:''Devcon is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Clovercon.jpg|thumb|right|500px|Approximately seven hours ago, some... thing attacked the city. I don't know what it is. If you found this tape, I mean if you're watching this right now, then you probably know more about it than I do.]]

Despite being a quadruped, '''Devcon''' is still a formidable foe to tangle with, towering over many other Cybertronians.

==Fiction==
===''Dark of the Moon'' film===

Devcon had been stationed on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] until [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] activated a [[space bridge]] to Earth. Heeding the call of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], he joined the Decepticon beachhead in [[Washington, D.C.]]. During the invasion of [[Chicago]], Devcon participated in the initial strike and contributed to the mayhem. During the Autobot's attack on this Decepticon stronghold, he was one of the many Decepticons who fired upon the retreating Autobots. When the tide began to turn in the Autobot's favor, however, the behemoth met his end as he tried to hold a bridge. The [[Wrecker]]s piled onto Devcon, shooting in the head multiple times until he fell to the ground dead. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

==Notes==
* Devcon bears more than a passing resemblance to the monster in the film ''[[wikipedia: Cloverfield|Cloverfield]]'', with elongated, double-jointed forelegs, short back legs, and a pair of under-slung appendages. The first teasers for ''Cloverfield'' were screened during the release of the first ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'' film. [[Leo Spitz]] also possessed a ''Cloverfield'' poster in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|second film]].

Shockwave1704: /* Devcon */

If members of a Transformers forum and I were to come up with a fan-made name, would that be able to become the name of this page until a real one is released (if one is)
Of course, It would be listed in the notes that it is a fan-made name{{unsigned|Wing Saber}}

:No. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 17:46, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

:Yes, but only if it's as blatantly fake and usefully descriptive as [[Christmas Maximus]]. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 03:04, 5 October 2011 (EDT)
:Dammit, we're not calling this guy Cloverjolt. Just give it up.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 10:58, 5 October 2011 (EDT)
::Not necessarily Cloverjolt (though I personally find that name quite awesome due to the fact that this guy is in many ways the Jolt of ''DOTM'', and I actually think it sounds like it could be accepted as his official name), but perhaps "Cloverfield Decepticon" (Unless "Clovercon" catches on very fast) at this point. "Long-legged Decepticon" really just sounds ''awful'' and unimaginative to me, to the point of ''actually taking something away from the article''. That's probably just me, though. - [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] [[User talk:Queso|Complain here]] 20:22, 18 October 2011 (EDT)
::: As the main "Nameless" page states, "Nicknames that could be confused with real names are not appropriate.". Cloverbot, Clovercon, Cloverjolt, etc. are all pretty valid sounding and could easily confuse someone. [[User:Tom Servo the Great|Tom Servo the Great]] 21:10, 18 October 2011 (EDT)
::::When the movie's released with extras, it's possible we may find he has a behind-the-scenes name anyway. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 21:26, 18 October 2011 (EDT)

Having now seen ''Cloverfield'', I suggest that if we do not get an official designation, we call him [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/quotes "Terrible Thing"], "Terrible Decepticon," or something else along those lines. - [[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]] [[User talk:Queso|Complain here]] 02:37, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

==Concept art==
Blu-ray release of DOTM had this piece of concept art concerning cloverbot. I made some edits, shoulda posted here first.
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7159/6781963639_06aafaf90b_o.jpg
designed by aaron mcbride, referred to in concept art as "DevCon." Devcon?
[[User:SlamBolt|Danny LeFox]] 12:32, 29 January 2012 (EST)
:Nice find! I don't know if it's enough to make him "Devcon (DOTM)", since some of the other DOTM concept art uses names that are obviously wrong. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 14:38, 29 January 2012 (EST)
::Lack of any other name to call him kinda makes the "call it this so anyone who steals the art is confused" name as official as it gets. --[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 14:49, 29 January 2012 (EST)
:::True. I don't have any strong objection to calling him Devcon for lack of a better name. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 21:18, 30 January 2012 (EST)
::Come on guys, let's give the poor fellow a name. There is no other movie character named Devcon.--[[Special:Contributions/24.69.64.254|24.69.64.254]] 20:26, 30 January 2012 (EST)

'''Note:''' If you have any words to tell me, please [http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=User_talk:TX55&action=edit&section=new leave a message] (if the content is not too private). I'll reply as soon as possible. Thank you. (I access TFwiki every day as I open the browser, so it would be more convenient to leave message than sending an e-mail.)

==Picture uploading==
Hi, I removed that pic of the towtruck you uploaded onto Longarm's page, because the file size was far too large (the wiki software warns you when you upload a filesize over its recommended limits) and since there is no information as to where it comes from (TFW2005 is not the source in this case), I don't know of the legality of using it here. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

==Primal launcher?==
Hey, TX55. In [http://transformers.wikia.com/index.php?title=Optimus_Primal&diff=next&oldid=96252 this edit] you said that Primal's chest was originally going to be some sort of launcher, and also added the "fact" template to your statement. Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy. (Also, you marked your edit as "minor" even though you were adding actual content to the page, which is probably a bad idea. Minor edits are for things like spelling fixes or changes of word choice, not for when you put new information in.) --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 21:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
:I've revised it. I used "citation need" because I know it was seen on the guide book, but I am not sure which one on the day I added it. Now I find the source. (Also, thank you for the . I understand now.:))--[[User:TX55|TX55]] 03:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

:Mmm, I know the book but never read before. The two combined forms are just called "Super Scramble". They seems only show up in this book. I don't remember seeing them in the HM anime. ;D Every member formed the giants has their unique ability.

:Autobot Super Scramble, formed by:
:*Scattershot, who gives the giant powerful firepower. (Torso and gun)
:*Skydive, making the giant capable of using high speed punch. (L. arm)
:*Air Raid, the man who works in strategy for the giant. (R. arm)
:*Blade, making the giant capable of moving quickly. (L. foot)
:*Nosecone, a tough man who has high durability.

:Decepticon Super Scramble, formed by:
:*Hun-Gurrr , who gives the giant powerful strength. (Torso and gun)
:*Dead End, making the giant capable of using a fiece punch. (L. arm)
:*Blast Off, making the giant capable of using high speed punch. (R. arm)
:*Brawl, making the giant capable of standing firmly. (L. foot)
:*Cutthroat, making the giant capable of jumping high. (R. foot)

It is preferable to upload jpegs instead (unless an image is a chart or something that needs to be very clear), because .png files are several times as large as jpeg files.

:I'd also say they could stand to be larger in the visual sense. I don't think we have a real standard, but I usually go for 500 pixels wide on the long side as a good trade-off between the required "low resolution" and the image actually being clear and visible. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 17:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Why are you reverting that guy's addition of the names used by characters in China? It's just as legit as the Japanese, Brazilian, Hungarian or French-Canadian aliases used by characters. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 07:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
:Names in Chinese-speaking region is somehow... a little bit chaotic, even thought the formal names exist, not every media use the same names. For example, TV use the A set while some magazines use the B set. Also, the anonymous user's edits are not so correct. I will try to rewrite about it. :) ps. IIRC, those names should be used in Taiwan instead of China. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 07:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy?

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested]. Greetings to all Wikia staff reading this anonymously! :)--[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] 06:53, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

==Cancelled TakaraTomy raffle==
These images surfaced back in April. They appear to be for a raffle that never took place, like the one for [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Activators Skywarp]].

What can you read from these images? This [http://www.allspark.com/content/view/8698/20/ AllSpark news post] says that Human Alliance Bumblebee was supposed to be clear, Cyberverse Ironhide was supposed to be green, and Cyberverse Optimus Prime was supposed to be clear, but the toy images do not look different... do the other toys have titles listed? Any help would be appreciated! --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:02, 14 December 2011 (EST)

:Um, the image is fuzzy, so I can only tell the following information from the image:
<pre>
"Bumblebee Prize" Bumblebee Clear Version

"Optimus Prime Prize" Jet Wing Optimus Prime Black Version

"Ironhide Prize" (Cyberverse) Ironhide ??? Version -> The words are too fuzzy to tell what the toy is called

"Last One Prize" (Cyberverse) Optimus Prime Clear Version

"Clear File Prize" 9 type and each set including three.

"Tumbler(?) Prize" 2 type

"Mouse Pad" 2 type

"Strap Prize" 2 type

</pre>
:While the information from [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg] have nothing special about the figure, only the spec, which is as same as the original toy, such as "With Sound gimmick", "Removable wing and Vulcan".

It will bring you (or children) to the dream world via objects around us.

They will transform into dream robots from those objects which are loved by the children, such as an airplane or a car.

By using hands, perhaps children's imagination will have a heart that strongly loves the justice.

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

Hey, TX55.

Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy. (Also, you marked your edit as "minor" even though you were adding actual content to the page, which is probably a bad idea.

:*Air Raid, the man who works in strategy for the giant. (R. arm)
:*Blade, making the giant capable of moving quickly. (L. foot)
:*Nosecone, a tough man who has high durability.

I put a delete tag on the Sideswipe photo you uploaded (It's actually from Transformers.com) because, well, its just a repainted Sunstreaker prototype, not Sideswipe. Its best not to use photos (even official photos) when things are so obviously wrong. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

:Oh wait, you didn't know. The 'Sideswipe' in the official Hasbro photos is simply a Sunstreaker they repainted. They displayed the real Sideswipe prototype at BotCon. He has a new head and hands. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy? The only online translation I can find is [http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/vok.txt the DiTillio bit,] which doesn't contain that passage. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 23:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

:::It comes from the glossary section along with the minor characters and other in-show elements within the ''Character Information'' section. It is canonical, well, at least not been retconned yet by far. ;-) --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 05:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I understand now. I thought previously the definition includes both TFU and in-story. Thank you! ;-D --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 13:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested]. Greetings to all Wikia staff reading this anonymously! :)--[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] 06:53, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

:Well, I hope there won't be any message about these left on my wikia talk page, because I don't know how to explain. Ha ha. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 08:30, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

==Cancelled TakaraTomy raffle==
These images surfaced back in April. They appear to be for a raffle that never took place, like the one for [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Activators Skywarp]].

This [http://www.allspark.com/content/view/8698/20/ AllSpark news post] says that Human Alliance Bumblebee was supposed to be clear, Cyberverse Ironhide was supposed to be green, and Cyberverse Optimus Prime was supposed to be clear, but the toy images do not look different... do the other toys have titles listed? Any help would be appreciated! --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:02, 14 December 2011 (EST)

:Um, the image is fuzzy, so I can only tell the following information from the image:
<pre>
"Bumblebee Prize" Bumblebee Clear Version

"Optimus Prime Prize" Jet Wing Optimus Prime Black Version

"Ironhide Prize" (Cyberverse) Ironhide ??? Version -> The words are too fuzzy to tell what the toy is called

"Last One Prize" (Cyberverse) Optimus Prime Clear Version

"Clear File Prize" 9 type and each set including three.

"Tumbler(?) Prize" 2 type

"Mouse Pad" 2 type

"Strap Prize" 2 type

</pre>
:While the information from [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg] have nothing special about the figure, only the spec, which is as same as the original toy, such as "With Sound gimmick", "Removable wing and Vulcan".

It will bring you (or children) to the dream world via objects around us.

They will transform into dream robots from those objects which are loved by the children, such as an airplane or a car.

By using hands, perhaps children's imagination will have a heart that strongly loves the justice.

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

Hey, TX55.

Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy.

I put a delete tag on the Sideswipe photo you uploaded (It's actually from Transformers.com) because, well, its just a repainted Sunstreaker prototype, not Sideswipe. Its best not to use photos (even official photos) when things are so obviously wrong. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

:Oh wait, you didn't know. The 'Sideswipe' in the official Hasbro photos is simply a Sunstreaker they repainted. They displayed the real Sideswipe prototype at BotCon. He has a new head and hands. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy? The only online translation I can find is [http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/vok.txt the DiTillio bit,] which doesn't contain that passage. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 23:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

:::It comes from the glossary section along with the minor characters and other in-show elements within the ''Character Information'' section. It is canonical, well, at least not been retconned yet by far. ;-) --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 05:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I understand now. I thought previously the definition includes both TFU and in-story. Thank you! ;-D --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 13:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested]. Greetings to all Wikia staff reading this anonymously! :)--[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] 06:53, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

:Well, I hope there won't be any message about these left on my wikia talk page, because I don't know how to explain. Ha ha. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 08:30, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

==Cancelled TakaraTomy raffle==
These images surfaced back in April. They appear to be for a raffle that never took place, like the one for [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Activators Skywarp]].

Any help would be appreciated! --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:02, 14 December 2011 (EST)

:Um, the image is fuzzy, so I can only tell the following information from the image:
<pre>
"Bumblebee Prize" Bumblebee Clear Version

"Optimus Prime Prize" Jet Wing Optimus Prime Black Version

"Ironhide Prize" (Cyberverse) Ironhide ??? Version -> The words are too fuzzy to tell what the toy is called

"Last One Prize" (Cyberverse) Optimus Prime Clear Version

"Clear File Prize" 9 type and each set including three.

"Tumbler(?) Prize" 2 type

"Mouse Pad" 2 type

"Strap Prize" 2 type

</pre>
:While the information from [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg] have nothing special about the figure, only the spec, which is as same as the original toy, such as "With Sound gimmick", "Removable wing and Vulcan".

It will bring you (or children) to the dream world via objects around us.

They will transform into dream robots from those objects which are loved by the children, such as an airplane or a car.

By using hands, perhaps children's imagination will have a heart that strongly loves the justice.

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

Hey, TX55.

Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy. (Also, you marked your edit as "minor" even though you were adding actual content to the page, which is probably a bad idea.

:Oh wait, you didn't know. The 'Sideswipe' in the official Hasbro photos is simply a Sunstreaker they repainted. They displayed the real Sideswipe prototype at BotCon. He has a new head and hands. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, I understand. :) And thank you for the correct information. ;D (Thank God Sideswipe really gets a new head.) --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 12:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy? The only online translation I can find is [http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/vok.txt the DiTillio bit,] which doesn't contain that passage. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 23:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I understand now. I thought previously the definition includes both TFU and in-story. Thank you! ;-D --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 13:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested]. Greetings to all Wikia staff reading this anonymously! :)--[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] 06:53, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

==Cancelled TakaraTomy raffle==
These images surfaced back in April. They appear to be for a raffle that never took place, like the one for [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Activators Skywarp]].

This [http://www.allspark.com/content/view/8698/20/ AllSpark news post] says that Human Alliance Bumblebee was supposed to be clear, Cyberverse Ironhide was supposed to be green, and Cyberverse Optimus Prime was supposed to be clear, but the toy images do not look different... do the other toys have titles listed? Any help would be appreciated! --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:02, 14 December 2011 (EST)

:Um, the image is fuzzy, so I can only tell the following information from the image:
<pre>
"Bumblebee Prize" Bumblebee Clear Version

"Optimus Prime Prize" Jet Wing Optimus Prime Black Version

"Ironhide Prize" (Cyberverse) Ironhide ??? Version -> The words are too fuzzy to tell what the toy is called

"Last One Prize" (Cyberverse) Optimus Prime Clear Version

"Clear File Prize" 9 type and each set including three.

"Tumbler(?) Prize" 2 type

"Mouse Pad" 2 type

"Strap Prize" 2 type

</pre>
:While the information from [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg] have nothing special about the figure, only the spec, which is as same as the original toy, such as "With Sound gimmick", "Removable wing and Vulcan".

It will bring you (or children) to the dream world via objects around us.

They will transform into dream robots from those objects which are loved by the children, such as an airplane or a car.

By using hands, perhaps children's imagination will have a heart that strongly loves the justice.

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

Hey, TX55.

Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy.

I put a delete tag on the Sideswipe photo you uploaded (It's actually from Transformers.com) because, well, its just a repainted Sunstreaker prototype, not Sideswipe. Its best not to use photos (even official photos) when things are so obviously wrong. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

:Oh wait, you didn't know. The 'Sideswipe' in the official Hasbro photos is simply a Sunstreaker they repainted. They displayed the real Sideswipe prototype at BotCon. He has a new head and hands. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy? The only online translation I can find is [http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/vok.txt the DiTillio bit,] which doesn't contain that passage. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 23:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

:::It comes from the glossary section along with the minor characters and other in-show elements within the ''Character Information'' section. It is canonical, well, at least not been retconned yet by far. ;-) --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 05:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I understand now. I thought previously the definition includes both TFU and in-story. Thank you! ;-D --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 13:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested]. Greetings to all Wikia staff reading this anonymously! :)--[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] 06:53, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

:Well, I hope there won't be any message about these left on my wikia talk page, because I don't know how to explain. Ha ha. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 08:30, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

==Cancelled TakaraTomy raffle==
These images surfaced back in April. They appear to be for a raffle that never took place, like the one for [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Activators Skywarp]].

http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/3/31/TakaraTomyDOTM2011RafflePrizes.jpg

http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg

What can you read from these images? This [http://www.allspark.com/content/view/8698/20/ AllSpark news post] says that Human Alliance Bumblebee was supposed to be clear, Cyberverse Ironhide was supposed to be green, and Cyberverse Optimus Prime was supposed to be clear, but the toy images do not look different... do the other toys have titles listed? Any help would be appreciated! --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:02, 14 December 2011 (EST)

:Um, the image is fuzzy, so I can only tell the following information from the image:
<pre>
"Bumblebee Prize" Bumblebee Clear Version

"Optimus Prime Prize" Jet Wing Optimus Prime Black Version

"Ironhide Prize" (Cyberverse) Ironhide ??? Version -> The words are too fuzzy to tell what the toy is called

"Last One Prize" (Cyberverse) Optimus Prime Clear Version

"Clear File Prize" 9 type and each set including three.

"Tumbler(?) Prize" 2 type

"Mouse Pad" 2 type

"Strap Prize" 2 type

</pre>
:While the information from [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg] have nothing special about the figure, only the spec, which is as same as the original toy, such as "With Sound gimmick", "Removable wing and Vulcan".

It will bring you (or children) to the dream world via objects around us.

They will transform into dream robots from those objects which are loved by the children, such as an airplane or a car.

By using hands, perhaps children's imagination will have a heart that strongly loves the justice.

:With regards to "dream robots" in the translations, is that "yume no"? We translated that as "fantastic" for the title of "[[Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime]]".

:''Starscream is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:RevengeOfTheFallenStarscream.jpg|right|350px|thumb|I got yer AllSpark, ''right here''.]]
'''Starscream''' is a hero on the wrong side. Over the centuries he's come to believe both [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] have lost sight of what is best for the Cybertronian race, and simply pursue their own agendas. At some point, he came to the decision that, for the good of the species, a new leader must emerge, and he would be that leader. However, over time, he became as corrupt in his own way as Megatron, although he prefers subtlety and deception to Megatron's brute force. Now, what may once have been noble goals are buried under layers of self interest, transforming Starscream into that which he supposedly despised.

{{quote|Truly the universe favors those who persist.|Starscream|''[[Ghosts of Yesterday]]''}}

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Many years before civil war broke out on Cybertron, Starscream was guarding a [[hatchling]] school trip when they were attacked by a [[Driller|subterranean monster]]. He was saved by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], much to his irritation, but Megatron liked Starscream's "feisty" attitude, and saw a place for him in the future of Cybertron he hoped to shape. He later joined Megatron's [[Defense Force]], and was very much at home, killing a [[malcontent]] that challenged the new order in spite of surrendering. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

[[Image:Defiance1_Starscream_Ratchet.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Someone is praising Starscream!? Stop the presses!]]

Later, he was patrolling the [[Eshems Nebula]] when he encountered the fourth alien scout ship he had spotted in the same [[Units of time|cycle]]. As he related this to first officer [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] of the [[Science Division]], this time the alien ship did not maintain a safe distance, forcing Starscream to attack, and he was damaged in the subsequent battle (and was late for a meeting with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and [[Lord High Protector]] Megatron). Soon afterwards, these same aliens attacked Cybertron, and Starscream commanded the aerial forces in the defense of the [[Simfur Temple|temple]] in [[Simfur]]. After Megatron was injured in battle, Starscream rushed to his side to enquire about his condition and to ask for further orders. He was informed to keep Optimus's team out of the military's way. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

Megatron was influenced by [[The Fallen|the mysterious relic]] found outside [[Simfur]] to wage a vengeful war against the aliens. Starscream attended a war rally at [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]] where Megatron assumed dictatorship of Cybertron and its armed forces. After destroying much of the enemy fleet and eliminating its leader, Megatron ordered Starscream and his fellow fliers to destroy the alien flagship and conquer the surrounding systems. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}} Underground opposition to the new regime came in the form of Optimus and his science division, something Lord Megatron would not stand for. While [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] and security officers arrested Optimus on trumped-up charges of treason, Starscream's squadron was given orders to capture Optimus alive and leave no living witnesses. Unfortunately, Optimus ''Prime'' proved more than a match for Starscream's entire unit, bringing down the ruins of a city upon them. The group survived, and were used by Megatron as "proof" that there were enemies within Cybertron as well as without, to rally his army into a new faction: the Decepticons. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}}

During the launch of the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', Starscream believed Megatron's propaganda that [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was a liar, and expressed disdain for Optimus's claim that he was a Prime too. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} During the subsequent civil war, Starscream blindly followed Megatron's orders, murdering those who did not bow to his Lord's will, even those who did not choose sides. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} During the Autobot assault on Simfur Temple, Starscream noticed [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] reaching the [[AllSpark]] and activating Sentinel's "[[pillar|torch]]". He pursued her but she escaped into the tunnels. Despite Megatron's desperate command to stand down, Starscream attacked Sentinel when he arrived on the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]], causing the ship to disappear in a tremendous explosion. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Starscream was inside [[Lord High Protector citadel|Megatron's citadel]] when Optimus launched another attack in revenge for Sentinel's death. While Optimus and Megatron faced off, Starscream and Shockwave fought their former captain, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. When the sky darkened, Optimus emerged and blasted both of them, allowing them to escape. The attack had actually been a distraction from [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]'s theft of the AllSpark after the first assault had exhausted Simfur's Decepticons. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}} Later, Starscream was leading an assault on the Autobots at [[Tyger Pax]] when [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] arrived to reinforce them. They witnessed the launch of the AllSpark into space, a desperate gambit by the Autobots, and immediately Starscream and Blackout began to bicker over their next move. Seeing Megatron leave the planet in pursuit of the AllSpark, Starscream decided that so would they. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}}

[[Image:Planetfall Starscream yesweare.jpg|200px|thumb|"Hey, what's that?" "I'd call it a TARGET!"]]

Starscream was concerned over the Autobots who still posed a threat, but Megatron ordered him to gather a crew to pursue [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[Ark (Movie)|ship]]. Unfortunately, [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]] was led into a trap and crippled by [[concussion pulse]] weapons, throwing them off the chase, for now. Humiliated, Starscream and his crew limped back home for repairs. Sometime later, they followed the AllSpark's trace energy pulse and the wake of Prime's ship to a solar system galaxies away. Landing on the [[Mars (planet)|fourth planet]], they destroyed [[Beagle 2 Rover|a primitive lifeform]] that seemed to have been created from the AllSpark, and felt the tag of the life-giving object on the third planet. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

Starscream's team made planetfall on [[Earth]] in Afghanistan, quickly attracting the attention of a nearby US military base, which sent out an armoured personnel carrier to investigate. After it was destroyed, the Decepticons attacked the base itself. During the rather one-sided assault, a human agent of Sector Seven was impressed by the alien invaders' ability to adapt to Earth's finest weaponry. Starscream agreed that they were impressive, and killed the fleshling. After Blackout left the group for another nearby base, Starscream told his fellow Decepticons that their mission wouldn't always be this easy, as the Autobots were bound to turn up. {{storylink|Planetfall (Movie)|Planetfall}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

In 2003, Starscream's infiltration team, consisting of [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and Blackout, touched down on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] and destroyed the [[Beagle 2 Rover]]. Starscream was disgusted with the rover, but Blackout and Barricade warned that there was an obviously intelligent species nearby, so they would need to be cautious. Starscream agreed, as long as they got to kill something. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 3|Movie Prequel #3}}

[[Image:MoviePrequel4 Starscream youcangonow.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Top this one, Samus.]]

