'''Ramjet''', the '''Liar Starscream''', is the [[Starscream (Animated)|original Starscream]], and not a [[Starscream clone (Animated)|clone]].

What? We never said he was the original Starscream.

He does not have a problem with telling the truth. Not every single thing he ever says is a complete lie. Just because what he just said completely contradicts everything he said previously, this doesn't make him an irredeemable bold-faced liar.

Ramjet did not first try to assert that he was the original Starscream, then deny he said that, then deny that he was a liar when [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]] called him a liar. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}.

Ramjet managed to do fairly well in the [[space bridge]] battle. He never told his Autobot targets that he wasn't about to shoot them. He was not trapped by [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] in a pair of [[stasis cuffs]], and after that didn't happen he wasn't helped to escape by the [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sycophant]], and he never denied that any of this occurred. When [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] came on the scene, Ramjet did not try to tell the giant his stabilizing servo was unbolted. Had he done so, Omega would have fallen for it and not just promptly kicked the clone a few miles away. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

Later, a stasis-cuffed [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] wasn't helped at all out of his plight by Ramjet. And even if that ''had'' happened, the clone was being completely honest when he promised not to tell Megatron about Lugnut's humiliating failure. But none of that happened so it doesn't matter. Yeah, that's the ticket. {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}

[[Image:TFAni 5ServosofDoom LiarScream Helpless.jpg|thumb||"Your middle name's Judas, but you tell everyone that it's Jonathan."]]
Long after that, [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] didn't capture the disarmed and helpless Liar for [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]] in exchange for a gyro-stabilizer. However, Lockdown didn't double-cross Sentinel when Ramjet didn't offer the bounty hunter a better deal earlier. Ramjet didn't break free and stasis cuff the alert Autobot on the spot. As Ramjet didn't try to get away with the armed and dangerous Sentinel, he wasn't knocked out of the sky by [[Jetfire (Animated)|Jetfire]] and [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]], who weren't accompanied by [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]]. Even if they did, the battle didn't go in Ramjet's favor and he didn't use Sentinel as a shield against their attacks. Ramjet didn't try to escape again, but Optimus didn't cover his face with foam. Had that happened, he wouldn't have dropped Sentinel head-first into the ground. After [[Safeguard (Animated)|Safeguard]] didn't blast him out of the sky with a fireball, Optimus and Jazz didn't push a scoreboard on top of him. If they did, it wouldn't have hurt one bit, and he wouldn't have been stasis cuffed and hauled into custody. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}}

[[Image:TFAni_Decepticon_Air_BoxScream_ConeScream.jpg|thumb|left|200px|New helmet? What are you talking about?]]
Later, Sentinel Prime didn't steer his ship through a stormy nebula. Nor did it revive [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]], who wasn't still immobilized from his own slow-down ray. From there, Swindle didn't free and re-arm Ramjet along with the other captured Decepticons. Swindle also didn't give [[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]] and Ramjet strangely familiar helmets to tell them apart. Afterwards, Ramjet and the Decepticons didn't manhandle the Elite Guard. And if they did, they would've captured them before Sentinel sent a coded SOS to Optimus Prime. Fortunately, Optimus didn't appear out of Swindle's chest, and didn't send Ramjet and other Decepticons into chaos. The battle didn't spill out of the ship, where [[Jetstorm (Animated)|Jetstorm]] didn't somehow bombard him with a tornado. Ramjet also wasn't present when [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] didn't capture the Autobots and didn't try to freeze them in the decontamination unit. If he was, he certainly wasn't frozen when Jazz didn't booby-trap decontamination unit. He ultimately wasn't re-captured and sent to Cybertron, where he wasn't paraded around with the jubilant Sentinel. That's [[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]] you're thinking of! {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

* Ramjet's colors are completely original. They have nothing to do with [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Ramjet (G1)|Ramjet]] whatsoever, no sir. It's just a coincidence that he has burgundy wings and a white helmet. He certainly wasn't finally called "Ramjet" in ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac|The AllSpark Almanac]],'' which is a terrible book nobody enjoys. Also, the name "Liar Starscream" was definitely not on his character model sheet.

*Ramjet's colors are entirely consistent. At no point does his off-white ever look cream.

* Ramjet was not given his Generation 1 counterpart's [[Conehead |cone-shaped helmet]] in "[[Decepticon Air]]". He didn't get it from anybody, especially not [[Swindle (Animated)|Swindle]]. Absolutely not. And even if he had, it certainly wouldn't have been drill-tipped, because that wouldn't have been awesome at all.

*Ramjet's nosecone is extremely brittle. It hasn't been reinforced at all. There's no way it can survive any midair collisions.

* This entire article is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The fact that it's about Ramjet (who ''isn't'' a big fat liar) has nothing to do with anything. So there.

* We never said that this article spoke truth. You can't prove anything!

:''Starscream clones are a group from the [[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Lotta_starscreams.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Are there no signs of normalcy in these wretches? No [[Skywarp (Animated)|cowardice]] or [[Thundercracker (Animated)|pomposity]], no [[Slipstream (Animated)|snideness]] or [[Sunstorm (Animated)|smarm]], not even basic honest-to-goodness [[Dirge (Animated)|double-dealing]] [[Ramjet (Animated)|two-facedness]]?]]

A '''Starscream clone''' is one of an army of (mostly) physically identical copies of [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]. They have all of his abilities, with the added bonus of being extremely disposable. While there seem to be a large number of mass-produced clones, a handful have appeared which carry [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] energy signatures, have different colour schemes, and seem to embody various elements of Starscream's personality.
The clones include:

*[[Dirge (Animated)|Dirge]], representing Starscream's greed.
*[[Ramjet (Animated)|Ramjet]], a clone that is as honest as the day is long.
*[[Skywarp (Animated)|Skywarp]] and [[Clone number 3370318|Clone #3370318]], two clones representing Starscream's cowardice.
*[[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]], representing parts of Starscream best left unexplored.
*[[Starscream Clone Black Version]], representing... something.
*[[Sunstorm (Animated)|Sunstorm]] and [[Clone number 2716057|Clone #2716057]], two clones representing Starscream's bootlicking tendencies.
*[[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]], representing Starscream's ego.
*[[Thrust (Animated)|Thrust]], representing Starscream's jealousy.

Starscream created the clones in a multi-step process. First mechanical shells based on Starscream's design were infused with protoforms stolen from Master [[Yoketron]]'s dojo. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}} Since those protoforms were sparkless, a fragment Starscream's AllSpark fragment was inserted into their chassis to give them life. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I‎}}

[[Image:Dragging_purple.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Skywarp, you've got a longer yellow streak than a herd of diarrhetic camels.]]

After [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] and [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] captured and then lost the original Starscream on the Moon, his sycophantic clone destroyed Prowl's shuttle and headed for Earth. The two bots followed him, but bumped into the cowardly clone first. After capturing him, Lockdown double-crossed Prowl and dragged the clone away. As the Autobots gave chase, the Sycophant appeared and offered to deal. Prowl wasn't having any of it, and after a brief skirmish, managed to get the [[stasis cuffs]] on him. Both Lockdown and the Autobots took the clones to an abandoned warehouse, where the Decepticons were waiting. As everyone was understandably shocked, some sort of program deactivated the clones' higher functions and opened their spark chambers, which were empty... except for a pair of powerful bombs. As Lockdown and the Decepticons made a break for it, Prowl welded his borrowed mods to the pair and launched them into the sky, where they exploded. The Decepticons were caught in the blast wave, but the city was saved. In the wreckage of the ''[[Nemesis (Animated)|Nemesis]]'', a disappointed but pragmatic Starscream consoled himself with the fact he still had plenty left. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

While Megatron was officially bringing the Constructicons into his army on Earth, Starscream was doing the same with his fifth clone on the Moon. Immediately after he brought his final clone on-line, however, the neurotic ensemble began giving him trouble, and he learned that each of them embodied a distilled facet of his personality: his cowardice, his sycophancy, his deceitfulness, his egomania...and one facet that warned him not to ask what she was. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I‎}}

[[Image:ABTC-AttackOfTheClones.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Attack of the... er, nevermind.]]

After bringing the five clones to life, the Starscreams all flew to Earth after Megatron made the [[space bridge]]. Starscream attacked the Decepticons with his new army and lost two clones (along with Blurr) in a blob of cement, and soon after lost his head to Prof. Sumdac. Finally, the other Starscream clones decided he was unworthy to lead them and sided with Megatron, but after that they all had to attack [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]] and were easily defeated. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I‎I}}

The two clones who were warped into space with Blurr were able to escape their cement prison, but were left behind in space as Blurr darted away. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

It was also revealed that Ramjet had survived, as he saved Lugnut (and promised not to tell Megatron), {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}} and later paid Lockdown to help him against the Autobots. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}} Both he and Sunstorm would end up as prisoners, and briefly broke free before being recaptured. {{storylink|Decepticon Air}}

The final Earthbound clone, Slipstream, kept a low profile after the disastrous encounter with Omega Supreme, but she eventually resurfaced when Optimus Prime was attempting to learn to fly. She pursued him assuming he was Starscream, and was quite confused when she realized she was actually confronting a flying Autobot. But that didn't stop her from shooting Prime down, then escaping once more to parts unknown.{{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

The remaining cache of unactivated Starscream clone shells were unceremoniously destroyed by Megatron, upon the latter's return to his destroyed warship on the moon. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}}

The Fallen

{{disambig2|the scary powerful Judas-bot|the first episode of ''[[Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]]''|Fallen (episode)}}

[[Image:TheFallen_ROTF-AdaptationComic.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Not even the comic panel can contain him!]]

If the [[Thirteen original Transformers|first Transformers]] were [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s disciples, then '''The Fallen''' is its Judas. At the dawn of time, he was '''Megatronus Prime''', one of a brotherhood of vastly powerful beings dedicated to the well-being of their world. But The Fallen would gain his current moniker by turning against his brothers and his purpose to pursue his own ends. His frightening form is a metal cage for primal, burning forces of [[Unicron|chaos]], giving him the appearance of a living furnace. These cauldron-like forces purged him of what empathy and morality remained.

The Fallen is immensely powerful. He commands mystic, entropic arts, and when at full strength he can un-make creation at his focused will. He is rarely defeated; at best he is contained, where he waits with eternal patience for the chance to unleash his dark powers once again. Though he has at times been imprisoned between dimensions, this rarely lasts. When his power is at its height The Fallen can open [[space bridge]]s and travel between dimensions and realities at will.

If there is any reprieve, it is that there is only one of him. Like his brothers, The Fallen is a [[multiversal singularity]],<ref>[[Forest Lee]], [[BotCon 2009]]</ref> meaning that in all of the vast [[Continuity|multiverse]], he has no alternate-universe doppelganger. He may appear different in different realities but that is merely surface, it is always the same singular force of eldritch evil beneath. In several realities he is the originator of the [[Decepticon]]s, the catalyst that prompted [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to claim power for himself rather than the greater good. While the exact details of his past are complicated beyond the understanding of mortals,<ref>See [[Hasbro Q&A/July 2009: Answers|Hasbro Q&A/July 2009: Answer #3]] for more information.</ref> two things remain consistent: He is bad news, and he's on fire.

{{quote|You...you're from ''before'', aren't you?|[[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] on The Fallen|"[[Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation]]"}}

==Origins==

As explained in more detail in the appropriate sections below, The Fallen has been given different origin stories in several of the different continuities in which he has appeared. At first glance, these may seem to be in conflict, but they are simply another facet of his nature as a singularity. The Fallen and other beings of his type do not experience reality in the same manner as lesser, linear beings. With the complicated loops and twists of time and dimension, he is quite capable of possessing different origins in the different realities he enters and still remaining one singular entitiy. To paraphrase Walt Whitman: Does he contradict himself? Very well, then he contradicts himself. He is large. He contains multitudes.

[[Image:Thefallen.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Ah, you know it's funny, these people, they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good... They wake up the next day and they're on fire.]]

When Primus and Unicron first battled as planets, Primus created the first 13 Transformers to assist him in planet mode. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} The Fallen's original purpose as one of the 13 was to oversee entropy, the orderly dissolution of all things in preparation for the next creation. But the concept of destruction fascinated him too much, and he lost sight of the goal of rebirth and the necessity of restraint. His investigations into the dark sciences led him to Unicron, to whom he gave himself.<ref>[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/titanium/the-fallen/1126/2/9/ Fallen's ''Titanium Series'' on-package bio]</ref> Corrupted by Unicron, the Fallen then tried to sabotage his creator's body. This attempt ended in failure, and "The Fallen" fled to his master, but there was little refuge to be found: They were both sucked into a [[black hole]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}}

Approximately 7 million years before the 21st century, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] were lost in a [[space bridge]] accident. This accident weakened the barrier between reality and the dimension in which The Fallen was trapped, allowing The Fallen to eventually break free and return to Cybertron.

[[Image:Thefallenseeksfour.jpg|thumb|300px|Hey, The Fallen, ever heard of Tums?]]

The Fallen immediately set about initiating the "[[Unbinding]]", an event which required four particular Transformers, who would function as "angles in the geometry of dissolution". To help him round up the required Transformers, the Fallen recruited a [[Chaos Trinity|trio of Decepticon outcasts]], [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]], and [[Bugly]], who hungered for a command of [[Dark science|the occult]]. The Fallen promised them all manner of dark powers in exchange for serving him. Leading his three followers to a hidden room within Cybertron, he named [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] as the first of the angles to be gathered. {{storylink|Fragmentation}}

The Fallen and company proceeded to construct a strange machine within the [[Well of All Sparks]] in preparation for the Unbinding. Unfortunately, Bludgeon and friends got impatient for more than The Fallen's praise and demanded a more tangible reward: the arcane power he had promised them. The Fallen responded by grabbing Bludgeon’s head and giving him a mere glimpse of what he sought: images of a fiery vortex, demonic faces, stabbing swords and a human skull engulfed Bludgeon. The Fallen stated that this was but a peek inside a dark door he would fully open if they served him well. This left Bludgeon suitably inspired to begin hunting down their targets.

[[Image:Thefallengrimlock.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Someone should tell Grimlock this more often.]]

Bugly and Mindwipe leaked information to draw the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] out into combat with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], while Bludgeon hatched a plot to snare both Grimlock and [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]]. {{storylink|Escalation (IDW)|Escalation}} Bludgeon, Bugly, and Mindwipe ambushed Jetfire as he attempted a cross-faction meeting with [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. When Grimlock crashed the party earlier than they expected, however, The Fallen himself had to intervene and caught Grimlock’s blazing energo-sword in his bare hand. {{storylink|Revelation (The Dark Ages)|Revelation}}

Grimlock took one punch from The Fallen yet still got back up, so The Fallen grabbed him by the shoulders and unleashed a huge blast of energy that put the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]] leader out cold. Shocked by the display, Jetfire surmised that The Fallen predated the Golden Age, which impressed The Fallen, but he still knocked Jetfire out cold. He dragged Grimlock and Jetfire away and commanded his followers to gather the third angle while he handled the fourth. The Fallen singlehandedly abducted [[Blitzwing (G1)|Blitzwing]] from his well-guarded holding cell in Autobot headquarters, shrugging off attacks by some of the Autobots' best warriors and causing their weapons to corrode away into uselessness with a mere gesture. Bludgeon's team, meanwhile, succeeded in acquiring [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] from the Protectobots.

[[Image:Fallenmoreonfire.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The Fallen somehow sets himself ''more on fire''.]]

All four angles were strapped to the device in the Well of All Sparks. Launching into full B-movie villain mode, The Fallen theatrically monologued to the awakening Jetfire that they were casualties in the war of the Gods, and would be used to break the Seal of Primus, after which "all chaos will follow". {{storylink|Confrontation (issue)|Confrontation}}

The Fallen continued his villainous monologue, apparently directing it not at Jetfire but at Primus himself, as the four Transformers' unique sparks were drained to unlock the Seal of Primus. A combined army of forces from several factions defeated the Chaos Trinity and penetrated The Fallen's operation. By the time they reached the door, The Fallen was satisfied that the Transformers were too late, until Jetfire arranged a force-field to surround the Seal. The Fallen was further impressed that Jetfire understood enough to try to contain the Seal, but his distraction cost him victory: the God of Light himself was subsequently roused from his slumber where he saw The Fallen. With a gesture of his radiant hand, Primus engulfed his wayward creation in a torrent of searing energy that was then sucked back into the Seal of Primus. {{storylink|Conflagration}}

[[Image:Defianceissue4-creation.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Look [[Prima|familiar]]?]]

According to what The Fallen told [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] as part of the latter's recruitment, The Fallen and his brothers were the first creations of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|AllSpark]]. The planet that would become [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] was mostly barren, but as the All Spark gradually shaped Cybertron around them and gave The Fallen and his brothers power beyond measure, the AllSpark became depleted. They learned that the its power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions using triangular "[[sarcophagus|sarcophagi]]."{{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

The Fallen believed the AllSpark spoke only to him, telling him of a grander destiny than that of his brothers. He was its "chosen one." {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4}} The AllSpark granted The Fallen a race of [[Transformer|workers]] that had a power of their own: They could change their forms! Some, called "[[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]s," could even change into interstellar crafts that could locate stars for them. The [[Dynasty of Primes]], as the entities and their descendants were known, would then come and build a harvester which would destroy the star and send its power to the All Spark. The Dynasty tempered their search with the rule of sparing stars with inhabited worlds, but The Fallen believed that the Dynasty's compassion would ultimately doom the Cybertronians to inevitable extinction. As he sought a way to fix this problem, The Fallen came to think evil thoughts: what if there were no other Primes to share the All Spark with? What if its power was his alone? {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

[[Image:JetfireROTF-TalesoftheFallen.jpg|right|thumb|300px|I'm trustworthy!]]

