Like its predecessor, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' featured a large multimedia ad campaign. ''Revenge of the Fallen'' didn't have quite as many theatrical trailers as ''Transformers'', not having movie and international exclusive trailers. However, it did surpass the 2007 film in TV advertising for the theatrical and IMAX releases with an extra four spots for a total of twenty-six. In addition to the theatrical trailers and TV ad spots, several preview segments were shown online. These segments were unique clips from the film, where as online advertising for ''Transformers'' consisted mostly of the trailers and early TV spots.

Also like the previous film, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' had a number of tie-in ads featuring returning brands like [[Burger King]] and new ones such as [[Kmart]] and [[M&M's]]. The tie-in video game was even more heavily advertised than the last with more than double the number of trailers. Advertising for the toy line was handled in a manner similar to the first film. Action figures were limited to an initial overview ad, and two later ones for the [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]] sub-line. In advertising for other play patterns, the [[Robot Powered Machines]] were highlighted with three ads.

''Revenge of the Fallen'''s home video release had a heavier push than its predecessor with seven television ads for both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. Additionally, a preview trailer was released online, demonstrating the Optimus Experience feature of the special edition releases. Even a radio ad was produced to advertise the home video releases, albeit a modified version of a TV spot soundtrack.

The King gestures as if to say "I've got it" and then lifts up the front end of the truck dumping out the rest of the million dollars plus a security guard. "Whoa, you won a security guard too."

New body

2019-07-02T15:06:10Z

Sonicprime1963: /* Methods */

[[File:Goldbugorigins.jpg|thumb|upright=1.95]]

It is not uncommon at all for a single Transformer to change body form many times across their life-span. The ease with which they can do so depends on the continuity's technology level. In some, changing bodies requires an extensive full-body rebuild and tends to be resource-draining and even dangerous. Sometimes, however, all it takes is to transplant their brain or personality program into a compatible '''new body'''. Other times, the existing body itself will be "reformatted" on the spot using a scan of a local compatible alt-mode.

Getting a new body sometimes also involves [[renaming|getting a new name]].

==Methods==
[[File:Tftm1986c.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*Adaptation — As a survival mechanism, when a Transformer is stranded on an alien world a Transformer's onboard [[idento-computer]] may adapt the Transformer's body to be more compatible with the local environment. Side-effects may include extreme independence, distrust of authority figures, animalistic mindsets, and speech impediments. ''{{storylink|Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}''
*Mechanical reconstruction — A Transformer's form is reconstructed into a new form manually through hard work, often after the Transformer is badly injured. This is sometimes accomplished by [[human]]s. ''[[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]]'', ''[[Movie continuity]]''
*Divine Intervention — [[Unicron]] and [[Primus]] can reconfigure Transformers for their own purposes, or to bolster the strength of one of the factions. ''Generation 1'', ''Universe (2003)'', ''Cybertron''
*[[Scanning]] — A Transformer has on-board systems that allow him to scan a new form himself and immediately take on the new form. This process is sometimes aided by a separate automated mechanism, particularly if the bot in question is incapacitated at the time. ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'', ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]'', ''[[Unicron Trilogy]]'', ''Movie continuity'', ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'', ''[[Action Blast 1|Action Blast]]'', ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)|Prime]]'', ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (cartoon)|Rescue Bots]]''
:*[[Trans-scan]]ning is a particularly adaptable form of personal scanning. ''Movie continuity''
*[[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] bearing — Some Transformers, upon taking possession of the Matrix, are instantly upgraded to a new body. This process reverses whenever the Matrix is not held by the Transformer. ''Generation 1''
*Transference — A Transformer's essence ([[personality component]], [[spark]], or simply their mind) is transferred to a new body or into a [[blank]] [[protoform]]. ''Generation 1'', ''Beast Wars'', ''Animated''
*[[Reconfiguration Matrix|Internal Reconfiguration Matrix]] — This device has allowed [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to alter his vehicle modes. {{storylink|Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GobotOptimusPrime|Optimus Prime's Go-Bot toy bio}} ''[[Generation 2]]''
*[[Vok]] technology — During the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], Transformer bodies were altered by Vok technology (deliberately or accidentally) into [[Transmetal]]s, [[Transmetal 2|Transmetals 2]] and [[Fuzor]]s. ''Beast Wars''
*[[Reformatting]] — Reformatting is the process by which a Transformer is converted to a [[technorganic]] form. ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]''
*[[Omega Lock]] + [[burning justice]] — By believing in himself, a Transformer may sometimes cause the "Power of [[Primus]] through the [[Omega Lock]]" {{storylink|Critical}} to upgrade him into a new body. ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]''
*Off-panel — Sometimes Transformers would arrive at a new place with a new alternate mode with little explanation, but it is implied they were mechanically altered by technology aboard their ship or back at base. ''[[Marvel Comics continuity]]'', ''[[2005 IDW continuity]]''

*Unicron — Unicron upgraded [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweep]]s, and [[Cyclonus's Armada]] from wounded Decepticons. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
*Transference — [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] liberated the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s' [[personality component]]s from the [[Decepticon Detention Center]] and installed them into new bodies. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}} [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]] had his personality temporarily transferred into a human-built robot. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

====Japanese cartoon continuity====
=====''Victory'' cartoon=====
*Transference — After being critically wounded, [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]] was given a new body and a new identity as Victory Leo. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{noteukonly}}
*Mechanical reconstruction — The computer aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] scanned the surroundings for suitable local life-forms then physically rebuilt damaged Transformers with altmodes to blend into their surroundings. {{storylink|The Last Stand}} {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}} [[Spanner (G1)|Spanner]] was rebuilt by Decepticon engineers to have a [[space bridge]] alternate mode. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}} Bumblebee was rebuilt into Goldbug by [[G.I.

*Unicron — Unicron upgraded [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]] from wounded Decepticons. {{storylink|The Transformers Universe|''Universe'' character profiles}} {{storylink|Target: 2006}}
*Transference — The Ark created new bodies for five Autobots who had their minds encoded on crystals before the Ark left Cybertron. {{storylink|Rock and Roll-Out!}} The [[Throttlebot]]s had their [[brain module]]s transferred to electronic toy cars before their bodies were destroyed by the [[Intelligence and Information Institute]]. {{storylink|Toy Soldiers!}} Later, [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] put their brain modules into new bodies made to the same specifications as their shattered old ones. {{storylink|Pretender to the Throne!}} Before he was destroyed, Optimus Prime's personality was saved on a [[floppy disk]] by [[Ethan Zachary]]. His personality was later downloaded from that disk into his [[Powermaster]] body. {{storylink|People Power!}}
*Off-panel — Megatron had the bodies of the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]]s and [[Conehead]]s adapted to forms more appropriate for Earth. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}} After being restored to individual robots after having been used for parts to make [[Circuit Breaker's Autobot suit]], several of the Cybertronian Autobots apparently took the opportunity to change to Earth forms. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}} The [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s took on Earth forms on orders from [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}}
{{note|The Autobots around this time period do not display the same ability to casually modify their forms. The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s are often not taken on missions because their forms would stand out. This may be because the Decepticons have access to more resources from Cybertron thanks to the [[space bridge]].}}

===2005 IDW continuity===
*Off-panel — Many Transformers have been shown to change bodies in minor ways with relative ease between scenes with very little explanation of the process. Senator Shockwave in particular was once notorious for fiddling with his color scheme and detailing out of vanity. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}}

*Mechanical reconstruction - Upgrades to someone's [[Alternate mode|alt-mode]] from one form into into something more war-like is more involved and require the [[Body Augmentation Program]]. Various upgrades and alterations that increase a bots capabilities and require hard work also often occur, usually performed by scientists and doctors like [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] and [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]]. Improvements are not the only reason, however: [[Starscream (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Starscream]]'s succession of total overhauls was suggested to be caused by his [[spark]] subconsciously rejecting each one in favor of the true, forged shape it was never allowed to assume. {{storylink|Your First Mistake}}

*Transference — [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]] has twice had his body so damaged that it was decided the best option was to construct a new body and transfer into it. In the pre-war era, 'body tourism' where a bot with a desirable alt-mode like a flier or race would rent their body to others at a [[Relinquishment Clinic]], allowing some bot to use it temporarily in exchange for payment.

===''Hearts of Steel''===
*Off-panel — [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] changed from his "[[Ice Age Wars]]" body into a train engine of his original design in a matter of seconds. Other characters also take on new forms with relative ease.

===Beast Era===
*Transference — Prior to the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s underwent the [[Great Upgrade]], taking on smaller, more fuel-efficient bodies as [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt. II: The Search}}

====''Beast Wars'' cartoon====
*Scanning — Upon arrival on Earth, [[DNA scanner]]s attached to [[CR chamber]]s and [[stasis pod]]s scanned various indigenous lifeforms living and dead, and gave their inhabitants new bodies with organic elements in order to protect them from the dangerous levels of residual [[energon]]. {{storylink|Beast Wars (Part 1)}}
*Vok technology — The destruction of the [[Planet Buster]] caused a [[quantum surge]], upgrading [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]], [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] and a bunch of [[protoform]]s into [[Transmetal]] bodies in its wake. {{storylink|Aftermath}} Megatron later found the Vok's [[Transmetal driver]], and through experimentation with the device upgraded himself, Cheetor, [[Dinobot II]] and [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] into [[Transmetal 2]] bodies. {{storylink|Feral Scream Part 1}} {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon}} The Vok personally removed [[Tigatron]] and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]]'s sparks and combined their bodies into that of [[Tigerhawk]]. The discarded sparks then merged and re-entered the body as one. {{storylink|Other Victories}}
*Transference — After he had lost his body, Optimus Primal's spark was given a Transmetal protoform. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}
*Matrix bearing — While not actually the Matrix, taking on Optimus Prime's spark together with his own had a similar effect on Optimus Primal, causing him to upgrade into a new "Optimal Optimus" body. {{storylink|Optimal Situation}}

====''Beast Machines'' cartoon====
*Vok technology (indirectly) — Once back on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Megatron [[army-building|created an army]] of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicon]] drones and a [[transformation virus|gas that causes paralysis in Transformers]], and used them to harvest the sparks of Maximals and Predacons alike. Those that were previously made Transmetals by the Vok were not paralysed by the gas, but instead regressed into their pre-Transmetal bodies. {{storylink|Revelations Part II: Descent}}
*Reformatting — Optimus Primal used the power of prayer to reformat the unharvested Maximals into new technorganic bodies. {{storylink|The Reformatting}}
*Mechanical reconstruction — Megatron chose to revive the sparks of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]], and [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] in drone bodies as [[Jetstorm (BM)|Jetstorm]], [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]], and [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]]. {{storylink|Fires of the Past}}
*Transference — When Megatron tried to purge his organic element, his spark bounced around between the bodies of [[Noble (BM)|Noble]], [[Grand Mal]], a [[Diagnostic Drone]], and finally Optimal Optimus. {{storylink|Prometheus Unbound}} {{storylink|Spark of Darkness}} {{storylink|Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen''====
*Trans-scanning - After the battle in [[Shanghai]], [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] returned to [[NEST]] headquarters, traded in their combined ice cream truck mode, and scanned a Chevy Beat and a Chevy Trax, respectively. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}
*Mechanical reconstruction/AllSpark - When [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was being revived by the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s and [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], they used a sliver of the [[AllSpark]] and the parts of an [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|unfortunate excavator]] to bring him back to life, giving him a new bulkier body with a [[Triple Changer|second]] flying space-tank alternate mode. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

====''Dark of the Moon''====
*Trans-scanning - With Transformers now public knowledge, the scarred [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] scanned a M915 Line-Haul in order to disguise himself.
*Mechanical reconstruction - When [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]] and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were severely damaged in battle by [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]], {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}} [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] remarked that they probably wouldn't be quite the same after repairs.

Cheetor (Animated)

:''Cheetor is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:AnimatedTranstechCheetor-CharacterModel.jpg|thumb|200px|Homage Möbius strip]]
There's nothing '''Cheetor''' loves more than chasing down [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] at incredibly high speeds. However, when caught up in the thrill of the chase, he tends to ignore his surroundings; street signs, traffic, and any unfortunate [[Autobot]] who gets in his way are bound to be ran right over! Because of this, the precinct tends to keep rotating Cheetor from partner to partner; no 'bots in their right minds would want this turbo-revving young punk on their backs!

He's presumably popular at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], since the bar has a picture of him on its menu. He likes pie.

===''Animated''===
{{voiceactor|[[Gregg Berger]] ([[BotCon 2012]]), Brian Orms ([[BotCon 2015]])}}
{{note|Events in italics occurred exclusively in [[BotCon]] script readings.}}

Cheetor chased [[Ransack (Animated)|Ransack]] and [[Crumplezone (Animated)|Crumplezone]] at high speed through the streets of Cybertron for a "moving violation", knocking over cans of black paint on his car mode, terrorizing civilians, and trashing two blocks in the process. Once Cheetor caught up to the duo, they had just one question—"What did we '''do?'''"

After Cheetor took the perps back to the station, he was subsequently chewed out by his superior, [[Depth Charge (Animated)|Depth Charge]], who informed the impulsive cop that he was being demoted and transferred from Transtech to Iacon Central. {{Storylink|Moving Violations}}

[[File:StunticonJob-CheetorcatchesRattletrap.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|left]]
After his transfer to the street beat in Iacon Central, Cheetor was assigned a new partner, [[Sideswipe (Animated)|Sideswipe]]. Sideswipe was mere cycles away from retirement, and had little regard for such an enthusiastic punk. Still, working together they managed to catch [[Rattletrap]], a black market modifications entrepreneur. Looking to cut some time off his stay in the stockade, Rattletrap pointed a digit at [[The Motor Master]] and his [[Team Stunticon|Stunt Convoy]] as part of his black market dealings. Cheetor and Sideswipe arrived in [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon Town]] to question the Stunt Convoy, only to find a squad of Decepticons in the arena! Or...so Cheetor thought.

[[File:StunticonJob-CheetorvsStunticons.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
As it turned out, the Stunt Convoy ran a stage show where they "disguised" themselves as Decepticons for the crowd, and to the amusement of acting commander, [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Magnus]]. Cheetor's heavy-handed interrogation techniques got the partners tossed out of the Arena by the Magnus himself. Undeterred, Cheetor and Sideswipe continued their investigation into the Stunt Convoy's past...only to find out they had none. After catching the Convoy's [[Toxitron (Animated)|Toxitron]] red-servoed at a break-in in [[Ironfist (Animated)|Ironfist]]'s mods shop, Cheetor and Sideswipe pieced together the plot. The arena in Kaon Town was right next to [[Trypticon Prison]], where [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] and the other Decepticon captives were being held. The Stunt Convoy were planning to use explosives stolen from Ironfist to stage a breakout because they weren't Autobots posing as Decepticons, but Decepticons posing as Autobots!

Cheetor and Sideswipe infiltrated the show already in progress to stop Megatron's breakout. With the help of [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and some electronic paint, the Stunt Convoy was exposed and defeated. {{Storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}}

''At some point, Cheetor and Sideswipe were walking about the streets of Iacon when [[Sari Sumdac (Animated)|Sari]], [[Arcee (Animated)|Arcee]], and [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]] sped past them at super-sonic speeds.'' {{storylink|The Return of Blurr}}

A button on his hood deploys an energy saw weapon which can double as a shield or clip onto his back in robot mode. Due to his leg design, the very middle of Cheetor's rear wheels are the only parts that roll, while the sides do not. These parts stick out a hair, though, so his mobility in vehicle mode is unhindered.

He was available for sale at [[BotCon 2011]], and pre-orders started arriving in mailboxes in mid-June. His box is too small to neatly contain the [[Tech Spec]]s card he comes with, but it was crammed in there anyway, which resulted in the card's corners being bent on arrival.

==Notes==
[[Image:Animated cheetor by forster.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Me-''YOWW!'']]

* Cheetor is a veritable hoop of homages! Obviously, he's based on ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], who was going to be an upgraded version of the original [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]]. However, after ''[[Transtech]]'' was scrapped by [[Hasbro]], [[Fun Publications]] utilized those designs for an otherwise-unrelated ''[[Transformers: TransTech|TransTech]]'' storyline featuring a [[Cheetor (TransTech)|different Cheetor]]. In the meantime, ''Transtech'' Cheetor's design was an inspiration for [[Blurr (Animated)|''Animated'' Blurr]], who ''Animated'' Cheetor is a retool of. Finally, his colors are based on the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' version of Cheetor. Phew!
* Early art of Cheetor gave him a tan face, but this was changed to silver to match the toy. His face still appears in the original tan coloration in "[[Moving Violations]]".
* Not unlike [[Chromia (Animated)|Chromia]], Cheetor first materialized in multiple different, unrelated sources almost simultaneously, by sheer coincidence. In the last week of June 2010, Fun Publications announced at [[BotCon 2010]] their intention to release a Cheetor figure that would be a repaint of ''Animated'' Blurr. Mere days later, ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' was released, containing an illustration of Cheetor that [[Bill Forster]] had created independently of Fun Publications' figure, which was ''also'' based on Blurr. As Forster's illustration was merely of Cheetor's head, it is basically a "repaint" of Blurr's own noggin so the connection would be recognizable, with two "ear" protrusions instead of Blurr's central fin, cheetah spots, and cat-like "face paint" based on KISS drummer Peter Criss's stage make-up. Fun Publications's version of Cheetor, on the other hand, received an entirely new head designed by [[Derrick J. Wyatt]].

Commercial/Revenge of the Fallen

2019-04-28T02:20:15Z

Sonicprime1963: /* TV tie-in commercials */

{{suite}}
{{Nav-rotf}}
Like its predecessor, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' featured a large multimedia ad campaign. ''Revenge of the Fallen'' didn't have quite as many theatrical trailers as ''Transformers'', not having movie and international exclusive trailers. However, it did surpass the 2007 film in TV advertising for the theatrical and IMAX releases with an extra four spots for a total of twenty-six. In addition to the theatrical trailers and TV ad spots, several preview segments were shown online. These segments were unique clips from the film, where as online advertising for ''Transformers'' consisted mostly of the trailers and early TV spots.

Also like the previous film, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' had a number of tie-in ads featuring returning brands like [[Burger King]] and new ones such as [[Kmart]] and [[M&M's]]. The tie-in video game was even more heavily advertised than the last with more than double the number of trailers. Advertising for the toy line was handled in a manner similar to the first film. Action figures were limited to an initial overview ad, and two later ones for the [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]] sub-line. In advertising for other play patterns, the [[Robot Powered Machines]] were highlighted with three ads.

''Revenge of the Fallen'''s home video release had a heavier push than its predecessor with seven television ads for both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. Additionally, a preview trailer was released online, demonstrating the Optimus Experience feature of the special edition releases. Even a radio ad was produced to advertise the home video releases, albeit a modified version of a TV spot soundtrack.

===Theatrical trailers===

'''Optimus Prime''' is the legendary leader of the [[Autobot]]s. He's good friends with [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], who is practically his right hand bot. Optimus Prime is the best leader an Autobot could ask for, and the worst nightmare a [[Decepticon]] could imagine.

[[File:We Want The Same Thing (Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero promo).jpg|thumb|300px|"So are we on for our regular Scrabble night?"]]
Once a mere file clerk, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Optimus was drawn to the charismatic [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]'s campaign for change, becoming one of his closest allies. During a meeting at [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], Optimus assured Megatron he would author the speech Megatron was to give at their upcoming rally. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

At the rally, Optimus stood amongst Megatron’s closest allies as he unveiled the Decepticon movement. Though the rally was a success, Megatron's growing power began to reveal darker shades of his personality and ambition. As the revolution threatened to turn into war, Optimus took Bumblebee with him so they could speak to Megatron and try to peacefully resolve their issues. With neither Megatron or Optimus willing to bend to the other, Megatron declared open war on his old friend and his faction. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

After an attack on the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] at the hands of Megatron, the fatally wounded [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]] had Bumblebee bring Optimus to him. Though Optimus blamed himself for the war, Trion reassured his protege that he had done what he felt was right and stayed true to himself. Before he passed however, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto Optimus who accepted the talisman and became Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

As the war escalated, Optimus was captured by the notorious [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] who stashed him in an Energon warehouse. Before he could delivered, Optimus was rescued by Bumblebee and brought back to Autobot territory. {{storylink|Shadowstriker}} Another adventure saw him personally carry a wounded [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] across a battlefield. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}
[[File:MatrixOfLeadership-OPglows.jpg|thumb|300px|left|"I HAVE THE POWER!"]]
After learning that the Decepticons sought to use [[Vector Sigma]] to reprogram the [[AllSpark]], {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} the Autobots planned to keep the artifact out of Megatron's reach by sending it through a [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]]. Though the Decepticons put up a fierce fight, the Autobots ultimately succeeded in their goal, Decepticon firepower caused the Space Bridge to collapse after the AllSpark was sent through, sending it to parts unknown. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Sometime later, Optimus and Bumblebee were being pursued by [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. After a short battle in the [[Grand Imperium]] resulting in the Seekers retreating, the pair reflected on Cybertron’s current state and how Optimus had failed to account for the debilitating effects that the AllSpark's absence would have on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Realizing the mistake he'd made in launching the artifact, Optimus ordered the construction of a new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel so that the AllSpark could be located and retrieved. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

When the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] was completed, it launched from Iacon. {{storylink|Fractured}} Among the Autobots joining him was Bumblebee, who shared a heartfelt goodbye with [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before Optimus called him to the ship. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

During their travels, the Autobots, running critically low on [[Energon]], stopped on a nearby planet in response to an Energon reading. Once there, they found a race of [[Cave monster|subterranean creatures]] that attacked them on sight. During the battle, Optimus realized the creatures fed off of Energon and ordered his troops to retreat. Despite the planet containing much needed Energon, Optimus insisted it be left alone, finding it too high a moral cost to damn the aliens to extinction merely to ensure their own survival. Instead, he ordered the entire crew to enter stasis to conserve power. {{storylink|The Journey}}

On autopilot, the ''Ark'' made its way to [[Earth]] only to suffer a hull breach and crash, {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}} in [[Mount St. Hilary]], its sleeping passengers blissfully unaware of their ship's fate. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

This unintentional radio silence left many of the Autobots on Cybertron to question the fate of their missing comrades with Bumblebee's amnesia preventing him from answering Windblade's queries on Optimus's location. {{storylink|Fractured}} {{storylink|The Journey}}

Once [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] had hacked into Windblade and Bumblebee's [[cortical psychic patch]], he trapped the scout in a fake memory that painted both he and Optimus as deep-cover Decepticons who had sabotaged the ''Ark''. Realizing that Optimus would never commit such acts, Bumblebee managed to break free of the illusion. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

When Bumblebee's group had rediscovered the ''Ark'', [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] managed to reactivate the ship and revive the crew. As Optimus caught up with his friends, getting a hug from Bumblebee, Teletraan informed everyone that a [[Decepticon fleet]] was bearing down on their location. Not wasting a moment, Optimus led his crew outside so they could confront their foes. {{storylink|Eruption}}

**''Action Attack'': "Ion Blast"
:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Scout Class Optimus Prime is a roughly Legends Class sized figure of Optimus Prime that transforms into a ''half-robot-half-truck thing'', also known as a "transformational mode". When he is transformed, an [[ion blaster]] flips onto his arm, representing his "Ion Blast" Action Attack... which looks as if he [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|has his own]] [[fusion cannon]] due to it being a humongous, arm-mounted cannon. Optimus also features one 5mm-compatible hand on his right arm. Perhaps he wants to have an optional weapon before pulling out the big gun?

:Released as part of the second wave of 1-Step Changers, this ''Cyberverse'' Optimus Prime is an all-new mold, with the transformation engineering taking cues from the [[Megatron_(Movie)/toys#Robots_in_Disguise|''Age of Extinction'' Galvatron]] toy. His transformation is triggered when you depress a tab on the back of his wind vane and spin the wind vane a full 360 degrees, deploying his robot mode. Rotating the wind vane clockwise changes him back into a truck. He features articulation at his shoulders.

He also features a pop-out axe on his left hand when pushing his back after the gimmick is set up. Because of this, he has both no left hand and elbow articulation.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Ultimate Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Matrix Mega Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is a toy that transforms from a roughly Leader-sized robot to truck in around eleven steps. Articulation is somewhat limited for such a large toy, but sells at a cheaper price point as a trade-off. The arms have ratcheted elbows, a swiveling bicep, and shoulders that swivel forward and hinge outward. The legs have ratcheted hips and thigh swivels, plus a knee joint which is located further down the leg from the molded detail to facilitate transformation. His truck mode is largely based on his G1 design but with cues from the [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|''War for Cybertron'' vehicle mode]]. As such, it looks like a big red fist on wheels. The shoulder panels that sport his two Autobot [[insignia]] [[tampograph]]s fold forward to become his truck mode doors, hiding his faction symbols and therefore allowing this Optimus to be a better robot in disguise than most other Optimus Prime toys in existence. On the other hand, the hip ratchets can barely support an even wider A-stance due to the combined weight of the upper torso.

:His "Matrix Mega Shot" Action Attack gimmick utilizes the Matrix of Leadership within the figure's chest. <ref name=io9>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/these-new-transformers-cyberverse-figures-are-fantastic-1823007404 These New Transformers Cyberverse Figures Are Fantastic Callbacks to the Original '80s Toys] at io9.gizmodo.com</ref> This feature can be accessed in robot mode by pressing down just on his left clavicle, or in vehicle mode by pressing down on the top of the cab. In fact, you will likely deploy it on accident a lot due to how sensitive the button is, especially during transformation. Once deployed, it can be made to spin by rolling the truck mode forward (powered by the right front wheel) or by spinning the small red wheel on his robot mode side. This causes the clear blue "energy" details to open, revealing the Matrix underneath. This gimmick is gravity dependent, meaning it must be in the correct position to activate properly. Unlike the other simple-assembly wheels, the front right wheel activates the gimmick in vehicle mode due to the connection between the gimmick's hexagonal joints. Because of this, only 5 out of 6 wheels can smoothly roll unless you pull him backwards or push it down while rolling him forwards, which also activates the spinning matrix inside the truck.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Optimus-Prime.jpg|upright=2|thumb]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Accessories'': Jet/Battle Armor

:Elite Class Optimus Prime is a smaller (probably in the size of an older Scout Class toys), less Action Attack-laden new mold that transforms from robot to a smokestack-less truck. He also comes with a fighter jet accessory with built-in Gatling guns, which can form his battle armor in robot mode. Like all Elite Class toys, the accessory also comes with a unique alternate head piece which replaces his original head.

:Ark Power Optimus Prime is an all-new Leader-sized mold that features a completely different transformation from the Ultimate Class toy. He also includes a large accessory that is modelled after the Ark, which also transforms into his battle armor with a molded blade for his left gauntlet.

==Notes==
*As with the rest of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Optimus Prime's design is based on the [[Evergreen]] design also used for his [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*Prime's voice was heard a long time before ''Cyberverse'' began airing, as it was used in multiple fan series.

'''''Angry Birds Transformers''''' is a mobile app for both iPhone and Android platforms developed and published by [[Rovio]]. It is a themed version of the developer's mega-popular mobile game ''{{w|Angry Birds}}''.

As of September 2018, it is still live and still updating with new competitions and characters.

==Synopsis==
The [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers comic|EggSpark]] has landed on [[Piggy Island]], transforming its dueling inhabitants and giving them bodies and powers based on the Transformers: the birds of the [[Flock]] become [[Autobird]]s and the [[Bad Piggies]] the [[Deceptihog]]s. The two sides briefly continue their struggle with these new powers until they are both threatened by another transformed group, the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]]s, who seek to transform all of Piggy Island into metal, backed by countless robotized [[Minion Pig]]s.

Most of the Autobirds and all of the Deceptihogs are captured leaving only [[Red (AB)|Red]] (who has the powers of [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]]) free. The leader of the Flock (you know him well) heads out to free the Autobirds ''and'' Deceptihogs, for only by joining forces can they restore Piggy Island to normal!

==Gameplay==
The game is a deviation from the normal ''Angry Birds'' formula, but the core goal, toppling block towers to pop the Bad Piggies on them, is the same.

Once you select an available stage from the map of Piggie Island, your character runs along the foreground at a set speed, as block towers scroll by in the background. By tapping the screen, your character takes aim and fires their weapon. You can also hold-and-drag to fire in a spread (if the character's weapon isn't a single-shot blast), or press the "Auto" button to let the computer do the targeting for you (though it isn't very efficient). The trick is to quickly determine which blocks in the structure are best to destroy/shove to cause a domino effect, toppling them and popping the Piggies by dropping blocks on them or making them fall far enough. (Remember, weaker blocks are not always the best target!) You can also attack the Piggies directly; in fact, some characters specialize in this more direct approach!

Block types include:
:*'''Ice Blocks''': Very weak, easily shattered (1 Coin)
:*'''Wood Blocks''': Fairly sturdy but not hard to break (2 Coins)
:*'''Stone Blocks''': Very durable, better for pushing than breaking (3 Coins)
:*'''TNT Blocks''': Easily-broken crates that explode with a considerable radius, sending blocks flying
:*'''Coin Blocks''': Golden blocks that spit out Coins with every hit. Pretty dang sturdy, but if you destroy them, you earn a lot of Coins (50~250 Coins).

Each stage is also littered with cyberformed scenery with blinky lights that can be blasted to revert it to normal. Doing so sends an [[Energon cube]] hurtling towards the character. If the character is accompanied by an [[Energonicon]], the cube is used to fuel its special power, activated by tapping the icon. If the character is an Energon variant then the character's health will go up about half a heart, at the cost of taking more damage. A full Energonicon cannot make use of extra cubes, so timely tapping to spend the energy before obtaining more is key. As your characters level up, they can store more Energon cubes, up to three, which generally extend the duration of the Energonicon's effects.

Most areas also have random destructible elements that can be blasted. The more destruction you cause, the more Coins you get to buy upgrades and explore new areas. Each level has a set length; you do not have to pop every Piggie to pass, merely survive to the end.

"Survive"? Yeah. Some Piggies are weaponized and will begin to attack shortly after appearing on-screen, even before you can retaliate. Thus, popping these Piggies (or at least upending them to throw off their aim) quickly becomes essential. You can also try to escape attacks and falling Monoliths by transforming to vehicle mode. This speeds you along a bit, but removes your ability to attack or call in partners, plus you can only maintain vehicle mode for a limited time. Attacking automatically transforms you back to robot mode. There are other obstacles that can decrease a character's health bar; lose all your life and the character is picked up by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]; you can then spend some [[Gem]]s to immediately put them back into the fight, or let the timer run out and quit the level. If you quit, you will not earn Piggie points for the level, you do keep any Coins you collected. Health does not restore between levels, so if a character is low you must spend Coins to repair them. This takes them out of the game for a while, in real-time, even when the game is off. You can then repair them instantly by spending Gems, or you can skip all that and immediately restore them to full health instantly by watching an ad (up to 30 seconds long) or scanning their transformable figure (if they have one) with a [[Telepod]].

New stages are unlocked by leveling up your characters, increasing your Rank one point with every level-up. Every 5 or 10 Rank settings lets you clear the clouds away from a new area of Piggy Island. The Caves can only be unlocked by using 10000 Plasma. Plasma can be unlocked by Challenge Events, Daily Quests, Daily Rewards, and Crates.

Cleared stages will slowly earn Coins over real-time. Tapping on the Coins on the map adds them to your bank. After a set point they will not accrue anymore: this threshold is about four hours of real time, the maximum amount hinging on how many character Squads you've completed. There are also randomly spawning treasure chests on the map, tap them to earn various amounts of Gems. However, roaming Eggbots will re-cyberform cleared stages, which removes their Coin bonuses. You can see which stages they are working on, how long the cyberforming process will take, and even interrupt their work (at the cost of Gems), giving you the chance to pelt an Eggbot in-level for extra Coins. Cyberforming too goes on in real-time. Once a stage is re-cyberformed, it can be played again. Note that merely peeking at an in-development will not automatically charge you Gems; you still have a choice to intercept or not.

===Character Choices===
Every stage has a pre-set character you control, based on who you've rescued so far. Every character has a different style of attack, movement speed, and armor rating. Working out the strengths and weaknesses of each character is key to high scores, and in some cases simple survival.

New characters can be added to your roster in a few different ways. In-game, a set of "starter" characters are held captive in ice blocks on the map, one per area, and you must "spend" a specific number of popped Piggies to break them out. You then have to play a short level with that character, and if they make it to the end, they're yours to keep. If not, they are re-frozen, but thankfully you can try again without having to spend all those hard-earned Piggy points again. There are also many, ''many'' other characters who can be unlocked via Space Bridge Missions (see below) or Challenge Events (also see below).

Out-of-game, this is where you can spend actual-factual money, on the [[Angry Birds Transformers (toyline)|tie-in toys]]. By placing one of the figures on a [[Telepod]] and placing ''that'' on your device's camera lens, the game reads the code on the figure and inserts it into the game for a limited amount of time (currently 24 hours). While the characters unlocked this way are only available temporarily until unlocked via Piggie points, there is no limit on how often you can scan the figure, plus any upgrade progress is saved. You can also use this method to power-up already-unlocked characters before a stage or speed up their repairs without spending Gems; again there is no limit to the number of times you can scan (but the effects will not stack).

;Improving characters
Every character can be upgraded multiple times (nominal maximum level for characters is 15, but they can be upgraded further than that in select Challenge Events) by spending Coins and Materials, which (of course) takes them out of play for a while. Each upgrade is pre-set, increasing attack strength, armor strength, or vehicle mode duration. At certain levels, their Energon capacity is increased, and these levels vary from character to character. You can spend much-rarer Gems to make the upgrade happen instantly; the closer the upgrades are to complete, the fewer Gems you need to spend. Upgrading characters is ''vital'' as the levels get harder and harder, not to mention in the phone version you can only unlock new areas with an overall player level, which is raised by upgrading your characters. This isn't the case in the tablet version where you can spend Gold Coins to unlock new areas. You can only have one character undergoing an upgrade at a time.

Characters can also be upgraded inside Astrotrain by customizing them with Accessories. These extra items cost Gems (or Tokens, see "Challenge Events" below) and not only alter the characters' appearance, but they boost stats, or imbue special abilities to weapons. One Accessory can be placed on a character's head, face, chest, arms and back each. Some Challenge Events have special exclusive Accessories you can't buy with Gems! As most Accessories are character-specific, see each character's page for more detailed information.

;Call-in Buddies
[[File:Angry-Birds-Transformers-Call-in-buddy-Energon-Bumblebee-Chuck.jpg|thumb|New characters are frequently "previewed" as call-in buddies before they're properly available.]]
Soon you get the option to have a second character on standby, who you can call in and have the computer control for a brief period. They enter the stage in slow motion with a massive shockwave that does damage to most everything within the blast radius, obliterating Ice Blocks but only damaging tougher targets. These characters will warp out after a few seconds, then you must wait for their meter to re-charge before calling them back in. However, there's a limit to when you are able to call in a partner; once you see [[Astrotrain (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers|Astrotrain]] fly overhead, your partner's no longer available. On the other hand, the stage is close to over! But if your partner is ''already'' out when you hit that checkpoint, then they will stay active until the very end of the level, nice for really piling on the destruction.

You get to see your partner before you start the stage, and if you don't like that character choice, you can change it by spending some Coins. Partners are either randomly generated (which can let you see characters you haven't unlocked yet), or pulled from the character rosters of your friends if you've connected to the game via Facebook or Google+ or iTunes or whatever the social network stuff the kids are into these days is. If you called on them in the level, you can "thank" them afterward. Doing so gives the other player a nominal reward (either a Gem or 25 Coins), while not thanking them simply tells the other player that while you're grateful for the firepower assist, you don't think they deserve any actual compensation. You jerk. However this seems to be only for your friends if you use the social network support. When you don't have friends or don't believe in social media, you get random users to help, and if people use your characters and you're not friends with them via social network you don't get any rewards if they thank you.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Upcoming character.''

{{anchor|Squads}}
;Squads
Completing character Squads is the key to bigger earnings, in many different ways. The more Squads you have filled out, the higher the max number of Coins unoccupied map spaces can accrue. Also, any character from a completed Squad earns a 50% Coins bonus once they finish a level. Luckily, any Squads you complete will ''stay'' checked as complete even if new characters are later added to them, so you don't have to worry about losing bonuses with game updates.

During many Challenge Events (see below), you can earn bonuses to your Event scores by using a character from the suggested Squad. For a while the chosen Squad changed every four hours with (mostly) randomized percentages, but currently stays set at a single squad for the duration of the Event, with a x4 score multiplier ''if'' the character has been "Promoted". (If this sounds like it's kind of complicated, well, it ''is'' kind of complicated.)

===Materials===
[[File:ABTF-screen MaterialSilo.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Materials are special items earned by successfully completing stages, Missions, and Daily Quests, stored in the Silo. These are used to create Energonicons (and other prizes) at [[Professor Pig]]'s lab, and to upgrade your characters.

The amount of Materials you can store is dictated by the level of the Silo. The Silo can be upgraded using Coins and Materials, which not only lets you store larger numbers and higher levels of Materials, but increases the number and rarity of Materials rewarded upon stage completion. Any Materials won that exceed the Silo's capacity are converted to Coins. The Silo's maximum level was 15, but a fall 2017 update increased the storage capacity to 25.

===Space Bridge Missions===
In addition to the stages, there are [[space bridge|Space Bridge]] Missions that your freed characters can complete in order to earn Materials, Coins, Gems, or even new characters (Arcee, Airachnid, Prowl, and Bluestreak). There are three Space Bridges difficulties —Easy, Medium, and Hard— progressively unlocked by clearing more of the map of clouds. Each Space Bridge also has three Missions to choose from when open, with three different time requirements: the longer the Mission, the better the potential prizes.

Missions are "played" by selecting up to three characters from your available roster to participate. The Easy Bridge lets you send two characters for free, the other two only one, and sending any more requires Gem spending. Easy And Medium cost 100 Gems per extra character, and Hard 200, and given you ''might'' get back a grand total of 20 Gems even at the highest prize levels that is compltely not worth it. Characters who are taking part in Missions are basically gone for the duration, unable to be played in normal stages (and sometimes Challenge Events) until the Mission timer runs out. You can cut the Mission short by spending Gems.

Every Mission has a "type" icon: a light bulb (intelligence), a magnifying glass (investigation), or a missile (firepower), which helps the player determine which character would be most suited for completing it. The higher the level your character is at, the better the character is and the higher they'll score. Once you have your character(s) selected, you are able to use popped Pigs as "reinforcements" to lower the Mission timer to a minimum of half the original runtime (which can easily cost thousands of Pig points, but those are really easy to amass).

When the Mission is completed, the result screen bar fills up, earning you a key for every "level", up to five total (you always automatically get one key regardless of performance). You also (usually) have the option to watch an ad to earn one additional key. These keys are used to unlock the five prize boxes presented to you. The potential prizes are quickly shown before being wrapped in gift boxes and spun around randomly, thus you must blindly select a present and hope for the best. If you don't have enough keys to unlock all five prizes, you can spend Gems (because of course you can) to collect the remaining presents (10 for Easy, 20 for Medium, and 30 for Hard), but this is really only worth it for unlocking new characters or if you ''really really'' need that [[Super Rareium]] ''right now''.

Given how many characters you can amass, this is a pretty simple way to gather Materials, tons of Coins, and even Gems over time with minimal effort.

===Ads and upsells===
[[File:ABTF-screen BuyGems.jpg|thumb|300px|Keep in mind the average, decent Accessory costs are roughly 400 Gems. Better ones 800~1000 or so.]]
It's a free game, so how does Rovio make its money? By copious amounts of ads (largely for other games) and by enticing you to spend real currency on in-game currency.

The ads can actually have a gameplay effect, in a disturbingly clever move. After completing any stage, you are given the option to watch a short video ad; doing so doubles your end-of-stage rewards. Similarly, when opening a Daily Reward, you can watch an ad to double the reward. Like we already said, upon completeing a Space Bridge Mission, you can watch an ad to obtain an extra key. When choosing a partner for a stage, you will also get a prompt to watch an ad; doing so gives your partner a one-stage stat boost and ups the amount of time they can stay in-play. However, you can only watch so many ads within a set amount of time, so choose which bonuses you go for wisely. You can also watch an ad to repair a character instantly; there does not appear to be any limit to this. And of course, ads may pop up anyway unless a purchase is made.

Spending real monies allows you to buy large numbers of Gems, which are used to buy Accessories, speed up character upgrades and repairs, interrupt the Eggbot terraforming to make a stage playable sooner, and about a billion other small things all over the game. Gem packages range from 150 for $4.49 US to 5200 for '''''$99.99''''' which what the hell who even spends that much money on these things?! And considering that mere ''accessories'', can run up to 1000 crystals, with most of the "buddy character" ones in the 850 range? Yeesh. From time to time there will be "sales" which either cut the prices down a bit or give you more Gems in each package, but come on.

Depending on who you ask, according to many reviewers, if you had to do a wipe or ever lose your files for some reason, you can lose all your progress. People have gotten their characters leveled up to the max. Which costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins or thousands of gems (read: lots and lots of grinding or real monies) only for it to be all for naught. But now that's not much of a problem since you can cloud save your progress with the Game Center on IOS or a Facebook account on Android.
{{-}}

===Challenge Events===
Starting in late 2015, the game introduced Challenge Events, five-to-ten-day-long themed events with the lure of prizes including unique unlockable characters and Accessories. While sparse at first, by mid-2016 events were popping up ''really'' frequently. Now it's continuous scheduled event after event.
[[File:ABTF-screen ChallengeEvent.jpg|left|300px|thumb]]
Each day of an Event, the player is pit against 19 randomly-selected others at the same level (across the whole player base!) in a race to tally the most points within 24 hours by destroying as many of a specific object or enemy as possible in separate event stages. Entering a Challenge stage takes one "battery" of energy from the Challenge selection; the player starts with four, and spent batteries will recharge after an hour, one at a time. ''Of course'' you can spend Gems to speed up the process and instantly go back to four full batteries, but that cost increases every time: the first recharge costs 10 Gems, the next 20, then 40, 60, 80, then up to 100 for each recharge. Thankfully, that charge resets to the lowest amount each new day of the event.

In the earliest events, players could only take a single already-unlocked character and an [[Energonicon]] into the event with them. Eventually this changed, and depending on the event, you might be able to choose from your entire roster of unlocked characters, only certain members you've unlocked that match the event theme, or even "trial" characters you don't have yet who you can permanently unlock for the first time through the event you're playing there and now. Sometimes you can choose two characters and swap back and forth between the two (with a delay in recall time, of course). In some events, choosing characters from specific Teams and a specific Energonicon will add a percentage bonus to your final score, though given the potential dangers, one must take care to decide if the bonus is worth it if the bonus-giving characters aren't well-suited to taking out the target of choice for the day.

In 2017, the bonus scoring was changed to use "Sparks" won in Daily Challenges and awarded as Event prizes. By spending Sparks, you could "promote" a character, giving them an extra 5% bonus to your score per "rank" at the end of a run. Naturally, the higher the rank, the more Sparks you need. Selecting characters from the bonus Squad (which does not change for the duration of the event) gives them a multiplier to their Promotion bonuses, quadrupling the score.

Challenges are rewarded with Tokens, earned by reaching certain target milestones (milestones and prize amounts now vary from event to event), and according to your rank at the end of the 24-hour period (from 1000 to 100). These Tokens carry over from prior days' challenges up until the end of the promotion, and can be spent on prizes, including new characters, instant level-ups and accessories for select characters, Sparks, and Coins. Accessories are often less costly to obtain in Challenges than via normal Gem purchase. There is a 1-day token exchange period after each event ends, so some can spend the tokens they may have won from the final day's competition... and any ''new'' Tokens awarded through other means during the exchange period.

Originally, the milestones were consecutive 10 to 100. up to 550 tokens each day. Occasionally, mini-events give more token amounts than usual. But with the current token system, the maximum tokens possible per day are about 2000! But the final three milestones are ''impossible'' to reach without ''two'' highly-promoted characters of the same squad and/or hundreds and hundreds of gems!

Tokens are not currently able to be saved between different Challenge Events, but representatives from Rovio/[[Exient]] had raised it as a possibility, especially given how frequent the events have become. A year later, and they haven't done it, so pfffffft.

===Achievements===
{{gamestub}}
{{-}}

===Daily Quests===
[[File:ABTF-screen DailyQuest.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Starting in September 2016, the game added Daily Quests, which are like the normal Achievements, but on a much smaller scale. Every 24 hours (starting at midnight via the clock on the player's device), eight randomized Quests are opened up, each earning a small prize for completion.

Quests can range from simple stuff like visiting a certain area so many times, destroying enough Pigs or blocks, creating enough items at the Lab, etc, to more difficult feats like pulling off enough slow-mo [[Monolith]] dodges, entering Astrotrain while scrambled, or racking up enough damage while in fast-forward at the [[Piggy Island|Cobalt Plateaus]]. The prizes are similarly random, with Pig Points, Coins, Gems, Materials, and even Tokens (only during Challenge Events) available.

There is also a ninth Quest with a four-part prize, earned only by completing all eight other Quests within the 24 hours.

With the introduction of Sparks, many quests were dropped completely, and others made to appear less frequently. Currently, these Daily Quests are always in the mix:

* Visit the Pig lab and craft something
* Open 5 Crates
* Visit Shockwave's Spire
* Thank 3 buddies after events
* Collect 30 Energon cubes
* Pop 300 of any type of Pig

The final prize is always a generous 10 gems, 250 pigs, 15000 coins, and <s>500</s> 400 spark.

===Daily Reward===
[[File:Angry-Birds-Daily-Reward-Cave-Locked.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:Angry-Birds-Daily-Reward-After-Cave-Unlocked.jpg|thumb]]
{{gamestub}}
{{-}}

===Jenga stage===
Down at the beach, there's the Jenga stage, shaped like the large [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] Jenga toy that you could buy in stores. This mini-game remains locked until you use an unlocking code found in any of the ''Angry Birds Transformers Jenga'' toys.

Once open, this stage is a fair bit different. First you pick a Driver and a Gunner from a fixed set of characters (unaffected by who you have unlocked or away on Missions or upgrading). The Driver then travels along a path, gathering free-floating Coins and smashing through block towers. There are holes in the path, so sometimes you need to hit the turbo button for a burst of speed to carry you over. The turbo boost will drain quickly, so overuse can leave you dry when the big jump comes up. The goal is to gather as many coins and clear out as many blocks as possible and make it to the end for a higher score. Falling into a pit doesn't end the level, it just ends the Driver's turn and makes the Gunner's turn that little bit more difficult.

The Gunner then runs through a different path further out, and their job is to clear out as many blocks from inside the giant Grimlock Bird frame with their firepower. Naturally, this is easier if the Driver has cleared out the block towers that stood between the Gunner path and the frame. The more blocks that are destroyed or at least knocked completely out of the frame, the higher your score.

