<option>Un '''emballage multilingue''' est essentiellement le format standard dans lequel les jouets ''Transformers'' sont disponibles dans les pays autres que les États-Unis. Plutôt que de produire des emballages portant du texte dans une seule langue pour chaque pays, Hasbro économise de l'argent en mettant des textes dans plusieurs langues différentes sur le même emballage, qui sera alors envoyé sur tous les marchés. (Il y a quelques exceptions, telles que des endroits comme l'Australie, la Nouvelle Zélande, Hong Kong, la Malaisie, Singapour ou les Philippines, qui obtiennent traditionnellement leurs jouets dans le même emballage que celui disponible aux États-Unis.)</option>

<option>El '''empaquetado multilingüe''' es la forma común en la que los juguetes ''Transformers'' están disponibles en otros países fuera de los Estados Unidos. En vez de hacer empaques con un lenguaje único para cada región, Hasbro ahorra dinero imprimiendo el texto en varios lenguajes diferentes en un mismo empaque, el cual a continuación será distribuido a todos los mercados objetivo. (Existen algunas excepciones como Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Hong Kong, Malasia, Singapur o las Filipinas, que usualmente usan el mismo empaque que en los Estados Unidos.)</option>

<option>'''Mehrsprachige Verpackungen''' sind gewissermaßen die übliche Form, in der ''Transformers'' Spielzeugfiguren in Ländern außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten erhältlich sind. Statt für verschiedene Länder Verpackungen mit Texten in einer einzelnen Sprache herzustellen, spart Hasbro Geld, indem dieselbe Verpackung mit Texten in verschiedenen Sprachen bedruckt wird, die dann in den jeweiligen nationalen Märkten veröffentlicht wird. (Es gibt einige Ausnahmen, darunter Regionen wie Australien, Neuseeland, Honkong, Malaysia, Singapur oder die Philippinen, in denen die Spielzeuge normalerweise in denselben Verpackungen erscheinen, die auch in den Vereinigten Staaten erhältlich sind.)</option>

<option>Le '''confezioni multilingua''' sono essenzialmente il formato standard in cui i ''Transformers ''sono distribuiti fuori dagli Stati Uniti. Piuttosto che produrre confezioni in una sola lingua per paese, Hasbro risparmia inserendo testo in più lingue differenti sulla stessa confezione, che verrà distribuita in tutti i mercati.(Ci sono alcune eccezioni, in posti come l'Australia, la Nuova Zelanda, Hong Kong, in Malesia, Singapore e nelle Filippine, che li vedono tradizionalmente distribuiti nella stessa confezione degli Stati Uniti.)</option>

<option>En '''flerspråkig förpackning''' är standard-sättet ''Transformers''-leksaker är tillgängliga i andra land utanför USA. Istället för att producera förpackningar som har texter i ett enskilt språk för olika länder, så sparar Hasbro pengar genom att sätta texter i flera olika språk på samma förpackning, som sedan blir släppt i alla målmarknaderna. (Det finns få undantag, som till exempel i platser som Australien, Nya Zeeland, Hong Kong, Malysia, Singapore eller Filipinerna, som traditionellt får samma förpackning för leksakerna som i USA)</option>

<option>'''Paket multibahasa''' adalah cara standar mainan ''Transformers'' untuk tersedia di negara selain Amerika Serikat. Daripada memaket satu pak mainan dengan satu bahasa untuk negara-negara berbeda, Hasbro menghemat banyak uang dengan menempatkan teks multibahasa di paket yang sama, yang akan dirilis di semua pasar target. (Pengecualian untuk beberapa negara seperti Australia, Selandia Baru, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapura, atau Filipina, yang mendapatkan paket yang sama seperti di Amerika Serikat.)</option>

<option>'''Wielojęzyczne opakowania''' są zasadniczo standardem dla zabawek ''Transformers'' dostępnych w innych krajach poza Stanami Zjednoczonymi. Przy produkcji opakowań dają oddzielny tekst dla każdego kraju, Hasbro oszczędza pieniądze poprzez tworzenie tekstów w różnych językach w tym samym opakowaniu, które zostaną następnie wydane na wszystkich rynkach docelowych. (Jest kilka wyjątków dla takich miejsc jak Australia, Nowa Zelandia, Hong Kong, Malezja, Singapur i Filipiny, które dostają zabawki z opakowaniem takim jak w Stanach Zjednoczonych.)</option>

<option>'''Meertalige verpakkingen''' zijn in essentie de standaard methode van verkrijgbaarheid van ''Transformers'' speelgoed in landen buiten de Verenigde Staten. In plaats van meerdere verpakkingen te produceren met teksten in een enkele taal voor verschillende landen, bespaart Hasbro geld door teksten in verschillende talen op dezelfde verpakking te zetten, die dan weer verkrijgbaar worden gemaakt in alle doelmarkten. (Er zijn een paar uitzonderingen voor regio's zoals Australië, Nieuw-Zeeland, Hong Kong, Maleisië, Singapore of de Filipijnen, welke nromaal gezien speelgoed krijgen in dezelfde verpakking als ook verkrijgbaar is in de Verenigde Staten.)</option>

(Það eru nokkrar undantekningar, svo sem staðir eins og Ástralía, Nýja Sjáland, Hong Kong, Malasía, Singapore eða Filippseyjar, sem jafnan fá leikföng sín í sömu umbúðir og eru fáanlegar í Bandaríkjunum.)</option>

Samaa pakkausta voidaan siten käyttää kaikilla markkinoilla. (Joissakin paikoissa, kuten Australiassa, Uudessa-Seelannissa, Hongkongissa, Malesiassa, Singaporessa sekä Filippiineillä tavataan kuitenkin poikkeuksellisesti käyttää samaa pakkausta kuin Yhdysvalloissa.)</option>

<option>'''العبوة متعددة اللغات''' هي في الأساس الطريقة القياسية التي تتوفر بها ألعاب ''Transformers'' في بلدان خارج الولايات المتحدة. بدلاً من إنتاج نصوص رياضية مغلفة بلغة واحدة لبلدان مختلفة ، توفر Hasbro المال عن طريق وضع نصوص بلغات مختلفة على نفس العبوة ، والتي سيتم إصدارها بعد ذلك في جميع الأسواق المستهدفة.

Transformers Premium Finish

[[File:Premium-Finish-toyline-logo.png|center|150px]]
'''''Transformers Premium Finish''''' (トランスフォーマープレミアムフィニッシュ ''Toransufōmā Puremiamu Finisshu'') is a [[TakaraTomy]] toyline that began in [[2021]]. The first Japan-exclusive line since ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' ended in [[2019]], ''Premium Finish'' seeks to reproduce exact decos based on various media, such as the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon or the ''[[Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee]]'' film. The line is split into ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' (specifically from ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''), identified as "PF WFC-" and ''[[Studio Series]]'', identified as "PFSS-". The two lines are planned for six releases each, across October 2021 and March [[2022]].

Much like TakaraTomy's ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'', ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'', and ''[[The Transformers Golden Lagoon|Golden Lagoon]]'' toys, ''Premium Finish'' toys were imported and rereleased by [[Hasbro]] for online markets, namely [[Hasbro Pulse]].

Prior to the actual release of the first wave, there was some confusion regarding the ID numbers of the ''War for Cybertron'' releases: Online Japanese solicitations used "PF WFC-", the packaging mock-up for Optimus Prime depicted in official promotional photos stated "PFGR-", and Hasbro Pulse listings used "GE-". The actual packaging, which deviates significantly from the mock-up, uses "PF WFC-".

Romanization

2021-12-20T00:27:19Z

S222121-2:

[[Image:GenerationsJapaneseNames.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Modern-day Japanese Transformers packaging with properly romanized names alongside their katakana spelling, leaving nothing to interpretation.]]
'''Romanization''' refers to the adaptation of languages or words that do not use Latin letters to the 26-character Latin [[alphabet]] used in English (among other, less important languages). Technically, the English-specific term would be "Anglicization".

The proper romanization of Japanese character names can sometimes be unclear. This wiki notes such ambiguities if they are considered significant.
{{-}}
==Japanese: Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji==
Any writing system is, at best, an approximation of the sounds it represents. The modern Japanese writing system distinguishes between fewer {{w|phoneme}}s than most, but this does not mean the language ''lacks'' those phonemes, merely that different sounds can be represented by the same symbols. English has more than twenty-six sounds denoted by character-combinations (ex. "ch" makes a sound that is not the combination of the mouth-movements for "c" and "h", but a close cousin), but even those combinations are imperfect; the "oo" letter sequence represents different sounds in "cook" and "spook". While Japanese does have official romanization systems, such as the {{w|Nihon-shiki romanization|Nihon-shiki}}, it can still be difficult to romanize a Japanese word to match its author's intent due to the sharing of phonemes and other artifacts of the differences between the English and Japanese languages. Kana can be written using two native alphabets: the "{{w|hiragana}}" script used primarily for Japanese words, and the "{{w|katakana}}" script used primarily for loanwords or foreign words.

Kana is a primarily syllabic script; with the exception of six kana, each symbol represents a consonant-vowel pair, such as ど ''do'', は ''ha'', ぐ ''gu'', and け ''ke''.

These basic kana are in turn modified by the "{{w|dakuten}}" (゙ ), which resembles a quotation mark and transforms a voiceless kana such as "ka" into a voiced "ga" and changes the soft "f-" series into the "b-" series; and the "{{w|handakuten}}" (゚ ), which resembles a degree sign and modifies the soft "f-" series of kana into the hard "p-" series.

Due to the influence of the Chinese language, Japanese also uses "{{w|Kanji}}", logographic symbols that represent specific concepts. These kanji often have two pronunciations, one the Japanese word for the specific concept (訓読み ''kun'yomi'') and another based on the borrowed Chinese word (音読み ''on'yomi''), but can sometimes have additional pronunciations. Single kanji can also be compounded into more complex concepts; for example, the Japanese word for telephone, "''Denwa''" is made up of the symbols "電話", which separately mean "electric" and "talk".

Due to its separate development, the Japanese language does not share the same focus as English on certain sounds such as "l", "f", or "v", among several others. To approximate these sounds, Japanese generally uses phonemes from the "r-", "h-", and "b-" series of kana. Unfortunately, this can lead to ambiguity as to which sound is truly intended, often resulting in a phenomenon called "[[Engrish]]", when a translator not familiar enough with English under- or over-romanizes a Japanese word (usually based on a foreign word to begin with) into English or another Western language. Foreign words rendered "down" into the Japanese script and then re-Romanized frequently acquire ''creative'' spellings as a result, with such hilarious results as "Thanks for '''F'''isiting Us" instead of "Thanks for '''V'''isiting Us". For full phrases, this is further compounded by the disparate grammatical structure of Japanese which, unlike English, has a separate word order, frequently omits subjects, and lacks articles. The situation isn't helped at all by the fact that, often, the English characters are used merely for an aesthetic purpose or to appear "exotic", making literal accuracy a low priority.

In fairness, we mangled the name of their entire country. [[Drift (G1)|And it's happened back-to-front in Transformers, now]].

{{see|Wikipedia:Romanization of Japanese}}

===Romanization difficulties with regards to Transformers===
[[Image:KojinOnoPhoto.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The man with many names, all of which are the same.]]Romanizing a name isn't always easy.

Actual Japanese people can often have their names romanized in several ways, all of which are, by default, equally valid: For example, [[Kōjin Ōno]] (大野光仁 ''Ōno Kōjin'') can also be romanized as "Kojin Ohno" or "Kouzin Ono". Japanese people who frequently interact with the Western world may settle for an "official" version for simplicity's sake; in that case, insisting on using an alternate romanization would be considered pedantic and ignorant.

Since the vast majority of Transformers names used for the Japanese market are English or English-derived, romanizing them isn't particularly difficult— for example, [[Megatron (disambiguation)|Megatron]]'s Japanese name (メガトロン ''Megatoron'') is simply a transliteration of his Western name; the same applies to [[Thundercracker (disambiguation)|Thundercracker]] (サンダークラッカー ''Sandākurakkā''). Many characters whose names were changed for the Japanese market are still easy to decipher; for example, [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] traditionally becomes "Meister" (マイスター ''Maisutā''), [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] becomes Lambor (ランボル ''Ranboru''), and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] becomes Convoy (コンボイ ''Konboi'').

One problem is posed by the Japanese use of the plural, which doesn't use an "s"-suffix like it does in English. Thus, the Japanese name for the [[Transformers brand|overall brand]] is literally "Transformer" (トランスフォーマー ''Toransufōmā''). However, since Takara uses the spelling "Transformers" every time the name is rendered in English, the plural-"s" can be assumed to materialize in the transition from katakana to the Latin spelling in much the same way Optimus Prime's [[Combat Deck (G1)|trailer]] appears and disappears every time he transforms. This doesn't always apply, however; some English-derived names with a plural in it may in fact keep the "s"-suffix in their katakana spelling, such as ''[[Generations (disambiguation)|Generations]]'' (ジェネレーションズ ''Jenerēshonzu''), resulting in an inconsistent appearance in the combination "''Transformers: Generations''", where "Generations" uses the plural-"s" but "Transformers" doesn't.

[[Image:RMBTRijie.jpg|thumb|170px|right|Most likely on purpose.]]More complicated are names that are based on puns that work in Japanese but not in English. Any romanization of such a name is going to miss out on at least half of the pun. Notable examples would be ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' "[[Autorooper]]" (オートルーパー ''Autorūpā''), a ''portmanteau'' of "auto" (オート ''auto'') and "trooper" (トルーパー ''torūpā''), or the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Galaxy Force]]'' versions of [[Red Alert (Armada)|Red Alert]] (ファストエイド ''First Aid'') and his upgraded form "Cybertron Defense" Red Alert (ファストガンナー ''First Gunner'', though an equally valid, and more meaningful, romanization would have been ''Fast Gunner'').

Sometimes an official romanization may even be deliberately chosen to be distinct from the "obvious" one: The Japanese ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech]]'' toys of the Generation 1 [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] character, whose Japanese name (リジェ ''Rije'') references the original toy's vehicle mode (a ''Ligier'' racing car), had their names officially romanized as "Rijie". Considering the severe difference to the spelling of the car manufacturer's name, this is commonly assumed to be a willful decision rather than a case of "Engrish".

And then there are the names that are so bizarre to begin with that any romanization would have to be either extremely liberal in order to make sense, or end up nonsensical either way. The most well-known examples are [[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] (デスザラス ''Desuzarasu''; an unreleased Hasbro ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' figure of the character would have been named "Dessaras") and "[[Latolata]]" (ラートラータ ''Rātorāta''), although the Japanese names of ''Generation 1'' [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] (チャー ''Chā'', also "Cher", officially even rendered as "Chear" once) and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] (スプラング ''Supurangu''; either "Sprung" or "Sprang") and [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] (ボルター ''Borutā'', either "Vorter" or "Volter") are similarly wacky.

'''''Transformers Battle Circuit''''' is an [[Online game|online]] {{W|Adobe Flash|flash}} game, created to promote the [[Transformers: Classics|Classics]] toyline.

==Synopsis==
On Cybertron, the greatest Transformers of all time have gathered to participate in the toughest tournament competition in the Universe! The Autobots and Decepticons face off against one another, matching the powers of their armaments, in a series of one-on-one matches to determine who will be the champion.

|nonumbering=true
}}

==Gameplay==
The player either selects an Autobot or Decepticon from among the available line-up, then battles the sum total of warriors from the opposing faction, one after the other. Each match is shown as the two robots facing one another, their weapons firing towards one another. The lasers from both warriors' weapons meet in the middle-ground between them, and must be "pushed" to meet the opposing robot, without allowing it to reach the player's own warrior. The faster the player mashes the "left" and "right" arrow keys, the more their laser blasts edges towards the opponent. After each match, the player is awarded an amount of points based on how quickly they dispatched their opponent. The player has three "lives" to make it to the end of the tournament, and if victory is achieved, the game challenges you to play again to beat your high score.

Homage

2021-11-10T13:11:48Z

S222121-2:

[[File:Onegenerationshattered.jpg|right|upright=2.0|thumb|Everybody knows where this art [[:File:G1 1984 backofboxbattle.jpg|comes from]].]]
In fan terminology, an '''homage''' is a toy (or other depiction, such as the image at right) which is intentionally designed to resemble an earlier (usually [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]) toy/character/work, but which represents a separate entity. Noted examples of homages include [[Downshift (Energon)|''Energon'' Downshift]] (based on [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 Wheeljack]]) and [[Shockblast|''Energon'' Shockblast]] (based on [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]).

Sometimes, homages are given different names from their predecessors if the rights to the name are lost via [[trademark]] murkiness, or if the name has already been applied to a non-homage toy within the same series.

Conversely, in order to protect trademarked names, Hasbro and Takara continue to use the same names over and over again, often on very different toys or very different characters within the official fiction. Since use of the term "homage" within the fandom is almost exclusively in reference to visual similarities, these name reuses alone are not considered homages.

Notably, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] has given homages a new twist with "[[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] Emergency Green", a [[redeco]] of the original ''[[Diaclone]]''-based Ratchet toy in the color scheme of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and "[[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]] Protect Black", a dual homage to the color scheme of both the toy's ''Diaclone'' incarnation and the character's [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action movie incarnation]].

==Examples==
===Internal homages===
====Toys====
The following is an extremely non-exhaustive list of toys that visually reference older characters. Because characters that share a name are often given homage decoes, this list focuses on toys that do not also share a name. Generally speaking, only one example is given for any particular toyline. For information on other toys, see the relevant character page.

===Homages to external properties===
Not every reference in Transformers fiction is an homage to an older series or character; Transformers fiction references external brands as well. Such references often take the form of comic covers or interior panels that bear an intentional visual similarity to classic or well-known comics or films, though this is by no means a hard and fast rule. Below are some notable examples:

<center><gallery>
File:MarvelUK-002.jpg|[[Marvel Comics|Marvel UK]] started with an homage right with its [[The Transformers (issue)|second issue]], homaging the cover of EC Comics's [http://www.comics.org/issue/10134/cover/4/ ''Weird Science'' #16].

Homage

2021-11-10T13:11:27Z

S222121-2:

[[File:Onegenerationshattered.jpg|right|upright=2.0|thumb|Everybody knows where this art [[:File:G1 1984 backofboxbattle.jpg|comes from]].]]
In fan terminology, an '''homage''' is a toy (or other depiction, such as the image at right) which is intentionally designed to resemble an earlier (usually [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]) toy/character/work, but which represents a separate entity. Noted examples of homages include [[Downshift (Energon)|''Energon'' Downshift]] (based on [[Wheeljack (G1)|Generation 1 Wheeljack]]) and [[Shockblast|''Energon'' Shockblast]] (based on [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]).

Sometimes, homages are given different names from their predecessors if the rights to the name are lost via [[trademark]] murkiness, or if the name has already been applied to a non-homage toy within the same series.

Conversely, in order to protect trademarked names, Hasbro and Takara continue to use the same names over and over again, often on very different toys or very different characters within the official fiction. Since use of the term "homage" within the fandom is almost exclusively in reference to visual similarities, these name reuses alone are not considered homages.

Notably, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] has given homages a new twist with "[[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] Emergency Green", a [[redeco]] of the original ''[[Diaclone]]''-based Ratchet toy in the color scheme of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and "[[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]] Protect Black", a dual homage to the color scheme of both the toy's ''Diaclone'' incarnation and the character's [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action movie incarnation]].

==Examples==
===Internal homages===
====Toys====
The following is an extremely non-exhaustive list of toys that visually reference older characters. Because characters that share a name are often given homage decoes, this list focuses on toys that do not also share a name. Generally speaking, only one example is given for any particular toyline. For information on other toys, see the relevant character page.

File:Cybertronsmokescreentoy.jpg|''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)|Smokescreen]] is actually a ''double'' homage: While his deco is (obviously) based on ''[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], his robot mode, especially the colors of the helmet, is based on [[Action Master]] [[Rad (G1)|Rad]].

===Homages to external properties===
Not every reference in Transformers fiction is an homage to an older series or character; Transformers fiction references external brands as well. Such references often take the form of comic covers or interior panels that bear an intentional visual similarity to classic or well-known comics or films, though this is by no means a hard and fast rule. Below are some notable examples:

<center><gallery>
File:MarvelUK-002.jpg|[[Marvel Comics|Marvel UK]] started with an homage right with its [[The Transformers (issue)|second issue]], homaging the cover of EC Comics's [http://www.comics.org/issue/10134/cover/4/ ''Weird Science'' #16].
File:TransformersGhostbusters1.jpg|When there's something strange in... southern Peru...? [[Susan Hoffman]]'s assistants look a lot like The Real [[Ghostbusters]].