The Fallen began to court some Transformers to his side. He selected a small number of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]] drones to do his bidding in private, ultimately in service of subverting the Dynasty of Primes in favor of his own agenda. He called this group the Decepticons. [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], The Fallen's most trusted and capable Seeker, began to unwittingly harvest the stars of inhabited star systems; the two would scan a system together, but The Fallen would report that his search areas were devoid of life. This practice got The Fallen and Jetfire into trouble with the other Primes, and so The Fallen began to sow seeds of mistrust in Jetfire. He claimed the Primes' refusal to sacrifice life to save their own planet would be its downfall, and that an army must be readied in case the Primes betrayed them all. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3}}

[[Image:TalesoftheFallen4-theyshallpay.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Yummy yummy I've got hate in my tummy!]]

The Fallen attempted to build a solar harvester on his own, powered by a counterfeit [[Matrix of Leadership]] he had constructed. However, it was unstable, and the resulting explosion infused The Fallen with power he had never known. He now burned with dark, unimaginable powers from within. The Fallen, feeling a darker sense of purpose that complemented his darker powers, traveled from world to world to world, killing scores of organisms and assimilating their technology, and leaving the dry husks of planets in his wake. He evolved, and during his ascension he planned for the eventual battle with his brothers. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4}}

As Jetfire joined the Decepticons, The Fallen took them to a planet named Earth, and they built a [[solar harvester]] to claim the [[Sun]]. However, it, too, harbored life: the Fallen was building the harvester there to either bait his brothers into taking action (while he was prepared to kill them all) or to remain in limbo. Either way, he won! Jetfire finally turned against his master, just as the remaining Primes arrived, falling into the traitor's trap. The Fallen warped Jetfire and his other underlings away and faced his brothers alone. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3}}

[[Image:TalesoftheFallen4-notlikethis.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Ever since he was a child, he was hated by triangles.]]

The battle between The Fallen and the other Primes was costly. They did not expect The Fallen to have so much power, and one by one they fell by his wretched hand. He had "expanded [his] consciousness—absorbed the mental mass of a hive intelligence seventy trillion strong, probed the neural functions of creatures that swim in unrefined thought..." Since last they met, he was "so much more" than they were. The Fallen was able to grab weapons from his stockpile through personal dimensional portals, and one by one he murdered his brothers until there was only one Prime left to oppose him. With one last desperate gamble, the final Prime fled, and he and The Fallen warped from location to location; The Fallen thought this Prime was merely stalling, but he was gravely mistaken. The final Prime had gathered up the bodies of his defeated brothers, and when at last he had collected them all and The Fallen was weak from overteleportation, he used their combined lifeforce to banish The Fallen forever. The Fallen was trapped through a sarcophagi to another dimension, where he crashed into a desolate landscape, swearing revenge. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4}} Back on Earth, the harvester was covered by the [[Human|natives]] with a pyramid. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

Knowledge of this was lost through the ages, and the Dynasty of Primes became little more than a myth. Eons later, a mysterious pylon was found buried on Cybertron by modern-day Transformers and delivered to Megatron's private quarters. Unbeknownst to them all, this was the sarcophagus of The Fallen, and upon activation, it healed the grievously-wounded Cybertronian military leader and established contact between him and its prisoner. Filled with a new resolve to destroy those who sought out the All Spark, Megatron's optics were tinted red by the encounter. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2}} In the aftermath of Megatron's ruthless battle against a band of aliens seeking the All Spark, The Fallen further counseled him to seize control of Cybertron to make way for The Fallen's return. He also told him that [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] sought the All Spark for himself, and Megatron immediately decided that Optimus and his followers deserved to be killed for this transgression. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

[[Image:Defiance4_Megatron_TheFallen.jpg|thumb|300px|left|All right, who changed the thermostat!?]]

But simply taking the planet would not be enough. The Fallen also ordered Megatron to build a [[Nemesis (Movie)|space cruiser]] to seek out the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], which he said was a prerequisite to his return. As the ship's construction came to an end, The Fallen told Megatron the story of his origin (recounted above) and his plans regarding the harvester on Earth. The Fallen ordered Megatron to put his sarcophagus on the ship and then stay behind to fight Optimus's forces and safeguard the All Spark. [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and a majority of the Decepticon soldiers crewed the ship, which ended up crashing on some barren world under unknown circumstances.

Meanwhile on Cybertron, civil war raged between Optimus's Autobots and Megatron's Decepticons, a war which eventually led to the All Spark being launched into space. As Megatron alone pursued the hurtling cube, he picked up a distress signal from the ''Nemesis.'' He found the crashed ship and within it the still-intact sarcophagus. He once again spoke with The Fallen, who was furious that Megatron had taken this detour from his pursuit of the All Spark. He ordered him to resume the chase immediately, confident that it would guide itself to the harvester. Megatron obeyed, leaving the sarcophagus in the barren wreckage. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}}

====''Transformers: The Movie Universe''====
The original Transformers, all of them Primes, were united by a directive that safeguarded all life, and as such they refused to utilize the harvester on the inhabited Earth. One of their number, however, decided "I want Energon!" and slaughtered his brothers so he could harvest the Sun. He threw away his original name and became the Fallen. In the end, he slaughtered all of his brethren, but they were still able to imprison him in a pocket dimension and save the Earth. In the process, his appearance had changed to a terrifying, cage-like exostructure burning with chaotic energies from the universe's creation, forces that had purged him of all morality. Since his body was never meant to contain the unholy power flowing through it, he had to steadily vent that energy to ensure his own continued existence. This created the visual effect of a constant fiery nimbus.

While effectively harmless to the universe outside his prison, his powers remained vast: He could generate space bridges spontaneously, as well as focus his energies into discrete blasts that could unmake creation itself. Were he ever able to escape, he would be a supremely powerful danger. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen: The Movie Universe|The Movie Universe}}

Legend has it that the first seven Transformers were created by [[Primus]], but the Fallen believes them to be creations of the All Spark. Their task was to harvest Energon for the All Spark without endangering alien life, but the Fallen cared nothing for the [[Human|puny meatsacks]] of Earth and tried to harvest the Sun! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|The Fallen Profile}} His duped servant Jetfire watched in horror as the Fallen imprisoned the other six Primes! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.8|Jetfire Profile}} However, the Primes still managed to sacrifice themselves to hide the Creation Matrix, key to the All Spark, while the Fallen was imprisoned in a pocket dimension on one of Saturn's moons... until Megatron released him! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.3|The Fallen Profile}}

But then that fool Starscream allowed [[Skids (ROTF)|two]] [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Autobots]] to escape to Earth with vital intelligence!

He angrily warned Starscream not to fail again, grrrr! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.2|Dogfight!}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Tony Todd]] (English), [[Banjō Ginga]] (Japanese), [[Bert Franzke]] (German)

[[Image:TheFallen-ROTFwithPrimes.jpg|thumb|left|350px|''Ocupado!'']]
Nineteen thousand years ago, The Fallen accompanied [[Dynasty of Primes|his brother Primes]] to [[Earth]] in an attempt to harvest the [[Sun|star]] it orbited. Just as they had completed construction of the [[solar harvester]], however, The Fallen discovered [[Human|a primitive race of hunters]]. The Primes invoked their rule of the sanctity of life and refused to activate the harvester, but The Fallen despised the humans as simple insects and attempted to activate the Harvester. A great battle took place, but ultimately, The Fallen was defeated and the remaining Primes hid themselves and the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and The Fallen's harvester was concealed within a pyramid in [[Egypt]]. The Fallen dispatched the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] to locate the Matrix, but they proved unable and he eventually abandoned them. The Fallen became known as the first [[Decepticon]], and he became the master of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], leader of the faction. He employed Megatron in the pursuit of the [[AllSpark (Movie)|All Spark]], but after Megatron's defeat at [[Mission City]], the All Spark was reduced to a mere fragment.

[[Image:TheFallen-ROTFNemesis.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Honey, I'm home!]]

Upon Megatron's revival he traveled to the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]'', where The Fallen stayed in a life-support chair while [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] oversaw the creation of a new army of Decepticons. Prostrating himself before the Fallen, Megatron said that he had failed his master and their race by allowing the All Spark to be destroyed. Amused by his disciple's misinformation, The Fallen revealed that the cube was merely a vessel, while the knowledge within the All Spark was instead placed within the mind of the human who had challenged Megatron, [[Sam Witwicky]]. With the knowledge within Sam's mind, they could find the solar harvester and the Matrix needed to activate it. Megatron asked permission to avenge himself and reclaim the All Spark, but The Fallen asked for patience, though he could understand his desire, as The Fallen himself hungered to return to the wretched planet where his brother Primes had betrayed him. The Fallen also explained that the only threat to him was the last surviving Prime, [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]. Since Optimus would protect Sam, The Fallen ordered Megatron to capture the boy and draw out the Prime.

Megatron's plan was partially successful: although the boy escaped, Optimus came to defend him and died in the process. The Fallen sensed his death and was very pleased, knowing that the time to strike was now. When the Decepticons traveled to the Earth's surface in [[transition form|re-entry mode]]s, The Fallen accompanied them, destroying an [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71)|aircraft carrier]] as well as attacking several cities. As the aircraft carrier sank into the ocean, The Fallen quietly intoned that revenge was finally his. The Fallen tapped into Earth's communication network, and announced the presence of the Transformers on Earth on worldwide television, demanding the "human hive" hand over Sam.

[[Image:ROTF Fallen headchop.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Can't. Take. Our. Sun. Unless you got buns, hon! And, oh man, he don't.]]
Unfortunately, Sam was in Egypt hunting for the [[Matrix of Leadership]] after being told it might be able to revive Optimus. He succeeded, but moments after Prime's resurrection, The Fallen appeared amongst the assorted NEST troops, pinning Optimus and stealing the Matrix. He then teleported to the now uncovered harvester, and as he inserted the Matrix into the machine, declared that his brothers had failed as he now claimed the Sun. While it charged, the humans attempted to destroy the harvester with their heavy weapons. Unimpressed with their display, The Fallen demonstrated his considerable power by destroying the attacking military forces with telekinesis, then raised a blockade of debris to prevent an air strike, but a super-powered Optimus Prime, now fused with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], destroyed the harvester, knocking The Fallen to the ground below.

[[Image:TheFallen-ROTFfacegotten.jpg|300px|thumb|right|"Bali mangti kali ma, mukti degi kali ma, kali ma, kali ma, KALI MA!"]]

Facing the last Prime, The Fallen commanded Optimus to join his brothers in death, but it quickly became apparent that Optimus was strong enough to face The Fallen. Megatron came to the aid of his master, but was quickly dispatched. Although The Fallen managed to rip off one of Prime's thrusters and strike him with it, Optimus soon impaled The Fallen with his own spear, then demanded his face, tearing it off. As The Fallen tried to flee, Optimus Prime punched through his abdomen, crushing his spark core and killing The Fallen, as a wounded Megatron watched in horror. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|The [[Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation|comic adaptation]], based on early drafts of the script, provide more backstory for The Fallen, such as his hunt for the descendants of his brother Primes, and his promise to Megatron that he would make him a Prime—something Optimus exposes as a lie during their final battle, as one can only be born a Prime, leading Megatron to abandon his teacher. Additionally, the film dropped the idea of The Fallen being trapped in a sarcophagus, making it appear he had rested on the ''Nemesis'' since Megatron became leader of the Decepticons. While in the novelization it could be interpreted as him being somewhere else and just communicating via an interdimensional window, in the IDW continuity it appears simply the act of finding the harvester frees him from his prison when he finally appears in Egypt.}}
{{--}}

===Prime continuity===

The Fallen was originally known as Megatronus Prime. He was the one member of the Thirteen who refused to bow down to the others and would carve his own destiny, according to [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]], who took his name to inspire fear. One of The Fallen's crimes which escalated him into villainous infamy is described as "that fateful murder." His downfall may have something to do with an ancient battle with [[Unicron]]. ''{{storylink|Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron}}''

{{note|According to slides shown at [[BotCon 2010]], Megatronus is a large, dark robot with a Decepticon symbol-inspired head. As The Fallen, his body is shrouded in flames.}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====

With Optimus Prime seemingly defeated, The Fallen and the Decepticons journeyed to Egypt, where he uncovered the solar harvester from inside the Great Pyramid of Giza and commenced his plans to destroy the Sun. However, the last of the Primes had survived his battle with Megatron and now revealed to the enraged Decepticon leader that The Fallen had betrayed him. The Fallen's promise to Megatron that he would make his student a Prime would never be fulfilled, as Primes were born, not made. Megatron demanded what he had been promised, but the Fallen, disgusted with the creature that he no longer needed, attacked. Righteous indignation fueled Megatron through this battle, and ultimately, he ended The Fallen's mastery over the Decepticons by impaling him through his head and letting the corpse fall into the depths of the solar harvester. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

=====Autobot campaign=====

Optimus Prime had survived his battle with Megatron and merged with the parts of Jetfire, and now this new, powered-up form faced the might of The Fallen at the Great Pyramid. Optimus's ancestor mocked this young upstart who dared to face his elder, telekinetically throwing debris at the Autobot, summoning great bursts of energy from the ground, and unleashing an army of Decepticon drones. However, Optimus Prime's new armour more than enabled him to survive this onslaught, and as he rained energy slugs into The Fallen, the ancient Cybertronian called out to Megatron for help, but to no avail, for his student had since learned of The Fallen's treachery. Optimus ended The Fallen's reign of terror by impaling him through his head and letting the corpse fall into the depths of the solar harvester. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

*'''Fallen''' (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Display stand
: Instead of being based on his comic appearance, the Fallen toy is loosely based on [[Don Figueroa]]'s design for pre-[[Earth]] [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] as seen in ''[[Infiltration]]'' and ''[[Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer]]'', though obviously with The Fallen's head and deco. He transforms into a Cybertronic tank. Sadly his tank form doesn't hold together well, nor does he have actual hands, just blocks with holes in them. His side-mounted cannons can peg into his forearms in robot mode, or be held in his fists. He wears a faction symbol of his own effigy. So far, The Fallen is, by a fraction of an inch, the tallest (and the bulkiest) of the 6" Titanium Series figures.

*'''The Fallen''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-10'''

:Part of wave two of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Voyager Class figures, The Fallen transforms from a robot into a "Cybertronian Destroyer" mode. The robot mode features several "slide-out energy absorption panels" on his head and arms which can either be deployed or hidden. In addition to that [[Mech Alive]] feature, his feet are spring-actioned so that when the toy is not standing on a surface (in other words, in jet mode), the toes ball up together. Setting the robot back down on a flat surface will splay the toes open again.

:There are rubbery connectors that attach his arms to his torso that increase accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action film, but this restricts his arm movement severely.

:There are at least two features to the toy not addressed on his instructions: first, the panels over the robot's forearms, which can be moved forward to cover the hands in vehicle mode; secondly, curved spikes which are normally in line with the upper legs can be rotated to point forward.