So why do this? Your Jenga scores accumulate over the course of 24 hours, and reaching 300 points nets you a prize. Often this is just a sum of Coins, no big whoop. But it's worth checking back every day, because the prize changes every 24 hours, and sometimes it's a small cache of Gems. Spending five minutes to get 10 Gems isn't bad, given how stingy the game can be with giving away the premium currency. Also, what happens in Jenga mode counts towards your Daily Quests: every mile you walk or drive, every block you smash, and every time you finish the "event". It can be a very quick way to knock out a couple of Quests at no cost other than a few minutes' time.

{{note|Bumblebee seems to be the best choice for the Driver, while Bludgeon works best as the Gunner thanks to his wide multi-shot cannon, though characters with rapid-fire attacks can really clean up if they can equip explosive rounds (like Energon Starscream). The available characters in Jenga mode have changed over the course of the game, eliminating certain characters whose weapons are designed for easy mass block destruction.}}
{{-}}

===Sparkrun===
[[File:ABTFScreen-Sparkrun.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Introduced March 2017, the Sparkrun lets you earn Spark (Only Spark; you don't earn any pigs or coins in this mode) by destroying everything you can in a special extra-long stage that goes through five random areas, with transitions through caves. You select three characters, and should your first 'bot go down, the next one you selected takes his place. You can also use a random character specially power-boosted for the Sparkrun. Promoted characters can also be used to increase the final score, which you'll need as they may not be enough stuff to get all the Spark in the level alone. Earn enough spark and the next difficulty level will be unlocked, each level adding 10 additional Spark to the initial 100, and increasing the damage of offensive pigs.

Gold blocks give the most amount of spark points, so be sure to destroy all of them!

Watch out for pigs with special buffs, like those that deal painfully more damage, regenerate health, shielded pigs immune to small arms fire, fast pigs, and health buffed pigs!

The Sparkrun can be played once a day, but can be reactivated for 100 gems.

As of a June 2017 update, many improvements were made. All enemies and missiles now give points when before only ground pigs and blocks gave points. Spark scoring has been rebalanced, making it easier to earn the max amount of Spark in higher difficulties. A fourth character slot can be unlocked for 1000 gems. And more importantly, the game is much, much less likely to crash in the middle of a Sparkrun. However, as players continued to advance in the game and "max" out their team of four characters at full promotion (140% x4) they realized the maximum difficulty in Sparkrun ended at 160. It was not possible to advance beyond difficulty 160 and the maximum reward of 1690 Sparks were incredibly rare to obtain due to the limited number of points that could be scored (the 5 levels in a Sparkrun course + the interconnecting caverns were completely random).

In a February 2018 update, a fifth character slot was added and available to be unlocked (permanently) for 2500 gems. The difficult ceiling was again raised beyond the previous maximum (160) with increasing Spark rewards. In the same update, the maximum promotion of characters were also raised (increased from 140% to 175%) which made it possible to once again score enough points to obtain the max Sparks available in a single Sparkrun.

===Crates===
In a September 2017 update, Crates were introduced which give various prizes, which fall under five rarities. Steel Crates give common, uncommon, or rare prizes that can be claimed for free every 24 hours or purchased for 15000 coins each; ''finally'' something to spend the coins you've stockpiled in the millions on. Opening ten at a time gives a guaranteed Rare prize. Gold Crates can give rare, epic, or legendary prizes, and can be purchased for 200 Gems each. Opening ten at a time is 5% off and gives a guaranteed epic prize.

Some of the possible prizes by rartiy:
*Common: Coins, 1-star accessory, Pigs, Tokens (~30~), Gems (2-3), Materials
*Uncommon: Coins, Materials
*Rare: Coins(~14500~), Spark, Tokens, 2~3-star Accessory upgrade
*Epic: 3-star accessory, 3-star accessory upgrade, Gems (~200~)
*Legendary: Instant upgrade, new Bot

Speaking of accessories, this update revamps the accessory system; Gem costs are significantly reduced, although this means token costs of accessories in Challenge Events is double the gem cost. New accessories are introduced (and old accessories from waaay back in 2014 are re-introduced). Accessories have five ratings, and can be unlocked or upgraded from crates.
{{-}}

===Shockwave's Spire===
Thought opening Gold Crates was a gamble? Well this new feature introduced December 2017 is really a gamble! Shockwave's Spire is essentially the same as ''Angry Birds 2'''s Tower of Fortune. There are several floors that each have four cards from which you pick one and get various prizes. The higher you go, the better the prizes and higher the rarity, all the way to legendary prizes at floor 90! And a guaranteed accessory every 5 floors! You can exit anytime and claim the prizes in the stash. '''''But''''' if you pick a pig card, you will lose them all! Unless you pay gems to keep playing. The gem cost will naturally increase significantly each time you make a gambling blunder.

Once you exit, Shockwave's Spire will not be available to play again (not even gem skips!) until the next day.

Be careful not to form certain habits and throw in way too many gems (and money).

==Notes==
* [[FIRRIB|Frenzy is red, Rumble is blue.]]
* This is the second ''Angry Birds'' crossover game, the first being with the undisputed king of cross-promotion, ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''.
* This is also the second 3D ''Angry Birds'' title, with prior games using 2D graphics save the racing game ''Angry Birds Go!'' (which also got a [[Hasbro]] toyline).
* You can alter a device's time to make the upgrades, Missions and other timed aspects go faster, although if you go too far or revert to current time, you'll get an error message about "Time travel detected! Your characters have suffered" and you'll be slapped on the wrist by getting them downgraded in relation to how far away from real time you were. So maybe don't do that.

===References===
This game is loaded with tiny jokes and references to Transformers lore.

* The character designs pull from a broad mix of generations. While (obviously) [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] gets the most representation, there are also elements from the [[Live-action film series|live-action movies]], ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]''. Each character also has a number of wearable accessories, many of which are based on wider ''Transformers'' lore. (See individual character pages for the rundown on each.)

'''''Angry Birds Transformers''''' is a mobile app for both iPhone and Android platforms developed and published by [[Rovio]]. It is a themed version of the developer's mega-popular mobile game ''{{w|Angry Birds}}''.

As of September 2018, it is still live and still updating with new competitions and characters.

==Synopsis==
The [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers comic|EggSpark]] has landed on [[Piggy Island]], transforming its dueling inhabitants and giving them bodies and powers based on the Transformers: the birds of the [[Flock]] become [[Autobird]]s and the [[Bad Piggies]] the [[Deceptihog]]s. The two sides briefly continue their struggle with these new powers until they are both threatened by another transformed group, the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbot]]s, who seek to transform all of Piggy Island into metal, backed by countless robotized [[Minion Pig]]s.

Most of the Autobirds and all of the Deceptihogs are captured leaving only [[Red (AB)|Red]] (who has the powers of [[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]]) free. The leader of the Flock (you know him well) heads out to free the Autobirds ''and'' Deceptihogs, for only by joining forces can they restore Piggy Island to normal!

==Gameplay==
The game is a deviation from the normal ''Angry Birds'' formula, but the core goal, toppling block towers to pop the Bad Piggies on them, is the same.

Once you select an available stage from the map of Piggie Island, your character runs along the foreground at a set speed, as block towers scroll by in the background. By tapping the screen, your character takes aim and fires their weapon. You can also hold-and-drag to fire in a spread (if the character's weapon isn't a single-shot blast), or press the "Auto" button to let the computer do the targeting for you (though it isn't very efficient). The trick is to quickly determine which blocks in the structure are best to destroy/shove to cause a domino effect, toppling them and popping the Piggies by dropping blocks on them or making them fall far enough. (Remember, weaker blocks are not always the best target!) You can also attack the Piggies directly; in fact, some characters specialize in this more direct approach!

Block types include:
:*'''Ice Blocks''': Very weak, easily shattered (1 Coin)
:*'''Wood Blocks''': Fairly sturdy but not hard to break (2 Coins)
:*'''Stone Blocks''': Very durable, better for pushing than breaking (3 Coins)
:*'''TNT Blocks''': Easily-broken crates that explode with a considerable radius, sending blocks flying
:*'''Coin Blocks''': Golden blocks that spit out Coins with every hit. Pretty dang sturdy, but if you destroy them, you earn a lot of Coins (50~250 Coins).

Each stage is also littered with cyberformed scenery with blinky lights that can be blasted to revert it to normal. Doing so sends an [[Energon cube]] hurtling towards the character. If the character is accompanied by an [[Energonicon]], the cube is used to fuel its special power, activated by tapping the icon. If the character is an Energon variant then the character's health will go up about half a heart, at the cost of taking more damage. A full Energonicon cannot make use of extra cubes, so timely tapping to spend the energy before obtaining more is key. As your characters level up, they can store more Energon cubes, up to three, which generally extend the duration of the Energonicon's effects.

Most areas also have random destructible elements that can be blasted. The more destruction you cause, the more Coins you get to buy upgrades and explore new areas. Each level has a set length; you do not have to pop every Piggie to pass, merely survive to the end.

"Survive"? Yeah. Some Piggies are weaponized and will begin to attack shortly after appearing on-screen, even before you can retaliate. Thus, popping these Piggies (or at least upending them to throw off their aim) quickly becomes essential. You can also try to escape attacks and falling Monoliths by transforming to vehicle mode. This speeds you along a bit, but removes your ability to attack or call in partners, plus you can only maintain vehicle mode for a limited time. Attacking automatically transforms you back to robot mode. There are other obstacles that can decrease a character's health bar; lose all your life and the character is picked up by [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]; you can then spend some [[Gem]]s to immediately put them back into the fight, or let the timer run out and quit the level. If you quit, you will not earn Piggie points for the level, you do keep any Coins you collected. Health does not restore between levels, so if a character is low you must spend Coins to repair them. This takes them out of the game for a while, in real-time, even when the game is off. You can then repair them instantly by spending Gems, or you can skip all that and immediately restore them to full health instantly by watching an ad (up to 30 seconds long) or scanning their transformable figure (if they have one) with a [[Telepod]].

New stages are unlocked by leveling up your characters, increasing your Rank one point with every level-up. Every 5 or 10 Rank settings lets you clear the clouds away from a new area of Piggy Island. The Caves can only be unlocked by using 10000 Plasma. Plasma can be unlocked by Challenge Events, Daily Quests, Daily Rewards, and Crates.

Cleared stages will slowly earn Coins over real-time. Tapping on the Coins on the map adds them to your bank. After a set point they will not accrue anymore: this threshold is about four hours of real time, the maximum amount hinging on how many character Squads you've completed. There are also randomly spawning treasure chests on the map, tap them to earn various amounts of Gems. However, roaming Eggbots will re-cyberform cleared stages, which removes their Coin bonuses. You can see which stages they are working on, how long the cyberforming process will take, and even interrupt their work (at the cost of Gems), giving you the chance to pelt an Eggbot in-level for extra Coins. Cyberforming too goes on in real-time. Once a stage is re-cyberformed, it can be played again. Note that merely peeking at an in-development will not automatically charge you Gems; you still have a choice to intercept or not.

===Character Choices===
Every stage has a pre-set character you control, based on who you've rescued so far. Every character has a different style of attack, movement speed, and armor rating. Working out the strengths and weaknesses of each character is key to high scores, and in some cases simple survival.

New characters can be added to your roster in a few different ways. In-game, a set of "starter" characters are held captive in ice blocks on the map, one per area, and you must "spend" a specific number of popped Piggies to break them out. You then have to play a short level with that character, and if they make it to the end, they're yours to keep. If not, they are re-frozen, but thankfully you can try again without having to spend all those hard-earned Piggy points again. There are also many, ''many'' other characters who can be unlocked via Space Bridge Missions (see below) or Challenge Events (also see below).

Out-of-game, this is where you can spend actual-factual money, on the [[Angry Birds Transformers (toyline)|tie-in toys]]. By placing one of the figures on a [[Telepod]] and placing ''that'' on your device's camera lens, the game reads the code on the figure and inserts it into the game for a limited amount of time (currently 24 hours). While the characters unlocked this way are only available temporarily until unlocked via Piggie points, there is no limit on how often you can scan the figure, plus any upgrade progress is saved. You can also use this method to power-up already-unlocked characters before a stage or speed up their repairs without spending Gems; again there is no limit to the number of times you can scan (but the effects will not stack).

;Improving characters
Every character can be upgraded multiple times (nominal maximum level for characters is 15, but they can be upgraded further than that in select Challenge Events) by spending Coins and Materials, which (of course) takes them out of play for a while. Each upgrade is pre-set, increasing attack strength, armor strength, or vehicle mode duration. At certain levels, their Energon capacity is increased, and these levels vary from character to character. You can spend much-rarer Gems to make the upgrade happen instantly; the closer the upgrades are to complete, the fewer Gems you need to spend. Upgrading characters is ''vital'' as the levels get harder and harder, not to mention in the phone version you can only unlock new areas with an overall player level, which is raised by upgrading your characters. This isn't the case in the tablet version where you can spend Gold Coins to unlock new areas. You can only have one character undergoing an upgrade at a time.

Characters can also be upgraded inside Astrotrain by customizing them with Accessories. These extra items cost Gems (or Tokens, see "Challenge Events" below) and not only alter the characters' appearance, but they boost stats, or imbue special abilities to weapons. One Accessory can be placed on a character's head, face, chest, arms and back each. Some Challenge Events have special exclusive Accessories you can't buy with Gems! As most Accessories are character-specific, see each character's page for more detailed information.

;Call-in Buddies
[[File:Angry-Birds-Transformers-Call-in-buddy-Energon-Bumblebee-Chuck.jpg|thumb|New characters are frequently "previewed" as call-in buddies before they're properly available.]]
Soon you get the option to have a second character on standby, who you can call in and have the computer control for a brief period. They enter the stage in slow motion with a massive shockwave that does damage to most everything within the blast radius, obliterating Ice Blocks but only damaging tougher targets. These characters will warp out after a few seconds, then you must wait for their meter to re-charge before calling them back in. However, there's a limit to when you are able to call in a partner; once you see [[Astrotrain (G1)#Angry Birds Transformers|Astrotrain]] fly overhead, your partner's no longer available. On the other hand, the stage is close to over! But if your partner is ''already'' out when you hit that checkpoint, then they will stay active until the very end of the level, nice for really piling on the destruction.

You get to see your partner before you start the stage, and if you don't like that character choice, you can change it by spending some Coins. Partners are either randomly generated (which can let you see characters you haven't unlocked yet), or pulled from the character rosters of your friends if you've connected to the game via Facebook or Google+ or iTunes or whatever the social network stuff the kids are into these days is. If you called on them in the level, you can "thank" them afterward. Doing so gives the other player a nominal reward (either a Gem or 25 Coins), while not thanking them simply tells the other player that while you're grateful for the firepower assist, you don't think they deserve any actual compensation. You jerk. However this seems to be only for your friends if you use the social network support. When you don't have friends or don't believe in social media, you get random users to help, and if people use your characters and you're not friends with them via social network you don't get any rewards if they thank you.

{{anchor|Squads}}
;Squads
Completing character Squads is the key to bigger earnings, in many different ways. The more Squads you have filled out, the higher the max number of Coins unoccupied map spaces can accrue. Also, any character from a completed Squad earns a 50% Coins bonus once they finish a level. Luckily, any Squads you complete will ''stay'' checked as complete even if new characters are later added to them, so you don't have to worry about losing bonuses with game updates.

During many Challenge Events (see below), you can earn bonuses to your Event scores by using a character from the suggested Squad. For a while the chosen Squad changed every four hours with (mostly) randomized percentages, but currently stays set at a single squad for the duration of the Event, with a x4 score multiplier ''if'' the character has been "Promoted". (If this sounds like it's kind of complicated, well, it ''is'' kind of complicated.)

===Materials===
[[File:ABTF-screen MaterialSilo.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Materials are special items earned by successfully completing stages, Missions, and Daily Quests, stored in the Silo. These are used to create Energonicons (and other prizes) at [[Professor Pig]]'s lab, and to upgrade your characters.

The amount of Materials you can store is dictated by the level of the Silo. The Silo can be upgraded using Coins and Materials, which not only lets you store larger numbers and higher levels of Materials, but increases the number and rarity of Materials rewarded upon stage completion. Any Materials won that exceed the Silo's capacity are converted to Coins. The Silo's maximum level was 15, but a fall 2017 update increased the storage capacity to 25.

===Space Bridge Missions===
In addition to the stages, there are [[space bridge|Space Bridge]] Missions that your freed characters can complete in order to earn Materials, Coins, Gems, or even new characters (Arcee, Airachnid, Prowl, and Bluestreak). There are three Space Bridges difficulties —Easy, Medium, and Hard— progressively unlocked by clearing more of the map of clouds. Each Space Bridge also has three Missions to choose from when open, with three different time requirements: the longer the Mission, the better the potential prizes.

Missions are "played" by selecting up to three characters from your available roster to participate. The Easy Bridge lets you send two characters for free, the other two only one, and sending any more requires Gem spending. Easy And Medium cost 100 Gems per extra character, and Hard 200, and given you ''might'' get back a grand total of 20 Gems even at the highest prize levels that is compltely not worth it. Characters who are taking part in Missions are basically gone for the duration, unable to be played in normal stages (and sometimes Challenge Events) until the Mission timer runs out. You can cut the Mission short by spending Gems.

Every Mission has a "type" icon: a light bulb (intelligence), a magnifying glass (investigation), or a missile (firepower), which helps the player determine which character would be most suited for completing it. The higher the level your character is at, the better the character is and the higher they'll score. Once you have your character(s) selected, you are able to use popped Pigs as "reinforcements" to lower the Mission timer to a minimum of half the original runtime (which can easily cost thousands of Pig points, but those are really easy to amass).

When the Mission is completed, the result screen bar fills up, earning you a key for every "level", up to five total (you always automatically get one key regardless of performance). You also (usually) have the option to watch an ad to earn one additional key. These keys are used to unlock the five prize boxes presented to you. The potential prizes are quickly shown before being wrapped in gift boxes and spun around randomly, thus you must blindly select a present and hope for the best. If you don't have enough keys to unlock all five prizes, you can spend Gems (because of course you can) to collect the remaining presents (10 for Easy, 20 for Medium, and 30 for Hard), but this is really only worth it for unlocking new characters or if you ''really really'' need that [[Super Rareium]] ''right now''.

Given how many characters you can amass, this is a pretty simple way to gather Materials, tons of Coins, and even Gems over time with minimal effort.

===Ads and upsells===
[[File:ABTF-screen BuyGems.jpg|thumb|300px|Keep in mind the average, decent Accessory costs are roughly 400 Gems. Better ones 800~1000 or so.]]
It's a free game, so how does Rovio make its money? By copious amounts of ads (largely for other games) and by enticing you to spend real currency on in-game currency.

The ads can actually have a gameplay effect, in a disturbingly clever move. After completing any stage, you are given the option to watch a short video ad; doing so doubles your end-of-stage rewards. Similarly, when opening a Daily Reward, you can watch an ad to double the reward. Like we already said, upon completeing a Space Bridge Mission, you can watch an ad to obtain an extra key. When choosing a partner for a stage, you will also get a prompt to watch an ad; doing so gives your partner a one-stage stat boost and ups the amount of time they can stay in-play. However, you can only watch so many ads within a set amount of time, so choose which bonuses you go for wisely. You can also watch an ad to repair a character instantly; there does not appear to be any limit to this. And of course, ads may pop up anyway unless a purchase is made.

Spending real monies allows you to buy large numbers of Gems, which are used to buy Accessories, speed up character upgrades and repairs, interrupt the Eggbot terraforming to make a stage playable sooner, and about a billion other small things all over the game. Gem packages range from 150 for $4.49 US to 5200 for '''''$99.99''''' which what the hell who even spends that much money on these things?! And considering that mere ''accessories'', can run up to 1000 crystals, with most of the "buddy character" ones in the 850 range? Yeesh. From time to time there will be "sales" which either cut the prices down a bit or give you more Gems in each package, but come on.

Depending on who you ask, according to many reviewers, if you had to do a wipe or ever lose your files for some reason, you can lose all your progress. People have gotten their characters leveled up to the max. Which costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins or thousands of gems (read: lots and lots of grinding or real monies) only for it to be all for naught. But now that's not much of a problem since you can cloud save your progress with the Game Center on IOS or a Facebook account on Android.

===Challenge Events===
Starting in late 2015, the game introduced Challenge Events, five-to-ten-day-long themed events with the lure of prizes including unique unlockable characters and Accessories. While sparse at first, by mid-2016 events were popping up ''really'' frequently. Now it's continuous scheduled event after event.
[[File:ABTF-screen ChallengeEvent.jpg|left|300px|thumb]]
Each day of an Event, the player is pit against 19 randomly-selected others at the same level (across the whole player base!) in a race to tally the most points within 24 hours by destroying as many of a specific object or enemy as possible in separate event stages. Entering a Challenge stage takes one "battery" of energy from the Challenge selection; the player starts with four, and spent batteries will recharge after an hour, one at a time. ''Of course'' you can spend Gems to speed up the process and instantly go back to four full batteries, but that cost increases every time: the first recharge costs 10 Gems, the next 20, then 40, 60, 80, then up to 100 for each recharge. Thankfully, that charge resets to the lowest amount each new day of the event.

In the earliest events, players could only take a single already-unlocked character and an [[Energonicon]] into the event with them. Eventually this changed, and depending on the event, you might be able to choose from your entire roster of unlocked characters, only certain members you've unlocked that match the event theme, or even "trial" characters you don't have yet who you can permanently unlock for the first time through the event you're playing there and now. Sometimes you can choose two characters and swap back and forth between the two (with a delay in recall time, of course). In some events, choosing characters from specific Teams and a specific Energonicon will add a percentage bonus to your final score, though given the potential dangers, one must take care to decide if the bonus is worth it if the bonus-giving characters aren't well-suited to taking out the target of choice for the day.

In 2017, the bonus scoring was changed to use "Sparks" won in Daily Challenges and awarded as Event prizes. By spending Sparks, you could "promote" a character, giving them an extra 5% bonus to your score per "rank" at the end of a run. Naturally, the higher the rank, the more Sparks you need. Selecting characters from the bonus Squad (which does not change for the duration of the event) gives them a multiplier to their Promotion bonuses, quadrupling the score.

Challenges are rewarded with Tokens, earned by reaching certain target milestones (milestones and prize amounts now vary from event to event), and according to your rank at the end of the 24-hour period (from 1000 to 100). These Tokens carry over from prior days' challenges up until the end of the promotion, and can be spent on prizes, including new characters, instant level-ups and accessories for select characters, Sparks, and Coins. Accessories are often less costly to obtain in Challenges than via normal Gem purchase. There is a 1-day token exchange period after each event ends, so some can spend the tokens they may have won from the final day's competition... and any ''new'' Tokens awarded through other means during the exchange period.

Originally, the milestones were consecutive 10 to 100. up to 550 tokens each day. Occasionally, mini-events give more token amounts than usual. But with the current token system, the maximum tokens possible per day are about 2000! But the final three milestones are ''impossible'' to reach without ''two'' highly-promoted characters of the same squad and/or hundreds and hundreds of gems!

Tokens are not currently able to be saved between different Challenge Events, but representatives from Rovio/[[Exient]] had raised it as a possibility, especially given how frequent the events have become. A year later, and they haven't done it, so pfffffft.

===Daily Quests===
[[File:ABTF-screen DailyQuest.jpg|thumb|300px]]
Starting in September 2016, the game added Daily Quests, which are like the normal Achievements, but on a much smaller scale. Every 24 hours (starting at midnight via the clock on the player's device), eight randomized Quests are opened up, each earning a small prize for completion.

Quests can range from simple stuff like visiting a certain area so many times, destroying enough Pigs or blocks, creating enough items at the Lab, etc, to more difficult feats like pulling off enough slow-mo [[Monolith]] dodges, entering Astrotrain while scrambled, or racking up enough damage while in fast-forward at the [[Piggy Island|Cobalt Plateaus]]. The prizes are similarly random, with Pig Points, Coins, Gems, Materials, and even Tokens (only during Challenge Events) available.

There is also a ninth Quest with a four-part prize, earned only by completing all eight other Quests within the 24 hours.

With the introduction of Sparks, many quests were dropped completely, and others made to appear less frequently. Currently, these Daily Quests are always in the mix:

* Visit the Pig lab and craft something
* Open 5 Crates
* Visit Shockwave's Spire
* Thank 3 buddies after events
* Collect 30 Energon cubes
* Pop 300 of any type of Pig

The final prize is always a generous 10 gems, 250 pigs, 15000 coins, and <s>500</s> 400 spark.

===Jenga stage===
Down at the beach, there's the Jenga stage, shaped like the large [[Hal|Grimlock Bird]] Jenga toy that you could buy in stores. This mini-game remains locked until you use an unlocking code found in any of the ''Angry Birds Transformers Jenga'' toys.

Once open, this stage is a fair bit different. First you pick a Driver and a Gunner from a fixed set of characters (unaffected by who you have unlocked or away on Missions or upgrading). The Driver then travels along a path, gathering free-floating Coins and smashing through block towers. There are holes in the path, so sometimes you need to hit the turbo button for a burst of speed to carry you over. The turbo boost will drain quickly, so overuse can leave you dry when the big jump comes up. The goal is to gather as many coins and clear out as many blocks as possible and make it to the end for a higher score. Falling into a pit doesn't end the level, it just ends the Driver's turn and makes the Gunner's turn that little bit more difficult.

The Gunner then runs through a different path further out, and their job is to clear out as many blocks from inside the giant Grimlock Bird frame with their firepower. Naturally, this is easier if the Driver has cleared out the block towers that stood between the Gunner path and the frame. The more blocks that are destroyed or at least knocked completely out of the frame, the higher your score.

So why do this? Your Jenga scores accumulate over the course of 24 hours, and reaching 300 points nets you a prize. Often this is just a sum of Coins, no big whoop. But it's worth checking back every day, because the prize changes every 24 hours, and sometimes it's a small cache of Gems. Spending five minutes to get 10 Gems isn't bad, given how stingy the game can be with giving away the premium currency. Also, what happens in Jenga mode counts towards your Daily Quests: every mile you walk or drive, every block you smash, and every time you finish the "event". It can be a very quick way to knock out a couple of Quests at no cost other than a few minutes' time.

{{note|Bumblebee seems to be the best choice for the Driver, while Bludgeon works best as the Gunner thanks to his wide multi-shot cannon, though characters with rapid-fire attacks can really clean up if they can equip explosive rounds (like Energon Starscream). The available characters in Jenga mode have changed over the course of the game, eliminating certain characters whose weapons are designed for easy mass block destruction.}}
{{-}}

===Sparkrun===
[[File:ABTFScreen-Sparkrun.jpg|thumb|250px]]
Introduced March 2017, the Sparkrun lets you earn Spark (Only Spark; you don't earn any pigs or coins in this mode) by destroying everything you can in a special extra-long stage that goes through five random areas, with transitions through caves. You select three characters, and should your first 'bot go down, the next one you selected takes his place. You can also use a random character specially power-boosted for the Sparkrun. Promoted characters can also be used to increase the final score, which you'll need as they may not be enough stuff to get all the Spark in the level alone. Earn enough spark and the next difficulty level will be unlocked, each level adding 10 additional Spark to the initial 100, and increasing the damage of offensive pigs.

Gold blocks give the most amount of spark points, so be sure to destroy all of them!

Watch out for pigs with special buffs, like those that deal painfully more damage, regenerate health, shielded pigs immune to small arms fire, fast pigs, and health buffed pigs!

The Sparkrun can be played once a day, but can be reactivated for 100 gems.

As of a June 2017 update, many improvements were made. All enemies and missiles now give points when before only ground pigs and blocks gave points. Spark scoring has been rebalanced, making it easier to earn the max amount of Spark in higher difficulties. A fourth character slot can be unlocked for 1000 gems. And more importantly, the game is much, much less likely to crash in the middle of a Sparkrun. However, as players continued to advance in the game and "max" out their team of four characters at full promotion (140% x4) they realized the maximum difficulty in Sparkrun ended at 160. It was not possible to advance beyond difficulty 160 and the maximum reward of 1690 Sparks were incredibly rare to obtain due to the limited number of points that could be scored (the 5 levels in a Sparkrun course + the interconnecting caverns were completely random).

In a February 2018 update, a fifth character slot was added and available to be unlocked (permanently) for 2500 gems. The difficult ceiling was again raised beyond the previous maximum (160) with increasing Spark rewards. In the same update, the maximum promotion of characters were also raised (increased from 140% to 175%) which made it possible to once again score enough points to obtain the max Sparks available in a single Sparkrun.

===Crates===
In a September 2017 update, Crates were introduced which give various prizes, which fall under five rarities. Steel Crates give common, uncommon, or rare prizes that can be claimed for free every 24 hours or purchased for 15000 coins each; ''finally'' something to spend the coins you've stockpiled in the millions on. Opening ten at a time gives a guaranteed Rare prize. Gold Crates can give rare, epic, or legendary prizes, and can be purchased for 200 Gems each. Opening ten at a time is 5% off and gives a guaranteed epic prize.

Some of the possible prizes by rartiy:
*Common: Coins, 1-star accessory, Pigs, Tokens (~30~), Gems (2-3), Materials
*Uncommon: Coins, Materials
*Rare: Coins(~14500~), Spark, Tokens, 2~3-star Accessory upgrade
*Epic: 3-star accessory, 3-star accessory upgrade, Gems (~200~)
*Legendary: Instant upgrade, new Bot

Speaking of accessories, this update revamps the accessory system; Gem costs are significantly reduced, although this means token costs of accessories in Challenge Events is double the gem cost. New accessories are introduced (and old accessories from waaay back in 2014 are re-introduced). Accessories have five ratings, and can be unlocked or upgraded from crates.
{{-}}

===Shockwave's Spire===
Thought opening Gold Crates was a gamble? Well this new feature introduced December 2017 is really a gamble! Shockwave's Spire is essentially the same as ''Angry Birds 2'''s Tower of Fortune. There are several floors that each have four cards from which you pick one and get various prizes. The higher you go, the better the prizes and higher the rarity, all the way to legendary prizes at floor 90! And a guaranteed accessory every 5 floors! You can exit anytime and claim the prizes in the stash. '''''But''''' if you pick a pig card, you will lose them all! Unless you pay gems to keep playing. The gem cost will naturally increase significantly each time you make a gambling blunder.

Once you exit, Shockwave's Spire will not be available to play again (not even gem skips!) until the next day.

Be careful not to form certain habits and throw in way too many gems (and money).

==Notes==
* [[FIRRIB|Frenzy is red, Rumble is blue.]]
* This is the second ''Angry Birds'' crossover game, the first being with the undisputed king of cross-promotion, ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''.
* This is also the second 3D ''Angry Birds'' title, with prior games using 2D graphics save the racing game ''Angry Birds Go!'' (which also got a [[Hasbro]] toyline).
* You can alter a device's time to make the upgrades, Missions and other timed aspects go faster, although if you go too far or revert to current time, you'll get an error message about "Time travel detected! Your characters have suffered" and you'll be slapped on the wrist by getting them downgraded in relation to how far away from real time you were. So maybe don't do that.

===References===
This game is loaded with tiny jokes and references to Transformers lore.

* The character designs pull from a broad mix of generations. While (obviously) [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] gets the most representation, there are also elements from the [[Live-action film series|live-action movies]], ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (franchise)|Rescue Bots]]'' and ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]''. Each character also has a number of wearable accessories, many of which are based on wider ''Transformers'' lore. (See individual character pages for the rundown on each.)
*The initial loading screen has numerous nods to more specific (and occasionally obscure) bits of Transformers lore:

* The music for the game was composed by [[Vince DiCola]] (with [[Kenny Meriedeth]]), who did the score for ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.
* Pig City events have [[:File:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|Soundwave lamposts]] and purple Cybertronian shuttles strewn all over the level that can be easily destroyed.
* The (removed) building for friend activity resembles [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]'s city mode. But it returned in a different location as the new Sparkrun mode.
* Most of the accesories to the charcters are based on different characters, items, and tools from different continuties.

[[File:CyberverseMegatron.jpg|thumb|300px|Don't tell him he doesn't have his back cannon, or he'll shoot the disambiguation bar!]]

'''Megatron''' is the tyrannical leader of the [[Decepticon]]s, being ruthless, cruel, and evil to the core. He was once friends with [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]], though exactly how boggles the mind. He plans to achieve total global domination, though his corrupt plans are often thwarted by the [[Autobot]]s. <ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/cyberverse Character bios] at the official ''Cyberverse'' website</ref>

[[File:Cyberverse Decepticon Plankowners (Cyberverse - Megatron Is My Hero).jpg|thumb|300px|"Imagine seven million people all wanting to die together."]]
Eons ago, Megatron was a [[Gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial champion]] on Cybertron, his charisma netting him a large following of admirers from all flocks of life. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Among his followers was [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]], a file clark who began to author Megatron's speeches to his following. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At a rally, Megatron dubbed his movement, the [[Decepticon]]s, and swore to create a new Cybertron that would bring equal rights to all citizens. As his power base grew however, Megatron's personality took a darker turn with Megatron eventually declaring open war on Optimus and his own followers. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

Among Megatron's early acts was the execution of the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]]. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} Once [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] had captured Optimus Prime, she intended to ship him to Megatron until [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] freed his leader. {{storylink|Shadowstriker}} When [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] attempted to defect from the Decepticons, Megatron followed him to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]] where he attempted to slay the traitor to serve as an example to others. Before he could however, [[Maccadam]] stormed into the room and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], the mere sight of it cowing Megatron into retreating. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

[[File:Mad Megs (Cyberverse - Maccadam's).jpg|thumb|left|300px|"No back there if you got a problem you tell Wally. And he tells everyone in town, brings it out in the open, no more problem."]]

Once the Decepticons had taken [[Vector Sigma]], Megatron sought to use the supercomputer to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of loyal Decepticons. When Bumblebee discovered this, he was brought before Megatron who sadistically tore out the scout's [[voice box]] to prevent him from reporting what he'd learned. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Despite Megatron's best efforts, the Autobots did manage to learn of his plan, managing to seize the AllSpark and send it through a [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}}

Megatron eventually tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]], and sent [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]]'s [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] squad there to retrieve it.

Catching wind of this intel, the Autobots on Cybertron sent [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to retrieve the artifact first only for her to come across the missing Bumblebee. Upon learning that her friend was suffering from amnesia, the [[cityspeaker]] attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to help him make sense of his memories. Among them was an undamaged memory of Megatron; however she was unable to access it before the patch malfunctioned and shut her out. {{storylink|Fractured}}

Once Windblade had begun making headway in fixing Bumblebee's mind, the scout began to remember Megatron in the earliest days of his revolution causing him to idealize the Decepticon leader as a hero. With Windblade's help however, he was able to remember the tyrant Megatron had become, being left to wonder how he could have ever considered the Decepticon someone to look up to. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

After Slipstream had consistently failed in her mission, [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] hacked into Bumblebee's cortical psychic patch and trapped the scout in a false memory that painted him as a Decepticon spy aboard the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']] who had sabotaged the ship at Megatron's direct order. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

Commercial/Revenge of the Fallen

2018-11-21T13:21:31Z

Sonicprime1963:

{{suite}}
{{Nav-rotf}}
Like its predecessor, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' featured a large multimedia ad campaign. ''Revenge of the Fallen'' didn't have quite as many theatrical trailers as ''Transformers'', not having movie and international exclusive trailers. However, it did surpass the 2007 film in TV advertising for the theatrical and IMAX releases with an extra four spots for a total of twenty-six. In addition to the theatrical trailers and TV ad spots, several preview segments were shown online. These segments were unique clips from the film, where as online advertising for ''Transformers'' consisted mostly of the trailers and early TV spots.

Also like the previous film, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' had a number of tie-in ads featuring returning brands like [[Burger King]] and new ones such as [[Kmart]] and [[M&M's]]. The tie-in video game was even more heavily advertised than the last with more than double the number of trailers. Advertising for the toy line was handled in a manner similar to the first film. Action figures were limited to an initial overview ad, and two later ones for the [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]] sub-line. In advertising for other play patterns, the [[Robot Powered Machines]] were highlighted with three ads.

''Revenge of the Fallen'''s home video release had a heavier push than its predecessor with seven television ads for both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. Additionally, a preview trailer was released online, demonstrating the Optimus Experience feature of the special edition releases. Even a radio ad was produced to advertise the home video releases, albeit a modified version of a TV spot soundtrack.

Commercial/Revenge of the Fallen

2018-11-21T05:42:43Z

Sonicprime1963: /* Theatrical trailers */

{{suite}}
{{Nav-rotf}}
Like its predecessor, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' featured a large multimedia ad campaign. ''Revenge of the Fallen'' didn't have quite as many theatrical trailers as ''Transformers'', not having movie and international exclusive trailers. However, it did surpass the 2007 film in TV advertising for the theatrical and IMAX releases with an extra four spots for a total of twenty-six. In addition to the theatrical trailers and TV ad spots, several preview segments were shown online. These segments were unique clips from the film, where as online advertising for ''Transformers'' consisted mostly of the trailers and early TV spots.

Also like the previous film, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' had a number of tie-in ads featuring returning brands like [[Burger King]] and new ones such as [[Kmart]] and [[M&M's]]. The tie-in video game was even more heavily advertised than the last with more than double the number of trailers. Advertising for the toy line was handled in a manner similar to the first film. Action figures were limited to an initial overview ad, and two later ones for the [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]] sub-line. In advertising for other play patterns, the [[Robot Powered Machines]] were highlighted with three ads.

''Revenge of the Fallen'''s home video release had a heavier push than its predecessor with seven television ads for both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. Additionally, a preview trailer was released online, demonstrating the Optimus Experience feature of the special edition releases. Even a radio ad was produced to advertise the home video releases, albeit a modified version of a TV spot soundtrack.

Kevin tries to guilt the lad by pointing out his grandmother's comparative lack of alternatives for entertainment as a child. While the ad is mainly pimping the PS3's Blu-ray playing capabiltity, the capability is shown off in the background of both Luke's house and the Sony offices by the playing of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' on Blu-ray. Halfway through, a text blurb at the bottom of the screen mentions ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and ''Star Trek'' being available on Blu-ray from [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount Home Entertainment]].

Like its predecessor, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' featured a large multimedia ad campaign. ''Revenge of the Fallen'' didn't have quite as many theatrical trailers as ''Transformers'', not having movie and international exclusive trailers. However, it did surpass the 2007 film in TV advertising for the theatrical and IMAX releases with an extra four spots for a total of twenty-six. In addition to the theatrical trailers and TV ad spots, several preview segments were shown online. These segments were unique clips from the film, where as online advertising for ''Transformers'' consisted mostly of the trailers and early TV spots.

Also like the previous film, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' had a number of tie-in ads featuring returning brands like [[Burger King]] and new ones such as [[Kmart]] and [[M&M's]]. The tie-in video game was even more heavily advertised than the last with more than double the number of trailers. Advertising for the toy line was handled in a manner similar to the first film. Action figures were limited to an initial overview ad, and two later ones for the [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]] sub-line. In advertising for other play patterns, the [[Robot Powered Machines]] were highlighted with three ads.

''Revenge of the Fallen'''s home video release had a heavier push than its predecessor with seven television ads for both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. Additionally, a preview trailer was released online, demonstrating the Optimus Experience feature of the special edition releases. Even a radio ad was produced to advertise the home video releases, albeit a modified version of a TV spot soundtrack.

The King bangs on the roof of the truck, causing the rear doors to open and a handful of bills to fly out. Colt (dejectedly): "That's not a million dollars." The King gestures as if to say "I've got it" and then lifts up the front end of the truck dumping out the rest of the million dollars plus a security guard. "Whoa, you won a security guard too."

Kevin tries to guilt the lad by pointing out his grandmother's comparative lack of alternatives for entertainment as a child. While the ad is mainly pimping the PS3's Blu-ray playing capabiltity, the capability is shown off in the background of both Luke's house and the Sony offices by the playing of ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' on Blu-ray. Halfway through, a text blurb at the bottom of the screen mentions ''Revenge of the Fallen'' and ''Star Trek'' being available on Blu-ray from [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount Home Entertainment]].

: ''Toy segment:'' A large blue semi truck with red flames zooms past a boy standing outside of Dinosaur Dig Park. The kid gasps "Optimus Prime?" then takes off after the semi truck. He sees the truck come to a stop on the other side of what appears to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton dig. Rather than continue his pursuit, the boy decides to stop at some tents to transform Flip & Change [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]]. As he's doing this, the skeleton "comes to life" revealing that it is in fact Grimlock himself. The boy stares in amazement as Grimlock rears back and roars. This prompts [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to transform, mount Grimlock, and yell "Roll out!". The boy is so grateful, he transforms 1-Step Optimus too. Grimlock then roars in the boy's face.
: ''Notes:'' Optimus's "Roll out!" is voiced by his normal voice actor [[Peter Cullen]]. Given the size of Grimlock in relation to the boy when they are face to face, and the size of Prime in relation to Grimlock, Prime ends up hilariously appearing to be roughly the size of a very tall adult [[human]].

Commercial/Revenge of the Fallen

{{Nav-rotf}}
Like its predecessor, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' featured a large multimedia ad campaign. ''Revenge of the Fallen'' didn't have quite as many theatrical trailers as ''Transformers'', not having movie and international exclusive trailers. However, it did surpass the 2007 film in TV advertising for the theatrical and IMAX releases with an extra four spots for a total of twenty-six. In addition to the theatrical trailers and TV ad spots, several preview segments were shown online. These segments were unique clips from the film, where as online advertising for ''Transformers'' consisted mostly of the trailers and early TV spots.

Also like the previous film, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' had a number of tie-in ads featuring returning brands like [[Burger King]] and new ones such as [[Kmart]] and [[M&M's]]. The tie-in video game was even more heavily advertised than the last with more than double the number of trailers. Advertising for the toy line was handled in a manner similar to the first film. Action figures were limited to an initial overview ad, and two later ones for the [[N.E.S.T. Global Alliance]] sub-line. In advertising for other play patterns, the [[Robot Powered Machines]] were highlighted with three ads.

''Revenge of the Fallen'''s home video release had a heavier push than its predecessor with seven television ads for both the DVD and Blu-ray versions. Additionally, a preview trailer was released online, demonstrating the Optimus Experience feature of the special edition releases. Even a radio ad was produced to advertise the home video releases, albeit a modified version of a TV spot soundtrack.

(To the King) This counts as your break, you know that right?". The King hangs his head. ''Let the King transform '''your''' life.''

**'''Commercial #4''' [http://www.metacafe.com/watch/3158901/burger_king_transformer_2009_commercial/] Two guys sit outside of a Burger King restaurant, on the tailgate of a pick-up truck. Colt scratches off his game piece, revealing a grand prize winner. Inside, the King transforms from broiler to robot and inadvertently scares a nearby worker. Back outside, Colt reveals to his buddy that he's just won a million bucks. "Sure you did Colt." The King busts through the restaurant wall and steps in front of an armored truck, forcing it to stop. The King bangs on the roof of the truck, causing the rear doors to open and a handful of bills to fly out. Colt (dejectedly): "That's not a million dollars." The King gestures as if to say "I've got it" and then lifts up the front end of the truck dumping out the rest of the million dollars plus a security guard. "Whoa, you won a security guard too." ''Let the King change your life. Play "Transform Your Way" '''now''' for a chance to win a million bucks.''

A man walking with his new phone finds Optimus Prime with his sensors and logic circuits clearly damaged. Or so it would seem, as Prime repeatedly deems the phone/camcorder/gps/laptop a Decepticon. The man chuckles at Optimus' misguided fixation only to have an actual Decepticon crouch down behind him for an attack. Naturally, this causes the man to flee.

:''Blaster is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:SDCCBlasterBoxArt.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"What it is, big mama? My mama ain't raise no dummies, I dug her rap!"]]

'''Blaster''' loves all Earth music, especially good, hard, LOUD rock 'n' roll. He can be found at the forefront of any situation in which he's involved, be it getting down and truly hopping to town, or kicking butt and taking names—both of which he does well, and both of which have led him into conflict with authority at times. Blaster marches to his own beat, whether it's a pounding bassline or pounding Decepticon skulls, and he's not shy when it comes to sharing his feelings about either! He maintains a shared enmity with his Decepticon counterpart [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], with whom he shares his powers over all forms of sound, and is often backed up by a team of his own [[Autobot Mini-Cassette]]s to match Soundwave's mini-minions on the battlefield.

{{note|Blaster's personality varied significantly across different media; see entries below for details.}}

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
{{main|Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
[[File:AutoBop blaster speakers.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Beware my tweeters of doom!!]]
Blaster was a fun-loving, hip and happening robot. Loud and energetic, he was quick to immerse himself in Earth culture, and was happy to share his choice of rockin' tunes with anyone, whether they really wanted to hear them or not—a trait that got him in trouble as often as it saved him and his Autobot allies. Developing a rivalry with his Decepticon opposite number, [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]], Blaster gained a cassette army of his own so he could fight Soundwave on equal footing, and he and little buddies were instrumental in ensuring reinforcements arrived in time to save [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] when it was besieged in [[2005]]. Following this, Blaster was assigned command of the city, where his jive-talking jingles and jams saw the Autobots through crises like the attack of [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. Blaster's duties also took him to a variety of battlefields that were stranger than many other Transformers would experience, including millions of years into the past, into another dimension ruled by magic, and—a particular favorite of his—the musical planet of [[Eurythma]].

In some timelines which spin off from this one, Blaster joined the [[Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program]] under the new name '''Broadblast''' (ブロードブラスト ''Burōdoburasuto''), and after perishing in a one-on-one battle with Soundwave, was reconstructed by the super-science of the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]] as '''Twincast''' (ツインキャスト ''Tsuinkyasuto'').

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
[[File:BlasterUS17.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|More than likely, he'll kill you. Yeah, you. You know who you are.]]
Blaster was a rather grim, brooding, rebellious loner who hated Decepticons with a passion, whose reputation as one of the best fighters the [[Autobot]]s had was blemished by his vocal problems with authority figures. Part of [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s [[Cybertron Seven|Autobot resistance cell]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he often disagreed with his superior's orders, especially after his friend [[Scrounge (G1)|Scrounge]] failed to make a rendezvous with him in the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]], and Blaster wanted to hunt for him. Although his fellow freedom fighters rallied behind him at first, the discovery that Scrounge had been taken to the Decepticon stronghold in [[Polyhex]] changed their minds, and Blaster went in alone. Captured by the forces of [[Straxus (G1)|Lord Straxus]], Blaster was sentenced to the [[smelting pool]], where he discovered the half-melted Scrounge, who clung to life just long enough to pass on to Blaster the data he had obtained, so that this death would not be in vain. Blaster was then saved from the pit by his comrades, and he claimed revenge for Scrounge by ripping out the pipes that fed the pool and blasting their Decepticon pursuers with molten slag.