:''Strongarm is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[File:Strongarm_(RID).jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Next time on ''Rookie Blue''...]]
Cadet '''Strongarm''' sees a bright future in law enforcement ahead of her. She knows the regulations front-to-back, able to recall them by number with ease as needed (often to her teammates' chagrin). She is full of seemingly-boundless energy, and is more than willing to throw herself into dangerous situations in order to collar a target. Being assigned to work with [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], hero of the war with the Decepticons, is a sure sign that she's destined to go places! Maybe even all the way to [[Earth]]!

This enthusiasm for her job makes her a tenacious officer, but also difficult to work with. Bumblebee's rather loose command style doesn't quite gel with the cadet's by-the-rules approach, as she uses protocol to sometimes get around Bumblebee's orders. It also puts her directly at odds with [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]], a bot who breaks rules almost habitually and constantly thumbs his nose at authority. She's not terribly thrilled about working with convicted criminal [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] either, but at least he doesn't specifically try and pick fights with her like Sideswipe does.

Sometimes she works with the [[Mini-Con]]s [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] or [[Trickout]]. She can also combine with either the legendary war hero [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] to form [[Primestrong]], or with the rest of the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] to form [[Ultra Bee]].

[[File:RID-CybertronianBumblebeeStrongarm.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
Cadet Strongarm of the [[Cybertron Police]] {{storylink|Five Fugitives}} studied under [[Dropforge]] at the [[Kaon Police Academy]]; {{storylink|Get a Clue}} she was classmates and friends with [[Nightra]] before the latter's explusion for attempting to cheat on her exams. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} She was still a cadet when she was partnered with Bumblebee. She and her partner captured the criminal [[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} while patrolling Kaon City. {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} Unfortunately for Bumblebee, she then insisted that regulations meant she had to accompany him on a trip to [[Earth]] after [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] appeared to him in a series of visions. There they found that the prison ship ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' had crashed, scattering [[Decepticon]] prisoners over the nearby area. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}}

[[File:PilotPart1 Strongarm Cybertronian vehicle.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|[[Carmine Fanzone|Captain Fanzone]], eat your heart out]]
Adopting a local vehicular form, Strongarm joined the team in recapturing the escaped Decepticon [[Underbite]] before he could reach and devour nearby [[Crown City]]. The operation was a success, though she was unsure about the wisdom of allowing Sideswipe and [[Grimlock (RID 2015)|Grimlock]] to remain on the team. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 2)}}

Strongarm and Sideswipe continued having trouble working together, inadvertently resulting in Strongarm's comms being damaged. When the pair went sent on a mission to investigate fugitive signals, they split up, and Strongarm was captured by [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]], who tried to convince her that he intended to dwell peacefully on Earth. She was freed by Sideswipe and Russell, though Steeljaw got away. {{storylink|Trust Exercises}} Strongarm and the team managed to capture [[Bisk (RID)|Bisk]]. They later encountered [[Chop Shop (RID)|Chop Shop]] and were unprepared for the Decepticon's ability to split into component parts. When Strongarm attempted to tackle one of his components, it resulted in Chop Shop taking [[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] as a new right arm, however the team were eventually successful in rescuing the Mini-Con and capturing the Decepticon. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye (RID)|More than Meets the Eye}}

[[File:TrustExercises Strongarm points gun.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Strongarm uses her famous death stare.]]

Sideswipe and Strongarm continued to squabble — when they went to a [[Crown City Museum of Natural History and Sciences|museum]], Strongarm alternated between doing so and towing Grimlock on a trailer. Splitting up, the team was unable to capture [[Terrashock]] until Bumblebee came up with a way to hunt the Decepticon on his own terms. {{storylink|W.W.O.D.?}} Strongarm searched the ''Alchemor'' crash site again but only turned up a [[Decepticon Hunter]], which she was unable to get working despite Fixit's instructions. During the mission to protect the generator at the dam, she was forced to help Grimlock back to the scrapyard, and was unable to help hunt for [[Thunderhoof (RID)|Thunderhoof]]. {{storylink|As the Kospego Commands!}}

[[File:CollectEmAll Strongarm rulebook.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4|Strongarm/rule book, BFFs]]
Feeling homesick, Strongarm began breaking out in hives, as well as relying more and more on the rulebook, which irritated Sideswipe as they searched for the Decepticon [[Filch]]. After some encouragement from Bumblebee, Strongarm broke several rules as they captured Filch, though she later wrote the others up anyway. {{storylink|Collect 'Em All}} When Grimlock turned on the other Autobots and stole Underbite's stasis pod, Strongarm's first instinct was that Grimlock had been pretending to be good all along. She, Bumblebee and Sideswipe tracked him to [[Crown River Dam]], where they discovered that he had been under the control of [[Minitron]]. {{storylink|True Colors}}

After begging, Strongarm got her own solo mission, only to find that Bumblebee was following her. Despite several missteps, she managed to capture the Decepticon [[Springload (RID)|Springload]] with his help. {{storylink|Rumble in the Jungle}} Teamed with Bumblebee, Strongarm hunted [[Ped (RID)|Ped]] in subterranean tunnels, and was forced to help support part of Crown City when it was undermined by the Decepticon's digging. She later became trapped at the bottom of a pit during a later successful attempt to capture Ped. {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} When Bumblebee was regressed to immaturity thanks to [[Quillfire (RID)|Quillfire]]'s toxins, Strongarm saw the opportunity to test herself in a leadership role. After suffering a number of Bumblebee's pranks, she took Grimlock to go hunt Quillfire, only to have Bumblebee follow them. Following a jaunt on a carnival ride and Quillfire's incapacitation, Strongarm had Grimlock chain Bumblebee up until he recovered from the toxin. {{storylink|Adventures in Bumblebee-Sitting!}}

[[File:OutOfFocus Strongarm towing Grimlock.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5|Capture rampaging dinobots with the all new Strongarm:Dinobot hauler!]]
When [[Drift (RID)|Drift]] and [[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] came to Earth to collect the bounty on Bumblebee, Strongarm was captured by the Decepticon to use as a ransom along with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Hunting Season}} Strongarm and Sideswipe continued their bickering, even as the team hunted the [[Skunkticon]] gang led by [[Malodor]], hampering efforts at several points during the chase. {{storylink|Out of Focus}}

After discovering that Strongarm had been sneaking off the base, Sideswipe blackmailed her into doing undesirable jobs for him. After they tangled with Steeljaw's gang, Bumblebee revealed he already knew about Strongarm sneaking out, and Strongarm revealed she had been using a nearby carwash. {{storylink|Sideways (episode)|Sideways}} Strongarm joined Sideswipe, Russell, and Grimlock for a horror movie marathon; the three Autobots tried to scare Russell to no avail. Strongarm joined Bumblebee and the rest of the team for an excursion to a local cave network in pursuit of a Decepticon signal. They encountered [[Nightstrike]], who picked them off one by one and tried to drain their energon. Trapped in a cocoon, Strongarm was forced to hallucinate her worst fear—disgracing the Kaon police force. {{storylink|Even Robots Have Nightmares}}

Strongarm towed Grimlock to the Crown City subway system after Sideswipe went missing. She discovered that the mad scientist [[Vertebreak (RID)|Vertebreak]] had stolen Sideswipe's body, and she was forced to fight him. With Sideswipe's help, the other Autobots managed to incapacitate and recapture Vertebreak, and Strongarm challenged the repaired Sideswipe to a race home. {{storylink|Some Body, Any Body}} After Drift and Slipstream returned to Earth in pursuit of Jetstorm, Strongarm rolled out with the other Autobots to recapture Quillfire and Springload. {{storylink|One of Our Mini-Cons Is Missing}} After taking part in a training exercise against Sideswipe, Strongarm [[GroundBridge]]d to the ocean, where the Decepticon [[Octopunch (RID)|Octopunch]] was planning to steal an abandoned Cybertronian ship. Strongarm was taken out of the fight by an army of deployable Mini-Cons and locked in an empty room, where she couldn't contact her teammates. She managed to break out and escape before the ship self-destructed. {{storylink|Deep Trouble (RID)|Deep Trouble}}

[[File:BuzzOnWindblade Strongarm points.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
When the gladiator [[Groundpounder (RID)|Groundpounder]] and his cheating manager [[Headlock (RID)|Headlock]] debuted at the Crown City [[Rumbledome]], Strongarm and the other Autobots- minus Grimlock and Fixit- tried to GroundBridge into the city. Instead, they wound up in the Arctic, and then appeared outside the city limits, where they were held up by traffic while Grimlock fought Groundpounder. Strongarm arrived just in time to [[Stasis cuffs|stasis cuff]] the fleeing Headlock. {{storylink|The Champ}} Fixit's sentry programming asserted itself, causing Strongarm to be menaced by the scrapyard's various security systems. {{storylink|The Trouble with Fixit}} Strongarm helped set up a new rollercoaster that Denny purchased, but headed out with the team to investigate a Decepticon signal. The signal belonged to [[Kickback (RID)|Kickback]], who had been set up by Steeljaw as a distraction while the rest of his gang broke into the Autobot base and deactivated the other stasis pods. The Autobots managed to take back their territory and rout the Decepticons, and Strongarm helped to recontain Octopunch's tentacles. {{storylink|Lockout}}

The Autobots set out to capture [[Scowl (RID)|Scowl]], whom Grimlock had inadvertently befriended and set free. Strongarm helped to reroute a train that Scowl had derailed, then ran damage control at a local spa while Grimlock tried to recapture the vengeful Decepticon. {{storylink|Similarly Different}} Strongarm realized that many of the ''Alchemor'''s convicts were based off Earth animals, and began researching the dangers of Earth creatures. She was less than impressed by the newcomer [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] and was particularly irked by Windblade's cavalier attitude toward protocol. The disagreement boiled over when the Autobots set out in search of [[Zizza]], when Windblade revealed that she didn't care if humans were caught in the crossfire. The two Autobots eventually resolved their differences, and Strongarm's knowledge of Earth bees helped her bring in Zizza. {{storylink|The Buzz on Windblade}}

[[File:Battlegrounds2 Strongarm in armor.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Feeling homesick for Cybertron, Strongarm came along with the team on a "vacation" to [[Edmondville]]. Although the gang had fun scaring off a group of human tourists, things took a turn for the worse when they encountered [[Pseudo]], who locked Strongarm and the Mini-Cons in an old bank vault. Strongarm escaped by blasting a hole in the wall and tracked Pseudo to a nearby mine. After a brief chase, the Autobots managed to subdue the [[Shifter]].{{Storylink|Ghosts and Impostors}} On a training exercise with Sideswipe, both Autobots were ambushed by Decepticons; Strongarm managed to send a fragmentary transmission back to the base before she was captured by Fracture. The duo were later joined by Windblade, and all three of them were lashed to the [[Crown City Colossus]] while the Decepticons worked to summon [[The Fallen|Megatronus]]. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 1}} With their ranks bolstered by a revived Optimus Prime, the three Autobots were freed and joined in the fight. Although Optimus faltered in his fight against Megatronus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Strongarm were able to unlock the power of their Decepticon hunters and give themselves a power-up, allowing them to fire a sustained blast at Megatronus and vaporize him. With Steeljaw's gang almost entirely arrested, Strongarm opted to remain on Earth alongside her commander. {{storylink|Battlegrounds, Part 2}}

While listening to Optimus's old war stories, Strongarm got into yet another fight with Sideswipe. Following a GroundBridge explosion, she helped clear up and along with Bumblebee and Grimlock, was defeated by Overload when the Decepticon arrived at the scrapyard. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 1}} After tracking Overload to a parking lot, the team split up with Grimlock and Strongarm trying to track the Cyclone Mini-Cons. They soon realized they'd actually been tracking humans, but managed to maintain their cover. They caught up with Bumblebee in time to help take Overload back to base. {{storylink|Overloaded, Part 2}}

Missing the teamwork she had developed with Sideswipe, Strongarm attempted to establish a similar rapport with Grimlock, which mainly resulted in them bungling an attempt to capture [[Saberhorn]]. During the later fight at the steel mill, they were eventually able to work together enough to save Bumblebee from being melted down, though Saberhorn himself got away. {{storylink|Metal Meltdown}} When she accidentally endangered some motorists during the pursuit of [[Crazybolt (RID)|Crazybolt]] and [[Slicedice]], Strongarm became demoralized and turned in her Decepticon Hunter. After an attempt to get her to help Fixit backfired badly, she resigned herself to rusting in the corner, however a fire started by Crazybolt endangered some humans, and Bumblebee was able to spur her into returning to the field to save them. {{storylink|Suspended}}

Bumblebee, Strongarm, and Grimlock captured the Mini-Con [[Torpor]], though the mission was nearly botched when Grimlock stumbled in on the other two Autobots as they strategised, tipping their target off to their whereabouts. When Grimlock gained increased brainpower fom a [[Cybertronian data cylinder]], Strongarm and Bumblebee took him along on an attempt to capture [[Simacore]]. Though during the operation, she and Bumblebee were trapped against a particle accelerator and in danger of being particle collided, Fixit came up with a cure for Grimlock, and the Dinobot rescued them both. {{storylink|Brainpower}}

[[File:Misdirection-StrongarmvsSteeljaw.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

When a wounded Steeljaw turned up at the scrapyard, Bumblebee, Strongarm and Grimlock followed the trail of energon he'd left to a disused drive in. Following the arrival of [[Scorponok (WFC)|Scorponok]], Crazybolt and Slicedice, the Autobots discovered that Steeljaw had been feigning. Strongarm sped back to base where she confronted the Con, and though she was able to best him in combat and rescue Fixit, Denny and Russell, he managed to get away and had freed a bunch of prisoners. {{storylink|Misdirection}}

[[File:Impounded-Strongarmblasting.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

After weeks of hunting for leads to find the new group of Decepticons, Strongarm turned down the opportunity to stake out a [[Rear Axle]] concert in favor of brushing up on her regulations. When Bisk turned up at the concert, Bumblebee called her and Grimlock in as backup, however the pair were held up by traffic. {{storylink|Bumblebee's Night Off}} The Autobots tracked down the Decepticon [[Silverhound]] to a carnival, and engaged him in a nearby parking lot. After a brief struggle, during which Grimlock was tossed in the middle of a nearby crowd, Strongarm successfully captured the Alchemor escapee. She then covered for Grimlock, announcing on her speakers that he was part of an upcoming exhibit; "If Dinosaurs Could Talk." On their next mission, she and Bumblebee were stunned by Quillfire's quills and ended up in an impound lot, booted and dazed. Strongarm particularly objected to being held among "common criminals" in the lot. They had to be rescued by Denny and Russell, and with the help of Grimlock, now sporting a construction crane disguise for his dino mode, successfully captured Quillfire and his two new Mini-Con partners, [[Back]] and [[Forth]]. {{storylink|Impounded}}

After an incident with the GroundBridge brought [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] to Earth, Strongarm and Grimlock were knocked out by the Decepticon. They recovered, only to be warped away from the junkyard alongside [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] by a portal created by Soundwave. Working together, Strongarm and Grimlock were able to shut down Laserbeak, then rushed back to the rest of the team. They arrived just as Denny, Fixit, Russel, and Bumblebee managed to get Soundwave back into the [[shadowzone (dimension)|shadowzone]], and threw the Decepticon Mini-Con back into the other dimension after its master. {{storylink|Portals}} Strongarm was on a mission in an area that interfered with Fixit's communication equipment when Optimus Prime needed assistance defeating [[Stockade (RID)|Stockade]]'s troops. {{storylink|Graduation Exercises}}

[[File:DecepticonIslandpt2-strongarmcomputer.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

After a chance encounter resulted in [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] joining the team, the Autobots got a lead to the location of the remaining Decepticons on Earth; [[Toolbox]], recent escapee from "Decepticon Island." The Autobots disguised Grimlock as a Decepticon, and used a ruse wherein the rest of the team posed as captives to infiltrate the crashed ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]],'' base to the Decepticons. Despite making good headway at first, Strongarm and the others were discovered by the Decepticon higher ups after an argument between Bumblebee and Optimus caused the mission to stall out. The Autobots then found themselves completely surrounded by Steeljaw's troops. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}}

Thanks to Windblade providing them with an impromptu distraction, the rest of the Autobots managed to make a break for it and slipped away from the Decepticons. They then split up into smaller teams, with Strongarm, Grimlock, and Sideswipe being sent off to try and free the Mini-Cons being held captive. They ended up in a communications room where they encountered Groundpounder and Thunderhoof. By kicking him while he was in mid-air, Strongarm put Sideswipe outside the range of one of Thunderhoof's seismic stomps, allowing him to get to a nearby monitor and transmit a disabling frequency. Holding onto consciousness for seconds longer than the Decepticons could, Strongarm's team managed to best their opponents. After using the communications equipment to free the Mini-Cons, the trio escaped the ship before the [[cryo-gas]] set up by Bumblebee bomb froze everyone aboard.

In the aftermath of the battle, several Autobots opted to return to Cybertron, as the current Decepticon crisis had been dealt with. Strongarm decided to instead stay on Earth, and help Bumblebee set up a permanent base of operations to more properly meet any future threats that might come to the planet. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}} When news of the Bee Team's exploits reached Cybertron, Strongarm became one of the many Autobots blacklisted by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] for being a supporter of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Bumblebee took his team on a tour of interesting locations on Earth, culminating in them visiting the remains of [[Autobot Outpost Omega One]], only to find a strange bomb had been set up to detonate. Strongarm was paired with Grimlock when the team split up to search, only to have to leave him to go find Bumblebee after he stepped on a mine. On the way, she spotted that the bomb's explosion was imminent, and ended up having to alert Bumblebee to that fact as well. {{storylink|History Lessons}}

[[File:StrongarmsBigScore Strongarm post arrest.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
After a training exercise went awry, Strongarm was surprised to find she had the lowest of the [[PASERQuAT]] scores Fixit had prepared. She insisted on taking him on her next mission to improve her score, and as a result he accompanied her to [[Mount St. Hilary]], where the pair found [[Scatterspike (RID)|Scatterspike]] and [[Sawtooth (RID)|Sawtooth]] engaged in a drilling operation that threatened to cause the volcano to erupt. After capturing Scatterspike in a fight that spilled out into a nearby [[Star Visitor Estates|human settlement]], Strongarm successfully prevented the volcano from exploding, and Fixit raised her score by a point and a half. In return, she prepared a score for him, but wouldn't tell him what it was. {{storylink|Strongarm's Big Score}}

Drift and Strongarm checked out the Great Wall of China as the searching of Cybertronian sites continued. When they later joined Grimlock after the Dinobot encountered Thermidor and Tricerashot, Strongarm joined in the pursuit, however her attempt to cooperate with Sideswipe ended up with them both crashing. {{storylink|Pretzel Logic}}

Team Bee retrieved a [[high energy pulse generator]] from [[Egypt]], only to have to destroy it when it threatened to fry their brains. Following an invasion of the scrapyard by the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, the team lost both their own Mini-Cons and their leader, after they were abducted by [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Mighty Big Trouble}} Joined by Optimus, the team split up to search for Starscream. Sideswipe and Strongarm stumbled on the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, and the initial hostilities were brought to an end when the Mini-Cons recognized the Prime. A short time later, they ran into the Scavengers, and during the fight, Strongarm linked with Sawtooth to great effect, until the Weaponizer Mini-Cons were captured by Starscream. {{storylink|Mini-Con Madness (RID)|Mini-Con Madness}} The Scavengers defeated, Strongarm and the rest of the team located Starscream's ship, and during the ensuing battle with the Decepticons, they were knocked out by Starscream. They eventually managed to defeat Starscream, despite him successfully merging with the Weaponizer Mini-Cons, by dragging him down into range of Fixit's signal so he could be de-merged. After farewelling Optimus and the Mini-Cons, Team Bee split up to search more Cybertronian sites. {{storylink|Worthy}}

[[File:KingOfTheHill2 Strongarm reigns in Sideswipe.jpg|right|thumb|260px]]
After a period of downtime, Strongarm and Sideswipe were sent to investigate a Decepticon signal. After attempting to capture [[Heatseeker]] themselves, Strongarm opted to call in the rest of the team when the [[Stunticon (Prime)|Stunticon]] endangered a nuclear waste disposal site. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 1)}} The pair were assigned the task of getting a [[hermit]] to vacate the danger zone, which they accomplished before rejoining the rest of the team. An explosion resulted in the entire team being merged into [[Ultra Bee|one robot]] while unconscious and ultimately Heatseeker got away. {{storylink|King of the Hill (Part 2)}}

The Autobots' next mission took them to [[Antarctica]], where they had to recapture [[Crustacion]] after the Decepticon was freed from one of Windblade's caches. Strongarm and Sideswipe worked to rescue the humans at a base while the rest of the team caught the Con. {{Storylink|Defrosted}} When a stricken plane endangered another cache, the team were joined by [[Rescue Bot]] [[Blurr (Prime)|Blurr]], whose personality was a little too similar to Sideswipe's for Strongarm's linking. The team had to track down [[Ragebyte]] and ensure he didn't blow up [[Crown City Bridge]]. {{storylink|Blurred}}