==Notes==
[[Image:Fallenpatlee.jpg|right|thumb|150px|I'm The Fallen, and I can't get up!]]
*The Fallen design was created by [[Pat Lee]], his first (and only) original Transformers character. ([[Simon Furman]] created the concept, see next item.) The early design concept not only lacked The Fallen's characteristic mouthplate, but differed incredibly from the final product. Envisioned as a medieval, ancient-looking Transformer, he glowed like a furnace, though he was not depicted as being perpetually on fire until [[Andrew Wildman]] penciled his appearances in ''[[The Dark Ages]]'' and the colorists caught on.
*The Fallen was also used to recycle some of Simon Furman's unused [[Last Autobot]] plans.[http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~sstoneb/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt]
*When questioned about him constantly being aflame, ''War Within'' writer Simon Furman stated that The Fallen is always on fire "because it looks cool."
[[Image:Thefallentank.jpg|right|thumb|150px|The Judasmobile.]]
*The Fallen's Dreamwave comics [[alternate mode]], a tank, though designed, was never used in-fiction. Similarly, The Fallen is said to have ''no'' alternate mode in IDW comics, and he does not actually transform in the film.
*Very little of The Fallen's backstory was given in his first fictional appearances, leaving much of ''The Dark Ages'' somewhat confusing on its own. Helpful inserts from the ''[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' profile books and DK's ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', published around the same time, spelled out more. Eventually, the packaging profile printed on his Titanium figure gave the rest. Oh, and then years later, he was the titular villain of a summer blockbuster film.
* The proper treatment of his name, with its capital-T "The", is established both in the comics and the ''Ultimate Guide''. The one dissenting source is his on-package [[bio]], which simply calls him "'''Fallen'''" (as in, "'''Fallen''' forgot his real name long ago"). The reason for this awkward treatment is unknown, though the usual culprits behind toy-name oddities (guess) [[trademark]] issues.
* The Fallen can speak Spanish. <ref>Fanclub-exclusive Mini Mayhem strip, March 19, 2007</ref>
*During San Diego Comic-Con 2008, in an interview on July 25th, [[Simon Furman]] claimed that ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' would feature a character called the Fallen, which was a character they created for Dreamwave's ''The War Within: The Dark Ages''.<ref>[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=17412 Simon Furman confirms The Fallen is a character in an interview with Comic Book Resources (Fallen details removed)]</ref> Three days later, [[IDW Publishing]] writer [[Chris Mowry]] corroborated the claim in an interview with MTV Splash Page, calling "The Fallen" the main villain of the film.<ref>[http://splashpage.mtv.com/2008/07/28/exclusive-transformers-2-prequel-comic-gives-inside-scoop-on-2009-movie/ MTV Splash Page interviews Chris Mowry (Fallen details removed)]</ref> Less than a week after this, however, [[Michael Bay]] reiterated that everything leaked to that point was part of their misinformation campaign and that only a handful of people involved with the production of ''Revenge'' had seen the script, contradicting IDW's interviews where their representatives confirmed that they had the script.<ref>[http://www.shootfortheedit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=44729&postcount=2 A post made by Michael Bay on his forum]</ref> Curiously, on August 5th 2008, after a fan posted on Michael Bay's forum pointing out the contradiction, all references to The Fallen were removed from the aforementioned interviews, as well as any references to IDW Publishing having the script.
*Voice actor [[James Arnold Taylor]] was originally cast as The Fallen in the film version of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' (which led to him getting the same role in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen: The Game]]''), but was replaced by [[Tony Todd]] in the final edit of the film, [http://jamesarnoldtaylor.com/blog/2009/06/transformers-voices_24.html to his disappointment.]
*Along with James Arnold Taylor, [[Leonard Nimoy]] (the voice of [[Galvatron (G1)| G1 Galvatron]]) was considered to be the voice of the Fallen himself. However, [[Michael Bay| the director]] was worried that he would have paid him too less money. So, Nimoy, who wanted to be in Transformers since his role as Galvatron, was nixed. Such missed potential...
*In Titan ''Transformers Comic'' [[Transformers Comic issue 15|Aftermath Part 2]], the newly-ascendant [[President of the United States]] is named [[Theodore Allen|'''The'''odore '''F. Allen''']]. There wasn't any significance to the name, however.
*[[Paul Ozzimo]] and [[Josh Nizzi]] designed Earth modes for The Fallen to take on in ''Revenge of the Fallen'', but like many of the Decepticons he does not assume one in the finished film. Ozzimo clarified on his website he was to turn into a [[Wikipedia:Aurora (aircraft)|Aurora]] stealth bomber, the alleged modern replacement for the [[Jetfire (ROTF)|SR-71 Blackbird]].
*Various on-package [[Hasbro]] [[bio]]s for the Fallen in the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline utilize the derogatory term "flesh slugs" for humanity; the term originally appeared in the same manner in the 1980s ''[[Inhumanoids]]'' cartoon, based on another toyline by Hasbro.

Ok, we all know that Soundwave can transform into a Spy Rig-class Cybertronian truck, right? Well, right before his boss fight against Optimus and his team, he is briefly seen in the form of a Cybertronian device similar to a tapedeck, much like his original G1 counterpart's Earth mode. Does this mean he's a Triple Changer or is that just an interface mode like when you use the mounted turrets? --[[User:Cydra|Cydra]] 21:19, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

Legends Class (2005)

Spongezilla: /* Transformers (2010) */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two redecoes of the ''Universe'' line's Legends Class figures.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-07-22T16:18:01Z

Spongezilla: /* Japanese exclusives */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two redecoes of the ''Universe'' line's Legends Class figures.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-07-22T16:10:53Z

Spongezilla: /* Regular Japanese releases (EZ Collection) */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two redecoes of the ''Universe'' line's Legends Class figures.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-03-17T12:47:52Z

Spongezilla: /* Japanese exclusives */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-28T16:41:25Z

Spongezilla: /* Wave 2 */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-28T16:41:12Z

Spongezilla: /* Transformers (2010) */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-28T16:38:57Z

Spongezilla: /* Wave 1 */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

{{note|These three toys sported more (and more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]]) paint details than the Hasbro versions (Galaxy Convoy was missing most of the Hasbro version's yellow paint).

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-28T16:36:56Z

Spongezilla:

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-04T01:20:22Z

Spongezilla: /* Regular Japanese releases (EZ Collection) */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-04T01:19:20Z

Spongezilla: /* Animated */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-04T01:18:00Z

Spongezilla: /* Regular Japanese releases (EZ Collection) */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-02-04T01:14:47Z

Spongezilla: /* Revenge of the Fallen */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Huge fan of Transformers ,Godzilla, MST3K, and Science Fiction. My recent resolutions for collecting are;
-Collect every [[Legends Class | Legends]] figure, minus Gold Convoy, since he's so rare.

-Collect every Deluxe from Cybertron to ROTF, mainly just American retail and store-exclusives. (Botcon ones are too expensive)

-Collect every Basic/Scout from Energon to ROTF, minus Botcon exclusives and some Japanese versions.

-[[Starscream (G1)/toys | Get]] [[Starscream (Armada) | As]] [[Starscream (SG) | Much]] [[Starscream (BWII) | Starscream]] [[Starscream (Movie) | Stuff]] [[ Starscream (Animated) | As Possible.]]

-Collect as many Dinosaur Transformers I can get ahold of.

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site.

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-01-10T19:09:32Z

Spongezilla: /* US multi-packs */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Legends Class (2005)

2010-01-10T19:05:06Z

Spongezilla: /* Japanese exclusives */

{{disambig3|Legends}}
The '''Legends Class''' (originally known as '''Legends of Cybertron'''; see [[#Trivia|Trivia]] below), known as ''EZ Collection'' in Japan, is a sub-line of ''Transformers'' toys that are about 3 inches in height. All the original molds are based on toys/characters that are also available in other sizes, with less sculpted detail and often with different, simplified transformations. Unlike other [[Size class|size classes]], which are viewed as part of the respective toyline they've been released under and nothing else, the ''Legends'' toys have been continuously numbered as "series" across three subsequent toylines.

The ''Legends'' size class originally started out as a sub-set during the [[Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron'' toyline]]'s run, featuring small, simple, easily affordable versions of some of the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|show's]] core cast. Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

Released in waves of four, the toys were originally available in smaller "[[market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were later also available at Toys "R" Us and Kmart. The molds were later [[Redeco|redecoed]] as ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' characters for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line.

The [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie toyline]] introduced a batch of entirely new molds, later expanded by various redecos of those molds, most of which were available as part of the ''Allspark Battles'' two-packs (which also introduced more new molds).

The [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'' line]] featured more redecos of the old ''Cybertron''-derived molds as ''Generation 1'' characters, coupled with new molds, which are thus far alternatively "Classic" toys based on ''Generation 1'' and ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' characters and Legends-sized versions of ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' characters, which are released as part of the ''Universe'' rather than the [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Animated'' toyline]] (although minor redecos were also released as part of store [[exclusive]] multi-packs in ''Animated'' packaging).

The [[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' line]] basically followed up from the 2007 ''Movie'' line with new molds for ''Revenge of the Fallen'' characters and some returning ''Movie'' characters, plus redecos of various 2007 ''Movie'' Legends Class toys. Some store exclusive multi-packs also contain redecos of ''Universe'' Legends Class molds.

==''Animated''==
[[Image:AnimatedLegends.jpg|left|190px|thumb|]][[Hasbro Toy Shop]] had previously listed a category for an ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' Legends series, but no figures were announced, and it has since been removed from the site. Instead, Legends-sized toys based on ''Animated'' characters were released as part of the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' line]].

However, there were two [[Target]] [[exclusive]] three-packs released as part of the ''Animated'' line, each containing a redeco of a mass retail ''Animated'' Deluxe Class toy and two of the Legends Class figures that were also released as single packs in the ''Universe'' line.

==Trivia==
* During the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toyline's run, there was some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point: It was variously solicited to online retailers as ''Cybertron All-Stars'' and ''Legends of Cybertron''. Online retailers even confirmed having received initial shipments alternatively sporting either name on the shipping cases, although later shipments exclusively sported the "Legends" name. The toys themselves, however, didn't sport ''any'' size-class-specific name on the packaging. Meanwhile, [[Hasbro]] originally listed the toys under the name ''Cybertron Micro Series'' on their [http://www.transformers.com/ official Transformers website], but later changed those listings to "Legends" as well. Later toylines that included toys of the same size class (including [[Redeco|redecos]] of the ''Cybertron''-derived molds) specifically used names such as ''Legends Class'' on the packaging, so that title seems to have won out. However, the "Cybertron" part of the name has never been used in an official capacity anywhere outside the ''Cybertron'' toyline.

Black Friday (event)

Spongezilla:

{{disambig2|the day after Thanksgiving|the episode of ''Transformers Animated''|Black Friday (episode)}}
[[Image:Blackfriday.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Actual security footage of a Toys"R"Us on Black Friday.]]
'''Black Friday''' is a colloquial term for the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is one of the largest sales days of the year. Often, stores open ''very'' early (6am is common), slash prices and offer special time-sensitive sales (such as ending pricing at noon).

In the case of toys, they may also offer special multi-pack deals or release [[Exclusive|exclusives]] on that day as an incentive. Hasbro is particularly mercenary in this regard, as they sometimes offer same-line exclusives to different stores. Sometimes these are merely bonus packs, while occasionally, a toy may be specially [[Redeco|redecoed]].

Shopping on Black Friday is a contact sport; bruises and contusions are commonplace. A helmet and pads are highly recommended, although using tasers or mace is considered unsporting.

[[Image:Movie frenzy.png|right|300px|thumb|"They are all laser-guided and I get CRAZY if you touch them!"]]
'''Frenzy''' is small, sneaky, skittering and single-minded. His hyper-active twitching and lightning-speed jibbering in [[Cybertronian languages|his own tongue]] bely incredible espionage and sabotage skills, but it is in causing chaos and carnage that Frenzy truly excels. This creepy little abomination is the best there is at what he does, and approaches his tasks with a level of sinister glee that make it hard to deter him from a course of action once he has settled upon it.

Frenzy is exceptionally hard to kill, due to the fact that he possesses a de-centralized, modular nervous system. In essence it means that even if he suffers critical injuries—such as getting his head severed, which seems to be a not-infrequent problem for him—he can continue to function. In addition to this, he is equipped with a hyper-reactive [[Trans-scan|trans-scanning]] and reformatting system that allows him to totally reconfigure his alternate mode with ridiculous speed, meaning that he can be something one minute, and something completely different the next. Although this is something which he does regularly anyway, it also works regardless of what state of disrepair he may be in, making it quite the challenge to keep track of him.<ref>Frenzy's profile in [[Transformers Comic issue 7]], which was re-worked from his entry in [[Transformers: The Movie Guide]]. Unsurprisingly, it dropped that book's bizarre claim that Frenzy was "quiet" and "not very talkative".</ref>

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Many years ago, [[The Fallen|an ancient relic]] from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] past was uncovered near the temple of [[Simfur]]. Within this relic inhabited a malevolent being who convinced Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to turn the formerly defense-oriented Cybertronian military into an army of conquest and filled his mind with dreams of power. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 1}} The only thing that stood in the way of the being's plans was [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], the leader of Cybertron's science divisions, whose curiosity lead him to break into Megatron's personal quarters. For this, Megatron charged the scientist with treason, ordering [[Prowl (Movie)|Prowl]] to arrest him.

While Optimus and his team were being led away, Frenzy spied upon and relayed their coordinates to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], who intended to ambush the group and kill all bar Optimus, as ''Lord'' Megatron intended to deal with the ''traitor'' personally. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3}}

===''Ghosts of Yesterday'' prequel comic===
{{cleanup|February 2009|Needs more stuff than just this.}}
{{charstubfiction}}

Frenzy was the smallest member of the ''[[Nemesis (Movie)|Nemesis']]'' crew. He liked to sneak-attack Autobots from behind while they concentrated on his larger teammates. He didn't fare well in this particular battle but is presumably repaired at some future point. {{storylink|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Reno Wilson]] (English)

[[Image:Readingisfundamental.jpg|left|180px|thumb|This is the only newspaper in the country that is not afraid to tell the truth: that everything is just fine.]]

A skittering little spaz, Frenzy smuggled himself aboard [[Air Force One]] disguised as a CD player boom-box. He made his way to the lower decks, carried by an [[Staff Sergeant Tracy|unsuspecting flight attendant]] who was on a vital mission to the storage area to "wrangle up some Ding-Dongs" for the [[President of the United States|President]]. Once left alone, he got into the server area and began to work his magic, simultaneously hacking the national database and uploading a virus, re-attempting the hack that [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] had tried at the [[SOCCENT Base]] in [[Qatar]] earlier. This attempt was discovered by government agent [[Maggie Madsen]], and the defense network was shut down in order to halt the hack. Frenzy was so pissed he slammed his head into the screen, but he'd managed to finish uploading the virus, which would later shut down global communications, and got a little bit of info on what he was looking for.

[[Image:Frenzy armed.JPG|right|250px|thumb|Not someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley...or a well-lit one, for that matter.]]

He was discovered by Secret Service agents, whom he quickly dispatched with his machine guns and disc-blade launcher before hiding away in boom-box form again. When Air Force One landed, he escaped through the landing gear, slipping into the awaiting Decepticon [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]]. (Real good job keeping an eye out, Secret Service.) After [[:Image:Frenzy_movie_bird.JPG|flipping the military the bird]] and bitching about how the "stupid insects" shot at him, he informed Barricade of his new discovery: [[Archibald Witwicky|the Witwicky man]] who had suspiciously displayed knowledge of Cybertronian writing. After a quick web search using Barricade's on-board police department laptop, Frenzy determined their next target...a human called "[[Sam Witwicky|LadiesMan217]]" who was in possession of the Witwicky man's glasses, which in turn could lead them to the <s>Precious</s> [[All Spark]].

When Barricade was forced to go to robot mode in order to handle [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], he released Frenzy to chase the humans the [[Autobot]] was guarding. Frenzy tackled his primary target and even managed to get his pants off (Kinky!), but [[Mikaela Banes|the female human]] attacked him with a reciprocating saw she'd found and cut off his head. To add insult to injury, LadiesMan217 punted the Decepticon's head away. It was actually to Frenzy's benefit, however, as he landed not too far from the female's purse, which had spilled when Bumblebee had dumped them out earlier. Still alive and ambulatory despite losing most of his body mass, he speared and scanned the female's cell phone, changed his form to match it, and hid out in her purse.

[[Image:Frenzy head.JPG|left|200px|thumb|"What is it, Frenzy?"<br/> "STARSCREAM! SEND REINFORCEMENTS! I'M UNDER ATTACK BY AQUATIC LIFEFO—"<br/> *Starscream terminates the link*]]

Frenzy stayed hidden, watching the activities of the humans, including their meeting with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot|Autobots]]. Taken to LadiesMan217's house, Frenzy poked his head out to better observe, but was frightened by some [[wikipedia:Goldfish|aquatic lifeforms]] LadiesMan217 had. Frenzy poked one of his optics out when the glasses were discovered, but remained hidden during the subsequent encounter with [[Sector Seven]]. Arriving at [[Hoover Dam]], Frenzy slipped away...and fell off the side of the dam, landing painfully at the bottom. This allowed him to sneak into the secret Sector Seven operations hangar deep within the dam, where both the All Spark and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] had been kept for nearly a hundred years. Tapping into the All Spark's power, he restored his body, then sent a message to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], telling him that their prizes were here. As Starscream mobilized all the Decepticons on [[Earth]], Frenzy set about the task of releasing his master. He went and killed a few technicians, letting him screw with the cryo-stasis machines that kept Megatron entombed, while Starscream destroyed the power lines outside, allowing the Decepticon leader to escape.

[[Image:Frenzycomputer2.jpg|right|200px|thumb|im in ur Sector 7, thawin ur N.B.E.-01]]

As Megatron and Starscream went to assist the rest of the Decepticons in securing the All Spark, Frenzy remained at the dam to tie up any loose ends. When [[Reggie Simmons|Agent Simmons]], [[John Keller|Secretary Keller]], Maggie and [[Glen Whitmann]] ran to an ancient storage room to try and get a Morse Code message to the Air Force via shortwave radio, Frenzy followed. While Glen jury-rigged outdated machinery to send the messages, Simmons and Keller tried to shoot the diminutive Decepticon. Frenzy made it into the room via the air ducts and sent a series of flying blades at the humans. One, however, ricocheted madly across the room, and took out most of Frenzy's head. With a muttered "oh shit," Frenzy collapsed. {{Storylink|Transformers (2007)}}

{{note|How fatal this actually ''was'' to Frenzy is up for debate. Though presumably his remains would have been gathered up by remaining Sector Seven personnel and disposed of with the other defeated Decepticons, he is not seen again after the storeroom attack. Creepy little bastard could still be out there with the other unaccounted for Decepticons Barricade and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], skittering away like mad, waiting for his next chance to dispense whirling electric death once more.<br/>

[[Transformers: The Movie Guide|The Hardcover Movie Guide]] written by [[Simon Furman]] seems to confirm this somewhat—the little skittering bugger has a secondary neural processor on his body and with a non centralized logic net, parts of him can function independently, even if they're separated from the main torso strut.}}

===Titan Magazines ''Transformers'' movie comics===
{{note|The following events occur in an alternate timeline/continuity where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.}}

[[Image:TitanFrenzy.jpg|left|200px|thumb|His sales pitch ''sucks''.]]

