'''Seeds for the new Wreckers take root.'''

==Synopsis==
[[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]]'s boss, [[Pharma]], catches him reading datalog 113 of ''[[Wreckers: Declassified]]'' when he should be working and orders him to go check on a Fader. While going to check on [[Roulette (G1)|Roulette]], First Aid recalls the time when [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] contacted him asking for help with a special project. He is surprised when newly injured members of [[Dogfight]]'s recon team are brought into the medical ward. First Aid began carefully checking them all over, paying special attention to their Autobot [[insignia]]s, while everyone else is confused by his strange behavior. He finds something of interest on [[Dodger]] and excitedly tells him he has to operate immediately. First Aid contacts Springer letting him know what he found.

[[Rung]] treats the shell-shocked [[Flattop (Autobot)|Flattop]] and finds out that he is a [[Survivor (Babu Yar)|Survivor]] of the [[Babu Yar]] atrocity. He was given a new body like any Survivor who requested one, and assigned to [[Bluestreak (G1)|Silverstreak]]'s group. On his first mission after recovering from Babu Yar, Flattop saw the [[Shimmer]], which completely pushed him over the edge, and was why he was being treated by Rung now. As Rung gave Flattop scientific and psychoanalytical explanations for the Shimmer, Flattop dies right there in his office.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
[[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]] is questioned by the [[Ethics Committee]] regarding his invention of [[cerebro-sensitive bullet]]s. The committee comes to the conclusion that use of the bullets would constitute a war crime, and orders him to surrender the bullets within 36 hours. On the way out, he runs into [[Skyfall (G1)|Skyfall]], who's impressed by his restrained reaction to the Committee confiscating his work. [[Brainstorm]] arrives, bringing his latest development, the [[Malevolent Counterintuitive Pathogen]], before the committee, Ironfist and Skyfall aren't quite sure if he's kidding as they head back to the lab.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
On [[Hydrus 5]], [[Pyro]] and [[Afterburner (G1)|Afterburner]] survey the wrecked planet, newly freed from the threat of the Decepticons. Afterburner complements Pyro on his bravery before speeding off, just before Pyro finds himself experiencing The Shimmer.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
Springer stands on the command deck of the ''[[Debris]]'', mulling over Agent 113's report, retrieved from a slug lodged in Dodger's Autobot insignia. The report warns of recent happenings at the [[Garrus-9]] penal colony. With it in mind, Springer is deciding on who to invite to join the [[Wrecker]]s.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
[[Guzzle (G1)|Guzzle]], currently stationed at the [[Igue-Moor Fuel Depot]], is shooting statues with [[The Judge]] when he sees a sort of shimmer...
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
In his workshop, Ironfist reviews the schematic of his head and the cerebro-sensitive bullet lodged in it, remembering his long relationship with Skyfall. He had developed [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[ion blaster]], though the Autobot leader attributed its invention to Skyfall. Ironfist had continued to support Skyfall, after the latter spent a hundred years in the Decepticon [[Grindcore (prison)|Grindcore prison camp]], and after the [[glass gas|black phosphex]] incident when Skyfall was assigned for a time as a guard at Garrus 9.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
[[Rotorstorm]] enjoys the victory the Autobots have just attained in the battle of [[Karashi-Delta|Karashi Delta]], but even that is tainted by his memories of the [[Iaconian Aerial Academy]], and the bullying he suffered at the hands of his instructor, [[Jetstream]]. He's brought out of his reverie when he spies the Shimmer and opens fire at it.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
Springer decides on the four Autobots who will be invited to join the Wreckers: Rotorstorm, Guzzle, Pyro and Skyfall.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
Skyfall passes on reactions to the "[[Fisitron]]" datalogs to Ironfist, such as readers having coined the term "[[Fisitronism]]s". Irritated by the criticisms, Ironfist returns to packing up the cerebro-cannons and Skyfall leaves. Shortly afterward Ironfist receives a call from [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], who's well aware that he's behind Fisitron.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
Springer meets with [[Kup (G1)|Kup]], and reveals that Prowl has vetoed Skyfall as a Wrecker and is sending a substitute. Kup relates a story of how Prowl once killed [[Violator|a Decepticon]] by reading [[Tyrest Accord|Cybertron law]] at him until he triggered his own kill-switch. The current Wreckers vote on the three Autobots whom Springer has picked to invite.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
As Ironfist tidies his workshop, Springer appears to him in a shimmer and invites him to join the Wreckers. Ironfist naturally agrees, and Springer reports back to the other Wreckers that the only one who turned him down was Guzzle. However [[Twin Twist]] reports that Guzzle's holding on line 2.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
Skyfall is astounded at Ironfist's being accepted into the Wreckers. When Ironfist gives him the workshop, he's so excited that he doesn't hear Ironfist saying that he doesn't think he'll be coming back. Once his friend has left, Ironfist receives another call...
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
Ironfist arrives at Igue Moor and meets Guzzle, who's impressed when Ironfist reveals he's Fisitron. The pair encounter Rotorstorm and then Pyro, who they at first mistake for Optimus Prime come to see them off. They decide to try out the [[lightformer cannon]] Ironfist has brought along.
[[Image:Symbol autobot reg.png|center|20px]]
Nine months later, Skyfall objects to the Ethics Committee cleaning out the contents of his workshop, due to his failure to attend hearings. No sooner has [[Xaaron]] disconnected the call than a pre-recorded message begins to play, triggered by Ironfist's death. Ironfist reveals that he knows Skyfall tampered with the cerebro-gun so it would "accidentally" go off, and that Skyfall leaked the [[Gideon's Glue]] research to the Decepticons. As the recording is also being sent out as a datalog, the [[Enforcement Squad]] begins banging on the workshop door in short order. With nowhere to run, Skyfall drinks a vial of Gideon's Glue found concealed in the [[sky-sled]].