Strongarm, along with the rest of the team, found herself unable to resist the [[Sphere of Doradus]] thanks to the energies it was giving off. The team were eventually able to resist its effects long enough to capture Springload. {{storylink|Sphere of Influence}} She and Bumblebee went to retrieve a Decepticon Hunter from one of Windblade's caches, only to have to call in the rest of the team when they encountered [[Dragstrip (WFC)|Drag Strip]] and [[Wildbreak]]. {{storylink|Bee Cool}}

[[File:TRID S3 E8 GAC MSS.jpg|left|thumb|300px]]
After a methane explosion occurred during an attempt to capture Drag Strip, the team found themselves merged into one robot. In the aftermath, they ended up with two Sideswipes, something Strongarm had had nightmares about, and she ended up having to work with them as the team retrieved the relic Drag Strip had stolen. {{storylink|The Great Divide}} Strongarm drew on Dropforge's teachings in order to solve the mystery of some Decepticon burglaries, which led the Autobots to catch [[Boostwing]]. She wasn't quite satisfied with the resolution to the case, which led her and Russell to track down Boostwing's brothers [[Pilfer]] and [[Jacknab]], who had also been stealing things in Crown City. {{storylink|Get a Clue}}

When Drift's old mentor [[Shadow Raker]] showed up on Earth, Strongarm and the team helped Drift recover his Mini-Con students after the Decepticon kidnapped them. {{storylink|Out of the Shadows}} Another of Fixit's combiner experiments led to the Autobots temporarily switching bodies. Strongarm was thrilled to be Bumblebee, and even more so when she was put in charge of the subsequent road race mission to defeat the Stunticons, though she found she had difficulty getting the rest of the team to follow her orders. {{storylink|Disordered Personalities}}

When Nightra turned up, Strongarm bought her story about being a bounty hunter on the run from a Con she'd previously caught, and when the Con in question abducted Nightra, Strongarm brought the rest of the Bee Team to rescue her. Unfortunately it turned out the "Con" was actually the Autobot bounty hunter [[Blastwave]] and Strongarm had to arrest her former friend as a criminal. {{storylink|Guilty As Charged}} Strongarm had to put up with Grimlock becoming an artist and making terrible sculptures of her. {{storylink|The Golden Knight}}

[[File:RiD2015 - Combine and Conquer - Reaction Faces.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Discussion subject: following Da Rulz.]]
Grimlock developed super speed as the result of one of Fixit's experiments, forcing the team to have to deal with him at the same time as they fought Simacore and his army of [[Mini-Clone|cloned Mini-Cons]]. {{storylink|The Fastest Bot Alive!}} During a mission to prevent the Stunticons from stealing the power source of a maglev train, Strongarm lost her Decepticon Hunter — part of a series of thefts of the weapons by some mysterious Mini-Cons. {{storylink|Railroad Rage}}

Strongarm was initially overjoyed when Bumblebee announced new strict discipline as they hunted the Stunticons, however it soon became apparent he was being too strict even for her, and she had to talk him into toning it down. The team managed to combine into their Ultra Bee form without the aid of Fixit's equipment and fought Menasor. {{storylink|Combine and Conquer}} When Optimus visited to recruit Drift for a mission, Strongarm and Sideswipe started competing to prove they were worthy of going instead. A call from Windblade sent the team to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], where they succeeded in preventing the Stunticons from accessing a cache, and defeated the Decepticon team once and for all. Optimus later told the pair he didn't want to deprive Bumblebee of their skills. {{storylink|Moon Breaker}}

A sudden assault on the scrapyard, forced the Autobots to abandon base and hole up in the nearby caves. They tracked the Decepticon culprits to the Crown River Dam and discovered Steeljaw and his pack were back to make problems for them. {{storylink|Exiles}} When Sideswipe left the cave despite Bumblebee's orders to stay put, Strongarm gave chase and the pair were trapped in a cargo container together by Clampdown. They eventually managed to get free and help Bumblebee, whom the 'Cons had also captured, get some payback on their captors. {{storylink|Breathing Room}}

[[File:FreedomFighters Strongarm salutes.jpg|thumb|left|270px]]
The team tangled with the Decepticons again, this time interrupting them while they were trying to steal nuclear waste. {{storylink|Prepare for Departure}} Strongarm found herself having trouble reconciling adhering to the [[Kaon Conventions]] with the need to capture Steeljaw's pack, and ended up hauling Clampdown around handcuffed to herself.

Strongarm and Grimlock checked on a stasis pod, only to find it empty. After they tracked the Decepticon fruitlessly for some time, Bumblebee arrived to point them in the direction of the [[Fun-A-Rama]] amusement park, where the team found and captured [[Flamefeather (RID)|Flamefeather]]. {{storylink|Fire, When Ready!}} During a training exercise, Strongarm mainly squabbled Sideswipe, resulting in the team's defeat. The pair were sent to investigate activity, but proved unable to capture [[Spinhead]] and had to return to the scrapyard empty handed. Fortunately Bumblebee came up with a plan and the whole team managed to defeat the Decepticon. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 1|Robots in Disguise #1}}

Unfortunately Overhead was the real sect leader, and overpowered Strongarm before escaping. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 3|Robots in Disguise #3}}

Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus making up took longer than Strongarm had expected, but the Autobots soon made amends and, through her Croctobot lackeys, tracked Overhead to an abandoned petrosynthesis chemical plant.

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Strongarm and the rest of Team Bee were lured to [[Fort Tucker]] as a distraction while Steeljaw and [[Steve (Vehicon)|Steve]] abducted Fixit and Russell from the scrapyard. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 5|Robots in Disguise #5}} Returning to base, the team found empty stasis pods and the computer trashed, and were forced to resort to their own wits to work out where Steeljaw was. They to successfully located the cave in question, rescuing Fixit and Russell before engaging Steeljaw's crew. Strongarm managed to deal Thunderhoof a decent blow before she was hit by a Vehicon. Eventually the three Vehicons realized that Steeljaw was not part of Megatron's command, and in the aftermath Team Bee was left with the majority of Steeljaw's team as prisoners. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise issue 6|Robots in Disguise #6}}

After the team captured [[Forager]] who appeared to rescue Drift, throwing doubt on the Autobot's motives, Strongarm played it cautiously, worried that Drift would team up with the Decepticons. She and the rest of the team were captured a short time later when [[Foxtrot]] and [[Stilts]] took over the scrapyard and put the team in stasis pods. The team was eventually freed with Drift's help, and turned the tables on the Decepticons. {{storylink|Drift's Samurai Showdown}}

Bumblebee attempted to get Strongarm to loosen up by joining the others in a game of football. She and the rest of the team took on [[Skinkbomb]], only to find the Decepticon's explosives formidable, and the fight was lost when Bumblebee became distracted.

'''Big Convoy and the new Maximal recruits investigate the disappearance of Lio Convoy as well as the powerful new Angolmois Capsules, scattered across the galaxy!'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Bwneo1 bigconvoy dreamwave.jpg|left|thumb|215px|Oh no! Monkey knocked over the candle!]]
On a distant planet, a team of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] wage war against a seemingly unstoppable [[Maximal]] warrior. The warrior breaks into the Predacon stronghold and faces off against the Predacon commander, [[Magmatron]]. The warrior turns out to be the legendary "One-Man Army", [[Big Convoy]]. The two opponents have a go at it and Big Convoy walks away the victor after using his ultimate attack, the Big Cannon.

A long time later, Big Convoy is out in space one day when he called back to camp by orders of [[Primus#Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Vector Sigma]]. Once he arrives he is greeted by the [[Convoy Council]] who inform him that he is to be the instructor of a team of new recruits. Being a loner, Big Convoy immediately rejects the idea but is then informed he has no choice, as it is the direct order of Vector Sigma. Bitter, Big Convoy reluctantly accepts.

[[File:Bwneo1 maximals assembled.jpg|right|215px|thumb|'Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin...']]
On the Maximal spaceship, the ''[[Gung Ho]]'', the new recruits introduce themselves: [[Break]], the hot-headed penguin; [[Stampy (BW)|Stampy]], the cowardly bunny rabbit; [[Colada]], the foul-mouthed and violent cobra; [[Longrack (BW)|Longrack]], the mature-beyond-his-years giraffe; and [[Heinrad (BW)|Heinrad]], the easy-going tanuki. After introducing themselves, Break devises a plan to test their new commander's skill in combat. Break suggests that they all hide and spring a surprise attack on Big Convoy once he enters, much to Longrack's disapproval. The plan does not go well, as Big Convoy effortlessly defeats each of them, except Stampy, who gives up immediately.

Big Convoy then informs them that their first training mission will be to investigate the disappearance of [[Lio Convoy]] and his troops on planet [[Gaia]] a few years ago, and the massive explosion reported at the same time. [[NAVI (Gung Ho)|NAVI]], the on-board computer, warps the ''Gung Ho'' to their destination. They arrive in a field of asteroids, bewildered at the amount of destruction inflicted upon the planet. Big Convoy wastes no time in appointing Longrack as sub-commander of the team and sends them to investigate Gaia's surface.

[[File:Bwneo1 predacons.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Ask ANY of them if they're Barney's friends. We DARE ya.]]
Upon touchdown they are greeted by Magmatron and his troops: [[Guiledart]], the second in command who transforms into a ''Triceratops''; [[Saberback]], the mystic who transforms into a ''Stegosaurus''; [[Sling (BW)|Sling]], the idiotic ''Dimetrodon''; and [[Dead End (BW)|Dead End]], the quiet and psychotic ammonite. Stampy wastes no time in getting taken hostage while the rest get pummeled. Big Convoy shows up just in the nick of time to prevent the recruits from retreating by...''shooting at them'' and corralling them back toward the enemy (holy crap!). Using his secret attack, the Time Freeze, Heinrad manages to rescue Stampy (though the attack only lasts 30 seconds and drains all of his energy). Big Convoy sends Magmatron packing with his Big Cannon and the rest of the Predacon warriors follow suit by teleporting back to their ship, the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]''. Using the [[Energon Matrix|Matrix]] to speak through Big Convoy, Vector Sigma informs the recruits never to give up hope and "All for one and one for all".

[[File:Bwneo1 lioconvoy.jpg|right|215px|thumb|[[Divided Views|What the-?!]]]]
Inspecting the ruins of the old Maximal ship, they happen upon the black box. Taking it on board with them, they play the message. Lio Convoy recounts the last events of his war. He and his Maximals battled [[Galvatron (BW)|Galvatron]] and the Predacons who had used the artificial planet [[Nemesis (BW)|Nemesis]] to drain Gaia of its [[Angolmois Energy]]—the most powerful energy in the universe. As a last ditch effort, Lio Convoy caused Nemesis to self-destruct, resulting in the Angolmois Energy being sealed in capsules and scattered all across the galaxy. The message ends and their mission is clear, Big Convoy commands NAVI to enter warp-speed so they can go hunt down the Angolmois Capsules. Back on the ''Dinosaur'', [[DNAVI]] (the Predacon onboard computer) berates the warriors over their failure in battle. Magmatron commands the ship to follow the Maximals, as they too are after the Angolmois Capsules.

==Notes==
===Continuity errors===
*Oddly, the Maximals do not encounter, attempt to track down, or even make mention of the various other Maximals and Predacons left behind on Gaia after the destruction of Nemesis. The stragglers consist of the [[Insectron]]s, the [[Jointron]]s, and the [[Autoroller (BW)|Autoroller]]s. The fate of these characters won't be touched upon until the last episode, "[[Graduation Ceremony!!]]", where they are all seen back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] with no explanation as to how they got there.

Axalon (BW)

2021-09-25T03:28:03Z

S222121-2: /* 2021 IDW Beast Wars comic */

{{factions|maximal|autobot|onyxprime}}
{{disambig3|Axalon}}
:''The ''Axalon'' is a spaceship from the [[Beast Era]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Axalon1.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me.]]
The '''''Axalon''''' is a [[Maximal]] exploration vessel whose mission was to explore and survey uninhabited worlds, seeding them with [[stasis pod]]s so that those Transformers within could adopt the appearance of local lifeforms and conduct research undisturbed. However, it was called upon to intercept and pursue a stolen [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] starship, and was subsequently never heard from again by its superiors.

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
====''Beast Wars'' cartoon====
[[File:DeathoftheAxalon.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|It's just like the Titanic... FROM SPACE.]]
When [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s band of Predacon criminals stole the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] and escaped in [[Darksyde (BW)|their ship]], the Maximal science vessel ''Axalon'' was the only vessel close enough with the [[unspace|Transwarp]] engines needed to pursue him.

[[File:Axalon chase.jpg|left|thumb|Chicken, Maximal style]]
The crew of the ''Axalon'' at the start of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]] appears to have been newly assembled and the captain, [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]], was new to command.

The ''Axalon'' engaged the Predacon warship in battle as soon as both starships came out of transwarp, chasing it to a primitive world that would later be revealed as [[Earth]]. Outgunned, the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s engines were severely damaged and it was slowly dragged towards the surface by the planet's gravitational pull. Realizing their ship would not survive, their cargo of stasis pods were launched into safe orbit from the rear docking bay. Despite this grim setback, Optimus Primal was not willing to allow their enemies to escape, and so he ordered the forward plasma cannon to be fired. Landing a well-targeted shot that crippled the Predacon vessel, both ships soon crash-landed. {{storylink|Beast Wars (Part 1)}}

[[File:Axalon crash.jpg|left|thumb|Just a few dents, it's still good, it's still good!]]
After crashing on Earth, the ''Axalon'' became the Maximals' base of operations. Unlike the Predacon ship, it was still flight worthy (although only just), allowing the Maximals to repair it with salvaged parts when it seemed that the Predacons had destroyed themselves in an energon explosion. Unfortunately, the Predacons had merely faked their destruction to try and commandeer the repaired Maximal ship, and subsequently attacked the ''Axalon'' as it was preparing to take off. Although the bulk of the villains were defeated and the ship was able to take to the air, Megatron was able to board and jab his tail weapon into a key console, destroying the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s transwarp drive and sending it back to the ground. The ship and its occupants landed in one piece thanks to Optimus' last-minute intervention, but the ''Axalon'' would never fly again. {{Storylink|Victory (episode)|Victory}}

After Megatron's attempt to alter history, it was further destroyed by Predacon forces, as [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] and some of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]'s [[Arachnoid|spider drones]] pulled it off the cliff that it was straddling. The ship's forward quarter, including the command center, split off and fell first, landing on dry land. The remainder, including its drives and primary computer center, fell afterward and sank into the lake, finally destroying the ''Axalon''. The remains of the command center were salvaged to help fortify the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] against Predacon attack. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}} Rattrap would later undertake a dangerous mission below the lake's surface to salvage the [[Sentinel (BW)|Sentinel]] shield control module; during the mission, an underwater battle between Rampage and Depth Charge sent the ship's remains plummeting even further into the lake's depths. {{Storylink|Changing of the Guard}}

As the Maximals packed up their stuff for leaving Earth, they were hauling many large crates, some of which had pieces of the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s command center dangling out from them. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 2}}

====3H comics====
[[File:PrimevalDawn-Axalon.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|4 million years later, the Autobots wonder who built them a dollhouse.]]
Following the Maximals' evacuation of Earth, the [[Vok]] returned, intent on putting a stop to [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] and his plans. At this point in time, both the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> salvaged bridge and the rest of the wrecked, sunken ship remained exactly where they had been abandoned. {{storylink|Primeval Dawn Part 1}}
{{-}}

====''Timelines''====
[[File:DOFP-Axalon.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|A three-hour tour.]]
Before leaving in earnest for its stated mission of interplanetary exploration, the ''Axalon'' was parked at a [[Maximal space station]] for a few weeks while it picked up its [[Rampage (BW)|secret cargo]]. Finally, its impatient crew were able to leave, but subsequently were contacted by [[Maximal Defense Command Center]] about a [[Darksyde (BW)|rogue ship]] of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s in their area who had stolen the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]]. The ''Axalon'' was ordered to pursue it.

A spectacular battle followed between the ''Axalon'', the Predacon ship, [[Buzzsaw and Laserbeak's ship|another mysterious Predacon ship]], and the ''[[Chromia 10]].'' The latter two ships were destroyed, and the former two ships flew through a [[unspace|transwarp]] portal. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}
{{-}}

===''Beast Wars Metals'' manga===
The ''Axalon'' was badly damaged during a space battle with the Predacons and left floating in the orbit of [[Earth|Energoa]]. It eventually crashed into the ocean when [[Rampage (BW)|Protoform X]] broke free. Using the ship's still-active armaments, the Maximals blasted Rampage into space. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 2|Beast Wars Metals #2}}

===''Beast Machines'' toy bios===
The [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]] [[Airraptor]] served aboard the ''Axalon'' as interplanetary surveyor and navigator. {{storylink|Airraptor|Airraptor's bio}}

===''United''===
Fear blossomed as the news of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s return spread. [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and his crew tried valiantly to battle his new "Ark Unicron" form, but they were quickly defeated. In their darkest hour, the ''Axalon'' started glowing blue and revealed a previously unknown power: transforming into a super robot lifeform. Born again with a new living spark of its own, this powerful ally gave the Autobot army a hope of finally defeating Unicron. {{storylink|Axalon (BW)#United|Axalon bio}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:StrangeVisitors-Axalon.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|"''Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip''."]]

Twenty thousand years ago, [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] sent the ''Axalon'' away from [[Antilla]], entrusting its captain [[Domitius Major]] and his crew of [[Maximal]]s with the alien artifact known as the "[[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]]." {{storylink|Strange Visitors}} {{storylink|Our Finest}}

The ''Axalon'' travelled through space for ten thousand years before dwindling supplies of [[energon]] sent their vessel off-course in the hopes of refueling. Drawn to [[Earth]] by its supplies of [[Ore-13]], the ship arrived in orbit, where it intercepted [[Autobot]] transmissions, bounced off of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]]'s nearby ship. To protect his experiment, the scientist shot down the Maximals, the ''Axalon'' falling into what would become [[Brasnya]], with the crash somehow activating the Talisman and scrambling the crew's memories. When Shockwave entered the ruined ship, he found one of the crew, [[Centurion (IDW)|Centurion]], watching the Autobot transmission and believing himself to be [[Bumblebee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Bumblebee]], inspiring the Decepticon to conduct a [[Ice Age Wars|novel]] [[Hearts of Steel|experiment]]. While the Maximals fought, the ''Axalon'' itself was left to be buried by the ice and snow, forgotten by all. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}}

Though the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mission had ostensibly been to retrieve the [[Enigma of Combination]], Onyx Prime was, in fact, a ''future'' version of Shockwave who had been sent back in time and was playing the long game, having sent the ''Axalon'' to Earth both so that the time loop could be completed (or started) and so that the Talisman could be safely stored on Earth. {{storylink|Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook issue 1|Centurion profile}} {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} {{storylink|Our Finest}}

By [[1944]], [[Centurion (IDW)|Centurion]] was the last survivor of the ''Axalon'', the horrors of [[World War I]] and [[World War II|II]] having allowed him to break through Shockwave's reprogramming. After he'd killed "[[Maximal Shockwave|Shockwave]]", he attempted to return to the ''Axalon'' so he could die, aided by [[Sgt. Savage]] and [[Merklynn|Garrison Kreiger]]. When the trio breached the frozen ship, the Talisman had vanished and its robotic spawns, the [[IRON Trooper]]s, had puppeteered the corpse of Domitius Major, engaging Centurion in battle. Though the Troopers were ultimately defeated, the residual Talisman energy within the ship activated causing the ''Axalon'', and its occupant [[Sgt. Savage]], to vanish. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}}

Over the following decades, Kreiger established a base for himself beneath the crater of the ''Axalon'', which would come to be known as the "[[Project Ice Man]]" facility. In [[1994]], Kreiger, aided by [[Atomic Man]], would activate the Talisman once again, its energies causing the ''Axalon'' and its passenger to rematerialize, though what became of the ship following this is unknown. {{storylink|When Eagles Scream}}

===2021 IDW ''Beast Wars'' comic===
A lightly armed exploration vessel, the ''Axalon'', despite being equipped with a [[Transwarp Drive]], was limited only to regular space travel. On a routine [[protoform]] delivery mission to [[H'nkshanaar-4]] however, the ''Axalon'' was tasked to intercept the warship ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]'', stolen by Predacon separatists. Unable to engage the ''Darksyde'' on equal footing, the ''Axalon'' instead locked onto the stolen craft's Transwarp Drive, following it through time. Emerging from unspace, the ''Axalon'' sustained further damage prompting [[Nyx]] to simply ram the ship into the ''Darksyde'' but this left the ''Axalon'' unable to escape the gravity field of the nearby planet, though it managed to eject its cargo of [[stasis pod]]s. Crashing in a valley, the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s onboard computer rebooted and reconstructed its crew with [[beast mode]]s to protect them from the high levels of [[energon radiation]] on the planet. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 1}}

The Maximals went to work repairing their craft, sending Nyx to scout the surrounding area. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 2}} When she later failed to return, the Maximals began establishing a link to the orbiting stasis pods to try and expand their sensor range. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 3}} When they succeeded in doing so, they found a wounded Nyx who had joined up with the defected Dinobot. Surrendering, the Predacon asked to join the Maximals. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 4}}

With its crew having had no time to repair the shields during their night of expanding the sensors, the ''Axalon'' was left vulnerable to a direct attack from the Predacons. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 5}} When Tarantulas managed to breach the ''Axalon'', he made for the science lab only to encounter Rattrap operating a [[cargo-loading exoskeleton]] and tossed him out of the ship. Rattrap then managed to complete the repairs on the force field only for it to eject Dinobot with the other Predacons. When the hostiles turned on Dinobot, Primal had the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cannons scare off the Predacons. Bringing Dinobot back into the ''Axalon'', the Maximals healed him and welcomed him into their crew. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 6}}

With the force field fully online, the Maximals enjoyed some down time while getting to know Dinobot. This complacency left them unawares when the recently activated [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], her spark still reading as a Maximal's, was able to walk directly into the ''Axalon'' whereupon her [[shell program]] activated. {{storylink|Pod Part 1}}

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon===
The ''Axalon'' {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} had a crew of over 200 Maximals, though after crashing onto Earth in the past and engaging in a conflict with the time-displaced Predacons, only [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]], [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]], [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]], [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], and [[Tigatron]] survived {{storylink|Kingdom episode 2}} by the time the Autobot ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' and Decepticon ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' crashed on the planet. Damaged beyond the ability to fly and return to Cybertron, Optimus Primal and Rhinox checked the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s energon reserves in hopes of repairing the ''Axalon'', though it was not enough. Primal then sought to salvage the ''Ark'', though the Maximals soon after allied with the Autobots, {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} and later left for Cybertron aboard the repaired ''Ark''. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 5}}

:Axalon is a gray and red [[redeco]] of [[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|''Energon'']] [[Sharkticon (Energon)#Energon|Sharkticon]], using all of the original paint operations, but in different colors. Axalon transforms into a Cybertronic submarine/battleship with dimly animalistic styling. His small gun turrets are movable, plus his side panels can extend outward to reveal spring-loaded missile launchers. He has two "dead" Mini-Con ports, one on each forearm. The [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]'s stylings were inspired by the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] Decepticon starship ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''.