Splitting up, they headed to Earth, where Starscream scanned an F-22 Raptor fighter jet being tested by the [[United States Air Force|US Air Force]] at [[United States Air Force#Facilities|Nellis Air Force Base]]. He destroyed it, then adopted the vehicle form for himself. Leaving the scene of destruction, he radioed his fellow Decepticons to report in on their hunt for new disguise forms, which they did. He reiterated that their mission was to find the AllSpark, to which Blackout responded with a reminder that the mission was also to find Megatron. Starscream dismissively replied, "Yeah, right... him too."

Later, Starscream and Blackout detected the unique radiation of the AllSpark and investigated, but Starscream soon realized it was a trap by Sector Seven. Starscream destroyed several AH-64 Apache helicopters while Blackout attacked Sector Seven's bunker and attempted to hack into their mainframe. When the humans severed the connection, the Decepticons broke off from the battle and linked up with Barricade, who was in pursuit of the Autobot [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 4|Movie Prequel #4}}

Starscream led the Decepticons to Earth while following the beacon signal used by Bumblebee to call the Autobots. In typical Starscream fashion, he seemed more concerned about collecting the AllSpark to further his own goals than to rescue [[Megatron (Movie)|Lord High Protector Megatron]]. Attracting the attention of a nearby military installation, they were attacked, but easily overpowered the humans, after which he and Blackout took their [[alternate mode]]s from vehicles on base. Starscream, along with Blackout, followed Bumblebee as he fled from a losing battle against Barricade.

Later, when Sector Seven tried to use a false energy signature to attract Bumblebee to their location, the Decepticons picked up on it and followed. Realizing the signal was fake, Starscream pulled the troops out and waited for the Autobots to arrive and flush out the AllSpark for them. {{storylink|Transformers: Beginnings}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel novel===
Starscream had ascended to Decepticon leadership in the absence of their former lord, and though he had to ''seem'' to carry on the long search for the lost Megatron and the [[AllSpark]] to keep his position as leader, his greatest hope was that Megatron would NEVER be found. Some loyal Decepticons, especially [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], strongly suspected this and sought to frustrate Starscream's species-serving plans. [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] buddied up with him, but he did like to trick people. [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] hated him, but one shouldn't really read too much into that. [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]]'s opinions are unknown, but Frenzy's a complete lunatic and nobody cared what the pet thought.

During a search of an abandoned solar system, the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]'' came across ''[[Ghost 1|a vessel]]'' that bore a resemblance to Megatron's [[alternate mode]]. Starscream went to investigate it, intending to destroy it. After chasing off [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he communicated with the creatures aboard the vessel, who called themselves [[human]]s. Starscream claimed that his people once lived with the [[Autobot]]s, and that their treacherous leader, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], started a war for the AllSpark. The humans told him of a robotic creature that they had found on their world, and Starscream, recognizing it as Megatron, told them it was an Autobot scout. While communicating with them, he downloaded all the information on their computers, learning that the AllSpark was also located on Earth. He offered to help the humans to return to their world if they helped Starscream's group attack the Autobots, hoping that Prime would destroy them and be guilt-stricken in the process. The humans attacked Optimus and Bumblebee, but the two Autobots escaped. After their ship sank into a cavern, Starscream revealed his true nature and abandoned them. As a result, the humans concluded neither faction could be fully trusted. Way to make first contact there, Starscream.

Returning to the battle, he lied to his fellow Decepticons, claiming that the two Autobots were dead and that he'd been unable to communicate with the humans. Blackout, unconvinced by the story, challenged Starscream to single combat. Starscream won, and the Decepticons launched an attack on the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]''. Unfortunately for Starscream, Optimus, Bumblebee and the human vessel showed up. Starscream, fearful of the information that the ship contained, ordered the Decepticons to destroy it. Unfortunately, Starscream experienced a minor mutiny when Bonecrusher and Blackout demanded answers, and even Barricade wanted to know why. As the battle drew to a close, Starscream was in a position to terminate Prime but came under fire from the humans' weapons. Seriously damaged, Starscream finished them off with a single plasma blast, then ordered the Decepticons to retreat, despite the advantage they had over the Autobots. The Autobots figured that Starscream would not risk traveling to [[Earth]] for fear of losing power, but Prime figured that it was only a matter of time before the desire for vengeance and the lure of the AllSpark brought the Decepticons to that world. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

[[Image:Movie2007_Starscream_HooverDam.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Starscream without the [[null-ray]]?! But... how can the fans possibly ''survive'' such a wanton desecration of their childhoods??]]

Starscream was lying in wait at a [[United States military|US]] air base when covert agent [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] reported that the [[AllSpark]] had been located, along with Megatron, underneath [[Hoover Dam]]. Though he had long feared this day would come, Starscream ordered the rest of the Decepticons to mobilize. The others responded, with Blackout rallying in the name of Megatron.

[[Image:Starscreammovieheadshot.jpg|right|300px|thumb|It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... a bird-legged freak that transforms into a plane!]]

The first to arrive, Starscream attacked the hydroelectric power plant attached to the dam to cause havoc to [[Sector Seven|Sector Seven's]] operations and to speed the thawing of Megatron. With Frenzy's sabotage, Megatron quickly broke free of his icy restraints and escaped the facility. He almost immediately met with the waiting Starscream, who repledged his loyalty to Megatron. Demanding to know what had happened to the AllSpark, Megatron was told by his [[second-in-command]] that it was now in the possession of the humans. Furious, Megatron berated his lieutenant for yet another failure. What a warm reunion.

During the assault on a [[Mission City|nearby city]], Starscream fooled [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox's]] unit by posing as an [[wikipedia:F-22 Raptor|F-22 Raptor]] providing cover. Starscream launched an attack that crippled [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] as [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] realized too late who the fighter really was. As [[Sam Witwicky|ladiesman217]] ran with the AllSpark, Starscream swooped down, blocking his path, only to be attacked by both Ironhide and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. After fighting without much effort, but still besting them, Starscream took to the skies again, instead of securing the AllSpark from the now-defenseless ladiesman217.

[[Image:Starscreammoviestillrobot.jpg|left|300px|thumb|How do you feel, mighty traffic? Yah!]]

While Megatron attempted to retrieve the AllSpark from ladiesman217, Starscream perched on nearby buildings and shot down an Army Blackhawk helicopter when it attempted to help the human evacuate the Cube. Eventually, real F-22 Raptors from the US Air Force arrived, and Starscream disguised himself. Pretending to be a part of their squadron, Starscream surprised the human pilots by transforming in mid-air and destroying three of the Raptors before he was fired upon. He transformed back into his disguise and fled, and was not seen in the closing moments of the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. (Or was he?)

[[Image:Starscream bails.JPG|right|300px|thumb|I will rule the sequel, Megatron! Even if I am the only one ''in'' the sequel!]]

Most of the Decepticons were defeated, and their bodies cast into the deepest part of the ocean. Ultimately, Starscream retreated from Earth to parts—and with intentions—unknown. {{storylink|Transformers (2007)|Transformers}}

Fleeing from the Mission City fiasco, Starscream repaired and reenergised himself from a nearby power plant, then fled into deep space to find Decepticon reinforcements. {{storylink|Starscream (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys|Deep Space Starscream}}

He eventually decided this was too time-consuming, and went back to Earth in a new stealthy form to wait for the Decepticons, alerted by the energy signature of the AllSpark's destruction, to come to ''him''. He succeeded in building a small army, and had them distract the Autobot forces while he launched a surprise attack on a lone Optimus. {{storylink|Starscream (Movie)/toys#Legends Class toys|Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream}} The battle ended with Optimus still alive and the Decepticons beaten on Earth. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Fast Action Battlers|Fire Blast Optimus Prime}}

===Beast Wars Diorama Story===
At some point, Starscream and multiple Autobots and Decepticons traversed dimensions and found themselves on a different [[Earth]], in the distant past. They crossed paths with new Transformer factions, the [[Maximal]]s and the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, who were engaged in a conflict called the [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]. A battle broke out between the four factions and Starscream found himself pitted against the Maximal [[Tigatron]]. He attempted to blast the Maximal from the high ground, only to get shot in the face, instead. [[Optimus Primal]] and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] then double-teamed Starscream, defeating him. With the battle over, the Autobots and the Decepticons returned to their home dimension, leaving the Maximals and Predacons behind to settle the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
{{Note|The following event is unique to the Titan Magazines comic continuity and thus doesn't occur anywhere else.}}

Within seconds of Megatron's defeat, Starscream dubbed himself the new Decepticon leader, with the main problem being that he didn't actually have any troops to lead. To amend this slight impediment, he attacked several [[AllSpark Mutation]]s and removed the energy from their bodies, which he then proceeded to implant into the corpses of [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]]. With his former comrades reanimated in this [[Zombie|rudimentary manner]], he directed the shambling husks to attack the Autobots, who were still recovering from their battle that had just finished. While the Autobots eventually destroyed the zombies, Starscream had escaped with several AllSpark energy fragments still in his possession. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}

[[Image:Tf mag 10 2008.JPG|left|150px|thumb|So evil, boats spontaneously explode rather than face him.]]
Starscream remained on Earth serving under Megatron—and taking orders from [[Dropkick]], who's got a higher rank. In secret, however, he was using [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticons]] to implant cerebro-strips in the heads of useful humans; at will, he could control their minds, paving the way for a more subtle conquest when he finally got Megatron out of the way. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}}

He became aware of the moon-based Autobots and while ordered to join [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in beating up [[NATO]], {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} he got bored during the mission and left as soon as he could to attack the moon-based Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 10|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} He beat them up and viciously taunted them, forcing them to take the initiative and go to Earth—just as he wanted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} As he hoped, the Autobots eventually won, killing Megatron, destroying the AllSpark and halting the cyberforming of Earth... leaving him free to take command of the Decepticons!

On top of that, he got his hands on the nanovirus the Autobots used on Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}} He also took the AllSpark interface module from Megatron's corpse and assimilated it. He started hearing Megatron's voice in his head some time after this... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

[[Image:InsecticonMovie.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Hey, Starscream's ''bugging'' us lolololololol]]

One of his first acts as leader was to begin a bombing campaign against any human attempt to rebuild infrastructure or regain a foothold in the United States. He then organised an attack that would get all the Autobots together so a NATO tank regiment (its commander under cerebro-strip control) could wipe them all out. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} While this failed, Starscream has still ensured the new [[President of the United States]] is under cerebro control—and the Autobots have no idea he's in command... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}}

As well as secretly overseeing scorched-earth strategies and attempted Energon grabs, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}} he also gained [[Mikaela Banes]] as a cerebro-controlled slave. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} When the bulk of the Autobots prepared to briefly leave Earth and had Mikaela watch over their [[Savannah]] base, Starscream just waited until they'd gone and effortlessly seized the place. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} As a result, the six hundred square miles around the Autobot base were swiftly seized as an autonomous Decepticon nation, with all resistance smashed easily. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}} This means, shockingly, he actually ''is'' a better leader than Megatron. ''[[Jesus]]''.

[[Image:Starscream Titan22.JPG|left|210px|thumb|"Stop looking at me ''stop looking at me!''"]]
He sadistically taunted Mikaela, hoping there was part of her that was screaming for help, before dispatching [[Jazz (Movie)|the corrupted Jazz]] and [[Kullt]] to assassinate Optimus. It didn't work. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

While preparing an ambush for the Autobots who he knew would come for Mikaela, he ranted to the Megatron in his head how he'd been a ''far'' better leader and how he was about to kill all the Autobots. His ambush almost worked too, and he almost killed Prime himself—only for the Autobots to turn out to have had a better plan all along, and escape. Admitting to the voices that he had failed and demanding a strategy from then, he realised to his horror that Megatron's mind had wanted him to take the interface module and had downloaded his brain into it; The voice ''really was'' Megatron and he was demanding to be released! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

He didn't release him, though Megatron did feed Starscream a strategy—blackmailing America into booting the Autobots out, then having Allen nuke their ship. This plan was a success, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part 1}} and a jubilant Starscream despatched his armies to seize the United States, all the while having his mind-controlled humans hamper ''any'' military counter-offensive. He was ''this'' close to total victory when [[Stockade (Movie)|''Stockade'']] turned up, turning a third of the drone armies and possibly two generals to his side, sparking a [[Decepticon Civil War]].

Watching everything collapse around him, a gibbering Starscream was visited by Megatron's voice again, telling him once again that the only way out was to release him and allow Megatron to live again... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}}

[[Image:Starscreamseesthings_Titan25.jpg|right|350px|thumb|"I'm as sane as the [[Thunderwing (G1)|next]] leader!"]]

...and this time, desperate and pressured, Starscream ''did''. With his mind now his own again, he realised to his horror what he'd done... but it was too late, he was now a minion again, and tasked to strafe Stockade's forces while Megatron took on the rebel himself. It all was for naught, however: the Autobots (surprisingly ''not'' dead!) intervened and forcibly teleported all the Decepticons to Cybertron, leaving Starscream trapped there ''forever''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

====Star Screams====
{{Note|The following details Starscream's tenure as letter-answerer on the Star Screams letters page.}}

{{bigquote|You could mark [your letters] 'All Hail Starscream' so long as you make it clear this is in no way a reflection on our glorious leader or a prelude to some sort of coup. Just so that we're clear on that.|Star Screams}}

[[Image:Star Screams logo.JPG|left|150px|thumb|Hate mail!]]
As of issue 7, he runs the letters page (renamed Star Screams from the original Mech Mail). He hates the letters, the readers, the comic, the editorial team, and probably the baby [[Jesus]]—but he's still got nothing on ''[[Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Starscream (Armada)|Starscream's]] [[Armada (Panini comic)|letter-answering stint]]. The source of his misanthropy appears to be that nobody ever sent in fan-art of him (#8). The few things he does like are recycling and environmental measures (#14), girls becoming Transformers fans (#19), and [[To sell toys|humans collecting his action figures]].

Autobot sympathisers are hunted down to be exterminated, especially those who dress up as Autobots (#8, #12 and #17), and even the Prime Minister isn't safe (#24). That said, Starscream appears to have a soft spot for his own fans—in #11, when a female reader complained her mum and aunt kept telling her she was too old for Transformers, he announced that the offending relatives had been shortlisted to spend forever polishing his armour with their own spit, bless.

In #8, he revealed he hates the movie because his best scenes and lines were cut out, and #13 confirmed the Decepticon army loathes [[Michael Bay]] for producing pro-Autobot propaganda. This still hasn't prevented him from shilling Bay's second documentary ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', as he believes it will depict a Decepticon victory (#10) and is going to ignore the script if it says otherwise (#18). Since then, however, he has come under the sway of an unknown higher power in regards to the film, one Starscream fears (#22)...

In #7, he expressed concern that this "[[Simon Furman|Fur-Man]]" was a [[Maximal]] agent, and warned that Titan Magazines would be destroyed if they continued to produce Autobot propaganda. By #13, the Decepticons appear to have taken over Titan and have imprisoned the staff and creators in cages, forcing them to work merely for food—it is surely no coincidence that during this period, Starscream became a successful leader of the Decepticons in the comic strip and that Starscream began wanting more issues brought out. This mistreatment is causing severe physical trauma to [[Steve White]] and [[Den Patrick]] (#19) though Fur-Man is still a free agent and is evading Decepticon capture (#21). Writer [[Robin Etherington]] appears to have angered him, as Starscream is believed to have deliberately miscredited one of his stories in #24. [http://www.studioblinktwice.com/announce.php?Year=2009]

He has incredible hate for [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], gleefully recounting the guy's horrible death and going berserk in #9 at the idea of Jazz answering the letters.

While he has said he talks to himself to get intelligent conversation and doesn't trust anyone (#9), he has shown some signs of wanting company: he hoped the [[Seeker (Movie)|Seeker]] jets would all be reunited in the next film (#9), is trying to convince [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to be in it too (#15), and wishes Ironhide would join the Decepticons (#16). Despite wanting to re-unite with Thundercracker, he shows contempt for the guy's lack of drive (#11). He views [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and Soundwave as potential successors if anything ever happens to him (#21). He also appreciates [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout's]] work (#23) and while he's annoyed the helicopter is more popular than him, he did go to the trouble of giving the guy a proper burial. (#25)

Starscream appears to have had several "off the record" adventures. He has revealed he once had an [[Starscream (G1)|F-15 mode]] and liked it (#9), openly confirming he was [[:Image:Starscream 1982.jpg|active in 1982]] and the impetus for the [[Hungry Dragon]] cover-up. He also refers to [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] also being an F-15 (#11), implying both were active in [[1982]]. He has also had some experience with and knowledge of [[Unicron]] (#12), something [[Transformers Comic issue 19|no other Transformer had]] and something that terrified him (#17), and in which he apparently witnessed Unicron trying to devour Cybertron (#19)...

He maintains that his voice is not [[Chris Latta|scratchy]] in any way.

Eventually, however, the constant stress of the letters drove him to a nervous breakdown, and he was sent to a very special home (or "on a mission of great importance", according to his cover story). He still produces a regular horrorscope. (Vol.2 #1) [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] has wondered about Starscream's ongoing absence, noting the home must have better security than the Decepticons first thought! (Vol.2 #12)

Starscream assumed the role of [[Decepticon leader]] on Earth following Megatron's defeat and the destruction of the AllSpark. Though tempted to exact revenge on the humans, he realized he might be the last functional Decepticon on the planet, so he escaped Mission City to recover the badly-damaged Barricade. Starscream gave him orders to continue his reconnaissance of the Autobot once he was able, and headed for Hoover Dam to retrieve Frenzy. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

Starscream made his way to Hoover Dam, taking out masses of human soldiers and a [[Landmine (Movie)|less-than-functional attack drone]]. Starscream took a [[Salazar|human captive]] along with Frenzy's body, but the fleshling didn't survive the Decepticon's trip to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. However, the trip, combined with the damage from the battle took its toll and upon finding his starship, he had to be helped inside by [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]. The pair discussed Thundercracker's progress with the space bridge terminal, the physiology of humans and the abilities of Starscream's new form. While recharging, he ordered Thundercracker to download the information from Frenzy; however, an Autobot scouting party interrupted their efforts. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}}

[[Image:ROSWannabet.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Let's hope that Dreadwing isn't revived by Unicron.]]
Starscream ordered Thundercracker and the drones to deal with them while he prepared for take off. After recovering, he made short work of the Autobots and dragged a damaged Thundercracker inside the ship, before activating the terminal and warping to Cybertron. He handed Thundercracker over to [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]], and ordered construction of a [[replica AllSpark]], based on Frenzy's data. Approaching Megatron's citadel, Starscream, still impressed by the power his new form gave him, destroyed the former leader's figurehead. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

A [[Units of time|quartex]] later, Starscream ruminated about ruling over a Cybertron free of war or factions, as well as bringing certain [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|war criminals]] to justice. He arrived at the AllSpark construction yard, busted [[Crankcase (Movie)|Crankcase]]'s vocal processor for whining too much, and chained him up along with [[Elita-One (Movie)|four]] [[Warpath (Movie)|enslaved]] [[Signal Flare (Movie)|Autobot]] [[Grindcore (Movie)|prisoners]] on the new AllSpark, ready to offer up their lives in exchange for a new life for Cybertron. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

[[Image:StarscreamandWreckageAlliance2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Yes, it is!]]

Things sort of went downhill from there, though. First, the AllSpark replica didn't work; then [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] rebelled. Then they saw that Arcee had snuck aboard Starscream's ship, led an Autobot attack on [[Simfur]] and destroyed the new AllSpark. In the ensuing chaos, Starscream, along with his few remaining loyal subjects, fought off the army of Dreadwing drones and assorted other traitors. Starscream tracked Dreadwing to the space bridge as he took a starship through it. By the time the ship arrived on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], it was damaged by Starscream's attack, but Dreadwing survived. However, Starscream also survived, revealed himself, and ripped out Dreadwing's spark core. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

After Dreadwing's betrayal, Starscream relocated to Earth, his aspirations for leadership and his faith in his fellow Decepticons shattered. As he brooded and carved AllSpark runes onto his exo-structure, he picked up a transmission from [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], informing Starscream of Optimus Prime's forthcoming journey to a Sector Seven facility where Wreckage was held. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1|Alliance #1}} Starscream recorded a message chronicling Megatron's death, the destruction of the Cube and Wreckage's betrayal before he left Mars. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] found the message upon his return to Earth, and deemed it a suicide note. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

Starscream arrived on Earth not long after Wreckage escaped. The two engaged in a heated battle, each accusing the other of betrayal. Wreckage managed to gain the upper hand, but the timely arrival of Bumblebee gave Starscream the chance to kill Wreckage. He thanked Bumblebee by blasting him, but was contacted by Soundwave before he could finish the job. Shocked that Soundwave was still alive, Starscream left with renewed vigor, believing Soundwave held the key to making a new army. Rendezvousing on Mars, Starscream informed Soundwave of Megatron's death and the AllSpark's loss, and was pleased when he was told a number of troops were headed for Earth, with more in stasis. After receiving co-ordinates to Soundwave's ship, a more enthusiastic Starscream left for the ''Nemesis'', aiming to bring the troops aboard out of stasis while Soundwave carried out "[[Star harvester|other orders]]". {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}}

===''The Veiled Threat'' prequel novel===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Starscream was in [[Zambia]] where he gained control of the rebel [[Human Accessory Force]] by synthesizing [[gold]] coins with his own body. He sent [[Macerator]], [[Dropkick]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] to blow up a series of dams along the Zambezi River. Although the three Decepticons were stopped by [[NEST]], Starscream intercepted them and killed [[Beachbreak]], who was hoisting [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] up Victoria Falls. He then oversaw the Decepticons attack on a dam along the Zambezi, but the action saw the loss of Macerator and Payload. With their plan in ruins, Starscream ordered Dropkick to retreat.

Little did Starscream know that not all of the troops Soundwave had brought were so eager to serve him for merely succeeding to the Decepticon throne. A number of Decepticons were working in secret to amass vast quantities of energy to locate Megatron and jump start his spark. Upon discovering the existence of this faction, Optimus surmised that Starscream would be hard pressed to withstand a coup, and the only way to secure his claim would be to destroy Optimus and the Autobots quickly.

Starscream flew to [[Italy]] where he allied with criminal mastermind [[Bruno Carrera]], promising him rule of Europe once Starscream ruled Earth if he helped kill Optimus Prime. [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] drew NEST to Rome, where Starscream challenged Optimus to one-on-one combat in the Coliseum: it was a trap, and Optimus fell through a hidden door into a set of restraints in an underground tunnel built by Carrera. The humans helped Optimus escape though, and Starscream flew off to pay Carrera back for his failure. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

He organised <strike>his</strike> the Fallen's Decepticon army and took them to Cybertron on the Fallen's orders. Unfortunately he was spied on by [[Mudflap (ROTF)|two]] [[Skids (ROTF)|Autobots]], and failed to exterminate them before they fled to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}} News of this made the Fallen ''very unhappy'', who ordered Starscream to remain on Cybertron and ''not fail again''. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

After the Twins' bumbling on Earth, they were suspected of being double agents and were to be sent into orbitary exile. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] ordered Starscream to take out the Twins' military escort in an effort to make them defect. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}}

[[Image:Titan8_Starscreamlastwords.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Are my eyes blue?]]

Later, after the Decepticons had captured the lost [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], Starscream sat in on Soundwave's interrogation of the old fogey. However, Ransack refused to tell them, and Starscream had to step in to stop an angry Soundwave from killing the guy. He volunteered to interrogate the ancient Seeker himself, but Ransack found the whole thing laughable: he knew the Decepticons were operating their ''own'' agenda while the Fallen was incapacitated, but they'd soon learn their freedom was just an illusion.

A few seconds later, the twins arrived to bust the base up. Starscream and Soundwave soon put an end to ''that'', and Starscream gleefully prepared to exterminate Mudflap at long last... Whoops, that gave Ransack the chance to shoot Starscream in the back and leg it! Desperate to keep the Fallen from knowing they'd been up to anything, Starscream and the other 'Cons chased after the Seeker. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Back-to-Back}}

[[Image:ROTF Megatron choke Starscream.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"We really shouldn't fight in front of the chil—" "SHUT UP!"]]
Starscream was unconcerned with reviving his leader Megatron, choosing to spend his time as acting commander on the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'' engineering a new army. His plan was failing miserably, as without [[energon (fuel)|energon]] the [[hatchling]]s were dying. After [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] successfully executed his plan to resurrect Megatron, Starscream (who may or may not have known of said plan) attempted to welcome his commander with open arms, only to be criticized for leaving him for dead. Starscream defended his actions by saying [[The Fallen]] decreed the spawning of a new army, and that in Megatron's absence, someone had to take command. This was a bad choice of words on Starscream's part, as Megatron slammed him into a hatchling sack and told him the simple truth: even in death, there is no command greater than Megatron's.