==Quotes==
"That, is the best story ever."
:—'''Springer''', upon hearing Kup tell him about the time Prowl literally ''bored'' someone to death.

"A head shot at close range...not a pleasant way to go."
:—'''Rotorstorm''', unknowingly being ironic.

"I nearly forgot to tell you, I've programmed the workshop terminal to treat this message as one of Fisitron's datalogs. Which means that every one of my subscribers will have these words beamed directly into their neural processors. You said you were a slow reader, Skyfall. You're a slow listener as well. There are 4,000 Autobots out there who've heard this part of the message before you have."
:—'''Ironfist''' from beyond the grave, telling Skyfall that he's screwed.

==Notes==
* This text-only story was released as a bonus feature in ''[[The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers|Last Stand of the Wreckers]]'' trade paperback, and is a framing device for the material in the trade.
* The story had some minor revisions in the version printed in the hardcover edition, most notably Rung's deliberations on vocal synthesizers. The errors mentioned below are still present.
*Rung has a model of the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark-1]]''.
*[[Delphi]] was the name of a secret Autobot base in James Robert's ''Eugenesis'' fanfiction.
*The number 113 crops up in a bunch of places: [[Agent 113]] is the spy who passes on the information about Garrus-9, [[Room 113]] is where the Ethic Committee meets, and Datalog 113 is the one that concerns the Pova incident. This a in little in-joke by James Roberts, in reference to [[Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!|issue #113]] of the Marvel UK ''Transformers'' comic, which was the issue that got him hooked on the series.

===Errors===
*One paragraph begins with Perceptor describing the effects of "vicarious perception", but randomly jumps focus to Ironfist after the first few lines. It looks as if a section discussing the [[Jumpstarter]]s' medical issues was cut for space, but wasn't fully removed.
*Skyfall, at Kimia, fears that an incoming communication might be from Perceptor, "about last night's brawl in the [[Exit Rooms]]." Since the transmission in question was triggered by Ironfist's death, Perceptor would presumably still be with the remaining Wreckers en route to Earth when the aforementioned brawl occurred.

Shafau:

==Roulette==
I seem to remember First Aid pegging Roulette as a male in this story, which might mean it's a different Roulette than the female one, obviously.{{unsigned|Nu-Priest|18:25, September 15, 2010 (EDT)}}
:Might be presumptuous, but Roulette is a repaint of a male character, and all that's changed to make her a her is her head, which was missing from this Roulette. It's possible First Aid just didn't know/couldn't tell.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 18:33, 15 September 2010 (EDT)
::Well, I sincerely doubt the presence of the head would deter a doctor from being able to tell the robot's "gender". --[[User:Nu-Priest|Nu-Priest]] 20:59, 15 September 2010 (EDT)
:::Considering you had to put it in quotations...--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 21:11, 15 September 2010 (EDT)
::::I also think a doctor would know. Besides, she is from the Beast Era. The [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] doesn't have a Beast Era, as far as we know. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 01:04, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
:::::Her character is retroactively from the Great War/G1. *rethinks-previous-statement* You know, this version of Roulette could easily be a dude, if Jhiaxus or whoever hadn't made him into a her. I forgot about that little detail about IDW continuity's females. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:11, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
::::::Heh heh, yeah. It depends on how the "female genome" is spread, I guess. Maybe later Roulette realizes he was meant to be a she all along. (There's probably a weird but interesting story in there somewhere.) [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 06:35, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
:::::::If we're going to acknowledge Roulette exists in IDW continuity, I think the femmebot with the blatently copied color scheme from AHM #14 should get recognized. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 18:41, 17 September 2010 (EDT)
::::::::...yeah, um, I don't think you've seen the two characters side-by-side. It's not the same color scheme. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:22, 17 September 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::I accept your challenge! I am now holding Universe #1 and AHM #14 side-by-side. Gold helmet, gray face, blue eyes, gold and gray chestplate, purple and gold on the legs, vehicle kibble on the thighs...uh, yeah. It's not an absolutely slavish recreation, but for comparing a Cybertronian mode to an Earth mode, I'd say it's a damn near perfect match. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 20:39, 17 September 2010 (EDT)
::::::::::We've seen Roulette's Cybertronian mode! And the colors are all totally jumbled and in the wrong proportions. I would say the generic's color scheme is reminiscent of Roulette, but is absolutely not in any way Roulette-enough to be considered her. Much in the same way that the dude she's with is so totally not Side Burn, despite folks' claims. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:47, 17 September 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::::We saw two modes for Roulette, before and after the Cauldron. Both had your standard Earth-like tires, and none of the Cybertronian sleekness or hover-stylings we've seen on other characters. Even if we had previously seen A Cybertronian mode for her, though, IDW has created numerous NEW Cybertronians designs for characters (Megatron, Ratbat, Blaster, Arcee, etc.). It's a female Cybertronian, in Roulette's ''basic'' color scheme, in a role close to Sunstreaker, whom she was connected with at her introduction. We've made positive IDs on far less than that before. Not acknowledging that femmebot as Roulette is one thing, but ignoring her AND saying this unseen, undescribed male Transformer IS her IDW counterpart just seems bizarre. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 22:41, 17 September 2010 (EDT)
::::::::::::Maybe if the AHM female had Roulette's head... I mean, if we color a random guy <strike>like Wheeljack</strike> approximately sort of in Wheeljack's colors, does it make him Wheeljack? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:44, 17 September 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::::::Wheeljack has possibly the most distinctive head in the history of Transformers, so that comparison doesn't really work -- Roulette is just another face-in-helmet variation. And again, the femmebot's helmet is ''approximately'' the same as Roulette's: length-wise cheek panels, "chin-strap", sloped ridge on the forehead, two points on top. Is every detail an artistically perfect recreation? No. But neither were IDW's Cybertronian mode Skram, or Road Rocket, or Primus-knows how many other redesigns. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 10:49, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::::Maybe someone should just flat-out ask James on the IDW board, he frequents it enough. I just think it's a case similar to "Wing" in Drift # 1. Cool name, randomly chosen. --[[User:Nu-Priest|Nu-Priest]] 22:33, 17 September 2010 (EDT)