[[File:MarvelUS18 blaster cyb altmode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|And you thought the 1980s cellphones were huge.]]
Scrounge's information brought new hope to the Autobot resistance, as it revealed that [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and the Autobots on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] were still alive and well after four million years, fighting on a planet called Earth. {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} The Decepticons set about building a [[space bridge]] to this planet, and Blaster spied on the tests in his [[alternate mode]], gathering the information they needed to launch an attack. Blaster personally battled Straxus on the bridge, tricking the Decepticon leader into damaging the portal before kicking him through it and apparently destroying him. Blaster and the rest of his Autobot allies were trapped on the Earth side of the bridge as it faded out. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}} {{storylink|...The Harder They Die!}} Though [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and his troops spotted the Autobots upon their materialization on Earth, the Decepticons were distracted by a more pressing mission at the time, and left without attacking the new arrivals. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

Blaster and his men were attacked by the government anti-robot task force [[Rapid Anti-robot Assault Team|RAAT]] and its super-powered agent [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]] almost immediately upon arrival; unfamiliar with Earth customs, Blaster's group first tried to communicate with RAAT's vehicles, leaving the humans an opening to blindside the Autobots with "electric snow" missiles. Circuit Breaker then delivered a powerful electric blast, short-circuiting the group. {{storylink|Heavy Traffic!}} Blaster and the others were disassembled, with their heads getting mounted on the wall of RAAT's headquarters. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}} To deal with the threat of the [[Battlecharger]]s, Blaster and the Autobots agreed to allow Circuit Breaker to jury-rig their bodies together into a giant exo-suit she would use to take the two Decepticons down, in exchange for their being rebuilt and released. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

[[File:FallenAngel blaster sonics galvatron.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|Yeah, that's real good, Blaster, you keep doing that.]]
''Blaster's team followed their fellow RAAT captive [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] back to the Ark, but along the way, their guide vanished, displaced to [[Limbo]] by the appearance of the future Decepticon, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. Unwisely deciding to engage the Decepticon, Blaster tried hitting him with a blast of sonics, which sundered Galvatron's tenuous hold on sanity and only made him even more dangerous. Fortunately, the arrival of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] saved him, and he decided to try the tactic again while Galvatron was distracted. It ''almost'' worked this time, but Galvatron hurled a discarded [[sword]] in Blaster's direction, and he was only rescued from impalement by [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Swoop]]. Blaster was soon knocked unconscious, and didn't witness Galvatron being driven off by the present-day Decepticons.'' {{storylink|Fallen Angel}} ''Blaster's team continued on their way to the Ark, and arrived just as the Autobots were preparing to hold a funeral for Optimus Prime. Blaster quietly questioned their decision to bury Prime rather than fire his body into space, but it proved a moot point when the Autobot leader turned out to not actually be dead, returning in the midst of the ceremony.'' {{storylink|Resurrection!}}

[[File:JoeandTF4 blaster omega and the rest.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb|Turn down that blasted music! THIS I COMMAND!!!]]
When Optimus Prime died for real soon after, Blaster got on the comm to pass the grim news on to [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], ordering him to break off his present engagement with the anti-terrorist team [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and return to the Ark. {{storylink|Power Struggle}} After watching as [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] tried and failed to rebuild the Autobot leader, Blaster attended Prime's funeral, where his body was sent into space on a funeral bier. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} Blaster gave a speech to mark Prime's passing, {{storylink|Ashes, Ashes...}} then returned to the Ark with the Autobots, only to be attacked by the ship's own defense systems, co-opted by the human criminal, the [[Mechanic (G1)|Mechanic]]. Perceptor had to stop Blaster from damaging the ship until the situation could be brought under control. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend!}} No sooner had ''that'' been dealt with than Blaster detected a fleet of human aircraft heading for the Ark, which the Autobots proceeded to intercept on the assumption of hostile intent. After a brief battle, the human revealed themselves to agents of [[Cobra]], who requested the Autobots' help in stopping the Decepticons from destroying the planet using [[Power Station Alpha]]. {{storylink|Ashes, Ashes...}} Suspecting the highly advanced Alpha could potentially be a sentient technological lifeform, Blaster opposed destroying it outright, and remained at the Ark to co-ordinate a combined Autobot/G.I. Joe/Cobra attack on the Decepticons to free Alpha from their control. The Joes and Cobra surreptitiously had Alpha destroyed to remove its threat, infuriating Blaster and leading him to wonder if ''any'' humans could be trusted. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

[[File:MarvelUS28 blaster cops.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Blaster's about to lay down some sick beats!]]
Turning to the matter of finding a new leader of the Autobots, Blaster and several other high-ranking Autobots were in the process of a holding a vote when the massive Decepticon battle station Trypticon attacked, and Blaster was shot down when he attempted to rush the giant. Dinobot leader [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] proceeded to secure victory over Trypticon, convincing Blaster and the other Autobots to appoint him the Autobots' new commander. {{storylink|King of the Hill!}} Unfortunately, Grimlock soon gave Blaster cause to regret his decision with increasingly hostile leadership methods and a callous disregard for human safety. Paired with [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]], whose more naturally upbeat personality provided the Boy Wonder to his [[Batman]], Blaster was charged with locating the Mechanic, but disobeyed orders and entered into alliance with some local human law enforcement to prevent the officers from being killed by the advanced Cybertronian weapons the criminal had stolen from the Ark. Playing the fool, Detective [[Greco]] carried Blaster into the Mechanic's hideout in tape-deck mode, where the Autobot used his electro scrambler to disable all the villain's weapons. Alas, the Mechanic escaped, and, realizing that Grimlock would not tolerate the news of their failure and their human alliances, Blaster and Goldbug elected to go AWOL. {{storylink|Mechanical Difficulties!}}

[[File:MarvelUS30 blaster and goldbug.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|"MY PARTNERS ARE DEEEEAD!"]]
Rather than lay low, Blaster and Goldbug decided to take their fight to the Decepticons, and quickly tracked down the Autobots' human ally [[G.B. Blackrock]] in hope that he could provide them with both fuel and some hot tips on current 'Con activity. Following Blackrock's info, the two Autobots found a crashed Decepticon ship, and befriended the scientist [[Charlie Fong]] in order to bypass the military blocked surrounding it. Upon approaching the crash-site, they ran afoul of the Decepticon [[Triple Changer]]s. As Blaster took on all three of the villains at once, he discovered they were ravaged with [[Scraplet]]s, which soon infected him as well. Goldbug withdrew to seek a cure, but Blaster believed he had left him to die and swore vengeance against the little 'bot. {{storylink|Crater Critters}} Hooking up with the [[Throttlebot]]s and human scientist [[Charlie Fong]], Goldbug discovered that water could destroy the Scraplets, and surprised Blaster by returning to save him. Blaster refused to allow himself to be cured if it meant that the Decepticons would live as well, but when the Scraplets merged into a giant, Goldbug had no choice, and sprayed them all. A cured but furious Blaster smashed the water tank over the Scraplet-monster, killing it, then calmed down enough to apologize to Goldbug for doubting him. {{storylink|The Cure!}}

''Taking some time out of their life on the road to watch human television, Blaster, Goldbug and the Throttlebots happened upon a news report about the discovery of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] and Galvatron, entombed in lava within the volcano, [[Mount Verona]]. Discovering that Soundwave and the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] were going to blow up the mountain to destroy them both, Blaster used his sonic powers to block Soundwave's detonation signal, preventing the bombs the Combaticons placed from going off.'' {{storylink|Ladies' Night (issue)|Ladies' Night}} Once they had evaded the pursuing Combaticons, Blaster and company found themselves in a scuffle with RAAT in [[California]], and hid out in [[Big Steve Ludwig (G1)|Big Steve Ludwig]]'s used car lot. Unfortunately, their battle made the evening news and finally alerted Grimlock to their AWOL status, prompting him to brand them traitors and send the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] to hunt them down. The car lot quickly turned into a three-way battleground between the Combaticons, Protectobots and RAAT, and despite Blaster's help in the battle, the Protectobots surrounded and apprehended him at the fight's end. {{storylink|Used Autobots}}

[[File:Blasterbeourleaderplease.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|"BLASTER, BE OUR LEADER, PLEAAAASE???"]]
Trapped in tape deck mode by a [[mode lock]], Blaster was helpless to aid the Protectobots when the Combaticons returned. Groove sped off and stashed Blaster away in a drainage pipe for retrieval after the battle's end, where he latter was found by four [[Spacehikers|human children]]. It took some convincing, but Blaster eventually talked the younglings to remove his mode lock. Despite once more being able to transform, Blaster was still no match for [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], who had managed to fell Defensor in the meantime. Blaster was forced to rely on the children to put on a good show, and "proved" he was no longer loyal to the Autobots by making the Decepticon believe he shot one of them dead. The dimwitted colossus fooled, Blaster circled around him and collapsed an electrical tower onto Bruticus, knocking him offline. Realizing that Blaster was far nobler than Grimlock, [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] allowed him to go free upon his recovery. In turn, Blaster rewarded the children for their help by taking them on a trip into space aboard the mode-locked [[Blast Off (G1)|Blast Off]]. Unfortunately, they were accosted in mid-flight by the now-airborne Ark. {{storylink|Child's Play (issue)|Child's Play}} The humans tossed Blaster out an airlock so he could avoid capture by Grimlock's forces. While Grimlock was occupied trying to stop [[Wheeljack (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Wheeljack]] and [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]] from interfering in his attempted execution of the kids, Blaster rode a telecommunications satellite back to the Ark, where he his fellow Autobots, all sick of Grimlock's leadership, begged him to take over as leader. However, he was forced to surrender to his former commander in order to secure the kids' safety. {{storylink|Spacehikers!}}

[[File:MarvelUS41 blaster vs grimlock.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
Imprisoned by Grimlock, Blaster was strapped to a [[variable voltage harness]] for some time as punishment for his desertion and disobedience. When [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Fortress Maximus]] and his Autobots arrived and Grimlock challenged him to a duel, Goldbug talked Blaster into taking the injured Fortress Maximus's place to get even with Grimlock once and for all. They proceeded to battle on the surface of Earth's [[moon (moon)|moon]], but their duel was interrupted by a Decepticon attack, and Blaster pointed out that their feud had put all Autobots in danger. Grimlock agreed to call their duel a draw and declared a truce with Blaster as they fended off the Decepticons side by side. {{storylink|Totaled!}}

[[File:ClubCon-ptoo.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.9]]
With Optimus Prime's subsequent return both to life and to command of the Autobots, the faction's in-fighting issues ceased and more important matters could be dealt with—namely, rescuing their human ally [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]] from the Decepticons' baffling new [[Club Con|desert island resort]]. Tasked with investigating, Blaster was loaded into a capsule in tape deck mode and dropped from the orbiting Ark into the Witwicky family garden, where he asked Buster's girlfriend [[Jesse (G1)|Jesse]] to sneak him into "Club Con". The pair were able to steal a pair of captive Autobot cassettes—[[Grand Slam (G1)|Grand Slam]] and [[Raindance]]—from the Decepticons, but this aroused the ire of the [[Seacon (G1)|Seacons]], and Blaster, unable to battle them effectively due to the human holidaymakers occupying the island, was forced to ditch the tapes in the ocean to break off the fight. Although forced to withdraw without Buster, Blaster and Jessie ''had'' learned something important: the tapes held data on a mysterious Cybertronian object heading for Earth. {{storylink|Club Con!}} ''The eruption of the "Time Wars" briefly tabled this mystery, but Blaster had no real role in that conflict, as he, Optimus Prime, and several other Autobots were temporarily displaced into Limbo to make room for a team of Autobots arriving from the future.'' {{storylink|Time Wars}}

[[File:MarvelUS50 blaster dies.jpg|upright=1.6|thumb]]
A search of the waters where "Club Con" used to be proved fruitless, as the Decepticons quickly moved on after Blaster's incursion. Blaster berated himself for his "incompetence," which allowed the Decepticons to slip beyond their reach once more, though Optimus assured him they would track down their enemies in due course. {{storylink|Cold War!}} Soon after, the Autobots were drawn to the Arctic, where a Decepticon ambush awaited them. The warring factions struck a temporary truce when they learned that [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] had orchestrated the confrontation in order to distract everyone else from his own goals. The approaching object Blaster had learned about earlier, revealed to be the Cybertronian database known as the [[Underbase]], would endow Starscream with godlike powers were he to absorb all of its cosmic energies. Though the Autobot/Decepticon alliance interrupted Starscream's absorption of the Underbase's power, the portion he did manage to take into himself was enough to grant him near-invincibility. Blaster joined [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]] in co-ordinating a battalion of Autobots and Decepticons in defense of [[New York City]] against Starscream's worldwide rampage, and was the last to fall, shot dead atop the Brooklyn Bridge, like all those who attempted to stand against the cosmically-powered villain. {{storylink|Dark Star}}

[[File:Marvel77-Blaster.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|left|He used to be badass, now he's just a poor man's Perceptor...]]
Blaster's body was put into storage on the Ark, defying all of Ratchet's attempts to repair it, {{storylink|The Man in the Machine!}} {{storylink|Guess Who the Mecannibals Are Having for Dinner?}} to the extent that the medic started to have nightmares about him and various other deactivated Autobots reviving as [[zombie]]s to kill him for his failures. Ratchet's nightmares came true for a short while, when the Decepticon [[Sports Car Patrol]] managed to infiltrate the Ark and took control of the damaged Autobots' bodies to torment him. When this failed to make Ratchet snap completely, the Decepticons' plan was abandoned and Blaster was shut down once more. {{storylink|Back from the Dead}}

A few years later, Grimlock succeeded where Ratchet had failed by using the miracle fuel [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] to revive the damaged Autobots, with Blaster being one of the first back on his feet. Arriving on Cybertron in the nick of time aboard the Ark, Blaster took part in and survived the battle with [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} In the aftermath, [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]] had Blaster run a check on the strange seismic activity Cybertron was suffering from, {{storylink|Still Life!}} with disastrous results: It turned out Cybertron was tearing itself apart without the binding life-force of [[Primus]] to sustain it. A meeting was called, with Blaster sharing the news to all present. {{storylink|Exodus!}}

[[File:EndOfTheRoad-finalfive.jpg|thumb|Guess how many of these guys had Action Master toys on the shelves when this came out.]]
The Decepticons fled Cybertron, leaving the Autobots to die with their homeworld. Blaster found Prowl wandering about outside, and cautioned his fellow Autobot to take shelter, as Cybertron's gradual self-destruction made the outdoors dangerous. His warning was met with laughter; Prowl had given up on living altogether, seeing no escape from the planet's death-throes. The pair were then surprised by Grimlock, who had foreseen the Decepticons' treachery and secured alternate transportation! {{storylink|A Savage Circle}} The Autobots followed the Decepticons to the planet [[Klo]], only to be caught in an ambush upon arrival. Only five stragglers managed to escape this surprise attack: Blaster, Grimlock, Kup, Slag, and Prowl. Despite their best attempts to lose their pursuers, the Autobots found themselves hounded by a hunting party. Blaster took a blast in the shoulder from [[Quake (G1)|Quake]], but persevered nonetheless. His group miraculously defeated the hunting party, and doubled back for a final stand against Bludgeon's forces. Upon arrival, they found a resurrected Optimus Prime already turning the tide of battle thanks to a new ally, the [[Last Autobot]]. Blaster was last seen shooting the head off [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]] as the Decepticons were driven off into exile. [[Krunk|Uh oh.]] {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

In an alternate version of [[2006]], Blaster went with a group of Autobots to [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]] to investigate strange happenings there. When they arrived, they discovered a chaotic scene where aliens from many worlds, including the Decepticons, were all engaged in a deadly battle with one another. Blaster detected a signal he suspected was hypnotizing all the combatants into this aggressive behavior. He and Ultra Magnus came up with a plan where [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] would fly Blaster into the air, while Blaster would broadcast soothing music. The plan succeeded in calming all those affected by the signal. {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
[[File:SpacePirates blaster strung up.jpg|thumb|left|Help! He's touching my special area!]]
In the future of [[2008]], Blaster was present at Autobot City when the [[Quintesson]] [[Trident Attack Craft|Trident]] ships attacked. He attempted to transform Autobot City himself, but was stopped cold by General [[Ghyrik]]. He was deactivated in the battle that followed and his body strung up on the outer parapets as a warning to any Autobots who came to liberate the city. Although Blaster was inactive, his cassettes were not, and this fact gave [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] an edge when they began battling their way through the Quintesson occupants. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

Blaster was seen briefly in [[2009]] at the start of the Time Wars, but did not end up joining Rodimus Prime on his mission into the past (see above). {{storylink|Time Wars}} After Galvatron was destroyed back in [[1989]] and the time line rebooted itself, Blaster was still among the Autobots stationed at Autobot City. He responded to [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]]'s emergency signal when the Autobots crash landed on Earth after a crazed Rodimus Prime turned against them. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}} Upon his arrival however, Kup urged the other Autobots to hold their fire; he had deduced that it was Unicron acting through Rodimus, as the dark god had been imprisoned within the Matrix at a pervious date. Blaster and the other reinforcements stood back as Kup managed to rip the sacred talisman out of Rodimus's chest, severing Unicron's connection to him. {{storylink|White Fire}}

The relaxed and jovial Blaster of "yet another alternate future" was turned into an [[Action Master]] and somehow arrived on 1990's Earth, where he took a job answering letters for Marvel UK. {{storylink|Rhythms_of_Darkness!|#300's Darn 'n' Blast}} He had to recuperate in an acclimatisation unit as a result and a nameless human at the Marvel offices took it upon themselves to answer a letter about being an Action Master, copying [[Nucleon#Toy packaging blurb|the back of a toy box]] and claiming that was the origin of [[nucleon]]. Don't trust it, kids! The ''real'' answer comes from an upcoming story, kids! {{storylink|The Human Factor!|#303's Darn 'n' Blast}}{{storylink|Rhythms_of_Darkness!|#300's Darn 'n' Blast}}

When Dreadwind refused to accept he'd been replaced as letters host and barricaded his office, Blaster, new host of ''Darn 'n' Blast'', took up a temporary office next door. Dreadwind kept banging on the wall to distract him. {{storylink|Rhythms_of_Darkness!|#300's Transformation}} The kids of 1990 Britain duly wrote to Blaster with rap and cool lingo, dude. {{storylink|Rhythms_of_Darkness!|#300's Darn 'n' Blast}}

Unlike Grimlock, he felt guilty about using the [[variable voltage harness]] to punish Marvel UK staff for bad work. Following a suggestion by a sadistic fan, he instead began tormenting people with hours of {{w|The Church (band)|''The Church}} and {{w|Cliff Richard}}. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm|#308 Darn 'n' Blast It}}

During Blaster's run we learned he had a brother named [[Toaster]]{{storylink|The Pri¢e of Life!|#310's letters page}} and a sister called [[Karmen]] {{storylink|Out of Time!|#316's letters page}}, and about sports like the [[Iacon 5000]] and [[Mecha-soccer|Cybertron's football divisions]] (Primus League and Premier League).

Sometime around [[2007]], Blaster was amongst those Transformers suffering ill effects from the infusion of [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] into their systems. It had apparently made him hyper-sensitive to noise and he was kept at the [[Nursery]]. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}} He, along with [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], and [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] were eventually given new Nucleon-free bodies at the [[Garage]]. Going against [[Prowl (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Prowl]]'s orders that they should not get involved in the growing conflict with [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]]'s Neo-Decepticons, Blaster began monitoring the old Decepticon comm-line subfrequencies and discovered that Soundwave was indeed responsible for keeping Cybertron's population aggressive through an irritant subsonic signal. Alerted to Blaster's hacking, Soundwave dispatched [[Carnivac (G1)|Carnivac]], [[Snarler]], and [[Roadblock (G1)|Roadblock]]—the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]]—to eliminate him, but the four former Nucleon patients used some quick thinking to subdue the Decepticons and report the signal to Autobot command. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Two}}

[[File:Blaster soundwave destiny.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8|''Only one will survive. Beatle-based pop vs. New Romantic, History will decide.'']]
As the Decepticon invasion/uprising under Soundwave and Bludgeon began, Blaster tracked down Soundwave on the battlefield for a "battle of the bands". {{storylink|Destiny, Part Four}} Soundwave attempted to defeat Blaster with finesse, using a variety of sonic tricks and frequencies to disorient his Autobot counterpart. To win, Blaster abandoned skill for brute force, and unleashed a sonic onslaught that overwhelmed Soundwave and brought him to his end. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

Blaster reintegrated into the Autobot forces, joining the bridge crew of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Rodimus Prime]]'s command vessel ''[[Priam]]'' during the attack on the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]. Unfortunately, the superior numbers and firepower of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] and his Cybertronians forced the Autobots to surrender. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 3}} They escaped captivity thanks to the ever-insubordinate [[Wrecker]]s staging their own attack on the Hub, and Blaster joined the crew as they made their way back to Cybertron to face an even greater menace. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 4}} The [[Dark Matrix (G1)|Anti-Matrix]] had consumed the population of Cybertron, transforming them into [[shadow-leech]]es. Blaster and the remaining Autobots forces secured the [[space bridge]] network to Earth and [[Nebulos]] while Rodimus Prime confronted the creature in [[Zero Space]], bringing an end to its machinations. On Nebulos, Blaster joined [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s troops in finishing off [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]] once and for all. With their link to the [[multiverse]] and [[Primus]] himself permanently cut off, Blaster and the other remaining Transformers abandoned Cybertron, eventually growing old and dying. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

Blaster received a message from Decepticon headquarters and conveyed it to Optimus Prime; the Decepticons had taken [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] hostage, and were demanding the Autobots' surrender. The Autobots sent out a party to rescue their captured comrade, but the attempt failed.

===Attack of the Insecticons===
{{notemultipath}}
[[File:AttackoftheInsecticonsBustercockpit.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Blaster was witness to Ironhide testing the Sun-Pak, a device of Sparkplug's invention that would solve the Autbot's energy problems. When the Decepticons discovered of the device's existence, many possible adventures ensued. Most notably, after a failed attempt on Optimus's part to eliminate Starscream, who was leading the Decepticon's raid, Sparkplug is kidnapped by the Decepticons and Blaster is entrusted alongside Bumblebee and Buster with Sparkplug's rescue, while the rest of the Autobots are forced back to base in order to recharge. The trio is instructed to contact Autobot headquarters as soon as they come to know the Decepticons' location. Blaster was the one who managed to track down Starscream and Sparkplug, using his abilities to detect one of Starscream's transmissions. Blaster traces the transmission to a museum in the suburbs, and he and Buster sneak into the building while Blaster is camouflaged in tape-player mode. Hiding in one of the museum's planes until after-hours, at which point Starscream and Bombshell reveal they will use a Cerebro-shell to make Sparkplug compliant to their wills, Blaster and Buster debate whether to contact Megatron, and offer a recording made by Blaster earlier proving that Starscream is a Decepticon traitor in exchange for Sparkplug's release, or to fetch Bumblebee and take on the Decepticons personally.

If it is decided to try and parlay with Megatron, omitting any mention of the Sun-Pak in their story, Megatron appears attentive at first, but demands that the Autobots fulfill their half of the trade before he takes action. If Blaster and Buster accept, Megatron arrives at the museum, and forces Starscream back to Decepticon base to be reprogrammed after releasing Sparkplug. If they insist to have Megatron release Sparkplug from Decepticon custody first, Blaster and Buster are powerless to stop Sparkplug from becoming a mind-controlled slave.

If Blaster and Buster decide to fetch Bumblebee, the trio quickly formulate a plan to rescue Sparkplug. Using his Electro-Scramblers at a key moment, Blaster causes Starscream to be the recipient of the Cerebro-Shell instead of Sparkplug, and then convinces the now easily influenced Decepticon to release Sparkplug and hold back Bombshell while Sparkplug, Buster, Blaster and Bumblebee happily ride back to Autobot headquarters.

Around 6.5 million years ago, Blaster was one of the high-ranking Autobots who helped Ultra Magnus reunify their fractured faction at the end of the [[Dark Ages]], suggesting that he may have been in charge of one of the various splinter groups that formed during those troubled times. Over the next half-a-million years, the reunited Autobots worked to usher in a new Golden Age, and were finally poised to sign a peace treaty with the Decepticons and [[Ultracon]]s until the long-missing Megatron returned to Cybertron, launching an attack in the middle of the treaty ceremony with his new [[Air Warrior|Aerospace Extermination Squadron]]. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath}} With this new army, Megatron ushered in an [[Age of Internment]], capturing nearly the entire Autobot army and putting them to work as slaves, extracting the very core of Cybertron itself. Blaster managed to evade capture, however, and together with Perceptor, assembled a small rebel cell hiding out in the subterranean chambers of [[Iacon Command]]. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2}}

Seeking to capture one of Megatron's drones in order to learn more about Megatron's new [[Cloning|clone technology]], Blaster oversaw his unit on the mission from a distance, using his abilities to jam any emergency transmissions while [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] and several other Autobots engaged the drone in battle long enough to attach an inhibitor claw, immobilizing it. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.3}}

{{Unreleased WW comic}}

Blaster and his team used an ancient map of Cybertron's depths to infiltrate Megatron's slave camp, only for them to be discovered by Megatron himself. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.4}} Blaster battled Megatron one-on-one, managing to use his sonic powers to briefly gain the upper hand, before losing a leg to the Decepticon leader. The sudden return of Grimlock, believed to have died during Megatron's first attack, gave the wounded Blaster the chance he needed to free the Autobot prisoners by deactivating their [[inhibitor claw]]s. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.5}} Blaster was badly damaged, losing a leg in his fight against Megatron. Perceptor, meanwhile, used the data gleaned from studying the captured drone to deactivate the neural network linking the entire squadron, ending the Age of Internment. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.6}}

Blaster remained on Cybertron when the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'' left four million years ago, and eventually entered stasis along with the rest of the planet when it finally ran out of energy during the [[Great Shutdown]]. The planet was reawakened by Shockwave in roughly the Earth year 1000 BC, and the Autobots and Decepticons put aside their differences to begin rebuilding their world. [[File:PassiveAggression Blaster lovesEarth.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb]] Suspecting that Shockwave had more sinister motives, Blaster was one of the first Autobots to join an underground resistance movement against him, using his communications skills to discover a subliminal code being pumped through the public address screens around the planet that was aggravating the violent tendencies of the entire population. Despite his feelings for Shockwave, Blaster still developed a strong taste for information from the Earth culture Shockwave was introducing to Cybertron, and even modified his alternate mode into an Earthly boom box. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}}

In the year [[2003]], when Shockwave's forces brought Optimus Prime and the crew of the Ark back to Cybertron to be tried as war criminals, double agents inside the United Cybertronian force delivered Prime and his crew to Blaster and the others at their headquarters in the [[Wastelands]]. With the help of Cybertron's greatest hero, the resistance movement began an open insurrection against Shockwave's loyal Decepticon forces and the [[Guardian robot]]s under his control. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Shockwave's regime fell, and the Autobots resumed command of Cybertron. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Their deactivated bodies were found by the forces of [[Cobra]] and bundled up to be airlifted out, but a [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] team led by [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]] soon intervened. [[Blowtorch]] knocked the chopper carrying their bodies out of the air with his flamethrower, and [[Barbecue]] extinguished the flames before the two Autobots could be consumed by the blaze.

When the [[Decepticon]] dictatorship of Cybertron began, Blaster used his bad experiences with state-censored media to set up the [[Nexis]], a pirate news broadcast that dared speak the truth about the new government. [[Breakdown (G1)|Breakdown]] and [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] attempted to assassinate him, but were defeated by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] who asked for Blaster's help to hack the Iaconian Newsfeed Service's headquarters and send a rallying call for additional support against the Decepticon tyranny. {{storylink|Broadcast}} After his efforts had led to the Decepticons being overthrown and replaced with Optimus Prime's Autobot government, Blaster went back to legal news broadcasting. From the Nexis, he reported on the disastrous explosion of the [[Toraxxis mega-refinery]] and interviewed [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] about the [[Exodus (G1)|mass exodus]] triggered by its destruction. {{storylink|Fallout (issue)|Fallout}} During the exodus he interviewed some of the disgruntled Cybertronians stranded at [[Starsreach Spaceport]], annoying [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]'s Autobots who thought the media attention just served to make things worse. {{storylink|Massacre}}

In the wake of the exodus and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s rampage in [[Harmonex]], Blaster reported that the [[Conclave of Representatives]] was refusing to disclose how many Cybertronians had left the planet and that Harmonex had been closed off, calling the government's intentions into question once more. {{storylink|Primacy issue 1|Primacy #1}}

With the war going into full swing, Blaster joined Optimus Prime's Autobots, and initially served as a soldier who was present at a victory celebration after the Autobots halted a major Decepticon energon convoy four million years ago. {{storylink|The Iron Age}} Eventually, however, he returned to his broadcasting roots and became a patriotic radio personality, broadcasting propaganda across the galaxy to rally the Autobot forces as they struggled on the war's many battlefronts. Known as "The Voice" for his widespread positive influence, Blaster became the target of a Decepticon assassination attempt, this time to prevent him from making an important broadcast on the eve of a major Autobot offensive. Although the assassin failed, Blaster's wounded body was ejected into space, and he was believed dead by his faction.

[[File:SpotlightBlaster altmode.jpg|left|thumb|Blaster used to transform into a kaboombox.|upright=0.85]]
Some time later, Blaster was found by a passing [[Yar|trawler]] and delivered home, where it was revealed that he had to have been attacked by an Autobot. In an effort to flush the traitor out, Blaster went back on the air. The attempt worked, and his would-be killer was revealed: [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], forced into the act by a mind-controlling [[cerebro-shell]] implanted by [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]] at the direction of [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]]. However, he was able to resist when Blaster used his greatest weapon: his voice. As a damaged Beachcomber was brought in for repairs, Blaster swore he'd find Soundwave and that the last thing he'd ever hear would be... the Voice. {{storylink|Spotlight: Blaster}}

[[File:AHM15 blaster and kup.jpg|thumb|I dunno... sex appeal?]]
In the year that followed the defeat of [[Nova Prime]], Blaster was among the Autobots captured by the Decepticon [[Turmoil]], but was soon rescued by a team led by [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]]. All the other prisoners were members of the [[Wrecker]]s, suggesting Blaster may have joined the team at some point. {{storylink|Spotlight: Drift}} Blaster remained with Kup's team, and was serving as the communications officer for his ship, the ''[[Trion]]'', when a simultaneous galaxy-wide uprising was staged by the Decepticons. Distress signals came pouring in, but all went silent in short order, save for one from [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Hot Rod]], so the crew of the ''Trion'' went to save the turbo-revvin' young punk from [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] and [[Monstructor (G1)|Monstructor]]. The day was saved by [[Perceptor (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Perceptor]], although Blaster disapproved of the scientist's transformation into a warrior, saying he had "defiled himself". {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 15|Lost & Found}}

Blaster and the others harried the Decepticon fleet until they were baited into an ambush above Cybertron. There, the ship was shot down and forced to crash-land on the assumed uninhabitable world. Banding together to survive, they eventually encountered Optimus Prime's unit, only to find him incapacitated, the Matrix having been seized by [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}} Blaster mingled with the other Autobots for a while, {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 6|All Hail Megatron #6}} before warning Kup about an incoming [[Insecticon swarm|swarm]] attack that forced them to relocate. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 8|All Hail Megatron #8}} With morale still dwindling, Blaster attempted to put his famous voice to work by trying to break up a fight between Hot Rod and [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] by injecting some reason, but was interrupted by [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sideswipe]] telling them they all deserved to die. [[File:AHM9 blaster breaks up argument.jpg|left|thumb|...kiss, damn it, my fanfic needs justification!]] {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 9|All Hail Megatron #9}} The Autobots were eventually saved when [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]] decimated the swarm and carried them all to Earth, where they attacked Megatron and his troops. Blaster was ordered to block the Decepticons' communications, allowing the arrival of Omega Supreme to take them completely by surprise. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}} {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 11|All Hail Megatron #11}} He survived the great battle. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 12|All Hail Megatron #12}}

Blaster remained on Earth with the other Autobots for the next three years, as they regathered their forces. [[Streetwise (G1)|Streetwise]] radioed in to Blaster when Prowl got himself nabbed by [[Skywatch]], an event which led to the death of [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]] and the resignation of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|...For All Mankind}} Autobot leadership was split between Bumblebee and Hot Rod, and Blaster stayed with Bumblebee's group, which went on to form an alliance with [[Gordon Horiuchi]] of Skywatch. Blaster was among the Autobots who captured [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and other Decepticons for their new allies. {{storylink|The Hanging Sword}} Unfortunately, Horiuchi betrayed the Autobots and forced them to hunt one of their own kind, [[Blurr (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Blurr]]. Bumblebee managed to get free from Horiuchi's control, and so Blaster and the others stayed behind to cover for him as he sought a solution for their problems. {{storylink|The Impossible Knot}} They pretended to be making plans to hunt down Hot Rod while Bumblebee recovered the control tech Skywatch was using to keep them in line. {{storylink|The Gift Horse}} Bumblebee was successful, and Blaster was later present when Bumblebee unveiled his new, more powerful form, to better serve as Autobot leader. {{storylink|Wings of Wax}}

[[File:IntimateBeheading BRILLIANT.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8]]
Following the end of the war, Blaster was one of the Autobots who joined the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' in search of the mythical [[Knights of Cybertron]] {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}} and was one of the first people to use [[Swerve's]], being part of the grand secret opening. {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}} Much later, when the newly arrived [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Fortress Maximus]] was on a rampage around the ship, Blaster hacked a security camera so the crew could see what he was doing when he holed himself up in [[Rung (G1)|Rung]]'s office. {{storylink|Interiors}} He was later instructed by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]] to patch him in with Rodimus after the latter and some other crewmembers had been teleported to [[Theophany]]. {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}} Blaster was among those invited to [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind's]] first attempt to awaken Rung from his coma with a storytelling session, but it didn't go so well thanks to [[Siren (G1)|Siren]]'s volume. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}}

[[File:UnderColdBlueStars-PipesBlasterWhirl.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Swerve needs to go on an Electro-Scrambler Quest.]]
One of Blaster's duties on the ''Lost Light'' was to repair the long-range [[Transwarp|subspace]] communicator so that the crew could contact Cybertron, and he was annoyed all the while by [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]] who wanted to be the first to send a message. He thought he fixed it, but the message still couldn't get through as Swerve had the wrong hailing frequency. {{storylink|Cybertronian Homesick Blues}} Not that it would have mattered much, as Blaster went on to say that any attempt made with the subspace communicator to reach Cybertron met with failure. {{storylink|Signal to Noise}} Blaster reported to Rodimus when the ''Lost Light'' was contacted by the ''[[Vis Vitalis]]'' and [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]]. {{storylink|Little Victories}} The subspace communicator still wasn't working properly, but this didn't stop [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]] from leaving a message for [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] with Blaster while he was busy clearing a path through an asteroid belt with unwanted help from [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]. {{storylink|Under Cold Blue Stars}}

Following the disappearance of an injured Ultra Magnus, Blaster used security footage to find out where he had gone, eventually leading the ''Lost Light'' to the lost moon [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]]. Rodimus led a team to its surface, leaving Blaster and Fortress Maximus in charge, but they lost contact with the away team when the ship was attacked by [[Legislator]]s who blocked their transmissions. {{storylink|Remain in Light 1 of 5: The Fecund Moon|The Fecund Moon}} Blaster took a blast to the chest early in the battle and had to be protected by Maximus, {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ámbus}} and the crew was ultimately overwhelmed by the Legislators. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}} To make matters worse, when the insane Chief Justice [[Solomus|Tyrest]] activated his [[universal killswitch]] to eradicate the Transformers who were "constructed cold", Blaster was one of those affected. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}}

Following the Tyrest crisis, Blaster was one of the dozens of Autobots who helped clean and fix up the devastated bar so that Swerve could reopen it. {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}}

Blaster was present on bridge when Ultra Magnus made the decision to search for [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Winners & Losers: Dark Cybertron Chapter 3|Winners & Losers}} The crew tracked the [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] to the oceans of [[Hydrophena]] where they were attacked by [[Ammonite]]s, {{storylink|Into the Abyss: Dark Cybertron Chapter 4|Into the Abyss}} prompting Blaster to participate in the underwater battle. {{storylink|The Dead Are Not Enough: Dark Cybertron Chapter 7|The Dead Are Not Enough}} Upon finding Metroplex, they used his [[space bridge]] to return the ''Lost Light'' to Cybertron, where they were reunited with the other Autobots. {{storylink|Finis Temporis: Dark Cybertron Chapter 9|Finis Temporis}} Once the [[Necrotitan]] plaguing Cybertron was defeated, Blaster celebrated alongside the rest of the population. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} He went on to attend the trial of Megatron at [[Raskol Arena]]. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|Words Hang in the Air}}

Blaster continued to serve aboard the ''Lost Light'' as it departed again under the command of a new captain—a reformed Megatron. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|Towards Peace}} Alongside the rest of the crew he evacuated the ship when it began mysteriously dematerializing piece by piece. {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|Predestination: A Beginner's Guide}} Stuck on board the [[Rodpod]] alongside 20 other others, he took a message from Rodimus on the ''[[Leading Light]]'' to rendezvous at [[Ofsted XVII]]. All original crew members then began disappearing one by one as well, Blaster among them. {{storylink|Twenty Plus One}} Fortunately, the new crew managed to reverse the quantum irregularity, and Blaster and the others quickly returned. {{storylink|slaughterhouse Part 2: The Road Not Taken|The Road Not Taken}}

[[File:HowBrightTheirFrailDeeds-LostLightmutiny.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|Always [[totaled!|first in line for mutiny.]]]]
On an alternate-timeline ''Lost Light'', its version of Blaster was executed along with the rest of the crew, save their Rewind. He was forced to transform into vehicle mode to keep his transformation cog fresh, which was harvested from his body by the [[Decepticon Justice Division|DJD]]. His corpse was found among a large collection of bodies in a room by [[Riptide (G1)|Riptide]]. {{storylink|slaughterhouse}}

When [[Getaway]] set up his mutiny, Blaster agreed to be part of it. He 'discovered' the source of a signal that would lure Megatron, Rodimus, and their 'loyalists' off the ''Light'', and later stood with Getaway in a broadcast to emphasise how the crew had turned on their captains. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light: (1) How Bright Their Frail Deeds|How Bright Their Frail Deeds}}

Blaster was seemingly escorting [[Lumina Hoshi|Lumina]] at the inauguration of [[Metroplex (Kre-O)|Autobot City]], as he was holding her hand. {{Storylink|Two Giant Bases! Everybody Getting Along, Come On, Fight!}}

Some time later, when [[Soundwave (G1)#Kre-O online manga|Soundwave]] tried to use his clones to brainwash humans, Blaster arrived alongside [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus]] and [[Jazz (G1)#Kre-O online manga|Jazz]] to stop him. Blaster turned to tape deck mode to help the Autobots in the battle of opposing sounds, and later (in a different blue coloration) played music at the ensuing hanami. {{Storylink|Soundwave's Trap?

===''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe''===
Blaster was a freedom fighter on a Decepticon-controlled Cybertron. He was one of the many thorns in Megatron's side that continuously evaded capture.

Enraged that the once great [[Hot Rod (G1)|Imhotep Rodimus]] was one of the many Autobots that had succumbed to Megatron's will, Blaster set out to confront his fellow Autobot at the planet's north pole. There, he berated and blasted Rodimus for his fall from grace. Rodimus retaliated and during the firefight, [[G.I.Rocket]]s began to rain down around them. One of the rockets' blasts caused debris to fall atop of Blaster, knocking him out. Rather than allow his friend to be captured by the Decepticons, Rodimus abandoned his post and hauled Blaster away. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}} Rodimus brought Blaster to Ratchet for repairs before seizing leadership of the Autobots from [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]. {{storylink|Everybody Hates Metroplex}}

During the combined Autobot-Joe attack on the Decepticon army, [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] had Blaster deactivate [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]'s force shield by using his altmode to emit a sonic signal imbued with the shield's codes. Blaster then joined the battle by releasing his [[Autobot Mini-Cassette|Recordobots]] against [[Sixshot]]. {{storylink|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe issue 12|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #12}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[Eject (G1)|Eject]] lamented that all the great and famous Cybertronians, including his mentor Blaster, were long gone by the time Cybertron was controlled by the [[Builder Assembly]]. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}

When the [[Titan Master]]s joined the Autobot-Decepticon war, Blaster was partnered with the Titan Master [[Twin Cast]], the bot with the universe's most advanced cryptographic abilities. {{storylink|Blaster (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|''Titans Return'' Twin Cast/Blaster toy bio}} On the planet [[Caminus]], Blaster, Stripes, and Rewind pursued [[Skullcruncher (G1)|Skullsmasher]], [[Grax]], and [[Horri-Bull|Rot-Gut]] through the streets. They were ultimately forced to break off when Rot-Gut and Skullsmasher combined, allowing Skullsmasher to deploy a cloud of armor-eating rust and make good their escape. Blaster was later seen fighting off Soundwave's all-out attack on Cybertron. {{storylink|Titans Return: The Power of the Titan Masters}}

==Commercial appearances==
*Blaster allowed himself to be found by [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] in his radio mode. The device caught Rumble's eye, and he decided to bring Blaster back to the Decepticons' headquarters. Soundwave wasn't as easily duped, and recognized Blaster as an Autobot intruder immediately upon seeing him. Blaster then had to contend with fending off [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]]. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Blaster|Blaster commercial}}
*When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] led a squad of Decepticons on an attack on the Autobots' launch site, Blaster informed [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] that [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus]] was off-planet, and so couldn't come to their aid. He stayed behind as Ultra Magnus carried several Autobots into battle to counter-attack. {{storylink|Commercial/Generation 1#Ultra Magnus|Ultra Magnus commercial}}
*Blaster, Cosmos, and Perceptor had a dance-off against Soundwave, Rumble, and Frenzy. {{storylink|Blaster VS Soundwave 2013}}

===''Transformers G1: Awakening''===
[[File:Gluawakening blaster.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.85]]
Blaster was among the Autobots who left [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] aboard the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], and spent four million years in stasis after it was shot down over Earth by the Decepticons. Though Ratchet soon had him fixed up, the Autobots lacked the [[energon]] that he needed to get operational. They had gathered enough by the time the Autobots were preparing to assault the Decepticon fortress on Cybertron to free their enslaved fellows, and Blaster took part in the operation to take out the fortress's main power plants. {{storylink|Transformers G1: Awakening}}
{{-}}

===''Transformers Legends''===
When the Decepticons seemed to be having a run of luck, Blaster and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] found this pattern so suspicious that they teamed up with [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] to investigate. They eventually uncovered [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]]'s infiltration and sent the Decepticon and his tapes packing. {{storylink|Covert Operations}} Concerned that the Decepticons might be after the technology at a scientific facility, Blaster and his tapes infiltrated the base only to find that Soundwave was already concealed inside and after the tech. {{storylink|Espionage}} Returning from a charity event, Blaster, Windcharger and Cliffjumper received a distress signal from a nearby human military base. Leading the charge, Blaster found a Decepticon raiding party scouring the base for the [[MacGuffin Generator]]. The Autobots fought the Decepticons to a stalemate until the evil robots managed to acquire the device. It proved more volatile than they expected however, and Blaster and his team helped rebuild the base after the Decepticons were blown away by the generator. {{storylink|Raiding Party}}

Blaster was among the Autobots who fought the Decepticons after they joined forces with the Quintessons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness: Part 2}}
===''Transformers: Battle Tactics''===
[[File:Battle-Tactics-Blaster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.7|Among the random Movie quotes a random bot says are: 
Two can Play! Sic' em! Don't know how much longer we can hold out. We're all going to look like burnt-out toaster ovens.]]
Blaster participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! He was an Epic character who first appeared in the "Sonic Clash" event, and could be recruited by collecting 500 units of Cybermetal, 250 units of Transmetal,100 event cores, and 50 cores of this character. {{storylink|Transformers: Battle Tactics}}

Blaster was in contact with Ironhide and Jetfire after the latter two and an ally raided a Decepticon outpost. Blaster suggested it would be great if they upgraded the HQ.

Blaster then helped out in the many other battles that the Autobots participated in.

==Notes==
[[File:MicroChangeRadiCassRobo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*Blaster had the preliminary names of '''Pulse'''<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/index.php?full=1&set_albumName=BotCon_2010_Sat_Panels&id=DSC05237&option=com_gallery&Itemid=4&include=view_photo.php Bob Budiansky's notes at BotCon 2010]</ref> and '''Blastbox'''.<ref>[[Production bible]] of [[The Transformers (cartoon)|the original cartoon]]</ref>
*Blaster began life as the ''[[Micro Change]]'' "Radi-Casse Robo" ("radio-cassette", you see), which was actually a functional AM radio. Though this feature was gutted from Blaster when he was released as part of the ''Transformers'' toyline, the original toy's power switch (on his right leg), earphone jack (on the back of his left leg) and tuning dial (on his chest) still remain, now as moulded, non-moving details. Even the toy's electro-scrambler gun is designed to serve as storage for the mono earphone which came with the toy, with the plug inserting into the stock, the cord winding around it, and the earphone itself tucking into the hole in the gun's main body. It was not the toy itself which was the radio; rather, the radio was a small "micro-cassette" which plugged into the toy's internal wiring when inserted into its chest, allowing it to play through the speakers in its legs in either mode. As the electronic equipment in the chest meant that the figure could not hold normal ''Micro Change'' cassettes there, it featured a compartment on its back which could hold a single tape instead. This compartment could still be found on some early releases of Blaster, though it was often mistaken by fans as a vestigial battery compartment, which was actually originally located in the toy's right leg.
*Despite the fact that Blaster's finalized [[character model]]—used in the Generation 1 cartoon, the UK Marvel comics and ''[[G.I. Joe and the Transformers (comic)|G.I. Joe and the Transformers]]''—gives him a set of individual eyes, the Marvel issues drawn by [[Don Perlin]] and [[José Delbo]] base Blaster's head design on his toy, with a goggled visor. When the UK artists jumped to the American book late in its run, they continued to draw Blaster from his finalized model. [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] rationalized this discrepancy early on in the [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|letters page]] of [[Hunters|UK issue #118]] by explaining that Blaster's visor is retractable, and used to shield his especially delicate optical sensors from sunlight. Less explainable was [[Nelson Yomtov|Nel Yomtov]]'s color choice for the comic version of Blaster: a red forehead and yellow face, a combination never used on a toy or in the cartoon.
**[[IDW Publishing]] tried for a hybridized look, giving Blaster an odd-looking "moustache" that was promptly discarded from his design after his introductory [[Spotlight: Blaster|''Spotlight'' issue]].
[[File:TFUK300 letterspage.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
*In an odd quirk of design, Blaster's character model breaks the row of buttons on his abdomen up into three buttons in [[robot mode]], but four in [[alternate mode]]. It's a product of the way his toy is made: it's got three separate button-chunks, like his robot mode model, but the centre chunk is two buttons sculpted together, so he's actually ''got'' four, like his alternate mode model. This was most evident in the cartoon; in the comic, as you can see from some of the pictures above, they'd often basically draw as many as they felt like.
*Blaster hosted the Marvel UK comic's letters page for the final 33 issues (from [[Rhythms of Darkness!|issue #300]] to [[End of the Road! (US)|issue #332]]), to tie in with his Action Master toy. Here, the letters page was dubbed "Darn 'n' Blast", replacing [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind's]] "Dread Tidings", despite Dreadwind's holing himself up in the Marvel offices. The Decepticon finally left after a visit by three Christmas spirits, [[Ghost of the present|one of whom]] took on the appearance of Blaster. {{storylink|Dreadwind's Xmas!}} Blaster complained that Dreadwind had decorated the office in all purple and orange with a solitary picture of a dog with sad eyes. His characterization in the letters page is more in line with his fun-loving, hip and happening self from the cartoon than the rather grim, brooding, rebellious loner seen in the comics. He arrived on the letters page in advance of his resurrection in the comics itself, which did not occur until [[On the Edge of Extinction!|issue #321]]. He was explicitly identified as being a non-transformer Action Master, though his partner [[Flight Pack]] did not appear.
*According to Blaster himself on the UK letters page, he has two [[Relatives|siblings]]: [[Toaster]] and [[Karmen]]. And then there's [[Bluster]], his retroactively-created and less-seen brother.
*Since the release of ''Universe'' Blaster, there seems to be an attempt on the part of tech spec writers to balance Marvel's dark and brooding portrayal of Blaster with the rock 'n' roll loving version from the original US cartoon. The ''Universe'' write-up has Blaster organizing resistance cells with Perceptor (with NO mention of his musical interests), recalling the storyline in US comic #17-18. The 2010 San Diego Comic Convention release of the figure not only mentions Blaster's love of music ("Any music, from Cybertronian magna marches to down and dirty D.C. hardcore"), it references "his hatred of the Decepticons", because "the war they started killed the music scene (and most of the musicians) on Cybertron"—combining Blaster's varying personalities from these two continuities into one.
**This also means Blaster is a fan of Bad Brains and Minor Threat. That rules '''so hard.'''