Megatron noted the plight of the hatchlings though, and sought the advice of the Fallen, whom Starscream had kept on life support, on another source of energon now that the [[AllSpark]] was destroyed. The Fallen revealed there was another source, and that the key to attaining it was through the boy who had killed Megatron. But first, The Fallen commanded that they kill [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], the last of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], so that he would be safe. Since Optimus would come to protect Sam, it would be a simple matter to capture him. Starscream arrived and announced that they had [[Alice|an agent]] within sight of the boy. He was eager to get that energon, as the hatchlings would keep dying without it.

[[Image:ROTF Starscream Sam Mikaela.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Damn things are everywhere.]]
Starscream aided in [[Sam Witwicky]]'s capture by cutting open the car [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]] had captured him in, and watched as Megatron and [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] threatened to dissect him for the information in his mind from the AllSpark regarding the energon source. Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] arrived to rescue Sam: Starscream let Megatron do most of the fighting in the factory, before Optimus blasted him through the wall and drove off with Sam to a forest.

[[Image:ROTF Prime Starscream arm.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"MY ARM!" "Oh, you want it back? HERE!"]]
Starscream arrived, immediately going for the boy, but Prime ran interference, grabbing Starscream, suplexing him, and kicking off part of his mouth, leading the three Decepticons to gang up on him. Surprisingly, it went quite poorly for the Decepticons: Prime was able to take on all three, using Starscream as a shield and sending his artillery flying at Grindor. After stabbing Megatron multiple times, Optimus ripped off Starscream's arm. Starscream could only cry out in horror as Optimus then used it as a club against the Decepticon. Although Optimus managed to kill Grindor, Megatron eventually managed to kill Optimus, but before they could retrieve Sam, the rest of the Autobots arrived while Bumblebee spirited Sam away. Megatron and Starscream were forced to retreat.

[[Image:ROTF_movie_MegatronStarscream_roofchat.jpg|thumb|right|300px|25 years later and I'm still your punching bag!]]

Starscream and Megatron flew to the top of a [[New York City]] skyscraper, where Starscream revealed that they had lost track of the boy. Megatron berated Starscream and hit him with the detached arm he was trying to stick in, furious that he lost track of a single insect. Starscream countered that there were seven billion insects on the planet, and that he could be anywhere at this point. Megatron decided to reveal the Decepticons' presence to the world: Starscream stood openly atop a skyscraper during the rejuvenated Fallen's announcement to the world.

After Soundwave learned that the boy was in [[Egypt]], Starscream flew to investigate. Locating the boy, he fired upon Bumblebee, [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]], who had Sam, [[Mikaela Banes]], [[Leo Spitz]] and [[Seymour Simmons]] as their passengers, bombing them to no avail. Bumblebee, Simmons, Leo, and the Twins drew Starscream's fire while Sam and Mikaela fled to the NEST soldiers. During his flyby of the NEST team, he released an electromagnetic pulse that took out the humans' communications, but saw Prime's body. Meeting Megatron atop the pyramid which hid the harvester, Starscream informed Megatron of his discovery, and Megatron ordered the [[Operation: Firestorm|assault]] to begin.

[[Image:ROTF Starscream grab.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Ceiling Seeker is watching you masturbate. And he will no longer tolerate it.]]

As Sam and Mikaela tried to reach Optimus to revive him with the [[Matrix of Leadership]], Starscream led several [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] and [[Protoform]]s in a search for Sam. It wasn't going very well, to the point that Starscream started shooting the ground in anger. An [[Insecticon (Movie)|Insecticon]] managed to find them, and Starscream tore the roof off the building they were in and fired at them as they jumped off another building, but the two humans managed to lose them again. Starscream then took to the sky to locate them, and ordered [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]] to hold Sam's parents [[Ron Witwicky|Ron]] and [[Judy Witwicky|Judy]] for ransom: Sam was ready to exchange the Matrix, but Bumblebee rescued them and killed Rampage. Starscream was unable to search for Sam any longer and was soon drawn into the battle with [[NEST]], joining his comrades in firing on them.

[[Image:ROTF Starscream cowards survive.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Not to call you a coward-Oh heck, you are a coward!"]]
Starscream avoided the carpet bombing which killed many other Decepticons, and watched from afar as Optimus was resurrected by the Matrix. Although the Fallen obtained the Matrix and activated his star harvester, the last of the Primes combined with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], killed the Fallen and destroyed the harvester. Starscream went to the wounded Megatron, who had lost his right arm and had half his face blown off thanks to Optimus Prime. Starscream advised his master that they should flee (cowards do survive after all), something that Megatron acknowledged, but asserted it wasn't over. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)}}

Starscream watched from the air as [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe]] interrogated [[Jack (ROTF)|Jack]]. As the other Decepticon announced the Energon would be his, Starscream corrected his obviously erroneous statement. When they found the convoy, Starscream dropped mines on the road in front of [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]], knocking loose the trailer-load of energon. While Mindwipe turned his hypnotic abilities on the two Autobots, Starscream landed behind them. The two Decepticons' bickering allowed Sideswipe to break Mindwipe's concentration, and he began grappling with Starscream while Ratchet went for the energon. Starscream quickly got the better of Sideswipe and threatened to rip his spark out, but Ratchet responded by throwing the energon and Mindwipe off a nearby cliff. Starscream dived after it, ignoring Mindwipe's pleas for help, and grabbed the energon. Ratchet shot the energon which exploded, but Starscream subsequently streaked from the flames in his jet mode, and the two Autobots decided to find somewhere safe to take cover. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 10}}

Starscream met up with Megatron in the Arctic sometime later, but it was far from a pleasant reunion - Megatron was pissed that Starscream openly defied him, and once again reminded him of his absolute power. Optimus arrived, and a two on one duel ensued. Soon, the Autobots arrived, and Starscream broke off to leave the duel to be leader-to-leader. Starscream took on Ratchet, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and Sideswipe all at once, and eventually was defeated. Starscream quickly fled the scene. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 12}}

Later, Megatron led Starscream, Barricade, Mindwipe, and Bludgeon to rescue the imprisoned Soundwave from the Autobots. However, Soundwave was only a hologram, and Optimus confronted the Decepticons. Megatron once again dueled Optimus, and Starscream told the others to wait until Megatron wore the Autobot leader down, then attack Optimus... only for Ratchet, Ironhide, and Bumblebee to arrive. In the ensuing battle, Starscream tried to flee, but was fired at by Ironhide, and Starscream retaliated by tackling and grappling with Ironhide on the ground. The Autobots' human allies arrived, and outnumbered the Decepticons a hundred to one, and Megatron was once again defeated by Optimus. The Autobot leader gave the Decepticons a choice: leave Earth or fight and die. Starscream, naturally, was the first to leave and abandon his leader, and Mindwipe and Bludgeon followed. {{storylink|Decepticons Attack}}

Starscream wanted to create his ''own'' Decepticon army and assumed there had to be some Energon sources and artifacts still on Earth to enable this: after all, why else would the Autobots stay? He tore through [[Peru]]'s Amazon rainforest looking for Energon and, in the process, a local tribe began worshipping him and erecting statues in his honour. He briefly thought about recruiting them.

When an Autobot/human team arrived, Starscream briefly engaged them in combat and shrugged off claims that they ''hadn't got'' an ulterior motive for being on Earth. To cover his retreat, he set fire to the rainforest so the Autobots would have to put it out rather than follow him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.17|The Kingdom of Starscream}}

At the Decepticon camp in Namibia, Megatron makes it very clear to Starscream, by way of a beating, that he does not appreciate being told how to do his job. Tired of endlessly submitting to the Decepticon leader, Starscream snaps, and flies off with the intention of starting his own 'New Decepticon Empire'.

When he detects a Cybertronian energy signature, Starscream pursues and sees a shape plummet into the sea next to an amusement park on the pier. The shape is [[Space Case (DOTM)|Space Case]], who, tired of "bein' pushed around", immediately attacks Starscream, punching him into a Ferris wheel. Starscream hauls himself up and opens fire on Space Case, but quickly realizes the identity of the rogue Decepticon. Knowing that Space Case is stupid enough to manipulate, Starscream starts to lay on the compliments, hoping to recruit him as the first soldier in his new army. With his promised reward for Space Case's loyalty being the [[Earth]], he eventually succeeds, and as the sun sets, they walk away from the ruined pier, Starscream now having found a partner who would listen to ''his'' thoughts, for once.

Starscream had set up a base of operations in a junkyard on the outskirts of Mexico City. However, the Decepticon known as Shockwave appeared with [[Ruination (ROTF)|Ruination]] and [[Deadlift]] at shooting range, explaining that he found the base by picking up [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s trail. Deadlift stood up for the commander, but was blown to bits by the Decepticon assassin. [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] then informed Starscream that his presence was requested by Megatron. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1}} After learning that a Decepticon Intelligence unit, called [[Brains]], had escaped to Sam Witwicky, Starscream rallied a group of Decepticons and attacked his college. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2}} Things didn't bode well for the Decepticons when Autobot reinforcements arrived. Starscream was able to retreat with the help of Shockwave and his pet. When the Decepticons returned to Namibia, Starscream complained to their leader. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3}}

Starscream and Barricade crashed an anti-[[Transformer]] protest in [[San Jose]], starting off by blowing up the [[Tech Museum of Innovation]]. While Barricade grappled with Ironhide, Starscream decided the whole affair was taking too long, and threw a tanker truck at Ratchet and some humans. Ironhide dealt with the tanker, but was caught in the explosion, leaving himself open for Starscream and Barricade to finish him off. That was when the two Decepticons were mobbed by the human protesters and Optimus Prime turned up. They departed with alacrity. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.4|Automatic for the People}}

Oh, how it pained Starscream to see his poor master Megatron in such a weak, damaged state at Decepticon High Command in Africa when he arrived back from an unknown venture. Megatron told Starscream to stuff it, and that he only knew what he was told. Starscream watched as [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Laserbeak (DOTM)|Laserbeak]] reported to Megatron that the Autobots had discovered the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' on the planet's moon and returned with an unknown, special cargo.

[[Image:Starscreaminorbit.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Ceiling Seeker is now Orbital Seeker. ]]
Later in Washington, D.C., as [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] summoned a Decepticon army to Earth via Space Bridge, Starscream was surprised to learn that Sentinel had been leaving to defect all those many years ago. He noted the brilliance in Megatron's scheme, and asked if Sentinel was now his partner, and Megatron retorted that Sentinel was his greatest triumph, and explained that they had intended to meet up on Earth, but both were waylaid by fate. Later, the Autobots were forced by the humans into exile by Sentinel's demand, and their ship, the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'', departed Earth with them inside. Starscream, lying in wait for the moment high up in the Earth's atmosphere, swooped in for the kill, destroying the ship and presumably all eleven Autobots on board.

[[Image:DOTM - StarscreamSaw.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The film is in 3D? Great! Now I can kill real life humans!]] Starscream subsequently helped take Chicago for the Decepticons, and stood by his leader as they worked on their plan to bring Cybertron itself into Earth's atmosphere with Sentinel's Space Bridge. When the still-alive Autobots made an attack with NEST, he attacked the V-22 Ospreys carrying [[William Lennox|Lennox's]] team as they tried to sneak into Chicago using wing suits. Although Starscream took out most of the aircraft, Lennox and many soldiers managed to jump to safety. Later in the battle, Starscream took several potshots at [[Robert Epps|Epps]]'s team, separating [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]] and [[Carly Spencer|Carly]] from the soldiers.

[[Image:Dotm_Starscream_BOOM.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I know I don't have a head, but can I still become a ghost?]]

Relishing a chance to be alone with the fleshling once again, Starscream mocked and toyed with the human while trying to kill him. However Sam had a [[grapple glove|grappling hook]] from [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Que]] on hand, and fired it into Starscream's optic, partially and painfully blinding the Decepticon. Starscream flailed around in pain, causing Sam to fly through a building window. Then Lennox's team arrived and began firing on him. As he tried to return fire, Sam jumped onto his shoulder and stabbed a boomstick into his remaining optic, fully blinding him. Starscream began losing it, screaming in panic and pain as he tried scraping it out of his eye on the ground, cursing the human scum. Lennox attempted to free Sam from the grappling wire, but the panicked Starscream flew up to the top of a nearby building, taking them both with him. As he swore to kill the humans, the boomstick went off, fatally blowing off a large chunk of Starscream's head and causing his chest to explode, leaving his lifeless body to fall to the ground, breaking off several pieces while doing so. Lennox and Sam were saved from the fall by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and Sam nervously assured everyone Starscream was dead.

{{note|In an earlier draft of the movie's script, Starscream was originally meant to be the one who had shot down the Ark, but he was replaced by the [[Orbital Assault Carrier]] in the final movie (unless he had an alternate mode similar to those carriers), the alternate beginning for ''Dark of the Moon'' is used in the novelization and Foundation.}}

Starscream coordinated the missions for Blackout and Barricade while hiding in a military base. After receiving information from Barricade that Megatron had been located, Starscream ordered him to proceed to Hoover Dam, while he himself went to locate [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]. However, the humans were aware of the three Decepticons and used drones, weapon platforms, and fighters based on Cybertronian design. Starscream was forced to move back and forth between Bonecrusher and Brawl, rescuing them from human attackers, all to background music far too heroic for someone of Starscream's character. After taking a moment to enjoy the ruin he had made of the base, Starscream proceeded to Hoover Dam. Blackout informed him that the structure was blocking their scans, so Starscream ordered him to tear it down piece by piece to find Megatron and the AllSpark. When Megatron emerged, Starscream bowed before his [[Lord High Protector|Lord]].

At [[Mission City]], Starscream took a moment to [[Ramjet (G1)|ram]] Optimus Prime during the latter's duel with Megatron, and tried to go head to head with Optimus Prime but was knocked away. After Megatron absorbed the AllSpark and Earth was decimated, Starscream stood at his master's left side as the Decepticon leader declared their business on Earth was concluded.

===Transformers: Decepticons (DS)===
:''Voice actor'': [[Daniel Ross]]

After the disappearance of Megatron nearly a million years ago (yeah, we know), Starscream took over the Decepticons as their high commander. Arriving on Earth, he instructed [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Create-A-Bot]] to follow Barricade until he arrived. However, none of the other Decepticons would trust him, and he confided in Create-A-Bot a great number of secrets, including the location of the AllSpark and the identity of the lost Decepticon they were retrieving: [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Starscream reasoned that he hid these things because revealing them would lead to a power struggle, but no one bought it except the naive rookie.

Soon, though, the other Decepticons revealed the reason for their lack of faith (which Create-A-Bot found disturbing): Starscream was a morally ambiguous backstabber. Of course, Megatron wasn't much better, since he was a treacherous, black-hearted face-stabber, but at least he let you know where you stood with him. Once the Autobots returned the AllSpark to Tranquility, he gave chase after a now-AllSpark-empowered Bumblebee (in the single most frustrating level of the game), caught the "babbling fool", and destroyed a meddlesome Blackout, until Barricade got in the way.

After threat of execution for treason, Starscream proceeded to show the smaller Decepticon WHY Megatron picked him as his second-in-command: his brute strength and incredible battle strategy. After a severe thrashing, Create-A-Bot arrived with intent to kill. However, Starscream now had the AllSpark and was nearly unstoppable. They proceeded to battle over the Casino Strip, where Create-A-Bot took the AllSpark from him and smashed it into his chest. Create-A-Bot was knocked back and severely damaged by the blast, but Starscream remained as powerful as ever, perhaps more so now that the AllSpark had merged with his body. However, as was quickly proven, [[Starscream (G1)|Starscreams]] who receive [[Starscream (Armada)|ungodly power]] tend to explode, as Megatron found him and proceeded to chase and tear him apart. In his last breath, Starscream spat on Megatron's name, saying there would always be those who would question his power. Megatron simply replied by smashing his face in. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Decepticons}}

Starscream served as the main aerial assault unit, utilizing his rapid-fire Gatling cannon and his homing missiles. He could also activate a [[Null Reactor]], which slowed enemies down and increased the damage he dealt to them.

After the Decepticons lost possession of Mikaela, Starscream decided to seek out [[Theodore Galloway|NSA chief Galloway]], and force the location of the other remaining AllSpark shard, and Megatron's location, from him. The fleshing was known to be visiting one of several buildings around the canals of Sam and Mikaela's hometown, and Starscream destroyed each in turn, looking to flush out his target. Galloway was soon located, and Starscream took him for extraction.

The information gained from Galloway lead to the Decepticons capturing an AllSpark shard, and armed with this artifact, a team was sent to revive Megatron. Whilst other Decepticons descended into the sea to attend to their leader, Starscream and several Constructicons attacked the carrier group on the ocean surface. Seeking to eliminate their defense, Starscream destroyed the AA guns mounted on the larger craft, and then sank the small control boats in the area. Before long, Megatron rose from the ocean, and the Decepticons left the area.

When Sam and Bumblebee travelled to an east coast museum to meet with Jetfire, Starscream was ordered by Megatron to destroy the building and retrieve the boy. Although, under heavy fire from Autobots, Starscream collapsed the museum, Sam, Bumblebee and Jetfire escape via space bridge. After Megatron defeated their master [[The Fallen]], who was monitoring the progress of the [[star harvester]], Starscream immediately reported to Megatron that Optimus had deactivated the machine. Megatron took this reply well, and went off to activate The Fallen's hidden army of protoforms. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Following Sam Witwicky's flight to Egypt with Jetfire, Starscream fled with his minions to the abandoned foundry where the Decepticons had previously held Sam. Locating him, Optimus Prime battled it out with Starscream, forcing the Air Commander to retreat.

As leader fought leader, [[Seeker (Movie)|Seeker]] fought [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]], with Jetfire holding his own against Starscream until Optimus defeated Megatron and helped defeat Starscream.

He apologized to his master for failing to kill Optimus, but The Fallen was pleased with the AllSpark fragment, and sent Starscream to attack NEST HQ as a diversion. Starscream attempted to reach the central core before [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] but lost the race and was locked out.

Starscream passed on [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s orders a lot, and occasionally deigned to assist his fellow Decepticons by carpet-bombing the Autobots. He was assigned to attack a [[NEST]] base, and ordered [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to create a diversion, only for Soundwave to question if the orders actually came from Megatron or not. Starscream then went to find [[Crowbar]], and ordered him to create a second diversion, only for Crowbar to tell him he needed to mellow out. Following that, Starscream ordered [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] to infiltrate the NEST facility and steal any data he could. Lockdown succeeded but was frustratingly slack in sending the data to Starscream. The data revealed that the Autobots had taken over a [[Sector Seven|Sector 7]] base in the [[Pacific]], so Starscream dispatched Lockdown and Crowbar to investigate. Next, he sent Lockdown and Soundwave into a NEST base to, respectively, destroy the communications arrays and steal Mechtech data. Soundwave was less than appreciative of Starscream blabbing loudly over the comms channel. After the Decepticons' [[Siberia]]n base was overrun by Autobots, Starscream contacted Megatron, promising that if the Decepticon leader didn't survive, Starscream would dedicate his reign as leader to honoring him. Perhaps to Starscream's disappointment, Megatron made it out alive with [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons|Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons}}

Evac was eventually slammed into a building and the grappling hook was severed and starscream flew onwards. He chose to "drop in" again when NEST helicopters arrived to provide air support for Evac and Optimus. After destroying one and moving in on Evac he was shot in the back by more Nest choppers and retreated in frustration. He was probably very happy when Megatron was deafeated.{{storylink|Transformers: The Ride}}

==Notes==
[[Image:ProtoformStarscreamProto.jpg|thumb|250px|Rar.]]
* Starscream's film design was initially conceptualized by designer [[Feng Zhu]].<ref>http://www.fengzhudesign.com/portfolio.html</ref>

* The card back of Protoform Starscream's packaging features a completely different, earlier head sculpt. What's more, this head design is featured on his protoform body in IDW's movie prequel comics. It's since become Starscream's standard "pre-Earth" face, likely out of consistency.

* His protoform was not the only design to get a new head. The earliest concepts of Starscream's head were more skull-like and oblong in shape. This was, of course, redesigned to look more "like a samurai helmet." Unlike the redesigned head of Megatron, Starscream's earlier face only shows up in ''one'' piece of media: the book [[Look and Find Transformers]].

* Starscream's final head design was one that was rejected for Megatron.<ref>''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' Blu-ray gallery</ref>

* It has been suggested that, following his attack on the F-22 squadron over the city, Starscream was able to hide among the survivors and take part in the attack on Megatron shortly thereafter. This theory is speculative; While it fits the character of the Generation 1 Starscream, there is nothing on the screen to suggest it. (Roberto Orci was asked, but refused to give a definite answer.)<ref>http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showpost.php?p=387172&postcount=185 Roberto Orci refusing to comment on the possibility of Starscream attacking Megatron during the final battle</ref>

* Starscream's bio for his Deep Space figure mentions that he re-energized himself at a power plant after the [[Mission City]] battle. Whilst this was not seen in the film, it appears [[The Real Effing Deal|others]] caught notice of it; [http://www.therealeffingdeal.com/blog/“mission-city-update-exclusive”/].

* The Sector Seven online ARG used the "[[Masterpiece]]" version of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] to represent the "real" Starscream who had infiltrated Earth. A lot of Generation 1 cameos were made in this manner. Make of that what you will.

* The downloadable content for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' game on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 gives Starscream [[Starscream (G1)|another form]] and a [[Sunstorm (G1)|repaint of it]]. Because of this, Starscream ends up with the most alternate skins of any character.

* Hasbro mentions that his arch-enemy is Megatron. [[Starscream (G1)|Like]] [[Starscream (Armada)|that's]] [[Starscream (Animated)|surprising]].

* His rivalry with Megatron was only shown in IDW comics and other related media, but was never shown in the three films, with the only hint for his desire of leadership was pathetic excuses for leaving him behind dead on Earth in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', along with obviously sarcastic comments and sinister hand rolling in ''Dark of the Moon''.

Goodmorning from Italy dear transformers's fan. My name is Giovanni and i'm an Italian transformers's fan.
My favourite transformer is Shockwave because he is cruel and he is an important Megatron's general.

==Picture uploading==
Hi, I removed that pic of the towtruck you uploaded onto Longarm's page, because the file size was far too large (the wiki software warns you when you upload a filesize over its recommended limits) and since there is no information as to where it comes from (TFW2005 is not the source in this case), I don't know of the legality of using it here. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)
:::Oh, I understand. Thank you. 01:31, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

==Primal launcher?==
Hey, TX55. In [http://transformers.wikia.com/index.php?title=Optimus_Primal&diff=next&oldid=96252 this edit] you said that Primal's chest was originally going to be some sort of launcher, and also added the "fact" template to your statement. Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy. (Also, you marked your edit as "minor" even though you were adding actual content to the page, which is probably a bad idea. Minor edits are for things like spelling fixes or changes of word choice, not for when you put new information in.) --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 21:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
:I've revised it. I used "citation need" because I know it was seen on the guide book, but I am not sure which one on the day I added it. Now I find the source. (Also, thank you for the . I understand now.:))--[[User:TX55|TX55]] 03:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

==Scrambles==
Hi, your article on Scramble Seven reminded me of something. Do you know what these are?

[http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Headmasters-Scrambles.jpg Picture]

They're from [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/hm-1.jpg this] book. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 22:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

:Mmm, I know the book but never read before. The two combined forms are just called "Super Scramble". They seems only show up in this book. I don't remember seeing them in the HM anime. ;D Every member formed the giants has their unique ability.

:Autobot Super Scramble, formed by:
:*Scattershot, who gives the giant powerful firepower. (Torso and gun)
:*Skydive, making the giant capable of using high speed punch. (L. arm)
:*Air Raid, the man who works in strategy for the giant. (R. arm)
:*Blade, making the giant capable of moving quickly. (L. foot)
:*Nosecone, a tough man who has high durability.