Guys... are you seriously having an argument about bending over backwards to explain why a one-note male character should be the same character as a female from another universe? - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 11:10, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
: I think we stopped talking about the Dude Roulette ages ago. Now we're talking about the girl-who-sorta-looks-like-Roulette-because-she-has-similarish-colors-but-a-different-head-which-we-will-ignore. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 11:25, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
::Basically, I'm arguing that if a femmebot clearly based on Roulette colors/appearance ISN'T her IDW counterpart, then a description-less text-only male TF who happens to share the same name shouldn't be Roulette's counterpart either. Ignoring the AHM femmebot is one thing; recognizing a character even LESS like Roulette in lieu of her is another. There should be a separate page for the dude-bot under Roulette (IDW) or Roulette (male) or something. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 12:03, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
:::Yeah, that's basically what I was getting at from the get-go.--[[User:Nu-Priest|Nu-Priest]] 13:15, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
:I'm confused-- is this the female from Sunstreaker's story? Because I assumed that was Airrazor. She's standing in front of Sideburn, we see someone I assume is Bulkhead in the same panel, and I assume the orange fellow behind her shoulder on the next page is Survive. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 13:13, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

==Roulette (G1)==
If we're creating a page on the new Roulette, we create it at [[Roulette (G1)]], not Roulette (IDW). Why? Because we disambiguate by Franchise-of-Origin. There are no conflicts between the two Roulettes, franchise-of-origin-wise, so there's absolutely no reason to disambiguate the new Roulette by publisher. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 13:30, 12 October 2010 (EDT)
:I guess I'm confused how this works. I thought we wouldn't use (G1) as an identifier if both characters are from Generation 1 continuity. We differentiated ''[[Fasttrack (IDW)]]'' and ''[[Fasttrack (Scorponok)]]'', for instance. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 14:08, 12 October 2010 (EDT)
:::"... from Generation 1 '''continuity'''" is where you make mistakes. We don't disambiguate by continuity. We disambiguate by franchise. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 15:49, 12 October 2010 (EDT)
::This is the sort of problem you get because G1 is both a franchise and a continuity family. Both characters are from the G1 confam, but only the new guy is from the G1 franchise. Personally, I would avoid using G1 in situations like this one. I'd limit G1 to those characters that truly are "G1", the ones that existed before there was anything else. But, policy is against me (and you). --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:27, 12 October 2010 (EDT)
:::So Fasttrack is like that because both IDW comics and 1987 toys are released under the G1 franchise. ''Universe'' is in the G1 continuity, but is a separate franchise label, and therefore "not G1". Like ''[[Dropshot (G1)]]'' and ''[[Dropshot (Universe)]]''. Okay...I think i get it. --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 14:40, 12 October 2010 (EDT)
::::Exactly. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:54, 12 October 2010 (EDT)

==Rung's patients==

The medic who checks badges is obviously [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]], the data processor who believes he's a right leg is [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)|Lightspeed]]...any idea who the paranoid cadet is? --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] 15:38, 19 September 2010 (EDT)
:Red Alert? Seems like the obvious guess. --[[Special:Contributions/72.79.209.160|72.79.209.160]] 08:59, 20 September 2010 (EDT)

== Ark-1 = Ark (G1) ==

Rung has a model of the ''Ark-1'' on his desk. This is probably the [[Ark (G1)]] that was retroactively given the name "Ark-1", no? Just checking. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 21:30, 20 September 2010 (EDT)

== Can we put the little Autobot symbols back in? ==

I think it would be useful to break up the summary into "chapters" like the story and using little Autobot symbols like the story did seems like an interesting way to do it. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 11:09, 21 September 2010 (EDT)

== Watermark, or hidden image? ==

This is gonna sound crazy, but there's some kind of hidden image on the second, and last pages of Bullets. It's not just what's on the other side of the page showing through, since the pages are too thick, and the shapes don't match up with the other side anyway.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 04:30, 4 October 2010 (EDT)

==The Number 113==
In the UKTF issues, it's part one of "Wanted: Galvatron, Dead or Alive" - the first TF appearance of Death's Head, yes? [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 07:02, 3 January 2011 (EST)

==Minor changes in hardcover edition==

Shafau: /* Poll entries */

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

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

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

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

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

Shafau: /* Poll entries */

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

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

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

''' '''
==Synopsis==
A long time ago, on the planet [[Caldoon 4]], Kup and a team of [[Autobot]]s are being slaughtered by Overlord. Breaking off from the attack, the giant [[Decepticon]] leaves to attend a holoconference with Megatron, who informs him that he, Sixshot and Black Shadow will be the [[Infiltration protocol|phase-sixers]], responsible for finishing planets on the brink of collapse. When Overlord states that he has other ambitions, he is given an ultimatum: obey Megatron or be hunted down and destroyed.