Frenzy's head injuries failed to kill him in at least one timeline - where Megatron won at [[Mission City]] - and he remains on guard at the former [[Sector 7]] base. He also has learnt English, seemingly only so he can threaten you with a messy death.

When [[Mikaela Banes]] & [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] tried to free Optimus from the former [[Sector Seven]] base, Frenzy began stalking the human. {{storylink|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 2}} His attempt to shoot her in the back failed, and she declared she'd take him out for good this time. {{storylink|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} She wasn't able to land a blow on him but she had the mental advantage, tricking him into shattering a liquid nitrogen tank and freezing himself to death. Whoops! {{storylink|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}}
{{-}}

===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
After Megatron was killed and the All Spark destroyed, Starscream returned to the freeway to seek out Barricade, the perhaps only other surviving Decepticon on Earth. When informed that Frenzy had stolen all of Sector Seven's files on their race and most importantly, the All Spark, Starscream realised that he must secure Frenzy's remains if he were to save all Cybertron. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One}}

During Starscream's second attack on Hoover Dam, Sector Seven scientists were moving Frenzy's remains from the alien archives room in which he had been deactivated. Suddenly, Starscream smashed him way in, demanding the humans turn over his compatriot to him, which they complied. Later, after Starscream returned to [[Mars]], he ordered [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] hook Frenzy up to their ship's computer. The retrieved data revealed the source of a lot of Sector Seven's knowledge regarding transformers as coming from the resurrected [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two}} With the knowledge contained within Frenzy, Starscream was able to build a new All Spark, though it didn't pan out exactly as he had planned.

A month later, when Starscream returned to get his revenge, Wreckage tore at the Decepticon, and Frenzy's body fell out. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2}} [[Reggie Simmons]] secretly took the head for himself. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===

==Games==
===''Transformers'' The Game===
On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Frenzy was seen digging through the mangled and twitching chassis of a dead Autobot. It's unlikely he was digging through it to find the All Spark. Megatron nearly crushed him under his foot. It is entirely possible that he was annoyed with Frenzy.

Frenzy arrived in Tranquility to meet up with [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] possessing information that Starscream said was vital. When Barricade attempted to link up with him, he discovered that Frenzy had been captured by [[Sector Seven|some armed humans]]. Frenzy was held captive in a small SUV (which seemed virtually indestructible) but Barricade eventually rescued him. Barricade later relayed to Starscream that Frenzy had discovered a lead on the All Spark and Megatron...an artifact in the possession of a human named Sam.

Later, he served as Starscream's intelligence liaison when the Decepticon's Acting-Commander was searching for [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] and [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]], jabbering away in his own language. (A translation is NOT subtitled directly, with Frenzy being the only character to NOT speak English in the game. He just wants to be different...or annoying.) {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

===''Transformers: Autobots/Decepticons''===
Frenzy was seen digging through the remains of another Transformer. Megatron nearly stepped on him, but he scurried away. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons}}

===''Transformers'' (Playstation Portable)===
In Frenzy's first mission on Earth, he and [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]] searched for the [[glasses]]. They attacked the Autobots, but got a massive whupping by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]]. Then,he assaulted [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Mikaela Banes]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Later he participated in [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s attack on the [[Hoover Dam]]. . Finally, he and [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] took on [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] but were defeated. Whether Jazz killed him as he did Brawl remains unknown. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

== Toys ==
===Transformers (2007)===
====Deluxe Class Barricade companions====
[[Image:Movie DeluxeBarricade toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Yeah, I'm really this size. Seriously.]]
*'''Barricade''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MD-02'''

: Included with the larger Deluxe Barricade is a very out-of-[[scale]] Frenzy (putting him somewhere around 7 feet tall) that folds up to become the larger 'Con's grill in both vehicle and robot mode. It is barely poseable and falls over as easily as Generation 1 [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/Barricade/barricade.htm More information on the original Frenzy at TFU.info]''
{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee vs. Barricade: First Encounter''' (Wal*Mart exclusive two-pack, 2007)

: This Wal*Mart [[exclusive]] deluxe package comes with an unaltered Bumblebee, Barricade and, by extension, Frenzy.
{{-}}
[[Image:Mov2007-toy ReconFrenzy.JPG|right|75px|thumb|]]
*'''Recon Barricade''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)

:This Frenzy is [[FIBRIR|blue!]] Coming with the Barricade [[redeco]], Frenzy similarly gets a new color scheme.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/AllsparkBarricade/barricade.htm More information on AllSpark Power Frenzy at TFU.info]''

*'''Barricade''' (Deluxe Class "Premium Series", 2008)

:Frenzy is back to being silver with red eyes, and his feet/stand/grill has been painted black to blend in with Barricade's car mode.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2008/Decepticon/Barricade/barricade.htm More information on Premium Series Frenzy at TFU.info]''

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB Frenzy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Stupid insects made me look fat.]]
*'''Disc Blast Decepticon Frenzy''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)

: Like most of the [[Fast Action Battler]] toys, this one is fairly inaccurate to the CGI model due to actually having to turn ''into'' something (which the CGI model was not designed to do). It does, however, feature a launching disk that ejects from its chest as a pressure-launched projectile. This version of Frenzy transforms into a two-speaker stereo CD/cassette/radio. It is completely off-model to the movie radio, which is probably due to the figure having been designed before the character's final alt mode was determined.

{{-}}
====Robot Replicas====
[[Image:Movie RobotReplica Frenzy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|STOP, in the name of love. Or I'll shoot you!]]
*'''Decepticon Frenzy''' (Robot Replicas, 2007)

: The [[Robot Replicas]] non-Transforming action figure of Frenzy is considerably closer to the movie's CGI model, even having blue optics rather than the red of most of his other toys. His left forearm can be replaced with an alternate forearm in its machinegun configuration.

: Frenzy is unique among the Robot Replicas in a couple of ways. First, he is the only one that does ''not'' use the [[Revoltech]]-style joints, owing likely to the thinness of his limbs. Secondly, he is the only one with an "action feature" gimmick of sorts; he comes with a CD-blade accessory that stores in his chest, and pushing a button on his back pops it out. The disc does not shoot very far though, unless you really give the button a firm, swift whack, and even then, you're not gonna get much airtime on it.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/RRFrenzy/frenzy.htm More information on Robot Replicas Frenzy at TFU.info]''
{{-}}
====Non-transforming Screen Battles figures====
*'''First Encounter''' (Screen Battles, 2007)

: This Screen Battles pack features a largely unchanged Deluxe class Barricade figure The only real difference is the Frenzy mini-figure, which is now cast entirely in black plastic, sports ''no'' paint applications and is supposed to be stuck permanently inside Barricade's chest thanks to a new, additional piece of plastic (as a matter of fact, the Frenzy figure is also neither advertised on the packaging nor depicted in the instructions). The only way to free him is to remove all four screws from Barricade's undercarriage, then pry the halves of the car apart and slip Frenzy (and his plastic blockade) out quickly.

[[Image:Movie ScreenBattles SamMikaelaFrenzy.jpg|left|200px|thumb|I just want some PANTS. A DECENT PAIR OF PANTS!...and maybe your blood, but mostly the PANTS!]]
:The pack also comes with unposeable figurines of Sam Witwicky in a running pose, a semi-in-scale Frenzy, and Mikaela holding the reciprocating saw she uses to attack him. The set is packaged in a special window box with a diorama depicting the battle between Barricade and Bumblebee. So even though this pack ''technically'' contains ''two'' Frenzy figures, Hasbro put a lot of effort into neutering one of them as good as they could.

:This only applies to the Hasbro version. However, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the pack features a Barricade that is identical to the single pack version, including an easily removable Frenzy figurine cast in grey plastic with painted red eyes.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2007/Decepticon/ScreenBattlesBarricade/barricade.htm More information on Screen Battles Frenzy at TFU.info]''
{{-}}
====Fast food kids meal toys====
[[Image:Movietoy-RedRoosterFrenzy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Even more awesome than it looks!]]
*'''Frenzy''' (Red Rooster, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 discs

: Frenzy transforms from a stereo to a stereo with legs! He comes with two discs, which he can launch. He can launch them mightilly! No, seriously. That little bugger sure can shoot. Which is good, because it's basically all he does.

: (Yeah, there's the transformation... but... well... just look at the picture.)

: (Yup, it's too awesome for words, I know. But it's still pretty simplistic.)

:Released by Tomy Yujin on January 2008<ref name="TomyYujin">[http://www.gachausa.com/products/transformers.asp Tomy Yujin ''Transformers'' page]</ref>, this dangler is a faction logo-shaped screen cleaner for your cell phone, with a stock image of Frenzy printed on the other side.

===Robot Heroes===
[[Image:Movie Robotheroes JazzVsFrenzy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|I'll teach you to be happy! I'll teach your grandmother to suck eggs!]]
*'''Autobot Jazz vs. Decepticon Frenzy''' (2007)

: Released with ''[[Robot Heroes]]'' [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], this version of Frenzy is the most adorably goofy razor blade death robot you ever saw. For some reason he is colored a dark tan, perhaps to offer some color contrast to his pack-in partner. Like the other first wave movie Decepticons, his design was tweaked to be much more human and less monsterous. He only has two (red) eyes, and he has a wide toothy grin in the middle of his mandibles. His articulation is limited to the shoulders, however his head DOES have limited wiggle room on its own joint.
{{-}}
==Trivia==
* An early version of the script featured [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] and Frenzy as one and the same character, named "[[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]". He would have infiltrated the CIA headquarters (rather than Air Force One) in the form of a "portable stereo" and then transformed (and size-shifted) into a Humvee for his escape.<ref name="early">Details from an early script draft [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2213120&postcount=297 summed up here], [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php?p=2214148&postcount=303 confirmed as authentic by Roberto Orci here].</ref>

*Frenzy had three working names; '''Boombot''' was first, '''Soundwave''' was second, and '''Soundbyte''' was third.

*Frenzy is the only Decepticon with blue optic lighting, though most of his released toys have them painted red. It's possible this was a late-ish change, as even the [[Transformers (Glu)|mobile game]] has him sporting red optics. Thanks for [[FIRRIB|continuing the debate]], [[Michael Bay]]!

*Frenzy is the only Decepticon in the movie whose whole robot mode was created as a real physical puppet for filming, used in certain shots aboard Air Force One. (They did make the lower half of frozen Megatron as a set piece, plus [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok's]] head and tail, but that's not quite the same thing.) He and Bumblebee are the only Transformers in the film to have full-body robot mode props.

*Extra pieces of the Frenzy puppet, specifically some fingers, were used to make the charred prop of the "dead" [[Nokia robot]].

*Frenzy (or at very least, a robot who looked ''just'' like him) was most certainly ''not'' in a cage in the back of the [[Sector Seven Mobile Command Unit]]. You were seeing things! It was swamp gas! No, wait—a weather balloon! But definitely ''not'' a robot alien from outer space!

[[Image:Frenzystereo.jpg|right|150px|thumb|According to user reviews, Frenzy is terrible for XM.]]
*Frenzy's robot mode was designed without an exact alternate mode in mind. It was known he was going to be a boom-box, but the designers had to produce a robot mode before the make/model was finalized.

*Frenzy transforms into a real on-the-market [http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5155669 GPX portable stereo]... in the movie, at least. You know you want one. (His [[Fast Action Battler]] toy, and various storybooks, depict him as made-up stereo models.)

*Despite the "no size changing" rule for the movie, Frenzy arguably changes size when he takes the form of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco cellphone. The movie's writers have explained this away as a simple shifting and folding up of parts.

*Frenzy's dialog includes some actual English: "Witwicky", "ladiesman217", "Go, go, go!", "Surprise!", "Where is it?!", "Yes(X5), Megatron(X3)!", "Oh! Megatron melting." and the ever-famous "Oh shit." The rest is all Cybertronian, which according to Michael Bay is primarily rapidly-spoken Tutankhamen.

[[Image:Moviefrenzy blade.jpg|right|170px|thumb|Doesn't look like a CD. Maybe it's one of those new-fangled Blu-Ray disks?]]
*Frenzy's blades, before unfolding, are disguised as CDs. Granted, most CDs don't have hinge points near their center.

*According to his profile card, Frenzy weighs 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds). How much of that mass would be discernible to a human lifting his stereo mode remains unclear. However, a human did indeed carry his stereo mode without much effort in the movie.

*A picture of Frenzy appears on the screen of [[Photon T-34]]. Judging from his pose and the readouts on the screen, Photon did something to slag him off.

*Frenzy is the first movie Transformer shown to be able to exist as just a head, adding another wrinkle to his status as living or deceased. This poses [[Headmaster|opportunities]].

Talk:Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)

2009-04-05T12:32:24Z

Spongezilla:

Is this actually a franchise? A franchise has a continuity/ies associated with it in every other use we have. This has like 4, most of which predate Universe 2008. This feels more like an umbrella title for a product 'line' containing offerings from multiple franchises than than a franchise itself. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
:Judging by the list of "franchises" on the [[Franchise]] page (Commemorative Series? Machine Wars?), yeah, this fits. Maybe we need to revise our definition. [[User:JW|JW]] 01:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
::As the guy who's put most of that list together, I will say that it includes ''every'' toy line, regardless of the amount of fiction associated with it or the universe that the fiction falls under. Some franchises ''are'' little more than toylines, but ''every'' toyline has some kind of fiction associated with it, even if it's just a lame quote for the character. Maybe that list is more toy lines than true franchises, but I don't know how or where you'd draw the line. But, re: Derik's concern, if "continuity" was the sole requirement for being a franchise, then BW and BM would get sucked up by G1. All the new Universe stuff is being marketed under a common packaging style and title -- that to me is the very definition of a franchise. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 02:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
:::So, what do we call this on the front page? Universe 2008? --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 04:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

=="Armada" Section Incorrectly Titled==
That 12-pack of Mini-Cons is under the subtitle "Armada", but the Armada line has nothing to do with the set other than introduce Mini-Cons, in that all those 'cons in the set are Classics era molds. All Armada minicon team molds wore out after the Cybertron two packs, although Armada "bulk" molds still usable are gang-molded with the acompanying mini-con(s), which is why movie Inferno (Armada Red-Alert repaint) has the unamed (Longarm) mini-con. Also, isn't the 12-set a K-Mart Exclusive, and thus be written as such?

:The set is a K-Mart Exclusive, yes.. but it is also clearly identified as 'Armada Series' for Universe. [[Special:Contributions/75.70.220.16|75.70.220.16]] 22:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Sweet! (fangirl squeal!)

Think there's any chance in high heaven they *might* consider cgi-ing the rest of the '86 movie? I would sssssoooo love to see Soundwave like that!

Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?--[[User:Nightshade83|Nightshade83]] 13:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

== I think it's time to change this just a bit ==

OK we have a bit of inaccuracy in this article, as I just noticed.
Hasbro has just published the official bios for some of the toys on the Hasbro toys shop page, and it shows us that Blaster and Heavy load are not part of the classics series!
See for youself:
[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&SBR=97&ST=SO&ID=21936&PG=2 Heavy load]
[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&SBR=97&ST=SO&ID=21937&PG=2 Blaster] and as a comparison, [http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsByBrand.htm?BR=496&SBR=97&ST=SO&ID=21959&PG=1 ONSLAUGHT].
Now we have to create a separate page for Blaster, also a separate section for the non classics Universe figures.[[User:Dead Metal|Dead Metal]] 17:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

== Classic vs Generation 1 ==

The article still reads as if the Classic sub-line is an active part of the franchise. I don't have any proof, but I don't think any future releases will be branded Classics Series. Any toys that would have been Classics will probably now be released as Generation 1/G1 Series (or possibly G2 as with Inferno). There is thus no need to ask what the difference is between the two. BOTH of them are/were lines that release(d) toys inspired of the Generation 1 characters utilizing modern construction. The NAME was changed, probably to avoid making other sub-lines seem less important by avoiding the idea that Beast Wars or Armada characters are not "classic" in their own right.

:''Starscream is a [[Decepticon|Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers Animated|Transformers Animated]] [[Continuity family|continuity family]].''

[[Image:Starscreamanimated.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Specialist skills: <s>barefist fighting</s> backstabbing, aggressive negotiation, dramatic oratory, self-resurrection, clone production, chin-stroking.]]
'''Starscream''' is easily as accomplished, powerful and deserving of leadership as [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. At least, that's what he thinks. Power-hungry and driven by jealousy, Starscream operates through three ideals: lying, manipulation and deception. And when all else fails, a bit of sabotage never goes astray. Wise bots are careful about turning their backs on Starscream, just in case it's the day he finally decides to shove in the knife.

Though not as powerful as Megatron (despite what he thinks of himself), Starscream is by no means a wimp. His weapons can demolish large buildings, and he can fly around so fast that he can break free of [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet's]] magnetic powers. Unfortunately, all these abilities are offset by an enormous ego and the tendency to make long, overbearing speeches when he should just get on with it and fight. More than once, his leanings towards bombast have caused him to miss a golden opportunity. Sadly, he doesn't seem to be learning from these mistakes.