==Side Missions==
===Legends of Cybertron===
'''Rulers of Kaon'''
*'''Boss''': Megatron (Around 100,000)
**'''Notable Enemies''': Mixmaster, Mirage.
An EXTREMELY and tough special mission that '''''boasts''''' unfair and unbalanced. All the enemies faced here are cranked up to eleven stat wise. Extremely high ranking bots, and extreme precision and skill is required to beat this extremely tough side mission.

It is recommended to bring in Maxed 4 star bots (Forge level, and Bot level) into this fight with very powerful synergies.

'''Revenge Of The King'''
*'''Boss: Grimlock (???)''' (It's helpful to note no one has gotten too far into Revenge of the King yet.)
**'''Notable Enemies: ???'''
And you thought Megatron was bad? This is another EXTREMELY tough special mission (recommended for people near the end game) that also '''''boasts''''' an extremely tough difficulty. The difference here being that it takes Rulers Of Kaon, and flips it on it's head difficulty wise. Did we also mention that most of the bots here are 5 Stars in-between the 100,000's? It is '''VERY HIGHLY''' recommended to not only bring in Maxed out 4 star bots, but also bring in a few Maxed 5 star bots (If you have any) and said bots also should have extremely powerful synergies and Abilities, because you'll '''REALLY''' need it.

====Very Helpful Notes about Legends Of Cybertron:====
** You will want '''''LOTS''''' of practice in the arena. This mission demands it.
**[https://forums.transformersforgedtofight.com/discussion/4327/rulers-of-kaon-guide| There is a guide to help you fight through Rulers Of Kaon. It is highly recommended to look at this for helpful tips before starting.] No guide for Revenge Of The King exists yet.
** You will want something to snack on, because Legends of Cybertron is ''VERY'' long and ardous to complete. On average, each enemy alone takes a couple minutes to beat depending.
** Have a swear jar at the ready. These two missions are very good practice for not swearing.
** Of the two bosses that stand out in ROK, Mixmaster is the most well behaved. We mean it.

==Spotlight Missions==
Spotlight Missions are limited-time story missions that focus on the game's newest characters. Typically lasting about a month, fully completing these missions will reward the player with character-based chips to go toward purchasing that month's character in the Store, in addition to the standard Gold, XP and Ore-13.

==Gameplay==
Gameplay is similar to ''[http://marvel.com/games/170/marvel_contest_of_champions| Marvel Contest of Champions]'', also made by Kabam.

*Right Tap: Light attack or Shoot when far away
*Right Swipe: Medium attack or Dash forward when far away
*Right Hold: Heavy attack - Transform into alt mode and break through an opponent's block
*Left Swipe: Dash backward
*Left Hold: Block - reduce incoming damage
*Left Up/Down: Sidestep up/down

When a bot lands and receives enough hits, a Special Attack becomes ready to be used. Higher ranked bots can have their Power further charged for a Special 2 or 3 for epic damage combos! Only one bot can use a special attack at once though! So plan and block or dodge accordingly!

;Characters and Mods

==Classes==
[[File:Classes-Forged-to-Fight.jpg|thumb|Clockwise from top right: Warrior, Scout, Tech, Demolitions, Tactician, Brawler]]
Each Bot falls into one of six classes. Each class listed gains an attack bonus over the class below it, and has a disadvantage against the class above it.

*'''Scouts''' quickly eliminate opponents with frequent Special Attacks and a high Critical Rate. Their rapid attacks give them an advantage over Tech bots.
*'''Tech''' Bots generate shields, manipulate Power, and equip some of the most advanced custom weaponry. Their shielding abilities help them when facing Demolitions bots.
*'''Demolitions''' Bots are burst damage experts that buff their Special Attacks for bigger, bolder, explosions. Their fewer attacks give them an advantage over Tactician bots.
*'''Tacticians'''' strong synergies and master strategies help them adapt during a fight to turn their enemies' strengths against them. Their anti-Armor abilities help them when facing Brawler bots.
*'''Brawlers''' are armored allies and furious foes that value strength at any cost. Their low Critical Rate and high attacks give them an advantage over Warrior bots.
*'''Warriors''' have deadly accuracy and love bleeding Energon from their opponents. Their tracking systems give them an advantage over the evasive Scout bots.

==Notes==
*Forged to Fight is an '''extremely''' referential game. Just about everything, from story dialogue to Bot Synergies to the actual combat moves themselves, is a callback to ''something'' from Transformers history. We've noted the more significant ones here but, seriously, we could write an entire article on the number of references alone.
* Generation 1 and Movie characters are clearly differentiated with their proper classic and movieverse insignias and transformation sounds.
* Though the game is set on New Quintessa, the actual fights take place in various environments, which are [[Egypt]], [[Chicago]], [[Hong Kong]], [[London]], and the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]].
* Bonecrusher is labeled as ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bonecrusher, despite the fact that he was not in [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|said film]]. There ''was'' a [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|bot with Bonecrusher's appearence]], but there's no confirmation the two were intended to be the same character.
*The "Forged to Lead" and "Forged to Serve" Synergy Bonuses reference Megatron's team in the first movie, although with Grindor in place of Blackout.
*Shockwave's first special ability is named after [[Shockblast]].
* Galvatron’s first and third special attacks are a reference to ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The first special attack is from Galvatron flying to his ship, and the third special attack is a reference to his killing of [[Starscream (G1)#Transformers:G1|Starscream]]).
* The Chapter title "Fight The Power" and the dialogue contained in both "Party Getting Started" and "Fight The Power!" could be references to the anime ''{{w|Gurren Lagann}}''.
*In “Enter the Horns”, specifically the mission “Bull Scrap”, Jazz says that Tantrum looks like the mascot of a basketball team on Earth, a likely reference to the {{W|Chicago Bulls}}
*In one of the game's more... ''interesting'' references, the mission entitled "Guess Who's Back?" has Jazz appropriately paraphrase the (in)famous opening of {{w|Eminem}}'s 2002 hit "{{w|Without Me}}" (and by extension, his later song "{{w|Just Lose It}}").
*Cyclonus's regular gun is modeled after [[Nightstick (G1)|Nightstick]], specifically his [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe '08]] toy.

===Foreign names===
*''Italian:'' '''''Transformers: Combattenti''''' ("Transformers: Fighters")
*''Japanese'' '''''トランスフォーマー鋼鉄の戦士たち''''' ("Transformers steel warriors ")
*''Mandarin:'' '''''变形金刚：百炼为战''''' ("Transformers: forge 100 times to fight")

Transmutate (BW)

2018-10-14T08:03:14Z

Sonicprime1963: /* Beast Wars 10th Anniversary */

{{disambig2|the ''Beast Wars'' character|the ''Beast Wars'' episode|Transmutate (episode)}}
{{faction|maximal}}
:''Transmutate is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Transmutate.jpg|250px|thumb|MU-tilate. MU-tant. Hm. I wonder. Oh well.]]

Twisted and warped, '''Transmutate''' (also '''Trans-Mutate''') is a [[Transformer]] in name only. The damage done to them by their troubled birth has rendered them unable to [[transformation|transform]], and reduced their mind to infancy, leaving them utterly innocent in personality and able to grasp only simple concepts. Their trusting and curious nature is both a boon and a handicap.

Transmutate's distorted frame conceals almost unbelievable destructive power in the form of a super-sonic scream which can leave all but the hardiest victim out cold. Their simple mind means that many of its capabilities remain unknown, even to itself, and they will express surprise when, for instance, they find they have the ability to flyyyyyyyyy.

{{quote|Man, I am tellin' ya, the things coming out of these pods is just getting weirder and weirder.|[[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]|"[[Transmutate (episode)|Transmutate]]"}}

===''Beast Wars'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Susan Blu]] (English), [[Haruna Ikezawa]] (Japanese)|[[Xu Lin]] (Chinese), [[Luca Bottale]] (Italian)}}
[[File:Transmutate Rampage.jpg|thumb|left|230px]]
Transmutate's [[stasis pod]] was one of many aboard the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' and at some point crashed from [[Earth]] orbit in seismically-unstable [[Grid Deltron]]. The heavily-damaged pod later became uncovered by the region's earthquakes and Transmutate explosively freed itself. Presented with the choice of [[Maximal]] or [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]], it hesitated and when [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] accidentally shot it, it unleashed its sonic scream. With the Maximals out of commission as a result and feeling he'd found a kindred spirit, [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] lost no time in befriending Transmutate. Though [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] failed to see the value in the mutant and wanted it destroyed, Rampage intended to prove it a worthy ally. He and Inferno persuaded it to act as bait for a trap for [[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]]. When Transmutate was reluctant to finish off the Maximal, Inferno pushed the creature aside and was promptly blasted into the distance for his troubles.

[[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] arrived and, defeating Rampage, persuaded Transmutate to return with him to the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' for a scan. The results were discouraging—Optimus felt that it was a danger to itself as well as those around it, [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] suggested putting it into [[stasis lock]], and Silverbolt was the only one to speak up angrily in its favor. Walking through the base alone, Transmutate heard Rampage calling to it, and opted to leave the ''Axalon'' to join him.

Silverbolt quickly found the pair and immediately came to blows with Rampage. Transmutate tried to get them to stop, landing between them right as they each fired missiles. Transmutate blazed with power as it tried to halt the missiles, but was shattered in the resulting explosion and, though its consciousness lingered for a few moments more, its spark was extinguished. {{storylink|Transmutate (episode)|Transmutate}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:Timelines Trans-MutateCardArt.jpg|thumb|300px|left|]]

In [[Primax 209.0 Gamma|a parallel reality]] where the Maximals and Predacons were created by the Autobots and Decepticons to serve as proxy armies to continue fighting in their stead, the 'bot who would become known as "Trans-Mutate" was a fully-formed Maximal. Cheerful and curious about everything around her, she suffered from a disconnect in her processors that prevented her from properly interpreting emotions and social cues, which only made her all the more fascinated in her fellow Maximals and the way they interacted with the world, and with her. For this condition, the cruel had given her the mocking nickname of "Trans-Mutate", but would likely have thought twice about doing so if they had realized that she was a [[Point One Percenter]], possessing a terrifyingly powerful [[spark]] that gave her a strength she herself feared and tried to forget about.

[[File:AloneTogetherPerception Trans-Mutate.jpg|thumb|300px|right]]
Observing multiple instances of incompatible, contradictory information in the official history logs of Cybertron and concluding that it had been perpetrated deliberately, the innocent-minded Trans-Mutate brought her concerns to the authorities, who reacted not with a desire to see it corrected, as she had expected, but with an anger she could not understand—they, of course, were the ones ''responsible'' for adjusting the history logs for their own purposes. Trans-Mutate ended up allying with the mobster [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]], though she did not comprehend that he was a criminal: she sided with him because ''his'' account of history matched the facts she had gathered. When her usefulness to Cryotek ended, he discarded her, but she was rescued from the authorities by [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]] and fell in with [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s freedom fighters, struggling to overthrow the masters who forced them to fight a continuous war. Though she understood that she had been wrong in trusting Cryotek, she could not understand ''why''. {{storylink|Perception}} {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 55|Transmutate's profile in Club magazine #55}}

During the group's raid on the [[Ferromax Detention Center]] to free [[Dinobot (BW)|Dynobot]], Trans-Mutate found herself distracted by a voice emanating from a cell on the maximum security level: [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]], a fellow Point One Percenter who sensed a kindred spirit in her, and who told her that he could feel the pain in her [[spark]]. The Maximals freed Dynobot, and before they left, Rampage promised Trans-Mutate that they would meet again. {{storylink|Alone Together: Prologue|Prologue}} Unfortunately, Trans-Mutate was captured during the escape, tried, and sentenced to incarceration on [[Garrus-16]]. En route, however, the prison ship ''[[Claustrum]]'' suffered a hull breach, jettisoning her stasis pod, which crashed on dwarf planet [[Metascan Omega|LGC-8803]]. Taking the [[navicomp]] from the pod to supply advice, she explored and discovered a huge structure. A short time later, she was found by Rampage, who had also been imprisoned aboard the ''Claustrum''. {{storylink|Perception}} When he turned out to be so low on energy he could barely stand, she connected him to the navicomp to give him power, and he filled her in on the concept of Point One Percenters. The pair soon realized that they were not alone, and came under attack from [[Bruton]] and [[Medusa]]. Despite putting up a fair battle, they were rendered unconscious and presented to [[Lord Imperious Delirious]]. {{storylink|Kindred}}

[[File:AloneTogetherPerception Trans-Mutate vehicle mode.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
The [[Destructon]] leader provided the pair with [[energon]] and revealed that he had shot the ''Claustrum'' down in order to liberate them. Explaining the origins of himself and his friends, who were all "second-born intellects"—being created by other beings—that had rebelled against their creators, Delirious invited Trans-Mutate and Rampage to join their ranks. Trans-Mutate, however, spotted the inconsistencies in Lord Imperious Delirious's story and, having uncomfortable memories of Cryotek, insisted that she and Rampage would be leaving. When pressed, she pointed out that Delirious had to be lying, because there was no way he could have known about them being onboard the ship; the Destructon leader confirmed her suspicions, explaining he had shot the ship down purely to salvage its tech, but insisted that "broken" 'bots like them belonged in his care. Rampage wavered, but Trans-Mutate firmly refuted the notion that she was "broken"—and Lord Imperious Delirious responded with his hallucinogenic Delirious Fire. {{storylink|Delirious}} Trans-Mutate found herself floating in a fragmented space, unable to string together a thought, until Rampage was able to mentally contact her and persuade her to use her power to break them both free. They were immediately attacked by the Destructons, and Trans-Mutate sliced Medusa in two. The Destructons opted to leave Rampage and Trans-Mutate to be picked up by whomever answered the distress call Delirious had sent to Cybertron. {{storylink|Clarity}}

[[File:BW10 Transmutate.jpg|thumb|150px|Not wanted anywhere but eBay.]]
:Trans-Mutate was never sold as an individual toy. Rather, it was only available with the first two waves of Beast Wars 10th Anniversary toys in 2006; each of the first six releases had a part to Trans-Mutate packaged with it. All six parts combined to form a non-transformable figure with limited articulation... but the simple fact that an official figure of a one-episode show character got ''made'' is itself an extraordinary occurrence.

:The plastic in Trans-Mutate's legs is very rubbery and prone to warping, leaving the toy unable to stand unsupported after a few years.

*'''Trans-Mutate''' (Deluxe, [[2014]])
**''Accessories:'' Two arm blades/motorcycle panels, stand
:Trans-Mutate is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Prime: First Edition]]'' [[Arcee (WFC)#FirstEdition|Arcee]]. She was an exclusive available for purchase by [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] members. Trans-Mutate transforms from a green and tan motorcycle to a robot and back. Arm blades stow in vehicle mode and can be plugged under Trans-Mutate's forearms in robot mode.

:''Timelines'' Trans-Mutate came in a large box that is meant to serve as shared [[giftset]]-style packaging with ''Timelines'' Protoform X, though that figure is sold separately. The [[package art]] for this box is an homage to the sci-fi film ''{{w|Enemy Mine (film)|Enemy Mine}}''.

==Notes==
*A minor point of argument among fans is exactly why the Maximals were so quick to stasis-lock Transmutate instead of transferring its spark to another body like Rhinox did with Optimus Primal following the latter's unintentional sacrifice. It was stated only that its [[core consciousness]] and body structure were mutilated beyond recovery; no mention was made about the condition of its spark. Of course, the euthanasia metaphor of the character's title episode would fall apart if they did that, but hey, semantics.
**The script for this episode explicitly states that Transmutate's spark was unstable: "Energy ERUPTS throughout Its body as Its own unstable spark begins to tear It apart." Although stage direction and narration from scripts are only [[pseudocanon]], this may nonetheless satisfy some fans that the spark was indeed as damaged as the body. The script, like many ''Beast Wars'' scripts, can be found on [http://web.archive.org/web/20050211031602/http://www.bwtf.com/bw/tvshow/episodes/seasontwo/ BWTF.com].
[[File:Transmutate Facepic.jpg|200px|thumb|faaaaaaaaaaaace]]
*Also from the episode script comes this character description in the cast listing section: ''TRANSMUTATE: a being with no beauty of form nor logic of shape, massive, made of unmatched parts: bits of Predacon, pieces of Maximal, chunks of Fuzor and Transmetal, heavy-duty weapons, and a face that vaguely indicates it is female.'' This wording lends some credence to the fan notion that Transmutate was originally a female Protoform. However, Transmutate is consistently referred to within the script using genderless pronouns, confusing the issue. In 2014, an alternate universe version of Transmutate would be depicted as female by a [[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|''Timelines'']] toy and corresponding Club magazine story.
*According to [[Ben Yee]] on [[Madman Entertainment]]'s ''Beast Wars'' Season 2 DVD commentaries, Hasbro attempted to replicate Transmutate's sonic scream attacks first as a spring-loaded projectile, then as a static decoration. Fortunately for the sake of good taste, they abandoned those plans.
*Many people feel Transmutate's face is unsettling (though not as much as its voice).

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Transmutate''' (トランスミューテイト ''Toransumyūteito'')
*''Italian:'' '''Convertor'''
*''Portuguese:'' '''Transmutante'''
*''Spanish:'' '''Transmutante'''
*''Russian:'' '''Transmutatsiya''' (Трансмутация), '''Transmutant''' (Трансмутант)

==Side Missions==
===Legends of Cybertron===
'''Rulers of Kaon'''
*'''Boss''': Megatron (Around 100,000)
**'''Notable Enemies''': Mixmaster, Mirage.
An EXTREMELY and tough special mission that '''''boasts''''' unfair and unbalanced. All the enemies faced here are cranked up to eleven stat wise. Extremely high ranking bots, and extreme precision and skill is required to beat this extremely tough side mission.

It is recommended to bring in Maxed 4 star bots (Forge level, and Bot level) into this fight with very powerful synergies.

'''Revenge Of The King'''
*'''Boss: Grimlock (???)''' (It's helpful to note no one has gotten too far into Revenge of the King yet.)
**'''Notable Enemies: ???'''
And you thought Megatron was bad? This is another EXTREMELY tough special mission (recommended for people near the end game) that also '''''boasts''''' an extremely tough difficulty. The difference here being that it takes Rulers Of Kaon, and flips it on it's head difficulty wise. Did we also mention that most of the bots here are 5 Stars in-between the 100,000's? It is '''VERY HIGHLY''' recommended to not only bring in Maxed out 4 star bots, but also bring in a few Maxed 5 star bots (If you have any) and said bots also should have extremely powerful synergies and Abilities, because you'll '''REALLY''' need it.

====Very Helpful Notes about Legends Of Cybertron:====
** You will want '''''LOTS''''' of practice in the arena. This mission demands it.
**[https://forums.transformersforgedtofight.com/discussion/4327/rulers-of-kaon-guide| There is a guide to help you fight through Rulers Of Kaon. It is highly recommended to look at this for helpful tips before starting.] No guide for Revenge Of The King exists yet.
** You will want something to snack on, because Legends of Cybertron is ''VERY'' long and ardous to complete. On average, each enemy alone takes a couple minutes to beat depending.
** Have a swear jar at the ready. These two missions are very good practice for not swearing.
** Of the two bosses that stand out in ROK, Mixmaster is the most well behaved. We mean it.

==Spotlight Missions==
Spotlight Missions are limited-time story missions that focus on the game's newest characters. Typically lasting about a month, fully completing these missions will reward the player with character-based chips to go toward purchasing that month's character in the Store, in addition to the standard Gold, XP and Ore-13.

==Gameplay==
Gameplay is similar to ''[http://marvel.com/games/170/marvel_contest_of_champions| Marvel Contest of Champions]'', also made by Kabam.

*Right Tap: Light attack or Shoot when far away
*Right Swipe: Medium attack or Dash forward when far away
*Right Hold: Heavy attack - Transform into alt mode and break through an opponent's block
*Left Swipe: Dash backward
*Left Hold: Block - reduce incoming damage
*Left Up/Down: Sidestep up/down

When a bot lands and receives enough hits, a Special Attack becomes ready to be used. Higher ranked bots can have their Power further charged for a Special 2 or 3 for epic damage combos! Only one bot can use a special attack at once though! So plan and block or dodge accordingly!

;Characters and Mods

;Forging

==Classes==
[[File:Classes-Forged-to-Fight.jpg|thumb|Clockwise from top right: Warrior, Scout, Tech, Demolitions, Tactician, Brawler]]
Each Bot falls into one of six classes. Each class listed gains an attack bonus over the class below it, and has a disadvantage against the class above it.

*'''Scouts''' quickly eliminate opponents with frequent Special Attacks and a high Critical Rate. Their rapid attacks give them an advantage over Tech bots.
*'''Tech''' Bots generate shields, manipulate Power, and equip some of the most advanced custom weaponry. Their shielding abilities help them when facing Demolitions bots.
*'''Demolitions''' Bots are burst damage experts that buff their Special Attacks for bigger, bolder, explosions. Their fewer attacks give them an advantage over Tactician bots.
*'''Tacticians'''' strong synergies and master strategies help them adapt during a fight to turn their enemies' strengths against them. Their anti-Armor abilities help them when facing Brawler bots.
*'''Brawlers''' are armored allies and furious foes that value strength at any cost. Their low Critical Rate and high attacks give them an advantage over Warrior bots.
*'''Warriors''' have deadly accuracy and love bleeding Energon from their opponents. Their tracking systems give them an advantage over the evasive Scout bots.

Although you can stop the wheel early, it does not affect the outcome, as the prize is determined soon after a crystal is activated. Any duplicate Bots and Mods are converted into Class Ore-13 and Gold.

==Notes==
*Forged to Fight is an '''extremely''' referential game. Just about everything, from story dialogue to Bot Synergies to the actual combat moves themselves, is a callback to ''something'' from Transformers history. We've noted the more significant ones here but, seriously, we could write an entire article on the number of references alone.
* Generation 1 and Movie characters are clearly differentiated with their proper classic and movieverse insignias and transformation sounds.
* Though the game is set on New Quintessa, the actual fights take place in various environments, which are [[Egypt]], [[Chicago]], [[Hong Kong]], [[London]], and the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]].
* Bonecrusher is labeled as ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bonecrusher, despite the fact that he was not in [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|said film]]. There ''was'' a [[Buffalo MPV Decepticon|bot with Bonecrusher's appearence]], but there's no confirmation the two were intended to be the same character.
*The "Forged to Lead" and "Forged to Serve" Synergy Bonuses reference Megatron's team in the first movie, although with Grindor in place of Blackout.
*Shockwave's first special ability is named after [[Shockblast]].
* Galvatron’s first and third special attacks are a reference to ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. The first special attack is from Galvatron flying to his ship, and the third special attack is a reference to his killing of [[Starscream (G1)#Transformers:G1|Starscream]]).
* The Chapter title "Fight The Power" and the dialogue contained in both "Party Getting Started" and "Fight The Power!" could be references to the anime ''{{w|Gurren Lagann}}''.
*In “Enter the Horns”, specifically the mission “Bull Scrap”, Jazz says that Tantrum looks like the mascot of a basketball team on Earth, a likely reference to the {{W|Chicago Bulls}}
*In one of the game's more... ''interesting'' references, the mission entitled "Guess Who's Back?" has Jazz appropriately paraphrase the (in)famous opening of {{w|Eminem}}'s 2002 hit "{{w|Without Me}}" (and by extension, his later song "{{w|Just Lose It}}").
*Cyclonus's regular gun is modeled after [[Nightstick (G1)|Nightstick]], specifically his [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe '08]] toy.

===Foreign names===
*''Italian:'' '''''Transformers: Combattenti''''' ("Transformers: Fighters")
*''Japanese'' '''''トランスフォーマー鋼鉄の戦士たち''''' ("Transformers steel warriors ")
*''Mandarin:'' '''''变形金刚：百炼为战''''' ("Transformers: forge 100 times to fight")

What can really be said about someone whose only idea of strategy is to smash into things with his head? In '''Ramjet'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s defense he's specifically built to survive such midair collisions and his prey most definitely is not. The strategy can be frighteningly effective, since no one expects a fighter jet to ram them. Ramjet has a tendency to regard the sky as belonging only to him, and will frequently ram even neutral or friendly targets. Though he is built to take such hits, frequent collisions and crashes can still take their toll on his internal mechanisms.

And yet, despite all of this, he's still convinced he's an evil genius. Some mechs never learn.

[[File:DinobotIsland2 Ramjet Thrust with cubes.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Shut up, they're not THAT heavy.]]
Ramjet was first seen on Earth when [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and his ilk raided [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]] for its energy resources. He and his fellow Decepticons went to work filling their energon cubes to maximum capacity. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 1}} They were eventually opposed by the Autobots, however, and engaged in a heavy metal war for control of the island. Eventually, the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] turned their fellow dinosaurs against the Decepticons. Ramjet and Thrust were run down by a stampeding herd of dinosaurs before Megatron finally called it quits. {{storylink|Dinobot Island, Part 2}}

[[File:AutoBerserk Megatron and Ramjet watching surveillance.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"So much of my schemes have been thwarted by the Autobots, let me tell you Ramjet that sometimes I feel like growing a cone head!"
"Err, pardon?"]]
Later, Ramjet was sent into battle by Megatron to intercept the Autobots' sole aerial ace, [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], before he interfered with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] guarding the solar power tower that Megatron had rightfully stolen. Ramjet tried to ram Powerglide out of the sky, but flew too close to his massive comrade, and was swatted down by Devastator himself. {{storylink|The Master Builders (episode)|The Master Builders}} When [[Soundwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Soundwave]] and his Cassettes failed to steal the [[Negavator]], [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and Ramjet led the Seekers in an aerial raid. Once [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] triggered an avalanche to trap the Autobots in a box canyon, it should have been easy pickings. Unfortunately, [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]] unleashed his magnetic clouds and then electro-disrupted the jets' radar, leaving them completely blind-flying and Yoda-talking. Ramjet tried to make his crash count by landing on an Autobot, but comically managed to land right on top of Megatron, just after the Decepticon leader had secured the all-powerful Negavator machine for himself.'' "I've got morons on my team!",'' Megatron screamed, and it was hard to disagree. {{storylink|Auto Berserk}}

[[File:MMP1 Ramjet rams Tracks.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|That's either a tiny jet or a big-ass car!]]
When a new solar energy facility opened up in [[Central City (Earth)|Central City]], Starscream led Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust to steal its power. The facility proved to be a trap, however, set by Shawn Berger to elevate himself in the public eye by taking down the Decepticons with his private militia. Berger's operatives failed, but the Autobots soon arrived to engage the Decepticons as well. [[Tracks (G1)|Tracks]] took to the air and zapped Dirge with his blackout beam. Luckily for Dirge, Ramjet managed to pull off a loopity-loop and ram the flying Autobot into the ground. Megatron then "requested" the pleasure of Shawn Berger's presence, not to punish him, but to play a subtler game. He attempted to convince the industrialist that the Decepticons were good, and the Autobots evil. Ramjet was one of the key players in Megatron's staged videos to tarnish the Autobots' reputation. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1}} Later, after the Autobots were successfully vilified in the public eye and exiled to deep space, the Seekers turned on the people of Central City, opening fire in the middle of the streets. Ramjet in particular expressed his frustrations over having to act "good", even for a little while, by flying straight ''through'' a building, bringing the whole mess down. Although the Seekers fared well against an attack by the Air Force, the eventual return of the Autobots proved to be more than the Decepticons could handle. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 2}}

After Megatron took over Earth's airwaves from the moon, Ramjet and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] did their bit to speed the chaos along, attacking the Autobots during their various rescue missions. Ramjet even got a chance to pay back Powerglide for an old injury, shooting down the Autobot flier over the airport. Very nearly got rid of two [[Carly|annoying]] [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|humans]], too. {{storylink|Blaster Blues}}

[[File:Ramjetinpast.gif|upright=1.1|thumb|Ramjet could have been a great soccer player.]]
Once, Ramjet was working with Starscream, Rumble and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] in the United Kingdom, when they got low on energon fighting the Autobots. Sensing energy inside the mysterious [[Dragon Mound]], the Decepticons accidentally activated a timewarp and were transported back to the days of Camelot. Running across a pair of errant knights, Ramjet found that lasers could not function in the Dark Ages, so he merely headbutted his opponent into submission. After a brief exchange, Starscream realized the situation and made a pact with the knight, Sir [[Wigend of Blackthorne]], to aid him against his enemies. At a pre-arranged tournament the next afternoon, Rumble and Ramjet acted as knight and steed in Sir Wigend's stead, against the [[Aetheling the Red|Red Knight]]. The Decepticons' coup was cut short, however, due to the arrival of the Red Knight's champions, [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] and [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]]. With Warpath serving as the Red Knight's steed, Ramjet ended up ruining his nose in the joust. Although the Decepticons tried to build their own kingdom after that by inventing gunpowder and the electric dynamo before their time, they were eventually defeated, and all the Transformers returned to the 20th century through the Dragon Mound. {{storylink|A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court (episode)|A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court}}

On one occasion, Ramjet and Thrust joined [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] in an air strike on an Autobot geological survey near the rocky coastline. Ramjet attempted to engage [[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]] over the open seas, and was trading firepower pretty well until his instincts got the best of him and he tried to ram the Autobot hovercraft. Seaspray easily dodged the knuckleheaded Decepticon, who plummeted into the briny deep. During this exchange, though, Thrust discovered a pool of [[electrum]], and soon all the Decepticons were rendered completely invulnerable. Ramjet and the others relished in their invincibility for a time, but soon the Autobots discovered the pool as well, and the supply of electrum was quickly exhausted by both factions. {{storylink|The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon}} Ramjet was involved in the strike on the [[Morphobot]]s, but was driven off by the Autobots after the [[robotic insecticide]] was destroyed. {{storylink|Quest for Survival}}

[[File:Gambler Gyconi Ramjet and Dirge.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Gambling is bad for you kids, you have to keep so much in mind that you'll end up with a cone head like these two fellas!" "I BEG YOUR PARDON!?"]]
Later on, Dirge, Ramjet and [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] came to [[Monacus]] to look after Megatron's interests in [[Sheol]], and his less than reputable partner, Lord [[Gyconi]]. They were putting the squeeze on Gyconi when a program caught Dirge's optic, inviting one-and-all to see the Autobots in pit battle against Gyconi's [[animalien]]s. They decided to take in a show while on Monacus, but quickly realized what was going on when Smokescreen flooded the arena with smoke to stop the games and save his friends. Dirge and Ramjet set off after the Autobot in jet mode, and very nearly destroyed him before the bounty hunting Autobot named [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] stepped in to blast them out of the air. There's nothing a Decepticon fears more than a fair fight, and the two Seekers skedaddled as soon as they were able to get back in the sky. They retreated back to Astrotrain with their share of Gyconi's energon, and eventually fled the planet, with Devcon chasing their smoke trail. {{storylink|The Gambler}}

When the [[Triple Changer]]s temporarily disposed of Megatron and Starscream, Decepticon leadership became a free-for-all. Instead of choosing sides like the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicon]]s, Ramjet and the Seekers were mostly content just to watch the hilarity ensue, like Blitzwing's football antics and Astrotrain's army of idiot trains. {{storylink|Triple Takeover}}

[[File:SearchForAlphaTrion Ramjet and Shockwave cower.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1| [[Starscream (Movie)|Sometimes, cowards who block their faces, survive!]]]]
One day, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] found himself under siege from a lost tribe of [[Female Autobots]] on Cybertron, and so Megatron sent Ramjet and a small group of Decepticons via the [[space bridge]] to assist him. He tried to take down the team leader [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] with a missile, only to have her grab it in mid-flight and hurl it back at him. Ramjet survived that, only to have a tower dropped on him later by [[Moonracer (G1)|Moonracer]]'s sharpshooting skills. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

Ramjet and his buddies tried to kidnap [[Astoria Carlton-Ritz]], CEO of [[Hybrid Technologies]] but failed, miserably and repeatedly. Although they eventually captured her, it's hard to call anyone who ended up with Astoria the "winner". {{storylink|The Girl Who Loved Powerglide}} They proved to be just as hapless when Megatron sent them on an ultra-secret mission to recover a [[Wheeljack's unnamed invention|mysterious cargo]] when even he didn't know what it was. {{storylink|Hoist Goes Hollywood (episode)|Hoist Goes Hollywood}} In the latest in a long series of ineptitudes, Ramjet and his flying partners were outmaneuvered by the Autobots on the ground while trying to steal an experimental superfuel. Dirge and Thrust were taken out of action when Prime and the others tricked them into flying into the side of a mountain above the road. Ramjet was too quick for them but, when the Autobots pulled exactly the same maneuver moments later, he ran into the mountain just as hard as his buddies did. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

[[File:AerialAssault Ramjet crashed.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|It's just the time to think…]]
Dirge and Ramjet were briefly seen using Megatron's [[Lightning Bug]] in defense of the Decepticons' undersea base. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}} The two were later captured by Starscream and the renegade [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], and pilfered for their energy absorbers. {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}} Still, Ramjet was repaired rather quickly, and was seen helping Megatron and the Insecticons in another joint scheme soon thereafter. He and Dirge were commissioned to find the Insecticons when [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] stole a vital part of the Space Bridge machinery. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}} During a Decepticon mission in the Middle East, Ramjet helped the Decepticons create an army of drone jets out of stolen parts, commanding them as his own personal flight wing against the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s. Even with back-up, however, Ramjet was tossed out of the sky by [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]. {{storylink|Aerial Assault}} He was briefly seen as part of Megatron's scheme to throw the moon out of orbit. {{storylink|B.O.T. (episode)|B.O.T.}}

Ramjet later participated in the [[Battle of Autobot City]], where he was shot by a high-jumping [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Luckily he wasn't damaged enough by the blast to be tossed into space for being dead weight later on, and was present at [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream's]] crowning as the new Decepticon leader. Ramjet, or a random Decepticon jet with his color scheme, later flew into [[Unicron|Unicron's]] mouth and exploded. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Ramjet’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series “[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]” and the storybook “[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie]]."}}

[[File:FFOD1 Dirge and Ramjet shot down.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Here are two great grey-faced trackers: Big Blue Fathead and Big White Fathead…]]
Ramjet and Dirge were later hiding in [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]], but were found out by [[Outback (G1)|Outback]] and his "[[Decepticon detector]]", and the two Seekers were interrogated to reveal the location of [[Chaar]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} Ramjet was able to rendezvous with the other Decepticons on Chaar, before the [[Quintesson]]s arrived to bribe them all with energon cubes and take them to attack a group of Autobots on the planet [[Goo 8739B|Goo]]. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 3}} The attack was halted when [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] arrived an reclaimed his army. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Ramjet took part in the assault on Cybertron, and was totally blownuptified when [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] decided to deal with him by chucking the conehead into a wall. Dude. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

Somehow still alive and well, Ramjet was among the group of Decepticons who Galvatron lead to Carbombya to find [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and [[Octane]], only to discover that the country's oil supply produced high quality energon. When [[Abdul Fakkadi (G1)|Abdul Fakkadi]] tried to send a warning to the Autobots, Ramjet lead him away and locked him up. Ramjet survived the inevitable battle, and was seen retreating with the other Decepticons. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

====''The Battle of the Star Gate''====
Ramjet was among the Decepticons Megatron brought to the ''[[Trigger]]'' to confront two Starscreams, one from the present, one from the future, who were in the middle of conspiring against the Decepticon leader. When Starscream combined himself with the ''Trigger'' to create a powerful new body for himself, Ramjet had to contend with the volley of asteroids thrown towards both Autobots and Decepticons from Starscream’s star gate. He was then almost sucked into a portal to a black hole when Starscream neared defeat, but was instead sent plummeting down to Earth when Optimus and Megatron worked together to defeat Starscream. {{storylink|The Battle of the Star Gate}}

====''Wings Universe''====
[[File:Timelines G2Ramjet CardArt.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|]]
{{Wingsnote}}
When most of the Decepticons left for the stars with Galvatron and Scorponok, Ramjet remained behind on Earth. Without any true purpose of his own, Ramjet hired himself out as a mercenary to human dictators and criminal organizations. He caught a lucky break when he attacked the Go-Bot named [[Motormouth]] and uncovered a supply of [[forestonite]]. With this substance, Ramjet augmented himself like many of the other Transformers still on Earth.

At some point, Ramjet officially became a member of the [[Decepticon Syndicate]] led by [[Clench (G1)|Clench]]. He broke into [[Quantum Laboratories]] and stole a number of documents of interest to [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] during one of the Syndicate's dealings with the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian]]. {{storylink|A Flash Forward, Part 2}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
In an unstable amalgam universe, Ramjet was one of the many Decepticons who assaulted [[Guardian (GoBots)|Guardian City]] in the year 2005, critically wounding [[gbwiki:Spay-C|Spay-C]] and [[gbwiki:Good Knight|Good Knight]]. Not long afterwards, he was shot down by [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]] when the Guardian leader arrived. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

====''Deviations''====
Ramjet was one of the many warriors who retreated from Autobot City after Optimus Prime turned the tide, and was shocked when Starscream revealed that Megatron hadn’t made it out. {{storylink|Transformers: Deviations|Deviations}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics====
{{noteukonly}}
Ramjet was one of Lord [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s warriors operating out of [[Polyhex]]. Along with the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] and the other [[conehead]]s, he pursued another sextet of Autobots who had just carried out some sort of raid on the [[smelting pool]], only to be forced to retreat by a torrent of liquid metal that had just been siphoned off of it. {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}}

He continued to serve under Straxus on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] until the Decepticon overlord was assassinated. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}} ''He was [[Ten Deadliest Killers|one of the most feared and deadly killers]] on Cybertron, and would have been a key target in [[Operation: Volcano]] if he hadn't been abruptly ordered to Earth by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], along with [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]].'' {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

[[File:Thetorquerifle.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|I HATE it when I get my Schwartz twisted!]]
They were given Earth jet forms specified by Megatron and provided air support when the Decepticons attempted to exploit [[Hoover Dam]] for energy. The [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] arrived to deal with them, but Ramjet scored first blood for the Decepticons by ramming [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]] right out of the sky. His early victory didn't help Ramjet in his fight with [[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]], however, as the Autobot's [[torque rifle]] twisted his beautiful nosecone all out of shape. As the Aerialbots successfully reorganized, Ramjet led the Decepticon jets in a swift tactical advance to the rear. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!}}

''Optimus Prime would later review footage of Ramjet's arrival on Earth and his subsequent antics to determine that his Autobots were insufficiently prepared should he meet his demise.'' {{storylink|Prey!}}

[[File:Decepticons enemy action.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|Even Ramjet was quick to deduce that Shockwave was the one who farted.]]
Ramjet was seen to be shot down in flames during battle against the combined forces of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Cobra]]. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!}}

Under [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], Ramjet participated in a raid on a fleshling [[oil tanker]] alongside [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], [[Vortex (G1)|Vortex]] and the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]. After [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]] had electronically taken command of the ship's controls, Ramjet forced the passengers onto life-rafts and had them sail off to sea. But though the Decepticons successfully took control of the ship, they did so after it had already dispensed it cargo, leaving them with no fuel for their efforts. {{storylink|Buster Witwicky and the Car Wash of Doom}}

''Later, he was among the Decepticons present when [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] attacked their [[Club Con|new underwater headquarters]], ready to try and gun down their near-invincible opponent as he breached their defenses. However, upon doing so, Galvatron told the Decepticons that he had only wished to talk to them, and that Shockwave's choice to respond to his arrival with violence had taken that option off the table. Ramjet turned to Shockwave, none-too-impressed with how he had handled the matter as Galvatron took off.'' {{storylink|Enemy Action!}} ''Shockwave dispatched Ramjet to [[London]] along with Thrust, Dirge, [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]], and [[Overbite (G1)|Jawbreaker]] to recover the deactivated [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Centurion (Marvel)|Centurion]] from the [[Thames|River Thames]], inadvertently stealing [[Richard Branson]]'s thunder.'' {{storylink|Salvage!}} Under [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s command, he participated in a daring attack against the Autobots on the Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]]. The Decepticon forces were ultimately driven back when [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], the squabbling over leadership of the Autobots, managed to put aside their differences for long enough to rally the Autobots into a counterattack. {{storylink|Totaled!}} Afterwards, the Decepticons disguised their island base as a tropical vacationing resort. Ramjet was put to work transporting humans to and from the island. {{storylink|Club Con!}}

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====
In [[2008]], Ramjet was seen among the Decepticon fliers being led into battle by [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and his flagship, [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]; the Decepticons had been fed information that the Autobots had mostly left Cybertron, leaving their territories vulnerable. This turned out to be a Quintesson ruse, and the aliens ambushed the Decepticons in a bid to forcefully colonize the Transformer homeworld. The Decepticons wound up having to temporarily join forces with the Autobots to thwart them. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

====Marvel ''Generation 2'' comic====
[[File:Ramjetg2comics.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Shouldn't he be teal now?]]
When [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] returned and overthrew [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s command, Ramjet was aggravated that Megatron brought a revived Starscream with him. Starscream was arrogant, loud, and would never shut up, so why didn't Megatron leave him dead? Seriously, what was Megatron's problem? {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness|Tales of Earth Part Three}} Optimus soon turned up, but instead of fighting Megatron, attempted to convince him to join forces against the greater threat of [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus's]] [[Cybertronian (faction)|Advanced-Decepticons]]. Ramjet looked on as Megatron responded by beating Optimus to near-death, and pilfering the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]]'s energies. Ramjet was blasted at when a group of Autobot reinforcements came to Prime's rescue, but the Decepticons simply retreated rather than risk losing their means to bring a [[Bludgeon's new army|new Decepticon army]] to life. {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}}

[[File:Ramjet war without end.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Perfect, now I'm ready for G2-OW, he shot me in the boob!]]
Ramjet was sporting a new paintjob and an odd lack of cone when he joined Bludgeon's forces in attacking Earth. He was shot down in battle by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]]. {{storylink|War Without End (issue)|War Without End}}

====''Classics''====
{{noteclassics}}
Ramjet was deactivated by [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]] during his stint with the [[Underbase]]'s power. Thanks to Shockwave making personality back-ups of the Decepticons, he was successfully rebuilt, though a tad more unstable than he had been in his previous life. Ramjet didn't mind, especially since his death was among the many memories he had now lost. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 15|Ramjet's profile in Club magazine #15}}

Ramjet was part of Megatron's forces on Earth years after his initial destruction. When Skywarp was reactivated as well, Ramjet was the one to inform him that Starscream was to blame for his previous deactivation. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 14|Skywarp's profile in Club magazine #14}} When the Decepticons detected [[rarified Energon|a powerful source of energy]], the Decepticons, including Ramjet, were gathered to find and exploit it. They met with a squadron of [[human]] jet fighters, but the Decepticon jets easily took care of them. {{storylink|Crossing Over, Part 2}} When [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] attempted to assist the humans, Ramjet took his own name quite literally and physically knocked the Autobot aside. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 3}} In the following battle between Autobots and Decepticons, Ramjet provided airborne fire. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 5}} When Megatron ordered Ramjet and Starscream to enter the power source's chamber, Ramjet left Starscream behind to deal with Jetfire. Once deep inside, Ramjet spotted [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]] and other Transformers and claimed the energon for Megatron just before a bomb planted by Cliffjumper blew him aside. {{storylink|Crossing Over: Part 6}}

Despite the face-full of explosion, he recovered from the ordeal quickly and accompanied Starscream in his meeting with [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]], However, it turned out to be a ruse and Ramjet was [[cerebro-shell]]ed by [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] as part of Bug Bite's plan to gain revenge on and wrest control from Megatron. Interference from the Autobots freed the Decepticons from Bug Bite's control and Ramjet rejoined his group in battle against the traitors and Autobots. {{storylink|Games of Deception}}

At some point, Ramjet participated in an attack a human city with his old wingmen, Thrust and Dirge. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

===The Special Teams===
Ramjet was summoned by Megatron to raid a power plant of its energy, after it had been evacuated of its human occupants due to the danger of landslides in the area. As the Decepticons prepared to attack the [[Pullen Power Plant]], Ramjet nervously asked Megatron on what they were to do if they found the Autobots and Aerialbots guarding the location. Megatron dismissed Ramjet’s concerns, pointing out that the Decepticons had the Stunticons as their secret weapons. {{storylink|The Special Teams}}

===Kid Stuff Talking Story Books===
Catching the Dinobots flying on route from the Antarctic towards the Autobots’ headquarters, Ramjet and the rest of the Decepticon superjets attacked them in mid-air. Ramjet managed to catch Slag unawares, and damaged the Dinobot by ramming into his side. The Decepticons then broke off their attack. {{storylink|Jaws of Terror}}

Ramjet and the other Decepticon jets took part in a series of hit-and-run attacks on Autobot superjet forces around the Pacific Rim to draw attention away from their operations on the island of [[Buru]]. {{storylink|Slaves of the Insecticons}}

When the Decepticons learned that the Autobots had long ago lost a large shipment of Energon cubes at the Ark's original crash site, Galvatron ordered them to head to Mt. St. Hillary to uncover it. There, Ramjet fought the Autobots over possession of it. The brawl ended when Starscream scarfed down all of the Energon, and proceeded to pick a fight with Galvatron. {{storylink|The Lost Treasure of Cybertron}}

===''Find Your Fate Junior''===
{{notemultipath}}
====Earthquake====
In one possible sequence of events, Ramjet was one of the many Decepticons sent out to make sure the destruction of Center City went without incident. Unfortunately for Ramjet, a hidden team of Autobots were waiting for the Decepticons' arrival, and Ramjet was shot out of the sky.

