Spiderman: Prowl and Blue streak. Same as last year's model.

I want to delete this account. I don't care about Transformers anymore because I've felt RUINED FOREVER with mainline because everything is just rehash of the same few guys with bland incremental design changes. Also this site is a security risk.

Talk:Burn Out (Diaclone)

2016-05-27T21:28:47Z

Spiderman:

Does Burn Out really go in the "Female Transformer" category? She's female, but she's a piloted mech with an AI, and is in no way an actual Transformer except in outward appearance. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] ([[User talk:ItsWalky|talk]]) 00:03, 19 June 2015 (EDT)

Nightbird is an AI and gets Female Transformer category. Should be listed under "Half-qualifiers" on list of Female Transformers and tagged Female Transformer on her page.

'''Optimus Prime tries to come to terms with how the Camiens see him, as the Decepticons prepare to make their move on Earth and Cybertron.'''

==Synopsis==
As [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] broadcasts a speech to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], rallying the [[Decepticon]]s there to action, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] meets with the [[Mistress of Flame]] on [[Caminus]]. Optimus attempts to explain to her the significance—or lack thereof—that being [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] has on Cybertron in comparison to the Camiens' deification of the title, but the Mistress passionately insists that while the circumstance of his becoming a Prime may be different, his dedication to freedom for all marks him as the good, pure soul that they believe a Prime should be. Prime has helped Caminus and Cybertron work together to gain more freedoms for one another through co-operation... could not the same, she proposes, be done for [[Earth]]?

On Earth, the injured [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] awakens in a darkened room, screaming in agony as the vat of liquid he finds himself floating in seeps into his wounds and burns his [[spark]]. Unbeknownst to the [[Autobot]], he has been captured by [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]], who is attempting to dissolve his metal body and convert it into lonsdaleite, a mineral with a hexagonal diamond lattice that Blackrock requires for another mysterious project—an action that even [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] finds horrifying...

On Cybertron, Optimus returns through the [[space bridge]] and meets with [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] to discuss progress on the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]]. As they walk through the streets of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], they observe an altercation between some Camien pamphlet distributors and [[Slag (G1)|Slug]], still nursing a grudge over his recent butting of heads with Prime and tired of listening to their praise for him. The other Dinobots manage to haul Slug off, but one of the Camiens, [[Sterling]], has grown tired of trying to convert an uninterested populace and leaves for the day. Impressed by how the other Camien, [[Aileron]], handled herself during the fracas, Optimus introduces himself to her; she immediately falls on her knees before him, but an embarrassed Optimus asks her to get up, and invites her to talk so he can learn more about Caminus and how its people see him.

Aboard the [[Nemesis (G1)|''Nemesis'']] on Earth, the Decepticons make their plans to obtain the Autobots' space bridge, sealed up inside the inverted deflector shield Blackrock has surrounded the ''[[Ark-7]]'' with. Galvatron sees something familiar in the ebony sphere that envelops the ship, something he recognizes from his youth, and prepares to act before the Autobots can use the bridge for their own ends... which is just what [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], and [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] are attempting to do at that moment, as they fight their way through the ''Ark-7'' defenses to get to the bridge. Alpha Trion seems without hope, believing that the code from the [[Enigma of Combination]] that has brought about their plight cannot be combated by mere mortal 'bots, but Arcee is far from convinced.

As the sun sets, Prime and Aileron talk, with Prime contrasting Aileron's wide-eyed optimism with the Mistress of Flame's discontent in what she sees as his failure to be more involved in the workings of his planet. Aileron feels badly for the lonely Prime, wishing he had someone better suited to talk to about these problems—then hits upon a solution. Prime should seek out the ones who were responsible for helping Aileron herself see the light: the [[Torchbearer]]s!

At the Decepticons' [[Jupiter]] commune, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] welcomes the passengers of the ''[[Peace Without Tyranny]]'', the first ship of new arrivals, to their new home. [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] and [[Sky-Byte (G2)|Sky-Byte]] are the first off the ship, with Slugslinger pointing out that buying passage off Cybertron was expensive, and that they would do well to get the promised space bridge up and running soon. Soundwave assures him a plan is in motion... but is cut off mid-sentence as he hears [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] calling out to him from across the solar system. Alone and scared, fearing all his comrades are dead, Cosmos requests permission to come aboard the commune, and Soundwave welcomes him in.