:Decepticon Super Scramble, formed by:
:*Hun-Gurrr , who gives the giant powerful strength. (Torso and gun)
:*Dead End, making the giant capable of using a fiece punch. (L. arm)
:*Blast Off, making the giant capable of using high speed punch. (R. arm)
:*Brawl, making the giant capable of standing firmly. (L. foot)
:*Cutthroat, making the giant capable of jumping high. (R. foot)

Is bad. We don't put it on here. Please don't do it again. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 03:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
:I understand now. Sorry, I didn't no it is stolen info. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 06:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

==PNG files==
It is preferable to upload jpegs instead (unless an image is a chart or something that needs to be very clear), because .png files are several times as large as jpeg files. I recommend you re-upload all of the screen captures you have already uploaded as jpegs. Thanks. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, I got it. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 17:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

:I'd also say they could stand to be larger in the visual sense. I don't think we have a real standard, but I usually go for 500 pixels wide on the long side as a good trade-off between the required "low resolution" and the image actually being clear and visible. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 17:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
::Oh, I'm afraid that I can only get the 315*240 files at present time. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 17:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

== Kansai? ==
Why include a link to a page about the Kansai dialect when Teletran 15 specifically speaks in a Kyushu dialect? If there's no page on Kyushu dialect available, a Kansai dialect page still isn't going to be of much use, is it?--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 14:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:Ouch, I was too careless. Thanks for correction. :D --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 14:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

== Chinese names ==

Why are you reverting that guy's addition of the names used by characters in China? It's just as legit as the Japanese, Brazilian, Hungarian or French-Canadian aliases used by characters. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 07:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
:Names in Chinese-speaking region is somehow... a little bit chaotic, even thought the formal names exist, not every media use the same names. For example, TV use the A set while some magazines use the B set. Also, the anonymous user's edits are not so correct. I will try to rewrite about it. :) ps. IIRC, those names should be used in Taiwan instead of China. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 07:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

==Japanese name==
Why are you moving stuff around in the lists of foreign names? They're placed in alphabetical order. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 15:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
:Ooh, I thought we could place the Japanese name(if exist) in the first 'cause the Jp name is much commonly seen. As for the other foreign names, well, I think I probably messed in some way. Thanks for notice. :D --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 16:34, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

== Sideswipe ==

I put a delete tag on the Sideswipe photo you uploaded (It's actually from Transformers.com) because, well, its just a repainted Sunstreaker prototype, not Sideswipe. Its best not to use photos (even official photos) when things are so obviously wrong. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

:Oh wait, you didn't know. The 'Sideswipe' in the official Hasbro photos is simply a Sunstreaker they repainted. They displayed the real Sideswipe prototype at BotCon. He has a new head and hands. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, I understand. :) And thank you for the correct information. ;D (Thank God Sideswipe really gets a new head.) --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 12:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

:::In case you haven't seen it, [http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&album=9353&pic=005.jpg&dispsize=600&start=0 this is Sideswipe's real head]. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

::::Wow, Thanks again. Appreciate t that. ^_^ --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 15:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, I don't owned one by far, but I am trying to find one ASAP. :-D --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 16:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy? The only online translation I can find is [http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/vok.txt the DiTillio bit,] which doesn't contain that passage. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 23:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:::I translated it by myself from the real book. The text file and the passage I translated belongs to two different sections. :) --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 03:25, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
::::Ah, okay, good to know. Which section did it come from? I ask because at least one portion of the book (the DiTillio info) is not considered canon here, so I want to be sure exactly where this information is coming from before incorporating it back into the article. - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 05:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:::It comes from the glossary section along with the minor characters and other in-show elements within the ''Character Information'' section. It is canonical, well, at least not been retconned yet by far. ;-) --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 05:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I understand now. I thought previously the definition includes both TFU and in-story. Thank you! ;-D --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 13:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested]. Greetings to all Wikia staff reading this anonymously! :)--[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] 06:53, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

::Er, that Japanese text reads "Fumio (or Ikuo) Miyazoe", not even close to "Yoshihiro Moritō".

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

:As far as I know and recall, the comic featured in ''Transformers Visualworks'' is different from "How-to".

:''Optimus Prime is the [[Autobot]] leader from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]]. He has [[Transformers: Rise of the Chevy Autobots|sometimes]] used the codename '''10-22'''.''

[[Image:Movieprime meettheautobots.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hello, pretty bird. GIVE ME YOUR FACE.]]

'''Optimus Prime''' is the leader of the [[Autobot]]s. Long ago, he was the humble leader of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s science division, which studied the [[AllSpark]], and were protected by [[Lord High Protector]] [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s military. When Megatron was corrupted by [[The Fallen]], Optimus discovered that he was the last of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], hidden away when The Fallen destroyed their lineage. In response to Megatron's attempts to seize the AllSpark and conquer other worlds, Optimus assumed his proper [[Prime (rank)|title]] and rallied the Autobots to stand against the [[Decepticon]]s.

As obsessively as Megatron strives to achieve his objective, Optimus is equally as dedicated to stopping him, even at the cost of his life, his world, and—if necessary—his own people. It was on his order that the AllSpark was jettisoned into space, dooming Cybertron to a slow death and his people to a nomadic life. The sacrifices he has made weigh heavily on his [[spark]], but they must be done, for there is no other choice. He knows the ambitions that lurk in Megatron's spark, and they must never see the light of day. Lives must be kept free from the threat of Megatron's tyranny, no matter the cost.
This obsession with the defeat of Megatron has robbed Optimus of some of his early idealism. This has created a certain ruthlessness beneath his otherwise honest and caring personality. Prime is not one for second chances and is willing to consider any action that might lead to victory, short of directly sacrificing those he cares about.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie prequel comics===
It was Optimus Prime's [[Prima|ancestor]] who finally vanquished [[the Fallen]] to another [[sarcophagus|dimension]] in the battle for the [[Matrix of Leadership]], {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}} but his orphaned descendant who was hidden away from the Fallen grew up with no knowledge of what he was. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[Image:Foundation1-literaldawn.jpg|left|thumb|300px|He's right, an actual literal dawn ''was'' involved. Put those knives away, English majors.]]

Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], a being who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself, found Optimus and recruited him into his cause. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Optimus and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] helped Sentinel Prime locate the AllSpark and harness a star for Cybertron to orbit, and these fantastic acts united Cybertron for the first time in known history. But Sentinel Prime had grown old and weary and refused to lead the Cybertronians, and, in confidence, he revealed to Optimus that he was a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], and that he ought to succeed him as leader. But Optimus could not believe he was a Prime. However, he believed by investigating Cybertron's history he could bring some of the good the Primes created back to the world. Sentinel redrew his plans for Cybertron, having Optimus lead the archaeological [[Science Division]], while placing Megatron in charge of Cybertron's [[Defense Force]]. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} Little did they know that Megatron had been eavesdropping, and Optimus's brother came to a jealousy-inspired conclusion. He didn't believe Optimus Prime had the ability to competently lead Cybertron, and that this series of events would one day pit the two against each other, until one was dead. Megatron vowed that it would not be him. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

[[Image:Defiance1 Megs Prime argument.jpg|right|350px|thumb|"Hey, I wanted a mouthplate!"]]

For two generations, Optimus and Megatron ruled Cybertron together. The two personalities created a balance; Prime was fair while Megatron was firm. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} After an increase in [[Malcontent]]s disrupting Sentinel's order, Megatron intimidated Optimus into giving him supreme power in defense of the planet. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}} When ''Lord'' Protector Megatron toured the excavation site near the AllSpark [[Simfur Temple|temple]] at [[Simfur]], he and Optimus clashed over several issues. While Optimus wanted to take the investigation slowly, all Megatron cared about was whether the site contained power similar to the AllSpark. Optimus nettled Megatron when he reminded the Protector that the science sector was in charge of scientific and archaeological discoveries, and that the defense forces had a tendency to treat such discoveries as hostile, to which Megatron responded that if and when he was leader, he could make such decisions. When a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] was uncovered, Optimus disagreed with Megatron's order for it to be removed from the ground. Just as the two were about to launch into yet another argument, aliens previously encountered by Commander [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked Cybertron. Megatron blackmailed Optimus into moving the relic into his personal quarters by reminding the science leader that the science division would like to protect the only intact relic from harm. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}}

Optimus ordered his science teams to help the survivors on both sides, in the hopes of finding out who was responsible and why they attacked. While he went off to find Megatron, he ordered the others to continue searching for survivors while [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] examined the alien remains. Optimus was shocked and appalled when Megatron ordered him to marshal his forces for war. Optimus objected, as his science division was not trained for combat, but Megatron retorted that the scientists should have known that aliens were after the AllSpark. He endured Megatron's insane fury when he accused the Protector of betraying that upon which their society was built. Later, Optimus called upon a meeting with his science division to ask them to stay by his side and continue on with their mission of peaceful research, as they were protectors, not soldiers. While the aerial-based Cybertronians followed Megatron into space, Optimus confided in [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] that Megatron sought to divide their planet, and he asked the former for help breaking into the High Protector's personal quarters. {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

[[Image:Defiance3_OptimusPrime_battle.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Man...Prime ain't foolin' around.]]

After noting that Megatron had restored the artifact to pristine condition, Optimus had to leave the military leader's quarters just before he returned. Back at [[Burthov]], he came upon [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], Arcee, and [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] scanning the pieces of the other artifacts. Arcee then discovered that the pieces all contained the same symbol on them, and that the same symbol was on Optimus' head. Ratchet declared that the symbol was proof of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], and it indicated Optimus himself was a [[Dynasty of Primes|Prime]]. Ratchet and the other Autobots began to dub him "Optimus Prime", although a humble Optimus noted they did not know what it meant and for all they knew, he could just be from a line of record clerks. As they discussed the revelations, Prowl was forced by Megatron to arrest Optimus, but this turned out to be a trap to kill him. Optimus bested Starscream and blew up [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]], while Megatron formed his new faction, the [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}} Optimus found Sentinel, Elita-One and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] under attack at the excavation site. He and [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]] rescued them and escaped through a tunnel. Optimus also informed Sentinel of the marking on his head that proved he was right all along: he was a Prime too. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}}

[[Image:Ark Bridge Defiance4.jpg||thumb|300px|right|"Who ''are'' all you people?"]]
Retreating to Burthov with his fellow scientists and Prowl's security officers, Optimus was acknowledged as the leader of the group, with Prowl serving as his lieutenant. He and Prowl were discussing sites for a new base when Jazz informed them that Captain Ironhide of the [[Defense Force]] wanted to see Optimus. Learning of Megatron's new starship, the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', Optimus Prime was convinced by his advisers that their side needed a ship of their own to prepare for any eventualities. The Autobots found themselves at an advantage when the ''Nemesis'' left Cybertron with the balance of the Decepticon forces, and Optimus himself took the fight to their enemies. However, years of bloody war devastated the planet, and Optimus saw no end in sight. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

Sentinel came up with a solution: a "torch" that would end the war without requiring the mass murder of the Decepticons. It required the AllSpark to activate, so Ironhide led the Autobots to Simfur Temple. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Elita-One successfully activated the torch, while Optimus fought off Megatron so she could deliver it to Sentinel. Sentinel boarded the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] and arrived at Simfur, but to Optimus and Megatron's disbelief, Starscream blew the ship up. The Autobots fell back. With the Decepticons exhausted, Optimus ordered Wheeljack to pilot the second [[Ark (Movie)|Ark]] to take the AllSpark from Simfur. To Elita-One's concern, Optimus declared he would be going on a suicide mission to kill Megatron. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Optimus, Ironhide and Elita-One made their way through Megatron's soldiers guarding his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]]. Optimus demanded Megatron face him, but the Decepticon leader responded by dropping the [[smelting pool]] on him. Ironhide pushed Optimus out of the way, but Optimus's face was heavily damaged. Optimus entered Megatron's chamber alone as Ironhide was attacked by Starscream and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. Optimus found Megatron surrounded by hungry [[hatchling]]s, gloating that Optimus was too weak to do what was necessary to win the war. Wheeljack then messaged Optimus, asking if they would go forward with removing the AllSpark. Optimus responded affirmatively, and Chromia and Arcee removed the Cube, darkening the skies of Cybertron. Optimus escaped, leaving Megatron to fend off his ravenous hatchlings, and rescued Ironhide. Returning to oversee the AllSpark's transportation, Optimus recognized his relationship with Elita-One had been forever scarred, and observed he still had a long way to go to being a great leader. {{storylink|Transformers: Foundation|Foundation #1-4}}

[[Image:Optimusprimemovieprequel.jpg|left|200px|thumb|All Primes are required to have window boobs.]]

The AllSpark was successfully ejected into space at [[Tyger Pax]], where [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] distracted Megatron. Prime and the Autobots were held up in [[Simfur]] during the launch. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} As they prepared to leave Cybertron on board the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'' to go after the AllSpark, Optimus Prime had some doubts about his decision, feeling that in buying them some time in the war, he had sentenced their world to death. [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] disagreed, pointing out that had Megatron been able to claim the Cube, all those that opposed him would have been destroyed, and that Prime had turned death into a fighting chance for the Autobots. Bolstered by Prowl's words, Prime resolved to rebuild their shattered home once they retrieved the AllSpark. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

Bumblebee remembered Optimus Prime's orders that they must launch the AllSpark into space, for it was better to lose it to the depths of space than allow Lord Megatron to corrupt it with his evil. For wherever there is hope, there is life. {{storylink|Transformers: Beginnings}}

{{note|Transformers: Beginnings is a condensed, flash-animated retelling of the [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] [[Transformers: Movie Prequel |Movie Prequel]] that is detailed above this section.}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
[[Image:OptimusMovie_GeoffSenior.JPG|250px|thumb|Starting as he means to go on.]]

When war broke out, Optimus studied the entire history of intergalactic warfare from any datatrack he could find—he studied whole campaigns to desperate last stands, gaining a focused "playbook" of warfare strategy. He understands warfare on a practical and psychological level, and in desperate battles knows to show no mercy to opponents beyond a swift death. <ref>''Autobot VS Decepticon Smackdown! - Megatron V. Optimus Prime'', #4</ref>

Optimus was the focus of constant attacks by assassin drones and killed them all. In the aftermath of one, he witnessed a prophetic vision of the [[Mission City]] battle and realised the AllSpark's ejection could spread war to other planets—but too late to stop the launch... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 1|Prelude: Optimus Prime}}

{{note|The following event is unique to the Titan Magazines comics continuity, and thus does not occur anywhere else.}}

Almost immediately after the final battle against Megatron, Optimus Prime had to lead the Autobots against a horde of [[Zombie|zombie]] Decepticons. Despite having no idea how they could be stopped and having had his power drained by fighting Megatron, Optimus continued to fight the monsters rather than let them run amok. Ratchet worked out a solution just in time before Optimus fell. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}

{{notetitantlg}}

In the alternate reality, Megatron defeated Optimus and took the AllSpark at [[Mission City]]. Prime's body was now partially frozen and in Decepticon hands. He was the last and only hope of the Earth resistance, and so Bumblebee and [[Mikaela Banes]] were not happy to find him offline. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}}

She thawed him out while Bumblebee distracted Megatron, and the revived Prime challenged Megatron to a solo duel... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} Unfortunately, Megatron's link to the AllSpark meant Optimus could not do any lasting damage and was never going to win. Luckily, Bumblebee and Mikaela saved the day, hitting the distracted Megatron with an old [[Sector Seven]] nanovirus. (Which means ''they'' were the last and only hope, but oh well.) Despite Megatron dying as a result and the AllSpark being destroyed elsewhere, Prime could take no satisfaction in victory: this battle was won, but the war remained... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

[[Image:Optimus_Titan12.JPG|left|250px|thumb|"Megatron's face must be cut off...no MATTER THE COST!"]]

He became resigned to the fact that Humanity, battered by Decepticon occupation, would view both Autobot and Decepticon as hostile invaders. When [[NATO]] was manipulated into attacking the Autobots, Optimus refused to allow his men to return fire, and after the crisis passed, he was sure that [[Starscream (Movie)|the Decepticons' unknown new commander]] was up to something bigger. Optimus also placed the last AllSpark fragment in the care of Ratchet, though he was worried exposure to Megatron might have corrupted it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2}} He was ''not'' happy when Ratchet "took care" of the fragment by bringing [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] back with it, who was left corrupted and amoral by it. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

Optimus Prime soon worked out that while the AllSpark's transformation of Earth had been halted, the damage had been done: the organic Earth and the technological transformation were now fighting for supremacy, killing the planet in the process. He called in a specialist team to investigate and limit the damage, while working with [[President of the United States|President Allen]]. In secret, he organised for [[Nucleon]] to be retrieved from the dead Cybertron and brought to Earth, as there was a long shot it could save the planet. He didn't tell the humans out of concern that if they knew about the plan and it failed, their hopes would be raised and dashed. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} It was bad enough that Nucleon was so unstable it could turn destructive... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}}

When the team on Cybertron sent a distress signal and reported [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade's]] Decepticons had captured the Nucleon, Optimus led the entirety of the Earth-bound Autobots (save Camshaft's team) to Cybertron as back-up. He was then surprised to see Cybertron coming to ''them'', looking [[Unicron|a lot meaner these days]]. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} The planet's possessor, Unicron, shot down the Straxus and the Autobots survived only by evacuating it in time in [[protoform]] modes.

Optimus landed next to Stockade's old equipment and, after being filled in by [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], he effortlessly formed an alliance with Stockade against Unicron. His plan was to drain the Nucleon away so Unicron couldn't use it as a power source, while the bulk of the Transformers provided a distraction, which turned out to be going underground and shooting up Unicron's body. The plan worked, Nucleon was secured for Earth, and Optimus extended an offer for Stockade to join them on Earth whenever he wished. Optimus was left optimistic that Autobots and Decepticons had come together in a common cause. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

On returning to Earth, he found the Decepticons had seized the Autobot base and six hundred square miles around it; he made the decision to withdraw to [[Washington, D.C.]], knowing that this meant leaving Mikaela in Decepticon hands. Upon landing at an air base, the Decepticon-controlled President Allen lured him into a trap, and he found himself fighting Jazz, now a Decepticon hired gun. Optimus lured him away from humans and prepared to engage him, but when a second assassin named [[Kullt]] turned up, Jazz gunned it down out of annoyance. Optimus had viewed Jazz as a lost cause but now stated there was still some Autobot in him: he ''could'' have let Kullt do the work for him and then killed him, but he saved Prime instead.

The battle made it clear to Optimus that Allen was under Decepticon mental control. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 21|Hard Target}}

[[Image:Optimus Titan22.JPG|200px|thumb|Freedom is not dispensed here, sentient fools, only DEATH!]]

As he'd promised Bumblebee, Optimus took the Autobots to get Mikaela back; he himself went first, launching himself in [[Protoform|protoform]] mode to land in Savannah like a bomb and tearing his way through [[Swindle (Movie)|drone hordes]]. He was quickly gunned down by aerial units and about to be killed by Starscream, but this whole flashy attack had been a diversion—allowing other Autobots a chance to hit the distracted air forces and nab Mikaela. After the battle, Optimus remarked Starscream was no Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

Optimus seemed to quickly bond with [[General Seward]], his military liaison at Andrews Air Base, but that didn't help when the mind-controlled President Allen had the government order the Autobots out of America. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 23|Revolution Part One}} However, Prime had anticipated this. Almost two weeks before, he'd had Ironhide task [[Tom Banachek]] to identify all the Decepticon puppets for him. With Allen making the expected move, he dispatched Ironhide and Bumblebee to set things up so that the following day, when the Autobots all departed, Allen would try to nuke them out of the sky and be fooled by a decoy ship into thinking he'd killed them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

To protect the Earth while they were undercover on Cybertron, Optimus had made a deal with Stockade to start a [[Decepticon Civil War]]. Optimus didn't trust Stockade to not renege on the deal and just take control of Earth for himself, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part Two}} but he ensured the Decepticons were set up for the Autobot's final strike: forcibly teleporting all of the enemy to Cybertron via Unicron's leftover teleportational engines, then stranding Cybertron in a remote solar system. Optimus led the troops to Earth and witnessed Megatron's return from the dead... only to ''thwack'' him flying. The next minute, both Megatron ''and'' Stockade (why wait for him to renege?) were teleported away, along with their forces.

This left the Autobots stranded on Earth and with a lot of clean-up to do. But Optimus had ''finally'' brought about the end of the war... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday''===
Optimus Prime led the search for the AllSpark in the ''[[Ark (Movie)|Ark]]'', a transport vessel. When they came across an abandoned solar system, they located [[Ghost 1|a vessel]] of strangely Cybertronian design, seemingly of Decepticon make. When the vessel fled to the surface of a planet, Prime dispatched Bumblebee to investigate while he and the other Autobots battled Decepticons from the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis]]''. Prime managed to defeat [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], and [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] all on his own. After losing touch with Bumblebee, Prime went down to locate him on the planet, where they were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and the alien ship. They fell into a cavern network, where they were further attacked by [[Worm-thing|indigenous worms]].

During their flight from the creatures, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee came across the alien vessel. Prime realized that they were trying to surrender, so the Autobots communicated with its crew. Optimus explained that they came in peace, "freedom is the right of all sentient beings," Starscream tricks everyone, and so on. However, the creatures, who called themselves "[[Human|humans]]", explained that they held Megatron, whom they called the Ice Man, on their home world, [[Earth]]. Realizing the destruction Megatron would wreak upon the humans if he escaped, and that the humans would be unable to defend themselves effectively, Prime vowed to see them return to their world to warn it. Prime was able to blast an opening in the cavern, and the group escaped. As they returned to the ''Ark'', Prime began to speculate that the AllSpark was what drew Megatron to Earth.

In the ensuing battle with the Decepticons, Prime was in the difficult position of fighting Starscream and protecting the human ship. His distractions allowed Bonecrusher to spear him with his tail. The difficult state nearly gave Starscream the chance to kill him, but the humans saved Prime's life by damaging Starscream, who destroyed them. Optimus Prime was inspired by their courage and sacrifice, and resolved to locate Earth before the Decepticons did—and hopefully before Megatron came back online. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

[[Image:Movie OptimusPrime protoform.jpg|right|220px|thumb|Having overenergized the previous night, Prime woke up abandoned in a field, with his wallet and clothes stolen.]]
The leader of the Autobots, Optimus Prime, came to Earth shortly after [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] sent his comrades a beacon. Upon atmospheric reentry, Prime managed to land outside of [[Tranquility]]'s inhabited areas. While Sam and Mikaela watched, Optimus transformed and left his landing place. From atop a hill, he quickly scanned the form of an Earth truck, thus configuring his body to transform into it. Prime, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] met up with Bumblebee and his human friends, [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] in an alley. In one of the most extended [[Transformation|transformations]] in the multiverse, Prime assumed his robotic form before the stunned humans. After confirming Sam's identity, Prime introduced himself and his team. When Mikaela asked of the Autobots' intentions, Prime explained the search for the AllSpark, the betrayal of Megatron, and why Sam was important to their search.

Glasses that belonged to Sam's ancestor, [[Archibald Witwicky|Captain Archibald Witwicky]], contained the location of the AllSpark encoded across its lenses, so Optimus Prime ordered his troops to wait outside Sam's house while Sam and Mikaela searched inside for the glasses. Much to Sam's exasperation, Optimus Prime, in his impatience, clumsily ruined his parents' garden, and the Autobots' heavy footsteps convinced them there was an earthquake. Prime's attempts to hide, such as having the Autobots transform into vehicle mode right in the backyard, were also less than satisfactory. Ultimately, Sam came so close to a panic attack that Prime was forced to order the Autobots to fall back. As Prime lectured his team on their supposed inability to remain quiet, Ratchet got himself shocked by walking into some powerlines, causing further problems. When [[Ron Witwicky|the]] [[Judy Witwicky|parents]] came to investigate, Prime's attempt to avoid discovery caused the house to shake, though this was to their benefit, as the father assumed that the damage to the yard was the result of an earthquake. Ironhide suggested that they kill the parents, but Optimus scolded his old friend. Despite all this, their presence remained undetected until [[Sector Seven]] arrived (in a convoy of GMC Yukons) and abducted Sam, Mikaela, and Sam's parents.