In another possible scenario, Ramjet came upon Beachcomber, Buster and Jessie snooping around the Decepticons’ newest secret headquarters. After firing a few shots at the Autobot, Ramjet swooped down and captured Jessie, bringing her within the fortress.

In one possible scenario, Ramjet encountered an Autobot raid team infiltrating the Decepticons’ base. Though he was backed up by Buzzsaw and Skywarp, the three of them were felled in one blow by Optimus Prime.{{storylink|Earthquake (book)|Earthquake}}
{{-}}

====Desert Flight====
Ramjet was part of a Decepticon deployment stationed in a desert base. The Decepticons plotted to lure the Autobots in a trap through the use of an anti-gravity beam. Using the beam on a nearby human settlement, the Autobots would be duped into coming to the fleshliness’ rescue, only to be themselves trapped by the effects of the beam.

If the Autobots fell into the Decepticons’ trap, Ramjet, alongside Buzzsaw, Dirge, and Thrustt would swoop down upon their helpless prey for the kill. The Autobots destroyed, they would then turn off their gravity weapon, and force the townsfolk to drill oil to fuel the Decepticon army.

If the Autobots bypassed the anti-gravity field, Ramjet was part of the squad that intercepted the Autobot convoy headed for the Decepticon base, tasked with backing-up his squad leader, Dirge. He was taken out by Powerglide, and deprived of any backup, Dirge was forced to retreat.{{storylink|Desert Flight}}

{{-}}

====Decepticon Poison====
[[File:DecepticonPoisonMegatronFlying.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1]]
Ramjet was tasked with poisoning the Autobots’ latest batch of fuel with a poison which would prevent the Autobots from assuming their robot forms. He was spotted fleeing the area around the Autobot headquarters before all of Optimus’s troops had the chance to ingest the tainted fuel however, and as a result only about half of the Autobots were poisoned.

In one possible sequence of events, Ramjet then returned to the Autobots’ base, this time accompanied by Megatron and a number of Decepticon warriors. The squad met with the recently cured Autobots, and a fierce battle began between both sides. Ramjet was downed when Brawn threw a boulder at him, crippling his wing.

In another possible scenario, Megatron and his Decepticon squad were tricked into thinking that the Autobots were already dead, and strode into the Autobots’ base. The Decepticons lay down their weapons in order to carry out the Autobots’ “corpses,” but were ambushed once they had disarmed themselves. Ramjet and the others were then quickly defeated.

In another possible scenario, Ramjet led the led of a full-scale Decepticon assault. The Autobots, having miscalculated on how much antidote they had taken to cure themselves of the Decepticons’ poison, found themselves falling apart, leading to an easy victory for the Decepticons.

In yet another possible scenario, the Autobots weaponized the tainted fuel, lighting it aflame as the Decepticons approached the Autobot base. Ramjet was poisoned by the toxic fumes that emerged from the fire, and crashed in a nearby hillside.

In completely different possible series of events, Ramjet and Starscream had the bad habit of loudly gloating about the Decepticons’ plan to enslave the human race, unawares that there might be Autobot spies lurking in the shadows nearby.

If the Autobots snuck up on the two Decepticons, Starscream and Ramjet were quickly overpowered and forced to watch as the Autobots destroyed the lab. Optimus then gloated to the pair, telling them that the Autobots would soon be back in full fighting force, before driving off.

In one possible scenario that followed, Laserbeak, Ramjet and Skywarp were hauling tanks of poison out of the lab when the Autobots returned, after having stolen the antidote to the Decepticon’s poison from right under their noses.

One possible scenario saw the Autobots using Windcharger’s magnetic abilities to levitate the drums of poison above Ramjet and company, and then ignite the poison over the Decepticons’ heads. The Decepticons were forced to retreat as their lab was destroyed.

In a completely different possible sequence of events, Ramjet was one of the many Decepticons who attempted to poison a water supply facility in order to turn the nearby human population into mindless slaves. Whether or not the Decepticons succeeded depended on what choices the Autobots made. {{storylink|Decepticon Poison}}
{{-}}

====Autobot Alert!====
In one possible scenario, Ramjet accompanied Galvatron on a campaign to retrieve an ancient sphere of cybertite that contained the secrets to an ancient Autobot power-booster. Learning that the sphere was located within a sunken ship off the California coast, Ramjet and the others headed for its location.

If they found the Autobots in the middle of retrieving it, the Decepticons destroyed both the ship and the sphere, and proceeded to rain superior Decepticon firepower upon their foes.

If the Decepticons found the coast deserted, they retrieved the ship themselves, using the might of Devastator.

If Ironhide, Brawn and Grapple attempted to snatch the ship away from the Decepticons, Ramjet and his comrades destroyed the ship and the sphere contained within to keep it out of Autobot hands. The Decepticons then proceeded to pin down the Autobots in their hiding spots, leaving the heroic robots at their mercy.

If Springer, Topspin and Seaspray executed their plan to retrieve the sphere from Decepticon clutches, they successfully distracted the evil robots for long enough to whisk the cybertite sphere back to Metroplex. {{storylink|Autobot Alert!}}
{{-}}

====Project Brain Drain====
In one possible scenario, Ramjet was posted as a guard to keep safe the Decepticons’ lab. Disguised as an old building, the lab housed the Decepticons’ latest invention, a [[Brain Drain device]].

In the event that Sparkplug and Wreck-Gar attempted to infiltrate to lab and were caught by Soundwave, Ramjet was called over to block off the duo’d escape, alongside a whole detachment of Decepticons. If the pair surrendered, the Decepticons blew them up anyways. If Wreck-Gar and Sparkplug made a run for it, Ramjet was unable to halt them, and the Junkion motorcycle and his rider zoomed right past him. {{storylink|Project Brain Drain}}

===The Official ''Transformers: Generation 2'' Annual===
On Cybertron, Ramjet was rumored to be the Decepticon who had downed the most Autobot flyers, earning him a fearsome reputation. Upon awakening on Earth, Ramjet became quite pleased with his new form, and used it to lead more stealth-oriented attacks against the enemy. {{storylink|The Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual|Ramjet's ''The Official Transformers: Generation 2 Annual'' profile}}

When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] returned from a scouting mission with exciting news, Ramjet was among the Decepticons who gathered around to hear his report. Starscream's dramatic pausing throughout his story soon got on Ramjet's nerves, and he started walking away when Starscream blurted out that the Autobots had found the means to return to Cybertron. The Air Commander had eavesdropped on the Autobots, and learned that they had uncovered an ancient Cybertronian ship atop of [[Table Mountain]] in [[Africa]]. Naturally, the Decepticons attacked right away to take it for themselves. Ramjet, Skywarp, and Starscream buzzed the Autobots from above, distracting them from the approach of the Decepticons' ground forces as they scaled the mountain. The Decepticons thought they had won when the Autobots retreated, leaving the ship theirs for the taking. They realized they had been tricked when the vessel proved to be an Autobot trap that blasted them off into space uncontrollably. {{storylink|Day of the Decepticons}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
{{notekeepers}}
[[File:DWvol2 BrothersBurden Ramjet.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.]]
Soon after [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] had been selected as [[Prime (rank)|leader of the Autobots]], the Decepticons launched a massive attack on the Autobot stronghold in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Ramjet shot at a [[Guardian robot]] during this offensive, {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} and flew to the fore of the attack as the Decepticons managed to penetrate the last of the Autobots' defenses. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}}

''In the early days of the Decepticon offensive, Ramjet participated in the annihilation of the city-state known as [[Praxus]] and its inhabitants. At [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s behest, Ramjet shielded an unwitting Autobot named [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] from harm during the devastation, ensuring that one living survivor would live to tell the tale of the fall of Praxus... and the might of Megatron.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}

Ramjet was under the command of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] in his assault on the Autobot stronghold in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] shortly after the death of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] and the rise of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The War Within issue 3|The War Within #3}} After Megatron disappeared in a [[space bridge]] accident with Optimus Prime, Ramjet came to serve under Shockwave. {{storylink|Transformers: War Within: The Dark Ages|War Within: The Dark Ages}}

The [[Micromaster]]s were thereafter developed, and recruited to both side of the conflict. But when [[Barricade (G1)|Barricade]] joined the Decepticons, he soon learned that his larger compatriots didn't treat him with much respect; Thrust and Ramjet were among those who made it clear that they didn't see him as a ''true'' warrior. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}} When [[Skystalker (G1)|Skystalker]] took over the Decepticons and posed as Shockwave to retain command over the other full-sized Transformers in the ranks, Ramjet was among the troops duped by the diminutive 'bot into launching an all-out offensive, despite their resources being at an all-time low. {{storylink|Recipe for Hate}} During what was meant to be a suicide mission, the Decepticons nearly claimed victory against the Autobots... until both factions' Micromasters turned up to put an end to the conflict. After the miniature 'bots began brandishing about Shockwave's decapitated head, the Decepticon forces got spooked and fled the battlefield. {{storylink|Victims of the Revolution}}

After the [[Great Shutdown]], he continued working for Shockwave as one of his top agents, and joined his expedition to Earth to forcibly collect the crews of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] and ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|New World Order}} After Ultra Magnus arrived to take command of the team attempting to arrest the Optimus Prime's Autobots, Ramjet disobeyed orders and made a foolhardy dash for the Ark, only to be cut down in a hail of [[autogun]] fire. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}} Ramjet was once more operational by the time several insurgents started to rise up against Shockwave's rule. He flew over Iacon as the Dinobots rampaged through it, causing many explosions in their wake. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Ultimately, the Autobots were successful in overthrowing Shockwave's regime. After the battle's end, Ramjet was cuffed and escorted away from the battlefield. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Soon after Shockwave was dethroned, Ramjet escaped capture by Autobot authorities and met with Shockwave's remaining troops in the [[Wastelands]]. They remained there until the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] overthrew Shockwave in the name of Megatron, and Ramjet and the [[Conehead]]s returned to his control. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}}

Along with [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], Ramjet was one of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s personal bodyguards. After a failed attempt to stop [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]] from stealing [[energon cube]]s from them, the Decepticons tried to take control of [[Teletran 3]], but were stopped by [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 1|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #1}}

Eventually Magnus's force field around Teletran 3 went down, and Ramjet helped capture the Autobots and shoot [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] in the back. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #3}} He later attacked the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] in his Cybertronian jet mode, but how he fared in the battle is unknown. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 4|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #4}}

===''The Beast Within''===
Ramjet participated in a savage all-out Decepticon offensive against the Autobots. With the Decepticons maintaining the advantage throughout the battle, Ramjet was amongst those who approached a crippled Optimus Prime, ready to dispatch the Autobot leader. Before they could deliver the finishing blow, the Dinobots combined into [[Beast (G1)|The Beast]], shifting the Decepticons’ priorities. Ramjet joined several other flying Decepticons in a direct assault against The Beast, to little avail. The Beast then killed him. {{storylink|The Beast Within}} His corpse would later be one of many that littered the battlefield as Autobot survivors tried to escape the Beast. {{storylink|The Beast Within Part 2, Consequences}}
{{-}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[Man and Machine, Part Two|New Avengers/Transformers #2]] (apocryphal); [[Spotlight: Ramjet]]

Ramjet and several other Decepticons ambushed [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Orion Pax]]'s team of Autobots near the borders of [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], stopping them from apprehending [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]]. {{storylink|The Hunt for Soundwave}} He was then present at the [[Jump Joint]] during Orion's little chat with [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]], and was caught by surprise when the other Autobots came to rescue him. {{storylink|Cause and Effect}} Megatron then led him and several other Decepticons to [[Nyon]], where they prevented [[Zeta Prime]] from killing Orion Pax. {{storylink|Choices}} After Megatron and Orion joined forces to overthrow Zeta, the Seekers participated in the attack on his [[Citadel]]. {{storylink|Overthrown}}

With the death of Zeta Prime, Megatron took control of Cybertron and had his troops hunt down and arrest any Autobots who tried to resist. Ramjet helped capture [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]], [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]], and [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Hot Rod]] by cutting off the escape routes from their safe-house in [[Ultrix]]. {{storylink|Transformation (issue)|Transformation}} Ramjet battled against the Autobots when they made an assault on the [[Citadel]] but was intercepted by the newly recruited Aerialbots. {{storylink|Broadcast}}

Ramjet later fell under the command of [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], {{storylink|Wreckage (issue)|Wreckage}} who led him and the other Seekers on an attack on the [[Toraxxis mega-refinery]]. {{storylink|Faces of Darkness}} He later served as [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]'s escort during a retreat from [[Starsreach Spaceport]]. {{storylink|Unleashed}}

[[File:Ramjet ManAndMachine.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Okay, who looked at the actual toy!?]]
Ramjet was assigned as scout and guard to an energon convoy bringing supplies to Megatron. He was too busy complaining about Megatron's orders to stay on the ground to notice the approach of Optimus Prime and Ironhide. He noticed the butt of Prime's [[ion blaster]], though. Briefly. Painfully. Before blacking out. {{storylink|The Iron Age}}

Cybertron was rendered uninhabitable after [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s rampage, {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1|Stormbringer #1}} and some two hundred years ago Ramjet had joined up with [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]]'s [[Infiltration protocol|infiltration unit]] to successfully infiltrate and topple a backwater planet in the [[Huni System]]. No sooner had they finished laying waste to the planet when they encountered a swarm of [[Dire Wraith]]s led by [[Vekktral]]. The alien proposed an alliance of convenience: if the Decepticons helped them attack the [[Solstar Order]], their hated foes, the Decepticons would be free to steal the [[energon synthesizer]] that belonged to the orphaned Cybertronian [[Space Knight]] [[Stardrive]]. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 2|Shining Armor #2}}

The Decepticon-Wraith force subsequently infiltrated and laid siege to the ''[[Orchid Crossing]]'' over [[Xetaxxis]], engaging the Space Knights [[Rom]], [[Livia]], [[Auxin]], and [[Stardrive]]. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 1|Shining Armor #1}} They were unprepared, however, for the arrival of [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]], [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]], and [[Sky Blast (G1)|Sky Blast]]. In the chaos, one of the Wraiths attempted to merge with Sky Blast, but the resulting fusion only created an out-of-control monster that tore the station to bits. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 2|Shining Armor #2}} Ramjet and the other Decepticon fliers helped evacuate their Wraith partners to the icy planet below. Following the loss of the mutation, Ramjet joined the other Seekers as they flew to the wreckage of the ''Orchid Crossing'' and dogfought with the Space Knights. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 3|Shining Armor #3}}

The three coneheads continued to grapple with their organic enemies, and held out long enough for the Space Knights to refocus on dealing with an emotional Stardrive; Starscream ignored Ramjet's suggestion to strike then and there in favor of watching their enemies finish one another off. Though it appeared that help had arrived when a Vekktral-possessed Ultra Magnus intervened, the shapeshifting organics betrayed their Decepticon allies and began possessing them. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 4|Shining Armor #4}}

[[File:Spotlight-ramjet-big-plans.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|"...the Superstring Space Bridge will assure my eternal dominion over - what'd you call this? - oh yeah, eternal dominion over Dreamwave posing!"]]

In the modern day, Ramjet joined Megatron's unit on Earth as it was going into [[mirror response mode]] in [[Latveria]]. Due to his late arrival, Megatron didn't trust him yet, and thus refused to power him up using [[Spider-Man]]'s blood. Instead, Ramjet was assigned to guard the [[Psycho-Prism]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}} Disgruntled that Megatron didn't respect him, he seemingly ignored his duties and let [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]] pass by on his way to the prism... and into [[Doctor Doom]]'s trap. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}} However, Doom soon betrayed the Decepticons and led [[Wolverine (superhero)|Wolverine]] and some more Autobots to the Psycho-Prism. This time, Ramjet abandoned his duties for real and left without a fight, telling the heroes that causing Megatron's plans to fail was great, since it'd bring ''him'' one step closer to becoming [[Decepticon leader]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

[[File:Spotlight-ramjet-jetmode.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.2|And a few weeks later, he's evolved into his ''Classics'' toy.]]
Ramjet had aspirations to rule the universe and began to carry out a very ambitious plan to achieve this, one clearly too ambitious for his actual resources and chances but which his ego told his was working ''great''. With the 'help' of duped humans, a [[Harrison (G1)|sub-par facsimile]], and disinterested, fart-joke loving [[Mini-Constructicon]] units, he planned to acquire an [[Energon]] substitute, kill Megatron, destroy the United States, track and enslave all Cybertronians, mind-control the entire human race, and use a [[superstring spacebridge]] to dominate the galaxy. Unfortunately, Megatron had a simpler plan: beat Ramjet to death, tear out his spark, scatter his dismembered corpse across the world, and keep his severed head as a trophy. Megatron's plan worked. {{storylink|Spotlight: Ramjet}}

Ramjet's remains eventually found their way into the possession of [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]] and the [[Earth Defense Command]], who used them - as well as the remains of [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] - to create an army of [[Seeker clone]]s. {{Storylink|Earthfall Chapter 5: I Dream of Wires|I Dream of Wires}}

When he was called useless and ineffective, the only response Ramjet could muster up was a deep sigh. {{storylink|Lil Formers}}

===''Henkei! Henkei!'' pack-in manga===
Ramjet helped Starscream excavate [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] from the Arctic ice, asking the air commander how he knew the frozen Cybertronian as he worked. Starscream explained that they used to be old friends, and that their friendship would continue to propser thanks to a mind-control helmet he planned on using on the scientist. Later, several Decepticon jets, including Ramjet, staged an attack on a human power plant, and met against the Autobots during their raid. Skyfire broke free of Starscream's control during the attack and joined the Autobots, forcing the remaining Decepticons to retreat. {{storylink|Henkei! Henkei! volume 4|Henkei! Henkei! #4}}

Some time later, Ramjet, Skywarp, and Thundercracker had their alternate modes graffitied by a little kid. Flaming mad, they went after the kid, who was being sped to safety by [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]. The jets were able to catch up to them when Prowl pulled Sunstreaker over for speeding, but once he understood the situation, the 'cop-bot helped his fellow Autobot send the Decepticons packing. {{storylink|Henkei!

Ramjet participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! He appeared in two different bodies:
*''Ramjet'' — This Uncommon character could be recruited by collecting 65 units of Cybermetal, and 30 units of Transmetal.
*''Generation 2 Ramjet'' — This Super Rare character was available as a reward in the "Generation 2 Episode 1" event.
There's also a G2 Ramjet based on his Timelines toy which only appears in promotional images, including the "Transformers: Till All are One!" grand finale event.

*'''Weak Match-ups:'''
**Grimlock - Grimlock will easily Purify Ramjet’s Burn Debuffs leaving the jarring jet without one of his most powerful tools.
**Rhinox - Rhinox’s Shielding will be highly effective against Ramjet’s powerful Special Attacks. Additionally the Rhino-bot is resistant to Burn damage.
*'''Recommended Modules for Ramjet:'''
**Strange Refractor - Strange Refractor will mesh well with Ramjet’s up-close fighting style, turning the king of Stun into an absolute wrecking ball against his hapless opponents.
**Security Module - The Security Module will enhance Ramjet’s natural toughness, turning him into a tank….that flies.
**Transwarp Cell - Transwarp Cell will boost the chance Ramjet uses his Heavy Attack, since he is unstoppable during Heavy Attacks that is something you’ll want him to do often.

==Notes==
[[File:WhizBangNavyRamjetRedeco.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|In the NA-VY, in the NA-VY...]]
*Ramjet's name makes sense for the character, as he's a jet that rams into things. However, real-world {{w|ramjet}} are a specialized kind of jet engine with no moving parts. They have nothing to do with jets ramming into each other. And F-15s don't have 'em. (Although, the secondary engines on his non-F-15 wings ''could'' possibly be ramjets.) His French-Canadian name is a [[w:fr:Statoréacteur|reference to this kind of engine]] and totally misses the English pun.
*The original [[character model]]s of the coneheads all feature design elements simplified from [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]]'s robot mode stickers - which were themselves originally recolored from [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]]'s robot mode stickers.
*''Generation 2'' concept art revealed in the ''Transformers: Vault'' book shows an unreleased tanish variant on the Ramjet version of the original G1 Seeker toy (sans conehead configuration) that would have been named "[[Sandstorm (G2)|Sandstorm]]".
*Another hand-painted mock-up, this time of his original toy in "cloud camo" deco, is also known to exist. Whether it was ever meant to be taken into production and whether it was meant to be Ramjet or a new character is unknown. It was originally offered for sale in [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/4f98fe3d58bfe696/b1d0163d38587281?q=ramjet+whiz+bang+toys&pli=1 October of 2000] from Whiz Bang Collectibles, along with other items seemingly from a former Hasbro employee's collection.<ref>[http://www.toyarchive.com/Transformers/Prototypes/Generation2/RamjetRecolor1.html Blue Ramjet at Toyarchive.com]</ref>
*Ramjet was supposed to appear in the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' episode]] "[[Nemesis Part 2]]", alongside [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]] and [[Dirge (G1)|Dirge]], and have a kickass mid-air fight scene with the [[Maximal]]s, but this didn't happen due to budget constraints.
*IDW Ramjet was robbed of his conehead in "[[New Avengers/Transformers|Man and Machine]]". However, this proved to just be a mistake of the artist, as "[[Spotlight: Ramjet]]" depicted him in a form closely resembling his ''Classics'' toy.
*[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] once called Ramjet "'''RJ'''". {{storylink|Spotlight: Ramjet}}
*Transformers fan Robowang started a meme in his [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/1c7ef3ed5be91bf3?dmode=source alt.toys.transformers signature] which claimed that Ramjet likes toast. This sort of caught on, and was referenced subtly in [http://www.transformersclub.com/ramjet11.cfm ''Timelines'' Ramjet's online profile].

'''After a battle between Optimus Primal and Dinobot, a huge cache of energon is discovered.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:BeastWars2 bridge.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|I am the servant of the [[AllSpark|secret fire]], wielder of the [[Matrix Flame|flame of Anor]]! The [[The Fallen#Dreamwave Generation One continuity|dark fire]] will not avail you, flame of [[Pit|Udun]]! Go back to [[Unicron|the shadow]]!]]
[[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] challenges [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] to mortal combat for the leadership of the [[Maximal]]s. [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] wonders if the rest of them get a say, while [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] is indifferent and [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] offers to nail the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] himself. Optimus tries to talk sense to Dinobot, saying he's welcome to join the group, but not as leader. Dinobot is unimpressed; the two duel. Rattrap has to restrain Cheetor from joining in. Primal knocks Dinobot down, and the Predacon tells him to finish the job, but Optimus refuses, and Dinobot responds by blasting him, almost sending the Maximal leader over the edge. Dinobot helps him back up, stating that Primal slipped and that winning the fight that way would not have been honorable.

As they continue to fight, [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] and his crew arrive, taking the chance to attack both combatants. Primal transforms to [[beast mode]], pulling Dinobot out of the way of the missiles, but leaving the pair dangling over the ravine. Dinobot begins suffering from energon buildup, and pleads with Optimus to let him fall so that Optimus might save himself, but Optimus naturally refuses. The pair is saved at the last moment by Rhinox. This is the signal for another attack from the Predacons, which takes out the rock bridge. The Maximals (bar Rattrap, who has to be saved by Optimus) reach the other side of the bridge in time.

[[File:BeastWars2 maximals sight mountain.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|''The Hills Have Energon''... never coming to a theatre near you!]]
Megatron takes his frustrations out on [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]], but [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] points to where some of the Predacon missiles have struck a mountain, unveiling a massive cache of [[energon]] crystals. The Predacons set out for the mountain, but they're spotted heading for the energy crystals by the Maximals. Rhinox and Rattrap are ready to scrap Dinobot before starting out, but Optimus stops them. They set out for the mountain as well, though Rattrap is less than impressed with the news that Dinobot is coming too.

[[File:BeastWars2 Dinobot Rattrap glaring.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Oh, so you think you're better than me just because you're a Deluxe?" "Let's see how many times they've reused ''your'' mold, vermin."]]
En route, Rhinox suggests Optimus fly ahead using his jets, but Primal believes there's strength in numbers. They spot a strange [[Standing Stones|stone circle]], obviously artificially built, but are interrupted in their discussion by the arrival of Terrorsaur and [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]]. Optimus takes to the air and scares them off with a missile. As the two Predacons flee, Dinobot fires on them with his [[Optic weaponry|optical lasers]], inadvertently blasting the ledge above them. Rhinox is forced to leap aside as a boulder comes crashing down on him, and Rattrap accuses him of intentionally trying to slag Rhinox. Optimus orders him to stand down.

[[File:BeastWars2 Megatron and Optimus struggle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Darn it... how does [[King Kong]] ''do'' this trick?"]]
The Predacons arrive at the mountain, though as [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] points out, the energy will force them to remain in their beast modes. The Maximals arrive at roughly the same time, and both sides eye each other across a pass through the top mountain. After the prerequisite speech from Megatron, both sides charge and begin tearing into one another in beast form. Despite biting a chunk out of Optimus, Megatron is thrown aside and, as a last desperate gamble, transforms and fires a missile on Optimus. Dinobot throws himself between the pair, knocking the missile with his tail and saving Primal, but the missile begins a chain reaction. Both teams quickly flee.

As the Maximals watch the resultant explosions, Dinobot explains that his actions are payment of a debt—he owed Primal his life; now they are even. Primal says that's good enough for the moment, and proclaims that the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]] have begun.

==Quotes==
"I still live! Finish it." 
"That's not how we Maximals do things." 
"Then that will have to ''change!''"
:—'''Dinobot''' and '''Optimus Primal'''

"What are you doing? You'd won." 
"You slipped. To defeat you in such a manner would be lacking in honor. I would not have earned the right to lead. I prefer to beat my opponents the old fashioned way—BRUTALLY!" 
''[The two resume fighting]'' 
"For a Predacon, Dinobot, you have qualities I could like." 
"And you, ahh, have proved to be a worthy adversary. I will have you recycled with full honors." 
"Well, that's. Just. Prime!"
:—'''Optimus Primal''' and '''Dinobot'''

"The energon fields! I am shorting out." 
"Hang on! You can't transform in this position!" 
"Release me! Let me fall and save yourself." 
"Now, where's the honor in that?" 
''[Optimus's hold on the rock bridge weakens]'' 
"You have no choice." 
"Then we both go!"
:—'''Dinobot''' and '''Optimus Primal'''

"You're welcome." 
"You're the leader. It's your, ah, job."
:—A life-saving '''Optimus Primal''' and an ungrateful '''Rattrap'''

"Ease off, Rattrap! It was an accident." 
"Says you!" 
"That's right—says me! You wanna question my orders one. More. Time?" 
"I… ahhhh… ya, I don't trust Predacons."
:—'''Optimus Primal''' asserts command over '''Rattrap'''.

"Across the galaxy, it has come to this, Optimus Primal—face to face, tooth to claw. Yesss. Have you anything to say?" 
"I'd say that's prime. Let's do it."
:—'''Megatron''' and '''Optimus Primal''', just before the big fight begins

"It is over, Megatron!" 
"It is ''never'' over. Noooo! For if I must die, I shall take you with me!"
:—'''Optimus Primal''' and '''Megatron'''

"So for now, let the battle be here, on this strange primitive world. And let it be called...Beast Wars!"
:—'''Optimus Primal''' after the first of many battles.

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
* When Dinobot transforms to fight Optimus his knee-pads and the bones around his ankles are absent.
* Immediately after this, while approaching Optimus, Dinobot's spinning blades are severely shortened and misshapen, making them appear to have been chibified. Then, as he readies himself for the duel, Dinobot at one point pokes his sword through his own chest.
* While Dinobot makes a huge leap towards Optimus, his blade clips through his right ankle just before the shot cuts.
* In the following reaction shot of Primal, his left upper arm is on upside down. Then in the next shot, his sword is clipping through his left leg.
* Optimus clips his blade through his right ankle just before he smacks Dinobot.
* When Waspinator first transforms, the bee-stripes on his thighs are mapped along the wrong axis.
* When the Predacons open fire on the rock bridge, Tarantulas appears to be blasting missiles from his armpits. These also clip through Scorponok's shoulder as they fly.
* As the Maximals start for the Energon mountain and Rattrap is left behind, if you look closely you'll see Optimus' legs are messed up – they're stretched to the ground and don't move as he walks.
* After Waspinator transforms to attack the Maximals on the cliff side, both his feet are twisted to the side at an awkward angle.
* As Rattrap ducks behind the freshly-blasted boulder when the Maximals come under flying-Predacon fire, the barrel of his gun clips through the rock.
* The "energy surge" effect on Terrorsaur and Waspinator lags one frame behind them as they're blown out of the sky.
* Often, when the Energon mountain appears in the distance, a large piece of energon in the foreground clips and flickers, making it appear as though the Energon is appearing and disappearing at random. This also happens in the shot of the energon when Optimus first climbs to the top of the mountain (before Megatron appears on the other side).
* When Megatron transforms to [[robot mode]] near the end of the episode, he almost immediately suffers an Energon surge. However, he appears normal as he fires a missile at Optimus.
* Though Megatron takes quite a chunk out of Primal's left leg during the final battle, the damage disappears when the Maximals retreat.

===Continuity errors===
* During the scene with Dinobot, in the background, the ''Axalon'' is missing from its crash site.

* When the Maximals and Predacons are charging towards each other in the big fight, it is established that all combatants were running almost side-by-side. Yet in each of the closeups of each combatant, it seems they are the only ones actually charging in the small crevasse.

* After the energon mountain explodes and the Maximals are seen ducking for cover, every shot showing Optimus Primal and Dinobot in the foreground features none of the other Maximals in the background, even though they were seen standing behind the pair moments earlier, and both Rattrap and Rhinox are seen when Rattrap thinks they have won. Oddly enough, Cheetor is no longer in the scene at all.

* The very same scene features a lot of rubble from the destroyed mountain in close-ups of Rattrap and Rhinox, but relatively little rubble when Optimus Primal and Dinobot are in the foreground.
* Scorponok directs Megatron's attention to the missiles approaching the mountain. The missiles then hit the mountain, revealing it to be full of energon. There's no reason to believe Scorponok knew the energon was there, so why did he ''care'' about the imminent impact of the missiles?
* Megatron deciding to destroy the mountain is...questionable. Though Optimus Primal managed to throw him into a rock face, Primal himself was down and crippled, while Megatron appeared ready to keep fighting.

===Real-world references===
* The [[Standing Stones|standing stones]] glimpsed by Rhinox and Optimus have a strong resemblence to {{w|Stonehenge}}.
* When Rhinox charges him, Terrorsaur holds his wing out like a cape, in the style of a matador. Rhinox duely charges through it as Terrorsaur whips it back.

===Trivia===
* During the audio commentary for this episode on [[Madman Entertainment]]'s ''Beast Wars'' Season 1 DVD, [[Garry Chalk]]'s cell phone suddenly rings, forcing him to step outside, while [[Scott McNeil]] and [[Alec Willows]] crack jokes about it being Garry's mom on the line.
* At the end of the episode, Megatron transforms without his command code. The Maximals do the same when the Predacon fliers attack on the way to the mountain. This is a rarity in the early episodes, but becomes commonplace as the series progresses.

Transformers: Earth Wars

{{videogame

|publisher=[[Backflip Studios]]
|date=[[June 2]], 2016
|platform=Android, iOS
}}

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.
The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]].

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jefire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some wierd pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and defenses.
There are quite a lot of powerful powercores. They can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates.

Defensive Modules

*Auto cannon Exclusive:

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Upcoming characters

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]].
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime and Megatron still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based off of these [[IP infringing item|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based off of TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
** Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).

===Technical errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error| distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble #"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters sometimes walk in place for no reason for a few seconds.

These are just some minor visual errors, bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' (トランスフォーマー：アースウォーズ ''Toransufōmā: Āsu Wōzu'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''''Biànxíng Jīn'gāng: Dìqiú zhī Zhàn ''''' (变形金刚：地球之战, "Transformers: Earth Wars")

Wheeljack (G1)

:''Wheeljack is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Wheeljackg1.jpg|upright=1.95|thumb|[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]! I built a machine that builds machines that build catapults! Come see! Yeah, we can wait for Ratchet...]]
'''Wheeljack''' is his own worst enemy. Something of a crackpot inventor, a good half of his creations blow up in his face, and that's just if he's lucky. His constant need to invent increasingly complex devices stems from his desire to improve the Autobots' tech, but as a result he's simultaneously one of the Autobots' greatest assets and problems; for every successful gadget he builds, there's one which requires [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] or [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]] to put him (and his lab) back together. But once in a while he strikes gold, which has won him respect from even the Decepticons.

He is, however, not a ''complete'' nerd. As good as he is in the lab, Wheeljack is just as amazing on the road: there are few stunts he can't pull off, and he loves to show off his driving skills as much as he does his inventions. He is, however, a little less confident when it comes to [[flight|flying]], which he accomplishes using solid-fuel rocket jets in his forearms.

As an [[Action Master]] Wheeljack utilizes another of his inventions, the dual-mode [[Turbo Racer]], to get around quickly. In some universes he can [[Combiner|combine]] with his fellow Autobots to form [[Sky Reign]].

{{main|Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}

Part of the crew of the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Wheeljack served as [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s top scientist during the early years of the Autobot-Decepticon conflict on Earth. His creations tended to backfire on him, such as the unruly Dinobots. His inventions also tended to backfire on him, such as his Immobilizer. And everything else tended to explode on him (''see image at left''). Regardless, he remained Prime's top scientist until his death in 2005 during the [[Battle of Autobot City]].

In a splinter timeline, Wheeljack would have better luck with his inventions and his survival, escaping his supposed death in 2005. That same year, he received a new [[Binaltech]] body, but lost it due to time travel. In 2011, he joined the [[Disaster Relief Team]] to assist Autobots caught in the destruction of Cybertron. Then, in 2015, he revived the deceased [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] as [[Victory Leo]]. And during the G-2 Wars, he discovered the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]], which kept Optimus Prime from dying again.

===Marvel coloring books===
Wheeljack built a ship for the [[Autobot]]s to use. They got the chance to when [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] decided to try to raid sunken ships full of treasure. {{storylink|Search for Treasure Under the Sea}} After the [[Decepticon]]s captured [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]] and [[Buster Witwicky (G1)|Buster Witwicky]], Wheeljack, and [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] were badly damaged in the battle to rescue the two humans. Sparkplug fixed them both up and they subsequently helped repel a Decepticon attack on [[Hoover Dam]]. {{storylink|The Deadly Fuel Shortage}}

===Big Looker storybooks continuity===
When the Cybertronian civil war had yet to leave the planet, Optimus asked his Autobots to join him in leaving their home world behind and travel out into space. When Bumblebee volunteered to join Optimus, Wheeljack and the rest of the Autobots jumped in as well. After crash-landing on Earth and being offline for about 65 millions years, Wheeljack and the rest of the Autobots met Sparkplug and his son Spike. With the Decepticons still not in the know of what forms the Autobots had taken, Wheeljack was one of the troops that Optimus led into the desert in order to ambush their enemies. Though they successfully took by surprise a squadron of Decepticons, the Autobots had not anticipated a second group flying in from the opposite direction. Thanks to a warning from Spike and Sparkplug, the Autobots managed to fend off the Decepticons, and came to accept Earth as their new home. {{storylink|Battle for Cybertron}}

===Ladybird Books continuity===
The Autobots were low on valuable Cybertronian materials such as [[cybernite]]. When Kup suggested a salvage expedition to an old battle field near a mountain valley, Ultra Magnus assembled Wheeljack, [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], and [[Grapple (G1)|Grapple]] to go with him. Their expedition was cut short by a Decepticon air raid, however. Later, Kup commissioned Wheeljack and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] to help him crystallize an idea for blinding the Decepticon space stations who spotted them for the air raid. {{storylink|Galvatron's Air Attack}}

===''S.T.A.R.S.'' continuity===
When [[Johnny (G1)|Johnny]] spotted [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] stealing energy, he called his Autobot allies through his S.T.A.R.S. control center. Wheeljack was amongst those who responded to Johnny's call. {{storylink|Have the Decepticons defeated us once and for all?}} Wheeljack and the other Autobots struggled against Thundercracker energy-syphoning powers. {{storylink|Can one boy, alone, hold back the evil Decepticons?}} What happened afterwards is not known.

Later, Ultra Magnus pleaded for [[you]] to "requisition" Wheeljack and other Autobots in order to combat the Decepticon threat. Using the human power known as "imagination," S.T.A.R.S. recruits could perceive what it was like to be Wheeljack. {{storylink|You Have Been Chosen.}}

Before the construction of Autobot City on Earth, Optimus led a convoy of Autobots to find the ideal location for their new base's construction. Wheeljack was amongst the troops accompanying Optimus. As they drove along, the Autobots were ambushed by the Decepticons. The battle that ensued later came to be known as "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]." {{storylink|Rodimus Prime remembers the Transformers greatest battle on Earth.}} {{storylink|The Autobots Are Under Attack!}}

====Dinobots Strike Back====
As Optimus Prime assigned [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] to inspect signs of Decepticon activity around [[Dolphin's Bay]], Wheeljack looked up when he heard the word "''underwater''". He claimed that the mission would be a good chance to test out the [[Star mini-submarine|new mini-submarine]] he'd been building. Optimus agreed, and Wheeljack programmed it by remote control to meet the two Autobots at the bay. {{storylink|Dinobots Strike Back}}

====Attack of the Insecticons====
Wheeljack was present, yet mostly uninvolved, in a number of possible adventures revolving around the Sun-Pak, a device invented by Sparkplug that would end the Autobots' energy woes. {{storylink|Attack of the Insecticons}}
{{-}}

====Desert Flight====
Wheeljack was part of a group of the Autobots’ best scouts, led by Optimus on a fuel-finding mission. When the convoy heard a large explosion in the distance, Optimus sent Cosmos to investigate the noise.

If Cosmos radioed his findings to Optimus immediately, Optimus’s convoy moved in to investigate a nearby Decepticon base. En route, the Autobots passed near a human town and noticed that they had begun floating in mid-air as they approached it. Evidently, the phenomenon was caused by a Decepticon anti-gravity weapon.

If Optimus ordered his troops to come to the humans’ aid, they found themselves taking part in a struggle in futility, as the entire town was near-weightless, meaning they couldn’t put the humans anywhere where they wouldn’t float away once more. Then, the Autobots heard Decepticons approaching. Helpless in their current position, the Autobots were quickly eradicated by the Decepticons.

If Optimus ordered his troops to attack the Decepticon base, they soon reached an area free of the anti-gravity beam’s influence. They were then attacked by a small fleet of Decepticons. The Decepticons were quickly forced to break off their attack and retreated. But with the battle over, the Autobots noticed a small human boy at their feet. The Autobots then headed for the Decepticon base, with their stowaway. Megatron delivered an ultimatum; if the Autobots did not surrender Optimus Prime to the Decepticons immediately, he would use his gravity beam to have the nearby humans float off into space.

If the Autobots decided to continue with their initial plan to simply attack the Decepticon base, their advance was halted by a force field. Megatron then fired his beam in all directions, causing a ripple effect that sent everything not fastened down to the Earth’s surface to float helplessly out into space.

Alternatively, the Autobots could concoct a plan where Optimus would pretend to allow himself to be taken prisoner, per Buddy’s suggestion. In actuality, Wheeljack and the rest of the Autobots were hidden away inside Optimus’s trailer. The Autobots then led a surprise attack on their unsuspecting foes.

In one possible turn of events, Wheeljack and the rest of the Autobots leading the attack were turned to scrap metal when Windcharger failed to disable the Decepticons’ forcefield.

In a completely different possible sequence of events, wherein Cosmos had taken off to explore the Decepticon base on his own, The Autobot convoy were surprised to see two Cosmoses flying back towards them some time later. Both Cosmoses declared themselves to be the real one, and urged Optimus to destroy the other.

If Optimus destroyed the wrong Cosmos, the duplicate obliterated Wheeljack and the rest of the Autobots with the [[proton bomb]] it housed within its body.