Back on Cybertron, [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] has another "conversation" with the imaginary vision of [[Bumblebee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Bumblebee]] he has begun seeing, who continues to needle him and remind him that nobody likes him or wants him in charge, and that all he has on his side is [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]]. Even Starscream doesn't really believe Rattrap is loyal to him... at which point Rattrap enters to announce that couple of insistent visitors have arrived. [[Needlenose (G1)|Needlenose]], [[Brawl (G1)|Brawl]], and [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] push past him, and politely but menacingly insist that they will be requiring use of the space bridge this evening, and that Starscream will need to look the other way when they do...

==Quotes==
"Don't be so sure which side Rattrap is on." 
"Uh-huh, well, I trust him as far as I can throw... well, I could throw him pretty '''far''', I guess."
:—'''Optimus Prime''' and '''Windblade'''

"Someone '''other than''' us has made a move in this game. And in doing so '''crippled''' our enemies. Sealed them inside a '''black egg''' the likes of which I have not seen since my '''youth'''." 
"'''You''' were young?" 
"The '''stars''' were young once. Before the '''galaxy''' became what it is now." 
"Uh. Which is?"
"'''Ours.'''"
:—'''Galvatron''' and '''Astrotrain'''

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
* Windblade recaps the events of her [[The Transformers: Windblade|recently-concluded series]] for Optimus Prime, describing the alliances that were forged with [[Velocitron]], [[Eukaris]], [[Devisiun]], and [[Elita One]].
* Optimus cautions Windblade not to assume Rattrap is loyal to Starscream, alluding to the revelation that he was actually working secretly with [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], discovering during ''[[Combiner Wars]]''. Rattrap himself has previously expressed surprise to learn that Optimus had not out-and-out ''told'' Windblade about this, in [[Windblade vol. 2 issue 4|''Windblade'' #4]].
* Aileron previously appeared handing out fliers back in [[The Transgressors|issue #44]]; the red and blue robot seen with her in that story is here revealed to be named [[Sterling]]. She also refers to another 'bot named [[Swift]] who has since "run off with some loser", who is presumably the green helicopter 'bot seen with the pair in the same issue.
* Dinobots don't take well to authority figures at the best of times, but Slug's had a bit of a beef with Optimus Prime going on since [[The Transformers: Punishment|''Punishment'']], in which Prime yanked the Dinobots around and said some pretty terrible things to them as part of an unfortunate but necessary plot to lure a killer out of hiding. This plot thread will carry on into ''[[The Transformers: Redemption]]'', in which the scene of Slug accosting Sterling and Aileron is duplicated.
* The automated defenses of ''Ark-7'' include drones of the same model as [[D.0.C.]], lacking his fwiendly widdle face.
* Although the characters themselves do not appear in the issue (aside from [[Pyra Magna]] showing up in a one-panel half-flashback), we learn a little more about the [[Torchbearer]]s this issue, who previously turned up in [[An Uneventful Night|''Combiner Hunters'']]. They are religious emissaries and acolytes of the Mistress of Flame, who all share a color scheme that marks them as bearers of this title. There are always six Torchbearers, representing the "hexagonal lattice" of Solus Prime's [[Creation Lathe]]—a nugget of information that clearly implies Blackrock's experiments with hexagonal lattices have far-reaching origins and intentions.
* A new group of Torchbearers has replaced Pyra Magna's team in their duties, as Magna's group is currently staying on Cybertron and living in the "worst part" of the planet, indicating they have chosen to stay in the [[Rust Sea]] following their adventure there in the ''Combiner Hunters'' one-shot.

===Transformers references===
* Galvatron's speech at the start of this issue ("We are conquerors!" "Only we have the right to wear this symbol!") is paraphrased from the original [[Commercial/Generation 1|1985 commercial]] promoting the addition of [[rubsign]]s to ''Transformers'' toys.
* The 'bot standing behind Sparkstalker and Sinnertwin as they watch Galvatron's broadcast doesn't ''seem'' to actually ''be'' [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]], but he ''has'' stolen Onslaught's color scheme from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]]. The big guy on the right of the same panel, with the shoulder wheels and spikes, looks like he's borrowed [[Toxitron (Animated)|Toxitron]]'s paint job.
* As Windblade describes the colonies that alliances have been made with, she singles out Elita One as an odd case, and Prime takes interest, in a quiet nod to Prime and Elita's relationship in the Generation 1 cartoon.
* Having recognized the [[Onyx]] source code as being from the [[Enigma of Combination]], Alpha Trion names two other [[Artifacts of the Primes]]: the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Sabre]], [[Prima (G1)|Prima]]'s sword, and the "Onyx Triptych", clearly another, slightly grander-sounding name for [[Onyx Prime (G1)|Onyx Prime]]'s [[Triptych Mask]].
* There are other 'bots aboard the ''Peace Without Tyranny'' besides Slugslinger and Sky-Byte, but we only see one clearly; he features the purple color scheme that Soundwave sported in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Marvel Generation 1 comic]].

