ''[[MyClone]]'' line of Transformers PVC figures, this [[super deformed]] Soundwave comes with a hexagonal blue display stand, which can link up with the identical stands included with other MyClone figures. His modular design allows his parts to be mixed and matched with those of any other MyClone figure.

==''Q-Robo Collection''==
[[File:Qrobo soundwave.jpg|thumb|300px]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)
**''Accessories:'' Laserbeak

:A super-deformed PVC of Soundwave was released as part of the ''[[Q-Robo Collection Figure|Q-Robo Collection]]'', and included a removable Laserbeak figure that could fit into his chest, as if in mid-ejection. Like all the figures in the series, it was sold blindpacked in a plastic capsule, featured articulation in the neck and shoulders, and was also available in a translucent purple color scheme.

:At only one inch in height, this Soundwave "bottlecap" figurine (so named because its display base is the size of a bottlecap) was one of fourteen blindpacked figures available in Kabaya's Transformers [[Generation 1 Figure-Collection]]. The figure was rendered in a "retro" black and white color scheme, and came with a leaflet, personalized with cartoon screen captures.

:This statue of Soundwave by [[Palisades Toys]] stands at 6" tall, and was limited to 2000 pieces worldwide. Palisades later released mini-statues of Laserbeak and Ravage which were scaled to fit with Soundwave; the Laserbeak statue was capable of perching on Soundwave's outstretched arm.

He comes with Ratbat perched on his shoulder, and a scale version of Frenzy in tape mode that can be freely removed. This is Sound Blaster's first North American release. His name has been changed from "Soundblaster" to "Sound Blaster".

:His [[Tech Spec]] contains some interesting new information, notably that his body was reconstructed using technology stolen from [[Nebulos]] and his shoulder cannon is now an "electric launcher" capable of firing charged particles at 38,000 volts. His tech spec stats are STR 10 INT 7 SPD 8 END 10 RNK 9 CRG 10 FBL 10 SKL 8 and are completely different from the ones on his original Japanese release.

==''G.I. Joe and the Transformers''==

*'''Shockwave H.I.S.S. Tank with two figures & Energon''' (2012)

: An [[exclusive]] release for [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2012, this box set contains a [[redeco]] of the 2012 new-[[mold]] ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I.

:Destro's accessories include Soundwave in the form of a non-transforming tape deck and three "[[Mini-Con]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]]s" – micro-cassettes capable of being placed within the Soundwave toy. The toy's press release identifies the tapes as [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Laserbeak]], [[Ravage (G1)/toys#G.I. Joe and the Transformers|Ravage]], and [[Ratbat (G1)/toys#G.I. Joe and the Transformers 2|Ratbat]], but since all three sport the sculpted details of the original Laserbeak toy and are colored solid red, gold, and orange, just who is meant to be who is unclear.

:Released as part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers R.E.D.]]'' line, Soundwave is a non-transforming 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'' and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] The Black Series'' lines. He is highly articulated and features extensive paint operations in an attempt to re-create <s>a Google Images search's [[Circular reporting|best guess at]]</s> his appearance [[show-accuracy|in the show]].

:Soundwave includes a number of accessories. He features two pairs of interchangeable hands: a set of two closed fists, a right hand to hold his included [[Concussion weapon|Concussion Blaster]], and a left hand posed with his index finger out to press his eject button. Speaking of which, his eject button actually depresses, opening his translucent cassette door; his cassette tape accessory, which is sculpted and coloured like [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#R.E.D. .5BRobot Enhanced Design.5D|Laserbeak]], can store inside his chest. Soundwave's shoulder-mounted cannon, attached by a swivel joint, is advertised as an accessory and can be removed, though it has no handle to be held like a gun. Oddly, his backpack (i.e. his cassette mode battery compartment) is ''also'' an accessory according to his product description; it can be removed and just... set aside, we guess.

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

:Manufactured by [[Arrow]], the Soundwave Design Center was a box in the general shape and likeness of Soundwave which contained various arts and crafts projects for young tykes to entertain themselves with. His head pulled out to reveal a ruler, one arm contains a hilariously dinky and useless pair of "scissors", his lower legs contained rubbing-transfer panels, and the entire back worked as a sort of pantograph machine - attaching a nib to one end of the large mechanical armature ostensibly allowed you to 'remote draw' designs on the included plates.

:A model kit of Soundwave was available as part of Kabaya's ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' range of figures. Released in the first wave of the series and standing at about four inches tall, he was moulded from red, black and grey plastic and featured stickers for detail. Although armed with only one of his guns and lacking the ability to store it in his battery compartment like the original toy could, he retains his opening chest door. Although ''Transformers Gum'' versions of some of Soundwave's cassettes would later be released, they proved too large to fit in ''Gum'' Soundwave's chest; he could, however, accommodate the smaller cassettes released as part of Kabaya's ''other'' candy toy model kit series, ''[[Transformers Choco]]''.