Back in the present, the new [[Wrecker]]s recruits discuss the arrival of Impactor, and what it means for the mission. While Impactor is being repaired by Perceptor (whereupon an explosive deterrence chip is found in the ex-Wrecker's head), he reveals that he was freed by Snare, who is having qualms about Overlord's sadistic actions. He also rails at Springer for having sent him to [[Garrus-9]] in the first place.

Ultra Magnus intends to make the trip back to [[Earth]] with Verity after having dropped off the team, having received a request from [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] to return. An eavesdropping Verity disagrees with this plan, however. Magnus also informs Springer that according to Prowl, someone or something called [[Aequitas]] is currently on Garrus-9.

The Wreckers convene for a mission briefing, and Kup reminisces that Overlord, having chosen to defy Megatron, left the survivors of his team alive back on Caldoon 4. The mission is to hit the prison, free the Autobot prisoners and deal with Aequitas. They plan to break the surrounding force-field by landing two drop pods, both to be controlled by Rotorstorm.

As the appointed time approaches, Guzzle equips Pyro with cerebro-sensitive bullets capable of homing onto a target's brain module. Impactor sits alone in reflection, while Topspin and Twintwist talk about the vicarious perception they are experiencing. Verity leaves a note for Ultra Magnus, while Magnus and Springer consider Ironfist's blackouts and Rotorstorm wallows in self-doubt.

Magnus releases the drop pods above the planet, at which point Verity, now dressed in an exoskeleton, reveals herself as having stowed away aboard one of them. Despite a fierce Decepticon defense, the two teams make a crash landing on the planet. Emerging from the wreckage of her pod, Verity finds herself face to face with Overlord...

==Quotes==
"Apologies, Megatron. Unlike Sixshot and Black Shadow, I have my hands full."
:—'''Overlord''' is just about the only 'bot that can insult Sixshot... and live

"You can't beat 'Wreck 'n' Rule.' Pure poetry."
:—'''Ironfist''': The next [[wikipedia: Walt Whitman|Walt Whitman]]

"Autobot? I'm a Wrecker, Snare. First and always."
:—'''Impactor''' proudly announces where his loyalties lie

"Turn up and shoot... 'Bout as fancy as it gets with us Wreckers. You wanna spend all day calculating 'tolerable margins of error?' Call Prowl."
:—'''Springer''': Always the one to take cheap digs at Prowl

"Hold my legs, Topspin...I feel the urge to shoot someone."
:—'''Perceptor''' reaches out to his inner psychopath

==Errors==
* A picture of Verity, [[Hunter O'Nion]] and [[Jimmy Pink]] shows them in their '-ation' clothes acting goofy. They really never had time to have such a picture taken, as they just met Hunter in ''[[Infiltration]]'', and at least Verity has been exclusively with the Autobots ever since. Unless the ''[[Ark-17]]'' had a photo developing lab?

==Items of note==
* Pyro's attempts at a motto are just different ways of saying "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings", a further joke about his resemblance to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].
* Ironfist drops references to [[Emirate Xaaron]] and the [[Sonic Canyons]].
* Ironfist also refers to an old Wreckers mission known as "[[Operation: Volcano]]", named in homage to the mission that the team were to carry out in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK]] storyline "[[Target: 2006]]" (which was the team's first appearance). The mission is coded 078/088, referring to the issue numbers which "Target: 2006" ran through.
* We learn here that Ultra Magnus is ''not'' with the Wreckers, he's just giving them a lift and then pretending he never saw them kill folks. Verity ''wasn't'' with the Wreckers, but she sure is now!
* Vicarious perception is a real concept, referring to someone else perceiving your exertion and discomfort.
* As the Wreckers roll into action, Ultra Magnus recites the old Cybertonian proverb, "May your wires never cross and your luster never dull," originally heard during the [[Rite of the Autobrand]] in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel]] comic, "[[Rock and Roll-Out!]]"

Talk:The Last Stand

Shafau: /* MASH reference? */ new section

==Alternate version==

Is that alternate ending available anyplace?

It showed up in a Collected Comics book that contained the first four issues, but that was 20 years ago and in a not-widely-sold format. A scan is online somewhere, gotta be. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

*[http://tfarchive.com/comics/marvel/alternate.jpg]There you go. -hx
** Awesome. Thanks!