===Real-world references===
* This chapter's title, "Aphelion", is a word meaning the point of orbit at which a celestial body is furthest from the sun.
* Alpha Trion describes the Artifacts of the Primes as "weapons of the gods" and "metaphors made real", terminology very evocative of writer Grant Morrison's take on Jack Kirby's ''New Gods''. Morrison described these alien gods as wielding "concept-weapons" and "hunter-killer metaphors", conceptual outgrowths of Kirby's original "anti-life equation".

Burn Out and Lift-Ticket appeared on the Axiom Nexus, soon disappearing after encountering a certain group of breaking out criminals. However, they were actually tracking the Waruders hive. The duo signaled to General Optimus Prime and Sgt. Hound the location of it and began fighting. The initial plan was to collect the Waruders' venom to build an anti-toxin. Lift-Ticket noted that the Waruders may go ballistic after this process but it didn't matter as Lift-Ticket soon took a severe strike, with Cline barely escaping. He noted that he was okay, but was visibly upset when he thought Megatron was going to kill the Waruders' leader. Cline later conversed with Sgt. Hound about the duo's mission and while they lost original target what they learned means they might not actually need to fight the Waruders anymore and how the Waruders seemed to have developed a lot faster than what it would seem they would have done.

The duo signaled to General Optimus Prime and Sgt. Hound the location of it and began fighting. The initial plan was to collect the Waruders' venom to build an anti-toxin so Burn Out ran cover fire, impressing Sgt. Hound. When Lift-Ticket took damaged, Burn Out expressed fear over Cline's safety. Dia's first appearance as herself was when peace was made with the various groups. She received a fistbump from Sgt.

[[File:Burn Out Cybertron's Most Wanted.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Yup.]]

'''Burn Out''' is one of the results of the [[Diaclone project]], a mech assigned to [[Dia]] that uses her personality as the basis of its AI. Unfortunately, since Dia herself is stoic, determined, and ''stubborn'', the AI often clashes with Dia on the best course of action, which tires out the pilot more than actually piloting the mech. Her solution? Turn off the voice command function.

While on the small side of Diaclone mechs, Burn Out possesses an impressive array of weaponry, including pulse rifles and concussion levelers.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Override was once an Autobot soldier in the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. Centuries later, her body was barely functional, and the only source of fulfillment she could get was watching her descendants, the [[Maximal]]s, fight to the death against [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s.

Override was the administrator of the [[Dodecahex]] Arena. Once, a contestant tried to escape the arena into the river flowing through Dodecahex. Afterwards, Override seeded the river with [[alloygator]]s and [[oxide shark]]s to prevent repeat incidents.

She was overseeing the fateful 1924th [[Games]] when [[Lio Convoy (BWII)|Lio Convoy]] sneaked a team of rebels led by [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] into the broadcast center. Blackarachnia's team members took out Override's [[Maximal Command Security Force|MCSF]] guards while Blackarachnia herself held Override at gunpoint to stop the Builder from activating the automated defense systems. As Blackarachnia's team took control of the broadcasting equipment to continue focusing on Lio Convoy, Override asked why the Maximals were doing such things to their ancestor. Blackarachnia merely replied that the impending announcement was too important to risk letting a Builder jam it. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}}

'''Megatron prepares to use the ''Hydra Cannon'' to destroy the Autobots' base on Earth from space.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Sshot-arm-39-1.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hey, it's a Christian Rock Album]]
As [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Hydra Cannon|new weapon]] causes panic on [[Earth]] and the sky is filled with a strong green haze, the kids don't know what action they should take next.