:The mold was [[redeco]]ed into the ''[[Transformers Timelines (franchise)|Timelines]]'' [[Sharkticon (species)#Timelines|Sharkticons]] and [[retool]]ed into ''Timelines'' [[Sky-Byte (RID)#Timelines|Sky-Byte]].

:Like the 5th and 6th wave figures, Axalon's package feature a sticker that said "limited quantity (数量限定)", indicating that this figure is released in limited numbers after its first and only shipment.

==Notes==
[[File:Ceti-Alpha-Seven.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|We don't know if it just has way bigger chairs inside or what.]]
*The ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main plasma cannons were used twice in the series: during the battle with the ''Darksyde'' (the guns that dealt the crippling blow to the Predacon ship) and once more during "[[Call of the Wild]]" as backup when the topside [[autogun]] was destroyed.
*In a running gag, the glass of the ship's elevator doors is shattered multiple times over the course of the series, usually by the Maximals.
*A very similar starship, possibly ''Axalon''-class or meant to evoke it, was used in the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon]] by an Autobot who would eventually be reprogrammed into [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], as seen in "[[The Decepticons]]".
*Another starship of the ''Axalon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s class was used by [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s team in the ''[[Transformers Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' story "[[Descent into Evil]]".
*[[Jetfire (Movie)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' Jetfire]]'s Cybertronian form in ''[[Transformers: Defiance|Defiance]]'' has a more-than passing resemblance to the ''Axalon''.
*A ship strongly resembling the ''Axalon'' can be briefly seen parked in a hangar near the end of the ''[[Transformers: Power of the Primes (cartoon)|Power of the Primes]]'' episode "[[Saga's End]]".

'''Stampy''' (スタンピー ''Sutanpī'') is young, cute and... well, not the bravest Transformer around. In fact, he's a huge coward, which greatly frustrates his teammates. When he's not scared slagless at the thought of his next mission, this rabbit Transformer is quite cheerful and well liked, which makes others eager to help him overcome his fears.

Despite his youth and cowardice, he's an excellent scout. His innate speed and extremely sensitive ears make him perfect for gathering intelligence and getting the info (and himself) back to base in one piece (the way he most definitely prefers it). And if worse comes to worse, he can always transform into his "Scissor Mode" to slice opponents with his diamond-sharp blades... though that really only works if he's being carried by someone else, limiting the mode's usefulness.<ref>Depiction in the ''Beast Wars Neo'' anime</ref>

Stampy is a part of a whole sub-race of rabbit Transformers. He loves [[Kitte Shūshū|his mother]] very much and carries her picture around with him in a locket. (What a mama's boy.) His favorite food is [[Carrot|space carrots]]. Their planet was first colonized by [[Tasmania Kid]]. All other members of Stampy's race wear clothes, but he doesn't. {{storylink|The 5 Rookies}}

While on a search for the [[Angolmois Energy|Angolmois]] Capsules, he fell in love with a jellyfish Transformer named Queen [[Rage (BWN)|Rage]]. Although his duties forced him to leave her, he promised to return. {{storylink|To Jellyfish with Love! Cry Out, Stampy Blade}} {{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Return to Zero}}}}

After his adventures under Big Convoy, Stampy went on to become an officer in the Cybertronian army. He continued to send part of his wages back home to his mother. {{storylink|What Became of the Five....}}

====''TransTech''====
Stampy's parents were [[Kitte Shūshū]] and [[Z Grill]], both avid stamp collectors. According to his mother, Stampy was a good son, always finding time to write despite being on an important mission involving the collection of energy capsules. {{storylink|Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter}}

Stampy was part of the coalition army that fought back the [[Quintesson]] invasion of the recently reformatted [[technorganic]] [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He and [[Slapper (RID)|Slapper]] leapt onto an escaping dropship and planted bombs on it, leaping to safety before the bombs exploded and brought the ship back down to the surface. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

One year later, Stampy was part of the crowd of Maximals that had gathered to welcome the returning [[Autobot]]s to Cybertron. [[Rook (Universe)|Rook]] all but shoved him out of the way to get close for an interview with the returning heroes. {{storylink|Abduction}}

[[File:BWAscendStampyCybertronMode.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|"Ha! You kill me, little buddy." "Only if we're taken alive, Sam."]]
Stampy was part of [[Big Convoy]]'s unit and survived many battles under him. [[Lio Convoy]] would later recognize his potential and inducted him into the [[Pack]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #4}} He would be officially last seen at [[Varus-5]]. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

Stampy later traveled with the Pack to prehistoric [[Earth]] to rescue [[Razorbeast]] and company. He was very eager to get down there and try out his new rabbit beast form. This "bounding" exuberance, quite predictably, got on [[Longrack (BWN)|Longrack]]'s nerves. When they reached their destination and took on the Predacons, Stampy was seen to handle [[Manta Ray (BW)|Manta Ray]] and [[Scavenger (BW)|Scavenger]] quite handily. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 2|The Ascending #2}}

[[File:BWAscendBreakStampyGunMode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|"Max, where should I put this so it doesn't hurt anyone we know or care about?" "Out the window, Sam. There's nothing but strangers out there."]]
After trouncing [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] as well, Stampy acted as a cheerleader of sorts when the Pack joined with the other Earthbound Maximals in
restraining the Angolmois-infected Razorbeast. He later eagerly asked Lio Convoy what he should do when the Pack's commander was giving out orders. Lio simply ignored him. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 3|The Ascending #3}}

When he returned to Cybertron to help battle [[Shokaract]], his tail caught fire as he escaped from the wreckage of the Pack's downed transwarp cruiser. During the fight with Shokaract, he transformed into his [[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]] mode and was wielded by Longrack. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 4|The Ascending #4}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
[[File:SinsoftheWreckers2 thieving rabbit.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|"STOP HIM SAM, HE'S GONNA TELL US A STORY!"]]
After the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] ended, Stampy joined [[Mayhem Attack Squad|Mayhem]], a pan-factional anarchist cell led by [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]] that sought to expose the hidden crimes of both the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s and bring down the leaders of both factions. In order to further their mission, the team received a benefactor in the form of the mad scientist [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], who used the team to test his [[Size changing|mass-shifting]] [[Chimeracon]] bodies, capable of disguising their own [[spark]] signatures. In exchange for this incredible upgrade, Tarantulas asked the team to relocate to [[Earth]] and abduct the disgraced Autobot [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]]. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}}

In his Arctic hare form, Stampy spied on [[Verity Carlo]] {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 1|Sins of the Wreckers #1}} and stole her copy of the [[Aequitas]] data as soon as he had an opening, fleeing back to his comrade-turned-HQ [[Tidal Wave (G1)|Tidal Wave]]. He was pursued by [[Stakeout (G1)|Stakeout]] and the Mayhem had to engage the [[Wrecker]]s {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 2|Sins of the Wreckers #2}} before Carnivac sounded a retreat. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}} Back inside the [[Noisemaze]], Stampy watched as the Wreckers ploughed the ''[[Debris]]'' into the pocket dimension, threatening to collapse the realm from within. In the ensuing fight, he was taken down handily by [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Kup]], who shot the rabbit in the chest. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 4|Sins of the Wreckers #4}}

[[File:RequiemOfTheWreckers-OverbiteStampy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
Stampy recovered by the time that the Noisemaze began its final, fatal contraction, and escaped with the other Chimeracons. With Tarantulas seemingly vanquished, Impactor took command of the unit and vowed to continue their mission of exposing the sins of their leaders. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 5|Sins of the Wreckers #5}} Over the next two years, the team continued their covert operations on Earth as the planet joined the [[Council of Worlds]], which included monitoring the anti-Cybertronian firebrand "Megan Guiglione." While staking out one of her rallies in a police motorbike form, Stampy watched as the gathering was interrupted by a mind-controlled [[Springer (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Springer]], who fired on the politician... and revealed that Guiglione was a convenient bio-disguise for [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]]. Though the 'bots of Mayhem attempted to take him down, they were unceremoniously slaughtered to the last 'bot by the rogue Decepticon. {{storylink|Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers|Requiem of the Wreckers}}

Another Stampy was a [[Maximal]] follower of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Onyx Prime]] who was present with his leader on [[Antilla]] when confronting a party of [[Caminus (planet)|Camiens]]. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}}

===Legends World===
A high schooler in the [[Legends World]], Stampy was part a crowd excited to see [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], unaware that "Prime" was actually [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]]'s truck, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 35|Bonus Edition Vol. 35}} and later listened to Mayor [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s speech introducing the Legends World's protector, [[Broadside (G1)|Broadside]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 53|Bonus Edition Vol. 53}}

Stampy was initially scared of his class's fierce-looking new teacher, [[Big Convoy|Big]], {{storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei|Year 3, Class B Big-sensei}} until he turned out to be a huge dork who just wanted to teach them about ''Transformers'', confusing the whole class. {{storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei|First Lesson First}} At one point he was shaken down for his allowance by his bully of a classmate, [[Colada]], though Big intervened. {{storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei|Delinquent Colada}} During sports day, Stampy failed at ice skating and got smushed under Big's weight during the cavalry battle. {{storylink|LG59 Blitzwing Prologue: Big-sensei|Hot-blooded Break}} One day he was exasperated to find that Big had fallen asleep during class. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 59|Bonus Edition Vol. 59}}

While walking around in [[Tokyo]], Stampy witnessed [[Majin Zarak]] being brought into his universe, thanks to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]. {{Storylink|Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One|Legends World in Imminent Danger!

[[File:BWN-toy Stampy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Lookit th' ''bones!'']]
*'''Stampy''' (January [[1999]])
**''ID number:'' '''C-31'''
:Part of the first wave of ''Beast Wars Neo'' products in the [[Japan]]ese ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#BWN|Beast Wars]]'' toyline, Stampy is a Basic-sized figure that transforms into an organic white rabbit, seemingly designed to have his beast mode in a permanent mid-leap pose. His [[beast mode]] mouth/head halves are attached to the [[robot mode]] forearms via a screw allowing for the slightest amount of opening/closing movement in the mouth (this mouth movement can also double somewhat as his "Rabbit Claw" weapons). In robot mode, his rabbit ears become his non-removable "Ear Swords", with his fists molded to look as if they are holding them. Stampy's [[Maximal]] [[spark crystal]] is located on his chest in robot mode.

:Stampy's toy heavily borrows engineering from [[Transmetal]] [[Cheetor (BW)/toys#TM1|Cheetor]], but the two toys share no actual parts.

:This figure also features a third "Scissor Mode", with the Ear Swords pointing forward. When pulling back on the rabbit's tail, the scissor-blades move in and out from each other, to a pretty lame and vaguely scissor-like extent. This mode is designed to be used as a hand-held weapon by his larger comrades such as [[Big Convoy]] or [[Longrack (BWN)#Toys|Longrack]]—or any other figure equipped with a 5 mm port. Amusingly, the Scissor Mode [[gimmick]] gives him a "shrugging" action in robot mode.

==Notes==
*Originally, the Toy Fair ''Transformers'' press release rechristened the "Robot Powered Machines" line as the "Action Fleet", but the packaging at Toy Fair featured the name "Speed Stars", which was what the items were eventually released as. No [[Micro Machines]] nostalgia for '''you!'''
*Much of the early Speed Stars range is made up of vehicles that were originally intended for release in the RPM line, but never saw release in the United States. These include Battle Series 2, the Metal Heroes Series, the Cyber Hunt Series, the Revealers Series, and the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance Series. Compared to the versions that were released in overseas markets as RPMs, the Speed Stars iterations lack a great deal of paint detailing.
*While other characters simply switched colors, Metal Heroes Ironhide, however, received an entirely new deco based on his Enforcer Ironhide toys.

*'''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1984/1985/1986/1990)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''22'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, 2 missile launchers, 2 null-rays, 2 cluster bombs, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear

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

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

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

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

: Starscream's mold was [[redeco]]ed into the concurrently-available [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]]. It would later be redecoed again to make [[Sunstorm (G1)|Sunstorm]], and [[retool]]ed into [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]]. On top of this, given his role as a major Generation 1 character, Starscream himself would be reissued many times down the years, the first being [[Classics (Europe)#Australian exclusives|still in his original packaging in Australia]] in 1990. Subsequent reissues had more distinctive presentation, and this article strives to list each one under its own header. The long lifespan of his toy actually began in 1986, when Starscream remained part of the assortment for that year despite the departure of nearly every other 1984 toy from store shelves.

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

**''Accessories'': 2-part Pretender shell, helmet, left & right wings, left & right "lasers"/tail wings, rifle
:The first new Starscream toy since the original brought the treacherous Air Commander back as a [[Classic Pretender]]. He still transforms into a grey, red and blue F-15 fighter jet, though his vehicle mode now borders on the [[super deformed]]. He is armed with a pair of blue lasers, which become his tail fins in jet mode.

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

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

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

: [[Action Master]] Starscream is a non-transforming action figure based loosely on his cartoon [[character model]], but using a color scheme derived from the Pretender toy. His main accessory is the [[Turbo Jet]], a small personal attack craft that Starscream can set astride like a motorcycle. The Turbo Jet rolls on three small wheels, and can transform into a gun emplacement.

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

*'''Starscream''' (Decepticon Jet, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, left & right wings, left & right tail fins, left & right tail wings, landing gear, 2 missile launchers, 3 missiles, sound/light energy unit

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

:This version of the mold would have been used to make ''Generation 2'' [[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]]. The new accessories were also used, in different colors, for ''Generation 2'' [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ramjet]].

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

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

: This toy's deco was modified to make ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'''s [[BB#Toys|BB]] and [[Starscream (BWII)#Toys|Starscream]] out of the same mold-set. Importantly, ''this'' Starscream has light gray plastic rather than ''Beast Wars II'' Starscream's silver plastic, as well as an unpainted gray head with a blue faceplate where ''Beast Wars II'' has a painted-black helmet with silver faceplate, and of course, different stickers between the two. The missiles in the set are also [[retool]]ed with a different, pointier back-end, indicating the launchers' interiors were also retooled; this tooling is however completely different from the retooling done to each individual later use of the mold, meaning ''none'' of the missiles are interchangeable between them.

: This mold was also used to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Dreadwind (RID)#Toys|Dreadwind]] and [[Smokejumper#Toys|Smokejumper]], while Starscream's mold was sold separately during the ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' line as [[Smokesniper#Toys|Smokesniper]].

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

[[File:MW-toy Starscream.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|I have no mouth and I must Starscream.]]
*'''Starscream''' (Ultra, 1997)
**''Accessories:'' 10 missiles

: Starscream's ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' incarnation is a redeco of the [[Predator (subgroup)|Predator]] [[Skyquake (G1)#Toys|Skyquake]], transforming into a large bomber jet based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird. The main feature of the toy is its "carpet bombing" gimmick; each wing contains a drum that holds up to four missiles, which drop out as the drum is rotated. A further two missiles can also store on each wing, and one on each side of his fuselage, but while Skyquake came with enough missiles to fill all these ports, Starscream only comes with ten. The short length of the missiles necessary for this gimmick to function means that Starscream does not come with Skyquake's firing missile launcher, since the missiles are shorter than [[for safety reasons|US safety standards]] allow, although it is incorrectly shown on his packaging. Starscream also lacks Skyquake's [[Megavisor]] gimmick. The figure also features a barely noticeable yet enormous Decepticon symbol on the [http://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/view/machine-wars/starscream/608/2/25/ top of the plane] rendered in black paint on black plastic.

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

: This mold was later redecoed to make [[King Atlas#Toys|King Atlas]]. The toy [[Repurposing|doubles]] as the [[Starscream drone]]s in ''[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]'' and as [[Starscream (MW)|an unnamed character]] in [[2019 IDW continuity]].

*'''Starscream'''

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

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

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

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

: The second ''Collector's Edition'' e-HOBBY-exclusive redeco available concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the original Generation 1 Starscream toy, "Starscream Black Version" sports a color scheme loosely based upon ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine_Wars|Starscream]], despite the only real point of similarity being that they are both black. The toy's [[bio]] makes a rare fictional reference to ''Machine Wars'', describing [[Machine Wars (event)|the events]] of the series in the past tense. The toy shared the window-box packaging of the "Ghost Version" (see above), except its box was monochrome-black.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*'''Starscream''' ([[September 28]], [[2006]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-3'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, [[Doctor Arkeville#Masterpiece|Doctor Arkeville]] pilot figurine, gun clip, two-piece display stand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*'''Starscream'''/'''New Emperor of Destruction Starscream'''<ref>http://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/toy/search/masterpiece/mp11/</ref> ([[March 31]], [[2012]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-11'''
**''Accessories:'' Crown, pauldrons (left and right), cape, 2 null-rays, hologram pilot figurine

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

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

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

**''Accessories'': 5 alternate faces, Gun mode Megatron, 5 [[Fire Blast effect|effect parts]], 2-part stand base, stand arm, stand cradle, pincer, drill, asteroid fragment

:This new iteration of the ''Masterpiece'' Starscream features more cartoon-accurate proportions compared to previous releases. He can also convert into his Gerwalk-styled "Alternate Transformation" while in Jet mode. Popular toy magazine ''Figure King'' profiled this new cartoon/Anime accurate version in issue #242.

:A ''Hobby Magazine'' issue revealed that his chest was redesigned during the prototype's production, allowing the parts to correctly sit flush.

:For accessories, he comes with 5 alternate faces, various effect parts and, like many other newer ''Masterpiece'' figures, a bunch of accessories referring to determinate appearances of the character in the G1 cartoon, such as Megatron in gun mode (the first time such an accessory has been included with a ''Masterpiece'' Starscream), the drill arm seen in "[[The Core]]" and the pincer he used in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]" to remove the asteroid fragment from Megatron's arm, alongside said asteroid fragment. He also comes with a 2-piece stand with an adaptable arm, a purple redeco of the one that came with [[Dinobot (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|Dinobot]], plus a specific cradle adapter to attach Starscream in Gerwalk mode to the stand. Numerous cases of hairline cracks have been reported at the wrist joints and tailfin joints.