: The Soundwave 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 (36, in Soundwave's case). Like all Decepticon Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]], [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]], 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.

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Soundwave was available in the third wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Like all the figures in the wave, it was available as both a standard full color figure and a colorless clear plastic version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: In two out of every ten cases, the color version of Soundwave came with the right arm of the wave's collectible [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure". This part could be either full-color or clear plastic, at a ratio of 1:1.

*'''Soundblaster''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''6'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

: Soundwave's PVC was recolored into his black ''Headmasters'' incarnation, Soundblaster, for the sixth ''SCF'' Act. This time, the figure was available in a variant metallic silver "pewter" color scheme, at the same ratio of one each per standard case. The full-color version is actually cast in transparent red plastic and painted over entirely save his chest-window.

: In eight out of every ten cases, pewter Soundblaster came packaged with the right leg of this wave's [[Grand Maximus#Heroes of Cybertron|Grand Maximus]] build-a-figure. This part could be in either full color or pewter, in the ''very'' unequal ratio of six color parts to every two pewter.

: This Act was seemingly in shorter supply than the others before and since, and is not terribly common on the secondary market.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage at the joints, 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.

==''Heroes of Cybertron''==
[[File:HOC Soundwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2003)

: The original Soundwave ''SCF'' figure was later released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of the ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' series. Like all figures in the line, this release of Soundwave differed from his ''SCF'' counterpart by being cast entirely in translucent red plastic and then painted over, save for his eyes, allowing for a [[light-piping]] effect. There are a few other minor differences, namely the vents on the sides of his helmet being white instead of black, he uses a paler shade of yellow, and his, um, groin-buttons being a solid block of white rather than individually painted.

: Rather than being blindpacked, Soundwave was sold on an individual blister pack with a profile card included.

: Soundwave 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]]''. Soundwave was ''mostly'' the same as the previous HOC release, except for being cast in solid rather than translucent plastic. His paint applications are more in-line with the original SCF, with black vents and separately-painted groin-buttons.

*'''Soundwave''' (2020)
**''Accessories'': Concussion blaster, torso plate, [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys|Laserbeak]] cassette

:''Super Cyborg'' Soundwave is a non-transforming figure released by [[Super7]], standing 11 inches tall and featuring 7 points of articulation. Its key distinguishing feature is a removable torso plate that exposes the detailed sculpted mechanical workings of the character's innards - not just the expected non-transforming Laserbeak cassette but also all sorts of diodes, transistors, and additional tape reels.

*'''Soundwave (Clear)''' (2020)
**''Accessories'': Concussion blaster, torso plate, Laserbeak cassette

:One of the [[exclusive]]s for [[New York Comic Con]] 2020 was a version of ''Super Cyborg'' Soundwave redone in mostly clear plastic, with only some pale blue in the upper torso.

*'''Soundblaster''' (2021)
**''Accessories'': Concussion blaster, torso plate, [[Ratbat (G1)/toys|Ratbat]] cassette

:''Super Cyborg'' Soundwave was redecoed in black as Soundblaster, now featuring a cassette that was labeled as "Ratbat" even though it is clearly the Laserbeak sculpt.

[[File:TF-R.E.D.-Soundwave.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Laserbeak, eject. Operation: Search for Nucleon.]]
*'''Soundwave''' (2020)
**''Accessories'': Concussion Blaster, cassette tape, 2 alternate hands, shoulder-mounted cannon, backpack

:Released as part of the first wave of the ''[[Transformers R.E.D.]]'' line, Soundwave is a non-transforming 6-inch action figure akin to the ones from the ''[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] Legends'' and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] The Black Series'' lines. He is highly articulated and features extensive paint operations in an attempt to re-create <s>a Google Images search's [[Circular reporting|best guess at]]</s> his appearance [[show-accuracy|in the show]].

:Soundwave includes a number of accessories. He features two pairs of interchangeable hands: a set of two closed fists, a right hand to hold his included [[Concussion weapon|Concussion Blaster]], and a left hand posed with his index finger out to press his eject button. Speaking of which, his eject button actually depresses, opening his translucent cassette door; his cassette tape accessory, which is sculpted and coloured like [[Laserbeak (G1)/toys#R.E.D. .5BRobot Enhanced Design.5D|Laserbeak]], can store inside his chest. Soundwave's shoulder-mounted cannon, attached by a swivel joint, is advertised as an accessory and can be removed, though it has no handle to be held like a gun. Oddly, his backpack (i.e. his cassette mode battery compartment) is ''also'' an accessory according to his product description; it can be removed and just... set aside, we guess.