About that... has anyone ever speculated what that whole bit with the Dinobots (alluded to in issue #3, and specifically mentioned in issue #4) would have been like if there were no ongoing series? Were these elements always to be included? What would have come of them?--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 18:18, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

-I imagine that what would have happened with the Dinobots and Shockwave is... uh... Nothing. Being as the series would have been over. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 18:34, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

You miss the point. Why was it included? Continuing a series beyond the limited series was rather uncommon. Were they already thinking that the series would continue by the time issue #3 came out? Or might the comment Ratchet made in that issue have been originally intended to be something else? Is there an "alternate" set of pages to issue 4 (where our current version has the first details about the Dinobots) out there? Although we've not yet seen direct evidence of such, it seems that this is a likely possibility.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 21:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

There is indeed an alternate part to US issue 4. To the end, at least. In at least one Australian and one UK printing I can think of, the story ends with the Autobots up and about with Optimus giving a speech. The Shockwave bit? Simply not there. --[[User:Ratbat|Ratbat]] 15:48, 17 March 2006 (AEDST)

Sorry, Ratbat, but that's not what I'm talking about. We already know this, and it's already on the main article for this issue. What I'm talking about are two scenes: one on page 8 of issue #3. At the bottom of the page, when Prime and the other Autobots return to the Ark, Ratchet tells Prime that he "discovered something in the computer's memory banks that [he] think[s Prime] should..." at which point Prime cuts him off. The next issue, on pages 10-11, Huffer fills Prime in on what "Ratchet had tried to tell [him] earlier," and recounts the Ark's memory banks in reference to Shockwave and the Dinobots. Page 12 has a couple of frames at the top of the page in reference to this, as well. Had this series been, as originally intended, only a "4 issue limited series," these references would have never been resolved. Is it reasonable to assume that they were always intended to appear this way, on the unlikely chance that the series would be picked up as an ongoing?--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 14:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I think you're right, G.B. - the comics seem to have been written with nore than four issues in mind. But Ratbat has a point too - in the Australian Federal Comic Super Special those references to the Dinobots and Shockwave just aren't there. As someone who only had the Australian version until 1990 (when I finally found a copy of US #4) I was pleasantly surprised to find those Dinobot bits in there - I'd never seen them before.--[[User:58.106.146.170|58.106.146.170]] 07:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

:It's been years since I last saw the Complete Works edition but my recollection is that the Shockwave and Dinobots references ''are'' included in them. (The Collected Comics has the standard version, including the cliffhanger.) My best guess is that the original plan was to throw in a few more of the toys and a flashback was reckoned as the best way to show the Dinobots, hence the dialogue in issue 3, then by the time issue 4 was done they knew they were going further. (Alternatively given the length of time an individual issue takes from start to finish, that speech bubble may have been a late in the day addition before seeing print.) [[User:Timrollpickering|Timrollpickering]] 14:27, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

==Cover Artist==
Marvel Age #23 credits Michael Golden with issue #4's cover, but Megatron clearly has TEXEIRA written on his back. Presuming that this signature is Mark Texeira's, I've contacted him to find out if he inked Golden's pencils or he did the cover entirely himself and Marvel Age reported wrong (as I think we determined Golden did do the covers to #2-#3). For now - since the Golden credit is from a secondary source - I've solely credited Texeira until I hear back from him. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 12:42, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

== Offline Decepticons ==

I think we can allow that the Decepticons finished repairing all their warriors between the damage report scene and the attack on the Ark. Why would Megatron attack the Ark with only 5 guys? -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 17:41, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

:Over confidence and expectations that the Autobots are too low on fuel to offer much resistance? In issues #5 & #6 Skywarp, Soundwave, Frenzy and Rumble are shown as a distinctly separate group from the others, with a different set of injuries sustained, and these four recover first whilst the others take longer because of the fuel corosion. Also none of the four gets a name check in the battle when all the other intended fighters do. [[User:Timrollpickering|Timrollpickering]] 22:19, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

::Hrm, that's actually a pretty good point. It just goes against assumptions I've held for like 25 years, heh. I mean, Frenzy's right there on the cover. In any case, I kinda feel like we should note it collectively -- "these guys shouldn't be in the battle" -- rather than panel-by-panel. Maybe we should do the Autobots the same way. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 01:11, 4 September 2009 (EDT)

== MASH reference? ==

I noticed in that Sparkplug's flashback to the Korean war, his army buddy says they were heading to the 4067th MASH unit. The long-running TV show MASH was based around the 4077th unit. Does anyone think this might be a nod to the series (and if so, is it worth adding to the Items of Note?), or is it more likely to be just a coincidence?

'''The Autobots make a desperate gamble to defeat the Decepticons.'''

==Synopsis==
Some of the [[Autobot|Autobots]] accuse Sparkplug of betraying them by giving the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] the fuel conversion they needed. Panicked, Sparkplug and his son attempt to escape, but when Jazz blocks their path with a wall of flame, Sparkplug suffers a heart attack. He is rushed to the hospital by Ratchet.

Huffer tells Optimus about a discovery he made in the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'s memory banks: Just after the ship crashed, its barely functional computers detected the Decepticon Shockwave arriving on [[Earth]] in pursuit. With the last of its power, the Ark modified five Autobot warriors to combat him, thus creating the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. They traveled in a [[Ark shuttlecraft|shuttle]] to the [[Savage Land]] to confront Shockwave, at which point contact was lost. Huffer has Ratchet dispatch a probe to search for the lost Dinobots.

At the hospital, Sparkplug undergoes emergency treatment and dreams of his Army service in Korea, where he was forced to repair North Korean vehicles. He further recalls sabotaging those vehicles...