:Upon the announcement of the second version of ''Masterpiece'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#MP52|Skywarp]], a competition for Starscream's add-on kit was revealed; giving him his iconic crown and cape from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Those who purchase Starscream, Skywarp, and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#MP52|Thundercracker]] will receive the exclusive kit.

:''Masterpiece'' Starscream Ver. 2.0 was redecoed into the [[TakaraTomy Mall]] [[exclusive]] Thundercracker.

:This is the first Starscream toy [[Licensed_vehicle_alternate_modes|licensed]] by {{w|Boeing}}.

[[File:ClassicsStarscream toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Fear my extra-long null-rays!!!]]
*'''Starscream''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-ray cannons (left and right), 2 missiles

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

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

: [[Variant#Running changes|Later versions]] of Starscream saw a [[retool]] in the jet intake area, which involved the slope of his shoulders being decreased, and a fifth small rectangle being added to the vertical area. This version of Starscream is the harder to find of the two, but was used as the basis for all subsequent redecos and retools. Despite its age, the mold has been frequently reused for various Seeker characters in the years since its first use, though its last few uses have exhibited visible signs of mold degredation.

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

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

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

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

**''Accessories:'' Display stand

:Perversely enough, ''[[Titanium Series|Titanium]]'' Starscream is actually a redeco of ''Titanium'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Thundercracker]], instead of the other way around. Based on the Seekers' [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] forms as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic series ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'', this version of Starscream transforms into Cybertronian "tetrajet", as designed by [[Don Figueroa]]. As a ''Titanium'' figure, Starscream is made in large part from die-cast metal, and comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

: This mold was redecoed into ''Titanium'' versions of [[Sunstorm (G1)#Titanium Series|Sunstorm]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Titanium Series|Skywarp]], and [[Thrust (G1)#Titanium Series|Thrust]].

:This red and black redeco of the ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]] figure (itself a retool of the ''Sports Label'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Optimus Prime]]) appeared on eBay in mid-2007, identified by the auctioneer as Starscream. More pictures followed from a different source a month later, but after that, this strange little redeco quietly vanished, never released, and never even officially ''acknowledged'' by [[TakaraTomy]]. Was it a [[knockoff|knock-off]], or an abandoned official product? We may never know.

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

:A new series of reissues means a new release of the original Generation 1 Starscream figure, and Takara's ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' series proved no different. This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, with its only notable change from past versions being a pale yellow window instead of dark gray, and the inclusion of [[tampograph]]ed Decepticon insignias on its wings and nosecone, rather than stickers (similar to the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' reissue before it but not flipped like the animation and metallic purple and silver instead of glossy purple and white). The sculpted copyright date is still the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release.

: Available only as a mail-away exclusive offered through ''[[Transformers Generations 2009]]'' Vol 2 that was released in November 2009, this redeco of Starscream is the second in the character's history to pay homage to his time as a ghost in the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon by casting him almost entirely in traslucent colored plastic. Parts of the figure made in softer plastic, like his thighs, remain opaque.

: Starscream Ghost Version uses the altered version of the ''Classics'' Starscream mold that originated with Classics [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]] and was last seen with [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]] (down to the 2006 copyright date stamped on it), rather than the modified version first used on ''Universe'' Starscream and the iterations that followed ([[#Universe (2008)|see below]]).

**''Series'': Generation 1 Series
**''Accessories:'' Left & right missile launchers, 2 missiles

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

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

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

:This modified version of the mold was used for ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Henkei! Henkei!|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Thundercracker]].

**''ID number:'' '''A-04'''

:The first transformable Starscream toy not to turn into a jet, ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Starscream transforms into a licensed 1:32 scale {{w|Mitsuoka Orochi}}. Like the other toys in the line, he features [[die-cast]] metal parts and rubber tires, as well as an opening hood, trunk and doors. This is also currently the only ''Alternity'' mold to feature [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|a fake kibble chest]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

: He was later redecoed into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Skywarp (WFC)#Generations|Skywarp]] and ''Thrilling 30'' [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#T30Deluxe|Thundercracker]] and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Thrilling 30|Skywarp]].

**''Accessories:'' 2 null-ray cannons

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

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

: This figure was redecoed into ''Thrilling 30'' [[Acid Storm (G1)#Generations|Acid Storm]], ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Legends Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Thundercracker]], and ''Combiner Wars'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Skywarp]].

:Part of the eighth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' "[[Starscream (Armada)#Generations|Armada Starscream]]" is a modern update of the original ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)/toys#Armada|Starscream]] figure. He comes with two "Energon Swords" which he holds via 5 mm post, and can fold up and store on his wings. He has numerous [[Powerlinx]] plugs on his forearms and turbines. Additionally, his turbines can each fire a missile in either mode via pressure-launch, and can be positioned in robot mode to either face forward or lay flat on his back.

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

:Starscream is a redeco of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Leader Class [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#CWLeader|Thundercracker]], itself a retool of ''Thrilling 30'' [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generations|Jetfire]]. He transforms from a robot into a jet fighter, and includes a missile launcher and four limb-mounted weapons, two guns based on the traditional Seeker arm rifles, and the infamous crown based on the equally infamous coronation scene from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', which fits around his head. He also features a faux cockpit.

:Starscream does not include the original Jetfire mold's "Turbo Thruster" booster pack accessory, but is still compatible with it.

**''Accessories'': 2 null-ray rifles

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

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

:This mold was retooled to make [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Cyber Series|''Cyber Series'' Jetfire]].

*'''Starscream''' (2015)
**''ID number:'' '''MP-07'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 null-rays, 2 missile racks, hologram pilot figurine, two-piece display stand, gun clip

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

:Despite still using the numbering system of Hasbro's ''Masterpiece'' line begun in 2013, Starscream was [[co-branding|co-branded]] as part of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' line. He was available exclusively at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Australia, and Canada.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Alt-Modes'' [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Alt-Modes|Skywarp]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Alt-Modes|Thundercracker]], [[Acid Storm (G1)#Alt-Modes|Acid Storm]] and [[Sunstorm (G1)#Alt-Modes|Sunstorm]], and would have been retooled into [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Alt-Modes|Dirge]].

[[File:PowerOfThePrimestoy-Starscream.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|left|Arise, THICC-Scream.]]

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Starscream transforms from a robot that utilizes the [[Evergreen]]-styled design into a fighter jet. He also features some markings on his jet mode: an Autobot kill count on the right side of the cockpit, and a Decepticon symbol with the number "D-22" (a reference to Starscream's Japanese ID number). Starscream can also form the torso of [[Starscream Combiner|an unnamed combiner]] using any selection of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style Deluxe Class figures as limbs. His instructions and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him with the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures from Wave 1. He also includes Prime Armor that can hold a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination#Generations|Enigma]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) and can turn into feet for said unnamed combiner. The silhouette of Starscream's torso mode appears to homage the robot mode of another [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Like all the other Voyager Class figures, Starscream includes an Enigma of Combination (dubbed the ''Seeker Enigma''), based on a Prime Master, which can attach to Starscream via the previously mentioned Prime Armor or the combined mode chest, which can also facilitate the other previously mentioned objects.

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

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

**''TakaraTomy release date'': '''[[April 27]], 2019'''
**''Hidden message code'': '''NULLRAY'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 "HPI [[Null-ray|Null-Ray]] Laser Launchers"

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Starscream transforms from a heavily G1-inspired robot into a Cybertronian 'tetrajet' based on the [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers']] appearance in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]", although the jet mode has <s>the robot-mode legs</s> pretty much his ''entire robot body'' sticking out from the undercarriage. He includes two "HPI Null-Ray Laser Launchers," which can mount on his upper arms or under the wings in jet mode (or in any other 5 mm port, really). As part of the ''Siege'' [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], Starscream has 5 mm ports on his biceps, forearms, shins, under his feet (vehicle-mode thrusters), and wings. The 3 mm pegs on his shins, forearms, left bicep, and the tips of his null-rays can accommodate effects parts (sold separately). Similar to his wavemate [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Soundwave]], Starscream is absolutely ''slathered'' in battle damage paint — it's heavily present on his legs, chest, forearms, and the ''entirety'' of his jet form.

:Like the rest of ''Siege'', his robot mode focuses on articulation, with double-jointed elbows, knees that bend at nearly 180 degrees, ankle rockers, and especially waist articulation being notable articulation points for a Starscream toy. As an interesting design addition, he also has spring-loaded panels in his lower legs to avoid hollow gaps when viewed from the back. As a rather heavy shellformer, Starscream can easily be separated into both a wingless robot mode and a nearly complete tetrajet via a single friction hinge.

:Speaking of friction hinges, the initial release of Starscream suffers from a production flaw: his robot-mode chest easily pops off during transformation as a result of a late design change that removed a pin from the chest without adjusting plastic tolerances. Said initial releases also use the live-action "angry eyes" design for his Decepticon insignia. One or both errors were corrected for later wave shipments; both were fixed by the time the figure shipped again with Voyager Class [[Springer (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Springer]]. While the pin wasn't added back in, the plastic used for the grey strut the chest piece attaches to uses a stiffer plastic that is less likely to cause it to pop off.

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

:The original figure eventually became a notorious shelfwarmer, due to him being reissued in the third wave and coincidentally around the time that the ''Earthrise'' figure was revealed at NYCC 2019.

**''Hasbro ID number:'' '''WFC-E9'''
**''TakaraTomy ID Number:'' '''ER-05'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' '''[[June 27]], 2020'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 [[null-ray]]s

:Released as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Voyager Class lineup, this version of Starscream is a cartoon-accurate mold. He transforms into an F-15 jet based on his traditional alternate mode and features a pair of G1-accurate null-rays. His design and transformation scheme is heavily based on his [[#Classics|2006 ''Classics'' figure]] while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backwards in robot mode. However, due to this, his torso is very hollow at the sides and his intended waist articulation was dropped due to the physical space required for transformation.

:The stock renders have some minor differences from the prototype seen at New York Comic Con. The renders depict the section of his chest that covers part of his cockpit as being unpainted red, while the prototype has it painted a more animation-accurate white, also present on renders featuring [[Smashdown]], and ''four'' null-rays on his Jet mode, with two of them attached at the turbines of his chest, which is impossible to do on the toy. The render also depicts his shoulder joints as being molded in blue and knee joints in white, whereas the prototype has their colors swapped.

:At least ''one'' copy features a factory misassembled figure with a newly tooled head sculpt<ref>https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/alternate-head-for-earthrise-starscream.1190272/</ref> (with his expression being based on him being disintegrated by Galvatron in ''The Transformers: The Movie'') which was meant for [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Skywarp]].

:There have been reports of some units suffering from a cracked waist panel due to the left tab not being pushed in far enough during assembly. The unpaintable gray parts, such as the elbows and tailfins, are somewhat prone to [[photodegradation|photodegrading]] in-package. Moreover, the over reliance of red paint for his torso and black paint for his head means that he is extremely prone to chipping.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Starscream's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read markings on the map. Unusually for a larger Earthrise toy, Starscream's piece of the map does not contain the labeled location of a named planet; however it does include an unlabeled image of the planet [[Jupiter]], slightly obscured by another smaller sphere. It also shows a sliver of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], one of several planets too big for one map piece.

:As per the norm, Starscream was later redecoed into [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Skywarp]] (with the alternate head) and [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thundercracker]] (with the neutral-faced head). The mold would later be further retooled into the [[Conehead]]s [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ramjet]], [[Dirge (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Dirge]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Thrust]] and then differently retooled into [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Coronation Starscream]].

:''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]'' Core Class Starscream is a roughly Legends-sized toy that can interact with Titan Class figures, although its product description states that it is designed to pose with larger Starscream toys. The mold's sculpting is heavily inspired by its larger ''Earthrise'' counterpart, though featuring a gray pelvis instead of a red one, and having the underside of Starscream's wings facing forward. Starscream comes with his signature weapons—a pair of null-rays, which can either be plugged into his arms or held as handguns.

**''Accessories'': 2 null-rays, cape, crown, throne, "All Hail Starscream" backdrop

:Part of the 8th wave of ''[[Studio Series]]'' Leader Class toys, "Coronation Starscream" is a retool of the ''Earthrise'' Starscream [[#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|above]], with newly-molded poseable hands and null-rays, the coronation gear from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', and the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' [[:File:Mtmte1 megatron throne.jpg|throne]] from "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]." The toy lacks the paint applications on his tail fins, the middle ring on his cockpit, and adds additional grey squares to his jet mode for [[:File:TFTM Starscream Jet.jpg|closer accuracy]] to the movie.

:The cape is sculpted plastic that is hinged to flair out like the [[#MP11|''Masterpiece'' MP-11 toy]] above and has a C.O.M.B.A.T. System-style 5 mm post, allowing [[:File:BlasterG2.jpg|anyone compatible]] to have a lavender cape. The shoulder pads feature flip-down panels with a 5 mm port to attach the differently-molded null-rays, designed to fit with the new armor pieces. The throne features storage on the back for all the accessories, including multiple 5 mm ports.

:First revealed on the [[August 13]]th, 2021 [[Hasbro Pulse#Fan First Friday|Fan First Friday]], the toy is the first to show off the Leader Class window-less packaging, starting in 2022, which allows for expanded [[package art]]. Like the other ''Studio Series'' toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. Starscream's backdrop depicts his ill-fated coronation at the [[Hall of Heroes]].

Also, only the left 1/3 of his helmet painted its proper black, with the rest being left in unpainted gray. Rarely 2/3 of it is black, and if you're lucky, the whole head might be black! Hallelujah!

:The box depicts him with Thundercracker's head, for some odd reason.

*'''Starscream''' (Action Figure, 2014)
**''Pieces: '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Wing-pack

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Starscream is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

:Rather than coming with a (nominally) hand-held weapon accessory, Starscream comes with a wing-pack. Of course, being a ''Hero Mashers'' piece, it can be attached anywhere, including being hand-held, and the wings have multiple gun barrels on them, so have a blast.

: His right forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Skywarp]]'s arm in the [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Megatron]] set.

:Starscream's torso sculpt is noticeably similar to that of the [[Titan Heroes|Titan Guardian]] Starscream released at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in [[2013]].

:This individual release of ''EZ Collection'' Starscream is a redeco of the [[#Transformers .282010.29|2010 ''Transformers'' Legends Class Starscream]] toy, and it features light blue paint applications replacing the original dark blue's. However, unlike the ''Chronicle'' toy and the vehicle stock photo, his head/cockpit is painted half black, which makes it slightly less glaring in jet mode. Stock photos also depict him having a greener shade of metallic blue.

*'''Starscream''' (Legion Class, 2014/2017)

: Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt, this time as an odd mish-mash of prior releases. The tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and holes inside his wings compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs, while the deco is nigh-identical the ''[[Transformers Chronicle (toyline)|Chronicle]]'' release, with the fully-black hemlet making for a weird-looking jet-mode nosecone. The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark on the inside of one of the tailfins and number on the inner right leg, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. A later [[variant]] replaced the purple Decepticon insignia with black versions.

: Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Starscream/Waspinator two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Starscream's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Reveal the Shield subline|Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the null-rays that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the weapons.

:Legion Class Starscream has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. The later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. This figure was re-released in 2017 in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]], the black insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

: Starscream is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Voyager Class [[Doubledealer#Generations|Doubledealer]], itself a redeco/[[retool]] of [[Blitzwing (G1)/toys#Generations|Blitzwing]] from the same line. Starscream transforms into two vaguely futuristic vehicles: a jet with an opening cockpit and back-mounted rocket boosters, as well as a tank with a rotating turret and a spring-loaded "Vertex Cannon" that launches its missile when the barrel is compressed. The cannon can also be swung out and deployed for use in jet mode. He lacks Doubledealer's blaster and sword accessories, but instead comes with two of [[#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Starscream]]'s [[null-ray]] cannons that can plug into the [[5 mm post]]s on his shoulders/vehicle sides, cannon base, and wings. Unfortunately, his shoulders suffer from the same [[design flaw]] Blitzwing and Doubledealer suffered from. Starscream was sold exclusively through [[e-HOBBY]].

Like so many other "ghost" Starscream figures, he is cast almost completely in translucent plastics.

: As a Deluxe-sized ''Unite Warriors'' figure, he can form the leg or arm of any ''Combiner Wars''-style Combiner or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs, but is normally associated with [[Grand Galvatron#Toys|Grand Galvatron]]. As such, his large (non-firing) double-missile-launcher accessory can convert into either a hand or foot for combiner forms.

His eyes have also been painted gold rather than using the old terrible [[sticker]] across the bridge of his nose. His [[rubsign]] is an all-new type used on all of the ''Vintage G1'' toys; the insignia only turns red rather than the mood-ring multicolor of older rubsigns, plus the silver border is mirror-level reflective.

==Notes==
[[File:G2SSJungleprotojet.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb]]
* During the development of the [[Conehead]]s, [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]] was initially planned as new wing tooling attached to an unchanged Starscream body. This [[prototype]] plan lasted long enough to receive [[package art]], which was published decades later in ''[[Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging]]''.
* In the 1990s, Hasbro evidently had more redeco plans for Starscream (and the paired [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ramjet]]) that fell through:
** A hand-painted mock-up and accompanying artwork for a proposed Generation 2-era redeco of Starscream appeared in auctions on eBay, amongst similar items put up for sale from the collection of a former Hasbro employee. Eventually, this black redeco of Starscream was revealed to have been labeled by Hasbro as "[[Blackout (G2)|Blackout]]". Said redeco was probably planned for release alongside the Ramjet redeco named "[[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]".
** Another unproduced redeco of Starscream for the ''Generation 2'' line was found in 2007, in an auction on eBay. It is known to the fandom as "Jungle Attack Starscream" (as seen to the right). It is unclear if it was intended to actually be another Starscream toy; it may have been paired for release with "[[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Notes|Cloud Camo Ramjet]]", who was discovered at a similar level of "completion".
* During early planning for ''Beast Wars'', Hasbro conceived [[McDonald's]] toys of vehicular [[Auto Roller (G2)|Auto Roller]]s, including one of Starscream as a jet.<ref>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/ ]</ref> This toy concept may have been a parallel idea to the unreleased ''Generation 2'' [[jet Auto Roller]] ultimately used in Japan as ''Beast Wars II'' [[Autojetter#Toys|Autojetter]].
* Aside from Starscream's ''Unite Warriors'' Deluxe Class toy (as the alternate head of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]]) and his ''Power of the Primes'' Voyager Class toy (as his own body tooling), Hasbro also designed an unused combining body for Starscream as the "pretooled" alternate head of ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager Class [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Cyclonus]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984-1986)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

:Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Micro Change]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so.

:'Bee has a ''lot'' of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year. The original version of Bumblebee also features the "Dunlop" brand name stamped on his tires.

:Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-spies]] and iron-on reflective patches. The Mini-spies packed in with Bumblebee and Cliffjumper only came in white, one of the three possible colors for the add-ons.

: For his 1985 Japanese release, Bumblebee came in a small box rather than on a card. He was available in both red and yellow, both versions having the rubsign rather than the foil faction symbol. He was also released in the 1986 assortment, but only in yellow. This is why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border, which will be covered in separate entries below (as to not make this entry unreadably long; there's a ''ton'' of variants and more keep popping up!).

: In the early 1990s, Bumblebee was one of many Transformers ''finally'' released in China. He comes on a card nigh-identical to the original Hasbro packaging, with a few Chinese-language stickers added. The toy itself has some notable differences from the original, however: aside from an unpainted rear bumper (the most obvious difference), this Bumblebee has a paler, less-saturated yellow plastic. He also only came in yellow, and only came with a rubsign. This toy, along with many other Chinese-market Transformers at the time, somehow made their way to UK stores, most notably Woolworths.

:This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

:The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (Universe)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: When he was released in Mexico by [[IGA]], Bumblebee came in five decoes: both the original red and yellow, as well as blue, silver, and white. The silver and white versions are particularly notable (and significantly rarer), as they have red-painted faces (similar to that of probably-[[Hubcap (G1)#IGA|Hubcap]]). The sticker on the back of Mexican Bumblebee's head is also slightly different from the Hasbro/Takara release, being the same general design, but smaller and with thicker, simpler lines.

: Years later, large numbers of Mexican Transformers somehow made it to various European markets.

*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests based on the original ''[[Micro Change]]'' decals. The design of the sticker on the back of his head was also changed to a more complex grid pattern. The raised "DUNLOP" branding on the tires was also removed.

: Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee.

*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

: The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985, both sporting the Estrela stickers and "DUNLOP"-less tires. Later releases of the orange version have been found with different paper stickers: the one on his chest/roof being one that was originally applied to [[Salt-Man Z]]'s groin. (The back-of-the-head decal was ''probably'' also changed, but right know we don't know for sure.)