{{ongoing}}
{{note|Events from [[IDW Publishing|IDW Publishing]] comics are in italics.}}
:''Voice actor:'' [[Tom Kenny|Tom Kenny]] (English), [[Stefan Staudinger|Stefan Staudinger]] (German)

Starscream was aboard the ''[[Nemesis (Animated)|Nemesis]]'' when it came across an [[Teletran-1|Autobot repair ship]] that appeared to be emitting the energy signature of the fabled [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]]. Starscream's doubt of the AllSpark's very existence and his dismissal of Megatron's millennia-long search did not sit well with [[Lugnut|Lugnut]], and an argument broke out on the bridge until Megatron himself arrived and all fell silent. Starscream was forced to eat his words when [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] confirmed that the energy coming off the ship was indeed that of the AllSpark, but quickly volunteered to secure it for his leader. Seeing through his lieutenant's greed, Megatron put a dent in Starscream's wing and rose to obtain it for himself. As he was leaving, however, Starscream arrived at the airlock to wish Megatron luck and patted him on the back—planting an overload device on him in the process. As Megatron attacked the Autobot ship, the device overloaded his circuits and caused an explosion that led Starscream to believe that Megatron was no more. In the aftermath of the blast, Starscream got so caught up in his own greatness that he didn't notice that his comrades had left him on the ship, hurtling towards an exploding space bridge.

[[Image:MegsRisingPt1-StarTeeth.jpg|left|150px|thumb|He gained strength and speed and shiny teeth and as the Huntsman was reboo-oorn!]]
Surviving the explosion, Starscream spent the next fifty [[Units of time|solar cycles]] searching for the [[AllSpark (Animated)|AllSpark]] on his own, using the damaged ship as a base (and probably getting a few screws loose in his [[Central processor|central processor]] in the meantime). Detecting the faint signal of the AllSpark on [[Earth|Earth]], Starscream tapped into television broadcasts from the planet and discovered that the Autobot ship had landed there. ''While heading for the planet, Starscream was approached by Blackarachnia, who was also seeking the AllSpark for her own purposes and proposed an alliance. Starscream was unsurprisingly unwilling to share power, and he booted Blackarachnia out into space just before the ship warped away. Starscream was so occupied by the task, howevever, that he failed to notice Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] appearing in the ship's path.'' {{storylink|The Arrival issue 1}}

One crash-landing later, Starscream abandoned the ruined hulk of the ship and headed down to Earth, immediately drawing the attention of military jets. After a brief dogfight, Starscream scanned one of the jets as an alternate mode in order to continuing searching incognito. The search did not go on long, as Starscream found the Autobots watching a [[Crimson Angels]] air show, and he quickly joined in the proceedings. Upon revealing himself to the Autobots, he quickly thrashed each of them individually. Starscream mocked them, apparently assuming that the Autobots thought ''they'' had really defeated Megatron (whom he referred to as "the great Megatron" without sarcasm, so he seems to have at least a loathing respect for his leader's power). All too boastful of his cunning, Starscream boldly admitted that Megatron was already defeated by the bomb which Starscream himself had put on him. Despite being more powerful than the Autobots, Starscream failed to take the AllSpark, partially because he [[Megatron (BW)|spent too much time gloating]]. [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] grabbed Starscream in midair, and they opened the AllSpark, releasing a massive wave of energy. Optimus was killed by the energy surge and subsequent fall (he got better), while Starscream disappeared. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

''Starscream was hurled into the wilderness by the AllSpark energy surge, where he lay, unconscious and undisturbed, for an unspecified period of time. Eventually, Starscream came back online, only to discover that his body had succumbed to [[stasis lock]], leaving him immobile. As "luck" would have it, it was at this moment that he was happened upon by the villainous [[Professor Princess]], whom Starscream attempted to sweet-talk into triggering his manual reset. She was insistent upon "fixing up" Starscream first, plastering him with makeup and a wig, but when the horrified Starscream screamed at her, she just decided to blast him. Her rainbow-blast jumpstarted Starscream's systems, and he seized the Professor, but before he could reduce her to a pink stain, she threatened to broadcast an image of the prettified Starscream all over the world and perhaps the galaxy. Preferring ''not'' to be hideously embarrassed, Starscream let her live and quickly departed, unaware that she'd worked her fashion magic on his wings, too.'' {{storylink|The Arrival issue 2}}

[[Image:Megatron rising 1 Starscream freakout.jpg|left|150px|thumb|"Do you have any idea how long I spent preparing that speech!?"]]
Starscream laid low on Earth, until he revealed himself to a badly damaged [[Blitzwing (Animated)|Blitzwing]] and Lugnut, offering them help in exchange for their loyalty. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}} After repairing the duo, Starscream continually had to reassert his authority over the two walking malfunctions, who were quick to point out that their service was by threat, not choice. As Lugnut went prostrate with praise, Starscream was initially quite flattered by the hulking Decepticon's obsequity, but quickly learned that the big guy was being manipulated by an outside source. Tracking the transmission, he came to [[Sumdac Tower]] and was quite surprised to find the disembodied head of his former leader. Megatron, aware of Starscream's betrayal after seeing a news report on his earlier battle with the Autobots {{storylink|Home Is Where the Spark Is}} but not wanting to tip his hand, greeted Starscream as a "devoted and faithful subject", while Starscream adopted a subservient attitude himself. Beginning the smug monologue to end all smug monologues, he was interrupted by the senseless heroics of the Autobot [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]. Focusing his attentions on the yellow little squirt, he mistakenly assumed that Megatron was helpless, an oversight that allowed the galactic despot to control the lab's machinery and defenestrate the traitor. Even so Starscream remained fixated on Bumblebee, and thus was caught unaware when the repaired form of Megatron burst from the tower roof. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 1}}

[[Image:PayThePiper.JPG|left|150px|thumb|Ghost in three...two...one...]]
Starscream watched with interest, tossing Bumblebee around absentmindedly as Megatron trashed the Autobots. When Megatron called out his loyal Decepticons, Starscream gracefully landed on Lugnut's head, ready to return to his position as second-in-command. Megatron prepared to fire on the Autobots, but quickly lashed out and rammed the [[Key]] into Starscream's chest, seemingly offlining the traitor, who then crumpled to the ground. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 2}}

[[Image:Jagged.JPG|right|150px|thumb|All tied up and ready for Kiss Players.]]
Sometime later, Starscream awoke on a garbage barge, evidently thrown in by an Autobot cleaning up Detroit. He found he couldn't detect any Decepticons, not even himself. Panicking, he wondered if he was dead, but recovered when he realized he was still on Earth. Furious, he managed to track down Lugnut and Blitzwing and to follow them to the Decepticon base. There he challenged Megatron and was soundly sliced, blasted and thrown off a cliff. However, he again revived, except now he had no [[spark]]! Starscream discovered he was being kept alive by an AllSpark fragment embedded in his head. Using this newfound immortality to his advantage, he again attacked Megatron... and again and again and again, each time taking a trouncing and having his corpse thrown off a cliff by Blitzwing and Lugnut. Discovering another fragment, he set up a trap that would draw Megatron out and blow up both him and the city. He embedded the shard in a train engine, and as the overloading machine drew out Megatron, Blitzwing, the [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] AND the Earth team, the plan seemed to be working. Unfortunately, the Autobots stopped the train, and Megatron knocked Starscream out of the sky, sending him crashing into the midst of the Autobots. He blasted [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] and took back his fragment, but was put into stasis lock when Optimus slipped [[Stasis cuffs|some cuffs]] on him. He was last seen bound, gagged and being taken onto the [[Elite Guard's ship|Elite Guard vessel]]. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}}

While in transit on said vessel, Starscream somehow blasted his way out, once again vowing revenge against Megatron. Magnus sent word to Optimus Prime, warning him that Starscream was most likely on his way back to Earth. Megatron, eavesdropping on the conversation, offered a substantial reward for bringing Starscream to him.

To this end, [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] ran off by himself to the resting place of the ''Nemesis'' on the Moon, where he ran right into Starscream. Despite getting in behind Prowl, Starscream was rather easily disabled and put in stasis cuffs. While [[Lockdown]] and Prowl battled, Starscream somehow managed to escape.

Lockdown and Prowl agreed to team up, and they tracked down an apparently very scared Starscream, who was captured easily. While Lockdown brought him to Megatron, another Starscream turned up. This Starscream tried to deal with the Autobots, suggesting they team up to deal with their common enemy, Megatron. Prowl disabled him with ease, despite making a total mess.

[[Image:Lotta starscreams.jpg|left|thumb|Megs is gonna have a field day.]]
Shortly after Lockdown delivered "Starscream" into the hands of Megatron, the Autobots showed with the other Starscream. Confusion ensued, and suddenly both Starscreams exposed internal bombs, and a recording of the real Starscream revealed that his entire plan was to allow the [[Starscream clone|clones of himself]] to be captured and take out all his enemies in one fell swoop. In his infinite wisdom, however, he apparently programmed the bombs to explode long after everyone had realized what had happened. Prowl sent the clones into the sky, where they exploded without destroying the city.

Afterwards, Megatron increased the bounty on Starscream, this time stipulating that it had to be the ''real'' one. Watching, Starscream cursed Megatron (again) and dismissed his failure, noting he had plenty more clones—an army of them. {{storylink|A Fistful of Energon}}

[[Image:Starscream with Shescream.jpg|thumb|Technically, she is my sister, and therefore unable to take me as her lover. After much soul searching, I have reluctantly decided, "What the hell", I just won't tell her.]]
His time alone allowed him to produce five clones of himself, which he empowered with small slivers of the AllSpark fragment in his head, giving them life. He quickly learned that each of the Starscreams was a different aspect of his personality: [[Coward Starscream|cowardice]], [[Egomaniac Starscream|ego]], [[Sunstorm (Animated)|sycophancy]], [[Liar Starscream|deception]], and...[[Female Starscream|something else]]. He asked the female version of him where she came from, and she said not to ask. Once introductions were done, he ordered them on their merry way to Megatron's base. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}}

[[Image:TFA ABTC1 Screamer Clones Emerge.jpg|left|thumb|There can be only one!]]
Upon reaching the base, the clone army attacked, leading to a free-for-all against Megatron's forces and the Autobots who'd assembled to stop the Decepticon leader's plan. During the fight, Starscream became fed up with his female clone telling him how to handle Megatron, as he'd been working on killing him long before she existed. She was unimpressed with his results to date. Eventually, his team overwhelmed Megatron, allowing two of the clones to subdue him while Starscream prepared to deal the killing blow. Starscream relished the moment, wryly assuring Megatron that he'd tell everyone that he died fighting valiantly—after naming Starscream as his successor. Abruptly, Starscream got head-jacked by [[Isaac Sumdac]] in a [[Headmaster (Animated)|Headmaster]] unit.

Starscream's inert body fell on top of his head, which put him out of action. Panicking, he told his clones to attack, but was outraged when they all sided with Megatron instead. Starscream's head was then glued to one of the walls by [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]]'s concrete. When he tried to mock Megatron's plan for the conquest of Cybertron, he had his mouth closed by more concrete. Poor Screamer.

[[Image:TFA ABTC2 Megatron Screamer End.jpg|150px|thumb|So...Megatron..how've you been]]
When Megatron's newly activated [[Space bridge|Space bridge]] ran out of power to maintain the portal to Cybertron, Megatron replaced the AllSpark fragment with Starscream's head, which overloaded the power systems. This caused the portal to expand and attempt to suck everything around it into itself. This included Starscream's head and Megatron, the latter of whom was disabled by Autobot stasis cuffs, which prevented him from resisting the space bridge's pull. The overload also caused the space bridge receiving coordinates to be deleted, dumping the pair into empty space. Without a body to maneuver, Starscream was forced to look at Megatron, while Megatron, still disabled by the stasis cuffs, suffered a similar problem. A long night of bickering commenced. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}}

Megatron kept uncovering Starscream's hide-outs, and so Starscream took his clone army and seized control of the Autobots' own base, reasoning the Decepticons would never look for him ''there''. His plan was undone by the [[Dinobot (Animated)|Dinobots]]. {{storylink|Dino-MIGHT!}}

He later acted as the backer for the supervillain [[Crossroads]], giving him a sliver of Megatron (no, it ''wasn't'' explained how he got it) that completed the man's robot-controlling gauntlets. Starscream didn't care that Crossroads was going to hurt robots, as long as he made sure to turn the city against the Autobots. Boo, hiss! {{storylink|Crossroads!}}

*'''Starscream''' (Voyager, 2008)
*''Accessories:'' 2 missiles
: Starscream transforms into a futuristic, forward-swept wing fighter jet based upon the [http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/s37/ Su-47 (S-37) Berkut Experimental Fighter] and the [http://www.new-un-spacy.com/macrossplus/yf-19.htm YF-19 "Alpha One"] from the series ''[[wikipedia:Macross_Plus|Macross Plus]]''.

: His twin sonic shock blasters can slide forward, opening panels on his forearms (referred to as blasters on the packaging). Landing gear in his vehicle mode flip down from his undercarriage, and his blasters flip forward or back for a "hidden" attack. He also features two [[Automorph|automorph]] gimmicks. When his nose cone is pushed in, his undercarriage folds into his hips. Folding his shoulders down also pushes up his head. Though not really an "automorph", with the arms and legs out of the way, his spring loaded wings fold down by themselves. His arms are also ''just'' poseable enough to stroke that enormous chin.

:His missiles have tiny shark faces molded into them.

:As with [[Seeker|past incarnations]], Starscream was [[Redeco|redecoed]] as [[Skywarp (Animated)|''Animated'' Skywarp]] and will be redecoed again as [[Sunstorm (Animated)|''Animated'' Sunstorm]].

[[Image:Activatorsstarscream.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I shall call him Screamer and he shall be mine and he shall be my Screamer. Come here, Screamer!]]
*'''Starscream''' (Activators, 2008)

: A smaller, simpler version of Starscream, the Activators Starscream toy has a spring-loaded autotransform gimmick that springs him from harrier jet mode to robot mode in one easy step, although robot to harrier jet mode is still that good old manual click-it-up yourself transformation, giving you the best of both worlds.

: Activators Starscream greatly resembles Voyager Starscream, especially when compared to several other Activators and their respective larger toys, with the only discernible difference between Activators and Voyager Starscream is that Activator Starscream's wings sit lower on his back. Most notably, this toy possesses more show-accurate weapons than its Voyager counterpart, due to the lack of a launching mechanism.

: This mold was also used to make ''Animated'' [[Thundercracker (Animated)|Thundercracker]] and [[Dirge (Animated)|Dirge]].

*'''Starscream''' (McDonald's Happy Meal Toy, 2008)

:A simple version of Starscream with a very simple transformation sequence. A tad unique among the McDonald's ''Animated'' toys, he has given up a toy accurate vehicle mode for a toy accurate robot mode. You transform him by splitting the front of the jet to form the legs, snapping up the feet, lowering the rear wings and rotating his head. His robot mode, save for the fact the wings are pointing the wrong direction and that he is missing his guns, is decently [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]], but his vehicle mode totally sucks. Plain and simple.

*'''Rescue Ratchet''' (Animated 3-pack, 2008)

: A ''Universe'' Legends-class Starscream came packaged with this version of [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], as well as a Legends [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]].

{{-}}

===Universe (2008)===
[[Image:Universe2008-toy LegendsAniStarscream.JPG|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Starscream''' (Legends, 2008)

:Legends-class Starscream transforms surprisingly similarly to his larger counterparts. He is notable for being the only version of the character to have his weapons mounted correctly on his upper arms, rather than his lower arms (though this is largely because he completely lacks elbows). However, as with his past versions, he is again not gray, but apparently a shade of blue.

:This toy can also be found as part of the ''Animated'' [[Ratchet (Animated)|Rescue Ratchet]] three-pack with Legends [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]], but with a more purple redeco.

==Trivia==
*In a podcasted audio interview, [[Marty Isenberg]] revealed that he originally wanted to play Starscream's name ironically — he wanted the character to have a quiet, whispery tone, as he '''really''' didn't like the screechy voice of [[Starscream (G1)|the original Starscream]] (though, at the same time, he pointed out that he has nothing against [[Chris Latta|his actor]]). [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] argued against this idea, and Tom Kenny's reading finally won Marty over.
* Though he never ''truly'' took out Megatron, this Starscream may be the most successful to bear the name to date.
* According to the Decepticon character descriptions sent out in the initial [[Cartoon Network]] press release for ''Transformers Animated'', Starscream "can affect a sonic scream and produce powerful blasts of sound that can send enemies spinning through the atmosphere". Thus far, it is unconfirmed ''in the fiction'' {{fact}} as to just what Starscream's weapons are, although his toy packaging declares that he has "twin sonic shock blasters" rather than [[null-rays]]. Of course, a bio on the [[Hasbro]] website declares that ''Animated'' Starscream '''does''' have null-rays... while otherwise being a direct copy of the press release text, which doesn't mention them anywhere. Aieee. Starscream's "sonic scream", meanwhile, appears in the third season episode "Transwarped", apparently a modification created by the AllSpark fragment in his head.
* Starscream's toys seem to have the tendency to never actually bear his gray colors, instead having various blues and purples.
* This is not the first Starscream to [[Starscream's Ghost|persistently]] [[Possession|cheat]] death. [[Starscream (G1)|Some]] [[Starscream (Armada)|others]] beat him to the punch.
* First, Starscream was responsible for reducing Megatron into a talking head. Now Sumdac's turned him into a talking head. Karma's a funny thing.

Wasp

[[Image:WaspAutobot.jpg|thumb|160px|right|Wasp and Bee. Obvious, with hindsight.]]