[[Image:Movie Optimus Prime S7 mad.JPG|right|300px|thumb|Get out of the car...what's left of it anyway!]]
Optimus Prime sent the Autobots in pursuit of the SUV that contained Sam, Mikaela, and Sector Seven's director, [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]]. Prime intercepted the vehicle carrying their young human friends, ripping the roof of the vehicle off, with the other Autobots disarming the agents, and made it perfectly clear to Simmons how pissed off he was at him for trying to apprehend the two children, regarding this as a bad move on Simmons' behalf. Optimus then ordered his comrades to relieve the agents of their weapons, and attempted to interrogate Simmons. The agents' lack of surprise at their appearance indicated that they had seen Cybertronians before, but Simmons refused to reveal any information. With a Sector Seven backup team en route, Prime ordered the Autobots to scatter, while he took Sam and Mikaela. While hiding under a bridge, Mikaela and Sam slipped and fell off Prime's shoulder. Bumblebee managed to catch them before impact, but was captured, and Sam and Mikaela recaptured, by the organization after their retreat. Now in possession of the glasses which could tell him the location of the AllSpark, Optimus regretfully left Bumblebee in Sector Seven's hands, knowing that if they went after him, they would have to use deadly force.

After regrouping the next day, Prime used the glasses to locate the AllSpark. Jazz again raised objections to leaving Bumblebee behind, but Prime remained firm in his belief of not harming the humans. Ironhide seemed okay with using deadly force, stating the humans were too violent, but Prime countered that when their time had come, the Cybertronians had been [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|little different]]. Going on to explain the potential he saw in the humans, as well as reminding them that "freedom is the right of all sentient beings", Prime revealed to the Autobots his real plan for the AllSpark: if they could not defeat the Decepticons, Prime intended to merge the Cube with his [[Spark|spark]]. Though this would destroy the AllSpark, Ratchet cautioned Prime against this, as it would also kill him. Prime believed that this was acceptable, vowing not to let another race suffer the mistakes of the Transformers. The glasses placed the AllSpark at [[Hoover Dam]] where, luckily, Bumblebee and the young humans were taken.

[[Image:Movie2007 Prime sword.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Swiss army Prime.]]
Optimus Prime's team met up with Sector Seven, Bumblebee, Sam, and Mikaela en route, who had planned to hide the AllSpark in nearby [[Mission City]]. While on the highway, he was attacked by [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], who managed to tackle Optimus and drag him over the edge of a freeway overpass. During the battle, Optimus struck the rage-filled Transformer so hard his [[Optic|optic]] popped out. As the Decepticon swung his claw wildly, Optimus drew his sword from his right arm and sliced off one of Bonecrusher's arms, before brutally finishing off his enemy by [[Decapitation|driving the blade through]] Bonecrusher's neck, severing his head.

Optimus arrived at Mission City just in time to observe Megatron discarding the remains of Jazz, and challenged him. Millennia in the ice had done nothing to lessen Megatron's hatred of his brother, and he launched himself in jet mode at the Autobot leader. Optimus leaped and grabbed hold of the wings, which was a really bad idea, as Megatron drove himself and Prime through an office block. As they flew out of the building onto the street below, Megatron transformed and leapt on top of Prime, declaring the humans undeserving of life. Prime rejected his claims, saying that they deserved to choose for themselves. Megatron threw Prime across the street, declaring that if he wished to defend the humans, Prime could die with them. He then formed his [[Fusion cannon|fusion cannon]] from his forearms. The power up time allowed Prime to draw his [[Ion blaster|ion blaster]] and fire, hitting Megatron. The Decepticon used the momentum to spin around, then used the fusion cannon to blast Prime across the street into another building. Megatron then resumed the hunt for Sam and the AllSpark.

[[Image:Movie2007 Prime truck.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He knows he's a sexy truck.]]
Tracking Megatron to the deserted building, Prime barely managed to catch Sam after Megatron knocked him off the roof. Telling the boy to hold onto the Cube, Prime attempted to scale down the building, but Megatron jumped on Prime, causing them both to fall down hard onto the street below. Sam survived, however, and Optimus told the boy that if he could not defeat Megatron, Sam must put the AllSpark into his chest which would destroy it. As Sam sought cover, Optimus faced down Megatron, and informed him that, "At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall". Unfortunately, Megatron, even after years of stasis, proved to be far too powerful for Prime to defeat alone. The unit led by Lennox and the Raptor squadron laid down suppressing fire as Megatron reached for the AllSpark, until Optimus finally took him down by sweeping his legs. Still, Megatron continued, crawling toward the cube. Believing he had lost, Optimus implored Sam to put the AllSpark into his chest. Sam instead thrust it into Megatron's chest, killing the Decepticon leader and destroying the AllSpark.

[[Image:Movie2007 Prime AllSpark shard.jpg|left|300px|thumb|The Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership|Dorito of leadership]]]]
As Optimus watched his brother die, he regretfully said there was little other choice. He also told Sam he owed him a debt of gratitude for saving his life, but was then informed that Jazz had not survived (Jazz was flapping around disrespectfully like a ragdoll during this sequence). Prime briefly eulogized his comrade, then commented that they had gained new comrades in the humans, and was honored by their bravery. Bumblebee, who had finally regained his voice, requested permission to remain with Sam Witwicky, to which the young human eagerly agreed, and Optimus approved. He noticed a fragment of the AllSpark in Megatron's chest cavity and removed it, then permitted the humans to dispose of the Decepticon corpses by dumping them into the deepest part of the ocean.

[[Image:Movie Optimus ending.JPG|right|300px|thumb|[['Til all are one]]!]]
Though Megatron was killed and his Decepticons were defeated, the AllSpark was destroyed, leaving the Autobots unable to restore Cybertron. The Autobots elected to remain on Earth, and Prime sent a message into deep space to any surviving Autobots in the Galaxy to come to their new home on Earth, their long years of searching having finally having come to an end. As the other Autobots rested (and watched Sam and Mikaela make out on Bumblebee's hood) Optimus Prime looked to the sky, hoping his message had been heard. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

When the AllSpark was destroyed, Optimus was ''bathed'' in its power and became a living receptacle: he could destroy or heal with the merest thought. He still remained dedicated to peace, and altered his exterior decorations to match the ones he bore as a young leader, before the beginning of the war. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Voyager Class toys|First Strike Optimus Prime}}

When the war turned out to ''not'' be over though, and with more Decepticons appearing on Earth, he was forced to alter himself to be used for stealth missions—something he finds dishonourable but knows has to be done.

[[Beast Wars (event)|On Earth in the past and in another universe]], a contingent of [[Maximal]]s, led by [[Optimus Primal]], battled a group of [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] in a forest. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story|Convoy Chapter}}

Some time into the battle, a warp opened, bringing with it [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], Optimus Prime, and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. Optimus Prime made fast friends with [[Optimus Primal]]; they joined their forces and double-teamed the injured [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who had just taken a blast to the face from [[Tigatron]]. Starscream then joined the Predacons. The two Optimuses commemorated their accomplishment of teamwork by shaking hands. The Maximals and Ratchet looked up with approval. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story|Tigatron Chapter}} [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] later appeared and joined the Predacons. As the battled raged, the [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] from Prime's universe came in through the warp. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story|Gimlet Chapter}}

Fortuantely for the Autobots and Maximals, [[Motorarm (BWII)|Motorarm]] arrived to assist. The two factions then took formation against each other with the intention of combining their energies to attack the opposing side. With [[Motorarm (BWII)|Motorarm]] leading the charge, the Maximals and the Autobots attacked first. {{storylink|Beast Wars Diorama Story|Motorarm Chapter}}

===IDW ''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics===
[[Image:AllianceOptimusHoloDriver.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Peter Cullen|Optimus Prime]] driving Optimus Prime! Sheer awesomeness!]]

Following the battle of [[Mission City]], and the destruction of Megatron and the AllSpark, Optimus Prime was left to ferry the body of his first lieutenant [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] out of the city in an abandoned trailer. Trusting [[William Lennox|Captain Lennox]] and his men, Prime asked the human soldiers to help the Autobots escape from the city, before [[Sector Seven]] and other untrustworthy humans could arrive. A month later, [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] managed to convince Lennox and [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] to call upon the assistance of Optimus Prime and the Autobots to escort the Decepticon remains, thereby hopefully reactivating the Decepticon [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] somehow. {{storylink|Alliance issue 1|Alliance #1}}

Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet and Bumblebee arrived at Sector Seven's Nevada desert base to escort to a naval base at [[California|San Diego, California]]. Optimus insisted on escorting Jazz's remains personally, and thanked Lennox for arranging a proper burial-at-sea for his fallen lieutenant. When he noticed the AllSpark shard seemingly reacting to the Decepticon bodies, he handed the fragment to [[Vine|Professor Vine]] for safekeeping until he returned. Shortly after leaving the base, Optimus had second thoughts about leaving the fragment in Sector Seven's possession, and ordered Bumblebee and Ironhide to turn around and retrieve the only remaining piece of the AllSpark. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}}

[[Image:Alliance3_OptimusPrime_Lennox.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"So erm, want to go back to my place?" "Prime, are you trying to get onto me?" "No dude, I just want to show you my collection of faces and heads!"]]

The convoy returned to the Sector Seven base after learning of Wreckage and Starscream's attacks. [[Salani]] retrieved the AllSpark shard and returned it to Optimus Prime, who felt the last piece of their heritage should stay with him. Weeks later, the Autobots and the soldiers with whom they served traveled aboard a [[United States Navy|US Navy]] carrier for Jazz's burial-at-sea and to observe the disposal of the Decepticons. Optimus deeply appreciated the humans' paying last respects to their fallen comrade, though he was concerned that even the great depths of the [[Laurentian Abyss]] were not enough to keep the Decepticon bodies hidden. Below deck, Optimus and Lennox agreed to a formal [[NEST|alliance between the Autobots and humans]] as the first line of offense and defense against the Decepticons. During training on the island of [[Diego Garcia]], Optimus Prime reminded the Autobots that they must work together with the humans as a team, never forgetting that division was what caused the war on Cybertron in the first place. When they were alone, Optimus Prime and Major Lennox complimented each other's leadership and the dedication of their respective troops. When Lennox commented that it was because of the Autobots that he and his soldiers were alive today, Optimus refuted this, saying it was because of humans such as Lennox and Sam, and that the Autobots were only part of the problem. Soon, both [[NEST]] leaders learned that the Decepticons had returned to Earth. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

By November 2008, Sideswipe had arrived on Earth, but was recklessly pursuing the Decepticon Demolishor in South America. Optimus was chastised by Admiral Morshower for this "grey area" in the Autobot ranks, but the Autobot leader assured Morshower he would settle it. Human relations were so strained the exasperated Optimus decided to forcibly bring Sideswipe in to end his rampage; however, Ironhide requested he go calm his former student down. Optimus agreed, but made his position clear: if Sideswipe could not be negotiated with... he would be ''dealt'' with. Ironhide eventually was able to calm his student, but not before Demolishor was let loose upon human civilians, AND the authorities were attacking Cybertronians on sight. Luckily, Optimus and a strike team had already arrived and had the authorities stand down, and Sideswipe joined the Autobot ranks. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 2|Tales of the Fallen #2}}

[[Image:Alliance4_Prime_killingspree.jpg|thumb|300px|Freedom is the right of all '''non-Decepticon''' sentient beings.]]

NEST was deployed to [[San Francisco]], where the Decepticons [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] and [[Dead End (Movie)|Dead End]] were wreaking havoc. Flushed out of hiding, the Decepticons managed to evade the other Autobots, but Optimus Prime quickly put down Dead End by ramming him head-on. When asked by Prime, he commented that he was fine, but he wasn't sure if Dead End was. On the way back to base, Lennox and Optimus Prime discussed Swindle's last words and were concerned that this was just the first wave of Decepticons coming to Earth, and that they were after [[Sam Witwicky]]. Optimus convinced Lennox that no matter what, it was Sam's destiny to become involved in this conflict, and they agreed to send Bumblebee back to the States to resume his role as the boy's guardian. Later, when Optimus observed the distrust for the Autobots held by Lennox's superiors, he suggested that they must work harder and that continued success would satisfy those above them. During the subsequent hunt for Decepticons around the world, Optimus Prime personally destroyed [[Jetstorm (Movie)|Jetstorm]], [[Dropkick]] and [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]]. As NEST's ranks grew, together they celebrated their victories and mourned those who made the ultimate sacrifice. One event brought joy and hope to the team: The arrival of Autobot refugees who were eager to protect their new homeworld. This joy was tempered by the fact more and more Decepticons were being sighted on Earth, and Optimus believed that there was some unknown that threatened their new home, their species and their alliance with the humans. {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

Even in the absence of the AllSpark, my conscience and that of my friends could not have allowed that.|Optimus Prime to [[Macerator]]}}

Optimus attended an initial [[NEST]] briefing about sightings of Starscream in [[Zambia]], and was placed in joint command with Lennox of a team to go there to investigate. He also advised some new Autobot arrivals about how best to fit in on Earth. In Zambia, they quickly tracked down three Decepticons, [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]], [[Macerator]] and [[Dropkick]] waiting at the Zambezi River. Optimus, Ironhide and Ratchet waded in to face their opponents, unaware that it was a trap — as they fought, they were dragged downriver towards Victoria Falls. Although the other two Autobots escaped the trap, Optimus was held fast by Macerator and plunged off the falls. While Macerator was caught mid-air by Starscream, Optimus managed to cling to an outcropping. He was rescued by the other Autobots present, utilizing [[Beachbreak]]'s tow line. Enraged by the rescue, Starscream killed Beachbreak, something Optimus regarded as a result of his own failure to lead. The team tracked Payload, Macerator and Dropkick downriver to the Kariba dam, where Optimus rammed two of the Decepticons and then fought with Macerator at length. He eventually triumphed, decapitating the Decepticon. As Dropkick retreated, Optimus stopped Ironhide from firing as he might have hit some of the humans nearby. They instead went to look for Payload, who had been swept away by raging waters from the dam emergency release.

Back at [[Diego Garcia]], two more Decepticon contacts were made in [[Australia]] and [[Peru]]. Optimus opted to lead the team checking Australia. After exploring the Outback for a number of days, the team discussed whether the Decepticons might be hunting for energy to resurrect Megatron, but Optimus doubted there was an energy source on the planet that could do so. They eventually encountered [[Kickback (ROTF)|Kickback]], [[Trample]] and [[Tread]], three [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s mining for minerals. Optimus found Kickback's sonic charge weapon to be a challenge, but with some help from Lennox, killed the Decepticon.

After they returned to base, Optimus's input into the conversation on how the Decepticons might revive Megatron was for the most part unhelpful. The subsequent appearance of [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] and [[Swindle (Movie)|Swindle]] in [[Rome]] led the Autobots to take another trip, but Optimus found Rome's narrow streets frustrating as he was unable to navigate them in his truck form. After [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knockout]] dealt to the two Decepticons, a furious Starscream challenged Optimus to one-on-one combat in the nearby Colosseum. Naturally it was a trap — Starscream had allied himself with a human, [[Bruno Carrera]], and together they trapped Optimus in a pit and set Barricade on him. With the help of four humans, Optimus broke free, threw Barricade into the pit and sealed him there. He then had only to show his face outside to where Starscream was fighting Ironhide, Ratchet and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], and the would-be Decepticon leader fled. {{storylink|The Veiled Threat}}

Since coming to Earth, Optimus has had to strive daily to gain credibility with the human powers-that-be. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

Even Optimus doesn't believe [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap's]] stories anymore! When those same twins arrived, Optimus was absent on a 'need to know' mission {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|Learning Curve}} in [[Australia]] with [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. When [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] landed on the continent, the two Autobots interrupted their mission to bring the bot in. It proved far more difficult than you'd expect, with the Decepticon able to outdistance them in the long run and better suited to the terrain. Optimus was knocked offroad when Sideways blasted him with exhaust, and Arcee reported her alt mode was too out of its comfort zone to keep up... which gave Optimus an idea.

That idea was to take ''away'' the terrain, blasting Sideways off the road and into the grass with projectile weaponry. Violence works!

Optimus took the prisoner to Diego Garcia, and on arrival was greeted with the sight of the twins brawling on the runway. He bawled them out over improper conduct, but before he could go further [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] made an attack. Taking fire, Optimus began barking out orders... only to be tripped up by Skids. Once he was up, Scorponok and Sideways had both done a runner. Knowing that the enemy could ''not'' have got this close without NEST security being compromised, Optimus was convinced by [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe's]] argument that the twins had turned traitor and had them taken away for questions. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.5|Reversal of Fortune}}

When the twins were sprung by Decepticons, Prime agreed with [[Theodore Galloway]] that the Autobots would make finding the twins a number one priority. However, Optimus was left suspicious when a [[Soundwave (ROTF)|mysterious "friend"]] tipped the Autobots off about the twins. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|Outlaw Blues}} Soon, it came out that the twins were being framed and by tracking the two, Optimus and his men found out about a Decepticon base near [[Mars (planet)|Mars]].

[[Image:ROTF-DemolishorPrime.jpg|thumb|right|250px|With the Legends and Voyager toys, this scene is ''just'' possible.]]
After the events in [[Mission City]] two years ago, Optimus Prime and the Autobots became part of a Transformer/human military group called [[NEST]], which hunted down the remaining Decepticons across the world. When [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] and [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] were detected in [[Shanghai]], NEST was deployed there, including the Autobots [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]], [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]]. Once Demolishor made himself known by transforming into robot mode and crushing dozens of cars along the highway, [[Robert Epps|Sergeant Epps]] radioed an overhead C-17 to release the Autobot leader. Optimus Prime parachuted out of a NEST cargo plane and landed in vehicle mode. He leapt off a bridge onto the Decepticon's head as he plowed through it. When the massive Constructicon refused his order to pull over, Optimus unleashed several blasts of his [[ion blaster]] into Demolishor's head. These shots, coupled with Ironhide destroying his tires, sent the titan crashing to the ground and into a warehouse. As he and Ironhide approached the dying Decepticon, Optimus asked if he had any last words. With his dying breath, the Constructicon stated that [[The Fallen]] would rise again. Optimus responded in the negative and unceremoniously executed him.

Returning to [[Diego Garcia]], Prime entered a briefing with [[Theodore Galloway]], the National Security Adviser who had been appointed liaison by the [[President of the United States|President]], and [[Morshower|General Morshower]], the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who was watching by satellite feed. Prime relayed the warning of The Fallen to them, but Galloway made no effort to conceal his hostility toward the Autobots. He noted that while they had given them intelligence and the sole remaining AllSpark fragment, Galloway took issue with their refusal to share weapons technology and their continued sending of transmissions into space. Prime told Galloway that the Autobots were aware of humanity's history of warfare, and Morshower said that all the transmissions had been vetted by NEST officers. Galloway also pointed out that despite Megatron's death and burial in the Laurentian Abyss and the destruction of the AllSpark, the Decepticons had not left Earth as Optimus had hoped, leading him to conclude that the Autobots were the ones who the Decepticons were after. When asked if the Autobots would leave Earth peacefully if told to, Optimus replied that they would honor their request, but warned Galloway to consider what would happen if the Autobots left but the Decepticons did not.

Unknown to Prime, the Decepticon [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] had been monitoring transmissions and spied on the briefing. Dispatching [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] to the island, he had his agent steal the remaining AllSpark fragment, killing several soldiers in the process. The incident left the Autobots with rather chilly relations with the United States. Seeking outside help, Optimus dispatched Bumblebee to retrieve Sam Witwicky from college in an effort to secure his testimony on the Autobots' behalf. Meeting Sam at an abandoned cemetery near his college, Optimus explained the situation. Sam was not receptive; in fact, he was quite hostile, saying that he had just started college and was trying to have a normal life. Knowing that fate often called at inconvenient times, Optimus impressed upon Sam the importance of what was going on, but Sam reiterated that the Cybertronian War was not his, and that they didn't need him. Optimus relayed his fear that it soon would be, and silently said that they needed him more than he realized.

[[Image:ROTFPrimevsMegsandScreamer.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Stick em' up!]]
Prime's fear soon came to pass, but in the last way he could imagine: the Decepticons had used the AllSpark shard to resurrect Megatron, who had learned that the knowledge of the AllSpark had been passed to Sam by a fragment Sam had touched, and soon captured him, Mikaela, and Sam's college roommate [[Leo Spitz]]. Heading to rescue the three humans, Optimus and Bumblebee ambushed the Decepticons in the [[Broadwater Metal Works|abandoned industrial complex]] where the teens were being held, just as [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] was about to perform fatal neurosurgery on Sam. Knocking Megatron and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] out of the building, Optimus managed to whisk Sam away from the plant. Optimus made it as far as the nearby forest when Megatron arrived. Going one-on-one with the Decepticon leader, Prime managed to hold his own, all the while trash-talking Megatron. Megatron then called for Starscream and [[Grindor (ROTF)|Grindor]], who quickly arrived. Prime was forced to run interference between Megatron and Starscream, who pursued Sam.

[[Image:ROTF Optimus vs Grindor.jpg|thumb|right||250px|''Frenzy is red,'' '' Rumble is blue,'' ''this poem doesn't rhyme,'' ''NOW GIVE ME YOUR FACE !'' ]]
As the battle raged, Megatron told Prime that the boy was the key to finding another energon source, then shattered his [[mouthplate]] and sent him flying back with a point blank shot from his [[fusion cannon]]. Megatron asked if the boy's life was greater than the future of their race, but Prime knew that he would never stop with a single life. Declaring that he'd take them all on, Optimus Prime unsheathed his [[Dual Energon Swords]] and fought a three-on-one fight against the Decepticons. Surprisingly, not only did he manage to hold his own, he was actually winning, managing to stab Megatron multiple times, slice off Starscream's arm and use it as a club, and rip apart Grindor's head. However, Megatron managed to stab his own sword through Optimus Prime's chest, following with a point blank shot through his injured back. Critically injured, Optimus implored the still-observing Sam to run. Although the rest of the Autobots soon arrived and drove off Megatron and Starscream, Optimus Prime was [[The_many_deaths_of_Optimus_Prime|dead]].

[[Image:ROTF Optimus death.jpg|thumb|left|250px|"You're so weak!" "Then why have I spent this whole fight kicking your a—"*BOOM*]]
Soon after, The Fallen made his presence known and demanded Sam Witwicky be turned over to him or the world would be destroyed. Galloway used this as a reason to shut down NEST and ordered the Autobots returned to Diego Garcia under guard, along with Prime's corpse (which Galloway callously denounced as a piece of scrap metal). Fortunately, Bumblebee, and [[Skids (ROTF)|the]] [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Twins]] managed to spirit Sam, Mikaela, and Leo away before The Fallen made his announcement. With help from their former enemy Seymour Simmons and the Decepticon-turned-Autobot [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]], the group discovered that Sam's mind contained the Language of the Primes, to which group The Fallen had once belonged. The human/Autobot group managed to locate the Seeker [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], who told them of how the [[Dynasty of Primes]] forged a [[star harvester]] to use a star's energy to replenish the AllSpark, and the [[Matrix of Leadership]], needed to activate the harvester, until they were betrayed by The Fallen, who tried to harvest [[Sun|Sol]] in defiance of the Primes' rule of the sanctity of life. Sam hit upon the idea to use the Matrix to restore Optimus to life, similar to how the Decepticons had used the AllSpark fragment to resurrect Megatron. Having been teleported to [[Egypt]] by Jetfire, the group managed to relay the information to Major Lennox and Sergeant Epps, who faked engine trouble over Petra, where the [[Tomb of the Primes]] was located. Unfortunately, the Matrix had turned to dust in the thousands of years since its entombment, but Sam still believed that it could be used to revive Optimus.

[[Image:ROTF movie Powered-Up Optimus Prime.jpg|thumb|right|250px|I'm bringing sexy back.]]
However, the Decepticons were still looking for the harvester and the Matrix needed to activate it. Sam was technically killed in the [[Operation: Firestorm|battle]], during which he communed with the six Primes from the tomb, who restored the Matrix. Jamming it in the fallen Autobot's chest, Sam used the Matrix to restore Optimus Prime to life. Unfortunately, The Fallen soon arrived. He stole the Matrix, and stomped on Optimus, sending him back to the ground. Having been fatally injured by [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], Jetfire offered his parts to Optimus, as only a Prime could defeat The Fallen, and snuffed out his own spark. After Ratchet and [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] finished attaching Jetfire's wings and thrusters to Prime's body, Optimus hurried to the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], which had been constructed around the harvester, and damaged the machine before it could destroy Earth's sun.