If Optimus destroyed the duplicate Cosmos, the real one would inform the Autobots of the Decepticons’ schemes, and the convoy would roll out to take on their adversaries. They were soon met by a squad of flying Decepticons, but were at a strict disadvantage against their adversaries as their vehicle modes possessed no weapons. The Autobots nonetheless managed to fight their way to the Decepticons’ base, one way or another, and defeated the Decepticons by using their own gravity weapon against them.{{storylink|Desert Flight}}

[[File:Skidswheeljackgrimlockkupironhidetww.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Box!]]
Wheeljack suffers from a mild form of [[mode attachment]], feeling more comfortable in his vehicle mode than [[robot mode]]. As a consequence he does his best thinking in vehicle mode, often while attempting something insanely dangerous. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}}

Wheeljack was part of Grimlock's unit, along with [[Kup (G1)|Kup]] and [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]], at the time when [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] died and Optimus Prime rose to command the Autobots. {{storylink|The War Within issue 1|The War Within #1}} When the Decepticons placed [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] under siege, Grimlock took Wheeljack and the rest of his team deep within the planet, where the new Prime was battling [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] for his life. {{storylink|The War Within issue 4|The War Within #4}} The team stumbled upon the [[Planetary engine|planetary turbines]] that Starscream was planning to activate to mechaform the planet. Learning the Decepticon's plan, Grimlock had his team split up; he would continue searching for Optimus Prime, while Wheeljack and the others were to shut down the turbines. But while they were listening in to Starscream's plan, the Autobots were spotted by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. {{storylink|The War Within issue 5|The War Within #5}} The Autobots barely managed to hold their own until Grimlock returned with Optimus in tow. Optimus quickly took command of the situation, and instructed Wheeljack to shut down the engines in a... creative way. Wheeljack grumbled a bit that all his education and mechanical engineering skill had led up to just blowing things up. He nonetheless accomplished his task while the rest of his team provided him cover. With the Decepticons driven off, the group managed to return to Iacon, where Prime halted his order to abandon the planet. {{storylink|The War Within issue 6|The War Within #6}}

When Prime and Megatron disappeared during a [[space bridge]] explosion, Grimlock broke off from the Autobot army and formed the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]], taking his former squad members with him. While Kup and the Dynobots attacked the [[Predacon (War Within)|Predacons]], Wheeljack and Ironhide hijacked some shuttles carrying raw [[energon]], making Starscream very angry. That's always a plus. {{storylink|Fragmentation (G1)|Fragmentation}} Afterwards, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] managed to unite the Autobots once more, and under his leadership gained a significant hold over Cybertron's resources and territories. This eventually forced the [[Ultracon]]s and Shockwave's Decepticons to sign a peace treaty with the Autobots. With Cybertron on the verge of peace, Wheeljack was put in charge of the Tyger Pax's defenses. As predicted by the Autobots, Starscream and his Predacons struck to disrupt the peace signing, sending in transports filled with explosives to level the whole area. Grimlock ordered Wheeljack to enact emergency protocol Hydra-Nine in response to the attack, prompting Wheeljack to encase many of the attendees within a forcefield, sparing them from the ensuing explosion. Though the Autobots, Ultracons, and Decepticons stood united against these aggressors, any chance at long-term peace was shattered when Megatron made a dramatic return. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath|The Age of Wrath #1}} After Megatron took over, Wheeljack ended up in [[Internment Camp Pi]] with many of his fellow Autobots. {{storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.2|The Age of Wrath #2}}

{{unreleased WW comic}}
Optimus returned to Cybertron, and the Autobots were freed from slavery. {{Storylink|The Age of Wrath Pt.6}}

Wheeljack was one of the engineers that designed and constructed the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', and part of the ship's original crew. In 1986, Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] discovered Wheeljack in pieces but functional after an explosion while bug-testing his neutron detonator shell. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|Wheeljack's ''More Than Meets The Eye'' profile}} ''He was also responsible for temporarily transferring the consciousness of Spike Witwicky into a Cybertronian body, though the full story remains untold. {{storylink|Transformers: Hardwired|Hardwired}}''

Wheeljack was among the Transformers involved in the ''[[Ark II]]'' disaster. He survived the explosion of their spacecraft, crashing back to Earth where he and several others lay deactivated and frozen within an iceberg until awakened by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] in 2002. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 2|Prime Directive #2}}

[[File:Wheeljack dw6.jpg|thumb|Wheeljack calms a group of panicked humans by charging at them while brandishing a weapon.]]
After helping clean-up the damage caused by Transformers under the control of [[Lazarus]], Wheeljack participated in the assault on the human terrorist's Canadian headquarters. There, they found that all Decepticons under Lazarus's control had already freed themselves, and the battle between the two factions began anew. This brawl was interrupted when [[Robert Hallo|General Hallo]] betrayed the Autobots, and attempted to bomb both them and the Decepticons out of existence. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 3|Prime Directive #3}} The blast was mostly absorbed by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[cyber-virus]], previously unleashed by the Decepticon leader, allowing it to expand violently. Wheeljack and [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] were the first Autobots to free themselves from its envelopement. Once Optimus had pried himself free as well, he set Wheeljack to task, instructing him to find some way to counter Megatron's doomsday weapon. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4|Prime Directive #4}} While Prime took some of the Autobots after Megatron, Wheeljack diagnosed the nature of the cyber-virus, and created a set of anti-viral blasters that used the Autobots' energy to return the converted matter to normal. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 5|Prime Directive #5}} The intervention of Canada's military force scuttled that plan when they fired into the virus, expanding it beyond the point the Autobots could contain. In response, Wheeljack converted a nearby satellite dish into a giant anti-viral weapon, channeling all of his remaining energy into it. He succeeded in destroying the virus, but was left in deep stasis lock as a result. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6|Prime Directive #6}}

''Several months later, Ratchet had successfully restored Wheeljack to operating status. He was one of the first Autobots Optimus Prime met back up with after escaping the [[Keeper (species)|Keepers]]' world and [[Las Vegas]]. While on patrol of the area, Wheeljack passed [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] travelling up the road towards the Autobots' location. He buzzed the Decepticon's position, and was surprised when Soundwave asked for a parlay. He claimed Megatron wanted a favor from Prime. Bemused, Wheeljack reported back to Optimus about the bizarre encounter, only to have his amusement turn to astonishment when Optimus Prime actually responded to Megatron's "summons". The two old enemies forged an alliance against the Keepers, and united their forces for battle in Las Vegas. During the fight, Wheeljack used his solid-fuel rockets to fly with the Decepticons [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] and [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] in the skies, acting as air support for the others. He returned to Prime's side in the final battle, when the Autobot leader used the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to divert the Keepers and the power of a nuclear explosion into another dimension.'' {{storylink|Transformers: Annihilation|Annihilation}}

The Autobots were entrenched in combat against the Decepticons in [[Alaska]], fighting over a crashed ship, when [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and his squad of Triple-Changers ambushed them. Shockwave denounced all Earthbound Transformers as war criminals and demanded they surrender in the interest of peace. Shockwave killing [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], the passenger of the downed ship, did little to convince the Autobots about the sincerity of his claim; that Cybertron had been peacefully united during their absence. The Autobots retreated from the battlefield while the Decepticons were taken captive. Wheeljack and the other more wounded Autobots returned to the Ark to mend their wounds while a scouting party remained about to learn more about the new arrivals. {{storylink|New World Order}} [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] next made his presence known as one of Shockwave's enforcers, come to arrest the Autobots under the pretense that leaving them be might ignite old passions and start Cybertron's Civil War anew. Wheeljack was one of the Autobots secretly left behind by Optimus Prime under Jazz's command, while he surrendered himself to Magnus. {{storylink|Brothers' Burden}} Jazz, Windcharger, and Brawn headed back out to the Alaskan battlefield afterwards to retrieve Scourge's remains, only to find that they had mysteriously vanished. Jazz called Wheeljack to ask if it was possible that Scourge had somehow survived his injuries, but Wheeljack denied such a possibility; Shockwave's blast had been decidedly fatal. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}}

After the end of Shockwave's despotic rule over Cybertron, the Autobots on Cybertron made contact with Wheeljack's crew for an update and promised to send supplies. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}} Unfortunately, Starscream arrived on Earth first, backed up by a small cadre of soldiers. Wheeljack and company managed to stave off an initial attack from the Decepticons, only for Starscream to unleash his trump card on the battlefield: [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Like most of team, Wheeljack was beaten to the point of stasis lock by the combiner, and dumped into a lake. {{storylink|Night of the Combaticons}} {{storylink|Black Sunshine}} He was eventually fished out by [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]] and [[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]] (who had arrived from Cybertron with Bumblebee with supplies), but they were waylaid by [[Earth Defense Command]]. {{storylink|The Omega Effect}} The humans then took Warpath, Bumper, Wheeljack, and the rest of the unconscious Autobots to a secret underground facility. {{storylink|Atonement}} There, the EDC began fixing the Autobots, though Wheeljack was among the last ones back on their feet. He was still being worked on when most of the other Autobots had been brought back online and accompanied [[Marissa Faireborn]] in a mission to [[San Desto]]. {{storylink|Infestation (Dreamwave)|Infestation}}

Wheeljack was back in working order after the completion of the San Desto mission, and made sure to congratulate the EDC's "grease monkeys" on the bang-up job they did in restoring him. The Autobots then said their goodbyes to their human allies, {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} and traveled to Alaska. There, Wheeljack expressed his concerns over their lack of a proper facility necessary for long-term operations on Earth. Ratchet assured him that steps had already been taken to deal with this issue before leading him to Prowl and the Autobots under his command, currently working on the foundation of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]]. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
When the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' crashed on Earth millions of years ago, Wheeljack and [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] were sealed off from the other passengers, saving them from [[Cobra]] when they found the craft in 2003 and reprogrammed the dormant robots for their own needs. Cobra's break-in activated [[Teletraan I|Teletran-One]], who in turn brought back Wheeljack and Bumblebee. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4}}

[[File:GIJoevsTF3 Wheeljack rams twins.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Brooklyn Rage!]]
Disguising themselves as cars, the two Autobots worked for months to find and rescue the other Autobots from Cobra. After noting several attacks on energy plants, Wheeljack figured that the humans were gathering ingredients for [[energon]], and had an idea on where their next attack would take place. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 2|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #2}} During Cobra's subsequent assault on the [[SPS Research Facility]], the Autobots intervened directly, with Wheeljack ramming the brainwashed duo of [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] (and apologizing). He then confronted [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]], but the reprogrammed Decepticon fled as soon as Cobra had stolen what they came for. Having revealed themselves to [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] during the battle, Wheeljack and Bumblebee offered an alliance with the humans, who in return showed the Autobots a mysterious image of Soundwave they had found. Wheeljack recognized the text in the picture as [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian]], and that it contained directions to [[Cobra Island]] as well as instructions on how to free the Transformers. It took him only a few seconds to hack into Cobra's computers and undo their primitive human reprogramming. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3}}

Wheeljack and Bumblebee then boarded a plane to participate in G.I. Joe's attack on Cobra Island, but the humans' higher-ups disagreed, planning to nuke the island and send the two Autobots to [[Area 51]] to be disassembled and studied instead. [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] regretfully incapacitated the robots with a magnetic pulse, but Wheeljack stayed conscious enough to overhear their plans and warn Hawk that a nuclear impact on Cobra's energon stockpile would cause a chain reaction and send half the planet into a nuclear winter. With this revelation, Hawk broke orders and went with the original strategy, taking Wheeljack and Bumblebee with him to Cobra Island. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 4|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #4}}

[[File:GIJoevsTF6 Wheeljack threatens Mindbender.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|I've got the computer virus at last!]]
Upon arriving at the island, Wheeljack witnessed Megatron using the [[SPS Satellite]] to create more energon, and was enraged when [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] killed [[Hound (G1)|Hound]]. After helping take down the giant, Wheeljack patched through a message to all Autobots that the United States had decided to nuke Cobra Island despite having their own troops located there. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 5|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #5}} Wheeljack quickly improvised a plan to avoid a nuclear holocaust; using the SPS Satellite's solar-powered energy beams to shoot down the nuclear warheads before they arrived. After menacing [[Doctor Mindbender]] into overriding the satellite controls, Wheeljack helped G.I. Joe fight off a bunch of Cobra troops led by [[Storm Shadow]]. The plan was ultimately a success, and with the Decepticons defeated in the process, the Autobots returned to Cybertron aboard a new ''Ark''. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 6|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #6}}

Two years later, Wheeljack was zapped by a malfunctioning [[Teletran 3]] and transported into a random point in Earth's timeline. He was never seen again. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II issue 1|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #1}}

[[File:Hound Wheeljack-The Iron Fist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
Wheeljack was among the Autobots that lay buried on the [[Fera Islands]], only to be awoken in [[1939]] when [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] came to battle [[Cobra]] and the Decepticons. Along with [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and several Joes, he rescued several chained Cobra slaves that had fallen into the ocean. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] later reported that both Wheeljack and Hound had been killed in battle, but he was apparently mistaken, as the scientist was still around when [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] was unleashed. Upon examining the giant, Wheeljack noticed that it was some kind of hybrid of human and Cybertronian technology, and most likely wasn't really "alive". When the [[Matrix of Leadership]] was destroyed in order to kill Bruticus, Wheeljack and all other Transformers present were deactivated as well. {{storylink|The Iron Fist}}

===''Transformers Legends'' anthology===
When a badly-damaged Starscream turned up on the Autobots' doorstep, Wheeljack argued strongly for allowing himself and Ratchet to take a look at the Decepticon's logic circuits, and possibly see if there was any way to make him a little less hostile. Prime eventually agreed, and when an amnesiac Starscream awoke and acted quite benign, Wheeljack seemed vindicated. Starscream even chose staying with the Autobots over returning to the Decepticons, however when his memories returned, he immediately fled back to his old comrades. Though Wheeljack was disappointed, Prime said it proved that the Decepticons were not beyond changing their ways. {{storylink|Redemption Center}}

When Ratchet began feeling lost and disillusioned while on Earth, he began going on more and more combat missions, increasingly leaving his medical duties in the hands of Wheeljack, Perceptor, and Sparkplug. This presumably stopped after he had a perception-changing experience in a chance meeting with [[Stitch|a disabled war veteran]]. {{storylink|Healers, Fighters, and Transformers}}

[[File:Spy Changer Wheeljack RR.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|What happened to your missile launcher?]]
In [[Primax 085.0 Eta]], Wheeljack was selected to be a member of a team which was to travel to [[Gargent 087.0 Kappa|an alternate universe]], designated the 22nd Strata, to find and stop the source of a series of natural disasters which were threatening [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], and [[Bluestreak (G1)|Silverstreak]] comprised the rest of the team; they dubbed themselves [[Spy Changer]]s because they aimed to achieve their goal with stealth and diplomacy. The Spy Changers modified their bodies to match the native cyborgs using data acquired from the [[Sky Spy]] and traveled to the 22nd Strata but were soon attacked by the local [[Guardian (GoBots)|Guardian]]s, who mistakenly presumed them to be [[Renegade]]s. The Spy Changers were then rescued by the real Renegades, who presumed them to be potential allies and took them back to their flagship, the ''[[Rogue Star]]''. Renegade leader [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]] attempted to court the Spy Changers as allies, but Optimus saw through Cy-Kill's deception. Eventually, the Autobots formed a secret alliance with the Guardians, and Wheeljack discovered the cause of Cybertron's troubles: Renegade bases on Moebius were draining the planet's energy. The planet's geometry had turned it into a crude [[Dimensional Interfacer]], and Moebius was tapping into Cybertron to sustain itself. Hoist was able to end the crisis by triggering the bases' remote detonation sequence. Cy-Kill was furious, but in the ensuing battle, the Autobot-Guardian alliance triumphed over the Renegades. Optimus Prime and [[Leader-1 (GoBots)|Leader-1]] shook hands, and the Autobots returned to their home reality, secure in the knowledge that they had allies in places as distant as alternate realities.

The Cybertronians and GoBots had further encounters. In one instance, the Renegades tricked the Guardians into leaving Earth and then sealed the Guardians out with an [[Embargo Field]]. Stranded behind the field, Guardians [[gbwiki:Nick Burns|Nick]] and [[gbwiki:Tri-Trak|Tri-Trak]] used the [[Reality Beacon]] to contact the 1st Strata for help. Wheeljack and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]], who was also upgraded into a Spy Changer body, subsequently traveled to the other Earth to assist. With Trailbreaker's expertise in force fields, they discovered the source of the Embargo Field in the [[Eiffel Tower]]. Trailbreaker, Wheeljack, and Tri-Trak confronted [[gbwiki:Crain Brain|Crain Brain]] and [[Doctor Go|Dr. Go]], defeating the villains and taking down the field. Renegades worldwide retreated as the Guardians returned en masse. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/30}}

The components necessary for building "Construct-Bot" Wheeljack were accessible within the Cybertron construction zone. Despite it being against protocol, [[you]] could mix his parts with those of Decepticons! (gasp!) {{storylink|Construct-Bots Builder}}

===''Transformers Legends''===
The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] began behaving erratically, so Wheeljack used his [[magnetic inducer]] on [[Slag (G1)|Slug]] while [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] kept them distracted. Wheeljack took as scan of Slug, but the data was corrupted, so he had to use [[Teletraan I]] to repair it. {{storylink|Day of the Dinobots - Part 1}} When the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] attempted to infiltrate the base to strike at Teletraan, Wheeljack was part of [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]'s team which tried unsuccessfully to halt their progress. {{storylink|Heavy Metal War - Part 1}} Wheeljack joined a team led by [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] to help track down the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]]. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives (Legends)|Call of the Primitives}}

Optimus and Wheeljack returned to Autobot HQ after an absence to find Grimlock had taken leadership. Though they failed to resist him, he soon bored with leading the Autobots and let Optimus take command again. {{storylink|Me, Grimlock, King}} In an attempt to save [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] when the boy was injured during a battle, Wheeljack transferred Spike's mind into [[Autobot X (G1)|Autobot X]]. Things went horribly wrong, but Wheeljack later successfully transferred Spike's mind back into his healed body. {{storylink|Autobot X (Legends)|Autobot X}}

At some point Wheeljack teamed up with [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Misfire (G1)|Misfire]] to combat [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] and his allies. {{storylink|Fan Favorite}}

{{voiceactor|[[Christopher Swindle]]}}
Wheeljack assisted Optimus Prime in opposing Megatron's scheme and stopping the cyberforming of Earth. He upgraded the Autobots' weapons and built T.E.C.H. for them on the Ark, and also provided technical expertise in the field. While he preferred to leave the fighting to Grimlock and Sideswipe, he was more than capable of adjusting a Decepticon's attitude with a well-placed smack from his wrenches or some pinpoint blaster fire. {{storylink|Transformers: Devastation}}

When it comes to improvisation, Wheeljack is in a whole other league to [[Hoist (G1)|most]] mechanical engineers, and that flair for thinking outside the box applies to his battlefield tactics too. "Never do what the enemy ''expects''." is his approach to warfare, and it's served him very well.

He has a knack for whipping up wild new gadgets, often out of whatever scrap metal and power cells are to hand, though it has earned him something of a 'mad doctor' tag. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Wheeljack Bio}}

Wheeljack arrived in time to help out in the battle for the Codex Key.

Wheeljack also helped Optimus perfect the Combining process, along with Perceptors help.

{{bigquote|Don't let your enemies dictate what you do.}}

Four million years ago, Wheeljack travelled with Optimus on the Ark away from an energy depleted Cybertron. Bluestreak once described Wheeljack as "a fellow who can make nuclear bombs out of scrap metal and rust buckets." Wheeljack became renowned as a "mad scientist" for creating gadgets for the Autobots that will optimize their performance in combat. Furthermore, his driving skills are superb enough to make any Hollywood hero envious.

In battle, Wheeljack wielded the laser powered "[[Stillson Wrench]]" and the bubble blasting "[[Fusion Ray Gun]]". His active skill was "Backup Firepower":
*'''Backup Firepower''' — Wheeljack calls forth 2 levitating turret drones to fight by his side. If Wheeljack dies in battle, the turrets will initiate a kamikaze protocol to kill Wheeljack's opponent(s), resulting in extensive damage. {{storylink|Transformers Online (2016 video game)|Transformers Online}} <ref>[http://tfol.qq.com/act/a20160726data/hero13.shtml Wheeljack profile on the Transformers Online website]</ref>

==Notes==
*Wheeljack has the distinction of being the first Transformer to appear in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original ''The Transformers'' cartoon]], and thus the first one to appear in any animated story.
*In Japanese continuity, Wheeljack is portrayed as being older than most Autobots; he talks like an old man and is even referred to as one by ''[[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]]'', of all people, in the dub of "[[Heavy Metal War]]". According to the Japanese PlayStation 2 ''[[The Transformers (PS2)|Transformers]]'' game, he is significantly older than [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], old enough to tell him to "respect your elders". Also, he is younger than Kup, but still enough of age to share old man stories with him.
*Storyboards for ''The Transformers: The Movie'' show Smokescreen lying dead next to Windcharger instead of Wheeljack. The establishing shot of the launcher near where Wheeljack's remains lie even show a Smokescreen-colored Wheeljack corpse. Older versions of the movie script in fact feature Wheeljack alive and well after the Battle of Autobot City, having merely been knocked unconscious. He and several other Autobots take part in a plotline that involved saving Earth from Unicron's siphoning hose that was draining the Earth's energy and would ultimately destroy it.
*In a continuity where [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|most of the time]], most [[Flight|Autobots can't fly]] under their own power, one of the few Autobot cars explicitly described as being capable of flight is Wheeljack—whose [[alternate mode]] and color scheme come from a {{w|File:Lancia Stratos Turbo.jpg|racecar}} sponsored by a {{w|Alitalia|certain airline}}. Coincidence? (Maybe Wheeljack only gets to fly because his ''[[Diaclone]]'' had wings—but then, maybe the ''Diaclone'' had wings because of the "Alitalla" airline.)

:''Arcee is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:ArceeG1-2010storypage.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|These aren't high heels, they just forgot to finish building my feet.]]
Most make the mistake of noticing only '''Arcee'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Female Transformer|gender]], but these first impressions are quickly expanded upon. Arcee is a merciless and deadly warrior who's an expert in hand-to-hand combat and one of the best sharpshooters on record. The reason for her ferocity is how much she cares for her fellow Autobots and especially the [[human]]s they protect. She knows how fragile her organic companions are, and she's equally aware of the evils the [[Decepticon]]s are capable of. Peers such as [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] may be more durable than the humans, but she no less fights to defend them as well. They get in plenty of trouble, so someone has to be the level-headed one. (Some believe Arcee has a [[Transformer romance|romantic]] attraction to either of those two, but that depends on who and when you ask.)

If concern for her friends is her strength, it's regrettably also her weakness. If anything would happen to, say, [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], she might just completely lose it. And she may be quick, but she's not very strong.

She's also [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]'s "[[Relatives|great-aunt]]".

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
[[File:ArceeTFMovie.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
{{main|Arcee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity}}
A close associate of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], Arcee fought in both the [[Battle of Autobot City]] and the [[Unicron War]] in 2005. Following that, she continued working closely with Rodimus Prime as one of his primary warriors. In 2006, she binary bonded with [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] to save his life, becoming a Headmaster.

In a splinter timeline, Arcee was a member of the [[Female Autobots]] and fought in the resistance against the Decepticons on Cybertron while Optimus Prime's crew lay dormant on Earth. In 2011, Arcee had not become a Headmaster in this timeline, instead becoming a ''secretary'' for Fortress Maximus.

===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Marvel UK future timelines====
{{note|The movie adaptation, originally published by Marvel US, is in italics}}
[[File:Arceeprimesrib.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|They're not men, Arcee. Transformers have no gender. We've been over this!]]
Arcee was constructed by the Autobots in an alternate future [[1995]] as a good-will attempt to placate [[Feminist mob|angry feminists]] who thought that they were "sexist" for having no women in their group. After trying multiple times to explain that Autobots, being robots, had no gender, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] surrendered and ordered the creation of a new Autobot who would meet the humans' demands for sexual equality. However, when Arcee was unveiled at a public ceremony, her pink, skinny and curvaceous form enraged the very audience Prime intended to placate. [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]], [[Horri-Bull]], [[Fangry (G1)|Fangry]] and [[Squeezeplay (G1)|Squeezeplay]] immediately attacked, looking to crush the "secret weapon" that was promised. Prime warned Arcee to stay back, lest she get hurt in battle, but the female Autobot, rightfully annoyed at the Autobots' lack of faith in her equal ability, singlehandedly forced the Decepticons into a retreat. [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]] thought that was pretty hot. The feminists were enraged beyond words. {{storylink|Prime's Rib!}}

Arcee was present at the opening of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] in [[2004]] when a group of Decepticons led by Shockwave launched an attack, hoping to permanently ruin Autobot-human relations by assassinating several diplomats present. She helped shield the diplomats from harm until Hot Rod drove the attackers away. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

[[File:Springer arcee the planet eater.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2]]
''Arcee was present when the Decepticons launched a major offensive against Autobot City in the year [[2005]]. She and Springer transformed the outpost into its defensive mode, but the Decepticons nonetheless managed to breach its walls. Megatron and his troops were eventually driven away, but at a steep cost: Optimus had been fatally wounded in battle against his nemesis. Arcee afterwards stood in solemn silence as Optimus passed on the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus before expiring on his death bed.'' {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}}

''After a brief respite, Arcee and the other Earthbound Autobots received dire news from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]]; a monster planet, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], was advancing menacingly towards Cybertron. Daniel, at the time perched on Arcee's shoulder, was especially worried about what would happen to his father should Unicron attack. There was little time to contemplate the situation however, as the Autobots were then assaulted by a new enemy: [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. The Autobots were forced to split up into two groups and blast off aboard a couple of shuttles in their attempt to escape him, but Galvatron remained in pursuit. In a last-ditch effort to lose the Decepticon, Magnus ordered an emergency separation of the shuttle. After Galvatron destroyed the jettisoned portion of the vessel (and declared the Matrix destroyed), Arcee's group landed their craft on the [[Junkion (planet)|Planet of Junk]] for repairs.'' {{storylink|Judgment Day!}}

[[File:Arcee daniel the final battle.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.8]]
''When Daniel asked to be allowed to help with the repairs, Arcee brought out one of his father's [[Exosuit]]s from storage, and helped the boy put it on. Though Daniel had trouble with the suit's workings, Arcee assured him that he was doing well for his first time operating it. The Autobots barely managed to get any work done before Galvatron tracked them down again. Ultra Magnus was torn to pieces in the ensuing battle, and Galvatron took off with the Matrix of Leadership in hand. Arcee and her teammates gathered to look over Ultra Magnus afterwards, only for the hostile Junkions to then spring forth! Thankfully, another ship carrying Hot Rod and several other Autobots arrived, and managed to talk peace with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], leader of the Junkions. Wreck-Gar's troops rebuilt Ultra Magnus, and everyone on Junk readied for a confrontation against Unicron. This clash ended with the Autobots' ship spearing through the titan's eye. Arcee and the others were separated from Hot Rod within Unicron, but her group found Spike, Bumblebee, and Jazz. They were soon rejoined by Hot Rod, but in his absence he had reacquired the Matrix of Leadership, which had both upgraded him into "Rodimus Prime" and begun a chain reaction inside Unicron, culminating in his destruction! With Unicron's threat now dealt with, the Autobots gathered around Rodimus Prime, who announced that this day would mark a new chapter in Cybertronian history, one that would hopefully contain much peace and happiness.'' {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

[[File:Arceehotrodspacepirates.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Y'know, Arcee, if you'd stop running pigeon-toed, maybe we'd be out of here by now.]]
Though they had been quite friendly beforehand, Arcee and Hot Rod began to drift apart after his ascension to Prime status in [[2006]]. She remained stationed at Autobot City on Earth, but grew bored by her duties. One day in [[2008]], she decided to be a bit adventurous, rationalizing that ditching her duties and returning before anyone noticed wouldn't amount to any harm. After a quick drive through the countryside, she returned to base to find it under siege by the [[Quintesson]]s. Arcee was accosted, wounded, and strategically placed as bait so that Rodimus would see her upon investigating the attack on the outpost. Sure enough, when he spotting her, Rodimus rushed to his "childhood" friend's aid. When he tried to use the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] to heal her, Arcee tried to warn her leader of the set-up, but the trap had already been sprung; the Quintessons stole the Matrix and Rodimus Prime reverted to Hot Rod. Despite her injuries, Arcee was soon back on her feet and assisting Hot Rod in a last-ditch effort to thwart the invaders' plans. While she, and a few cassette-Transformers the Quintessons had overlooked, distracted the enemy army, Hot Rod awakened [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], leading to the devastation of the Quintesson fleet. Arcee witnessed Hot Rod retrieve the Matrix from the Quintesson who had swiped it, [[Ghyrik]], after defeating him through trickery. Seeing him hold his own without the Matrix's power renewed Arcee's wavering faith in her commander. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

In [[2009]], Arcee tracked down [[Soundwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Soundwave]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] on Earth, where they were planning to use a laser bore to leech energy right from the [[Earth's core|planet's core]]. Joining a small Autobot detachment, they destroyed the drill and returned to Autobot City to face the greater threat: a [[Time rift|timestorm]] that threatened 20 years of history with destruction. As [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] had spent months back in the 20th century, the universe was unraveling from the anomaly.

[[File:TimeWars3-ArceeDinobots.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Dinobots 1, Chivalry 0]]
Arcee, Rodimus and several other Autobots traveled back in time to [[1989]] in order to retrieve the Decepticon villain. Unfortunately, the Autobots of that day mistook them for imposters and tried to kill them. Arcee was nearly mauled to death by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] before [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] explained that they were actually travelers from the future. Even more unfortunately, Galvatron had acquired some allies in the past: Scourge, [[Ravage (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ravage]], and the mighty [[Straxus (G1)|Megatron]]. She joined [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]] in trying to triple-team Megatron, but was only swatted aside like a bothersome insect. Arcee survived, however, and managed to take a few cheap shots at Galvatron later on in the fight. Eventually, the timestorm asserted itself on the battle, and consumed Galvatron utterly, ending the temporal distortion. {{storylink|Time Wars}}

Arcee and the Autobots returned to their time only to find it had reset so Galvatron never time-jumped and had instead conquered Cybertron. Arcee and the returnees adjusted as best they could, but the odds were hopelessly against them. The resistance on Cybertron ended when Galvatron and his men ransacked a resistance station, killing [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and the other Autobots present. Galvatron mutilated the corpses to drive Rodimus Prime into a killing frenzy, hoping to corrupt the Matrix itself through its host. As she felt fire in the depths of her soul, Arcee managed to talk Rodimus down, reminding him of the true values of an Autobot leader; compassion and mercy. Despite this moral victory, the Autobots' resistance movement was quickly crushed, and they were forced to leave their homeworld. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}} Arcee joined a hundreds-strong Autobot team in fleeing to Earth to regroup. {{storylink|The Void! (UK)|The Void}} When the Matrix-imprisoned [[Unicron]] possessed Rodimus and disabled the ship's retro-rockets, Kup had Arcee make her way to the damaged systems through the ship's air ducts. She successfully reached the sabotaged machinery and repaired them, but by that time a crash-landing had become inevitable. After the Autobots' ship made landfall, their possessed leader began advancing on them, vowing to tear them apart for their interference. {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} Arcee showed a more ruthless side in being the only one of the Autobots to advocate using lethal force on him. Kup was more hesitant in doing so, but eventually agreed with Arcee that Unicron had to be stopped, even at the expense of Rodimus's life. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}} Kup changed his mind when Unicron's assault came to an abrupt end; Rodimus was fighting back, distracting Unicron from the goings-on in the physical realm. The dark god regained control briefly, killing [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]] in the process, and Arcee declared that Unicron had been "faking it" to lure them into a false sense of security. But Kup suspected otherwise, and tackled down Rodimus to rip the Matrix out of his chest compartment. Though this released Rodimus from Unicron's control, it did not eliminate his threat; Rodimus declared that one day, he would have to venture back within the Matrix to confront Unicron again. {{storylink|White Fire}} As Unicron would go on to possess Rodimus again and devastate Cybertron in [[2010]]—an event she witnessed—Arcee's ruthless attitude appeared to have been the right one all along. Yes, Rodimus Prime managed to contain Unicron again, but at what price...? {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Hot Rod, sent on a journey through time and space via [[Primus]], was sent to Junkion, and came across the deceased crew of an Autobot shuttle. One of the victims was Arcee. {{storylink|Less Than Zero}}

Arcee was part of the crew of an Autobot ship that was studying the Universe. She asked Springer to make note of a specific star. After being hit by meteors, they were forced to make landfall on the nearby Junk planet. There, she helped Springer and Perceptor fix the ship, until the native Junkions attacked them. The fighting stopped when Kup arrived on-world, and used the universal greeting to calm down the Junkions. Now friends, the Junkions and the Autobots worked together to fix the damaged ship. Arcee and the Autobots then blasted off and went on their way. {{storylink|Battle on the Junk Planet}}

Kup led Hot Rod, Arcee, and the Dinobots on a special mission to take supplies from Earth to a space station on Cybertron's second moon. Despite Kup's warnings, the Dinobots loaded too many supplies onto the ship, and the ship crashed on a planet. Everyone landed safely, but Kup recognized the place. It was the planet [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintesson]]! They were interrupted by a tribal scream and a flurry of firestones. However, the boy who made his presence known was not aiming at them, but at the Quintessons behind them. The boy's name was [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], and he had been abandoned on the planet when his ship crashed there earlier.

Wheelie led them through the jungle, battling Quintessons along the way, until they reached Wheelie's crashed ship. Hot Rod was able to fix it, and everyone left the planet Quintesson, Wheelie included! {{storylink|The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson}}

During a battle against a horde of killer [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbirds]], [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel]] (now an adult) sacrificed their lives to end the threat. The death of Daniel took a serious toll on Arcee, who became reclusive, preferring to sit alone with images of her former [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster partner]]. Over time, she slipped away from her friends entirely, disappearing within [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. After an unspecified event, she took on the form of a techno-organic spider, and learned the skills of both [[Crystalocution]] and the previously lost art of [[Tekkaido]]. She strongly believed that she had premonitions of her friends' deaths before they would happen, and this knowledge had driven her insane. She hid herself away, hoping to spare herself the pain of experiencing this phenomenon.

[[File:Arceedeparturespider.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't underestimate me, I'm more than just a pretty fa— well, just don't underestimate me, okay?]]
Hundreds of [[Units of time|stellar cycle]]s later, when [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] returned from [[Earth]]'s past and conquered Cybertron with his army of [[Vehicon (BM)|Vehicons]], Arcee's solitude spared her from the onslaught. [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], now known simply as Rodimus, had helped form a new team of [[Wrecker]]s and wished to enlist Arcee. But Arcee rejected his offer as she was still too embittered by her experience, though she was touched by the Wrecker [[Fractyl]]'s words. Rodimus's Wreckers were followed by Megatron's new Vehicon generals, [[Quake (G1)|Quake]] and [[Blastcharge (BM)|Blastcharge]], causing a battle that resulted in Fractyl's near-death. Refusing to lose another, Arcee used her spark to save Fractyl, also reformatting him into a Transmetal body. Arcee agreed to depart with the rest of the Wreckers, and she and Fractyl assisted them in defeating a vast Vehicon army in order to reach an old [[Autobot shuttle]]. {{storylink|Departure}}

But the Autobot bounty hunter [[Devcon (G1)|Devcon]] had snuck aboard their ship and attacked some of their group. Arcee and the others raced to the rescue, and Arcee was quickly felled by Devcon, despite his new, smaller Vehicon body. After things were sorted out, Arcee tended to Fractyl, whose new Transmetal form was wildly unstable. At Arcee's insistence, [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] created a crude medical bot, [[CatSCAN]], to assist Fractyl's recovery. Arcee was oddly unable to foresee the deaths of [[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]] and [[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]], a result of a yet-unknown saboteur amongst their ranks, as she happily watched CatSCAN discover himself while working on Fractyl. Their ship set down on their [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]]-given destination, the remote planet of [[Akalo|Archa Nine]]. Arcee stayed behind with a few others to repair damage to their ship by their mysterious saboteur, who turned out to be fellow Wrecker [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]]. Cyclonus stole the [[Divine Light]], the artifact the Wreckers were searching for, and returned to his true master, [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]]. {{storylink|Betrayal}}

[[File:Arceedisclosure.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Just like old times, but smaller.]]
Arcee blamed herself, as she hadn't been able to foresee death since she saved Fractyl. Demoralized, Arcee and the Wreckers left Archa Nine and headed to another planet at the insistence of their divinely-inspired leader, [[Primal Prime]]. They landed on a small icy planet, and a small scout team, including Arcee, was sent to investigate. After searching for hours, they stumbled upon [[Al-Badur]], a [[Quintesson]] scientist. Arcee immediately readied her weapon, as she and Rodimus had had enough of the Quintessons for several lifetimes, but Primal Prime asked her to lower them. Al-Badur was a somewhat welcome source of information regarding their quest, and before they could leave the planet with him, they were under attack by a horde of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] sent by Cryotek. Arcee and Rodimus quietly bonded as they battled the Sharkticons; it was just like old times. Slowly but surely, Arcee's demeanor had lightened. After the Sharkticons were defeated, Al-Badur explained their problem. The Divine Light was an ancient Quintesson piece of technology that allowed them to tap directly into the power of [[Primus]], and now Cryotek had it! {{storylink|Disclosure}}

But when they returned to Cybertron, it had changed during their absence into a [[technorganic]] paradise by the [[Great Reformatting]]. Quintessons had seized the opportunity to invade the planet, but Primal Prime assured Arcee and the others that Cryotek was their only concern. Primal Prime, Apelinq, [[Ramulus]] and [[Tigatron]] left them to find Cryotek, leaving Arcee and the others to take their injured to safety before joining the counterattack forces on the ground. Instead, their shuttle took heavy damage and was descending in a ball of fire and smoke. Arcee, grabbing Fractyl's body and what life support she could, abandoned ship with the rest. Disregarding Primal Prime's orders, Arcee suggested they find Cryotek and help the other Wreckers defeat him. Descending into the layers of Cybertron, they met [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], who joined them on their journey.

Finding the battleground between Cryotek and [[Sentinel Maximus]] (the combined form of Apelinq and Primal Prime, newly merged by Primus), Arcee reluctantly set aside Fractyl and his life support to join the fight. She helped Devcon defeat Cryotek's mutated pet [[Chro]], using her weblines to hold the monster still so the bounty hunter could shoot at it. But Cyclonus and Rodimus had disappeared beneath some rubble, so Arcee, Fractyl (who had been magically repaired by Tigatron expending all of his [[Vok]] powers) and the others went digging for him... and instead found [[Botanica (BM)|Botanica]], [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]]... and Arcee's nephew, [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]. They avoided each other's glance awkwardly.

They found Rodimus, but he was in rough shape, having fought nearly to the death with Cyclonus. Arcee and the others agreed to follow Al-Badur's instruction in defeating Cryotek, and helped direct the battle between Sentinel Maximus and Cryotek to a chamber deep within Cybertron. Arcee asked Fractyl to keep on Rodimus, who was extremely weak. Their group arrived in the desired chamber, but Arcee had a bad feeling about the place. It seemed familiar. She recognized it too late. It was a Quintesson banishment chamber, and Al-Badur had activated the containment shield within, locking Sentinel Maximus, Cryotek, and himself inside a forcefield bubble that fed into a strongly gravitational portal into nothingness. To Arcee's initial horror, despite her pleas, Rodimus stood up to deal with the situation. She knew that his next action would kill him in his weakened state, but after his assurances, she resigned herself to the outcome. Rodimus and Cheetor, both [[Matrix Templar]]s, used their skills to drain Cryotek of his Primus-stolen powers. As expected, this was too much for Arcee's long-time friend, and though they succeeded in saving Cybertron, Rodimus was dead.

But death isn't an ending, she realized. It was just another change. "And change is what we do." Arcee and Fractyl gathered his body to take it to a secret burial ground that Arcee knew of. She promised that this time, she wouldn't disappear forever. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation One'' continuity===
Before the war, Arcee worked in a hazardous materials treatment plant. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} She became a member of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]'s underground rebellion team headquartered in the [[Wastelands]] during the reign of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. She was regarded as one of the team's odd ones along with [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]], though neither were unappreciated. Both [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] and Hot Rod quickly fell in love with her. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} What no one knew, however, was that Arcee was a sleeper agent of the [[Quintesson]]s and a member of [[Female Autobots|their elite warriors]]. Her task was to keep an eye on the proceedings of the war, particularly Autobot activity, and both the location of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and any Transformers with an affinity for the object. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}} As such, Arcee was delighted when [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] was brought to the rebels' base, much to Hot Rod's misguided annoyance. {{storylink|Passive Aggression}} Since the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] were making a mess in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] at the time, Shockwave unleashed the [[Guardian robot|Omega Sentinels]] on the polity, forcing the rebels to make their final stance against him immediately. Arcee ended up teamed-up with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Kup (G1)|Kup]]—a situation that bugged Hot Rod because he couldn't keep an eye on her. Halfway the battle, Arcee witnessed [[Shockwave's Tower]] shooting a beam of sorts to an [[Unicron|unknown destination]]. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} Shortly after, she also witnessed the Decepticon hijack of [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], but even with these setbacks the Autobots won and reclaimed Iacon. {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

[[File:LostandFound Arcee friends.jpg|upright=1.4|left|thumb|"I'm glad you said that. I'll invite [[Female Autobots|them]] over [[Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Generation One|right away]]."]]
The Autobots set up a new [[Autobase]] in Iacon, where Springer and Hot Rod made use of the relative peace time to win Arcee's affection. Hot Rod had a date of sorts with Arcee to help prepare and watch the shuttle that would send a group of Autobots to [[Earth]] take off, but only after he'd be done training. Springer jumped onto the opportunity and offered to go with Arcee while Hot Rod was busy. She accepted, much to Hot Rod's annoyance. At Landing Platform A, after they were done loading baggage, Arcee was lost in thoughts, of which a few she shared with Springer when he asked what was on her mind: she wasn't sure of her purpose in life and if she belonged on Cybertron. Springer assured her she belonged with her friends.

Over at [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], Arcee's masters observed the proceedings on Cybertron with glee, noting that not only had they found another Transformer with an affinity for the Matrix in Hot Rod, but that their own agent Arcee would work perfectly as a key to break his will. {{storylink|Lost and Found (issue)|Lost and Found}} The Quintessons' plans would even be able to be executed well ahead of time by the Autobots' next move. Arcee was selected to leave with Kup, Springer, and the Dinobots to set up a new moonbase, while Hot Rod was selected for guard duty at Autobase with only Gnaw and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to assist him. Arcee's report on this situation got the Quintessons to send in her colleagues for both Hot Rod and the Matrix. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

{{Unreleased DW G1 comic}}
In the shuttle taking them all to one of Cybertron's moons, Arcee witnessed an amusing conversation between Kup and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]]. Her attention was soon drawn back to the view outside though, where an [[Quintesson Cruiser|odd-looking object]] floated in wait for the shuttle. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
[[File:TheArtofWar1 girltalk.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb]]
In order to oversee the decommissioning of all Cybertronian technology on Earth, Arcee was sent to the planet alongside [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], the last of which whom she had a mutual attraction to. Shortly after the group arrived at [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]], the facility came under attack by [[Cobra]], and Arcee helped fight them off alongside [[Scarlett]], who was surprised over the existence of "girl robots". {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}} Upon hearing about a security breach in the lower levels of Area 52, the group headed there and, to Arcee's horror, found Bumblebee injured and low on energy. Before much could be done about him, the group was attacked by [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]], who took control of [[G.I. Joe battle mech|G.I. Joes' mechs]] and forced them to fight the Autobots before bringing the roof down on everyone. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 2|The Art of War #2}}

The Autobots and Joes survived, and quickly followed Serpent O.R. through a warpgate to Cybertron, where they were attacked by [[cannibalizer]]s. Arcee didn't think they were very threatening, but suggested that they retreat to protect the humans. During their escape, she promised that she'd rotate Bumblebee's tires if he could outrace her... only to run straight into Serpent O.R. and his new army, who remorselessly killed Bumblebee and captured the others. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}} They eventually managed to escape thanks to their G.I. Joe friends. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 4|The Art of War #4}}

[[File:GIJoevsTFArtofwar5 Arceecrys.jpg|thumb]]
After hearing that Serpent O.R. had captured [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Arcee and the others made their way to his chambers, only to find that [[Cobra Commander]] had taken control of Serpent O.R.'s body after he had seized the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. "Serpentor Prime" effortlessly defeated most of the Autobots and Joes, but Arcee dodged his tentacles and managed to rip his chestplate off, allowing [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]] to take the Matrix's power and defeat him. Some time later, Arcee cried for Bumblebee during a memorial service for him. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

===Robot Heroes===
Arcee was Optimus's strong-willed and humble friend. With the rest of Autobots, they boarded the Ark to search for energon among the stars. They came to Earth, and fought back against the Decepticons when they started trouble. Arcee leaped up to bring Starscream down to the ground, where Drift shoved him into a river! The Autobots then decided to keep vigil over the Earth, should the Decepticons ever return. {{storylink|I Am Optimus Prime (Robot Heroes)|I Am Optimus Prime}}

===''Unit:E'' comic===
Upon approaching the planet [[Earth]], the artificial intelligence [[Synergy]] presented footage of the Autobots to her crew-mate, the young [[Microman|Acroyear]], so that he could learn about his potential allies and enemies on the alien world. Arcee could be seen standing side-by-side with Jazz on one of Synergy's view-screens. {{storylink|Unit:E (issue)|Unit:E}}

===''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe''===
Known as the guardian of [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], Arcee was a [[Rescuebot]], and one of the Autobots stationed in [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] under [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s command when a patrol brought back several captured [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joes]]. She was opposed to [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] decision to sentence the invaders to death, and gave them their weapons back so they could fight off the [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]] used for the execution. {{storylink|Funeral for a Friend}} This compassionate act allowed the Joes to survive and broker a truce with the Autobots, and both sides celebrated with a dance party. As Grimlock explained how he came to be leader after [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] fled, Arcee protested that no one knew if that was the real truth. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}}

When Metroplex was attacked by the Decepticon-Cobra alliance, Arcee, [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], and [[Seaspray (G1)|Seaspray]] took some Joes to [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] to free [[U.S.7]] from within the giant and bring him to his senses. Together with [[Tunnel Rat]] she made her way to Maximus's brain, found that it was being corrupted by [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]], and defeated her. The three Autobots and their human allies then moved to attack [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], only to be captured. {{storylink|Everybody Hates Metroplex}} They were sent to the [[Polyhex Killway]] and mind-controlled into fighting each other, with Arcee being forced to try and run down [[Dusty]] and [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]] with her car mode. {{storylink|Expelled from the Garden}} The captives were then moved to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], where the Autobots were trapped, unresponsive, in their vehicle modes, but recovered after the Joes used them as getaway vehicles to break out of the city. {{storylink|Headmasters (issue)|Headmasters}}

The Rescuebots swore to protect humanity by forging a "combination lock", merging into the giant Defensor. Arcee became Defensor's... er, crotch. At any rate, Defensor helped take down Trypticon. {{storylink|Transformers vs. G.I. Joe issue 12|Transformers vs. G.I.

Arcee was part of the crew of the shuttle carrying the [[AllSpark]] and helped defend it from a Decepticon attack. {{storylink|Angry Birds Transformers issue 1|Angry Birds Transformers #1}} The AllSpark was lost in space during the battle, but just as Arcee and the others were lamenting the difficulty in finding it, it came back to them, crashing through one of the shuttle's windshield alongside a [[Minion Pig]]. {{storylink|Hard Boiled}}

The aunt and caretaker of [[Rattrap (BW)#Legends comic 2|Rattrap]], the Arcee of the [[Legends World]] was shocked when her nephew was turned into an actual Transformer. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 1|Bonus Edition Vol. 1}} Then when he was turned into a [[technorganic]] Transformer, she just responded with "Again?" {{storylink|Legends Vol. 15#LG03 Tankor Prologue|LG03 Tankor Prologue}} Eventually, the [[Transformers sickness]] caused by Rattrap's toy collection got to her, too, and she became a full-size transforming version of herself. She didn't worry too much about that, though, as Rattrap was late for work, so she quickly made him lunch and personally drove him to work with her new car mode. [[T-AI#Legends comic 2|Ai]] attempted to arrest Arcee before she could cause any trouble like other Transformers had, but was talked out of it by [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and [[Tigatron]] who recognized Arcee's new form from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''. Out of gratitude, Arcee made dinner for the whole [[Axalon Trading Company]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 10|Bonus Edition Vol. 10}}

Rhinox and Tigatron were jealous of Rattrap's relationship with Arcee, who had bathed him and slept in the same bed as him when he was young, until he explained that she hadn't ''always'' been a giant robot. When she was officially diagnosed with [[Transformers sickness]] by [[Bump]] and told to throw out Rattrap's toys so she could recover, Arcee flatly refused, knowing how much her nephew loved his collection. Instead, she just continued living her normal life as a giant robot body. {{storylink|Transformers Legends: Arcee Chapter|Arcee Chapter}} Arcee was later caught up in the giant world-ending storm summoned up by [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 12|Bonus Edition Vol. 12}} She later heard Rattrap yell out in surprise upon finding his [[Mini-Con]] collection missing. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Armada Megatron)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

Rattrap assured her she looked plenty young already and didn't need remodeling. {{storylink|LG-16 Slipstream Sequel}}

The [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] of the [[OG World|G1 World]] harbored regrets over a failed relationship with his own universe's Arcee, leading to him traveling to the Legends World to remodel his body into something better looking. {{storylink|LG19 Sprung Prologue}} There he ran into the local Arcee and decided to try again by asking her out, but she turned him down, explaining she was much too busy taking care of Rattrap. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}} She later witnessed [[Drift (G1)|Deadlock]] enter the Legends Universe, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Deadlock)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} and was caught up in [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]]'s attack on the city. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 23|Bonus Edition Vol. 23}} On accepting a package from [[Blurr (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blurr]]'s delivery service, Arcee was taken aback by how chatty he was. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 25|Bonus Edition Vol. 25}}

In a reality where the Cybertronian civil war had ended relatively early, Arcee was a biologist protoformed with a male chassis. Post-war, she was sent to observe several organic-populated worlds, where she discovered the organic concept of "gender dysphoria disorder", something which applied to herself. Returning home, she released a paper on the subject. Arcee and several others like her underwent reformatting and replacement of bits of their genetic code in order to rectify the dysphoria between their neural/spark programming and their [[CNA]].

In 2010, the Decepticon military commander [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] acquired a source of infinite power called [[Zel Quartz]]. It drove him to madness, and he destroyed Cybertron while threatening to lay waste to the rest of the galaxy. Rodimus Prime and the Autobots desperately coordinated with the [[Quintesson]]s to use a timeslip device and travel back in time, preventing Shockwave from ever getting his hand on Zel Quartz. Unfortunately, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and the remaining Decepticons learned of the mission, and intercepted the Autobots on the way through the timeslip.

Crashing in 2003 on [[Zel Samine]], where the quartz originated, Arcee awoke with Kup and Rodimus Prime. Separated from the rest of their team, they sent out an SOS and were met by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the present day Autobots. After explaining the situation, Arcee and her allies joined up with Optimus to search for the Zel Quartz before the Decepticons could find it.

Wheeljack searched the planet for any records or power signatures that might be Zel Quartz. After three false leads, they finally located Zel Quartz at the [[Enormous Laser Transmission Array]]. After fighting through numerous Decepticon lieutenants, and facing the might of Megatron and Galvatron united, Arcee and the Autobots secured the Zel Quartz and ultimately disposed of it so that it could do no further harm. With the rock no longer a threat, the Autobots of 2010 vanished and returned to their home timeline. {{storylink|The Transformers (PS2)|The Transformers}}

Unfortunately, her nemesis [[Flamewar (G1)|Flamewar]]'s knowledge of her tactics allowed the Decepticon to put a stop to the team's successful run. {{storylink|Fatal Furies}} At some point she changed her color scheme from blue to pink.

Following an Decepticon assault led by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Arcee, alongside Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Spike were forced into taking cover within the [[Autobot Mausoleum]]. This did little to improve their situation, however, as the Decepticons continued their advance. Unexpectedly, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] rose from his tomb, providing hope that the tide may yet turn in the Autobots' favour. This was not to be, unfortunately, as the resurrected Autobot leader left the group stranded after having received the Matrix of leadership from Rodimus. After Optimus regained his senses, the Autobots were left to mourn their leader as he sacrificed himself once more to undo the Quintessons' trap. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (Legends)|Dark Awakening}} Arcee, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus and Springer were trapped in human bodies by [[Victor Drath]] and [[Cobra Commander|Old Snake]], but still managed to foil the pair's plan to destroy Autobot City.