:''Wasp is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers Animated]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Wasp''' is a lot like [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]]. Built from the same chassis and sharing many of the same specifications and subroutines, the two Autobots attended boot camp together. Wasp's personality leaves something to be desired, but he had a lot going for him, being highly skilled in the use of his stingers and knowing just how to toe the line with the drill sergeant. In a better life, he might have been [[Cybertronian Elite Guard]] commander material.

''Might'' have.

{{quote|Bumblebot not hide from Wasp. Wasp swears he finds Bumblebot. Wasp make Bumblebot pay for ruining Wasp's life!|Wasp twitching his eyes while alone.|"[[Autoboot Camp]]"}}

==Fiction==

===''Animated'' cartoon===
{{ongoing}}
:''Voice actor:'' [[Tom Kenny]] (English)
{{spoiler|Autoboot Camp}}
Wasp was a cadet in the same group as Bumblebee, [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], [[Ironhide (Animated)|Ironhide]] and [[Longarm Prime|Longarm]], under the heavy hand of [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Minor]]. The loud-mouthed sergeant took an immediate liking to "Wasp", as he dubbed him, while Wasp and Ironhide immediately became close friends.

After Bumblebee "bumbled" several times, leading to many [[transform-up]]s for the whole group, Wasp and Ironhide decided to take matters into their own hands, unscrewing Bumblebee's lower legs and leaving them out of reach even before they dumped the rest of him in a locker.

Unbeknownst to Wasp, however, the reason for Bumblebee's foul-ups was that he was trying to out a traitor in the group—and had pegged Wasp as the likely culprit after seeing him walk out of a hangar in which someone had contacted [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]]. At Longarm's prompting, Bumblebee eventually found evidence incriminating Wasp as a spy. Wasp was stripped of his Autobot insignia and wheeled away, protesting his innocence and swearing revenge on Bumblebee. [[Image:Wasp_Animated_Cartoon.JPG‎|thumb|right|Caution is advised, as this 'Bot is armed and extremely crazy.]]

[[Image:WaspAnimated2.jpg|thumb|left|Waspinator has Planzzzz...]]
Many years later, Wasp escaped from Autobot custody and apparently eluded the now-Sentinel Prime by jumping through a [[Space bridge#Animated|space bridge]]. In reality, however, the innocent bot—broken physically and mentally by his years of imprisonment—had been set up with evidence planted by "Longarm", who had also arranged Wasp's "escape" to divert suspicion from himself. What was left of Wasp hid beneath the bridge as Sentinel left, buzzing and twittering to himself, still swearing revenge on "Bumblebot"... {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}

==Trivia==

*Wasp's time in prison seems to have shattered his mind and transformed him into a character akin to [[Waspinator]] of ''[[Beast Wars]]'' fame. Both of these people get misfortune spung on them, but this character's misfortune is in a more serious vein than slapstick violence. The role of whipping boy is [[Tutor Bot|another]]'s.
*In the present day, after Wasp escapes, his gold is now lime green and his eyes are now purple.
*We certainly hope Hasbro recognizes the [[redeco]]/[[retool]] potential here.

Spongezilla: /* Wave IV */

This line of 3" Transformers was originally available in smaller "[[Market six]]" chain stores like Meijers for around $3.99, although later waves were available at Toys "R" Us and K-Mart. The molds are scaled down versions of [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]-original figures, with less detail and different transformations.

Later, the molds were [[redeco]]ed in G1-style color schemes for the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' line. The latest entries in the line features character designs from the new live-action [[Transformers (2007)|''Transformers'' movie]], with more ''Classics'' themed redecos of the ''Cybertron'' molds as part of a new [[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe line]] due in 2008.

{{Note|There is some confusion as to the actual name of the price-point. It was variously solicited online as'' Cybertron All-Stars, Cybertron Micro Series, ''and'' Legends of Cybertron. ''However, both the'' Classics '' and live action movie versions and Hasbro Toyshop now list the figures as being'' Legends ''class, so that title seems to have won out.}}

Soundwave (G1)

2008-05-30T13:05:56Z

Spongezilla: /* Trivia */

{{disambig3|Soundwave}}
{{picsneeded|Appearances in fiction}}

:''Soundwave is a [[Decepticon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. In the Japanese series, he later took the name '''Soundblaster'''.''

[[Image:Soundwave_mixalot.jpg|thumb|300px|Big butts: preferred. Lying: impossible.]]

'''Soundwave''' is one of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s most reliable troops, and he has positioned himself comfortably and irreplaceably in Megatron's upper command structure. He stands at the [[Decepticon leader]]'s side as a confidant. Though "only" Communications Officer, he is comparable to [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] in rank and is the only one of the three to display consistent loyalty to Megatron. Soundwave guards his place in the hierarchy fiercely. Other Decepticons (except Megatron) see him as a two-faced snake, since, as Communications Officer, Soundwave hears all and doesn't hesitate to use blackmail to keep himself high in Megatron's esteem. The other Decepticons wouldn't mind abandoning him on the battlefield{{m-}}if they thought Megatron would let them get away with it.

Soundwave commands [[Mini-Cassette|a legion of cassette troops]] to carry out tasks big and small. He has a symbiotic relationship with them, providing them transportation and a cheap, if cramped, place to live in his chest. Sometimes he lets them all out to watch impromptu gladiator games or takes them to discotheques. In return, they perform spy and recon missions for him and make sure no one calls him "unchrasimatic". 

He usually has all the personality of a stump (as evidenced by his computer-style speech). He also has no imagination, sending the aforementioned cassettes on operations with mundane names.

{{quote|As you command, Megatron.|Soundwave, eternal loyalist|''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
{{note|Events from the UK-only comic stories are in italics.}}
[[Image:Contentedfools.jpg|left|thumb|200px|[[Ravage]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and Soundwave, the first Decepticons.]]

After the Transformers' awakening on Earth, Soundwave served quietly under Megatron before Megatron was overthrown by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. Under Shockwave's command, Soundwave attacked the [[Blackrock Aerospace Plant]] and secured it for Decepticon use. {{storylink|Warrior School!}} The plant's facilities were used to create the [[Constructicons]], who built a massive radio dish that Soundwave used to beam a message back to Cybertron. {{storylink|The Next Best Thing to Being There!}}

''A short time later, during a brief period when both Megatron and Shockwave were missing in action, Soundwave assumed leadership of the Decepticons, happily slagging off [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream's]] ambitions of leadership. His first attempt at manipulating Autobots into a trap failed. {{storylink|Crisis of Command!}} The second, taking advantage of the "Dinobot Hunt", was a major success - six Autobots were badly injured, not counting two of the Dinobots, and a large amount of fuel was stolen while the Autobots tried to stop a Dinobot rampage in a human town. On the way out, Soundwave went "neener neener" at Optimus and got away with it.'' {{storylink|Dinobot Hunt!}}

When Megatron resurfaced, rendered immobile in a Wyoming coal mine due to lack of fuel, Soundwave sped to his rescue, re-energizing him. {{storylink| I, Robot Master!}} ''Using the splintered state of the Decepticon forces to his advantage, Soundwave worked both sides of the field, reporting to both Megatron and the returned Shockwave, each without the other's knowledge. When Shockwave learned that the human [[Buster Witwicky]] had begun to suffer [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced visions of the [[combiner|next leap in Transformer evolution]], Soundwave reported this to Megatron, prompting him to battle Shockwave for leadership. The Decepticons' human ally, [[Robot Master]], televised the battle, much to Soundwave's distaste, and in order to prevent the Decepticons from looking like fools, he interrupted the duel and insisted that they agree to a joint leadership.'' {{storylink|Second Generation!}}

[[Image:Laserbeakwarriorschool.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Fly, my pretties, fly!]]
''When the [[Robot-Master]] hoax the Decepticons were perpetrating was threatened by the investigative work of [[Joy Meadows]], Soundwave was instrumental in ending the conflict that ensued between the Decepticons and the Dinobots by holding the reporter hostage and destroying her footage.'' {{storylink|In the National Interest}} ''Not long thereafter, when the deranged future Decepticon, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], traveled back in time, Soundwave was intrigued by the fact that he was unable to scan his mind to discern the truth of his identity. Siding with Megatron when conflict erupted, Soundwave and his leader were buried under an avalanche by Galvatron and then rescued by the Autobots in the name of forming an alliance to defeat their common enemy.'' {{storylink|Target 2006}}

''It would be some time before Soundwave came back to the fore, and his return to the spotlight was an ignominious one. With Megatron having apparently died, Soundwave was now once again under Shockwave's command, and, while patrolling on the Decepticons' mobile island base, he found himself attacked and subdued by the time-traveling freelance peace-keeping agent, [[Death's Head]], and tricked into giving up information on the whereabouts of Galvatron.'' {{storylink|Hunters!}} ''Although Death's Head's attempts to track down the Decepticon met with failure, Galvatron was ultimately entombed in lava, where he was later discovered by [[Susan Hoffman]]. Soundwave observed a televised broadcast of her discovery, and he and the [[Combaticon]]s attempted to destroy Galvatron with explosives planted around the volcano in question. After a battle with the [[Throttlebot]]s, Soundwave found that he was unable to remote-detonate the explosives planted around the volcano thanks to Blaster jamming his signal.'' {{storylink|Ladies' Night}}

[[Image:Soundwave uscomics.jpg|thumb|left|G2 before it was cool.]]

When Shockwave was removed from power, Soundwave smoothly transitioned to serving under the new Decepticon leader, Ratbat, and helped to operate his [[Realvision]] playback system to decode data from Autobot tapes [[Grand Slam]] and [[Raindance]]. {{storylink|The Flames of Boltax!}} The tapes, it was discovered, contained information on the [[Underbase]], the power of which was desired by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] so badly he sparked off a Decepticon-Decepticon war to cover himself. Soundwave ended up having his fuel pump torn into by [[Bomb-Burst]]. {{storylink|Cold War!}} When Starscream gained the Underbase's power and targeted the Earth, Soundwave co-led the defense of New York alongside [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], but was temporarily deactivated by a blast of cosmic power from Starscream. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}

''He was back on his feet by the time that Starscream, now a [[Pretender]], was busy doubting his self-worth. Soundwave was extremely scared of Starscream by this point.'' {{storylink|Fallen Star!}} He continued to operate under the command of the new Decepticon Earth commander, [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], though like the other troops he was very unhappy about Starscream being allowed back in after ''trying to kill everyone''. {{storylink|Primal Scream}} He was put in charge of guarding Optimus Prime after the Autobot leader surrendered his troops to Scorponok, hoping to elicit an alliance against the coming of [[Unicron]]. When Prime changed his mind about meekly waiting in a cell for Scorponok to make time for him, however, Soundwave provided little resistance in keeping him there. {{storylink|Surrender!}} After the Decepticon auxillary army bombed Scorponok's base in New Jersey, Soundwave assumed temporary command of the active Decepticons in fighting back against the traitors, led by Starscream and Shockwave. This "[[Decepticon Civil War]]" didn't last long, though, as all the Autobots and Decepticons of Earth were summoned to Cybertron by [[Primus]] to deal with Unicron. {{storylink|Out of Time!}}

Soundwave survived the war with Unicron, but was apparently not a favorite of the new Decepticon commander, [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]], and faded somewhat into the background.

=====Marvel UK future timelines=====

''In 2008, Soundwave was under the command of Shockwave on Cybertron. When the bounty hunter named [[Death's Head]] arrived with the deactivated bodies of the renegades [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and demanded an audience, Shockwave had Soundwave wait nearby as a precautionary measure. Sure enough, Soundwave's monitoring abilities alerted Shockwave that the two Decepticons were not as dead as they seemed, and the three invaders began an assassination attempt on Shockwave. Soundwave summoned the [[Stunticon]]s, hoping that [[Menasor]] could breach the sealed doors of the audience chamber in time, but wasn't swift enough. Death's Head killed Shockwave, and together the trio demanded that the Decepticons accept Scourge and Cyclonus as their new leaders. Faced with superior firepower and a hefty dose of explosives, Soundwave was reluctantly forced to accept on behalf of the Decepticons. ''

''Wasting no time, Scourge and Cyclonus commanded the Decepticons to begin a full-scale assault on [[Autobase]]. This was effectively suicide, as the two armies were just about evenly matched. That, of course, was the point -- Scourge and Cyclonus's true master, Unicron, wanted the children of Primus exhausted and depleted in number by the time of his glorious resurrection. After [[Rodimus Prime]] and Death's Head took the fight straight to the recuperating Unicron on [[Junk]], however, he summoned his two minions back to his side. Seeing their "glorious leaders" abandon the battle, Soundwave and [[Hun-Grrr]] sounded a retreat. In the absence of Unicron's spawn, Soundwave became the new permanent leader of the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} ''

''Aching to make a name for himself in Decepticon military history, Soundwave soon fell into a [[Quintesson]] trap. A lone Quintesson arrived at Decepticon headquarters, seeking an alliance against the Autobots, who supposedly had assembled most of their fleet and were on their way to [[Quintessa]]. Instead of helping the Quintessons, Soundwave saw this as an opportunity to invade and destroy the Autobot territory on Cybertron, when most of their warriors were off-world. He assembled his various sub-commanders and set out aboard [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] to claim a glorious victory.''

''Instead, Soundwave and the Decepticons walked right into an ambush. There were no Autobots on Quintessa: it was a ruse to draw them out of their base, where legions of [[Allicon]]s and [[Trident]] assault craft waited to overwhelm the Decepticons. Seeing the danger his troops were in, Soundwave was forced to call in the Autobots. Sending a garbled distress beacon to Autobase, Soundwave hoped to draw a suitable fighting force of Autobots to their location. He was successful, as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] and his men remained to fight even after learning who the distress call came from. Autobot and Decepticon fought side-by-side until the Quintesson invaders were either destroyed or driven off-world. In a moment of introspection, Soundwave realized how effective the two armies were when fighting as one instead of as enemies...but quickly brushed aside the idea. Simply too much had happened between the Autobots and Decepticons to ever hope for a peaceful end to the war. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''

''In 2009, Soundwave and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s were on Earth, prepping a new energy extraction system to leech the planet dry. A surgical strike led by [[Kup]] and Ultra Magnus destroyed all their equipment, however, leaving their power cells empty of [[energon]]. Looking for revenge, the Decepticons pursued the Autobots back to Autobot City, only to find an open [[Time-jump mechanism|trans-time dimensional portal]]. Realizing the Autobots had fled back to 1989 on a mission of unknown purpose, the vengeful Terrorcons wanted to pursue them. Giving in to popular opinion, Soundwave led his troops back through time and right into the midst of the Time Wars.''

''Recognizing that the uncontrolled timestorm could conceivably destroy all of existence, Soundwave chose to put aside vendettas for the moment, and added his men to the alliance of Autobots and Decepticons from two time periods against the unmatched power and evil of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Straxus|Megatron]] combined. Still, the alliance was far from perfect: Soundwave was more than willing to allow the Autobots to charge in first, letting them die in order to "soften up" the resistance. When things turned ugly, Soundwave and the Terrorcons then fled back to 2009, apparently without ever getting their hands dirty. Their final fate after reality restructured itself and the timestorm abated is unknown. {{storylink|Time Wars}}''

=====Earthforce=====
{{earthforcefiction}}
[[Image:Secrets_Soundwave.jpg|right|200px|thumb|The Decepticons never got the hang of Internal Affairs.]]

''In an alternate timeline, Soundwave left Scorponok's army and returned to serving at Megatron's side during the [[Decepticon Civil War]] against Shockwave. He was not above exploiting the conflict for his own ends, however. When an energon shipment was hijacked by Shockwave's forces thanks to information Soundwave had given them, Megatron came to suspect the presence of a traitor in his ranks, but ironically assigned Soundwave to identify the culprit. To keep his own duplicity a secret, Soundwave set up [[Wildrider]] to take the fall, and Megatron destroyed the [[Stunticon]]. Soundwave not only got away with his treachery, he went on to happily blackmail everyone he'd mind-scanned - eat your heart out, Starscream! {{storylink|Secrets}}''

''Approached by Starscream with a plan to make them both Decepticon leaders, Soundwave joined forces with the schemer and lured Megatron and Shockwave to an airport, tipping off the Autobots to their location. With the two leaders thus occupied, Soundwave and Starscream took control of both factions. {{storylink|Internal Affairs!}} Subsequently, Soundwave led an all-out attack on the Earthforce base as a diversion, while Starscream attempted to plunder an oil tanker. Starscream met with failure, however, leading Soundwave to withdraw his forces and hint to them that maybe be should have sole command... {{storylink|Divide and Conquer!}} Starscream was aware of Soundwave's goals, and when he was attacked by a group of alien assassins, he suspected that Soundwave had ordered the hit and struck back at him. Soundwave was able to convince Starscream he was not responsible and that in actuality, it was the work of Megatron and Shockwave. {{storylink|External Forces!}}''

''Soon afterward, Soundwave learned that human reporter [[Irwin Spoon]] had secured an interview with the Autobots that could potentially resolve the public view of the Transformer war. Seeking to prevent this, he had the Stunticons capture the journalist. Although the Autobots were able to rescue him, a carefully planted [[cerebro-shell]] ensured that the story Irwin wrote was anything but accurate. {{storylink|End of the Road! (UK issue)|End of the Road!}}''

====Generation 2====
After Megatron reassumed control of the Decepticons, Soundwave served under him in a high-ranking position. Naturally, the first thing he did in that position was ask, "Why revive Starscream?" {{storylink|The Gathering Darkness}} When the [[Cybertronian Empire]] beat the snot out of the Decepticons and Megatron was missing in action, Soundwave led a party to recover their leader, telling those who thought Megatron must be dead to shut up. {{storylink|New Dawn}}

He was in command of the [[Warworld]] while Megatron was on Earth. When the Empire boarded the ship (thanks to Starscream's treachery) he and his bridge crew fled to Earth in escape pods. {{storylink|Total War!}} He was later seen standing by in the final battle against the [[Swarm]]. {{storylink|A Rage in Heaven!}}

[[Image:Cybertronsoundwave.jpg|thumb|left|Before the tape recorder, he was a lamp post. It's hard to take him seriously sometimes.]]