With no new fuel sources forthcoming, the remaining Autobots are forced to make a desperate gamble to fight the Decepticons one last time. All the Autobots sacrifice their remaining fuel resources to Optimus Prime, Huffer, Ironhide, Bluestreak and Mirage. These five prepare to fight the Decepticons within the [[Mount St. Hilary|volcano]] that the Ark has crashed into, as the Decepticons arrive to destroy the Autobots once and for all.

In the Savage Land, Huffer's probe has found something and starts to dig it out—until a giant purple hand crushes it...

Although the Decepticons begin to win the battle by virtue of their greater numbers, at the moment of apparent victory, the Decepticons all fall, writhing in internal agony. As he reveals to Buster at the hospital, Sparkplug had corrupted the fuel he provided to the Decepticons, and they are now poisoned. Optimus Prime proclaims the debt that they, and the entire world, owe to Sparkplug Witwicky.

But suddenly, a gigantic blast from above knocks out all the Autobot troops... and Shockwave stands supreme!

"NOT the end..."

==Errors==
* Cover: Megatron is colored mostly brown.
* Page 1: Brawn is colored red and blue instead of green and yellow. Several generic Autobots are seen in the second inset panel.
* Page 2:
** Panel 1: Windcharger is colored with a red chest and head and blue arms, instead of gray torso and red arms. Standing behind Huffer is a off-colour version of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]'s original character model (based on the Macross Valkyrie toy)
** Panel 2: Ratchet's face and chevron are colored red instead of their usual grey/white.
** Panel 4: Why does Ironhide have yellow accordion knees?
* Page 3:
** Panel 2: Mirage is colored with red arms and a white head. Jazz (seen holding back Ironhide) is colored mostly blue with red legs, instead of mostly white with black details.
** Panel 5: Jazz fires what's supposed to be his flamethrower, but is in actuality his regular rifle.
* Page 5: Ratchet has an all-red head again and red legs. (Again, the consistency of this indicates that it might be an earlier color scheme.) Optimus is barely as tall as Ratchet's ambulance mode.
* Page 9: A bunch of vaguely Reflector-like robots are suddenly hanging around in the Decepticon fortress. (Issue #1 pretty clearly indicated that the only Decepticons on Earth are the ten introduced in that issue, a point even more explicitly stated by Shockwave in the next issue.) If that's supposed to be Frenzy on one of the repair beds, he's completely off-model.
* Megatron has an off-center Decepticon sigil throughout the issue.
* Page 13: Bumblebee is colored approximately like Sideswipe.
* Wheeljack, Trailbreaker, Prowl and Jazz are all shown to be up and about in this issue, yet they are not shown among the donor Autobots in the [[Tubes of Transference]].
* Page 14: Brawn is shown among the active Autobots, even though he was not among those recharged for the final fight. Frenzy and Rumble are shown as active despite page 9 stating they had been knocked out of action last issue. [[The New Order|The next issue]] reinforces their injury status.
* Page 16: There's Brawn again! And Windcharger!
* Page 18:
** Panel 5: Sunstreaker and Sideswipe are both shown among the Autobots; there's a generic lying on the ground.
** Panel 6: Cliffjumper is among the Autobots. Seriously. Wasn't the whole "last five Autobots" like a really big plot point just a couple of pages ago? Sheesh. And Skywarp, Rumble and Soundwave are among the Decepticons attacking, despite being reported as out of action nine pages earlier.
* Page 19:
** Panel 3: Skywarp is shown again despite being off action. Either that or the Seeker is a miscoloured Thundercracker.
** Panel 6: Who're those generic guys on the ground?
* Page 20: A generic Decepticon can be seen between Megatron's legs. Frenzy and Rumble are once again present.
* Page 21: There's Sunstreaker again! Several generic Decepticons as well. Mirage magically has his left arm again, after it was bitten off by Ravage; whatever damage was done to his chest/head by Buzzsaw has likewise vanished.
* Page 22: And Windcharger, colored like Mirage. Bluestreak's left door/wing is missing.

==Items of note==
* '''Cameos:''' [[Ted Koppel]] (voice only), [[Mitchell Roland]], [[Doris Roland]], ballet girls, [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], Sparkplug's Army buddy, North Koreans, hospital crew, [[United States military]].
* Advertised as part 4 in a 4-issue limited series, but the ending and letter column both make clear that issue [[The New Order|#5]] of what was now an ongoing was forthcoming.
* The narrative box makes a quick reference to the World War I novel ''All Quiet on the Western Front'': "Meanwhile, all's quiet on the Decepticon front..."
* According to a text box in the letter column, ''Transformers'' #5 was originally going to be drawn by the team of "[[wikipedia:Vincent_Giarrano|Vince Giarrano]], penciling superstar-in-the-making" and "[[Brad Joyce]], inker extraordinare". This did not come to pass, and while Joyce did eventually ink issue [[The Next Best Thing to Being There!|#10]], Giarrano would never work on the series.
* [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]'s original character model (based on the Macross Valkyrie) appears in the first panel of the second page, but he is miscolored and partially obscured by Huffer's arm.
* An [http://www.tfarchive.com/comics/faq/alternate.jpg alternate ending] was scripted and drawn for a UK reprint of issue #4 in Transformers: The Complete Works, Volume 2; in this version, Shockwave never strikes, and the series ends with Optimus Prime declaring the Decepticons defeated once and for all. Some have theorised that this ending was created by the US comics in case the series failed to progress past issue #4. However, the art on these panels, particularly a closeup of Optimus Prime's face, in the very final panel, is markedly different to Springer's so it seems much more likely that this version was simply drawn for the UK printing by one of their own artists.
* A second alternate ending was published in the ''Federal Comics Super Special edition''. It expands the second panel of the penultimate page (or, the second panel from the link within the previous note) into a final splash page, eliminating the other panels entirely. Additionally, any page that mentioned the Shockwave subplot was dropped.