: The card's toy photogrpahy depicts the Estrela yellow and silver versions, but it is believed this was merely a holdover from the Estrela-designed packaging, and that neither coloration was ever sold in Argentina.

: These toys are more readily available on the secondary market than their Estrela predecessors. They also have lower quality control.

{{-}}{{anchor|Rubiplas}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1985)

: As far as foreign Mini Vehicle variants go, the Venezuelan release of Bumblebee by [[Rubiplas]] is pretty tame. He came in both the Hasbro yellow and red versions, and retains the Hasbro stickers. However, his head lacks both the silver paint on his face, and the [[Vacuum metallizing|chrome silver]] on the "plate" part of the head, leaving it as black plastic.

{{-}}{{anchor|Lynsa}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1986)

: Manufactured by Argentinean company [[Lynsa]] but sold in Peru, this version of Bumblebee is similar to the Rubiplas release, lacking any paint or chrome, but this version also has plastic tires instead of rubber. So far, three different colorations have been confirmed: the original yellow-and-black, red-and-black, and peachy-orange-and-black. It is claimed that there may be ''six'' different versions of Peruvian Bumblebee all told, with the three others being unique to that market, but no-one has been able to find and confirm the others so far.

*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''C-97'''

:The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Despite being made of gold plastic, he does not seem to suffer from [[Gold Plastic Syndrome]]. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the previous year).

: The Throttlebots were part of the [[Decoy]] promotion in 1987, where the carded toys came with a soft-rubber figurine. The Throttlebots were the only team to come with either Autobot or Decepticon Decoys; the other toys in the promotion only came with Decoys of the same faction they belonged to.

:This toy also doubles as the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]].

:As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, but now has what look like off-road tires. His vehicle mode has a realistically-proportioned front end, but the cab area is more relatively compact than on the Goldbug toy (though not quite as deformed as the original Bumblebee). He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys|Cliffjumper]]'s toy head.

:Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001.

Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys" [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#MP21|at that time]], and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the "[[Descent into Evil]]" comic.

:The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 {{w|Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback}} with lots of aftermarket add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the {{w|Subaru Impreza WRX}}, namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the {{w|Volkswagen New Beetle}}.

:Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers.<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref> He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees.

In addition, the shoulder straps are no longer painted yellow, instead showing the clear blue plastic they are cast in; the head is no longer be painted over in yellow, due to the change of the plastic color from gray to yellow; and the [[Wave Crusher]] replaces the white paint with black paint for the upper half and an unpainted yellow lower half, and the orange stripe with a yellow one.

His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

:Care must be taken while rolling the vehicle: pushing down while moving the vehicle forward can chip the paint underneath the hip section. The hip ball-joints are also fragile, as one of them can eventually break if one attempts to separate it, or twisting it with a slightly warped ball joint.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2012)

:While the overall deco is similar to that of ''Dark of the Moon'' Cybertronian Bumblebee, some of the [[paint operation]]s are different: The Autobot [[insignia|logo]] is now placed on the side of his right arm/passenger door of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] (the official [[stock photography|stock photos]] on the back of the packaging are flipped, depicting it on the opposite side instead) rather than on the robot mode's chest/vehicle mode's roof, and the red stripes on the "running boards" on the sides of his vehicle mode have been omitted.

:In addition, this release of the sculpt also sports a very minor [[retool]] compared to all previous releases, namely additional pegs and holes that allow for his arms to attach more securely to the torso in vehicle mode.<ref name="legendspegs">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/575525-rts-legends-dollar-general-generic-packaging-11.html#post7646534 Comparison of ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class Gold Bumblebee and ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee, with newly-sculpted pegs.]</ref>

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Toys|''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a "[[Cybertronian courier]]." He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode. Like the original mold, His legs are generally loose at the mid-thigh joint due to being used for transformation.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

:This mold was also used to make [[Cliffjumper (WFC)#Toys|''War For Cybertron'' Cliffjumper]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#United|''United'' Cliffjumper Cybertron Mode]].

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the ''Henkei'' release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

He can be rebuilt into a hatchback and comes with no Kreons. Since his vehicle mode is basically a solid brick that can't hold any Kreons, this isn't such a big thing.

His "normal" helmet and large rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable hand-cannon, rocket-pack and energon axe.

:He was only available in a pack of 30 Kreons dubbed "Class of 1984", [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock was be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but the set actually sold out at the show.

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

:Part of the new Battle Changers line, Battle Changers Bumblebee transforms from a vehicle that vaguely resembles a sports car with a proportions of a Volkswagen Beetle into a robot and back without removing any parts!

:All of the 2015 ''Transformers [[Kre-O]]'' product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set.
Strangely, the CG render of this product details a front windshield in place of Bumblebee's racing stripes, why it was removed is beyond us.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of Generation 1 Bumblebee: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, this ''Thrilling 30'' Bumblebee is a new mold with a robot mode based on the character's body from IDW's [[The Transformers (IDW)|''The Transformers'' vol. 1]] ongoing series; more specifically, it is the version used by [[Guido Guidi]] in [[Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|issue #21]]. He transforms into a muscle car that resembles a fifth generation [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes#Ford Mustang|Ford Mustang]], and comes with two "stinger blasters" which peg via 5mm post into his hands, forearms, and rear vehicle sides, and can also combine into a large weapon.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of ''[[The Question|Spotlight: Bumblebee]]'', with a cropped version of the [[Clayton Crain]] RI cover that is called out as a '[[Hasbro]] Exclusive Cover'. In European and Canadian markets the figure is packed without the comic.

The same applied to the packaged sample on display at [[BotCon 2013]]. Fortunately, the final toy sports the stripes after all. For their own official website, Hasbro remedied this with a new set of stock photos that are more representative of the final product... which were later replaced with the inaccurate photos.

:This mold was retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]] and [[Goshooter#Generations|Goshooter]] as well as ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Carzap (BT)#Timelines|Carzap]].

**''Accessories:'' Blaster/Hand Cannon

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores in the US, Canada, the UK, and Germany, this two-pack includes a "Classic" Bumblebee [[redeco]]ed from the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Legends Class Bumblebee, cast in a slightly lighter yellow with blue headlights and taillights and armed with a black and yellow redeco of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Jolt (ROTF)#Deluxe Class toys 3|Deluxe Jolt]]'s [[MechTech]] weapon that turns into a hand cannon when the scope is pulled. This weapon can either be plugged via 5mm post on his roof/back or held in hand. As with all other ''MechTech'' Deluxe weapon accessories, the converted weapon cannot lock into place.

: The two-pack was one of the three Evolution 2-packs available as a Toys"R"Us exclusive in Japan, with no changes on the figures with an exception of the packaging, which the front box features Japanese translated versions of the English text, and a sticker on the back confirming that this was a Japanese release.

====''Cyber Series''====
[[File:Generations-Cyber-Battalion-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)
:Part of the new ''Generations'' Cyber Battalion series, Bumblebee is a new mold which stands 7 inches tall, and transforms from a sports car, which is probably a combination between ''Generations'' Legends Class' Bumblebee's and ''Prime'' Bumblebee's alt mode, into a robot in just 5 simple steps. The figure's transformation engineering takes cues from the ''Prime'' Cyberverse Bumblebee figure. Bumblebee also features 5mm-compatible hands.

:Like every Cyber Series figures, Bumblebee was available in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com, initially not hitting mass retail anywhere besides Asia and Latin America. However, alongside Starscream and Optimus Prime, it eventually saw a limited release in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and was later widely available as a Walgreens exclusive.

His transformation scheme is largely based on that of [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#Legion Class|Robots in Disguise Legion Bumblebee]]. His arms feature a decent range of articulation as well as 5mm-compatible hands. His robot mode stands taller than most modern Leader class figures.

**''ID Number'': '''MP-08'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, rear-view mirrors, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike Witwicky]] (Exosuit), spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face

:This Hasbro version of [[#MP21|''Masterpiece'' MP-21 Bumblebee]] is virtually unchanged from its Takara counterpart. All accessories included with the MP-21 version (minus the retailer-exclusive battle mask) are present in this release. Unlike the Takara version which (confusingly) identifies the Exosuit figure as Spike or Daniel, this version identifies him as just Spike.

:Oddly, the instruction manual and package has a couple quirks—first, stock photos of Bumblebee's robot mode show his hood vent flap exposed and his backpack untransformed, where the flap should be tucked into its compartment in his pelvis and the backpack rotated, then the bumper folded in. The instructions also show this, but it shows the steps for tucking in the flap and transforming the backpack. Second, the instructions for the swappable face gimmick has two errors: The regular face is shown twice instead of the smiling face being swapped, and the battle mask is shown in the instructions, despite not being included with the actual toy.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends Class, 2016)

:''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'' Bumblebee is a Legends Class mold who transforms from a robot to car, with a vehicle mode based on his alt mode in ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars]]''. As with some of the ''Titans Return'' Legends Class figures, Bumblebee features an opening canopy for his cockpit, which allows any Titan Master figures to ride inside him. He also features 5mm-compatible hands, although the yellow piece can prevent any weapon's slightly longer posts to peg down through his hands. Also, take note that the vehicle back wings/shoulder kibble can sometimes block the way for wielding weapons; however the shoulder parts can be swapped for better tolerance, but prevents him from fully transforming into vehicle mode. Oddly, his molded license plate reads "100 STRA" which is a variation of his movie counterpart's "900 STRA" plate.

:Although the instructions tell [[you]] to immediately swing down the chest/vehicle roof to his shoulders/vehicle rear, you have to give a slight opening gap on the shoulder parts in vehicle form before you swing the roof piece down, and squeeze the shoulders against the piece until it clicks properly (make sure the rear vehicle's pegs and the shoulder's rectangle holes are in place first). Take note that the tail-end of the chest/roof hinge piece is prone to paint chipping due to the friction between both hinged vehicle rear pieces.

:This mold was also used to make [[Chase (G1)#Generations|Roadburn]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe Class, [[2020]])
**''TakaraTomy ID number:'' '''WFC-09'''
**''TakaraTomy release date:'' [[January 20]], [[2021]]
**''Accessories:'' Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk/shield

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' Deluxe Class toys, promoting the ''Earthrise'' season of [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|the Netflix cartoon]], Bumblebee is a retool of [[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'']] [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], having all of the original figure's vehicle mode parts replaced with those of a [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] Volkswagen Beetle without the "penny racer" proportions, along with a new head sculpt. (It's also worth noting that almost ''all'' of Bumblebee's yellow coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare yellow plastic, which avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode.) On both of his ends, the bumpers/fenders are made of soft rubbery plastic. Bumblebee also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail carried over from a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Much like Cliffjumper's other mold-mates, Bumblebee's depiction as being rather small in most ''Transformers'' media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bumblebee includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Bumblebee's neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation. The housing has also been updated for seemingly no reason, with a taller "collar" section compared to Cliffjumper and Hubcap.

:The rest of his price-point is made up for with Cliffjumper's bazooka, now painted in slightly darker gunmetal color and lacking the paint on the rear piece. The entire cannon can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his front wheels. The backend of the cannon folds out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed. It can also mount on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Unlike his mold-mates, 5 mm port holes are absent in Bumblebee's vehicle parts, meaning displaying the bazooka in vehicle mode requires the rear of the car mode to be transformed differently so the car trunk post has space to flip out and connect to the back-end of the cannon.

: Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car back-end can either be put onto the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other. Also unlike his mold-mates, the pegs that connect the car trunk with the robot fists in vehicle mode are now complete circles instead of half circles. These larger pegs are a very tight fit in the fists; detaching the trunk requires using excessive force on a small, thin, painted plastic piece. Filing or sanding the pegs down can make transformation more feasible.

:[[For safety reasons|As per the norm]], the stock renders depict him with sharp head-horns, but the final product has them rounded off.

: Much like the rest of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline, promoting the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|Netflix-original series]] of the same name, Bumblebee is exclusive to [[Walmart]] in Canada and the US but was released at standard retail in Asia.

: His G1 cartoon-accurate blaster is sold separately as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' [[Centurion droid#Toys|Deluxe Centurion Drone Weaponizer Pack]]. However, there is no way to store this blaster while Bumblebee is in vehicle mode.

: The original Cliffjumper version of the mold was given two new head toolings to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]] respectively, and was also given Bumblebee's head to make ''Selects'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)#Generations|Bug Bite]].

*'''Bumblebee / Spike Witwicky''' (Core Class, 2021)
**''Series'': '''''War for Cybertron Trilogy'''''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

:Part of the cross-franchise ''[[Buzzworthy Bumblebee]]'' subline, this iteration of ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' Bumblebee is a Core Class mold that converts from a robot into a car based upon [[Bumper (G1)#The Transformers|Bumper]]'s [[Choro-Q]] {{w|Mazda Familia}} alt-mode (complete with rear plate detailing!). He comes with a cartoon-inspired blaster that he holds via 3 mm post which stores in his vehicle mode's rear underside.

:Bumblebee also comes with a (minimally-)transforming [[Exosuit#War for Cybertron Trilogy|exosuit]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Buzzworthy|Spike Witwicky]] figure, although the exosuit features a silver-painted head dome with no indications of whoever may be inside, making it more a generic exosuit figure than any specific human character. This raised the MSRP from Core Class's normal ten to fifteen US dollars, though some Target stores seemingly at random charged ''seventeen'' for the set. Despite the store exclusivity, the set became a [[shelfwarmer|pegwarmer]], often leaving entire pegs full of unsold stock.

:Much like the rest of the ''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'' toys, the box is in the style of the 2018 ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' toyline, with additional renders of the [[evergreen]] Bumblebee design. Additionally, the toy features ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Kingdom]]''-style [[package art]] with the ''War for Cybertron'' logo present.

:''Buzzworthy Bumblebee'''s second all-new mold, "Origin Bumblebee" is a diminutive Deluxe Class figure, once again branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy''. For the first time in toy form, Bumblebee transforms into the "flying saucer" vehicle seen in "[[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1]]" in 23 steps. 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 comic series]] and the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' animated series.

:As part of the ''War for Cybertron'' play pattern, Bumblebee features multiple 5 mm ports and 3 mm posts compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]] and [[Fire Blast effect|"fire blast" effects]]. Being a modern, smaller-scale Deluxe Class figure, Bumblebee includes multiple accessories to fill out the price point, consisting of a 5 mm handheld blaster, five [[conductor#Toys|conductor rods]] as seen in "More than Meets the Eye, Part 1", and a [[jet pack#Buzzworthy Bumblebee|jet pack]] as seen in "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]".

**''Pieces'': '''9'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster

: Part of the first wave of ''Transformers [[Hero Mashers]]'' basic Action Figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. His robot mode takes many design cues from his Deluxe Class ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]] [[Thrilling 30]]'' toy. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: His left forearm was [[redeco]]ed to make [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Cliffjumper]]'s arm in the [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Battle Upgrade Bulkhead]] set.

**''Accessories'': Jetpack, axe/missile launcher, 2 "Dino Claw Missiles", buzzsaw, 2 twin-blasters

: Part of a "Team Pack" with [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Strafe]], this release of Bumblebee is basically identical to his individual release, but lacking his silver blaster. Instead, he can be equipped with any of the pack's various accessories (which can be argued also belonging to Strafe but whatever), including a winged jetpack and a spring-loaded "Dino Claw Missile" launcher that doubles as an axe. The spare missile can be pegged to any standard ''Hero Mashers'' peg-hole, though it sits pretty shallowly.

: There are two different releases of this set, each one containing the same parts, but arranged differently. One has Strafe much more visibly pulled apart, with the resulting part-spread meaning the jetpack ends up hidden under the packaging photo on the lower-left corner under Bumblebee's feet.

:Another release of the 2014 ''Universe'' sculpt, this version's deco is a hybrid between the [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] release of the sculpt and the ''Transformers'' release from 2012: The Autobot insignia is placed on the chest/roof again (like on the ''Dark of the Moon'' version), but the "running boards" on the sides of the vehicle mode are still unpainted (like on the 2012 release). The toy also now sports a large "CE" mark and number on the soles of its feet, declaring the toy meets European product safety requirements. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Bumblebee/Blazemaster two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Universe'' Bumblebee's packaging and only slightly altered, sporting a highly inaccurate deco and even advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the sculpt's 2012 release's deco.
:[[File:Transformers-2014-Legion-Class-Bumblebee-packaging-variants.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|left|2014 packaging left, 2015 packaging right.]]

:Legion Class Bumblebee has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] replaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. In addition, the version with a black insignia was later re-released in 2015, this time in packaging mimicking the then-current ''Generations'' packaging design, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia, and even returned to discount stores like Five Below and 99 Cents Only in the US in 2020.

[[File:Bumble Bee Masterpiece.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I've been all around the world, seen all the sights; but this is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.]]
*'''Bumble''' ([[November 29]], [[2014]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-21'''
**''Accessories'': "Laser Gun" pistol, rear-view mirrors, [[Exosuit#Masterpiece|Excelsuit]], spare tire cover, license plate, neutral face, smiling face, "Battle Face" ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Bumble transforms into an officially-licensed Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his cartoon model. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]] in robot mode (making his car mode very out of proportions with the other ''Masterpiece'' cars), and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Bumblebee lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, following the trend started with [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Wheeljack]], his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. Accurate to the real-life Type 1 Beetle, he only has one mirror, on the driver's side; an extra is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with his gun (called ''Lazer Gun'' {{sic}} in the instructions), a second interchangeable face with [[Hot Shot (Armada)/toys#Armada|an open-mouth smile]] to replace his regular neutral face, and a spare tire cover that can be plugged on the rear of his vehicle mode by pulling away the license plate, which then fits inside the cover. The cover mounts on his back in robot mode; indeed, it only ''exists'' in order to replicate the large yellow circle on the back of Bumblebee's [[character model]], a visual adaptation of some molded circular detail on his original toy. Illustrating its non-essential vehicle mode role, it can also be stored out of view on the car's underside.

:To make up for the smaller size of Bumblebee when compared to other figures in the Masterpiece line (and to keep up with the price tag), MP-21 comes with an Exosuit figure, which can transform into its vehicle mode as seen in ''The Movie''. The figure itself is referred to only as "Excelsuit" (the Japanese G1 dub name) on the instruction book, but according to the line-art included in ''The Transformers Masterpiece Official Guide'', it's supposed to be [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Daniel Witwicky]], though the back of the box refers to it as Spike.

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]], one additionally gets an interchangeable "Battle Face" based on the original G1 toy's one. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the face. The coin package is shaped like his head, and identifies him as "Bumblebee Autobot".

**''ID number:'' '''MP-21G'''
**''Accessories'': Laser gun, spare left-side rearview mirror, 3-piece jetpack, spare tire cover, "normal" and "smile" extra faces

:A redeco of ''Masterpiece'' Bumble in [[#Generation 2|shiny ''Generation 2'' gold]], this version does not come with an Exosuit figure. Instead, he comes with a three-piece jetpack, as worn by Bumblebee in the cartoon episode "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1]]". The toy-inspired "battle face" from the normal version's Amazon Japan special release is included as the default face, along with the two cartoon-based faces from the original release.

: He also comes with an extra [[sticker|sticker sheet]] for customization. The sheet includes both Generation 1 and ''Generation 2'' style Autobot insignias in two different sizes, two yellow ''Generation 2'' style "AUTOBOT" logos (as was stamped on the original toys), ''180 Deceps'' and ''I♥Cybertron'' (from his appearance in the [[The Planet-Eater!|Marvel Comics adaptation of ''Transformers: The Movie'']]), and the "'''I♥NY'''" license plate decal as seen in the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]".

:The non-Japanese Asian market version came with a special collector's coin. The coin package is once again shaped like Bumblebee's head (with the "battle face" faceplate on the front), but actually identifies him as Goldbug. Go figure.

*'''Cybertron Espionage Bumble (Ver. 2.0)''' ([[November 23]], [[2019]])
**''ID number:'' '''MP-45'''
**''Accessories'': 2 faces, firing effect, small blaster, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#MP45|Spike Witwicky]] figure, I (heart) NY license plate

:This ''Masterpiece'' "Cybertron Espionage" is an all-new mold of the Bumble character, transforming from robot into a show-and-toy-accurate Penny Racer-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He comes with his handgun, now with its own blast effect, 2 faces, a license plate from the episode "[[City of Steel (episode)|City of Steel]]", and a small posable figure of Spike, which can fit in his vehicle mode. While the car mode can be displayed with the doors open, sitting the mini-figure in requires separating its front halves and folding up the windscreen+car hood assembly. Like the other ''Masterpiece'' Autobot cars, Bumble can fit in Convoy's (MP-10 and [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP44|MP-44]]) Trailer. Bumble comes with a sheet of optional stickers: Two hearts for his license plate, the ice cream splotches for his shoulders seen in "[[Child's Play (episode)|Child's Play]]", the brown [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|disease patches]] seen in "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]", and the [[Morphobot]] tentacle seen in "[[Quest for Survival]]".