On board the [[Decepticon]]s' ship, Megatron annoys [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]] by laughing at the tactician's silly head. To himself, Thrust mocks Megatron's silly head. Outside, the force fields block [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]]'s efforts to attack the ship.

The [[Autobot]]s wonder how to destroy the Decepticon ship without killing the [[Mini-Con]]s in its core. [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] angrily blames the entire situation on [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]], and goes so far as to yell at [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] for letting Starscream join the Autobots. Instead of responding, Optimus leaves to let Hot Shot whine vengeance on the edge of sanity.

In the warp room, Optimus Prime inspects his own [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] before Jetfire returns. When the Autobots and kids assemble in the warp room, Optimus announces he has a plan to save Earth. Hot Shot's request to join both Prime and Jetfire are shot down, and in exchange, Prime attempts to pass the Matrix on to Hot Shot, who refuses to accept it.

[[File:Crisis Optimus blocks Hydra Cannon.jpg|200px|thumb|Somebody is getting pregnant.]]

Starscream considers his position with the Decepticons. When requested, he puts aside the compassion he's learned and fires upon Earth, even if it harms humans. But when the shields are lowered to fire, Prime and Jetfire take advantage of the window and begin to attack.

The Decepticons rush out to fight the two Autobots. Eventually Megatron and Optimus are faced against each other, but his desire to save Earth causes Optimus to glow yellow and use his body to block the ''Hydra Cannon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s energy blast.

[[File:Crisis Optimus Prime dies.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hey guys, it's just like that scene in the obscenity-filled uncut version of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' where Prime disintegrates! I really saw it as a kid, while playing with my blue [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] toy!]]

Optimus Prime holds back the blast (visible on Earth). With pieces of him breaking off, he pushes the blast back over the Decepticon ship. When the cannon is spent, Optimus stands, bleached white. Right when the kids happen to see the Autobot leader standing, [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|he shatters into tiny fragments]]. The kids, the other Autobots, and even Megatron shout concerned yells.

The Decepticons retreat, while Jetfire recovers [[Sparkplug (Armada)|Sparkplug]] and Optimus Prime's Matrix.

==Quotes==
"But Rad, we can't stand around and not say anything while the whole stinkin' planet blows up to smithereens."
:—'''Carlos'''

"Do as the Squidhead says, men." 
"...Squidhead? Even you, Megatron?"
:—'''Megatron''' begins to belittle '''Thrust'''

"Ha ha! Don't you just love watching those miserable mechanical morons attempt to attack me, Squidhead?" 
''[to self]'' "I wish he wouldn't call me that any more. How would he like to be called flathead?" ''[giggles]'' 
"So why don't you share your little joke with everyone?" 
"Ahem, I wasn't laughing, sir." ''[to self]'' "Flathead, boy, I can really dish it out." 
"You, are a freak."
:—'''Megatron''' and '''Thrust'''

"You have betrayed my trust on more than one occasion Starscream, but you always seemed to return to the Decepticon fold when it really mattered. So can I trust you this time? Well Starscream?"
:—'''Megatron''' to Starscream, describing [[Starscream (disambiguation)|the problem]] [[Megatron (disambiguation)|they]] generally have.

==Notes==
===Differences with ''Micron Legend''===
{{epstub}}
*In Micron Legend, Thrust's nickname for Megatron was in reference to his horns invoking the appearance of a stag beetle, instead of flatness.

===Animation and technical errors===
*One newsreader has a name plate on his desk reading "Jhon Thompson".
*When Jetfire transforms after hitting the shield, he raises his arms presumably anticipating his shield and gun attaching, but they never appear. A moment later they are present on his arms.
*When Optimus is explaining that it might be the final battle, his grille is missing.
*When Optimus activates the power of matrix, his left leg is miscolored gray.

===Transformers References===
*When Optimus shows Hot Shot the Matrix and identifies it, he states that it's a gift from the original Transformers, and that it holds all the data from previous commanders, like its Generation 1 counterpart.
* Optimus then asks Hot Shot to hold onto the Matrix for him. Hot Shot's Japanese name is Hot Rod, a name shared with [[Hot Rod (G1)|a holder of the Matrix]] from Generation 1.

== Notes ==
*Filch is derived from a term for stealing, which matches her apparent kleptomaniac tendencies.
*Unlike most of the Robots in Disguise Decepticons, it appears that her bird form is actually her [[alternate mode]] with a more humanoid form's silhouette shown.