Gang-molding

2009-10-17T13:42:44Z

Shafau: typo - 'reare' -> 'rare'

[[Image:G2GoBots-gangmolding.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Three sets of the same gang-molded toys. The smoky-clear parts in the bottom row are all lavender in the middle row, and all black in the top row. See the pattern of consistent plastic-color changes from row to row across all the toys in each set? This is gang-molding in action. Take note that the rightmost column uses paint applications to drastically change the car panel colors, but the plastic below still conforms to the pattern. (Not shown: The eighty-six other versions of these molds.)]]
'''Gang-molding''' is the practice of using the same plastic mold to simultaneously manufacture different parts for different toys.

Multiple large [[Toy|''Transformers'' toys]] are not typically gang-molded; the procedure is normally used either for a single large toy and a smaller one that is associated with it, such as a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster and its head component]] or a [[Bulk]] and its partner Mini-Con, or for several smaller toys, such as a [[Mini-Con]] team. Sometimes gang-molded toys are sold together, as in these cases, but there have been instances of toys that were sold separately having parts from the same molds, such as the [[Axelerator|Axelerators]] [[Skram]] and [[Windbreaker]], or either set of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] molds.

In most cases, producing one of several toys that are gang-molded together will automatically result in some or all of the parts for the other toys being produced as well. This is why all the toys in certain types of groups tend to get [[Redeco|redecoed]] at about the same time--making a toy from ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Firebot (Armada)|Firebot]]'s mold, such as [[Anti-Blaze]], will also create similarly colored versions of [[Makeshift (Armada)|Makeshift]] and [[Prowl (Armada)|Prowl]] (in Anti-Blaze's case, [[Scythe]] and [[Checkpoint (Cybertron)|Checkpoint]] respectively).

Not all toys that are packaged together are gang-molded. The three members of the [[Clear Skies Team|Clear Skies Mini-Con Team]], for example, are molded independently of each other.

In some rare instances, when Hasbro and Takara plan a [[retool]] of a toy even before starting production of the original version, they may also cast the original parts and the new parts from the same mold. The usused parts will the be dumped or recycled. One of the most well-known examples of this procedure is ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scrapmetal (type)|Scrapmetal]], whose head was produced on the same sprue as the [[Cobybot]] head, even though the latter was originally only used by Takara.

== Notable examples of gang-molding ==
*The ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] and their [[Nebulos|Nebulan]] partners
*The ''Generation 1'' Double [[Targetmaster]]s' Nebulan partners/guns (gang-molded in groups of three, one from each toy per faction)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Pretender]] Beasts' inner robots (gang-molded in pairs, per faction)
*The ''Generation 1'' Small Pretenders figures' inner robots (gang-molded in groups of three, per faction)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Pretender Monster|Pretender Monsters']] inner robots (gang-molded across the whole group of six)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Micromaster]] patrols (gang-molded in pairs, two sets per patrol of four)
*Each of the ''Generation 1'' [[Micromaster Transport]]s (Micromaster figures and their respective trailers)
*The ''Generation 1'' [[Micromaster Combiner]] Squads (gang-molded in groups of six, the whole squad)
*All the ''Generation 1'' [[Action Master]] figures with the exception of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]] (gang-molded in pairs, including those that came with vehicles) and the single pack Action Masters' weapons and accessories/partners (gang-molded in groups of six, including the six European market exclusives)
*''[[Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Rotor Force]] (gang-molded in pairs)
*The original six ''Generation 2'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] (gang-molded across the whole group of six)
*The originally unreleased second batch of ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots (gang-molded across the whole group of six, although some of the [[mold]]s got damaged so two of the toys would end up unusuable when the other four eventually got released for ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'')
*The ''Generation 2'' [[Axelerator]]s (gang-molded in pairs)
*The ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'', ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' and ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Mini-Con]] teams (gang-molded in groups of three, the whole team)
*The ''Armada'' [[bulk]]s and their respective Mini-Con partners
*''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scrapmetal (type)|Scrapmetal's]] head and the [[Cobybot|Coby's exclusive Rumble]] head.

'''Whales die and Optimus Prime has an epileptic seizure.'''

==Synopsis==
The [[Gulf of Alaska]], 5.51 A.M. local time. An fishing boat, working for an [[United States of America|American]] company named [[Concord Fisheries]], is about two days ahead of its quota, and the crew is wondering whether they should dock early and unload, or try to continue their lucky streak. The boat's captain, meanwhile, is distracted and keeps thinking about his family.

Suddenly, the boat hits an obstacle. As the captain orders a code red, the crew realizes they have run across at leas a dozen dead whales, each of them with a shard of metal sticking out of its back. The crew proceeds to lift some of the whales onboard to examine their bodies and realizes that their flesh looks burnt, as if they had been torched. Eventually they notice a shard of metal sticking out of one of the bodies. Upon realizing that one of them sports an [[Autobot]] [[insignia]], the captain decides to call the [[Coast Guard]].