{{quote|And they were absolutely resistant to Arcee. I said I had a daughter who loves this stuff. There are other girls that like it. Put in a female Autobot!|[[Ron Friedman]], [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]}}

*[[Ron Friedman]] fought for Arcee's inclusion in ''The Transformers: The Movie'' because his daughter was a Transformers fan, but Hasbro/Sunbow were very resistant. [http://toddmatthy.com/2013/12/31/he-killed-optimus-prime-an-interview-with-ron-friedman-writer-of-transformers-the-movie/]
*Arcee had two different [[character model]]s in 1980s ''Transformers'' media. An earlier model served as the basis for her original unproduced toy (seen above), which was also the model used for most of her Marvel Comics appearances and for parts of the episode "[[Only Human]]". Her final model, meanwhile, was used for her appearances in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', the rest of her season 3 appearances, and her Japanese ''Headmasters'' appearances.
*Arcee's finalized character model was used to make a lot of the background female characters during the movie and season 3. Various Junkion ladies and the [[Paradron Medic]]s share her design, only without the shoulder-thingies, and a [[Cheesecake robot|more "shaped" version of her earlier model]] appeared in "[[Starscream's Ghost]]".
*When asked about Arcee's design in an interview, [[Floro Dery]]'s reply was, "Arcee is the naked mechanical equivalent of Princess Leia of ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]''."<ref>[http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/interview-with-floro-dery.html TransFormers Philippines: Interview With Floro Dery]</ref> Well, that answers that question... while raising a whole bunch of others!
*In 2010, a set of Arcee's original color models from ''The Transformers: The Movie'' went up for sale on Heritage Auctions, sold from [[Ron Friedman|Ron Friedman's]] collection of [[Sunbow Productions]] materials. In contrast to her final model and her original toy prototype, this early color model depicted her almost exclusively in shades of pink, save for some lavender on her collar, anklets, and [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] seats.
*[[Men in Black|Men in Black Collectibles]], the organizers of [[BotCon 1996]], attempted to produce an original "[[Action Master]]-inspired" Arcee figure as the '96 convention exclusive. As the steel tooling required to produce plastic action figures costs in the tens of thousands of dollars, this idea never went anywhere, and it is unknown whether MiB had entered into any actual discussions to license the use of the character besides. This figure was presumably unrelated to the actual Hasbro/Takara Action Master Arcee conceived of a few years earlier.
*Around 1999, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] released a special version of the Replica (reissue) [[Microman]] Lady Command figure as part of a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] for "The Official Guide to Takara SF Land" book in white and gold chrome named Arcee. The regular versions of the Lady Command figure all had names starting with "A" (Ann, Alice, Annie and Ai<ref>[http://microforever.com/replicam18X.htm Replica Microman Series; Reissued Lady Command M181 Ann, M182 Alice, M183 Annie & M184 Ai (11/1999) at Microman Forever]</ref>), so Arcee makes sense by that logic - but whether this is an incarnation of "our" G1 character is currently not known. Only 5 Lady Command Arcee figures were released.<ref>[http://microforever.com/sflandprize.htm Replica Microman Series; Kodashan Takara SF Land Book Prize - Microman Lady Command Arcee (?/00) at Microman Forever]</ref>
*Arcee has the most romantic attachments of any Transformers character: Hot Rod in the movie, Marvel Comics, the Big Looker Storybooks and Dreamwave continuities, Springer after the movie, Chromedome (and possibly Rodimus Prime) in ''The Headmasters'', and Bumblebee in [[Devil's Due Press|Devil's Due]] continuity. Then there's the weird affection shown toward Daniel in "[[The Rebirth, Part 3]]", but most fans won't read too much into it, for their own sanity.
*The extras in "[[Spotlight: Arcee]]" reveal a few alternative color schemes [[Alex Milne]] and [[Simon Furman]] tried to get approved for IDW's version of Arcee, one blue, two red. [[Hasbro]] nixed all three, insisting on Arcee's usual coloration. Apparent reasons given were that "they didn't want her to be like the other female bots[,] so they wanted the pink look" and that "they wanted her different from <nowiki> </nowiki>[[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] <nowiki></nowiki>".<ref>[http://markerguru.deviantart.com/art/arcee-cover-colors-70762649 Alex Milne's comments on IDW Arcee's colors at deviantART]</ref> As of 2014, new female Autobots have finally been introduced, but it seems unlikely they were part of IDW's planning back then.
*In the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW continuity]] Transformers were originally treated as genderless but use 'he/him/his' as the pronouns of choice. Arcee would have existed as a genderless robot prior to Jhiaxus' experiments which gave her a female gender, with the issue being her possessing gender in a genderless society. Later issues not only introduced naturally occurring female Transformers but [[Onyx Interface Part Three: ONoffON|''The Transformers'' vol. 2 #37]] hinted that dual genders were once a natural occurrence on Cybertron. The issues have approached this retcon as being relatively insignificant in terms of Arcee's character development.
*While IDW Arcee was firmly established as an Autobot in ''[[Spotlight: Arcee]]'' - in the opening blurb, in dialogue and in the form of an Autobot [[insignia]] constantly present on her chest (outside of the flashback to her being experimented on) - it is the ''only'' IDW issue to suggest that she was ever a formal Autobot. Starting with ''[[Revelation (IDW)|Revelation]]'' and continuing thereafter, she was depicted without the chest insignia, and [[Second Exodus|''Robots in Disguise'' #18]] appears to retcon matters such that she was never [[Rite of the Autobrand|Autobranded]] at all!
*In [[2017]], Arcee was a candidate in the ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' [[Fan polls|fan poll]] for the next bearer of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Although [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] was the ultimate victor, had Arcee won, Design Manager [[John Warden]] suggested '''Arcana Magnus''' as a possible "Evolved" name for her. <ref>[https://www.allspark.com/2018/07/new-info-about-war-for-cybertron-and-more-from-the-hasbro-preview-breakfast/ New Info About War For Cybertron and More from the Hasbro Preview Breakfast]</ref>

[[File:Moonracer-paintmodelsheet.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Still waiting on that pizza...]]

Amongst her colleagues, '''Moonracer''' is the joy and the laughter. The bubbly little sister, Moonracer is full of naïve optimism and, to the dismay of her partners-in-guerilla warfare, pratfalls. She worries that others, either friends or enemies, don't take her seriously and dismiss her as simply being cute. But she'll show them. She'll show them she too can be ''hardcore''.

According to [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]], Moonracer is the best sharpshooter in the galaxy.

According to herself, she's the best in the Universe.

[[File:Moonracerg1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Look at those chubby-wubby cheeks!]]
Four million years ago, Moonracer tried to board the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], while it was being attacked, with the rest of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]'s team. The plan failed, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.

[[File:Moonracer vehicle.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Drax?]]
[[File:Search4atmoonracer.jpg|thumb|right|200px|That... that is totally not the way it happened! Stupid wiki.]]
Moonracer participated in a raid on one of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]'s [[energon]] supply stores. She questioned Elita One's order to take only one stack and got herself stuck in a booby trap when she tried to steal more. As a result, the [[Female Autobots]]' continued existence was discovered by Shockwave, whom was tricked by [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] into freeing Moonracer. The two made their escape and joined up with [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] on the way back to their hidden base. Near, Elita One informed her soldiers they were being followed. Moonracer quickly located and shot down the [[Sentinel (G1)|offender]].

Trying to capture Elita One and with an idea of where the Female Autobots approximately hid, the Decepticons launched an attack. [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] caused the Female Autobots' underground base to collapse, with most of them in it. They survived, but were trapped inside. It was Moonracer's idea then to detonate the energon they stole in order to blast their way out. Following their escape, the team went in search of their leader and subsequently met up with a group of [[Earth]]-stationed Autobots who had come looking for [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|their commander]]. Moonracer teamed up with her old friend [[Powerglide (G1)|Powerglide]]. Things went well until Shockwave decided he had enough and nearly caused Moonracer and several others to fall to their deaths. Fortunately, Optimus Prime and Elita One made a timely arrival and chased off the Decepticons.

With the Decepticons defeated and their underground headquarters destroyed, [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] relocated the Female Autobots to a new base of operations. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

Moonracer, Firestar, and [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] were strolling around on Cybertron after a battle, when they were attacked from behind by a Decepticon. Only Arcee was quick enough to respond in time, blasting the attacker before her friends came to harm. She then chided her teammates, noting that "War seems to be too tough particularly for females" {{sic}}. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|The Transformers: Arcee}}

Later, Moonracer, Firestar, Chromia, and Elita One celebrated their victory over an absolutely ''gargantuan'' Decepticon warrior. Well, Elita brooded, but the others celebrated. {{storylink|The Transformers (MC Axis manga)|The Transformers: Elita One}}

[[File:ComingStorm2-RicochetAlphaTrionMoonracer.jpg|left|thumb|330px|Aha, [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], how the tables have turned!]]

Nine million years ago, Moonracer was one of the younger Autobots, mentally a teenager. She was locked in this mindset when Decepticons attacked the facility that was overseeing one of her upgrades, and the damage to the equipment resulted in stilted emotional growth. While she hadn't made her way to full functionality, she was still quite capable, if perhaps too impetuous for her own good. In the meantime, she functioned as an attaché to Alpha Trion. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 33|Moonracer's profile in Club magazine #33}}

Moonracer and [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]] stood with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] as he implored the [[Autobot High Council]] to put their support behind his new [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|"Prime"]] initiative. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 2}}

The pair, along with [[Outback (G1)|Outback]], were at the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] [[Auxiliary Weapons Locker]] when [[Magnum]] and the surviving members of the Elite Guard turned up to pick up guns. The trio joined the mission to locate [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s base. {{Storylink|Battle Lines, Part 2}} The group soon ran into Deathsaurus's troops and engaged them in combat. Ricochet was shot out of the air by [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], and Moonracer, Outback, and [[Flak (G1)|Flak]] were at his side as he died from his wounds. They had little time to mourn before they were attacked by an enraged [[Lyzack (Victory)|Lyzack]]. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 3}} She watched as [[Big Bang]], [[Ironfist (G1)|Ironfist]], [[Rumbler (G1)|Rumbler]], and [[Sprocket (G1)|Sprocket]] arrived to join the battle. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 4}} A week after the battle, she was part of the Autobot forces at [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s city walls as the Decepticons broke through with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 5}} The battle was won, but several Autobots died in the process. To gather energy for the sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]''. Moonracer was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed. Soon after, as their current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Moonracer joined her comrades still on the planet in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. {{storylink|Battle Lines, Part 6}}

===Dreamwave ''Generation 1'' comics===

Moonracer was a member of an elite squad of five warriors under the command of the [[Quintesson]]s. She and [[Firestar (G1)|Firestar]] were on guard duty for their masters when they discussed the Transformer-related events of the past two Earth years. {{Storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}}

[[The Route of All Evil|Following a report]] from their Autobot sleeper agent, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], that the awaited situation to commence their mission had come, [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] used a [[space bridge]] to get to the [[Autobase]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Chromia and the others waited patiently for her to signal that they could follow. When it came, Moonracer went after her commander swiftly for further orders. With only Firestar still to get through the portal, the group was attacked by [[Gnaw (G1)|Gnaw]]. Moonracer kicked him in the face towards Elita One, who punched him out. While [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]] was sent back to [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]] with an unconscious [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], Moonracer joined the other two into the Autobot facility, where they found [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s badly damaged body in a repair chamber. {{storylink|Unreleased Dreamwave issues#Issue 11|Generation 1 #11}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
:*''First Appearance:'' [[All That Remains|Transformers: Windblade vol. 2 #3]]

[[File:Windblade4-moonracer.jpg|thumb|left|175px|No, I don't turn into a winged lion. Why does everyone ask me that?]]
Moonracer was a native of [[Velocitron]], born from the [[hot spot]] within the body of their [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] [[Navitas]]. Moonracer made a name for herself by racing alongside the moving city [[Delta]] for an entire day, though some thought of her as crazy for venturing outside. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}} When battling [[combiner]]s from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] briefly touched upon the planet, [[Knock Out (G1)|Knock Out]] and Moonracer investigated the footprints left behind and went to report it to [[Override (BW)|Override]]. {{storylink|All That Remains}} Thanks to her reputation she was subsequently selected ambassador to Cybertron alongside Knock Out once the two planets' [[space bridge]]s were linked up. While Knock Out was quick to decline [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]]'s offer to join the [[Council of Worlds]], Moonracer was less fond of the path Velocitron's society was heading down and met with [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] behind the scenes, suggested the Cybertronians convince Override herself by participating in the [[Benefit 500]]. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|Windblade vol. 2 #4}}

Upon Windblade and her party's arrival on Velocitron, Moonracer let them into Delta and brought their representative, [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], to the race, tasking her assistant [[Clocker (G1)|Clocker]] with showing Windblade the way to Navitas' [[brain module]]. She subsequently watched with smug satisfaction as Blurr won the race with Windblade's help, deflating Knock Out. {{storylink|Race Against the Light}} His victory convinced the people of Velocitron to join the Council of Worlds, and Moonracer and Knock Out returned to Cybertron and signed the treaty. {{storylink|Windblade vol. 2 issue 6|Windblade vol. 2 #6}}

[[File:TAAO1 CouncilOfWorlds.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Clowns to the left of me.]]

Approximately two weeks later, Moonracer was present for the ceremony inducting [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]] and [[Strika (BM)|Strika]] of [[Vigilem|Carcer]] into the [[Council of Worlds]]. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}} When Starscream was upset over being left out of the [[Chosen One Day]] festivities, Moonracer and several others who were feeling the holiday spirit came to visit and at least ''pretend'' to like him for a while. {{storylink|Choose Me}}

After [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] announced his intent to annex [[Earth]] into the Council of Worlds, Moonracer attended the first council meeting discussing this sudden change of events. {{storylink|New Worlds Order}} The Council also investigated a series of [[Mnemosurgery|mnemosurgical]] attacks on Decepticons and the increasing suspicions of the [[Badgeless]], eventually appointing Ironhide to investigate the matter. {{storylink|07:00:00}} Following the death of [[Drunkatron|a Decepticon]], Iacon's population found itself on the verge of a riot; Moonracer attended another emergency meeting that saw Ironhide take command of the Badgeless. {{storylink|Applicable Skills}} She and Knock Out later attended a meeting where Ironhide reported on the progress of the new recruits. {{storylink|Things We Said We'd Never Do}} When [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] attacked Iacon, Moonracer and the other Council delegates were temporarily evacuated. {{storylink|The Line Between Us}}

The Council later met with Optimus to hear his side of the story. Although Prime insisted that his intentions were pure, its members unanimously voted against allowing Earth a seat on the council. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}} Following the raising of a Titan on Earth, however, the members of the Council began reconsidering their verdict, much to Starscream's annoyance. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 6: No Fair Fights|No Fair Fights}}

[[File:DesperateTimes-moonracer.jpg|thumb|right|200px|''Mario Kart: Double Dash'']]

When Cybertron came under threat from a fleet of undead Titans, Moonracer helped repel the wave of cityformers. {{storylink|Ping}} As the fight dragged on with no end in sight, she put her speed to good use, ferrying the wounded [[Vanquish (G1)|Vanquish]] and his brother [[Fireshot (G1)|Fireshot]] to safety. Back at the Council's spire, Windblade revealed her intention to put together a strike team and breach Carcer, as [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]] had refused to let her Titan join the fight. Moonracer was one of the 'bots who joined Windblade's crew. {{storylink|Desperate Times}} With [[Tigatron]] and Fireshot, the group reached Carcer's brain module only for the path to be barred by [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]]. A perfect shot by Moonracer destroyed his left propeller before Fireshot ripped the other one off and the three held him down while Windblade merged with Carcer. To everyone's horror, the Titan was not Carcer but [[Vigilem]]! {{storylink|Desperate Measures}}

Nonetheless the three held down Obsidian despite his repeated warnings. When Moonracer expressed the belief that Vigilem taking full control would mean Windblade being unable to talk, Tigatron insisted that Windblade would stay plugged in until Cybertron was saved. As Windblade began to lose the mental duel, Elita One entered and emptied her weapon into Vigilem's brain module though too late to stop the Titan from freeing [[Liege Maximo]]. {{storylink|Rubicon}} Once the threat had passed, Moonracer was part of a smaller meeting to discuss why Elita had hid the existence of Liege Maximo and Vigilem. Moonracer found herself agreeing with Elita's logic that Cybertron had to be united to combat Maximo's inevitable return but believed that the people had a right to know the truth that the ancient Prime was free. Starscream ultimately had the deciding vote and opted to keep Maximo's freedom a secret. {{storylink|Heavy}}

The full Council later reconvened to meet with Optimus Prime as the Autobot leader discussed sharing Transformer technology with the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s, who had recently arrived on Earth. Starscream shot down the proposal; as Earth was not yet a member of the Council, it would be a violation of the [[Tyrest Accord]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 3: Behind My Bleeding Back|Behind My Bleeding Back}}

Moonracer was present during Earth's induction into the Council of Worlds where she sat next to the [[Mistress of Flame]] before Starscream ordered [[M.A.S.K.]] and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] locked up. {{storylink|First Strike issue 4|First Strike #4}} After Windblade helped the G.I. Joe team escape, Moonracer was present again when the Mistress of Flame slapped Windblade and stripped her of her Camien citizenship. She also participated in the celebration after Windblade won the election for ruler of Cybertron. {{storylink|The Chosen One}} Moonracer was once again hanging out with the other members of the Council of Worlds when [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Onyx Prime]] suddenly appeared in a massive space-capable eyeball with a captured [[Liege Maximo]] in tow. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|A Surfeit of Primes}}

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Moonracer transforms from a robot based on her appearance in [[The Search for Alpha Trion]] to a Cybertronian car. She can also form a limb for any ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]''-style combiner. Like all other ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures, she comes with Prime Armor (redecoed from [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Jazz]]) with a place for a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination]], or [[Matrix|Matrix core]]) that can transform into a hand for a combiner. She also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the chest armor or be held as a gun. Her instructions, [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos and box art depict her as part of [[Elita-Infin1te]].

:Moonracer's kibble results in a ''very'' large backpack, due to the fact at least 75% of her car mode folds up into it despite not being a [[shellformer]]. Surprisingly, even with the backpack she is fairly sturdy in robot mode, due to the fact it is mostly hollow.

[[File:Optimusprimalbw.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Next one of you says "[[trukk not munky]]" gets it in the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|FACE]].]]
Young and untested, '''Optimus Primal''' was a mere captain of an exploration ship when he and his crew were diverted off-course to pursue a stolen Predacon ship under the leadership of some crook named [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]. The rest, they say, is (literally) history.

Though he does have a penchant for stuffy speeches, Optimus Primal is much more down-to-Cybertron than his legendary [[Optimus Prime (G1)|namesake]]. He is committed to the Maximal codes of honor and moral judgment, but he does view them with some irreverence, and is not above finding loopholes or administering unorthodox solutions if necessary. ("Sometimes, crazy works", he says.) He is eternally loyal to his friends and respectful to his enemies. He is brave and selfless in battle. However, he is so committed to helping others that he can withdraw into a deep depression when he feels he has let them down. This is the only time he is self-absorbed.

Optimus Primal is extraordinary for not only being able to distinguish himself, despite living in the shadow of Optimus Prime, but he may even have surpassed the greatest of the Autobots, seeing as he [[Optimal Situation|saved the life of his namesake]] and ushered in a new [[technorganic]] [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. It is possible Optimus Primal is the greatest Cybertronian hero who has ever lived.

[[File:BatPrimal-2packcomic.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.67|Function: Megatron's lunch]]
Under the eerie shadows of a full moon Optimus Primal, a gigantic bat, [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]], a swift-stalking cheetah, and [[Razorbeast]], a fearsome wild boar, hunted purposely through the depths of a jungle. Soon, Optimus detected the thermal emissions and fusion activity from a building, which meant they'd found their target. His motion sensors registered what appeared to be a harmless [[Earth]] creature below.

Before Optimus realized his mistake, the alligator lashed out with as smashing swipe of its tail, knocking Optimus into the swampy waters. The beast transformed and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] towered above him. The building ahead was the Predacons' genetics lab and he'd never let Optimus reach the secrets inside. He ordered his troops to attack and everyone transformed to robot mode. The gigantic arthropods Tarantulas and Waspinator engaged Razorbeast and Cheetor respectively while Optimus and Megatron faced off.

Optimus bragged that the Maximal "[[bio-genetic morphing process]] has allowed us to create the perfect fusion of organic musculature and Transformers technology!" Megatron responded that his side did all that too, so nan-neh, but used the DNA of Earth's most vicious predators. When Optimus noted that the Maximals seemed to be getting the upper hand, Megatron immediately detonated the lab and escaped, vowing to return with new forms and new plans when the Maximals least expected it. The [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]] had just begun! {{storylink|Optimus Primal vs Megatron!}}

Optimus believed, as his namesake did, that freedom was the right of all sentient beings... when it didn't clash with the greater good. His goal was to vanquish the Predacons from the planet Earth, a task he recognized would not be done easily. {{storylink|Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Optimus Primal bio (Basic class)}}

Optimus eventually re-engineered his body, from a fruit bat to a gigantic gorilla, alluded to be comparable in size to [[King Kong]]. His strength had been most notably increased by this process, and he possessed "mega blast missiles", produced from his shoulder mounted cannons. {{storylink|Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Optimus Primal bio (Ultra class)}}

{{note|This comic, along with the on-package [[Bio]]s of the first wave of Beast Wars toys, predate the development of the ''Beast Wars'' cartoon and its backstory. Instead, they seem to present the characters as a direct continuation of the previous Autobot/Decepticon conflict, with Optimus Primal actually being a new form of Optimus Prime and Megatron being his Generation 1 counterpart, and their battles taking place on present day, [[human]]-inhabited Earth, rather than in the distant past. Once the cartoon launched, the toyline adjusted itself to match that continuity instead, relegating this one to an aborted [[micro-continuity]].}}

His transformation into Optimal Optimus was due to exposure to a "nebulous entity". {{storylink|Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#Beast Wars|Optimal Optimus toy bio}}

===''Beast Wars'' cartoon continuity===
{{main|Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity}}
[[File:Call of the Wild Optimus Megatron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|''King Kong'' took a weird turn.]]
Optimus Primal was a minor [[Maximal]] officer of little note who commanded the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]''. When he received an alert about a fugitive [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] ship, the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]'', he had the ''Axalon'' pursue it through a [[transwarp]] portal, eventually ending up on a primitive planet. There, he and his Maximal crew scanned [[beast mode]]s and battled [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s criminal band of Predacons in what the Maximal dubbed the "[[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]". The two forces soon became embroiled in an "experiment" by the mysterious [[Vok]], and Primal gave his life to stop the destruction of the Maximals by the aliens' [[Planet Buster]]. The planet was revealed to be [[Earth]] in the past, putting the conflict in a vital context. Optimus Primal was soon reborn in a [[Transmetal]] body and was later granted a more powerful body after taking [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s [[spark]] into his body to foil Megatron's plans to change history. Despite his nemesis's numerous machinations, the Predacons were defeated and Megatron brought back to Cybertron.

However, Megatron prematurely freed himself, and he arrived at Cybertron before the Maximals. When they arrived, they found the planet to be desolate and conquered by Megatron. They soon met the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]], who [[reformatting|reformatted]] the Maximals into [[technorganic]] forms and entrusted Optimus Primal with the task of defeating Megatron and bringing about an evolution of the planet and the species into the technorganic. Despite some missteps, Optimus Primal was able to free Cybertron from Megatron's reign and bring about a new age for Cybertron, albeit with the cost of his life.

When [[Unicron]] instigated the [[Universe War]] with his abductions of Transformers from across the [[multiverse]], [[Primus]] resurrected Optimus Primal to act as the leader of the [[Child of Primus|Children of Primus]]. Well into the war efforts, Unicron disappeared and Optimus Primal's fate was left unknown.

A different quantum branch of this Optimus Primal became one of the [[Alternity]]'s dimension-hopping [[Protector|agents]] and met with the [[Thirteen|ancient Transformer]] [[Vector Prime]].

In a divergent timeline, Optimus Primal, a possessor of an [[Energon Matrix]], joined forces with various [[Autobot]] and Maximal [[Supreme Commander|leaders]], such as the legendary Optimus Prime himself, the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] of a different [[Universal stream|universal cluster]], [[Lio Convoy]], and [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]].

On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Optimus Primal observed a warrior named [[Lio Convoy]] advance through the ranks of the Maximal Space Patrol. Respecting him for his strength and courage (though feeling he was a bit too straightforward), Primal dynamically named him as his successor. Shaking hands, Lio Convoy swore not to let Primal down. {{storylink|Catalog#Beast Wars II|The next stage of battle advances to the Second War... Beast Wars, Transform!}}

====''Beast Wars II'' manga====
Many years ago, before [[Lio Convoy]] became "Lio Convoy", Optimus Primal was a sitting member of the [[Convoy Council]] and personally awarded him his [[Energon Matrix]] and [[Convoy (rank)|Convoy]] rank.

Years following that, during a battle with [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] on planet [[Gaia]], Lio Convoy's Energon Matrix was damaged by his foe and corrupted with [[Angolmois]] energy. The chaotic energy caused Lio Convoy to grow to enormous size and go berserk. To stop him from destroying everyone and everything, [[Apache]] and [[Scuba]] used an ancient Gaian computer to summon Optimus Primal across time and space.

Primal observed the danger and immediately recognized the problem. Stretching out his glowing hand, Primal pressed his palm against Lio Convoy's Energon Matrix, repairing it. This act disspelled the Angolomois corruption, returning Lio Convoy to normal size and sanity. The deed done, Primal faded away, returning to wherever he had come from. {{storylink|Free the Captured Matrix!}}

Before Lio Convoy and his team set out to the artificial planet [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]], Optimus Primal showed up in the Maximals' base on Gaia via holographic communication. He warned Lio Convoy would die due to overexposure to the [[Angolmois]] energy if he went to the planet. {{storylink|All Hands, Make a Special Attack on the Evil Planet!}}

[[File:DevilGorilla-sk.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|It's on like a reanimated cyborg Donkey Kong!]]
Following the [[Quantum surge]], Primal was left dead. Within [[Transwarp]] space, he found himself being dragged into the afterlife by a horde of monsters. Suddenly, [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] arrived and attempted to return him to life. Primal at first refused, saying he wished to move on. Rhinox then smacked some sense into him, reminding him of his duty to his Maximals. Brought back to his senses, Primal left Transwarp space, his spark being blasted from a laser cannon of Rhinox's design.

Over at the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] base, [[Hindenburg]], [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] had recovered Primal's sparkless, rampaging body and imprisoned it in shackles. Using a voodoo ceremony of [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]]'s design, Megatron intended to turn Primal's body into a Predacon slave. Before he could apply his mutant blood and finish the ceremony, Primal's spark reunited with his body and upgraded into a [[Transmetal]].

None too pleased, Primal proceeded to make short work of Tarantulas, [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] and Megatron's army of drones. He then defeated Megatron and escaped Hindenburg, rescuing an injured [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] in the process. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 1|Beast Wars Metals #1}}

Later, while investigating the remains of the ''Axalon'', Primal was attacked by Rampage. Primal had his robot head bitten off in the attack and lost both his arms (it was brutal). Ultimately, using undersea volcanos and his own hoverboard, Primal launched Rampage into space, trapping him in orbit. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 2|Beast Wars Metals #2}}

When [[Jaguar]] attacked a [[protohuman]] village and killed Dinobot, Primal journeyed there to avenge his friend. Their battle raged into a cave, where Jaguar blew a hole through Primal's torso. Primal managed to tear Jaguar's arms off and then shoot him before letting the villain stumble into a pit. Dinobot was avenged. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 3|Beast Wars Metals #3}}

Optimus Primal once again arrived too late to save a friend, as Tigatron, mind-controlled by Tarantulas, killed Airazor. Primal proceeded to stomp the spider to death and tear his body into a thousand pieces. He was much more courteous to Blackarachnia, however, having seen her attempt to help Airazo, and let her leave in peace.{{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 4|Beast Wars Metals #4}}

When Optimus learned that Megatron had discovered the ''Ark'', he raced to get there in time, only to be besieged by zombie Predacons. With Tigatron's help, he made it through them, but ONCE AGAIN arrived too late, as Megatron (now merged with the spark of [[Megatron (G1)|his namesake]]) blasted [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to bits. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 5|Beast Wars Metals #5}}

To save Prime's spark, Optimus Primal ate it and became Optimal Optimus. In their final confrontation, Optimus ripped Megatron's spark out of his body and crushed it, killing his foe. After all was said and done, Primal lamented that repairing Optimus Prime and restoring the time stream would be a tall order. {{storylink|Beast Wars Metals issue 6|Beast Wars Metals #6}}

Just as the combatants were really starting to beat the slag out of each other, they were interrupted by [[Acheron|a mysterious spaceship]] that swooped down, sucked the [[Decepticon]]s up on beams of light, and flew away.

===''Transformers Legends'' comic===
Optimus Primal was the president of [[Axalon Trading Company]], and took new employee Rattrap drinking after his first workday. As Rattrap was explaining ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' to him, Primal assumed by his mention of CGI-animated transforming robots that he meant the [[live-action film series|recent Transformers movies]]. {{storylink|The Generation Gap}} Primal believed that your robot mode was your "serious adult" mode and that you should use it while working, and was annoyed that Rattrap remained in beast mode throughout the day and transformed to have fun afterwards. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 4#The Transformation Gap|The Transformation Gap}} During a meeting with [[Lio Convoy]] from another company, Primal had Airazor serve their guest tea. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 5#The Gender Gap Part 2|The Gender Gap Part 2}} He later found Rattrap, Rhinox and Silverbolt with their stomachs growling, and wondered what they'd been up to. {{storylink|TF4 Toy Party}}

While visiting [[Tokyo Toy Show 2014]] with his son, [[Optimus Minor]], Primal was shocked to run into some of his own employees and reprimanded them for caring about toys at their age. During the event, he talked to Minor about ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters and helped him transform an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] toy he'd won. {{storylink|Tokyo Toy Show 2014 Report}} Later at work, he was exasperated by Cheetor enthusiastically refusing to work overtime. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 9#The Bathroom Gap|The Bathroom Gap}} While heading out one day, he told his employees not to touch his [[banana]]s, but turned back when he realized he'd forgotten to bring some with him. He returned to find that the others had immediately started eating all his bananas in a great big banana-themed party, and was ''not pleased''. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 10#Even Though I Told You Not To...|Even Though I Told You Not To...}} He also had his hands full with Cheetor, who at different points was so tired at work he forgot how to transform, {{storylink|Legends Vol. 10#Head of Partying, Cheetor|Head of Partying, Cheetor}} asked Primal to cover his travel expenses after he'd fallen asleep on the train, {{storylink|Legends Vol. 10#Cheetor at Night|Cheetor at Night}} and claimed to have overslept even when he arrived late fully energetic and refreshed. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 10#Cheetor in the Morning|Cheetor in the Morning}}

As punishment for the banana incident, Primal assigned Dinobot to be Rattrap's trainer, ignoring the rat's protests that his new trainer clearly wanted to eat him. When Rattrap managed to work even while stuck in Dinobot's mouth, Primal commented that the two worked well together after all. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 11#The Two's Recent Encounter|The Two's Recent Encounter}} Rattrap later arrived at worked in the body of a real Transformer, to which Primal responded by having him go see Doctor [[Bump]], who explained that the cause was Rattrap's obsession with Transformers. Primal ordered his employee to get rid of his toy collection, but was ignored. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 1|Bonus Edition Vol. 1}} Not long afterwards, the same thing happened to Optimus Primal himself! His initial worries about what his son would think proved unfounded when Minor was overjoyed to have a cool Transformer as a dad, but things still ended badly when his suspicious appearance caught the interest of the police. His accidentally deployed a bunch of hidden weapons while trying to explain himself, worsening the situation until Rattrap showed up and transformed him back into gorilla mode. Seeing Bump again, Primal was told that the transformation had been caused by his overeating of bananas, but like Rattrap, he refused to change his lifestyle. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 2|Bonus Edition Vol. 2}}

Optimus Primal's body was later transformed ''again'', this time becoming [[Fallout (episode)|flat as a pancake]]. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 15#LG03 Tankor Prologue|LG03 Tankor Prologue}} His boss's cool new robot mode was a source of jealousy for Rhinox until he too was transformed, becoming [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]]. Primal watched an ensuing battle between Rattrap and Tankor with confusion. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 3|Bonus Edition Vol. 3}} He'd reverted to his old form again in time for [[Christmas]], during which he went for a walk with Minor. {{storylink|Merry X'mas!!}} He later bore witness to Tankor's final defeat at the hands of [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], after which he too reverted into Rhinox. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 7|Bonus Edition Vol. 7}} The large statures of Primal and the others at Axalon Co. bothered Rattrap, who regretted his small size. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 8|Bonus Edition Vol. 8}} Primal was a bit bothered when [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] showed up at Axalon to cook lunch for the employees on company time, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 10|Bonus Edition Vol. 10}} and later watched in bewilderment when [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] attempted to destroy [[Legends Universe|their universe]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 12|Bonus Edition Vol. 12}}

During a partnership between Axalon Trading Company and the rivaling [[Tera-Kura Co.]], President Primal and Rattrap were invited by [[Megatron (BW)|President Megatron]] to a ''[[Q-Transformers]]'' event. He enjoyed himself trying out food and drinks, but didn't really understand why Rattrap wanted ''Beast Wars Q-Transformers'' so badly. {{storylink|Deckss × Q-Transformers Collaboration Event Report|Deckss × Q-Transformers}} Primal was visiting Tokyo Toy Show 2015 with Minor when [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]] showed up and kidnapped his son!

When all the heroic warriors of the Legends Universe got together to protect their world from [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]], Optimus Primal joined in by turning into his Transformer form again. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 16|Bonus Edition Vol. 16}} He and Rattrap were later approached by the Autobot [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]], who asked for their help in using the Legends Universe's energies to build [[transtector]]s for him and his troops. Primal responded that business is business and they needed compensation, so Fortress offered his company access to Autobot technology, which led to a full-blown Autobot Axalon Trading Company partnership. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 21|Bonus Edition Vol. 21}} He later wondered what was up when Fortress was being chewed out by his brother [[Grand Maximus|Grand]]. {{storylink|LG24 Shockwave & Cancer Prologue}} Annoyed by the volume of one of his new employees, [[Blaster (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Blaster]], Primal kicked him out of the room and told him to get back to work. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 27|Bonus Edition Vol. 27}} He and Rhinox were later given [[Master-Brace]] blueprints by [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]], allowing their company to produce some. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 28|Bonus Edition Vol. 28}} After selling Metroplex to Tera-Kura in order to fund their new HQ, Maximus, Primal lamented the sacrifice they'd been forced to make. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 31|Bonus Edition Vol. 31}}

Optimus Primal yelled at [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] for flying around the office on [[Moguru]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 32|Bonus Edition Vol. 32}} Then his Transformers sickness kicked in again and he was turned into an orange robotic ape. His new appearance caught the attention of [[Nightscream (BM)|Nightscream]], who hired him to play [[Ape X Arms]] in his new film, ''[[Transformers: Convobat Amazon Showdown]]''. He ended up having to combine with Megatron twice, first as part of a scene and again to subdue the rampaging transtector meant to represent [[Convobat]]'s. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Convobat)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} Primal was later among the passengers on [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]]'s commuter train, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 40|Bonus Edition Vol. 40}} was around when [[Dark Ai]] came to Axalon looking for help, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Black Convoy 2)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} and got eaten whole by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]]. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} He then watched his house be destroyed during [[Blowpipe (G1)|Blowpipe]]'s [[plasma energy]] rampage. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 49|Bonus Edition Vol. 49}} Primal was given [[Beastformer]] armor by [[White Leo]] when he tried to recruit the Legends natives into his army, {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 51|Bonus Edition Vol. 51}} and was present at Axalon when [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Goldbug]] came knocking. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 54|Bonus Edition Vol. 54}}

Optimus Primal was the latest in a long line of noble Cybertronians tasked by the [[Thirteen|gods]] with guarding the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]. For as long as he could remember, he was sealed with it inside a dome in [[Primal Swamp]] to watch over it. This continued until [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] eventually found and entered the vault, hoping to retrieve the Blaster in order to keep it out of [[Megatronus]]'s clutches. Primal appeared before him and fought to defend the Blaster, but Megatron told him that Cybertron was facing extinction and that he was prepared to give his life to save the planet. Sensing the truth in his words, Primal relinquished the Blaster to Megatron, who left the vault with it. As the former Decepticon and his team discussed their next move, Primal followed him outside and properly introduced himself, suggesting they head for the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]]. {{storylink|Primal (POTP)|Primal}}

The group traveled to [[Cataclysm Tundra]], where they unearthed the Sanctorum's hidden entrance. Finding a data terminal inside, they learned of Primal's origins as an agent of the gods, but were interrupted when [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]] attacked. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}} In the ensuing fight, Rodimus briefly trapped him beneath some rubble. When he emerged, he saw the Requiem Blaster left unguarded and attempted to flee with it. When Windblade called him out, he claimed that letting the Blaster out of Primal Swamp was a mistake, but accusations of cowardice by Windblade promted a change of heart. Instead of leaving, Primal moved himself into the shadows on the higher levels of the Sanctorum before tossing the Blaster to Megatron so he could finish Overlord. {{storylink|Countdown (POTP)|Countdown}} In the aftermath, Primal thanks Windblade for stopping him from running. As Megatronus appeared to take the Blaster, Primal attempted to defend it, but proved no match. Following Megatronus's escape, Primal sided himself with the others in support of Megatron as they marched toward the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of Sparks]] to finish things. {{storylink|Consequences}}

Noting the peculiarity of the [[Labyrinth of Tunnels]], he mused to himself about how much of Cybertron and the surrounding universe he had yet to discover due to his isolation. Though his spark was weakened by Megatronus's doomsday device, Primal and the others forced their way into the Well. After saving Windblade from a potentially lethal blast, he and Grimlock worked to restrain Megatronus. However, Megatronus proved too powerful and severely burned Primal and the others. {{storylink|Collision Course}} The flames surrounding him died down while Megatronus fought Rodimus, now completely possessed by [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], and Primal resumed attacking Megatronus's device. Despite interference from Megatronus, Primal did his best to pull the Matrix free from the device. He eventually succeeded and began interfacing with the Matrix unexpectedly, creating a protective shield around him. When Perceptor revealed the Matrix had chosen him, he placed the relic into his chest and was transformed into a new form. Dubbed Optimal Optimus by the Matrix and proclaimed as the protector of all sentient beings, he began to battle Unicron, now seemingly a match for him. {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} Optimal eventually overtook his foe and managed to remove the [[Matrix of Conquest]] from his foe, restoring him back to his former self as Hot Rod. When Unicron attempted to use the Matrix to take control of Megatron, Optimal agreed to use the Requiem Blaster to destroy them both, hailing Megatron as a true hero. In the aftermat, thanks to the Matrix's choice of him as the new Prime, Optimal was named the leader of Cybertron. Though Optimal was unsure if he was worthy of the role, the newly-revived [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] taught him the ways of Cybertron and promised to support him as Optimal declared he would lead Cybertron into a new age of prosperity. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

Optimus and [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] had the task to rescue any of their comrades that were captured whenever a mission against the Predacons failed.

Upon having eliminated the Predacon threat, Optimus Primal declared the galaxy to be at peace thanks to the Maximals.

=====Predacon campaign=====
Retaliating after [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] had been assassinated by the Predacons, Optimus launched an offensive directly against the Predacon's ship. His drone troops were unsuccessful in destroying the Predacons, who launched a counter-offensive while Optimus troops were still in disarray after the failed attack. The Maximal leader was ultimately assassinated, securing the Predacons their victory in the Beast Wars. {{storylink|Beast Wars: Transformers (video game)|Beast Wars: Transformers}}

{{Note|Due to the nature of this game, a player may select various individual characters to perform the feats required in every level, and complete the game's narrative. Thus, any playable Maximal can fill the role of protagonist in Maximal Mode, and any playable Predacon can fill the role of protagonist in Predacon Mode. To view the various feats Optimus Primal can accomplish throughout gameplay in Maximal Mode, it is told on the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (video game)|''Beast Wars'' video game]] page, wherein Optimus Primal fills the role of the nameless Maximal.}}

The Beast Wars seemed over, but the captured Megatron had prepared for such a situation and was able to send a message to his past self via transwarp, causing history to be altered!

The battle was hard-fought, resulting in tragic casualties on both sides, but ended with Megatron’s capture.

===''Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars''===
Optimus Primal became involved in a series of disputes when a super-powerful [[energon crystal]] was discovered on [[Earth]]. He partook in a series of one-on-one battles, his goal to become the last warrior standing, allowing him to take possession of the crystal.

Optimus could also partake in various other tasks, such as a mission to break a boulder to reveal an energon crystal hidden within before sundown, using a block in a mission to defend himself against various incoming projectiles, and missions to run across a pit-riddled field, sometimes involving hideously large bacteria he had to fend off.

His old nemesis, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], was the final bot opposing him at the end of his quest. Overcoming his Predacon foe, he used the power of the crystal to finally defeat the Predacons, saving the universe! {{storylink|Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Warriors' Strongest Decisive Battle|Duel Fight Transformers Beast Wars}}

Optimus Primal participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! He appeared in multiple different bodies:
*''Optimus Primal'' — This Super Rare character was available as a reward in the "Beast Wars: Episode 1" event.
*''Optimus Primal Bat'' — This Epic character was available as a reward in the "Beast Wars: Episode 3" event.
*''Optimus Primal Transmetal'' — This Epic character first appeared in the "Transmetals: Beast Wars: Episode 1" event, and could be recruited by collecting 500 units of Transmetal, 250 units of Cybermetal, 100 event cores, and 50 cores of this character.

===''Transformers: Earth Wars''===
[[File:Optimus-Primal-Earth-Wars.jpg|thumb|400px|Battle Munky!]]
In an unknown time and place, the Beast Wars came to an end. Optimus Primal planned on going home to a new command, while [[Megatron (BW)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Megatron]] went into incarceration. {{storylink| Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Primal Instinct}} As the [[Autobot Shuttle Omega Delta|shuttle]] was traveling through chronospace, Optimus and Megatron found that they both reverted from their Transmetal forms to their original beast modes. {{storylink| Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|A Stitch in Time}} They were soon ripped from his place in space-time; Primal tried telling [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] to disengage their transwarp engines and abort their travel, to no avail. {{storylink| Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Mixed Signals}}

They ended up at 21st century Earth, just as the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and [[Predacon (G1)|Predacons]] were closing in to secure their new recruits. Optimus Primal decided to ally himself with the Autobots and figure out who brought him here and why. He was shoved aside by [[Grimlock (G1)|Megatron]], assumed Megatron was the future version of himself. After that mistake, Grimlock ordered the Dinobots to secure the... monkey. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|Blast from the Past}} {{storylink|Quantum Beast Leap}}

Optimus Primal soon figured out he was back on Earth and in the [[Transformers: Earth Wars|Earth Wars]], to his disappointment. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] came and questioned [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] on the ongoing battle between the Dinobots and the Predacons, and the new primate. Perceptor explained that the primate was a Prime and the idea was Grimlock's. Optimus Prime replied, "Well, that's just prime", and the annoyed Primal told him to get his own catchphrase.

==Notes==
*The design of Optimus Primal's bat form is an [[homage]] to [[Batman]], an action figure license also held at the time by [[Kenner]].<ref>Page 78, Toy database section in ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]''</ref>

*Optimus was given the rank of "Maximal General" on his punch-out card for Mcdonald's original Beast Wars promotion.

*Primal's gorilla mode, paired against [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s ''T. rex'' mode, was inspired by the showdown in ''[[King Kong]]''.<ref>[http://obscuretf.com/hhk/BC04interviews.html Botcon 2004 Interview with Vinnie D'Alleva], p2</ref>

*Indeed, gorilla Primal's original tech specs (which belong to the [[micro-continuity]] that takes place on modern-day Earth) seems to strongly imply that Primal is a building-scaling ape of Kong-like stature. As speculated in the ''Beast Wars'' volume of the ''[[Unofficial guidebooks#Cybertronian: The Unofficial Transformers Recognition Guide|Cybertronian]]'' action figure guide, this may have been intended to explain why he is [[Scale|in the same scale]] as Megatron, a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. This would also make somewhat greater sense in the context of the toyline itself, wherein the leader characters were of a much larger "Ultra" size-class than their minions, unlike their eventually much smaller depictions in [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|the CG cartoon]].

*In the ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (manga)|Beast Wars II]]'' issue "[[All Hands, Make a Special Attack on the Evil Planet!]]", [[Tasmania Kid]] calls Optimus Primal "'''Mr. Gorilla'''" (ゴリさん ''Gori-san''). Optimus likes the nickname.

[[File:OptimusPrimalBMconcept.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb]]

*Early concept artwork for the ''Beast Machines'' toyline depict Optimus's new body as having a white/silver, black, and red color scheme.

*According to his [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' toyline]] [[bio]], Optimus Primal is from "the future", suggesting the events of ''Robots in Disguise'' are somehow part of the [[Beast Era]]'s past. Though this could have been an element of ''Car Robots'' , RID's original counterpart being part of the Generation One continuity family in Japan and as shown in a [[Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)|2007 timeline]] the ''same'' continuity as their version of [[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)#Japan|Beast Wars]] in 2015 the Facebook version of [[Ask Vector Prime]] fleshed out a form of this, portraying a dimensionally-displaced Optimus Primal fighting a similarly displaced Megatron in the future of a ''Robots in Disguise'' universe before traveling to that universe's past to aid ''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime.

*"Powered Convoy", Optimal Optimus's Japanese name, is Ultra Magnus's [[pre-Transformer]] name in the [[Diaclone]] toyline.

*According to the control art of Optimus Primal's toy, his chest originally seemed to be a kind of launcher instead of being an homage to the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]].<ref>Page 50, Toy database section in ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]''</ref>

[[File:Targetmasters.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|And watch the cartoon, too! It's not nearly this pretty, but it gives you time to blink.]]
Despite the existence of comics, cartoons, and other media intended to advertise [[Toy|Transformers toys]], Hasbro has routinely commissioned standard [[television]] '''commercials''' to promote their current toy lines. These commercials typically use a combination of animation and live-action film featuring the characters/toys in question.

During the Generation 1 days, animation used in the commercials consisted largely of newly commissioned pieces that told a story. Since then, nearly all animation featured in ''Transformers'' commercials can be classified as either re-used excerpts from the current cartoon or short animations used to merely introduce the ad. Live-action toy segments have stayed mostly the same, with most US and international ads showing kids (or a pair of hands) transforming the toys. Japanese ads, by contrast, have shown a much larger preference for stop-motion toy segments.