:Unfortunately, due to the sake of show-accuracy, this Bumblebee ends up having most of his kibble present on his rear ankles and a glaring backpack when viewed at any angle other than his front, which also collides with his lower waist, effectively neutering the usage of his waist swivel.

:After the official images' reveal, Hasbro requested a number of sites (including a few listings like Amazon Japan) to take down the pictures, until they were allowed to post them again, several hours later. Initially set for a late September release, Bumblebee was pushed back to [[November 24|late November]].

:Bumble comes with a die-cast token modeled after the Matrix of Leadership, and like the collector coins, the token had Bumblebee's head, the ''Masterpiece'' logo and the ID number engraved on it. Strangely enough, the box used for imported releases omits Bumble's name and just refers him as "Cybertron Espionage" while the box itself retains Bumble's (Japanese) name.

:Produced as a collaboration between toylines ''[[Diablock|Nanoblock]]'' and ''[[Choro-Q]]'', this Bumblebee is a building block toy providing pieces to build both Bumblebee's super deformed robot mode and, separately, his car mode (or something else, given it's blocks and all). His car mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Bumblebee kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a yellow and black theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

:Released in conjunction with Japanese cellphone maker au,<ref>[http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/product_release/pdf/p170201.pdf TakaraTomy au x Transformers Project press release]</ref> ''au x Transformers'' INFOBAR Bumblebee is a retool of the same line's [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#au x Transformers|INFOBAR Optimus Prime]], with a new head and decoed in black and yellow.

:The INFOBAR figures celebrate 15 years since the 2002 au Design Project that resulted in the INFOBAR cellphone, as well as the 10th anniversary of the [[Live-action film series|live-action films]]. He transforms into a (non-functional) scaled-down replica of the 2002 au INFOBAR, and in lieu of cellphone functions, the figure can be paired via Bluetooth with a smartphone, such as an iPhone, to act as a notification alarm in either robot or INFOBAR mode. The screen is also non-functional, but pre-printed cards are included which can be slid into the screen to show an Autobot logo, Decepticon logo, a mockup of a cellphone home screen, or a technical "Transformers INFOBAR" design. The figure also includes a display stand.

:The project was crowdfunded through Japanese crowdfunding site Makuake.<ref>[http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/01/31/transformers-x-au-transforming-phones-launch-crowdfunding-campaign-332289 Transformers x au Transforming Phones Launch Crowdfunding Campaign at TFW2005.com]</ref> Both Bumblebee and Megatron could only be obtained by contributing 16,200 yen to the project to receive a package of all three INFOBAR figures; at the 5,400 yen level, contributors received only INFOBAR Optimus Prime. The project received one million yen in the first 24 hours, ultimately topping out at over 32 million yen.

In just four steps, he changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a car reminiscent of his [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] iteration, and he features ''very'' limited articulation consisting of his head and his shoulders.

*'''Bumblebee''' ("Legion Class" reissue, 2018)

: Part of the first wave of the ''[[Vintage G1]]'' line, Bumblebee is a nearly-identical reissue of ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' Bumble, using the newly tooled head introduced in ''[[#The Transformers Collection|The Transformers Collection]]'' and also sharing many of the deco alterations.

:The differences between the ''Encore'' and ''Vintage G1'' versions include:
:#The screw in the center of Bumblebee's back; now replaced with a pin, much like the original toy. This is also likely down to [[Hasbro]]'s current stance on using pins in place of screws as much as possible.
:#He has extra production information tampographed on the sole of his right foot—something that has become fairly common on ''Transformers'' products that wasn't around during his last reissue.
:#The original sticker detail on the back of his head has also returned, whereas the ''Encore'' version had a [[rubsign]] placed there instead. This also happens to be the only ''Vintage G1'' Minibot to not have a rubsign.

: Despite these differences from the original, card still displays the original toy-based package art. Of particular note is that this is the first ever release of this figure that's identified on its packaging as being an "official licensed product" approved by Volkswagen.

:Like all ''Vintage G1'' figures, Bumblebee was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada. He was also available at general retail in Hong Kong, and exclusive to the website of Australian fashion chain Cotton On. Oddly, the Australian release came in [[multilingual packaging]] intended for the European market, a rare but not entirely unheard of occurrence. Due to the limited space on the back, this, unfortunately, means the iconic [[Tech Spec]] card is omitted, replaced by parental warnings in 24 languages about the possibility of breakage due to excessive force, and that parts are not designed to reattach. In Singapore, Bumblebee was released as a giveaway for their screenings of the [[Bumblebee (film)|''Bumblebee'' live-action movie]].

[[File:Bumblebeekre-otrailer.jpeg|thumb|upright=1.66|He hates Stiffly Stiffersons. He wants to prank them for hours in his basement.]]

'Sup! He's '''Bumblebee'''! Do you know how radical Bumblebee is? Pretty freakin' radical, man! He's always cruising the highways at dangerous speeds, pulling pranks, finding sweet [[human]] parties where he can headbang to some loud music, and of course pounding Decepticons. [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] sends him on as many missions as possible in order to curtail his unsolicited rebuilding of other people's bricks, but really there's no stopping him. Bumblebee is an unstoppable pranking monster on a constant bender.

==Fiction==
===''Kre-O'' cartoon===
Bumblebee participated with Optimus Prime in a tag battle against [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (Kre-O)|Starscream]]. {{storylink|Last Bot Standing}} Bumblebee performed in a robot dance competition and despite a phenomenal performance, the judges, Megatron, [[Shockwave (Kre-O)|Shockwave]] and [[Thundercracker (Kre-O)|Thundercracker]] gave him horrible scores in a blatant show of favoritism towards Bumblebee's fellow competitor, Starscream. {{storylink|Bot Stars}}

Cruising around one day, Bumblebee and his driver encountered another driver who tried to impress them with his hydraulic suspension. Bumblebee responded by transforming and showing off his breakdancing moves. They left the other driver staring open-mouthed, but at the next intersection, they encountered Starscream. {{storylink|My Ride Is Better than Your Ride}} Bumblebee took part in a race, running almost neck-and-neck with Megatron as they entered a tunnel. Starscream was waiting at the other end of the tunnel with a boulder, but Bumblebee transformed, stopping at the last minute, and the boulder hit Megatron instead. Stepping over the pieces of his foe, Bumblebee gave Starscream a cheery wave and ran the rest of the way to the finish line, only to find that Optimus Prime had already won the race. {{storylink|The Big Race}}

During the holiday season, Optimus and [[Sideswipe (Kre-O)|Sideswipe]] sneaked a ''Kre-O'' Bumblebee set into Megatron's pile of presents, all so Bumblebee could surprise him with a festive punching. {{storylink|A Gift For Megatron}} Bumblebee ran over Megatron outside the [[Kre-O Museum]]. {{storylink|Megatron's Revenge}}

Optimus, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Kre-O)|Wheeljack]] were acting as security at the [[Autobot City Bank]] when [[Spinister (Kre-O)|Spinister]], [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Scorponok (Kre-O)|Scorponok]] attempted to rob it. When the Decepticons called in [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]], Bumblebee fruitlessly whistled for backup, but the three Autobots were victims of Devastator's wrecking ball before anyone else turned up. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 1}} When Prime and Bumblebee caught up with Megatron, he was using the stolen energon to make a grilled cheese sandwich. After arranging for a distraction, they commandeered his weapon and used it to explode the sandwich and him as well. {{storylink|Quest for Energon, Part 2}}

Bumblebee took part in a game of soccer. His penalty kick was blocked when the Constructicons merged into [[Devastator (Kre-O)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Ultimate Defender}} He and Optimus were stuck in detention by [[Dr. Mayhem]]. The pair switched to their transparent forms in an attempt to escape, but were caught. They were only freed when [[Spock]] had Mayhem transported to an alien planet. {{storylink|Detention Escape}}

Bumblebee participated in an enormous battle against the Decepticons, where he was blown to pieces by a stray shot. Despite insisting that he was okay, Optimus swore to avenge Bumblebee and went on a rampage... until he noticed the audience and begun talking about the plot of the [[live-action film series]] to them. Bumblebee interjected a few times during Optimus's speech, and operated the pyrotechnics during the whole presentation. The fighting resumed when a pizza was delivered to the battlefield. {{storylink|Take Us to the Movies}} {{storylink|Take Us Through the Movies}}

Optimus and Bumblebee came upon a battleground with their respective Mini Kreons in tow. Optimus combined with his Mini Kreons, and charged in, prompting Bumblebee to try and do the same. Unfortunately, during his transformation, Bumblebee's gun got stuck in the branches of a nearby tree. Attempting to get it out only managed to get more of his things stuck in the tree... until Bumblebee and all his Mini Kreons were entangled in the branches. Optimus then stumbled back, asking where Bumblebee was when he needed him. Bumblebee's weight caused the tree to collapse on his leader, and Megatron declared himself victorious over the Autobots. {{storylink|Stuck in a Tree}}

For some reason, Bumblebee and [[Drift (Kre-O)|Drift]] were on an auto dealer's lot, and they both competed to be bought by a customer. This led to a fight. {{storylink|Kre-O Cars}}

===''Kre-O'' comic===
Bumblebee was one of the [[Autobot]]s who left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in the ''[[Ark (Kre-O)|Ark]]'' in search for energy blocks to alleviate their hunger. Thanks to the boarding of the ''Ark'' by [[Decepticon]]s, the ''Ark'' crashed and the [[Transformer]]s fell into a four million year-long sleep. They woke up to a world filled with blocks. {{storylink|Kreon Story}} When [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] attempted to steal all of the blocks of Earth with his Mega-Megatron creation, Bumblebee was one of the three Autobots who stopped the menace by building a jail for Mega-Megatron. However, Bumblebee had to watch as his leader, [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]] took a tumble off the jail! {{storylink|Defend the Blocks! Autobots, Dispatch!}}

While out shopping for Optimus, Bumblebee spotted a [[Bulldog (Kre-O)|dog]] soon to be run over by a [[Arkeville (Kre-O)|crazed driver]]! Bumblebee rushed to the rescue and made the car block transform into Mega-Bumblebee, who saved the dog. With some cunning, Bumblebee managed to get Optimus's permission to keep the dog. {{storylink|Bumblebee! The Gentle-Hearted Autobot Warrior}} He was holding the dog when Megatron called Optimus to come attack the Decepticon Base. After the attack, Bumblebee joined the subsequent gathering in the Decepticon base. {{storylink|A Reliable Warrior!? Vortex the Lookout from Hell}}

Bumblebee went on a picnic with the other Autobots and was shocked to find Optimus Prime brought a bunch of captured Decepticons as well. {{storylink|Emergency! Hurry to the Base, Optimus!}} He then got caught up in attacks on the [[Metroplex (Kre-O)|Autobot base]] construction site by first [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] {{storylink|A New Menace! The Giant Soldier Devastator Appears!}} and later [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Behemoth Combination! But They're Cute? The Predacon Unit}} After the base was completed, Bumblebee was in his room trying to decide what parts to wear when the Decepticons attacked again. {{storylink|Two Giant Bases! Everybody Getting Along, Come On, Fight!}} At some point later the base was attacked by Devastator, Predaking, ''and'' [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], so Bumblebee called the [[Aerialbot (Kre-O)|Aerialbots]] for help. {{storylink|Kre-O Micro-Changers Combiners comic}}

Bumblebee was tasked with carrying Optimus Prime's head around after the Decepticons stole his body, then ran away in fear after said body became an [[Alligaticon]]. {{storylink|Negligence Is the Greatest Enemy! Optimus Became a Monster!?}} Arriving at the site where the Decepticons were supposedly building a solar tower, Bumblebee and Prime just found their enemies buried in a pile of bricks. {{storylink|Megatron's Ambition!? The Solar Tower Is Built!}} Together with a bunch of other Kreons, Bumblebee was transported to an [[Earth|alien world of giants]] in a [[space bridge]] accident. After getting freaked out by a local cat and fighting the Decepticons, he ended up getting built into the rocket they used to get back home. {{storylink|Robots in Disguise!

Bumblebee is one of several members of the [[Silver Knight (Kre-O)|Silver Knights]], a collection of renaissance festival enthusiasts. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/27}}

==Commercial appearances==
Bumblebee was part of an epic battle in a desert against the Decepticons. He managed to land a solid punch on Megatron's face, and did all sorts of fancy acrobatics to get to Megatron as the Decepticon dodged Optimus's missiles. He also allowed Optimus to ride atop of his vehicle mode so he could snag Starscream out of the air. {{storylink|Commercial#Kre-O|KRE-O TRANSFORMERS Online Exclusive commercial}} When the narrator pointed out that the Transformers' battles had never been bigger, Bumblebee's Kreon pointed out that they never had been small either, and kicked Starscream's Kreon over, reducing him to pieces. {{storylink|Commercial#Kre-O|KRE-O TRANSFORMERS teaser trailer}}

===''Kre-O Transformers Konquest''===
The Autobots' peaceful day in [[Kreopolis]] was shattered when the city was bombarded by the Decepticons, and a number of Autobots including Bumblebee were shattered into their component blocks. Yellow Autobot blocks began raining from the sky, and Optimus Prime's [[Kreon]] ran around dodging bombs and gathering them up so he could rebuild Bumblebee. Afterwards, Bumblebee dropped him back off at the battlefield to gather up more Autobot pieces. {{storylink|Kre-O Transformers Konquest}}

Bumblebee met up with Optimus on Cybertron, and the two of them set out to infiltrate the Decepticons' base in order to retrieve the Optimus Prime Kre-O kit parts. As they proceeded, Bumblebee stumbled into a Decepticon trap and was captured. Bumblebee was kept in secure by electrical fields and guarded by two Starscreams until Optimus and Sentinel Prime came to his rescue. Using his hacking skills, Bumblebee tapped into many computer terminals so that the mission could proceed. Sometimes Ratchet needed to help him first by fixing the terminals. Eventually, the Autobots made it inside the Decepticon base, spread out and acquired the kit parts, which were assembled by Ratchet. {{storylink|Kreon Chaos}}

* '''Bumblebee''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''36421'''
** ''Pieces'': '''336'''
** ''Kreons'': Bumblebee, [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]], Driver
** ''Accessories'': Missile, pistol (K100708), rifle (K100727)

: The larger Bumblebee Kre-O kit is loosely based on the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee of the live-action films]], with the face of the [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 character]]. He rebuilds into a sports car that can seat two [[Kreon]] figures, and has a spring-loaded missile launcher.

: He comes with three Kreons; a Bumblebee based very much on the Generation 1 Bumblebee, [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]], and an unnamed "Driver" with black hair and a gray shirt who we guess is meant to kinda sorta be a [[Sam Witwicky]]-like dude if you squint.

* '''Bumblebee''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''31144'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[March 20]] 2013'''
**''Pieces'': '''74'''

: The smaller Bumblebee Kre-O kit is loosely based on the [[Bumblebee (G1)|original Bumblebee]], with a head that's a straight copy of that Bumblebee's ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' toy head. He can be rebuilt into a hatchback and comes with no Kreons. Since his vehicle mode is basically a solid brick that can't hold any Kreons, this isn't such a big thing.

: The "[[Stealth Bumblebee]]" set comes with a predominantly-black version of Bumblebee that rebuilds into a sports car capable of carrying a single Kreon. His right arm ends in a rotating barrel, simulating a built-in blaster-arm.

: The accompanying Bumblebee Kreon is based on the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'' version of the character. He lacks a right hand, instead having a clear-blue cylinder that slips over the cuff, simulating an arm-blaster. He uses the [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Ironhide]] helmet and the [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Prowl]] door-wing backpack. Like most of the 2012 sets, Bumblebee comes with his own extra clear "Energon" torso piece. This piece was apparently intended to feature the Bumblebee tampographs at some point, but like all of the extra torsos in this year's assortment, it's been been left unimpressively blank.

: The [[Autobot Command Center]] playset includes a Bumblebee Kreon, again based on ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]], only this time his tampographs are a bit more detailed. In lieu of the arm cannon, Bee has access to a variety of weapons stored on a weapons rack.

: The set also comes with ''Prime''-style Kreons of [[Arcee (WFC)#CommandCenter|Arcee]], [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#CommandCenter|Optimus Prime]], [[Ratchet (WFC)#CommandCenter|Ratchet]], [[Shockwave (Kre-O)#CommandCenter|Shockwave]], and "secret" Kreon [[Knock Out (Prime)#CommandCenter|Knock Out]], who was unnamed and shown only in silhouette on the packaging. The set also included a brick-built [[Rippersnapper (Prime)#CommandCenter|Rippersnapper]] beast.

* '''Kreon Figure Pack''' (2013)

: A boxed set of five Kreons, with "G1" Bumblebee, [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Red Alert]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Mirage]], [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Jazz]] and a fifth "mystery" Kreon; a randomly-packed robot Kreon from the first year of the line.

**''Set number'': '''A6087'''
**''Pieces'': '''40'''
**''Accessories'': Rack, rifle, large gun, axe, [[jet pack|rocket-pack]]

: Part of the first assortment of "Custom Kreons", this version of Bumblebee comes with a buildable parts rack on which to hang/store his many many extra pieces. His [[tampograph]]s are much more heavily-detailed than the original Kreon, based on the [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Bumblebee toy]]. His "normal" helmet and large rifle are [[chrome]]d, plus he comes with an extra clear-plastic helmet, torso and legs. He also has a pair of extra arms (originally from the ''Kre-O Battleship'' aliens), plus a buildable hand-cannon, rocket-pack and energon axe.

: Bumblebee's tampos were also used to make Custom Kreon [[Cliffjumper (Kre-O)#Custom|Cliffjumper]].

[[File:KreO-toy Bumblebee Class84.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Not gonna argue with extra pieces, but... still. Weird.]]
*'''Kreon Class of 1984''' (Kreon figure set, 2014)
**''Set number'': '''B0090'''
**''Voted'': Best Spark
**''Accessories'': Scoped pistol

: This version of Bumblebee has much more toy-based [[tampograph]]s than his prior version, including a visored-and-masked face. He uses the [[Prowl (Kre-O)|Prowl]] style door-wings, which is really odd considering the toy he's based on does not have said feature.

:He was only available in the "[[Kreon Class of 1984]]", a pack of 30 Kreons featuring (mostly) ''Transformers'' characters from 1984. This set was made for sale at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2014. Remaining stock ''was'' to be sold at [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online, but it sold out at the convention.

**''Set number'': '''A9370'''
**''Kreons'': Bumblebee, [[Evac (Ride)#Universal4pack|Evac]], [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#Kre-O|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Universal4pack|Optimus Prime]]
**''Accessories'': Blaster

:Available exclusively at the gift shop for "[[Transformers: The Ride – 3D]]" at [[Universal|Universal Studios]] theme parks, this set features a Bumblebee Kreon based on the first three live-action movies, aka "the version of Bumblebee that there's a giant costumed performer of at the park that guests can get their pictures taken with".

: In 2015(?), a new production run of the set was made using the revamped 2015-style Kreon bodies, among a few other small changes, including sharper tampographs with thinner linework.

: While some of the other park-exclusive toys and merchandise can be purchased through Universal's online store, the Kreon 4-pack is ''only'' available at the park proper at the time of this writing. So uh, good luck.

{{-}}{{anchor|BrickBox}}
[[File:KreO-toy Bumblebee BrickBox.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Brace yourselves. For this set... you have to... ''use your imagination''. We know. It'll be okay.]]
*'''Brick Box''' (2015)
**''Set number'': '''B2962'''
**''Pieces'': '''77'''
**''Accessories'': Scoped pistol

: Sold only at discount chains like Family Dollar, this version of Bumblebee uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes the torso incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. Nice. His face tampograph is new, but his torso uses the "Class of '84" deco.

: The set comes with two bags of Kre-O parts, one coming from the first-year large Bumblebee (mostly all the small bits and the now-useless neck joint), the other "new" with some basic bricks and plates, as well as a set of axles, rims and tires. The set has no instructions, as it's just a box of bricks to makes whatever with.

**''Accessories'': Blaster, stasis pod

He carries an [[Andorian]] blaster pistol from the ''Kre-O [[Star Trek]]'' line. He uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons.

: His massive vehicle, based on the character's vehicle mode, features a pop-up launcher in its trunk section, which fires plastic rings via pressure-launch. There is ''just'' enough space behind the windshield to seat a Kreon, though their noggin will stick out just a bit through a hole in the roof. The set also comes with a "[[Stasis pod#Aligned continuity family|stasis cell]]", used to imprison Kreons and kept shut with a rubber band.

:Like the rest of the ''Robots in Disguise'' building sets, these sets were not released at normal retail in the US.

He also has a clip-on cannon, a sniper rifle, a blaster pistol, and a chromed axe.