[[Image:OptimusPrimeWarAndPeacePreview.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Why are my feet so swollen? Why do my chest windows look like boobs?]]

Meanwhile, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] is standing on a hilltop in the desert, staring at an electric storm at the horizon. [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] climbs up to talk to him, joking about getting older. Prime isn't listening, however, as he is having an inexplicable feeling that a huge threat for the Autobots, unlike anything they ever encountered before, is headed their way. Suddenly Prime has a seizure, loses his balance and falls off the hill, crashing onto the ground.

Some time later, back in the Gulf of Alaska, at 8:33 P.M. local time, a Coast Guard boat has arrived, and the crew starts questioning the fishing crew, who deny having seen anything out of the ordinary until the collision. The Coast Guard captain decides to send divers down to investigate. Although the captain of the fishing boat objects the use of live divers, the Coast Guard captain insists that clearance for mech use takes too long, and he wants to find out what's going on underwater as soon as possible. As the three divers reach 140 feet, they discover a large spaceship sporting a huge Autobot insignia. One of the divers calls the Coast Guard captain via radio, asking for assistance.

==Quotes==
"Kill '''''this''''' many? That'd have to be one '''''huge''''' explosion."
:—'''Fisherman''' who for some reason failed to see all those large metal shards thus far.

"Don't get macho, gentlemen. I don't care what it is. If you find a '''''message in a bottle''''' that looks suspicious, get your butts back up here… that's an '''''order'''''."
:—'''Coast Guard captain''', warning his divers not to take any risks.

==Publication==
This eight-page story has never been published as an individual issue. A preview was made available online in December 2002, lacking all text captions and speech bubbles. The story was published in the ''[[Prime Directive]]'' trade paperback collection which came out the same month, and is also included in the reprint by [[IDW Publishing]].

==Notes==
*This story appears to be setting up [[Chris Sarracini]]'s originally intended plot for the (at that point still unnamed) [[War and Peace|second ''Generation 1'' mini-series]], which was hinted in a Wizard's Edge article and would have featured [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] and [[Unicron]].<ref name="wizedge">[http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=1051 Tformers quoting a Wizard's Edge article that hints at the originally intended plot for ''Generation 1 volume 2''.]</ref> When Sarracini was replaced by [[James McDonough|<strike>James McDonough</strike> Brad Mick]] as the writer of the second ''Generation 1'' mini, that story direction was dropped and replaced by an entirely new plot. Therefore, this preview is pretty much pointless in retrospect. The solitary vestigial reference to this preview in the finished ''War and Peace'' mini-series is in the text prologue printed on the inside cover of the [[New World Order|first issue]], noting that Prime's vision (the fit he suffers in this story) has brought the Autobots to the Arctic, but the ship is never mentioned, essentially "replaced" with a stasis capsule containing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]].
**The lingering mystery of the ship would not be resolved until over a year later, in [[Original Sin|issue #5]] of Dreamwave's [[Generation One (Dreamwave comic)|ongoing ''Generation One'' series]], wherein it was revealed to be the ship that brought [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and Omega Supreme to Earth, and the origin point for Scourge's capsule.
*The fishing crew appears to suffer from collective sight impairment. First they fail to notice an area filled with dead whales until they literally bump into them. And then they fail to notice the giant shards of metal sticking out of their bodies until they have lifted them on board. Considering they're steering through an area full of icebergs, one wonders how they have managed not to bump into one of them yet.

===Errors===
*When Optimus Prime is having his seizure, Spike appears to be looking into the wrong direction when he asks him what is wrong, based on both their relative position in the previous panel and the direction of the pointer of Prime's speech bubble.
*Prime falls off the hill head first, with the front side of his body facing the hill, yet he somehow manages to hit the ground flat, with the front side of his body facing the ground.

'''Chris Sarracini''' is a Canadian comic book writer who worked for [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] in the first year of their Transformers license, writing the [[Prime Directive|first ''Generation 1'' mini-series]] and the first five isssues of ''[[Armada (Dreamwave comic)|Armada]]''. Even though he was originally announced to write the [[War and Peace|second ''Generation 1'' volume]] as well, he was eventually replaced by [[James McDonough|<s>James McDonough</s> Brad Mick]], while [[Simon Furman]] took over ''Armada'' starting with issue 6. As Dreamwave spiralled towards bankruptcy, James McDonough (formerly "Brad Mick") and [[Adam Patyk]] were fired, and Sarracini was slated to return to the ''Generation 1'' title starting with issue 11, but Dreamwave died before the issue would be properly solicited.

Shafau:

==Hidden Message==
I was rereading this issue today, and being the dweeb that I am, I noticed that in the panel where Bumblebee's trying to locate Skywarp ("Think you're so clever, don'tcha?") there's a hidden message in the binary there. The very top line reads "1984.1987.I.D.W.05.10", and the vertical column down the side reads either "fn!" or "fo!" followed by the word "michelle".

Assuming this isn't old news, does anyone have any idea who 'Michelle' is, and what the significance of "05.10" is? I thought it might be a neat little thing to add to the Items of Note, but I can't really do that if I don't know what it means. -- [[User:Shafau|Shafau]] 21:54, 5 August 2009 (EDT)