As the goal of any advertising is to influence the viewer into buying the advertised product,''Transformers'' commercials have naturally played a large part in the perception of the [[Transformers brand]]. The narration of [[Victor Caroli]], along with the animation, enabled Generation 1 commercials to create the idea of a Transformers world with many stories to be told. The ''Beast Wars'' ad campaign created a similar feel of a whole world waiting to be explored but this time with organic beasts. This recurring theme of a huge world of stories has captivated many a Transformers fan and is largely responsible for the brand's rabid [[fandom]]. More recently, the massive ad campaigns for the [[live-action film series]] and associated merchandise has kept the Transformers brand in the eye of the public, and made the films feel like the blockbuster events they were intended to be.

As he tries to explain that he's not [[King Kong]], the scene reverses itself and he finds himself stuck in some sort of time loop.
: ''Notes:'' This ad doesn't mention anything about the series finale from which the animation is taken. In fact, this seems to be just a regular old promo for the show. Assuming this aired before [[Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall]], anyone eagle-eyed enough to spot Optimal Optimus' jetmode would've caught a hefty spoiler.

:*'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Ultra Magnus''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qIkfT81hOA&t=0m50s] - Same as previous commercial, but Neil Kaplan voices Optimus Prime and the narration is the actor used for the rest of the ''Robots in Disguise'' commercials.

As the toy leaves the frame, it's replaced by a yellow Chevy Camaro that the four boys take to be the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|real-life Bumblebee]]

}}

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.
The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]].

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jefire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some wierd pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]].
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime and Megatron still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based off of these [[IP infringing item|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based off of TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
** Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).

===Technical errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error| distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble #"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters sometimes walk in place for no reason for a few seconds.

These are just some minor visual errors, bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' (トランスフォーマー：アースウォーズ ''Toransufōmā: Āsu Wōzu'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''''Biànxíng Jīn'gāng: Dìqiú zhī Zhàn ''''' (变形金刚：地球之战, "Transformers: Earth Wars")

'''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' is a mobile game by [[Space Ape Games]]/[[Backflip Studios]] with a storyline written by [[Simon Furman]], which means plenty of [[Furmanism]]s. The aim of the game is to assemble an army and build a fortress, then try to defend your base while destroying the enemy's. Essentially, Transformers meets ''Clash of Clans'', without Hog Riders.
The setting is [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]].

==Plot==
The Autobots and Decepticons return to Earth to battle over resources. Furman promises that while it "appears to be about the same old stuff" initially, "as we progress through the game, more is revealed about Megatron’s master plan and what he’s looking for on Earth."<ref>[http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/02/10/transformers-land-mobile-earth-wars/80167164/ USA Today: "'Transformers' land on mobile in 'Earth Wars'"]</ref>

===Campaigns===
*'''Get Optimus / Get Megatron!'''
Jefire and Starscream arrive on Earth and set up their base of operations. Soon, Ironhide and Bludgeon arrive through their Space Bridges, and after raiding a few bases, both factions find a [[Quantum Crystal]] powerful enough to power their spacebridges and bring their leaders to Earth.
*'''The Lost Map'''
With the arrival of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the Autobots and/or Decepticons set out to find the [[Fractal Map]] pieces with the help of their human allies. Both sides find a Gunner Crystal and recruit Sunstreaker and Swindle.
*'''Power Play'''
After collecting three of the map pieces, both factions try putting the pieces they collected together, only to find out they need a [[Codex Key]] to break the encryption.
*'''The Codex Showdown'''
With the help of the recently recruited medics, Ratchet and Hook, both sides fight over the Codex Key, and find the location of a [[Enigma of Combination|legendary artifact]].
*'''Secrets of Nebulos'''
Some wierd pieces of [[Nebulos]] technology called '''"Power Cores"''' have landed on Earth. Starscream and Optimus gather some troops, and both Starscream and Optimus Prime fight over the Power Cores. The power cores gathered, however, have been rigged to explode, and so both sides have to start from scratch with building up their power core stocks.
*'''Combiner Wars'''
With the Enigma of Combination, the Autobots and Decepticons harness the power of Combiners. The gestalts prove unstable, however, and require Ore-13 and high-ranking bots to be useful.

==Gameplay==
===Alliances===
Alliances are the primary way to gain access to bots firsthand via events. Your alliance can also compete in Alliance Wars to determine who is better, and to see who comes up top! Compete in Alliance wars to gain resources, league promotions, and bragging rights!

You can join with other players in an alliance, or you can create your own for 15,000 Alloy! There are many notable alliances within the community!

A player must have Level 4 Headquarters or higher to join an Alliance, and up to 40 people can be in an Alliance.

===Classes===
*'''Warriors''' are armored front line melee fighters that rush into enemy defenses to open up the attack and protect other bots, but they have the lowest Damage per second (DPS). Warriors generally have a speed of 1.7, but some are slightly faster.
*'''Aerial''' units deal the highest DPS at a short range and can perform powerful airstrikes on single targets from great distances, but have low health. All air units have a speed of 2.
*'''Gunners''' shoot over walls and bombard large areas with their abilities from long range. like the Air units, they're deadly but vulnerable. All gunners have a speed of 1.8.
*'''Medics''' heal and support other bots in battle. They are only a few medics in the game, and they aren't durable themselves, so keep them in the back. Medics have a speed of 2.6.
*'''Special''' bots are highly individualized fighters with unique capabilities. This class incorporates leaders, scouts, and deployers.
*'''Combiners''' are a special class that must be summoned individually. They deal massive amounts of damage, but can only stay on the battlefield for so long. Their three abilities do not use ability points, but have cooldown times.

===Power Cores===
Power Cores are pieces of Nebulan Technology that are used to enhance bots and defenses.
There are quite a lot of powerful powercores. They can be obtained from ‘’’Power Chips’’’ or from Bot duplicates.

==Events==
Every weekend, for three days, events are held so players can win resources and new crystals. The events usually alternate between solo events and Alliance events each week. New characters are introduced with a story strewn across a four-week saga.

The various type of events are:
* A solo totaliser with various resource prizes, capped at 10,000 points.
* An Alliance single totaliser with a grand prize at around 200,000 points.
* An Alliance event with many prestiges to collect prizes and crystals multiple times.
* A single totaliser with multiple prestiges, which gives the same amount of battle points in all battle zones and triple XP.
* An Alliance totaliser and leaderboard event, with the top alliances receiving the newest 4 or 3 star character crystal and Premium Crystals. Or in some events, even more of the event's crystals.

{{main|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events}}

==Notes==
*Furman has said that early in production, "we had to base it in the IDW continuity as it turned out". He also revealed it was him who pushed for Bludgeon to make it into the game as well.<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/comic-writer-simon-furman-discusses-three-decades-of-transformers-and-new-game-earth-wars-707 Vice interview]</ref>
** A purple [[Decepticon Command Bunker]] can be seen in the mountainside of Decepticon bases as a counterpart to the Ark in Autobot bases.
*Character models are mostly based on each character's most-recent toy release. In many cases, this means ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'', ''[[Titans Return (toyline)|Titans Return]]'', ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]''. There are also some appearances from ''[[Thrilling 30]]'', ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'', ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'', [[Live-action film series|movie]]verse namesakes, and 'original' [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]].
* Though the game's dialogue is depicted using text boxes, Optimus Prime and Megatron still have voice lines. They are voiced, as usual, by [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]], respectively.
*Apparently, the Mastermind Creations toys of the Predacons inspired the staff so much, that the in-game models of the Predacons are based off of these [[IP infringing item|third party]] toys.
**The Predacons aren't the only ones guilty of this either! Motormaster had his in-game model based off of TransForm Mission's toy based on the Stunticon leader!
** Did we also mention that Menasor's model takes cues off of the "Perfect Effect" third party add on kit, along with the aforementioned Transform Mission toy.
* The only Furmanisms actually in the game are "It is over - finished!" (said by Optimus or Megatron after a victory) and "Now - Reap the whirlwind!" (spoken by Optimus Prime when deploying troops).

===Technical errors===
* You can count on pretty much any character with tall shoulders to have said shoulders clip and cut through the character model when in battle stance.
* Drift does an awkward shift when going from vehicle to robot and the opposite way, seeing as his body warps and shifts so that he faces sideways in bot mode. This happens every time he attacks and every time he changes form.
* Most characters with extended shooting animations will sometimes lag out and be out of sync with the shooting animation.
* If activating an Aerialbot's ability, he may circle the target pointlessly for a while. Sometimes he even goes underground.
* Rampage and Razorclaw can have a victory animation while in bot mode and charging when the battle ends. They even have their swords.
*Sunstreaker has a giant gap in the back of his combined form leg.
*Sometimes Blast Off has his combination process [[Animation error| distorted]].
*''Beast Wars'' Megatron's weapons sometimes don't properly align with the hand models.
*Sharkticons just don't know when to stop fighting. The animations for the fighting will still appear, and they still run to buildings, but they don't actually deal damage. Does not translate to Gnaw.
*Sometimes (although this is very rare), amalgamations will randomly appear, where parts of the robot mode and vehicle mode appear on the opposite modes. Examples include Blast Off becoming a [[Seeker (body-type)|Conehead]], Ironhide gaining his [[Ironhide (Movie)|movieverse]] look, and Optimus Prime having [[Kibble #"Faux-parts"|two truck cabs]].
*Characters sometimes walk in place for no reason for a few seconds.

These are just some minor visual errors, bugs that affect gameplay are promptly resolved.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''''Transformers: Earth Wars''''' (トランスフォーマー：アースウォーズ ''Toransufōmā: Āsu Wōzu'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''''Biànxíng Jīn'gāng: Dìqiú zhī Zhàn ''''' (变形金刚：地球之战, "Transformers: Earth Wars")

[[File:Targetmasters.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|And watch the cartoon, too! It's not nearly this pretty, but it gives you time to blink.]]
Despite the existence of comics, cartoons, and other media intended to advertise [[Toy|Transformers toys]], Hasbro has routinely commissioned standard [[television]] '''commercials''' to promote their current toy lines. These commercials typically use a combination of animation and live-action film featuring the characters/toys in question.

During the Generation 1 days, animation used in the commercials consisted largely of newly commissioned pieces that told a story. Since then, nearly all animation featured in ''Transformers'' commercials can be classified as either re-used excerpts from the current cartoon or short animations used to merely introduce the ad. Live-action toy segments have stayed mostly the same, with most US and international ads showing kids (or a pair of hands) transforming the toys. Japanese ads, by contrast, have shown a much larger preference for stop-motion toy segments.

As the goal of any advertising is to influence the viewer into buying the advertised product,''Transformers'' commercials have naturally played a large part in the perception of the [[Transformers brand]]. The narration of [[Victor Caroli]], along with the animation, enabled Generation 1 commercials to create the idea of a Transformers world with many stories to be told. The ''Beast Wars'' ad campaign created a similar feel of a whole world waiting to be explored but this time with organic beasts. This recurring theme of a huge world of stories has captivated many a Transformers fan and is largely responsible for the brand's rabid [[fandom]]. More recently, the massive ad campaigns for the [[live-action film series]] and associated merchandise has kept the Transformers brand in the eye of the public, and made the films feel like the blockbuster events they were intended to be.

: ''Narration:'' None, apart from "New Beast Machines Electronic Jetstorm and Electronic Nightscream sold separately" by Jetstorm Kid.
: ''Toy segment:'' Two kids ordering food are informed by the lady behind the counter that there is only one order of fries left, so they decide to fight it out with their Transformers. The "bad" kid grabs Ultra Jetstorm and shows it off for viewers' benefit, while the "good" kid transforms his Ultra Nightscream and shoots Jetty with his disk launcher.

: ''Animation:'' An excerpt from [[Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future]] as normal, then reversed in a loop.
: ''Narration:'' Unknown. An intentionally doofy voice dubs over Optimus Primal with any other voice removed and the original sound effects replaced with more comedic ones.
: A bewildered Optimus Primal finds himself falling and then grabs onto some molding on the side of a building. The molding gives way and he falls down the side of the building. He mistakes the sparks created by his scraping fingernails as something shooting from his fingers. He finally catches another piece of molding as Megatron (in his Optimal Optimus body) strafes him. As he tries to explain that he's not [[King Kong]], the scene reverses itself and he finds himself stuck in some sort of time loop.
: ''Notes:'' This ad doesn't mention anything about the series finale from which the animation is taken. In fact, this seems to be just a regular old promo for the show. Assuming this aired before [[Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall]], anyone eagle-eyed enough to spot Optimal Optimus' jetmode would've caught a hefty spoiler.

: ''Narration:'' [[Steve Blum]]
: ''Toy segment:'' Two kids who live next door to each other grab their respective Autobot Super figures and run into each other at full speed; as soon as they touch, they combine!
: ''Notes:'' One of the kids had a poster for the 1986 animated movie in his room. The whole commercial has a dubbed over feel, as Megatron and Optimus Prime sound nothing like the voices used for the show (presumably because casting had not yet been done) and the sound quality of the narration seems below that of the rest of the commercial.
:*'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Ultra Magnus''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qIkfT81hOA&t=0m50s] - Same as previous commercial, but Neil Kaplan voices Optimus Prime and the narration is the actor used for the rest of the ''Robots in Disguise'' commercials. Also, the background music doesn't stop while the kids shout to each other from their windows.

:Uploaded [[March 19]], [[2013]].
: ''Animation:'' A huge Kreon battle takes place on a lightly forested field. [[Springer (G1)|Springer]] takes down [[Ripclaw (Kre-O)|Ripclaw]]. [[Silverbolt (G1)|Sliverbolt]] pounds [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] into parts, then blasts [[Headlock]]. This happens just before [[Scorch (G1)|Singe]] drives up, then transforms and leaps into a corkscrew spin, ending with a missile blast. Someone with a high pitched voice: (in dismay) "No, they're combining!" The Combaticons and Predacons combine. A blue generic, Springer, [[Warpath (G1)|Warpath]], and Singe are chased by [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. This causes the generic and Warpath to run into each other and Silverbolt, of all bots, to complain that the combiners are showoffs. Ripclaw torches Springer's backside.

He runs across the beach and into a jungle, taking out a trio of pigs as he goes. Red stops at the sight of a pile of rocks which transforms into a robot in order to attack him. Red tries to fight back but finds his attack to be ineffective. This prompts him to use a [[telepod]] to call in [[King Pig]] to help him. After defeating the robot, Red goes to shake Pig's hand. Pig does the old "pull hand away and slick back your hair" trick and then laughs at Red. Jerk.

A comet?, streak of light? cross the universe and deposits the [[AllSpark#Angry Birds Transformers continuity family|AllSpark Egg]] onto a planet much like [[Earth|our own]]. The Angry Birds and Pigs race toward a standoff in a rocky, desert-like area. The Allspark egg turns them into the [[Autobird]]s and [[Deceptihog]]s. Nearby eggs are turned into the [[Eggbot (AB)|Eggbots]], who open fire on both groups. They also start turning rocks into automated gun turrets. Red and King Pig have a tense arm wrestling lockup which causes rocks to start flying. This is interrupted by the Eggbots who draw the Autobirds' full attentions.

{{Note|This trailer is an homage to the Season 1 [[title sequence]] of ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)|The Transformers]]'' complete with its own unique theme song (written in part by [[Vince DiCola]] himself) and the title text coming out from behind the volcano. The creators even went so far as to make the animation look like it's an authentic 1980's production ripped from a VHS tape with film defects and tracking issues.}}

Box B eventually manages to pop out of a hatch behind Bumblebee's head, and the zaniness of the whole thing gives both of them a good laugh.

[[File:Targetmasters.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|And watch the cartoon, too! It's not nearly this pretty, but it gives you time to blink.]]
Despite the existence of comics, cartoons, and other media intended to advertise [[Toy|Transformers toys]], Hasbro has routinely commissioned standard [[television]] '''commercials''' to promote their current toy lines. These commercials typically use a combination of animation and live-action film featuring the characters/toys in question.

During the Generation 1 days, animation used in the commercials consisted largely of newly commissioned pieces that told a story. Since then, nearly all animation featured in ''Transformers'' commercials can be classified as either re-used excerpts from the current cartoon or short animations used to merely introduce the ad. Live-action toy segments have stayed mostly the same, with most US and international ads showing kids (or a pair of hands) transforming the toys. Japanese ads, by contrast, have shown a much larger preference for stop-motion toy segments.

As the goal of any advertising is to influence the viewer into buying the advertised product,''Transformers'' commercials have naturally played a large part in the perception of the [[Transformers brand]]. The narration of [[Victor Caroli]], along with the animation, enabled Generation 1 commercials to create the idea of a Transformers world with many stories to be told. The ''Beast Wars'' ad campaign created a similar feel of a whole world waiting to be explored but this time with organic beasts. This recurring theme of a huge world of stories has captivated many a Transformers fan and is largely responsible for the brand's rabid [[fandom]]. More recently, the massive ad campaigns for the [[live-action film series]] and associated merchandise has kept the Transformers brand in the eye of the public, and made the films feel like the blockbuster events they were intended to be.

: ''Animation:'' An excerpt from [[Endgame Pt. III: Seeds of the Future]] as normal, then reversed in a loop.
: ''Narration:'' Unknown. An intentionally doofy voice dubs over Optimus Primal with any other voice removed and the original sound effects replaced with more comedic ones.
: A bewildered Optimus Primal finds himself falling and then grabs onto some molding on the side of a building. The molding gives way and he falls down the side of the building. He mistakes the sparks created by his scraping fingernails as something shooting from his fingers. He finally catches another piece of molding as Megatron (in his Optimal Optimus body) strafes him. As he tries to explain that he's not [[King Kong]], the scene reverses itself and he finds himself stuck in some sort of time loop.
: ''Notes:'' This ad doesn't mention anything about the series finale from which the animation is taken. In fact, this seems to be just a regular old promo for the show. Assuming this aired before [[Endgame Pt. II: When Legends Fall]], anyone eagle-eyed enough to spot Optimal Optimus' jetmode would've caught a hefty spoiler.

: ''Notes:'' One of the kids had a poster for the 1986 animated movie in his room. The whole commercial has a dubbed over feel, as Megatron and Optimus Prime sound nothing like the voices used for the show (presumably because casting had not yet been done) and the sound quality of the narration seems below that of the rest of the commercial.
:*'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Ultra Magnus''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qIkfT81hOA&t=0m50s] - Same as previous commercial, but Neil Kaplan voices Optimus Prime and the narration is the actor used for the rest of the ''Robots in Disguise'' commercials.

Once transformed, Bee is tickled by the Happy Meal box banging around inside him, trying to get out. Box B eventually manages to pop out of a hatch behind Bumblebee's head, and the zaniness of the whole thing gives both of them a good laugh.

He also hates [[Christmas]].

==Fiction==
===''Alternators'' toy bio===
[[Doctor Arkeville]] spent years personally constructing Nemesis Prime piece by stolen piece, hiding his handiwork from both [[Concurrence]] agents and the Decepticons. Designed to be the ultimate military commander, he had arguably the mightiest [[Binaltech]] Transformer body ever constructed, but it remained without a life-force. Dr. Arkeville planned to acquire one by tapping into an amazingly powerful extra-spatial source that the Autobot Translink Project had uncovered. It is unknown whether this final step ever came to fruition.<ref>[http://tformers.com/article.php?sid=6142 Nemesis Prime's ''Alternators'' bio.] This was not on the toy's packaging, but rather distributed online to Transformers news sites to promote the figure's availability at San Diego Comic-Con. It was later confirmed to be the work of [[Hasbro]] copywriter Forest Lee.{{fact}}</ref>

{{note|This is the only known ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' fiction, aside from a brief blurb on a promotional Mazda website for the "RX-8 Transformer" (which was later released as [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Alternators|Meister]]) that summarized the initial backstory of the first chapter of the ''Binaltech'' story. While it is clearly based on the ''[[Binaltech]]'' storyline, borrowing elements with no precedent in English-language canon, it differs from ''Binaltech''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Black Convoy" bio in some details and may be considered a separate continuity. Also, since this bio was only made public through online retailers with access to Hasbro's promotional material library and [[Ben Yee]]'s review of the Nemesis Prime toy, it's hard to say if the bio was ever actually "officially" released, even though release had been fully intended.}}

===''Story of Binaltech''===
Dr. Arkeville, seeking to create an evil leader greater than [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]], used a subspace impulse cloner to duplicate Optimus Prime (with a snazzy black-and-teal paint job). To this end, Arkeville twisted Prime's imported essence to evil with a rewriting program, but the clone still lacked life. He experimented with a subspace linkup to channel a life force, but the operation was interrupted: A time warp suddenly appeared and produced a [[Spark|mysterious orb]] which touched the clone body, causing the clone to both activate and vanish.

Meanwhile, on [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], the Autobots were enacting [[Operation: Distant Thunder]] to undo the changes that [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] had wrought upon the timeline. The Autobots had just send a drone into the past with the intent of restoring the correct timeline, expecting reality to change around them, returning to its proper state. Instead, the successful restoration of the correct flow of history caused their alternate timeline to become undone, as all of their reality was torn apart by warp holes. At that moment, Arkeville's clone appeared before them, extending his hands as an orb of light engulfed first the island, then the entire world. The warp holes were extinguished, and the clone announced that it had used the power of the spark that now inhabited it to preserve the "Binal-Time" that the Autobots inhabited. The Autobots continued questioning this "Black Optimus", who explained that he was a spark who had been sent back in time from the distant future, referring to himself only as "the [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Protector]]". His mission was to preserve the Binaltechs, as their existence would, in the future, bring about the [[Alternity]], a "great existence" involving beings who would ensure prosperity and protection across the multiverse.

When these explanations were done, the clone's core AI suddenly asserted itself, and he began taunting the Autobots, even manifesting a Decepticon symbol on his body. Using what remained of the Protector's power, the clone rejected his foreign spark and formed a warp portal back to Arkeville's lab. Reduced to an automated state, the clone still was able to leap through the portal to its creator. There, the doctor initiated another subspace translink experiment, this one succeeding in connecting the clone to an ancient, evil, greedy life force. At last, Arkeville's creation became Nemesis Prime. {{storylink|Binal Time}}

What happened to Dr. Arkeville after that is unknown, but soon after activation, Nemesis Prime began to make his move. When Megatron's forces attacked the [[Earth Defense Command]] base on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Nemesis Prime appeared to block any further progress by the Decepticon leader, refusing to let him dominate Earth's solar system, which Nemesis Prime desired for himself. Megatron was disgusted that an Earth-born machine would wear the Decepticon [[insignia]], but just as they were about to battle, across the galaxy, on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] accomplished his mission to activate the [[Quintesson]]-created [[Large switch|killswitch]], deactivating all non-Binaltech Transformers. Megatron was frozen, and Nemesis Prime calmly seized the opportunity to take power, ordering Shockwave to gather as many Decepticon bodies as possible. Seeing the logic in this order, Shockwave complied. Nemesis Prime sat on Megatron's throne and plotted future moves. {{storylink|Kill Switch}}

Seeking to make himself a true match for Optimus Prime, Nemesis Prime schemed to create an artificial [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] by using a device to wrench minds from their bodies and combine them in a crystalline storage unit. Attempting a test run in a human settlement in [[Australia]], Nemesis Prime was thwarted by a contingent of Autobots led by Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]. The two Primes went one-on-one during the ensuing battle, but when Optimus was sent tumbling into a riverbank, the Protector's spark flew to his aid and fused with him, lending Prime its power. Supercharged by the power of the Protector's spark, Optimus absorbed Nemesis Prime's next attack and redirected it upon his dark twin, who was engulfed and finally destroyed as his body exploded into shards. {{storylink|Unfinished Business, Part 4}}

===''Universe'' toy bio===
[[File:NemesisPrimebox.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|"They'll never guess I'm evil."]]
Nemesis Prime was the product of a mad plan by [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]], who put a lowly, unknown warrior through an excruciating rebuilding process, tortuously reforging him into the very image of Optimus Prime. Through forcible data uploads and brainwashing, the Decepticon was imbued with memories and skills culled from many sources, giving him much of Optimus Prime's knowledge and combat algorithms. This, however, cost him not just his sense of identity, but also any framework with which to process this knowledge. His creator having since perished, Nemesis Prime became a threat to all, skulking in the dark parts of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] and targeting both Autobots and Decepticons in his murderous insanity.<ref>[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&ST=SO&ID=22380&PG=1 ''Universe Classic Series'' Nemesis Prime's on-package bio]</ref>

===Loyal Subjects figure bio===
Nemesis Prime took the form of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] and went on a rampage bent on destroying whole worlds. It had no thoughts or allegiance to either Autobot or Decepticon and merely craved destruction. Its rampage threatened to upset the balance of power.

At one point shortly before [[Christmas]] it attacked [[Santa Claus]]'s village, utterly destroying it and incinerating the reindeer. It was challenged by {{w|The Elf on the Shelf|a teleporting elf}} who fought valiantly but was twisted into a scratch-back.

The Decepticons used it to turn Optimus Prime into Nemesis Prime, who turned the defense systems of the [[Spy Changer]]s' base against them. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/12}} Subsequently, however, Nemesis Prime made a play for leadership of the Decepticons, gaining the loyalty of [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Crash Test (G1)|Crash Test]]. [[Wheeljack (G1)#The Battle for Planet Earth|Wheeljack]] mused that turning Optimus evil may not have been the Decepticons' best idea. {{storylink|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric (2), 2016/05/19}}

An evil clone of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Nemesis Prime was fueled by the [[Dark Matrix of Leadership]], driven to annihilate all in his path.

Nemesis Prime was constructed from scrap and stolen parts by [[Doctor Arkeville]] in an attempt to create a robot rivaling Optimus Prime. The uncontrolled fury of the creation resulted in it getting loose and going on a rampage that was only stopped by the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]. Nemesis Prime was forced into a retreat. {{storylink|Nemesis Rising}}

Nemesis Prime was the result of [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave's]] [[Cloning|cyber-cloning]] experiments. He was programmed with some of Optimus Prime's skills and memories, but he lacked the experience to actually ''process'' them, which caused him to go a bit nutty, dedicating himself to tearing down everything Optimus stood for. Upon his arrival through the space bridge, Nemesis immediately declared himself the enemy of life.

When Nemesis first arrived on earth, he promptly proclaimed who he was to [[Megatron (G1)| Megatron]]. He then tracked down Optimus Prime's location with the help of [[Luca]], and went to destroy the Autobot outpost, only to be thwarted by Hot Rod. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Light Our Darkest Hour event}}

{{note|The [[Spy Changer]] version of [[Scourge (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Scourge]] was [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Nemesis Prime in "[[Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric|Renegade Rhetoric]]".}}

: The only new mold for this character, Spychanger Scourge was only available in a 2 pack with a Spychanger version of [[X-Brawn#Spychanger|X-Brawn]]. Like most Spychangers, she features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel her quickly.

: As with most of the new ''Robots in Disguise'' releases, the X-Brawn / Scourge pack was available in Japan as a 'USA Edition' mass-released toy.

: Ironically, this mold was later redecoed '''both''' as Generation 1 Spychanger [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Universe (2003)|Optimus Prime]] in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' toyline and as "Movie" [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus Prime Figure|Optimus Prime]] for a Japanese pack-in DVD exclusive.

*'''Nemesis Prime''' (2006)
**''Alternators ID number:'' '''24'''

: Nemesis Prime is a [[Black repaint|black]] [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]/[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] with red translucent windows and blue paint detail. Like Optimus, he transforms into a Dodge Ram SRT-10 at 1:24 scale, with opening doors, hood, and tailgate, plus an open passenger compartment. His engine transforms into a handgun.

: He was initially sold [[exclusive]]ly at San Diego Comic-Con 2006 and for a limited time at Hasbro Toy Shop, selling out roughly an hour after its 2pm sales debut. Prior to that, he was released in large quantities at regular retail in various Asian countries, becoming a [[shelfwarmer]] there, ironically.

: Later, he was offered in Australia through online stores. A few weeks later he showed up in massive numbers in the Australian retail store Toy World for half the price.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-17'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/blaster

: Black Convoy is the first ''Binaltech'' release since [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] in early 2006, and was available exclusively in Japan at the winter Wonder Festival in 2007. His plastic colors are different from Nemesis Prime's, with grey plastic replacing the black on his shins, waist, shoulders and forearms. In addition, Nemesis Prime's windows are tinted red, but Black Convoy's windows are completely clear. His paint deco is based upon ''Kiss Players'' Convoy's, arranged in the same patterns but using teal, and he has vacuum-metallized wheels and front grill. The paint deco on his head is meant to evoke that of Car Robots [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. Perhaps the most important differences are that he has die-cast metal parts, and most of his truck body panels are coated in gloss black paint.

: Perhaps due to cost-cutting, this toy was released in the large bubble-on-a-tray packaging also used in the ''Alternators'' line. However, he came with no character or packaging art.

: This figure was later [[repurposing|repurposed]] into a new body for [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] in the ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' fiction.

**''Series:'' Classic Series
**''Accessories:'' 2 smokestacks/"Stellar Converter Cannon", wind vane/"Disruptor Cannon"

:Nemesis Prime is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|Optimus Prime]], transforming into a modern cab-over style truck of made up model, dominated by a large aero fairing on his roof. Premiering as a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2008 [[exclusive]], it later saw wider release via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] as part of the Classics Series of the 2008 ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline. The figure largely follows the same paint application map as the original figure, with some minor omissions as well as new paint applications. As well, it features metallic purple and silver [[tampograph]]s of the Decepticon symbol on its forearm and shoulder, as well as red paint blocking the [[light-piping]] feature in the figure's head. Undocumented in the instructions, Nemesis can also use the wind vane as a shield, If one of his fists is folded down.

:In robot mode, his aero fairing transforms into a large "Disruptor Cannon", and his smokestacks transform into a smaller "Stellar Converter Cannon". Additionally, both can combine together to form a back-mounted shoulder weapon.

:He transforms into a Freightliner FL86, and comes with a hand-held laser blaster which can collapse and store inside a compartment on his back in either mode, as well as a battle axe that slips over Black Convoy's right hand. His chest opens up to reveal the removable Dead Matrix, which is made of [[die-cast]] metal, and can be held by one of Black Convoy's hands.

:When purchased from sellers supplied by Hasbro Asia, Black Convoy came with a collector coin, in a unique black metallic finish. The coin is mounted on a card resembling a dark-tinted Matrix which slides open laterally, like the Matrix itself, to reveal the coin inside.

**''Accessories'': Stand brick, Optimus rifle

:As part of the third wave of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] [[Micro-Changer]]s, Nemesis Prime is a Kreon that can be rebuilt into a cabover-style semi truck . He unsurprisingly reuses all of [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)|Optimus Prime]]'s parts, including his helmet, gun, and smokestacks, but comes with extra parts to turn him into a truck.

: This Micro-Changer assortment was the last one to appear at [[Target]], with later waves showing up only at [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] or drug/discount stores.

: Nemesis can't seem to catch a break in the [[stock photography]] department. His promotional online shots show him with this headpiece turned around inside his helmet, showing only a flat gray plastic instead of red eyes. Meanwhile, his truck-mode picture on the front page of his [[instructions]] are lacking the red windscreen [[paint operation]]s. In both photo sets, his helmet is missing all of its silver paint.

**''Accessories'': Logo plate, Optimus rifle

:In 2017, the Collection 3 Micro-Changers were re-released in a whole new production run, first appearing at [[Walgreens]] stores in the US. These releases use the almost-entirely-[[retool]]ed 2015 Kreon (making most parts incompatible with older Kreons), with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. Nemesis Prime's [[tampograph]]s are slightly altered, changing the flat light gray to metallic silver... and losing all of the silver on his helmet, ''and'' the cab-brick's windows.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

**''Series / Number'': '''08 / 018'''
**''Accessories'': Rotors
:A redeco of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GenerationsLegends|''Thrilling 30'' Legends Class Optimus Prime]], ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Nemesis Prime is about the size of a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. He transforms from a generic cab-over truck into a robot based on Optimus Prime's appearance in [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[The Transformers (IDW)|2009-2011 ongoing series]], and features [[5mm post|5mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He features teal paint on his hands, feet, knees, forehead, and even his mouthplate. (which is probably a nod to [[Nemesis Prime (Animated)|''Animated'' Nemesis Prime's]] teal detailing.)

: He comes with [[Spinister (G1)#Generations|Spinister]], who can transform into a helicopter, a robot with [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5mm handle.

:Hasbro's original [[Stock photography|stock photo]] for the figure depicting a hand-painted prototype shows Nemesis with Optimus Prime's ion cannon, which the final toy does not include. That weapon is instead included with the [[wave]]-mate [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#Suppressor|Cliffjumper]]/[[Suppressor (Generations)|Suppressor]] two-pack. The version of the photo featured on the back of the toy's packaging is massively edited (in addition to being shown as mirrored), with the weapon edited out and the rotor piece moved from Spinister's back to the hand that originally held the weapon. The stock photos also show a Decepticon insignia tampographed on his vehicle mode, which the final product didn't have.

He transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The individual truck transforms into '''Nemesis Pax''' and is able to form the core of Nemesis Prime's robot mode. His trailer forms Nemesis Prime's entire body, and his [[ion blaster]] can be split into two weapons. He includes the Dark Matrix of Leadership, which can store in his chest in the 'Evolved' form. The center of his Matrix can be replaced with any [[Prime Master]].

:He includes a pair of blasters that can be mounted on his forearms ([[Homage|homaging]] ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)#Toys|Nemesis Prime]]) or on his trailer (in the fashion of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#PMOP|Powermaster Optimus Prime]]) by flipping out a panel on each side of the trailer. He also comes with the Dark Saber and Giza, a robotic bird who transforms into a sword (in reference to the [[Giza (Prime)|Arms Micron partner]] of [[Nemesis Prime (Prime)|''Prime'' Nemesis Prime]]). Giza being a bird ''might'' also be an homage to the partnership between [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Power Surge|''Robots in Disguise'' Optimus Prime]] and [[Aerobolt]].

:Unlike other Power of the Primes figures, Nemesis Prime does not include a collector card featuring a Prime Master combination.

:Depending on the individual copy, Nemesis Prime is prone to having several [[quality control]] issues: ranging from two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, to Nemesis Pax's face being unpainted.

==Notes==
[[File:Generic decepticons marvel 1.jpg|thumb|You can tell I'm important 'cause I'm in color!]]
*A rather similar black redeco (allowing for 1980s Marvel coloring limitations) appeared leading the Decepticons' charge onto the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' in [[The Transformers (issue)|the first Marvel U.S. issue]].
*[[Forest Lee|The author of Nemesis Prime's ''Alternators'' bio]] has said that the "extra-spatial source" that Arkeville tapped into was actually a pocket dimension that served as [[Unicron]]'s power battery—and that Unicron gave Arkeville exactly what he wanted, in the form of a [[spark]] fragment from Unicron's [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|own attempt at cloning an Optimus Prime]].{{fact}}
*Nemesis Prime's ''Universe'' bio seems directly inspired by the Marvel UK "[[Two Megatrons!]]" storyline, which revealed that Straxus had rebuilt a "[[Archforce|hapless trooper]]" into a Megatron clone, complete with copied brain patterns. Unlike Nemesis Prime, however, this clone became a repository for Straxus's consciousness after Straxus's botched attempt to invade the original Megatron's mind.
*According to [[Hasbro]] copy writer [[Forest Lee]], the reference to Straxus was included in Comic-Con 2008 Nemesis Prime's bio entirely to make [[David Willis]] happy.
*Stellar Converter Cannons are also weapons found on the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Primus]] toy.
*The Loyal Subjects figure had 2 bios: a short version copied verbatim from the ''Armada'' [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]] article and a longer original write-up that includes a bizarre Christmas-themed rampage.
*The ''Masterpiece'' Black Convoy toy is used to represent a Decepticon truck transporting [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]] to a race in the [[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|''Transformers GT'' story pages]], though there is no indication it's actually him.
*[[Fun Publications]] scrapped tentative plans to do a ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Nemesis Prime toy because Takara did the similar [[Grand Scourge#Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'' Grand Scourge]]. Thus the Hasbro release of [[Motormaster (G1)#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' Motormaster]]'s alternate "pretooled" head went to [[Toxitron (G1)#Generations|Toxitron]] instead.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/127659-future-of-unite-warriors-from-figure-king/page-2#entry3212769 Post by Powered Convoy on The Allspark Forums, 2016/04/22]</ref>

'''Ore-13''' is the last of a series of artificially-created [[energon]]-derived ores seeded throughout the galaxy by [[Decepticon]] scientist [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]] as part of his [[Regenesis]] project. Taking root on the planet [[Earth]], Ore-13 boosts the power of [[Transformer]]s to extreme levels, leading those who later discovered it to term it '''"Ultra-Energon"'''; Shockwave favored the more prosaic name of "Power Itself" when christening the various ores after their different effects. It is not without drawbacks, however: while it will grant a user massively enhanced strength and durability, the more its power is drawn upon, the faster it burns out, leaving a user at risk of sudden de-powering in mid-combat.

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
In his youth as [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]]'s student, Shockwave spent a significant amount of time working on his pet project: a means to combat the increasing lack of resources that threatened Cybertron. As a [[Senate|Senator]], Shockwave developed the idea of seeding distant worlds with energon, but this idea would not come to pass until the era of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], after Shockwave's mind had been forcibly altered by [[shadowplay]]. {{storylink|Shockwaves}}

As the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] raged, Shockwave extrapolated that the war would eventually devolve into a struggle over resources. 600,000 years ago, he turned his original plans to synthesize resources into the [[Regenesis]] project, which seeded thirteen worlds with a potent distillation of standard energon. The seedings were designed to initiate a chain reaction which would produce Energon ore in plentiful supply, giving him the balance of power when the Energon shortages he had foreseen became inevitable. {{storylink|Spotlight: Shockwave}} Unbeknownst to anyone but himself, Shockwave had not chosen Earth at random — Shockwave had selected the world because he correctly believed that it had become the resting place for [[Nexus Prime]]'s [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|Shockwaves}}

A hundred thousand years later, Shockwave abandoned the Decepticons to investigate the progress of his ores, where the "Ore-13" had reacted with the local geology, threatening to become so overwhelmingly rich in Energon that the environment would become anathema to Cybertronians. Shockwave arrived over Earth ten thousand years ago, at the end of the last [[Ice Age]], to continue the plan by stabilizing the ore before it destroyed the planet. {{storylink|Spotlight: Shockwave}} The [[Eukaris|Eukarian]] starship ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' had simultaneously detected samples of his energon and made a diversion to Earth to refuel. Shockwave shot down the ship and used its crew in a [[Ice Age Wars|cruel experiment]] before returning to his business. {{storylink|Strange Visitors}}

Shockwave created global dampers that he then injected into the planetary crust to regulate the reaction, allowing the ore to safely develop into Ultra-Energon. Before he could finish the stabilization process, he was ambushed by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dynobots]] and left buried by a failsafe [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] had arranged, that triggered a volcanic eruption in what would be later [[Nevada]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Shockwave}}

When Shockwave's absence was discovered by [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]], he assigned [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] to investigate Shockwave's plans, and [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to spy on Bludgeon in turn. While Bludgeon discovered the full extent of Shockwave's plans he fed little of it back to Megatron—and Soundwave did likewise. {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}}

Around ten thousand years later,<ref>[[Maximum Dinobots issue 5|''Maximum Dinobots'' #5]]: [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]] to [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] - "Ten thousand, three hundred and ninety-six years, two months and three days."</ref> [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was devastated by [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]] and left uninhabitable. {{storylink|The Transformers: Stormbringer |Stormbringer}} Some time later, however, Bludgeon and his team returned to the planet in secret to begin work on restoring Thunderwing, and in preparation for creating their own [[Pretender|bio-grafted exo-shells]]. To do this, they needed power, and so they proceeded to Earth in the early [[1980]]s to mine "Ultra-Energon". {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}} Eventually, Bludgeon's unit succeeded in restoring Thunderwing with the Ultra-Energon. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2}} Soon, the drawback of the powerful substance became clear: The infused Transformer was rendered far more powerful than ever, ''but'' the Ultra-Energon burned itself out far faster than normal energon, and the more power the Transformer drew on, the faster his super-powered "high" burnt away. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 4}}

Circa 2006, [[Skywatch]] would experiment with the substance inside a [[Project Hot House|classified research bunker]] that had been retrofitted from Bludgeon's abandoned base. By using supplies of the material in conjunction with the alien artifact code-named "[[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]]", [[Joe Colton]] and [[Merklynn|Garrison Kreiger]] were—after tricking [[Sgt. Savage]] into unwittingly activating the device—able to refine the volatile energies of the Talisman into a corrosive anti-Cybertronian weapon. {{storylink|When Eagles Scream}}

In the meantime, the presence of Ultra-Energon had been independently discovered back on Earth by a Decepticon infiltration team led by [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]]. It was dubbed Ore-13. After exhausting a vein of the ore beneath the original command bunker in [[Nebraska]], Starscream built a second command bunker over a richer vein in [[Oregon]]. Although it was not enough to give Starscream any appreciable edge over Megatron, both Decepticons and [[Autobot]]s believed Ore-13 could drastically tip the balance of their entire interstellar conflict. {{storylink|The Transformers: Infiltration|Infiltration}}

After [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]]'s arrival on Earth, he battled the Ore-13-enhanced Megatron and was nearly deactivated, surviving only by downloading his consciousness into his [[trailer]] section. However, realizing that Ore-13 was Ultra-Energon, he communicated its weakness to the other Autobots, who successfully ran Megatron down until Prime could return to his body to deliver a ''coup de grâce'' just as the Ultra-Energon high faded away. Retrieved by [[Skywarp (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Skywarp]], Megatron proceeded to purge his systems completely of the Ultra-Energon in a [[CR chamber]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: Escalation|Escalation}}

The forces of the [[Dead Universe]] specifically protected Earth from the [[Reaper]]s {{storylink|The Transformers: Devastation|Devastation}} due to its Ultra-Energon; their grand scheme was reliant on vast amounts of the energy, in which Earth was now rich. {{storylink|Spotlight: Doubledealer}}

A few years later, Shockwave used Ultra-Energon to build a new body for Megatron. {{storylink|Revenge of the Decepticons Part 5: Enemy Mine|Enemy Mine}}

[[File:SinsoftheWreckers3 Ultra Energon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

As part of his [[Dark Cybertron (prophecy)|master plan]], Shockwave merged Ore-13 with [[Ore-1]], the fusion of the two ores allowing him control of all time in the universe. When all the assembled ores were merged through his [[chronal drive]], Shockwave sought to use them to collapse all of time and space into raw fuel for [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}}

When the unaligned scientist [[Tarantulas (BW)|Mesothulas]] traveled to Earth, he discovered Ore-13 in its most potent form. From his experiments, he developed a modified, synthetic version he termed [[Obtenteum]], which he used to fuel his most powerful creations such as the [[Tor]] and his army of [[Chimeracon]]s. {{storylink|Sins of the Wreckers issue 3|Sins of the Wreckers #3}}

The [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] teleported to Earth and settled above a large deposit of Ore-13 buried beneath [[Monument Valley]]. {{storylink|White Heat}}

[[File:SecretRaiders-ore13.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

After Optimus Prime annexed Earth into the [[Council of Worlds]], {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth| Once Upon a Time on Earth}} the tyrant [[Baron Karza]] began transporting samples of the ore to [[Microspace]] via [[Micronus Prime|Micronus Prime's]] [[Space bridge|spacebridge]] in an attempt to save his own universe from a destructive [[entropy storm]]. {{storylink|O Ship of State}} As a side effect of the matter transportation process, many deposits of Ore-13 became unstable and threatened to destroy the Earth in a cataclysmic explosion, something [[Scarlett]] and [[Joe Colton (Dire Wraith)|Joe Colton]] wrongly held Optimus responsible for. {{storylink|Secret Raiders: A Revolution Prelude|Secret Raiders}} The destruction of [[Mount Olympus]], housing a rich vein of Ore-13, galvanized the United States government into launching a preemptive strike on the Transformers. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}}

The [[Dire Wraith]]s were likewise drawn to Earth for its supplies of Ore-13; with it, they could enhance their [[magic]]al powers and make themselves harder to detect. The [[Space Knight]] [[Rom]] found that [[Ore-12|his armor]] reacted to Ore-13 and exploited to try and send the crystals into Microspace, hopefully putting it beyond the Wraiths' grasp, before Optimus Prime talked him down. {{storylink|O Ship of State}}

The Wraith that had been impersonating [[Joe Colton]] carried around a case of Ore-13 which he intended to deliver to his superiors before Rom killed him. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}} The case fell into the hands of the [[President of the United States]]. As the Wraith invasion was obvious at this time, it was entrusted to [[Marissa Faireborn]] only for the Wraiths in the [[White House]] to obtain it. The leader of the Wraith cell used the Energon to enhance herself but was ultimately impaled on the [[Washington Monument]] by [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]]. {{storylink|Thundercracker & Buster Save the World}} Eventually, human collaborator [[Miles Mayhem]] openly challengd the Autobots and their allies for their supply of Ore-13, leading to an all-out battle in Monument Valley. When Baron Karza was defeated in the battle, the Ore-13, no longer destabilized, returned to normal and the crisis had passed. {{storylink|Valley Forge}}

[[File:ToWalkAmongTheChosen-Ore13Matrix.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Some months later, a wandering tribe of [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s arrived on Earth, drawn to the planet's ample supplies of the mineral. While awaiting their arrival on the [[Matterhorn]], Prime's half [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] glowed in response to the ore's presence.
Hoping to use the superfuel to restore their [[Junkion (planet)|old homeworld]] to its former glory, the Junkion leaders [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Rum-Maj]] offered a [[positron core]] in return. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}}

After the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] had rendered much of Cybertron's energon unpalatable for Cybertronian consumption, {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}} Optimus oversaw the extraction a large Ore-13 deposit in [[Kentucky]]. The raw power in the one shipment being enough to power Cybertron and its colony worlds for weeks. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}}

Upon learning that [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] was deliberately withholding his [[teleportation]] powers from him, [[Skywarp (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Skywarp]] went behind their backs to try and gain the Ore-13 he needed to fix himself. {{storylink|Scarlett's Strike Force issue 2|Scarlett's Strike Force #2}}

Once [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] had begun consuming the worlds that were seeded with Regenesis ores, Optimus Prime realized the Ore-13 would eventually draw the monster to Earth. {{storylink|Our Darkest}}

Ore-13 is an mysterious substance that is an alternative to the [[Enigma of Combination]] for activating Combiners. After building a Combiner Lab, the Ore-13 Harvester and Ore-13 Storage can be built. If a player has a complete combiner, 25 Ore-13 is required to activate it and bring it into play for a limited time. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars}}