Soundwave served as intelligence officer during the war on Cybertron. He had the questionably useful [[altmode]] of a space-age lamp-post, which allowed him to get as close to Autobot headquarters as the street leading into [[Iacon]]. There, he deployed his chest-dwelling minion [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] who could snoop even closer. Laserbeak overheard talk of the Autobot mission to seek new energy sources off Cybertron, which prompted the Decepticons to intercept and board the ''Ark''. During the fight aboard the ''Ark'' Soundwave easily fought off [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]], [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]] only to be kicked in the back by [[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide.]] He then somehow got up again to be punched in the chest by Ratchet, whom he threw against a console. However, this battle was cut short when the gravity of a primitive planet forced both ships to crash land. 3 million years later in the Earth year of 1984, the Transformers awakened and Soundwave was reformatted into a portable cassette player. He played an essential role in the generation of [[energon cube]]s and the formation of plans for a new space cruiser to return the Decepticons to Cybertron. {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

[[Image:G1 Decepticons hear Soundwave.JPG|thumb|150px|"I told you we should have made Soundwave a television."<br>"Silence, Starscream!"]]

Soundwave's cassette player mode allowed him to dupe a grabby and none-too-questioning [[Spike Witwicky]] into carrying his shrunken form into [[Ark (G1)|Autobot headquarters]], where he was able to deploy Ravage and record information on Earth's most plentiful resources. Though Ravage was captured, Soundwave escaped to report to Megatron. {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 2}} After Ravage returned after being allowed to escape, Soundwave proved his loyalty to Megatron by warning his leader of Starscream's foolish attempt to take his life. During the subsequent battle at the launch site of the space cruiser, Sound deployed several tapes in Operation: Warfare (read: he wanted them to fight the Autobots). Soundwave served as helmsman for the space cruiser on it's remarkably short flight from Earth, and alerted the others to [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]'s intrusion. Implacable in the face of destruction, Soundwave monotonally reported his failure to halt their descent while the rest of the Decepticons totally freaked out. {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

[[Image:RollForIt SoundwavescansChip.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Soundwave performs telepathy for children's birthday parties]]

After the Decepticons established an undersea headquarters, Soundwave fooled the workers of a solar power plant into thinking he was a worker's tape player, even though he wasn't, which begged the question of how he managed to get inside in the first place. {{Storylink|Transport to Oblivion}} After Megatron was seemingly destroyed, he chafed under the command of Starscream, whose inept leadership he was forced to endure. Their first sorte ended in comical defeat that saw Soundwave bowled over by Prowl as he ran away. When Megatron eventually returned in a scheme to steal [[Doctor Alcazar]]'s [[antimatter]] formula, Soundwave happily latched back onto his master. After Alcazar deleted the formula from his own computer, Soundwave used his mind-reading talents to acquire the formula from the brain of [[Chip Chase]]. {{Storylink|Roll for It}}

[[Image:FireontheMountain_SoundwaveMegsgun.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Why bother using Megatron as a weapon when he has that arm cannon?]]

During their mission in the Peruvian Andes to exploit the fabled Incan Crystal of Power, Soundwave and [[Reflector]] were ambushed by [[Brawn]] and [[Windcharger]] in mid-air. Brawn drove Soundwave head first into the side of a mountain. As Soundwave got up, he was knocked over by Brawn who had been blasted by Megatron. He got the Autobot back, though, firing sonic bursts directly into Brawn's head, then going after the Autobot with Megatron's gun mode. {{Storylink|Fire on the Mountain}} Soundwave's mind-reading abilities came into use again when he scanned the brains of [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Slag (G1)|Slag]] and [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] in order to determine their weaknesses. {{Storylink|War of the Dinobots}}

{{quote|I've been waiting a long time for this, you poor excuse for a sound system!|[[Blaster]]}}
{{quote|All talk, no shock.|Soundwave, [[Auto-Bop]]}}

One of Soundwave's most notable misadventures came in 1985, when, operating a plan conceived by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], he brainwashed humans with ultrasonic vibrations inside the Decepticon-built night club [[Dancitron]] in [[New York City]], leading to a confrontation with his Autobot Communications Officer counterpart, [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]. This began a lasting rivalry between the two. {{Storylink|Auto-Bop}}

{{quote|Soundwave superior, Constructicons inferior.|Soundwave on why he is the better candidate, [[The Transformers: The Movie]]}}

In the year 2005, the Autobots had been driven from Cybertron and were now based on their homeworld's moons and on Earth. After scouting from Laserbeak, Megatron concocted a scheme to strike at the heart of Autobot strength by sacking their great fortress of [[Autobot City]]. During [[Battle of Autobot City|the subsequent battle]], Soundwave deployed an array of his cassettes against the Autobot communications array manned by Blaster. Little did he know Blaster had since gathered a group of cassettes of his own, and in any case Soundwave's minions failed to stop the distress signal. Soundwave's loyalty to Megatron was demonstrated when he recovered the seriously damaged Decepticon leader, who'd been left for dead after Optimus Prime defeated him. But while Soundwave was loyal, he was far from stupid, and he kept his mouth shut when Megatron was subsequently ejected into space. Although he did suggest himself as a replacement leader, he again loyally served Megatron when that being returned as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]].{{Storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}

In the year 2006, although operating in a less prominent capacity for most of the time, Soundwave played a prominent role in Galvatron's attempt to learn the secret of a sonic weapon on the planet [[Eurythma]], where sound and music were the way of life, leaving Soundwave entranced by the planet's perfect melodies. Recording each piece of the harmony that formed the devastating sonic effect, Soundwave was defeated when the Eurythmans countered the harmony with white noise, and he was again pulled into a confrontation with Blaster, who erased his recordings. {{Storylink|Carnage in C-Minor}}

[[Image:Madman comic Soundwave ejects tapes.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Bright colours and flashes of light work well with Soundwave.]]

In 2001, Soundwave and his squad of cassettes were deployed to the construction site of [[Autobot City]] while the balance of the Autobot forces were engaged in an evacuation of Cybertron. He managed to record a secret conversation between Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] where the Autobot leaders discussed hiding the [[Autobot Matrix of Leadership]] in a bunker at the build site, against the chance Prime would be captured or destroyed while off-world. Soundwave returned to the not-so-secret bunker and deployed his minions to dig up the Matrix. Just as artifact had been secured and Soundwave was about to call for retrieval, the young Autobot [[Hot Rod]] took the Matrix and defeated Soundwave's team. {{Storylink|Madman Transformers Comic}}

====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' manga====

While Megatron and the Decepticons engaged the Autobots in battle in Arizona, Soundwave and his cassettes were dispatched to do something unspecified (but likely ''evil'') in Tokyo. Optimus Prime dispatched a unit of Autobots led by Bumblebee and [[Kenji]] to track them down. He was ultimately defeated when Bumblebee got the drop on him with a patented "Bumble-Kick" and shattered his chest. This made it impossible for his cassette forces to return to him, leaving them to be captured as well. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 2}} When he next appeared, Soundwave hadn't quite got over his injuries, and was seen with bandages stuck to his chest-window. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers issue 3}}

====''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' story pages====

When Soundwave learned that the Autobots were keeping themselves in shape by having a friendly race, he set up a trap within a narrow canyon, walling the Autobots in and opening fire on them. Luckily, [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] arrived on the scene and delivered a powerful punch to Soundwave's chest, shattering his tape door once again. Soundwave immediately fled.

====''The Headmasters'' anime====

In 2011, the Decepticons were offered a chance to regain control of Cybertron when [[Vector Sigma]] began to destabilize due to the release of the energy of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]. To discover the Autobots' plan of action, Soundwave and his cassettes infiltrated [[Autobot City]]. Although discovered by Blaster and his own cassettes, they escaped with the knowledge that the Matrix was currently missing, and that the Autobots were preparing to search Earth for it. Blaster and [[Hot Rod]] subsequently embarked on a search mission to the Arctic, where Soundwave and his cassettes attacked them. Blaster allowed Hot Rod to escape, and he and Soundwave engaged in a one-on-one battle, with shattered chests and severed limbs aplenty. The two combatants ultimately inflicted fatal damge to one another, and Soundwave's body exploded even as Blaster collapsed. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

The deceased Soundwave's cassettes were able to recover fragments of his body, allowing Decepticon [[Headmaster]] leader [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] to reconstruct him using the planet [[Master (Headmasters)|Master]]'s super-technology. Soundwave was thusly restored to life as '''Soundblaster''', although now black in appearance as opposed to blue. Immediately Soundblaster set to work using his broadcasting powers to direct the Decepticons' latest creation, the [[Madmachine]], in another attack on Cybertron. The science of Master had also restored the Autobot Blaster to life, however, and under the new name "Twincast" he destroyed Soundblaster's sonic control and foiled the Decepticons' plot. {{storylink|Operation Cassette}}

{{note|In the [[RTM 1 dub]], they called him New Soundwave.}}

Soundblaster continued to serve in his role as a spy for the Decepticons, and he and his cassettes would regularly snoop on the Autobots on Cybertron, Earth and [[Athenia]]. Soundblaster and his team were responsible for discovering the Vector Sigma was in the process of creating [[Cybertonuron]], {{storylink|Cybertron is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} but they didn't take kindly to the arrival of the new intelligence officer, [[Counterpunch]], who seemed able to dig up information that they couldn't (because he was actually the Autobot double-agent, Punch). {{storylink|Return of the Immortal Emperor}} Soundblaster was himself specifically responsible for the destruction of planet Mars, acting upon the twisted orders of Scorponok; he readily pressed the button which triggered the detonation of plasma bombs placed at the Martian magnetic poles in accord with Scorponok's scheme. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!, part 2}}

Although rarely doing little more than standing guard and relaying information over large distances (save for one daring instance where he and [[Ratbat]] actually amanged to sneak board Battleship Maximus), Soundblaster was a regular battlefield presence and accompanied the Decepticon army on interplanetary energy raids, voyaged to planet Master, and was present on Earth during the final battle at the North Pole.

====''The Headmasters'' manga====

After their defeat at the North Pole, the Decepticons were preparing to retreat from Earth entirely when Scorponok instructed Soundblaster to remain on the planet in secret to act as a spy for the Decepticons. Soundblaster proved that he wasn't up to the challenge by making his presence and intentions known almost instantly when he kicked [[Wheelie]] square in the face and took the [[Spike Witwicky|Witwicky]] family hostage. [[Chromedome]] was left powerless to do anything but surrender, as [[Slugfest]] and [[Overkill]] brutalized [[Spike Witwicky|Spike]] and threatened [[Carly]]. Daniel finally snapped and beat the living crap out of the two Cassette dinosaurs, leaving Soundblaster open to Chromedome's poorly named "Master-Chrome Hurricane Throw to the End of Hell!" Chromedome chucked Soundblaster over the horizon, where he landed near the rogue Decepticon [[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]]. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8}}

===Kid Stuff Talking Story Books continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' Unknown

In ''[[When Continents Collide]]'', [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] calls Soundwave a "blundering, tape-filled idiot." This is notable because it is hilarious. Also, Soundwave is really, really whiny in these stories.

====''Beast Wars''====
[[Image:BW_Agenda_Pt3_Soundwave.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Soundwave it is, yesss.]]

Soundwave was among the many Transformers strewn about the bridge of the ''Ark'' when the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] infiltrated the ship on his mission to destroy Optimus Prime. {{Storylink|The Agenda, Part 3}}

====3H comics====
Soundwave is one of the ancient warriors who appears from [[J'nwan]] to help battle the warlord [[Shokaract]].

{{-}}
===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Soundwave was chosen by Megatron to lead his second assassination team against the new Autobot supreme Commander, Optimus Prime. With the aid of his cassette troops, most notably Ravage, as well as [[Shrapnel]], [[Bombshell]], and [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]], it was assumed he would have no problem with a young, peace-loving Autobot. Soundwave, like many others, underestimated Prime's resolve and was quickly incapacitated. He recovered quickly enough to rescue Megatron after the latter's own battle with Prime.

In the present day, Soundwave was among the Decepticons who quickly joined Shockwave's forces upon returning to Cybertron. It seems clear, however, that Soundwave had little loyalty to Shockwave, as he readily joined up with Starscream when the [[Seeker]] decided to return to Earth and take over. Though Soundwave feigned subservience to Starscream, it was later revealed that he had been serving Megatron the entire time in secret.

{{ongoing}}

[[Image:MegatronOrigin4_Soundwave_humbles_Ratbat.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"Ratbat, you shall be repurposed as the greatest mix tape ever to be given to Megatron."]]

Long before the war began, Soundwave was the personal assistant to Senator [[Ratbat]]. When [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] caught Ratbat's eye as a champion of the illegal underground gladiatorial matches, Ratbat sent Soundwave to offer Megatron funding and weapons technology. When [[Bumper (G1)|two]] [[Fastback|Autobots]] were discovered listening in on their conversation, Soundwave dispatched Ravage, Buzzsaw, and Laserbeak to capture them. Some time later, Soundwave was assigned to find a warrior with flight capabilities. He found the [[Seeker]]s: Starscream, [[Skywarp]], and [[Thundercracker]]. During a recruitment rally in which Megatron attempted to kill [[Decimus|Senator Decimus]], a raid by the Autobots under [[Sentinel Prime]] resulted in the participants being arrested. Soundwave, however, was freed under [[Senate]] directive, something which greatly angered Sentinel Prime. Soundwave had apparently switched loyalties at this time, becoming one of Megatron's own in not only helping Starscream exterminate [[Kaon]] senators but also to the extent that he destroyed Ratbat's original body, placing his spark into a relatively weak cassette form and thus forcing him into the Decepticons. {{storylink|Megatron Origin}}

Centuries later, after [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] disappeared, Megatron assigned [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] to delve into Shockwave's research and relay all the information back to him. As the Decepticon leader did not fully trust Bludgeon, Megatron also assigned Soundwave to spy on him. Soundwave followed Bludgeon and his team as they left for Earth in 1984 and established a base within Mt. St. Helens, eventually discovering that they intended to resurrect [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. Though Soundwave tried to stop them, [[Iguanus (G1)|Iguanus]] used an experimental cannon from Shockwave's arsenal to lock him in his alt mode while they instigated a volcanic eruption. He was eventually recovered by a team of unwitting humans who sold him to a pawn shop. {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}}

[[Image:SpotlightMirage_Soundwavescorpse.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Not so superior now, are you, Soundwave?]]

Soundwave was purchased by a human teenager and taken to his home. When Ravage and Laserbeak were reprogrammed by the American government agency [[Skywatch]] to find the other Transformers, Skywatch's control signal was blocked by a signal emanating from a functioning Soundwave, still in cassette-player mode. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4}}

In a dream set in an alternate universe wrapped in an enigma surrounded by a soft taco shell dreamt by [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]], Soundwave was part of the Decepticon strike force who attacked the last stronghold of the Autobots. Soundwave was attacked by [[Hound (G1)|Hound]], who snapped his head off, killing him. But it was just a dream, so it didn't matter. Right? {{Storylink|Spotlight: Mirage}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Soundwave''' (Decepticon, 1984/1985, 2003, 2007)
:* ''Japanese ID number:'' '''17''', '''TFC-10'''

[[Image:G1Soundwave_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Soundwave superior. 'Nuf said.]]

: Soundwave transforms into a realistically sized microcassette recorder of indeterminate manufacture and includes weapons that turn into imitation batteries to power his nonexistent circuitry. [[Takara]]'s release of Soundwave in the ''[[Transformers]]'' line was nearly identical to the ''[[Microchange]]'' "MC-10 Cassette Man" toy on which he was based. This meant that along with being packaged with [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] (previously a red "MC-01 Micross"), he came with a set of non-functioning headphones that allowed you not to listen to the silence not recorded on his non-functioning tapes with the non-functioning microphone. [[Hasbro]] packaged Soundwave with [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]] rather than Rumble and omitted the other non-functioning accessories.

: Soundwave was included in the VS-Y versus pack along with Rumble and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]].

: For 2003, Soundwave was reissued as part of Takara's [[Transformers Collection]] "book-box" series. This iteration of Soundwave came packaged with [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]].

: Another reissue of Soundwave and Laserbeak was seen in 2007 with Takara's [[Transformers Encore]] series.