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

*In the Japanese dub of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse]]'', [[Thrust (Cyberverse)|Thrust]] was female, and went by the name '''[[Red Wing]]'''.
*Due to an animation error, [[Acid Storm (Cyberverse)|Acid Storm]] fluctuates between the male and female Seeker animation models in the cartoon. Writer [[Mae Catt]] would later offer an in-universe explanation on Twitter that changing body types is "just something Acid Storm likes to do" and that pronouns are "up to Acid Storm".

Rgby: /* Page Merge? */ re-upping proposal

==Combination==
Legout is specifically namedropped in "Rock Out with Your Legout", one of the fake tracks on the back of the Retro Rock packaging. I would suggest that's probably enough to identify it as the combined form of either the two Autobots or at least Dairu and Uruaz unless we're sticking to being willfully blind about things. (It also seems obvious that the other combined should be at "Tuogel" with a nickname template, to me, but who knows what happens on this wiki these days.) -[[User:LV|LV]] ([[User talk:LV|talk]]) 14:37, 16 August 2018 (EDT)

==Recreated Mold==
Would it be possible to post a link to the interview in which John Warden said that they actually recreated the molds for these dinocassettes? Every now and again, someone posts a message on a message board asking "Do we ''really'' know that?" and I'm getting tired of having to re-locate the evidence from scratch. This just seems like a viable and appropriate place to house such a link for perpetuity.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] ([[User talk:G.B. Blackrock|talk]]) 11:55, 20 September 2018 (EDT)
:[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/152621-sdcc-2018-transformers-set-studio-series-bumblebee-withdile-and-saur-from-headmasters/page-7#entry3764265 This] is the original source of that news. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 20:53, 20 September 2018 (EDT)

==Page Merge?==
I'd like to propose merging this page as well as Zauru's with their G1 selves; it feels unintuitive that these basically fiction-less releases are labeled as distinct movieverse characters just because they happened to be released under Studio Series, especially considering that since their release their fellow W Cassettebots were also re-released and explicitly labeled as G1 and Studio Series has started straight up including G1 characters. [[User:Rgby|Rgby]] ([[User talk:Rgby|talk]]) 20:15, 22 March 2022 (EDT)
:Just re-upping this, and wanted to also mention that the way these releases are handled right now means that the Legout page never mentions that a reissue exists, while Decibel's is included in his toy section even though his combined form was ''also'' not directly advertised.

Is there a need for a page on BotBots as a race of transformer? [[User:Indridcold13|Indridcold13]] ([[User talk:Indridcold13|talk]]) 05:46, 27 March 2022 (EDT)
:You know, I've kinda wondered this myself, especially given the amount of times I've seen "BotBots" (in the species context) ending up getting linked to the ''BotBots'' franchise article (this article) because it's all we have right now. I can't think of a specific example off the top of my head, but with the amount of edits I've done to a ton of BotBot-related articles over the past day and a bit, I've seen several links like that. I definitely think there is enough of a reason for an article, but I'd be interested what others might have to say on the topic. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 07:11, 27 March 2022 (EDT)
::My inclination would be to rework the existing [[AllSpark Mutation]] page into a broader "energon mutation" page, that covers the bots from TF07 and ROTF, the bots from that Bee Movie deleted scene, and BotBots. While the details obviously differ between continuities, there's a consistent base concept of "energon turning inanimate objects into mischievous Transformers" - we've taken a similar approach with articles like [[unspace]] that cover a concept that's basically the same idea but has different names/details across continuities. (For reference, ROTF explicitly names the energy radiated by the AllSpark as energon, so IMO it's not a stretch at all grouping those bots into this.) [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 09:58, 27 March 2022 (EDT)
:::I agree the Allspark Mutation page needs to expand to include BotBots. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 10:27, 27 March 2022 (EDT)
::::Makes sense to me. We have been using [[Energon radiation]] for the cloud that brought them to life, expanding Allspark Mutation as well, just makes sense. Only real difference I see is the movie mutations are just technological based and BotBots are anything. Plus they still are whatever they were before. So [[Clogstopper]] is a robot made of wood and rubber, [[Burgertron]] is a robot made of beef, buns, ect.[[User:ParadoxFactor|ParadoxFactor]] ([[User talk:ParadoxFactor|talk]]) 13:20, 27 March 2022 (EDT)

==Terminology shift==
Hasbro has started very consistently using "squad" instead of "tribe" across both the Botbots cartoon and the series 6 product descriptions and I propose TFWiki do the same, both for consistency's sake and because I think it's likely that they changed it due to the racial baggage that comes with the word. (They do still use "tribe" on the Botbots website but it looks like hasn't been updated in like, years.) [[User:Rgby|Rgby]] ([[User talk:Rgby|talk]]) 15:26, 20 April 2022 (EDT)