:Despite what the instructions say, the body piece cannot be pegged down between the leg parts installed on the display stand. However this can be amended by putting a 2x1 plate piece there to "mount" the torso slightly higher.

Each character comes in three color sets (in theory): "Armor Up", "Blizzard Strike" and "Night Strike", using the same parts, though every version comes with a different facial expression.

: Be careful with the "Blizzard Strike" sets, as the clear-plastic clips used to secure the leg extensions are prone to cracking.

: Only six of the twelve sets shown have seen release: Bumblebee's "Night Strike" coloration appears to be cancelled.

**''Accessories'': Sword, shield, display stand

:Part of the first assortment of Kreon Warriors, Gladiator Bumblebee is an ancient-Roman-themed take on Bumblebee. He even has a set of "wooden" chariot wheels on his legs. Like all 2015-and-beyond Kreons, he uses the new-tooling body, leaving everything from the neck down incompatible with prior Kreon parts.

:Unfortunately, the Kreon Warriors all came in bags that completely lack any way to identify the contents, forcing buyers to use the "feel through the bag" method to determine what's inside.

:Like all Kreon Warriors, Gladiator Bumblebee was never released in the United States.

Like all of the Battle Changers, Bumblebee uses the new hip piece using larger balljoints, as previously used by the Galvatron Kreon from the Galvatron Factory Battle set.

:Like the first line of the Battle Changers, Bumblebee available in selected Asian countries since December 2014.
Strangely, the CG render of this product details a front windshield in place of Bumblebee's racing stripes, why it was removed is beyond us.

====Mini-Con Combiners====
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini-Con Combiners, <s>2015</s>)
**''Accessories'': Small pistol, scoped pistol, Andorian blaster, Cobra Commander pistol

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Bumblebee comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The torso-Kreon and one Mini-Con are based on versions of [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 Bumblebee]]: [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'']] (with an arm-cannon instead of a hand-held blaster, oddly) and [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|"Thrilling 30" Bumblebee]] (Prowl helmet) respectively. The remaining three Mini-Con Bumblebees are based on [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned" Bumblebee]] bodies: ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Transformers: War for Cybertron (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]'' (Bumblebee helmet), ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Prime cartoon|Prime]]'' (Ratchet helmet), and ''[[Bumblebee (WFC)#Rescue Bots cartoon|Rescue Bots]]'' (Jazz helmet).

**''Takara ID number:'' '''09'''
**''Accessories:'' "Acid pellet gun", left & right missile launchers, 3 "wire-guided missiles"

: Originally a ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Police Car Fairlady Z", Prowl was one of the original assortment of [[Autobot Cars]] released in 1984. He transforms into a {{w|Nissan 280ZX|Datsun 280ZX Turbo}} sports car (known in Japan as a "Fairlady Z") decorated in police car livery; the original figure featured the word "Diaclone" on the police badges that decorate his shoulders and chest, but these were naturally removed for the Transformers version of the toy. He is armed in robot mode with a silver-chromed hand-held [[Acid pellet|acid pellet gun]], and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers. The spring-loaded firing mechanism for these launchers was disabled by Hasbro, but remained intact on the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] release of the figure.

:In 1985, a heat-activated [[rubsign]] was added to the front of Prowl's hood. That same year, his [[Mexico|Mexican]] release featured a more startling variation: this release of the figure rendered his helmet, arms, and boots black, plus his "POLICE" decals became "POLICIA". There was also a widely available running change [[variant]] (or just factory error) that left out the black paint on his car hood.

:Prowl's toy has been [[Generation 1 reissues|reissued]] as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classic Heroes]]'' line in 1990, ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' in 2002, and the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' in 2003. See below for individual entries on these releases.

: This mold was retooled to create the simultaneously-released [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys|Bluestreak]], and again for [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys|Smokescreen]].

**''Accessories:'' Turbo Cycle, small cannon, 2 missiles, 2 engine intakes (left & right), shield/gas tank cover

: [[Action Master]] Prowl is a non-transforming action figure whose appearance is styled after his cartoon model, with a few toy-based liberties taken. Like all Action Masters, he can interact with all the line's vehicles and weapons; as part of the "Action Blasters Vehicles" assortment, Prowl came packaged with the [[Turbo Cycle (G1)|Turbo Cycle]], which transforms from motorcycle to a gun emplacement. An undocumented feature of the Turbo Cycle is that the lower front cowling assembly can be pegged into the screw hole on Prowl's back, allowing him to somewhat mimic the original Prowl figure's door-wing appearance.

:The original Prowl toy was first reissued in Europe alongside several other early Transformers, as part of the "[[Classics (Europe)|Classic Heroes]]" range. He is not entirely identical to the original, however: for reasons unknown, the ''Classics'' release of Prowl features the original ''Diaclone'' labels on his chest and shoulders, with the word "Diaclone" on his police badges, while his forehead crest, previously a pair of stickers, is now painted.

: ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' Prowl transforms from a lion into a robot, with his cat-butt turning into a "cyber tail claw" weapon. He is able to combine with [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Ironhide]] and [[Silverbolt (G1)#Beast Wars|Silverbolt]], his package buddies, into [[Magnaboss (BW)#Toys|Magnaboss]]. Prowl transforms into Magnaboss's head.

: This mold was used to make [[Lio Junior#Toys|Lio Junior]].

:The Magnaboss toy included no information about its three components beyond their names. The character was established by [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] to be Generation 1 Prowl in [[2007]]'s ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]''. By contrast in [[2021]], the ''[[Transformers: Earth Wars|Earth Wars]]'' mobile game opted to depict lion Prowl as a separate individual from police car Prowl.

: Sharing a mold with ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Machine Wars|Mirage]], Prowl transforms into a Penske PC-18 Indycar, and converts to robot mode with a spring-loaded, one-step transformation. His rifle-halves store in his legs in car mode. He —and the entire ''Machine Wars'' line— was available only at [[KB Toys]] stores.

: Prowl's usual function is "strategist", but, in this first non-police car form he is described as "chief of security". The "BOYC" sticker is likely a nod to Hasbro employee [[John Boyce]].<ref>https://twitter.com/BFSAndrew/status/1393598140687785990 Andrew Franks on twtter</ref>

: This toy is [[gang-molding|gang-molded]] with the other three Basic molds in the line.

:Takara's first reissue of Prowl was the second installment in their ''[[The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, and was mostly identical to the original figure, save for a few small differences: the text on his hip stickers is changed to "2002 08" from the original's "2800 ZP", his rubsign is relocated from its original obtrusive spot at the front of his hood to just below his windshield (winding up on the back of his head in robot mode), and like the ''Classic Heroes'' version, his forehead crest is painted.

*'''Prowl''' (2003/2006)
**''Accessories:'' "Acid pellet gun", left & right missile launchers, 3 "wire-guided missiles"

:In 2003, Hasbro released their own reissue of the original Prowl toy as part of their [[Toys"R"Us]] [[exclusive]] ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series IV]]'' that was available in the United States, Canada, and Australia. This version of Prowl featured all the modifications made to the original toy for Takara's ''Transformers Collection'', and a few more besides. Like his mold-mate Bluestreak, released in the previous wave, Prowl's gun and missiles are cast in unchromed black plastic, and his missile launchers are once again disabled, in lieu of enlarging the missiles to the disproportionate length required [[for safety reasons]] (as was done for several other Commemorative figures). Where his original toy's launchers merely had their springs removed, leaving their trigger mechanisms intact to hold the missiles in place, this figure actually recasts the launchers as solid pieces with no triggers, into which the missiles are simply popped.

:In 2006, three years after the US release and long after the ''Commemorative Series'' had been discontinued by Toys"R"Us in America, Prowl and several other figures were released as Toys"R"Us exclusives in the United Kingdom. Unlike previous UK releases of ''Commemorative Series'' figures, the packaging for this batch was no longer [[multilingual packaging|multilingual]], but in English only. Despite this, the packaging was ''not'' identical to the previous US version; it lacked the "Commemorative Series", "classic re-issue", and "choking hazard" safety warning labels and all [[trademark]] ™ and ® markings, and moved the "Ages 5+" recommendation to a new position.

: Released in Wave 2 of ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'', this Prowl is the smallest possible transforming toy based upon the original Prowl toy. He faithfully reproduces the transformation sequence for the most part, but due to parts-cost limitations, he has little articulation, his legs cannot separate and his wheels do not roll.

: This mold was also used to make the ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' version of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys|Bluestreak]].

*'''Prowl''' (Alternator, 2005/2006)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''16'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-15'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, traffic direction baton aka "Blight Stick"

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Prowl transforms into a fully-licensed 1:24-scale {{w|Acura RSX}} with police lights, opening doors, hood and trunk. His engine becomes a (non-firing) gun, while a clear-plastic nightstick is hidden under his car mode rear section. He was among the last of the "red box" Alternators, but was included in new "white box" assortments in 2006. The "white box" version of Prowl has additional Acura logos on the rear of the car that the "red box" version did not have.

: For his standard Japanese ''Binaltech'' release, Prowl got a different vehicle mode deco based on a real Japanese police car (the [[Hasbro]] version's deco being based more on the original [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1 toy]]), a different spoiler mold, "Type R" rims compared to the ''Alternators'' version's "Type S" rims, right-side steering, a Japanese police cherry blossom emblem instead of an Acura logo, and gray plastic instead of stony-blue. He was also labeled as a "Honda Integra Type-R" on the packaging, the model's make in Japan.

: Multiple reports suggest that at least the ''Binaltech'' version suffers from a [[design flaw]]: The wing mirrors are simply ''glued'' onto the doors for whatever reason, and the glue is not particularly strong. Trying to open a door by pulling on the mirror could likely result in the mirror snapping off.

: At [[OTFCC 2004]], Hasbro stated that there was no Prowl ''Alternators'' toy in the works, but some other emergency vehicle (which got a chorus of boos). Considering the development schedule of ''Transformers'' toys, this was most likely referring to the fact that the Acura RSX sculpt was originally intended to be [[Red Alert (G1)/toys|Red Alert]], with a different head sculpt. Eventually, however, it was decided to release the toy as Prowl instead, even though the Subaru Impreza sculpt's robot mode had more resemblance to Generation 1 Prowl and the Acura RSX sculpt's robot mode had more resemblance to Generation 1 Red Alert. [[Control drawing]]s of the figure with the originally intended Red Alert head sculpt can be found in the Japanese ''[[Transformers Collection 2007]]'' book, among other places.

: Like [[Jazz (G1)/toys|Meister]], Prowl got two different ''Binaltech'' decos released in equal numbers. The second version, known as Vivid Blue Pearl Prowl, is a civilian version with no police lights, a mostly blue interior, a Honda logo (instead of the cherry blossom emblem) on the grill, and a solid blue car shell. His robot mode parts remained mostly the same color, however.

: This mold (the Japanese blue Prowl [[variant]], combined with parts from American police Prowl) was used to make ''Alternators'' [[Camshaft (G1)|Autobot Camshaft]]. This toy was also [[repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Prowl 2]].

: The [[Hasbro]] version of Prowl, using the Hasbro red box packaging, was supposed to have been released in Japan as an exclusive "[[USA Edition]]" to a satellite TV provider named Takarand. The only notable difference from the Hasbro version was the "Satellite Patrol" (spelled "satillite" in official preview photos) markings on his doors. It is unknown if this toy was ever actually released, however, as Takara changed owners around the same time.

His gun hides as his car mode's tailpipe. Originally only available at Kay-Bee stores in packaging with no sub-line markings, his entire assortment was later repackaged under the ''Universe'' banner and sold through "dollar store" chains like Family Dollar.

*'''Prowl''' (Deluxe Class, 2008)
**''Series'': '''Classic Series'''
**''Accessories'': Gun

: ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Prowl transforms into a modified {{w|Nissan 350Z}} similarly to Prowl's appearance in [[IDW Publishing]]'s [[2005 IDW continuity|Generation 1 comics]]. Like previous Generation 1 Prowl toys, his paint job is based upon that of a Japanese police car. The [[prototype]] and pre-production versions of Prowl featured a traditional American-style rectangular light bar, but the production toy features a swept-back modern light bar.

: Many buyers have reported that after repeated handling of the toy, the paint on the pieces of Prowl molded from translucent plastic (his doors, his roof, the sides of his hood and front bumper) quickly becomes sticky to the touch and begins to smear and rub off. Presumably, this owes something to the plastic and paint failing to bond properly, although what allowed the toy to leave factories with this flaw undetected is unknown. Sticky paint has not been reported on ''every'' Prowl; there is some suggestion that temperature and humidity play a role in whether or not it occurs. It has been suggested that the problem only affects the first run of Prowl figures, but sticky figures have been purchased at retail when the line was launched in Europe just over a month after its American debut. Also, on a lot of the UK release toys, all the pieces that are molded white plastic have a very faint pink tinge.

: This mold was redecoed for ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Streetwise (G1)#Timelines|Streetstar]] and retooled to make ''Universe'' [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Silverstreak]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Smokescreen]] and ''Timelines'' [[Rapido#Timelines|Rapido]]. The lightbar was also used for ''Universe'' [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Ratchet]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' [[Red Alert (G1)/toys#Generations|Red Alert]]. This toy also served as the model for the non-toy ''Shattered Glass'' incarnation of [[Prowl (SG)|Prowl]].

Initially canceled due to the end of the Titanium Series line, Hasbro eventually released this figure as a Toys"R"Us [[exclusive]] in the fall of 2008.

: The vehicle mode as pictured on the packaging for this toy contains two transformation errors (compared to the instructions). His toes (sticking up at the rear of the vehicle) should be folded back, revealing small red and blue emergency lights. Also, the left and right sides of the vehicle should be slid outwards, turning them into nacelles rather than integral parts of the main body.

Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to previous larger entries in this line, Prowl lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. There are some issues concerning aligning the car's roof onto the body of the figure. In order to properly attach the back/roof top of the mold, the mid chest panel located in front of the torso must be tilted slightly forward and attached to the small indentation under the figure's "car hood". This will allow the back frame to straighten and get the two pegs on the windshield to lock into the two slots at the back of the car hood.

: For accessories, he comes with his rifle, which can be held with his hands, or can mount onto a peg-hole on the back of his light-bar via the separate peg on its jointed handle. He also comes with a pair of built-in shoulder cannons, based on Bluestreak's cartoon character model's cannons, that can be deployed in robot mode. Prowl's [[instructions]] even feature a screencap from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|cartoon]] that depicts Prowl with the launchers; however, that is actually an [[animation error]] from [[More than Meets the Eye, Part 1|the very first episode]] that has Bluestreak (with his very distinctive head design) colored as Prowl.

: If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon.com]], one additionally gets a single non-firing toy-accurate missile launcher accessory, which can cover and replace either of his shoulder cannons, as well as tab onto the rear sides of his vehicle mode. If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the launcher. The coin itself is star-shaped, and comes in a package shaped like a police badge.

: This mold was redecoed and retooled each time into [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-18 Streak]] and [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|MP-19 Smokescreen]]. Streak and Prowl were to be released simultaneously, but Prowl was pushed back one month and Streak two months to meet demand.

:Part of the fourth wave of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe class toys, Prowl is a [[retool]] of [[Streetwise (G1)#Generations|Protectobot Streetwise]] sporting a new head. Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, he is able to form either an arm or leg for any ''Combiner Wars''-style Voyager Class figure or into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs but is, of course, was intended to combine to form [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Toys|Optimus Maximus]]. He is also officially associated with [[Betatron#Toys|Betatron]] and [[Magnaboss (BW)#Generations|Magnaboss]]. A sticker sheet was sold at [[BotCon 2016]] to enhance Prowl's resemblance to the [[#Beast Wars|original ''Beast Wars'' figure]]. Unlike Streetwise, the pegs on Prowl's legs seem to have signs of mold degradation, as the legs/vehicle rear had a small gap while they're attached together.

:Prowl comes packaged with the comic book "[[Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx in the U.S. at reduced prices with the collector card.

:This mold was originally heavily retooled from [[Dead End (G1)#Combiner Wars|Dead End]], was [[redeco]]ed as [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys#Generations|Smokescreen]], and was differently retooled as [[Dust Up#Generations|Dust Up]].

He has a chunkier design and is intended for a younger audience, but despite that he has an excellent range of poseability. His vehicle mode appears to be inspired by the deluxe version from ''Universe''. This figure was sold in the United States at Walgreens stores after being available in Latin American and Asian markets.

:The transformation seems to partially be based of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends figure. This figure was retooled into ''Cyber Series'' [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Cyber Series|Sideswipe]].

:Part of the second wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Deluxe Class figures, Prowl transforms from robot that is partially inspired by his [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Alternators|''Alternators'' toy]] into a Cybertronian police car. He includes a gun compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], as well as a detachable light bar. They can combine to form the "W-45 Acid Pellet Strikeblaster," as a blaster or an axe that he cannot actually hold like an axe. He also features multiple hardpoints to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions. Unlike most ''Siege'' figures, Prowl is basically spotless, with no battle damage paint applications anywhere on his body. Prowl is also noticeably smaller than most Deluxe scale figures in both modes, only just barely bigger than the original Scout size class.

:His car doors read "Police" in [[Alphabet#Autobot script|Autobot script]].

:This mold was retooled as ''Siege'' [[Barricade (IDW)#Toys|Barricade]], [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Smokescreen]], and [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Bluestreak]].

:Released in the Autobot Alliance two-pack with [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ironhide]] in the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' toyline, Prowl is a remold of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Bluestreak]] which is a remold of [[Smokescreen (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Smokescreen]] with a new face and front grill, transforming into a police car none-too-dissimilar from his original Datsun mode. ''Earthrise'' Prowl's transformation scheme shares many similarities to his ''Siege'' counterpart, but uses completely new parts. Prowl comes with a single blaster, but like the aforementioned figure does not include shoulder cannon accessories, although he can use the ones included with his moldmates.

:Prowl's head is a straight redeco from Bluestreak's rather than using his actual head design. If you desire however, similar to Optimus Prime of the same and previous lines, ''Earthrise'' Prowl's head can be (carefully) popped off and replaced with that of his ''Siege'' figure, giving him his proper head. In some cases, this might require a bit of sanding of the neck's ballpeg, especially considering some instances of the figure's neck ballpeg can be oversized even for the stock head. Two different variants of Prowl exist with slightly different knee joints, one of which adds a tiny tab of plastic to the inside of the kneecap and includes additional tabs behind the car hood to better secure the car mode.

:His shared map piece is the previously unknown Nebulon Station, next to a Dead Universe portal...

:This pack was exclusive to [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in the U.S. and Canada.

:Compared to the [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]], Prowl has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon: his white, grey, and black unpaintable parts are swapped, additional paint applications are featured on the feet, waist & flip-out chest, and his silver headlights are replaced with the same metallic blue from his windows. In addition, the shoulder badge from the [[#Toys|Generation 1 toy]] is also added on the hood.

==Notes==
* Prowl's ''[[Diaclone]]'' predecessor also came with additional, optional stickers that would identify him as being part of the police forces from existing Japanese cities, namely Tokyo, Sapporo, Sendai, Osaka, and Fukuoka. The original ''Transformers'' instruction booklet shows a visible ''Diaclone'' label sheet, complete with these optional stickers, which did not make it to the final product.
* Before creating [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]], Hasbro initially conceived the ''Beast Wars'' panther character as Prowl, with a potential head retool as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Notes|Optimus Prime]]. Elements of this plan ultimately manifested as the McDonald's toy character [[Panther]].<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CJC-i7cgfHR/ Hasbro document scan regarding Fold-Out Transformers, by Instagram user @roboticplanettoys</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CJE7ynpgIbp/ Hasbro document scan regarding Creature Auto Rollers, by Instagram user @roboticplanettoys</ref>
* Also in early ''Beast Wars'' planning, Hasbro conceptualized [[McDonald's]] toys of vehicular [[Auto Roller (G2)|Auto Roller]]s, including one of Prowl as a moon buggy<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CJIcRo5Aqym/ Hasbro document scan regarding Vehicle Auto Rollers, by Instagram user @roboticplanettoys</ref> perhaps paralleling the unreleased ''Generation 2'' [[APC Auto Roller]] ultimately used in Japan for ''Beast Wars II'' [[Autolauncher#Toys|Autolauncher]].
* ''Machine Wars'' Prowl's card-art is actually an altered version of the art for the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Laser Rod]] [[Jolt (G2)#Toys|Jolt]].
* The [[BotCon 2014]] redeco of [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Mirage]] almost became [[Prowl (MW)|''Machine Wars'' Prowl]], but it ended up being replaced by [[Mirage (G1)/toys#BotCon2013|''Machine Wars'' Mirage]].<ref>[http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14br.html BotCon 2014 attendee report]</ref>