[[Image:TheFallen-ROTFfacegotten.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Your face is insufficient. GIVE ME YOUR SPARK!]]
Optimus Prime then faced Megatron and the Fallen on the ground. This against the odds battle went far better for Optimus, as he used Megatron's own fusion cannon to shoot off half his face and his afterburners to send him through some ruins. Optimus then battled the Fallen, using his Energon Sword to slice through his face. The Fallen countered by ripping off his left wing and striking him with it, but Optimus managed to grab the Fallen's own spear and impale him with it. Telling the traitorous Prime he had picked the wrong planet, Optimus used the spear to rip off The Fallen's face plate. As The Fallen tried to flee, Optimus Prime punched through his abdomen and crushed his spark core, killing The Fallen and forcing Megatron and Starscream to retreat.

On the return voyage home, Optimus thanked Sam for saving his life, as the boy thanked the Autobot leader for believing in him. Following this, Optimus Prime sent another transmission into space, detailing recent events so that the pasts of both races would be remembered, and also declaring that Humanity and the Autobots would face the future together. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

Following the later Fallen incident, Optimus continued operations against the Decepticons. [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt's]] over-enthusiasm began to muck that up, causing damage and getting NEST into trouble, despite Optimus' attempts to point this out to him. Optimus had to confine him to base. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.9|Culture Shock}}

[[Image:Titan10_Optimusgetsout.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Never had a human face before. GIVE ME IT ANYWAY!]]

Soon after that, he was drawn out into a trap by [[Trophy White]] and the [[Free Men]], who wanted to take his head as a trophy. Optimus worked out their plan and allowed himself to be captured by the deranged hunter, in order to keep the fight away from civilians. He pretended to be securely chained down and listened to White's sociopathic ravings, before (at the moment he considered funniest) breaking free and taking White prisoner. Shockingly, he found keeping the severed heads of animals as trophies to be ''bad'', and destroyed Trophy's trophies. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.10| Bring Me the Head of Optimus Prime}}

When there was a Decepticon breakout in [[South Africa]], Optimus ordered his men to let the prisoners flee: a battle outside [[World Cup|a major sports event]] would cause unacceptable civilian casualties. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|Inside Out!}} This led to a major collapse in Autobot popularity, and open battles with Decepticons in cities were just risking further alienation. In response, Prime created of a secret covert unit (even under NEST's radar) that would monitor the Decepticons, wait for windows of opportunity out of the public eye, and then hit hard and fast. While this worked, Optimus was left disquieted: the tactics he was using were too akin to the Decepticons, and a fine line was being walked. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.18|Shadow War}}

The Decepticon base was soon tracked to [[Russia]] and Optimus led a strike-team in. Unknown to him, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] had sold them all out to Bludgeon and the team was ambushed, getting killed one by one... {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.20|Divided Loyalties}} but luckily Megatron arrived to beat up Bludgeon for running a rival faction, and he flew away again after leaving an ominous threat to Optimus. So Prime didn't need to do any work saving his team or stopping Bludgeon at all! The end! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.21|A Short, Sharp Lesson!}}

===Cyber Missions===

[[Image:CyberMissions1 Optimus.jpg|right|thumb|250px|]]
Optimus Prime recorded some information on the Autobot-Decepticon war for preservation in [[Vector Sigma]]. Bumblebee and Ironhide were reviewing it when [[Bludgeon (ROTF)|Bludgeon]] and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] launched their attack. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 1}} The next morning, Optimus had been informed of the attack and Soundwave's capture, and he ordered Ironhide to wait for reinforcements to assist in pursuing Bludgeon. Bludgeon made that difficult for Ironhide. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 2}} Later, Optimus contacted Ratchet to inform him that [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] was causing chaos in [[Mission City]], and he reminded the Autobot medic to be careful. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 3}}

He and Sideswipe tracked Megatron to a disused factory, only to lose the scent. Megatron, having cloaked his spark signature, jumped out of hiding to attack them, and Optimus used his swords to attack the Decepticon. An appeal for Megatron to surrender was answered by a blast from Megatron's cannon bringing the roof down on the two Autobots, and the Decepticon escaped. Optimus promised that Megatron would no longer be able to hide. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 4}}

When Ironhide went missing after the incident with Bludgeon, Optimus searched for him, and Bumblebee revealed he was last near a cave with a load of [[Energon]]. That same cave happened to be where [[Mindwipe (ROTF)|Mindwipe]] was hiding. As Optimus went to rescue his friend, Mindwipe tried to hypnotize the Autobot leader, but Optimus was able to resist the hypnosis and defeat Mindwipe, leaving a confused Ironhide to wonder what was going on. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 5}}

Reports of [[Smolder]] attacking a building in [[Scramble City (city)|Scramble City]] resulted in Optimus dispatching Bumblebee and Ratchet to investigate. He filled them in on the situation en route. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 9}} During another mission, Optimus warned Sideswipe and Ratchet that they were being tracked, moments before the pair were attacked by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and Mindwipe. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 10}}

Bumblebee reported to Optimus that he'd managed to pinpoint the location where Megatron and Starscream were meeting, leading Optimus to confront the two Decepticons in an Arctic region. When Megatron expressed surprise that he'd come to fight them without backup, Optimus assured him that the Autobots were never far from their leader's side. While Starscream went to attack the others, Optimus and Megatron continued to fight, with Optimus emerging the eventual victor. As Megatron tried to goad him into finishing the fight, Optimus announced that the Autobots protected all sentient life, and that included the Decepticons. He subsequently allowed Megatron to flee. {{storylink|Cyber Missions 12}}

{{quote|By showing even one such as him the power of mercy, Megatron might realize that we'll never give up, no matter the cost.|Optimus Prime|"Cyber Missions 12"}}

Prime set up an elaborate trap involving a hologram of Soundwave to lure the Decepticons to a spot in the wilderness. The ploy worked, and Optimus attacked Megatron while his men attacked Megatron's troops. At one point during the battle, Megatron threw a train car at him, and he simply somersaulted along its length. Though Megatron boasted that the Decepticons would win through sheer determination, Optimus knocked him to the ground and gave a speech about building alliances, which was the cue for the [[human]]s to turn up in force and surround the Decepticons. Optimus informed Megatron that he could either leave the planet peacefully or be destroyed. Once the rest of the Decepticons fled, Megatron delivered a final threat before taking off. Prime celebrated with another speech, before admiring the huge Autobot [[insignia]] Bumblebee had stomped into the ground. {{storylink|Decepticons Attack}}

===Transformers Annual 2011===
An alert of Decepticon activity in [[Tokyo]] sent Optimus, Ironhide, Ratchet and Sideswipe to investigate. He intervened in Sideswipe and Barricade's battle to lift the Decepticon into the air, only to find himself under attack by Grindor. Ordering Sideswipe and Ratchet to cover him, Optimus scaled the side of a nearby office block so he could punch the helicopter out of the air. Standing over the two Decepticons, Optimus was surprised when they informed him that they were simply providing a diversion. Optimus realised that Sam was in danger, and rushed back to America in time to find Starscream attempting to abduct the boy. He jumped on Starscream's back, causing the Decepticon to flee and saving Sam from a kidnapping. {{storylink|Sam in Danger}}

===''Classified'' novels===
During the war on Cybertron, Optimus Prime fought in several [[Battle of Polyhex|battles]] in [[Polyhex]].

Optimus and Ironhide turned up to an attack on [[Nevada Test and Training Range]] by three Decepticons. Though he tried to talk them into abandoning the Decepticon cause, he was forced to kill them, especially when [[Bombshock (PCC)|Bombshock]] threatened to blow up some humans. Optimus took part in a meeting of some generals at the base, though he had to talk his way into doing so, as they were initially reluctant to include the aliens. Optimus disagreed that the Decepticons' target was [[Area 51]] and correctly deduced it to be [[Hawthorne Army Depot]]. When he arrived there with Ironhide, Bumblebee and Ratchet were already engaged in a battle with [[Reverb (ROTF)|Reverb]], however the Decepticon's personal [[force field]] made him impossible to hit and he did substantial damage to Prime. Once the shield was eliminated, Optimus defeated Reverb. Though Reverb asked Optimus to finish him off, Optimus instead took him prisoner. He also talked [[Marcus|General Marcus]] into allowing [[Kevin Bowman]] to join NEST. {{storylink|Transformers Classified: Switching Gears|Switching Gears}}

[[Image:Nefarious2 Prime on Soundwave.jpg|thumb|left|350px|Ass-whooping. Noun. To have your posterior presented to you with overwhelming force.]]
Lennox reported to Optimus via videolink on the halting of [[Alice]]'s rampage. Optimus mentioned that they should be more aggressive in tracking down Decepticons, but Lennox reminded him that NEST was low on resources. They decided on some "improvisations" in the form of newly-arrived Autobots. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}} Optimus was witness to Galloway balling out Lennox over the battle at [[Kingdom Petrochemicals]], but kept quiet. Afterwards, Lennox and Optimus discussed the [[Initiative|mysterious humans]] who had been seen at the petrochemical plant. When [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Sideswipe (ROTF)|Sideswipe]] came under attack from [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]], Optimus parachuted in and bested Soundwave. Soundwave attempted to persuade Prime to let him go, but Prime decided that instead they would take him into NEST custody for interrogation. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 2|Nefarious #2}}

Optimus oversaw the preparations of the facilities for holding Soundwave, rather than face having to tell Major Lennox what they'd done. He was only delaying the inevitable, and Lennox was even more annoyed when the plane carrying Soundwave was shot down. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 3|Nefarious #3}} When NEST received a distress call from Galloway, who was under attack from [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], Optimus sent [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] to assist. He also reminded Ironhide that just because the man was a "pain in the aft" didn't mean they could avoid helping him. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}}

[[Image:Nefarious5 Prime already too late.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"They've already put the bomp in the bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp"]]
Soundwave led the Autobots to the location of the [[Initiative]] base in [[California]], but the base was gone. Despite this, Optimus still trusted Soundwave as he believe the organization they faced had access to Cybertronian technology. Soundwave pinpointed the mobile base as being in [[Utah]], so the Autobots headed there. Part way, Optimus felt the power of something very like the [[AllSpark]] being used and began to realize what they were up against. They reached Utah and began an assault on the [[Initiative base]], only to find themselves facing brainwashed Transformers. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}}

As the battle continued, Optimus tried to call out for their foe to surrender the AllSpark they possessed, however [[Carter Newell]], head of the Initiative, responded by trying to use the artifact to terminate all Cybertronian life. An injury courtesy of [[Reedman]] aborted the attempt, and Newell tried to flee. Optimus was forced to ram the truck he was in to obtain the AllSpark, but realized the only way to halt the rapidly-destabilizing Cube was to
feed it his own [[spark]]. Luckily that turned out to be unnecessary, as [[Fortress (ROTF)|Fortress]] took the AllSpark from him and carried it into space, where it exploded. Optimus later noted that the Initiative data banks had been [[Soundwave (ROTF)|picked clean]] and wondered if anyone else could make an attempt to recreate the AllSpark. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

At [[NEST]] headquarters on [[Diego Garcia]], Optimus Prime tries to convince the Autobot refugees rescued from the clutches of the [[Initiative]] that they need more time to recuperate before returning to the battlefield. [[Armorhide (Movie)|Armorhide]] attempts to refute this, but only winds up proving Optimus's point when he accidentally calls him "[[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]", and has to stop mid-flow to remind himself they are no longer on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The exchange punctuates how important it is that the Autobots stop any more humans from exploiting Cybertronian technology, that being the purpose of the mission currently that very moment under way in eastern [[California]].

When [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-1]] returned to base after the mission, she shared a quiet moment with Optimus, losing herself in the sensations she could feel from the sisters whose spark she shared: The pain of Arcee's wounds, and the feel of Chromia's sword blade as she tested it against her fingertip. Prime quietly told her that she had never told him these things before, and she simply replied that he had never asked. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

When the Decepticons attacked [[Philadelphia]], Sam contacts NEST for aid, and the Autobots quickly mobilize, because of [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] injuries, he wanted her to stay on base, but allowed her to go anyway. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

During the flight, Optimus tried once more to have Arcee sit out of the mission. Elita reminded Optimus that is was Arcee's decision, and her desire for revenge was as strong as Elita's. Optimus tried to explain to her that victory at any price comes at a high cost, recalling the time on Cybertron when Prime let such an emotion overcome him. Elita's anger boils over and she chastises him for leaving her behind on Cybertron, only to witness Chromia's death and die herself, and she came back to life only to fight and kill more Decepticons. Optimus reminds Elita that he too had experienced [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|death]], but Elita explained that when he died, the Autobots actually cared. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After he arrived to Philadelphia, [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]] tries to radio Prime to let him know that Shockwave has attacked the base, freed Fearswoop and slaughtered all the personnel, both human and Autobot, but his transmission breaks up before Prime can comprehend his meaning, a battered Elita crests the horizon, fresh from victory over Astrotrain, and screaming a warning that it all a trap. Alas, no sooner has the word "Shockwave" crossed her lips, than the cyclopean Decepticon himself rockets down out the air, landing with ballistic force square on top of Elita and crushing the life out of her, Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots. Optimus Prime battled Shockwave destroying half of his face and body, Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's pet [[Driller]] came to save his master. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

===Titan Magazines ''Dark of the Moon'' prequel strips===

When a relic of [[Ark (DOTM)|an unknown UFO]] was discovered in Fiesole, [[Italy]], Optimus led a NEST team to secure the find. Starscream launched a surprise attack to claim it: Optimus ordered the human archaeologist to keep digging and fought the Decepticon, taking two blows before overpowering and thrashing him. But Starscream kept fighting, asking Optimus if there were things worth dying for. Optimus agreed and said he was willing to die to save Earth from Decepticons... at which point Starscream suckerpunched him and stole the artifact.

[[Image:Titan3-3_OpSoundwavefaceoff.jpg|thumb|left|350px|"Sorry Soundwave, you're going to need braces."]]

Optimus was left concerned about what the 'cons were up to {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.1}} but found himself distract by two minor plots of Soundwave's, first fighting him to stop him crashing the Earth's economy {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.2|Blood And Gold}} and then in [[Spain]] after he'd drawn [[Robert Epps]] and Bumblebee into an ambush. With Bumblebee near death, Optimus agreed to fight Soundwave without weapons if it would mean his comrade's survived, and he nearly died in the resulting fight. However, he managed to use Soundwave's sonic blasts and the local environment against his foe and emerged victorious. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.3|Dealing with the Devil}}

When Ratchet contacted NEST to let them know there was trouble at the [[Tech Museum of Innovation]], Optimus himself turned out to help chase off Starscream and Barricade. He later tried to convince the anti-[[Transformer|Cybertronian]] protesters that the Autobots were here to help, but Ratchet and Ironhide's actions during the fight had already convinced them of that, and their leader, [[Marcus Castor]], was already producing anti-Decepticon T-shirts. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 3.4|Automatic for the People}}

Sometime before the [[AllSpark]] was jettisoned into space, Optimus Prime personally witnessed the attack on [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s ship, the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' and assumed that the ship was destroyed.

[[Image:DotmOptimusPrimeReadytoRoll.jpg|left|thumb|300px|En garde!]]

Three years after the battle in Egypt, Optimus arrived with human [[NEST]] operatives in Chernobyl to investigate a report about the presence of Cybertronian technology on site. However, this investigation was interrupted by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and his tamed [[Driller]], attempting to steal the component. After driving them off and cutting one of the Driller's tentacles off, Optimus examined the piece of technology and, to his disbelief, identified it as a fuel cell from the ''Ark''. Optimus returned to NEST headquarters and refused to transform or speak to anyone until National Intelligence Director [[Charlotte Mearing]] arrived. He demanded an explanation from her, which she offered along with the corroborating testimony from [[Buzz Aldrin]] that the information had been known by a select few. Optimus explained that the ''Ark'' carried important technology that would have given the Autobots a clear victory in the Cybertronian Civil War, and was piloted by his predecessor and mentor, Sentinel Prime. Optimus mounted an expedition to the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] aboard the ''[[Xantium (DOTM)|Xantium]]'' with [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to explore what was left of the ''Ark''.

The two Autobots explored the ship and opened the crash vault in which Sentinel Prime had locked himself. Optimus pulled Sentinel from the vault and brought his former mentor back to Earth where he used the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to revive Sentinel. The former Prime awoke and attacked in confusion. After calming his mentor down, Optimus explained that they recovered five pieces of his technology, but Sentinel was disturbed by this news, explaining that purpose of the "pillars" was to form a [[space bridge]]. Optimus declared their peaceful uses to the humans, but Director Mearing objected, citing possible uses like transporting weapons and troops to the planet. The pillars were placed in human custody.

[[Image:DOTM-SentinelOptimusMatrix.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Sorry Optimus, I don't want it. Because when I kill someone, I want them to ''stay'' dead."]]
After this meeting, Optimus took Sentinel for a tour on the countryside at sunset, during which Sentinel commented on the peace and beauty of Earth. Optimus bowed and offered the Matrix of Leadership to him, declaring him the rightful Autobot leader. Sentinel refused, saying that while he was Optimus's master on Cybertron, here on Earth, Optimus was the more experienced of the two. After learning from [[Sam Witwicky|Sam]] that the Decepticons were targeting Sentinel because he alone could control the pillars, the Autobots were ordered to protect him. Running behind the group, Optimus returned to the NEST base only to find that Sentinel had betrayed the Autobots and NEST, killed [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], and escaped with the pillars. Mearing declared the subterfuge and defeat as the fault of the Autobot leader. Optimus voiced no defense at this accusation.

[[Image:DOTMSentinelOptimus.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Sentinel, can you put that sword somewhere else so we can talk?]]

Optimus subsequently tracked his mentor to the National Mall reflecting pool and attempted to stop him from bringing an invasion force to Earth. Sentinel fought and bested Optimus but spared his life, commenting that Optimus would come around to his way of thinking. Prime refused to be part of Sentinel's plan. Later, Sentinel denounced Prime and his Autobots as rebels, and demanded that human beings exile them. Fearing an attack from at least 200 hidden and entrenched Decepticon troops, human leaders ordered the Autobots off the planet. Prime complied with the order and gathered his troops to leave Earth immediately in the ''Xantium''. Despite Sam's pleadings to reveal his plan to fight back (and inform the Decepticons who had bugged him), Optimus replied they had no plan. He reminded Sam that the human was his friend and the fight against the Decepticons would now be his own. Shortly after takeoff, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] attacked and destroyed the ship. Optimus and the Autobots were presumed dead.

However, the Autobots had hid themselves in one of the disengaged boosters and survived, thanks to the ''Xantium'''s builders, the [[Wrecker]]s. Optimus and the other Autobots headed for Decepticon-controlled [[Chicago]] and arrived there just in time to rescue Sam, [[Robert Epps|Epps]], and a team of former NEST soldiers from a Decepticon [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighter]]. Optimus explained that the Decepticons would never leave Earth in peace, and that Earth's leaders needed to believe they had gone so that they could see the truth. As the other Autobots arrived on-scene, Optimus announced that they were going to take the battle to the Decepticons in the name of freedom.

[[Image:DOTM-Wreckers-Prime-Cables.jpg|right|thumb|300px|The proud Autobot leader in a moment of dignifed repose.]]

On route to Sentinel's location and that of the control pillar, Optimus and the Autobots were ambushed from below by Shockwave and his Driller. The Driller disengaged Optimus's trailer, but the Wreckers distracted the Decepticon assassin. Optimus managed to recover the flight tech from his trailer and attack the Driller from the air just as it prepared to eliminate Sam, [[Carly Spencer]], Epps and his soldiers. Optimus swooped through a building and punched a fatal blow through the Driller. Shockwave, angered by the destruction of his pet, shot at Optimus from the street. Optimus fell through a nearby unfinished building and was caught up in the wires of a construction crane. While the Wreckers tried to get him loose, Sentinel engaged the pillars and started to transport Cybertron into Earth's orbit. The Wreckers managed to free their leader, who swooped into the main battlefield and killed eleven Decepticons single-handed. Charging toward Shockwave, who had already been damaged by NEST soldiers, Optimus then ran his spiked fist through his side and tore out his eye. He then used his enemy's cannon to blast the control pillar, temporarily stalling the transportation of Cybertron.

[[Image:DOTMScrapper.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Banzai!]]

Optimus demanded his former master to come down and confront him. Sentinel complied, but when Optimus started to get the upper hand, Sentinel called upon Decepticon fighters to fire at his former pupil. Pinned down by the enemy fire, Optimus was prevented from attacking until the fighters were destroyed. Optimus engaged Sentinel again, but this time he cut off Optimus's right arm. As Sentinel prepared to deliver the final blow, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] charged up, shot Sentinel in the back and proceeded to heavily damage the older Prime. Megatron then proposed a truce to Optimus on the condition that he would be in charge again. After all, as Megatron put it, "who would you be without me, Prime?" Realizing that Megatron could not be trusted, Optimus replied that it was "time to find out." He swung his axe into Megatron's head and ripped it out, taking Megatron's spine with it.

[[Image:DOTM Autobots NEST victorious.jpg|thumb|right|280px|Hey, Ratchet, when you have a moment...]]

The damaged and helpless Sentinel explained that Optimus had to see why he had betrayed his own side, for their race's survival in the long run. Optimus refused and told Sentinel he had betrayed ''himself'' and the values he was thought to have upheld as a Prime. Despite his former master's plea for mercy, Optimus fired two shots from Megatron's fusion shotgun, executing Sentinel. With Cybertron now (presumably) destroyed, Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Dino, Sideswipe, and the Wreckers finally accepted Earth as their new home, and Optimus declared that the Autobots would never forsake the defense of Earth or its people.

{{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}
{{Note|In some early drafts of the movie, Optimus accepted Megatron's sincere truce, allowing him and his forces to return to Cybertron. Furthermore, he would have ended Sentinel's life with his own [[Cosmic Rust]] blaster in a round of poetic justice. Some of these scenes can still be seen in various adaptations.}}

====Autobot campaign====
Optimus Prime provided intelligence and missions to Bumblebee in his search for the AllSpark. Eventually, the clues led the Autobot to Sam Witwicky. After saving Sam from Barricade, Bumblebee finally completed preparations for the Autobots to arrive on Earth. Once on Earth and disguised as a truck, and having informed the two teenagers of their mission, Prime and the Autobots were discovered by Sector Seven. Optimus sent Jazz on a high-speed <strike>destruction</strike> distraction mission, then sent Ironhide to rescue Jazz from a double-threat posed by the government agents and various Decepticon scouts. When Bumblebee was captured, Optimus Prime chased the helicopter which from which the small Autobot was dangling. After a lengthy pursuit, Optimus managed to catch the net, only to be thrown off by another Cybertronian [[transition form|meteor]] passing nearby. As Bumblebee was carried away, Optimus promised he would not fail him again. Jazz informed him that the meteor was not an Autobot and Optimus confronted the new threat, who turned out to be the Decepticon triplechanger [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. The two battled it out across [[Tranquility]] before Optimus finally destroyed him, and in doing so, overheard [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s transmission revealing the location of the AllSpark.

Optimus then returned to an intel role as he guided Bumblebee in his mission to retrieve the AllSpark from Hoover Dam. Unfortunately, the Decepticons managed to free Megatron, leading to the final battle in Mission City. As the Autobots engaged in an all-out urban war with the Decepticons to protect Sam and the AllSpark, things seemed to take a turn for the worse as Megatron finally arrived. But before the Decepticon leader could claim the Cube, Optimus Prime attacked. The two leaders duked it out until Megatron was finally on the ground, seemingly devoid of life. Optimus knelt to take the AllSpark as Sam handed it to him, but Megatron suddenly awoke, leaping at the Autobot with his chain-flail out, and making one last attempt at defeating his adversary. Optimus grabbed the chain, pulling Megatron in closer, and with the AllSpark clutched in his fist, delivered a punch through Megatron's spark. As Megatron died Optimus reflected on the losses and rewards of this battle, as the Autobots have a new home. Optimus planned to guard the humans in secret, "For freedom is the right of all sentient beings." {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

====Decepticon campaign====
After Bumblebee, Jazz and Ironhide were all killed in Mission City, Sam and Mikaela informed their deaths to Optimus. Optimus noted their sacrifice and decided to defeat Megatron. In the final battle, Optimus Prime confronted Megatron at the top of a building, and fought back against Megatron while protecting Sam. Eventually beaten to the ground, and as he desperately crawled for the AllSpark, Megatron smashed his head with his flail, before using the Cube to destroy humanity. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

Optimus helped to advise his warriors in some of their mission to try locate the Allspark. Arriving on Earth, Optimus met up with the other Autobots to give further commands to his troops. [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]], the new rookie, was eager to help in the cause, but Optimus tells him to sit back while the grown-ups take care of business. After Jazz learned that Sector 7 possessed both Megatron and the Allspark, Optimus ordered Bumblebee to create a diversion so that they could get out of the city, but Create-A-Bot, fed up with the bureaucracy defied Optimus's orders and interfered in Bumblebee's mission, resulting in the scout's capture. After an argument with Ironhide over their priorities, the Autobots began making their way to the Hoover Dam.

After learning from Jazz that Bumblebee was being held in the dam, Optimus took pity on Create-A-Bot and allowed him the chance to redeem himself by freeing Bumblebee. After guiding Bumblebee to his weapon chip and the Allspark, Optimus and Bumblebee made their way down the highway when they were confronted by Barricade and a drone, and after defeating them Optimus realised they were a diversion so that they could unfreeze Megatron. Searching for his nemesis, he instead encountered Brawl, who he eventually killed before returning back to the city, where he rendezvoused with Create-A-Bot and Bumblebee with the Allspark, Megatron arrived and Optimus fought back. During the fight, Create-A-Bot sacrificed himself to save his commander. Megatron defeated, Optimus commends the young Autobot as a war hero, and sends out an interstellar message to any Cybertronians living among the stars. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

[[Image:ROTF game Optimus Prime.jpg|thumb|right|300px|One shall stand, one sha— oh, you know the drill.]]
Optimus Prime served as the Autobots all around fighter. Weapons wise, he possessed dual laser rifles and dual shell cannons. In melee combat, he possessed [[Dual Energon Swords|Dual Energy Swords]] in each hand. Finally, with his valiant leader ability, he could generate a shield around himself which would prevent his energy from dropping past 1%.

After overseeing Ironhide's defeat of [[Sideways (ROTF)|Sideways]] and Ratchet's rescue of Ironhide, Optimus Prime took to the field when a previously unknown Decepticon named [[Demolishor (ROTF)|Demolishor]] began attacking the [[Shanghai]] waterfront. Optimus was finally able to defeat him, but Demolishor gave a single warning before he was killed: "The Fallen shall rise again". Optimus and the Autobots were at a loss as to what he meant. Back in the United States, Sam Witwicky gave Mikaela Banes a fragment of the AllSpark that he had discovered, which the Decepticons soon sought. Prime dispatched Bumblebee to rescue her. Following this, the Decepticons launched a raid on the city's oil refinery, where Ratchet rescued several engineers. Finally, Ironhide escorted a NEST team to safety in the city's canals. Their victories were short lived. The Decepticons soon learned about the AllSpark shard on Diego Garcia, stealing it to revive Megatron. Although [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] managed to save the fleet, Megatron was reborn. He soon made an attack on Sam, trying to access information in his mind downloaded from the AllSpark. Bumblebee managed to rescue him. In light of these attacks, Optimus decided to give NEST the [[Axiom Gun]] to better defend themselves against the Decepticons. The escort came under Decepticon assault, but Prime was able to beat back the attackers and deliver the Axiom Gun to NEST. Soon afterwards, Bumblebee escorted Sam to meet with [[Seymour Simmons]], who told him of Jetfire, who then took the boy to Egypt.

While there, Jetfire explained what was going on: Eons ago, Optimus's ancestors, the [[Thirteen|13 founders]] of the [[Dynasty of Primes]], built a star harvester to convert the energy of the sun into [[Energon]]. When they discovered the humans, they upheld their rule of the sanctity of life, but one of the Primes defied the rule and murdered his twelve brothers. This Prime was known as The Fallen, but the star harvester was hidden from him. While Sam made inquires to the [[Tomb of the Primes|Tomb of the Twelve]], Megatron and Starscream arrived in an attempt to learn the harvester's location and kill Sam. Optimus Prime was able to defeat both Decepticons with Jetfire's help, but Jetfire was stabbed in the back by Megatron. Dying, Jetfire offered his parts to Optimus, as only a Prime could defeat The Fallen. Finding the harvester at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]], Optimus challenged The Fallen. Despite The Fallen's powerful command of telekinesis and pyrokinesis, Optimus Prime was able to get past his defenses and kill The Fallen by stabbing him through the face. On the return trip home, Sam expressed gratitude at seeing the sunrise, and told Optimus he would have to trust him on it. Optimus Prime replied that he had always trusted Sam, and always would. {{Storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====
When the revenant Megatron and the Decepticons rampaged across the United States of America, Optimus Prime faced him in a major city on the East Coast. The two leaders engaged in a titanic struggle that shook the city, but despite being aided by many Autobot drone units, Optimus was seemingly destroyed. However, much later, Optimus Prime reappeared when Megatron's master, The Fallen, activated the Star Harvester to drain Earth's Sun. The Autobot leader revealed that The Fallen's promise to make Megatron a Prime was a lie, as Primes were born, not made. When Megatron demanded his reward, The Fallen reneged on his promise. As the master and disciple of evil began to fight, Optimus left to find a way to disable the Harvester. {{Storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

===Revenge of the Fallen (mobile game)===
[[Image:ROTFMobile Optimus Prime.jpg|thumb|right|60px]]
After [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s destruction, Optimus hoped that they'd seen the last of the Decepticons and the Autobots began working with [[NEST]]. A signal in [[Shanghai]] led Optimus to discover a Decepticon invasion force there. He fought the foe solo, and followed an [[AllSpark]] signal to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Starscream managed to escape, and NEST reported that HQ was under attack. As he had to hang around to help clean up the mess in Shanghai, Optimus sent [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to help. Bumblebee was defeated by Starscream, but told Optimus that Starscream had said something about the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Believing he knew where the Decepticons were headed, Optimus went to find an old friend, [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]].

In Egypt, Optimus lost contact with NEST while investigating an area. He told Bumblebee to rendezvous with Jetfire at the [[Great Pyramid of Giza|Great Pyramid]], warning Bumblebee that he believed an energy signature he was detecting was [[The Fallen]]. Bumblebee later reported that [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] had defeated Jetfire and taken the Matrix. By the time Optimus reached the site, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had taken Bumblebee hostage and had possession of the Matrix. Optimus combined Jetfire's parts with his own, gaining enough strength to defeat Megatron. Exhausted by the fight, Prime was then confronted by The Fallen, but used the power of the Matrix to defeat the ancient Decepticon. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Glu)}}

====Autobots/Decepticons====
[[Image:DOTMDS Optimus Prime.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Concerned that the Decepticons were behind recent attacks downtown, Optimus sent [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] to investigate and, it turned out, he was right. With more information, Optimus contacted [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] to alert him that the Decepticons were up to something involving the possible resurrection of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s. He encountered [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] in the field, and took over Ratchet's mission as the medic was more valuable at base. During the course of the mission, Optimus encountered [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and chased him to a stadium where the Autobot leader was triumphant. Sometime later, the Decepticons attacked the Autobots' Pacific island base, and Ratchet and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] warned Optimus that [[Crowbar]] was around somewhere. Optimus bashed many Decepticons but didn't find Crowbar. When the Decepticons invaded a NEST base, Optimus was surprisingly keen for the Autobots to let [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] get away. They eventually tracked the Decepticons to a base in [[Siberia]], and Optimus insisted on going in alone, only to be overcome by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], who got away despite the best efforts of the other Autobots. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons|Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons}}

===''Transformers: The Ride''===
Optimus met up with the other Autobots after Evac had acquired the Allspark fragment, and complimented them on their good work. He told them to roll out, and proceeded to engage Megatron in battle. Megatron angrily demanded the Decepticons attack.

Later, Optimus attacked Megatron when he attempted to attack Evac and the NEST recruits. After grappling with him for a few seconds, Megatron pinned Optimus and fired a grenade at Evac, only to have Evac evade it and escape.

Optimus later appeared, having been thrown by Megatron onto a building. Megatron attempted to attack Evac once again, but Optimus interrupted, cutting a piece of Megatron's face. Megatron, however, fought back and easily dispatched of Optimus, but once again allowing Evac to escape.

When Megatron had attempted to attack Evac yet again, Optimus had again intervened. Megatron had attacked Optimus again, but Evac took this opportunity to fight back, and jammed the Allspark into Megatron's chest, overcharging him and killing him. Optimus appeared one last time to congratulate Evac and the recruits on their bravery.

==Commercial appearances==
* As part of the hype buildup to the first movie's release, Optimus Prime made a brief cameo at the 2007 MTV Movie Awards, interacting with host Sarah Silverman. The scene spliced Silverman into pre-existing movie footage, but featured new dialogue recorded for the event by Peter Cullen. Prime heavily hinted that he wanted to present an award, but was rejected for a regular MTV fan.

* According to a tie-in advertisement for [[Burger King]], Prime likes his Whoppers with no onions, no cheese, extra pickles, with a side of ????. However, due to a cruel twist of fate, he can never enjoy the sweet taste of beefy victory (and all because he needed a driver for him to receive his order). He saved the world from the Decepticons, and still he can't even have it his way? Where's the justice?

* Optimus Prime (in truck mode) made an appearance at [[BotCon 2007]], alongside the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. He was available for pictures all weekend. He made a second appearance at [[BotCon 2009]].

* Optimus threw a trailer during his appearance on an [[M&M's]] commercial.

* During the 2009 NBA Finals, a commercial aired where [[The Master Builders|Optimus made a slam dunk]] and shattered the backboard.

* On [[July 6]]th 2009, Optimus appeared on ''The Late Show With David Letterman'' to declare the "Top Ten Things That Sound Cool When Said By A Giant Robot". Optimus said it was nice to be there, although David was ''clearly'' concerned by having an 28-feet tall robot in the studio because of a bad history of robots messing up the place, and during the presentation Letterman decided there was something about Prime he didn't like. Anyway, the top ten was:
<ol>
<li value="10">"Jergens lotion leaves my hands silky smooth."</li>
<li value="9">"Do you have these khakis in size 114?"</li>
<li value="8">"My perfect night involves a pint of Haagen-Dazs and season three of ''Sex and the City''."</li>
<li value="7">"Man do I love me some 'taters."</li>
<li value="6">"It was so hot in Central Park, I saw a squirrel rubbing sunblock on his nuts."</li>
<li value="5">"You seemed a little pitchy, dawg."</li>
<li value="4">"Brody Jenner has added you as a friend on Facebook."</li>
<li value="3">"Live from New York, it's Saturday night."</li>
<li value="2">"My parents wanted me to be a Rabbi."</li>
<li value="1">"All the slammin' shorties in the house say 'Yeah'."<ref>[http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/video_player/index/php/991507.phtml Lateshow CBS archive video of Optimus's guest spot.]</ref></li>
</ol>

* To promote the DVD and Blu-ray release of ''Revenge of the Fallen'', Paramount set up a website where US fans could request Optimus call up their friends, warning them of Starscream's attempts to recruit human civilian allies.

*In the Discovery Channel promo, "The World Is Just Awesome," Optimus made a brief cameo, singing the words "boom-de-ya-da, boom-de-ya-da."<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0jZzBEKIMc Discovery commercial] on YouTube.</ref>

*Prime (voiced by Cullen, but not animated by ILM) appeared to promote a NASA competition to vote for videos made by children about NASA's impact on commonplace technology.<ref>[http://ipp.gsfc.nasa.gov/optimus/ NASA Optimus Prime]</ref>

*Optimus appeared in truck mode at [[Toy Fair 2011]]. He got a $115 parking ticket.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1357327/Transformers-truck-gets-parking-ticket-toy-fair.html ''Daily Mail'' article on Prime's fine.]</ref>

[[Image:Movie Primetruck before.jpg|right|150px|thumb|8:30 pm: "Trick My Truck". Tonight's guest: [[Alpha Trion (disambiguation)|Alpha Trion]].]]
* When Optimus' design was first revealed, [[GEEWUN|many fans of the Generation 1 series objected to the flames seen on Prime's body]]. When asked in an interview why he put the flames on, [[Michael Bay]] claimed he liked them because it was "cool". It was later revealed on a special featurette on the DVD that the flames were added because, apparently, red is not very good to film on camera, so Bay chose a blue truck but used the flames so that when Optimus transformed, the layout would result in maintaining his iconic red chest.

* In the director's commentary of the 2007 Transformers DVD, Michael Bay said that he had told the animators to seek inspiration from Liam Neeson in creating Optimus Prime's body language. ''Awesome''

* Optimus Prime's ''Rise of the Chevy Autobots'' codename, "10-22", is [http://www.truckercountry.com/cb-terminology.html#10c CB radio slang] for "report in person to." As in "Bumblebee, 10-22 to 10-22." Cute, huh?

* [[TakaraTomy]] officially recognizes Optimus Prime's vehicle mode as a [http://www.kenworth.com/2100_vir_w900.asp Kenworth W900 truck], even though the vehicle used for filming was a modified Peterbilt 379, a different model from a different brand, although both are made by the PACCAR company.<ref>[http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=121424?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..2.* Article at Edmunds.com on some of the vehicles used in the movie]</ref>
[[Image:Movie OptimusPrime truckrear.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]

* Optimus Prime's truck mode is apparently intended to haul a flatbed trailer, based on the presence of the large silver "headache rack", a piece of optional equipment that protects the driver in case a flatbed load breaks free during braking. It is generally not installed on trucks hauling enclosed container trailers.

[[Image:Movie Prime Trucklogomistake.jpg|right|150px|thumb|In the darkness, a PA will misread "Truck A" as "Truck B", and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth — Revelation 11:7.]]

* When Optimus Prime scans a truck for his new body, the passing truck has what appears to be an Autobot sigil on its grill, but the actual truck that Prime turns into at the end of the scene has a much wider, flatter symbol on the grill, which looks rather more like that of Peterbilt. Then, Prime has an Autobot sigil on his grill while driving to meet the other Autobots.

* According to the free trading cards from the Boston Globe, Optimus is 28 feet tall, weighs 4.3 metric tons, and his primary weapon is an [[Ion blaster|ion blaster]]. (Considering Optimus's height, however, this weight would seem implausible.)

*The [[Milton Bradley]] [[Transformers Battling Card Game]] depicts Prime with a unique a magnetic grapple attack, fired from the side of his arm. It also declares his forearm gun to be a chain gun (it's an ion blaster in other sources), and has him using a "judo kick", which... while it may not be out of the realm of plausibility for Prime to have learned an Earth martial art, judo does not actually '''use''' kicks, being focused on throwing moves. Oops.

* The Optimus Prime computer generated model consisted of 10,108 individual parts, 1,830,898 polygons, 27,744 rig nodes, and 2336 texture maps. The volume of all pieces combined came to 5445 cubic feet.<ref>Robertson, Barbara (2007). Heavy Metal. ''Computer Graphics, 30''(7), 12-17.</ref>

** In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Optimus has ''[[Kibble#.22Faux-parts.22|Faux-parts]]'', when he transforms in NEST base facing [[Charlotte Mearing|Mearing]] and [[William Lennox|Lennox]], is noticeable that the Optimus robot truck parts are not the same that the actual truck mode body parts (or at least not all of them), notice the chest red panels are in fact hidden under the truck nose panels and his arms appears (God knows from where) already with its red/blue flames parts meanwhile the rest of the front of the vehicle fragments and hides into the robot, that is the only Optimus transformation that occurs like this way, in the other in-movie conversions some of his alternate mode's appearances seem to be absorbed into his body or outright disappear, this presumably is a reference to this feature in some toys, but this is not confirmed officially.

* It said in the Autobots game in the DS, Prime's father was killed by Megatron. However, since it is also widely known that Prime and Megatron were brothers, Megatron killed his own dad. Not that this is surprising, though.

[[Image:ROTF Optimus trailer super mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"One shall be scrawny...One shall be brawny"]]
* Optimus was supposed to combine with a trailer for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', something for which [[Ben Procter]] and [[Josh Nizzi]] drew up designs. In the end, Nizzi designed the combination with Jetfire. However, the idea of Optimus combining with his trailer was not forgotten, and showed up on screen in ''Dark of the Moon''.

* According to [[TakaraTomy]] marketing director [[Masahiko Yamazaki]], for the Japanese dub of ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'', the [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus]] featured in that show would become a young version of this one. Ultimately, this didn't make it into the end product as the show went largely unchanged.

Hi, I removed that pic of the towtruck you uploaded onto Longarm's page, because the file size was far too large (the wiki software warns you when you upload a filesize over its recommended limits) and since there is no information as to where it comes from (TFW2005 is not the source in this case), I don't know of the legality of using it here. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 14:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

Hey, TX55. In [http://transformers.wikia.com/index.php?title=Optimus_Primal&diff=next&oldid=96252 this edit] you said that Primal's chest was originally going to be some sort of launcher, and also added the "fact" template to your statement. Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy. (Also, you marked your edit as "minor" even though you were adding actual content to the page, which is probably a bad idea. Minor edits are for things like spelling fixes or changes of word choice, not for when you put new information in.) --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 21:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

== Sideswipe ==

I put a delete tag on the Sideswipe photo you uploaded (It's actually from Transformers.com) because, well, its just a repainted Sunstreaker prototype, not Sideswipe. Its best not to use photos (even official photos) when things are so obviously wrong. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy?

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I understand now. I thought previously the definition includes both TFU and in-story. Thank you! ;-D --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 13:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested]. Greetings to all Wikia staff reading this anonymously! :)--[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] 06:53, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

Any help would be appreciated! --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:02, 14 December 2011 (EST)

:Um, the image is fuzzy, so I can only tell the following information from the image:
<pre>
"Bumblebee Prize" Bumblebee Clear Version

"Optimus Prime Prize" Jet Wing Optimus Prime Black Version

"Ironhide Prize" (Cyberverse) Ironhide ??? Version -> The words are too fuzzy to tell what the toy is called

"Last One Prize" (Cyberverse) Optimus Prime Clear Version

"Clear File Prize" 9 type and each set including three.

"Tumbler(?) Prize" 2 type

"Mouse Pad" 2 type

"Strap Prize" 2 type

</pre>
:While the information from [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg] have nothing special about the figure, only the spec, which is as same as the original toy, such as "With Sound gimmick", "Removable wing and Vulcan".

It will bring you (or children) to the dream world via objects around us.

They will transform into dream robots from those objects which are loved by the children, such as an airplane or a car.

By using hands, perhaps children's imagination will have a heart that strongly loves the justice.

==About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers==
I wonder these translated titles of ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'' and ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/5/5f/Aheroischosen.jpg This] should be translated into "''The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai''" instead of "''[[A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai]]''".
:[http://images.wikia.com/transformers/images/3/3e/Fiercebattle.jpg This] should be translated into "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger''" instead of "''A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble''".
and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --[[User:TX55|TX55]] 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
::Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "[[Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt]]" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

Hey, TX55.

Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there ''could'' be a launcher there on that toy.

== Sideswipe ==

I put a delete tag on the Sideswipe photo you uploaded (It's actually from Transformers.com) because, well, its just a repainted Sunstreaker prototype, not Sideswipe. Its best not to use photos (even official photos) when things are so obviously wrong. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

== Unnecessary Categories ==

Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles ''lacking'' the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are ''not'' on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

==Master Sword/Blade==

Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

==Nexus Zero==
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to [[Talk:Nexus Zero]] about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked [[Other Victories]], but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - [[User:Jackpot|Jackpot]] 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the [[Beast Wars Universe]]. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
::Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy?

==Nicknames==
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early [[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]] profiles printed in ''Transformers Comic Magazine'' - see [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/Digest-Gears01a.jpg here] for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Visualworks==

OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have [[Transformers Visualworks | Visualworks]], and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
:The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes ''TV Magazine'', ''Comic Bom Bom'', LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in ''TV Magazine'' but also in ''Comic Bom Bom''. --'''[[User:TX55|TX55]]'''''[[User talk:TX55|TALK]]'' 22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
::You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that. I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Now that you've been made an admin there, I'd be happy if you could do something similar (easiest thing would be to revert sannse, but that might not be entirely diplomatic) to let users know about the exodus. You'd also be in a good position to [http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#they.27re_there negotiate the reciprocal links that Derik suggested].

:Yes, I remember. (As a matter of fact, a similar thing just crossed my mind when I was on my way home today.)

:* For the notice about the exodus, I think I just revert it because we really need to let users know about the exodus.

:* By the way, some thing reminds me that sannse banned Derik and Deceptiran the Bot. I think he should be unblocked, because, after reading several page I still nothing special (though I saw things talking about time bomb).

===Swiping articles for TF Wikia===

I know that you're an Admin at TF Wikia. And I know that whatever we write here is fair game for anybody anywhere on the internet to copy and paste. But as a regular contributer here, I expect better from you. If you had helped translate all the titles for the [[Galaxy Force (manga)]] article then I could understand why you'd feel obliged to copy and paste it over at TF Wikia [here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Galaxy_Force_%28manga%29]. But you didn't. Lonegamer and myself did all that work. What I'm saying is, while there's nothing of legal consequence keeping you from copying articles we've written here and pasting them at TF Wikia, I find it in very poor form. If it's an article you wrote yourself, then fine. But as far as I'm concerned, they're the competition and I did not translate all those titles and write that article for them. Thank you. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:46, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:Sorry for replying late. I can’t access tfwiki.net in the office due to the blocking.

:First of all, I would like to apologize sincerely for my impolite act of copy/paste of the article. At that time (months ago), I was writing a page about Yoshihiro Iwamoto. I think it would be a little weird with no page of his work in the database, so I duplicated the article – without any considering out of careless. I've deleted the whole article (since simply copy/paste is ..."not good") and rewrote it. I’m truly sorry for my behavior. Thanks for notifying me about this. :-)

==What do you know about the Mystery of Convoy manga?==

I think that you were the first one to bring the existence of the Famicon How-To Manga: Transformers: Mystery of Convoy to light. I'm on a quest to get those las two red links off of the Manga article, so I was wondering if you had any additional info about the thing. McFeely uploaded a scan of the pages reprinted in Tansformers Visualworks [http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4093/mysteryofconvoymanga.jpg HERE]. As you can see, it only prints selected stages, making it seem like they aren't collecting the entire manga. However, the stages selected are all the boss battles, which makes me think that maybe the manga didn't cover ALL the stages, but just the ones with boss battles. Since there's no furigana, I'm gonna have to break out my kanji fastfinder when I get home and work on deciphering the text. But I just wanted to know if you had any insight on the book besides what we've already got? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 16:07, 19 September 2010 (EDT)

==Beast Wars Neo: Prologue title==
Where did the title for [[Beast Wars Neo: Prologue]] come from? The closest thing I can find in the collected editions is 'ビーストウォーズ "ネオ" 開戦!!!' [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 08:52, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

Hey, TX55! I bought new Japanese TF books at BotCon.

==Cancelled TakaraTomy raffle==
These images surfaced back in April. They appear to be for a raffle that never took place, like the one for [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Activators Skywarp]].

http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/3/31/TakaraTomyDOTM2011RafflePrizes.jpg

http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg

What can you read from these images? This [http://www.allspark.com/content/view/8698/20/ AllSpark news post] says that Human Alliance Bumblebee was supposed to be clear, Cyberverse Ironhide was supposed to be green, and Cyberverse Optimus Prime was supposed to be clear, but the toy images do not look different... do the other toys have titles listed? Any help would be appreciated! --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:02, 14 December 2011 (EST)

:Um, the image is fuzzy, so I can only tell the following information from the image:
<pre>
"Bumblebee Prize" Bumblebee Clear Version

"Optimus Prime Prize" Jet Wing Optimus Prime Black Version

"Ironhide Prize" (Cyberverse) Ironhide ??? Version -> The words are too fuzzy to tell what the toy is called

"Last One Prize" (Cyberverse) Optimus Prime Clear Version

"Clear File Prize" 9 type and each set including three.

"Tumbler(?) Prize" 2 type

"Mouse Pad" 2 type

"Strap Prize" 2 type

</pre>
:While the information from [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/a/a4/BlackJetwingOptimusPrimeJapan.jpg] have nothing special about the figure, only the spec, which is as same as the original toy, such as "With Sound gimmick", "Removable wing and Vulcan".

::By the way, I did some more investigating, and [http://tyouhen2.seesaa.net/article/194776966.html this site] says that Ironhide was "Dark Green Version", and that Circle K was the store that was going to offer the raffle. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 19:04, 14 December 2011 (EST)

::You're welcome! :D

It will bring you (or children) to the dream world via objects around us.

They will transform into dream robots from those objects which are loved by the children, such as an airplane or a car.

By using hands, perhaps children's imagination will have a heart that strongly loves the justice.

:With regards to "dream robots" in the translations, is that "yume no"? We translated that as "fantastic" for the title of "[[Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime]]".

'''The history of Shockwave is revealed, and the Decepticons launch an all-out attack on Bumblebee and Sam to reclaim Brains!'''

==Synopsis==
After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] launched the [[AllSpark]] into space, and the elite of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and Prime's forces then set out to recover it, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was left at the mercy of Megatron's most lethal subordinate: [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. Over the centuries, Shockwave continued to do what he did best, killing [[Autobot]]s in the war over what little [[energon]] the two sides had left. In the early days of the twentieth century, Shockwave and his forces were engaged in a battle against troops under [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]]'s command when everything changed: mere seconds after killing [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]], a cosmic "scream" resonated throughout Shockwave, a signal from the AllSpark, which had been found buried on [[Earth]] by [[human]]s. Leaving command to [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], Shockwave departed for Earth in an impossibly fast ship, streaking towards Earth at a velocity so uncontrollable that he wound up crash-landing in [[Tunguska]], [[Siberia]], in [[1908]].

Knocked into [[stasis lock]] by the impact, Shockwave remained offline for years, and his body was eventually found by the Soviet military in [[1919]]. The Soviets kept him on ice for decades, but failed to accomplish anything with the technology his body offered them until a [[Joe Danco|spy]] of theirs in the United States revealed that the American military had captured Megatron in a similar manner. Eventually, through the machinations of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] (drawn to the planet by the mysterious discovery of something unknown on its [[Moon (moon)|moon]]) and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], Megatron was freed, and he came to deduce that Shockwave was on Earth, still captive at the abandoned Siberian gulag. Liberating his loyal follower, Megatron brought Shockwave to his staging ground in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]], where he was nurturing the [[hatchling]]s recovered from the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']].

That was two days ago.

Now, in [[Philadelphia]], [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] have brought the renegade Decepticon brain unit to Sam's college, where [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] realizes that this "[[Brains]]" is a [[scrap drone]] like him. Wheelie aids in getting everyone on the same page by helping Brains to understand the concept of organic life, but just as Brains starts to explain his backstory, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] comes smashing through the wall, intent on recovering the little 'bot. Bumblebee holds him off, but as Sam, Wheelie and Brains try to flee, their find their escape cut off by a huge Decepticon attack force led by Starscream. Sam contacts [[NEST]] for aid, and the Autobots quickly mobilize: the injured [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] insists that she come with Prime's strike force, while [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]]'s team of much-chagrined rookies are ordered to stay behind on [[Diego Garcia]] to guard [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]], and [[Theodore Galloway|Galloway]] co-ordinates a cover story (much to [[Robert Epps|Epps]] and [[William Lennox|Lennox]]'s relief).

Back in Philadelphia, [[Sonar (ROTF)|Sonar]] gets up close and personal with Bumblebee, but is suddenly felled by the flaming energy-blade of an unseen combatant. From the smoke and flames, [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] emerges to introduce himself to Sam, along with his invisible blade-wielding ally [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]], who now fades into view and dares the Decepticons to face him!

==Notes==
*The circumstances of Chromia's death are revealed, and her remains are shown being recovered by Flatline, filling in the last missing piece in this comic's re-examination of the sisters and their recreation into their tripartate ''Revenge of the Fallen'' form, as seen in ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]''.
*[[Transformers The Game (PSP)|The PSP edition]] of ''[[Transformers The Game]]'' implied that the Decepticons' numerous one-eyed drones were loyal to Shockwave. That also seems to be the case here, as Shockwave is shown to give Dreadwing "command" while he is absent, explaining how Dreadwing came to be leader of these drones, as he was in ''The Reign of Starscream''.
*The blast Shockwave makes when he arrives on Earth is the mysterious real-life [[Wikipedia:Tunguska event|Tunguska event]].
*The human who hands over the information to the Soviets is [[Joe Danco]] from [[Frozen|issue #5]] of ''[[Transformers: Sector 7|Sector 7]]'', here revealed to have survived his possible death in that issue. Guess things bode well for [[William Simmons]], then!
*In ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', a newspaper says that [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] was spotted in 2009, but according to this comic Shockwave was not active in 2009 and wasn't released by Megatron till after the events of ''[[Transformers: Nefarious|Nefarious]]''. While the paper was just a doofy [[easter egg]] in the film, John Barber would go on to integrate it into the story with ''[[Transformers: Convergence|Convergence]]'' [[Convergence chapter 4|#4]], which explains that the newspaper article was based on leaked Russian documents and that the Decepticons found it and used it to track down Shockwave.
*Following on from the events of ''Sector 7'', and in accordance with the ''[[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday]]'' novel, Megatron is shown to have been successfully moved into [[Hoover Dam]] by [[1969]].
*Sam's college was unnamed and it's location not specified in the finished ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' movie, but the novelization of the feature and ''[[The Veiled Threat]]'' identified it as [[Princeton University]], [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]], one of the two universities that the scenes were filmed at. This comic, however, places it in Philadelphia (presumably making it the University of Philadelphia)—not a random choice, but based on the facts that the ''other'' filming location for the movie's college scenes was the University of Philadelphia, and that the graveyard Sam and Optimus Prime meet in during the film is ''also'' in Philadelphia.

'''The history of Shockwave is revealed, and the Decepticons launch an all-out attack on Bumblebee and Sam to reclaim Brains!'''

==Synopsis==
After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] launched the [[AllSpark]] into space, and the elite of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and Prime's forces then set out to recover it, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was left at the mercy of Megatron's most lethal subordinate: [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. Over the centuries, Shockwave continued to do what he did best, killing [[Autobot]]s in the war over what little [[energon]] the two sides had left. In the early days of the twentieth century, Shockwave and his forces were engaged in a battle against troops under [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]]'s command when everything changed: mere seconds after killing [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]], a cosmic "scream" resonated throughout Shockwave, a signal from the AllSpark, which had been found buried on [[Earth]] by [[human]]s. Leaving command to [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], Shockwave departed for Earth in an impossibly fast ship, streaking towards Earth at a velocity so uncontrollable that he wound up crash-landing in [[Tunguska]], [[Siberia]], in [[1908]].

Knocked into [[stasis lock]] by the impact, Shockwave remained offline for years, and his body was eventually found by the Soviet military in [[1919]]. The Soviets kept him on ice for decades, but failed to accomplish anything with the technology his body offered them until a [[Joe Danco|spy]] of theirs in the United States revealed that the American military had captured Megatron in a similar manner. Eventually, through the machinations of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] (drawn to the planet by the mysterious discovery of something unknown on its [[Moon (moon)|moon]]) and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], Megatron was freed, and he came to deduce that Shockwave was on Earth, still captive at the abandoned Siberian gulag. Liberating his loyal follower, Megatron brought Shockwave to his staging ground in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]], where he was nurturing the [[hatchling]]s recovered from the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']].

That was two days ago.

Now, in [[Philadelphia]], [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] have brought the renegade Decepticon brain unit to Sam's college, where [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] realizes that this "[[Brains]]" is a [[scrap drone]] like him. Wheelie aids in getting everyone on the same page by helping Brains to understand the concept of organic life, but just as Brains starts to explain his backstory, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] comes smashing through the wall, intent on recovering the little 'bot. Bumblebee holds him off, but as Sam, Wheelie and Brains try to flee, their find their escape cut off by a huge Decepticon attack force led by Starscream. Sam contacts [[NEST]] for aid, and the Autobots quickly mobilize: the injured [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] insists that she come with Prime's strike force, while [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]]'s team of much-chagrined rookies are ordered to stay behind on [[Diego Garcia]] to guard [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]], and [[Theodore Galloway|Galloway]] co-ordinates a cover story (much to [[Robert Epps|Epps]] and [[William Lennox|Lennox]]'s relief).

Back in Philadelphia, [[Sonar (ROTF)|Sonar]] gets up close and personal with Bumblebee, but is suddenly felled by the flaming energy-blade of an unseen combatant. From the smoke and flames, [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] emerges to introduce himself to Sam, along with his invisible blade-wielding ally [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]], who now fades into view and dares the Decepticons to face him!

==Notes==
*The circumstances of Chromia's death are revealed, and her remains are shown being recovered by Flatline, filling in the last missing piece in this comic's re-examination of the sisters and their recreation into their tripartate ''Revenge of the Fallen'' form, as seen in ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]''.
*[[Transformers The Game (PSP)|The PSP edition]] of ''[[Transformers The Game]]'' implied that the Decepticons' numerous one-eyed drones were loyal to Shockwave. That also seems to be the case here, as Shockwave is shown to give Dreadwing "command" while he is absent, explaining how Dreadwing came to be leader of these drones, as he was in ''The Reign of Starscream''.
*The blast Shockwave makes when he arrives on Earth is the mysterious real-life [[Wikipedia:Tunguska event|Tunguska event]].
*The human who hands over the information to the Soviets is [[Joe Danco]] from [[Frozen|issue #5]] of ''[[Transformers: Sector 7|Sector 7]]'', here revealed to have survived his possible death in that issue. Guess things bode well for [[William Simmons]], then!
*In ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', a newspaper says that [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] was spotted in 2009, but according to this comic Shockwave was not active in 2009 and wasn't released by Megatron till after the events of ''[[Transformers: Nefarious|Nefarious]]''. While the paper was just a doofy [[easter egg]] in the film, John Barber would go on to integrate it into the story with ''[[Transformers: Convergence|Convergence]]'' [[Convergence chapter 4|#4]], which explains that the newspaper article was based on leaked Russian documents and that the Decepticons found it and used it to track down Shockwave.
*Following on from the events of ''Sector 7'', and in accordance with the ''[[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday]]'' novel, Megatron is shown to have been successfully moved into [[Hoover Dam]] by [[1969]].
*Sam's college was unnamed and it's location not specified in the finished ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' movie, but the novelization of the feature and ''[[The Veiled Threat]]'' identified it as [[Princeton University]], [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]], one of the two universities that the scenes were filmed at. This comic, however, places it in Philadelphia (presumably making it the University of Philadelphia)—not a random choice, but based on the facts that the ''other'' filming location for the movie's college scenes was the University of Philadelphia, and that the graveyard Sam and Optimus Prime meet in during the film is ''also'' in Philadelphia. Makes a bit more sense to us!.
*Wheelie identifies himself as being built north of the docks in [[Burthov]].
*Wheelie also notes that Sam has just broken up with [[Mikaela Banes]]. This, of course, is because [[Megan Fox]] does not appear in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', but we guess this doesn't bode well for any kind of thoughtful or meaningful discourse on the nature of her character's absence...
*Recognizable among the squad of Decepticons that attack Sam and company on page 16 are Bludgeon, Brimstone and Tankor (sporting his Carlos Magno redesign from ''[[Transformers: Nefarious|Nefarious]]''); less so are Storm Surge and Sonar, the latter making his fictional debut.
*The twin-rotor helicopter arriving on page 18 is Ruination from ''[[Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat]]'', who briefly appeared in the previous issue; Magno follows through on the book's description of him by making him look very much like [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]]. The Apache helicopter, meanwhile, is his buddy Blademaster, also from ''The Veiled Threat'', making his first pictorial appearance.

===Errors===
*Elita-One and Chromia are depicted in their ''Revenge of the Fallen'' bodies a century ago. While this isn't strictly an error for Chromia, it does stand out as odd for Elita, who appeared in her original first-movie body in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', which takes place after this story, implying either an artist error, or the possibility that she switched back and forth between forms.

==Notes==
*The circumstances of Chromia's death are revealed, and her remains are shown being recovered by Flatline, filling in the last missing piece in this comic's re-examination of the sisters and their recreation into their tripartate ''Revenge of the Fallen'' form, as seen in ''[[Transformers: Tales of the Fallen|Tales of the Fallen]]''.
*[[Transformers The Game (PSP)|The PSP edition]] of ''[[Transformers The Game]]'' implied that the Decepticons' numerous one-eyed drones were loyal to Shockwave. That also seems to be the case here, as Shockwave is shown to give Dreadwing "command" while he is absent, explaining how Dreadwing came to be leader of these drones, as he was in ''The Reign of Starscream''.
*The blast Shockwave makes when he arrives on Earth is the mysterious real-life [[Wikipedia:Tunguska event|Tunguska event]].
*The human who hands over the information to the Soviets is [[Joe Danco]] from [[Frozen|issue #5]] of ''[[Transformers: Sector 7|Sector 7]]'', here revealed to have survived his possible death in that issue. Guess things bode well for [[William Simmons]], then!
*In ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'', a newspaper says that [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] was spotted in 2009, but according to this comic Shockwave was not active in 2009 and wasn't released by Megatron till after the events of ''[[Transformers: Nefarious|Nefarious]]''. While the paper was just a doofy [[easter egg]] in the film, John Barber would go on to integrate it into the story with ''[[Transformers: Convergence|Convergence]]'' [[Convergence chapter 4|#4]], which explains that the newspaper article was based on leaked Russian documents and that the Decepticons found it and used it to track down Shockwave.
*Following on from the events of ''Sector 7'', and in accordance with the ''[[Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday]]'' novel, Megatron is shown to have been successfully moved into [[Hoover Dam]] by [[1969]].
*Sam's college was unnamed and it's location not specified in the finished ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' movie, but the novelization of the feature and ''[[The Veiled Threat]]'' identified it as [[Princeton University]], [[New Jersey (Earth)|New Jersey]], one of the two universities that the scenes were filmed at. This comic, however, places it in Philadelphia (presumably making it the University of Philadelphia)—not a random choice, but based on the facts that the ''other'' filming location for the movie's college scenes was the University of Philadelphia, and that the graveyard Sam and Optimus Prime meet in during the film is ''also'' in Philadelphia. Makes a bit more sense to us!.
*Wheelie identifies himself as being built north of the docks in [[Burthov]].
*Wheelie also notes that Sam has just broken up with [[Mikaela Banes]]. This, of course, is because [[Megan Fox]] does not appear in ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', but we guess this doesn't bode well for any kind of thoughtful or meaningful discourse on the nature of her character's absence...
*Recognizable among the squad of Decepticons that attack Sam and company on page 16 are Bludgeon, Brimstone and Tankor (sporting his Carlos Magno redesign from ''[[Transformers: Nefarious|Nefarious]]''); less so are Storm Surge and Sonar, the latter making his fictional debut.
*The twin-rotor helicopter arriving on page 18 is Ruination from ''[[Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat]]'', who briefly appeared in the previous issue; Magno follows through on the book's description of him by making him look very much like [[Incinerator (Movie)|Incinerator]]. The Apache helicopter, meanwhile, is his buddy Blademaster, also from ''The Veiled Threat'', making his first pictorial appearance.

===Errors===
*Elita-One and Chromia are depicted in their ''Revenge of the Fallen'' bodies a century ago. While this isn't strictly an error for Chromia, it does stand out as odd for Elita, who appeared in her original first-movie body in ''[[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]]'', which takes place after this story, implying either an artist error, or the possibility that she switched back and forth between forms.
*In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'', Brains claims Mikaela was mean to them and that he didn't like her, but in this comic Brains meets up with Sam and Wheelie AFTER Mikaela broke up with him.
*Thundercracker is shown to be on cybertron with shockwave, but in The Reign of Starscream he is part of starscream's crew and waiting on mars during the events of the first movie.

'''The history of Shockwave is revealed, and the Decepticons launch an all-out attack on Bumblebee and Sam to reclaim Brains!'''

==Synopsis==
After [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] launched the [[AllSpark]] into space, and the elite of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and Prime's forces then set out to recover it, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was left at the mercy of Megatron's most lethal subordinate: [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. Over the centuries, Shockwave continued to do what he did best, killing [[Autobot]]s in the war over what little [[energon]] the two sides had left. In the early days of the twentieth century, Shockwave and his forces were engaged in a battle against troops under [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]]'s command when everything changed: mere seconds after killing [[Chromia (ROTF)|Chromia]], a cosmic "scream" resonated throughout Shockwave, a signal from the AllSpark, which had been found buried on [[Earth]] by [[human]]s. Leaving command to [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]], Shockwave departed for Earth in an impossibly fast ship, streaking towards Earth at a velocity so uncontrollable that he wound up crash-landing in [[Tunguska]], [[Siberia]], in [[1908]].

Knocked into [[stasis lock]] by the impact, Shockwave remained offline for years, and his body was eventually found by the Soviet military in [[1919]]. The Soviets kept him on ice for decades, but failed to accomplish anything with the technology his body offered them until a [[Joe Danco|spy]] of theirs in the United States revealed that the American military had captured Megatron in a similar manner. Eventually, through the machinations of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] (drawn to the planet by the mysterious discovery of something unknown on its [[Moon (moon)|moon]]) and [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], Megatron was freed, and he came to deduce that Shockwave was on Earth, still captive at the abandoned Siberian gulag. Liberating his loyal follower, Megatron brought Shockwave to his staging ground in [[Namibia]], [[Africa]], where he was nurturing the [[hatchling]]s recovered from the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']].

That was two days ago.

Now, in [[Philadelphia]], [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] have brought the renegade Decepticon brain unit to Sam's college, where [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] realizes that this "[[Brains]]" is a [[scrap drone]] like him. Wheelie aids in getting everyone on the same page by helping Brains to understand the concept of organic life, but just as Brains starts to explain his backstory, [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] comes smashing through the wall, intent on recovering the little 'bot. Bumblebee holds him off, but as Sam, Wheelie and Brains try to flee, their find their escape cut off by a huge Decepticon attack force led by Starscream. Sam contacts [[NEST]] for aid, and the Autobots quickly mobilize: the injured [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] insists that she come with Prime's strike force, while [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]]'s team of much-chagrined rookies are ordered to stay behind on [[Diego Garcia]] to guard [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]], and [[Theodore Galloway|Galloway]] co-ordinates a cover story (much to [[Robert Epps|Epps]] and [[William Lennox|Lennox]]'s relief).

Back in Philadelphia, [[Sonar (ROTF)|Sonar]] gets up close and personal with Bumblebee, but is suddenly felled by the flaming energy-blade of an unseen combatant. From the smoke and flames, [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] emerges to introduce himself to Sam, along with his invisible blade-wielding ally [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]], who now fades into view and dares the Decepticons to face him!

Shockwave1704: /* Desmond Llewyln */

Shouldn't the m in (movie) be capitalized? [[User:70.53.248.58|70.53.248.58]] 06:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
: Yes. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: "I don't remember a Wheeljack mentioned, but sure.". During the fourth story mission, Car Shopping, in Autobots. When you first meet Bumblebee, he tells you (the player-character) to scan a bunch of Earth vehicles, and the player-character mentions Wheeljack gave him some upgrades allowing him to store multiple alternate forms.

Is it worth noting that, according to Ghosts of Yesterday, Bumblebee apparantly also has these upgrades? He quickly assumes a wheeled ATV early after landing to investigate Ghost One, then reverts back to his Protoform in mere minutes (or at least he considers it, and the narration never ever implies it's a lengthy or energy-consuming task.) --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 07:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
:I read that Wheeljack was originally going to be in the movie on Wikipedia. Is there any truth to that, or is someone yanking my chain? -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 05:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Que ==

Isn't this guy called Que now?
:[[User:Queso|¡Usa El Queso!]]
:No. Even if he does end up being called "Que" in the film, he'll still be Wheeljack, just like [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]]. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 23:28, 3 June 2011 (EDT)
::Can we get one of those "Hey dumbass, don't edit this if you are only going to add stupid rumors" notes to TRY to stop people from changing this to Que every few days? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:40, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

=="Que" is the worst name in all of Transformers==
I really want this to be noted, but his actual page probably isn't the right place. -[[User:LV|LV]] 15:47, 1 July 2011 (EDT)

You think Erector is better? [[Special:Contributions/10.176.65.91|10.176.65.91]] 03:41, 13 July 2011 (EDT)
:INFINITELY better. -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 05:55, 13 July 2011 (EDT)
:YES. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 09:42, 13 July 2011 (EDT)
In my defense of one of my favorite autobots the name is actually supposed to be like Q from a James bond movie, I think it was live and let die.

==Name change==

The [[Movie timeline]] article seems to imply that 'Que' is the name Wheeljack took on after being destroyed and extensively rebuilt. Should this be mentioned in a note?

== Desmond Llewyln ==

Does anybody reminds him that he is much more like actor Desmond Llewyln?

are you sure that wheeljack is que? --[[User:Shockwave1704|Shockwave1704]] 11:06, 16 March 2012 (EDT)

Do you have a quote of Sentinel being specifically mentioned in the comic? I don't remember anything past the uni scene.

::Look, '''I''' think it's the leader of the 7/12/13 too... but the phrasing in the movie itself (which I just checked on, er... Youtube) '''isn't''' clear-cut enough to even say for certain that Sentinel Prime is an individual-- let alone that he's one of the 12! The phrasing is just... ambiguous, and the timeline is a godawful mess thanks to ROTF's 17,000 years retcon, and questions of whether the 13 in the movie are '''the''' 13 or not. (They're not. I mean... the movie fucking cut them down to 7. But until something official comes through to make it certain... it's just a collosal brain-ache that makes logical inference almost impossible.)

:::The first time I heard Sentinel mentioned was in the movie. And the Sentinel Prime expedition. You'd be forgiven for presuming, and really there's no reason not too, it was named after the Prime in charge. And given the massively different origin of the Primes in the movie compared to the adaptations, it seems again logical that he's simple a predecessor of Optimus, not one of the original Primes. There is some assumptions being made, however they are logical assumptions. IF you're concerned, throw in a note at the bottom. Personally, I think it's a bit of an assumption that Sentinel in the comics is one of the original Primes, but I can see why AT put it the way he did [[User:Eire]] 13.35 Oct 13 09 (UTC)

Hey, I thought he was BIG jerk too.(Never seen the movie though.)
Maybe Sentinel(TFA) wanted to get revenge on Optimus(TFA).
So, he decided to get a role on Dark of the Moon.
His audition was successful. All he needed to do was change his alternate mode to make sure nobody knew it was him.
When the moment was right he could get revenge on Optimus(For stealing his fifteen stellar cycles of fame).
However,on set he was killed. And it was caught on film!
Let's just say there is more than meets the eye with Sentinel.

== Decepticon Or Not==
Since the movie's out on DVD and Blueray now I'm putting it out in the open: Why aren't we putting Sentinel as a Decepticon. I know the last time it was discussed someone mentioned how he reffered to himself as "true leader of the Autobots" and someone else said he seemed disgusted at making a deal with the cons. BUT despite this the way I see it he not only joined up with the Decepticons, he pretty much took complete CONTROL over them. The reason we see Megatron sulking when Carly comes up to him is because Sentinel took over his forces; Sentinel's giving the orders. Sentinel also wouldn't be the first turncoat to claim to keep his own faction (and this doesn't even happen in the movie as I recall) but have the wiki still label him the opposite; Armada Starscream was considered by both himself AND his new allies to be a con is still listed as an Autobot for the four or so eps he was with them. I would even go so far as to say Sentinel can be considered a Decepticon Leader all things considered.--[[User:BlackStarscream|BlackStarscream]] 13:44, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

:'''''NO.'''''
:But you raise a good question. Why ''do'' we have an Autobot symbol on Armada Starscream's page?

I think he should count as a Con.Yes he only allied himself with them and then pretty much took them over and '''''still''''' called himself an Autobot,but he should have a Con symbole.I mean G1 Starscream has a Predacon symbole even if he was a Pred for '''''1''''' '''''episode''''' of beast wars.And the North American version of the Headmasters and Targetmaster are Nebulans who allied themselves with the different transformers factions and still got the faction symboles of whichever side they where with.Just look at Vorath for example,it says Decepticon-'''''allied''''' Nebulan. --[[User:Gamemaster|Gamemaster]] 22:07, 15 December 2011 (EDT)

No he's not a Decepticon. He just allies with them against the other Autobots. He doesn't actually join the Decepticon club and geta membership card or anything. In the Marvel UK Comics Carnivac turned against the Decepticons but he clearly refused membership in the Autobots despite staying with them. Sentinel is an Autobot traitor but that doesn't automatically qualify him to be a Decepticon. [[Special:Contributions/82.27.5.237|82.27.5.237]] 08:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)