{{-}}
*'''Soundblaster''' (Decepticon, 1987, 2005)
:*''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-101''', '''TFC-18'''

[[Image:G1Soundblaster_toy.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Once you go black, you can never go b—]]

: As part of the Japanese ''[[Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]]'' series, Soundwave was [[redeco]]ed and [[retool]]ed so that he could hold two Cassettes in his chest at once. Soundblaster's tape door was cast in transparent red plastic to allow the information on the "readout" decal, unique to the ''Headmasters'' decos of the cassettes, to be seen, functioning in the same manner as the Tech Specs decoders. The readouts of the Decepticon cassettes showed the "weak points" of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. Soundblaster came packaged with Buzzsaw.

: Soundblaster saw reissue in the Transformers Collection series in 2005, packaged together with Buzzsaw and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]].

:This mold was used for all future reissues of Soundwave, since the original Soundwave mold is broken, they mostly just have a single tape door to let it look more like Soundwave, jet they still feature the more exposed buttons on the bottom of Soundvave's chest door.
{{-}}
*'''Soundwave with Wingthing''' (Action Master, 1990)

[[Image:G1_ActionMaster_Soundwave_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|—uh, never mind.]]

: [[Action Master]] Soundwave is a non-transforming action figure which combines elements of his cartoon model and original toy. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle. He came packaged with his new partner, [[Wingthing]].
{{-}}

===Generation 2===
*'''Soundwave''' (Go-Bot, 1995)

[[Image:G2_Gobot_Soundwave_toy.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The goggles, they do nothing.]]

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Gearhead]], Soundwave transforms into a Ford Thunderbird stock car with precision wheels and wire axles, compatible with "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" playsets and tracks (which he was properly sized to fit).

: Notably, his color scheme is very '''loud''', being bright shades of fluorescent yellow, pink and blue. This is one time fans can actually get away with describing a toy's color scheme as [[neon]].

{{-}}

===Machine Wars===
*'''Soundwave''' (Mega, 1997)

[[Image:MW_Soundwave_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Not my scene, baby!]]

: ''[[Machine Wars]]'' Soundwave was a [[redeco]] of the [[Predator]] [[Stalker]] minus Stalker's handgun and its missiles and with the sighting gimmick having been removed from the missile. In this incarnation, Soundwave transforms into tracked missile carrier.

{{-}}

===Smallest Transforming Transformers===
*'''Soundwave and Ravage''' (2003)

[[Image:SmallestTF_Soundwave_toy.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Small in size. Big in taste!]]

: Like all of the ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'', this version of Soundwave is a tiny replica of his G1 form. He came with ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' Ravage, who is probably ''the'' smallest Transformer ever.

{{-}}

===Universe===
*'''Soundwave & Space Case''' (Ultra, 2004)

[[Image:Universe_Soundwave&Space-Case_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Soundwave: superior. Space Case: inferior.]]

: The ''Machine Wars'' version of Soundwave was redecoed for release in the ''[[Universe]]'' line in an Ultra-level two-pack with [[Space Case]]. Due to the lack of fiction, it is ''possible'' that this incarnation is in fact an alternate-universe version of Soundwave, or possibly a new character altogether.

{{-}}
===Titanium series===
*'''Soundwave''' (6" Cybertron Heroes, 2006)

[[Image:Titanium_CybHeroes_Soundwave_toy.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Steel Band]]

: A new representation of his G1 form, this Soundwave transforms into a slightly redesigned version of his original microcassette player mode. He also comes with a VERY tiny Laserbeak that transforms into a black rectangle vaguely resembling a microcassette and is almost (but not quite) as small as ''Smallest TF'' Ravage. He can also fit inside of Soundwave's chest. Both of Soundwave's guns resemble batteries and fit into the battery compartment on his back. Some fans have complained that oddly-shaped crotch area makes it look like Soundwave is wearing a diaper, and that poor leg engineering makes it impossible for them to stay extended, and as a result unable to stand up (much like a baby). [http://www.reprolabels.com/Misc/babywave.asp Reprolabels.com] took advantage of this realization with a custom sticker set.

: This mold was to be redecoed as Soundblaster with a new Ravage tape partner, but was not released due to the cancellation of the line.

===Classics===
*'''Soundwave''' (Commemorative Edition, 2007)

[[Image:Classics_Commemorative_Soundwave_toy.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ravage, Laserbeak: Eject. Operation: Reissue.]]

: Despite having packaging that claims ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' Soundwave is "identical to the original toy," this version is actually a redeco of the [[Transformers Collection]] Sound''blaster'' reissue in Soundwave's original colors. This is presumably due to reported mold degradation on the cassette door of the Soundwave mold. While later releases such as the [[Transformers Encore]] edition would feature a single-cassette bay, it is noteworthy that this release featured the much more rarely used Cassetteman version of the door mold. Like the Soundblaster reissue, ''Classics'' Soundwave is packaged with "Battle" Ravage, as well as Laserbeak, recolored from Soundblaster's Buzzsaw. In a move rare for a US release of this toy, the set included two [[Takara]] clear-plastic cassette cases. Exclusive to Toys 'R' Us stores, Soundwave had been intended for the [[Commemorative Series]], but after the cancellation of that line, he was added to ''Classics'', although the phrase "Commemorative Edition" is prominently displayed on the front and sides of the box.

{{note|It is interesting to note that while the actual product uses the Soundblaster mold, the package photos show Soundwave with the single-tape door mold used for Takara's TFC-10 reissue.}}

===Music Label===
*'''Soundwave Playing Audio Player''' (2007)
[[Image:Music label soundwave.jpg|right|thumb|150px|SOUNDWAVE: SUPERIOR. ALL OTHER MUSIC PLAYERS: INFERIOR.]]

: Released by [[TakaraTomy]]'s Music Label (which also puts out a not-half-as-cool [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys#Transformers Music Label|Convoy iPod stand]]), Soundwave is an MP3 player which takes a miniSD card. The box says it can take up to 1 GB, but many claims have shown it can support up to 2 GB. The player uses 1 AAA battery. An optional accessory, sold separately, features headphones that transform into [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]]. The player also features a transformation almost entirely accurate to his G1 appearance. He also comes with two sets of hands, his shoulder cannon, and a sidearm.

: '''Controls'''
:* Play/Pause (Press and hold for three seconds to power on or off)
:* Next
:* Previous
:* Volume Up
:* Volume Down.

: It also treats Folders as Albums

: An LED behind the "cassette" door turns on and flashes to indicate the power's on. The single AAA battery lasts for about 6 hours of continuous play. Soundwave was initially released in two color schemes: "Spark Blue", his normal blue and silver colors; and "Sonic White", a mostly white color scheme with some blue detailing, echoing the traditional iPod color scheme. The "Sonic White" version of Soundwave is used to portray ''[[Shattered Glass]]'' [[Soundwave (Timelines)|Soundwave]] in the [[Shattered Glass (comic)|comic]]. While the "Spark Blue" version reappeared in a second production run, the "Sonic White" version was replaced with "Blaster Black". In this deco, the figure bears a deliberate resemblance to Soundblaster. However, the packaging and other materials still refer to it as "Soundwave".

===Unreleased===
:In ''Generation 2'', a [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Pig]] was planned as Soundwave, but ultimately never released, one of many planned redecos that never made it. Some packaged samples do exist.
{{-}}

==Merchandise==
===Transformers - Mini Bust===
[[Image:Soundwave_statue.jpg|thumb|right|150px|An elegant but succinct summation.]]
* '''Soundwave''' (Diamond Select, 2007)
Released by Diamond Select Toys in 2007, Soundwave was sculpted by Mark Wong of Art Asylum and limited to 1,000 pieces. The sculpt features both his concussion blaster gun and shoulder cannon with Laserbeak perched on his left shoulder. His tape deck altmode is sculpted on the base of the bust.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* According to an interview in the magazine ''Otaku USA'' (issue 3, pg. 102-3), the original Microchange toy and the accompanying cassettes were at least partially designed by famed mecha designer and anime director [[Shinji Aramaki]]. He did not come up with the transformation scheme, but designed most of the outward appearance and details. He also worked on the toys that became the deluxe [[Insecticon]]s, [[Reflector]], and [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]].

* Including the ''[[Microchange]]'' "Cassette Man" version, the original Soundwave mold has sported at least four different tape doors:
** The original MC-10 version had a cassette door that had "Cassette Man" emblazoned on it and featured a hinge that was internal to the robot's body.
** For the initial ''Transformers'' release by Hasbro, the "Cassette Man" text was removed.
** When Takara's Soundwave was released, the hinge was remolded so the bottom of the door attached to the outside of the robot, on either side of the "buttons", which had also been remolded.
** The Soundblaster version had a door that retained the external hinge and added the capacity for holding a second cassette.

[[Image:Soundwavecommercial.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Say hello to my leetle friend!]]

* Though Soundwave's toy is a microcassette recorder, his fictional appearances depict him as a stereo cassette deck or Walkman. (Likewise, his microcassette tapes are depicted as regular audio cassettes.)

* Animation from early ''Transformers'' commercials featured a Soundwave model colored in very light blue, versus the dark blue used later. Also, instead of the cassettes ejecting themselves from his chest, he reached into his chest compartment with his own fingers and threw the (tiny) tapes into the air.

[[Image:Soundwave_fly.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Hey, wait for me!]]

* Soundwave's distinctive voice proved to be one of G1's most memorable aspects. The [[wikipedia:Vocoder|highly processed voice]] began with [[Frank Welker]] basically doing his Dr. Claw voice. Whether due to variations in the performance or the processing, the final result varied quite a bit across Soundwave's three seasons on the show. Occasionally, as in the episodes "[[Roll For It]]" and "[[Webworld]]", the processing was left out and Welker's actual voice can be heard.

* Soundwave has flown in his [[alt mode]] one time, in the episode "[[Masquerade]]".

* The Marvel US comics chose a purple scheme for Soundwave. This could have been an error, an early look for him that was dropped in other media, or perhaps an attempt to distinguish him from the other Decepticons, who were mostly blue (especially since blacks also ended up as blues in the industry's then-limited color palette). He was also sometimes shown without a faceplate. The Marvel UK comics colored him blue like everywhere else (partially due to using a more sophisticated colouring system) and always included his faceplate.

[[Image:Bm soundwave.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Soundwave gets [[slag (slang)|slagged]] by Vehicons, and Nightscream escapes. How's that for injustice?]]

* Soundwave's computer model was used for one of the [[generic]] Transformers in ''Beast Machines''. It is seen in [[Nightscream]]'s flashback being cornered by [[Vehicon]] drones just before Nightscream flees into the lower levels of Cybertron. Though the model was recolored, it was still really <span title="This may not be an actual word" style="cursor:help;">'Soundwavey,'</span> causing much confusion among fans. {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}}

* Later, Soundwave's character model showed up numerous times in various color schemes as a generic background character in [[Armada (cartoon)|Armada]].

* [[Sideways]] listened to music using a tape deck resembling Soundwave in the [[Cybertron (cartoon)|Cybertron]] cartoon. Later, after a new [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] was found, ''Cybertron'' [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] held tape deck Soundwave in his arms.

* In the Japanese dub of the [[Generation 1 (television series)|Generation 1 cartoon]] as well as the [[manga]], all of Soundwave's cassette forces which could talk referred to him as "big brother". It should probably be noted, though, that this is a fairly common way to refer to others you admire and such in Japanese. It's also a term that gang members use toward older, more experienced members who aren't actual gang bosses. Take it as you will. Whatever it says about his relationship with them, it does give new meaning to the phrase [[Wikipedia:Big Brother (Nineteen Eighty-Four)|"Big Brother is watching over you"]].

* If you look closely, his head resembles the Decepticon insignia.

[[Image:Classics Soundwave.jpg|thumb| 200pxl|right|Soundwave Superior, Pimp My Ride ''Inferior''!]]
*[[Don Figueroa]] made a concept drawing of what should have been Classics Soundwave. The design was canceled, but seems to have [[Ironhide (G1)#Universe 2008|inspired]] [[Soundwave (Animated)|other]] [[Stockade (Movie)|toys]].

*He was one of the original charaters for the [[Transformers (2007)]] film. He is now confirmed as a charater in [[Transformers 2]]

Laserbeak (G1)

Spongezilla: /* Trivia */

{{picsneeded|Toy and cassette mode}}

{{Template:Disambig3|Laserbeak}}
:''Laserbeak is a [[Decepticon]] and a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]]. He is also known as a tinfoil turkey.''

[[Image:Laserbeak-calendar.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Recognizable as the one who does not cannon-blast Omega Supreme.]]
'''Laserbeak''' is a follower, not a leader. In fact, he can often be found perched atop the shoulders of either [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] or whoever leads the Decepticons at a particular time. He can be utterly depended on to complete any mission that he is assigned.

Laserbeak is also an interrogator, though he is rarely depicted in that role, more often seen (or rather not seen) as a spy, roosting on some obscure perch, playing voyeur and eavesdropping on Autobot conversations. His backpack features two ruby-powered independently-targetable lasers that he uses to torture his subjects with. He's a coward, though, and when his ruby supplies run low, he transforms from ruthless condor to squawking chicken.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
====Generation 1====
[[Image:Laserbeakwarriorschool.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Laserbeak is Soundwave's bitch.]]
Laserbeak was among [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s attack party which attacked the [[Autobot]]s aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', crashing on [[Earth]] 4 million years ago. When the Autobots and Decepticons were revived in 1984, Laserbeak was given the [[alternate mode]] of a red cassette tape. He aided the Decepticons in their building of their new base, constructed of parts from [[Harrison Nuclear Power Plant]], and joined in their attack on [[Sparkplug Witwicky]]'s auto repair shop, where he got shot in the face by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].

Though Laserbeak can speak, he stopped displaying this ability around the time that [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] arrived to reverse the Autobots' seemingly final victory over the Decepticons in a desperate last stand at the ''Ark''. During Shockwave's rule, he sent [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] (with Laserbeak stowed) to infiltrate [[Blackrock Aerospace Plant Number One]], where they were carried inside in cassette deck mode by plant workers [[Ferdy and Gabe]]. Once inside, the two quickly sieged the plant's controls and enslaved its workers. {{storylink|Warrior School!}} Laserbeak served many functions during the Decepticons' occupation of this plant, such as squawking, heating up the workers' pizzas, and delivering recorded messages to the [[human]] military poised outside. {{storylink|Brainstorm!}} Laserbeak later accompanied Soundwave and a few of the other cassette-tape Decepticons to aid their impostor Optimus Prime's ambush of the Autobots, though all of them were easily defeated once the real Optimus Prime was restored. {{storylink|Prime Time!}}
[[Image:Laserbeakdeterminescommand.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Autobots pass the Matrix, Decepticons pass the Laserbeak.]]
Unlike the [[Seeker]]s, Soundwave, Laserbeak, and the other animal cassettes remained more loyal to Megatron than to Shockwave, and so when the former [[Decepticon leader]] was discovered in a coal mine, they arrived swiftly to refuel and reclaim him. {{storylink|I, Robot-Master!}} One of Megatron's first acts upon returning to the Decepticons was to attack the ''Ark'' while seemingly all of the Autobots were attacking the Decepticon base, and he took the the Seekers and all of the cassette Decepticons (minus Ravage) with him. Unfortunately, the ''Ark'' was now defended by the newly-built [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]. All of the attacking Decepticons except for Laserbeak and Megatron were obliterated, and it was only thanks to the wounded Laserbeak that he and the Decepticon leader escaped with their lives. When they returned to the Decepticon base, Laserbeak perched not on Megatron's shoulder, but Shockwave's, silently acknowledging their true leader. Shockwave rebuked Megatron for his poor command, but Megatron surprised him with a rationalization for his actions. As Shockwave again submitted to Megatron's leadership, Laserbeak exchanged perching positions, signifying the transfer of command. {{storylink|Command Performances!}}

[[Image:Jetfireyourehit.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The bitch hierarchy: Soundwave > Laserbeak > Jetfire]]Years later, after [[Ratbat]] had assumed command in the absence of both Megatron and Soundwave, the Decepticons ambushed the Autobots on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] while [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Blaster]] were dueling for leadership. Laserbeak counted among his victories [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], but he and the others were called back to their ship to retreat once Blaster and Grimlock disabled its guidance systems. {{storylink|Totalled!}}

Ratbat's troops soon met up with [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok's]] troops, which resulted in a Decepticon civil war. Laserbeak and the others were called off the attack, however, when it was revealed that the civil war was instigated by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] to divert attentions away from his grab for the [[Underbase]]. After a false start, an unprecedented Autobot/Decepticon alliance was formed to stop Starscream, and Laserbeak was assigned to a team headed by both [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and Soundwave. Confronting the Underbase-enhanced Starscream in [[Tokyo]], Laserbeak met his doom. {{storylink|Dark Star!}}

In 2009, one possible future saw the Decepticons with control over all of [[North America]] and only a handful of Autobots and humans to oppose them. During a last-ditch Autobot/human raid on their [[New York]] stronghold, Laserbeak was instrumental in diverting [[Crossblades]], first disabling the Autobot and then ordering his comrades to blow him out of the sky. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

====Classics====

When Megatron reactivated on Earth and began building a power base again, Soundwave naturally returned to his side, and Laserbeak naturally came with him. {{storylink|Crossing Over, Part 3}}

===Cartoon continuity===
:''Voice Actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] (US), [[Ken Yamaguchi]] (Japan)
[[Image:cybertronlaserbeak.jpg|thumb|Lasers? Check. Beak? Check.]]
Laserbeak was the first of the cassette Transformers<ref>[[Secret Files of Teletraan II]]</ref>. Prior to his arrival on Earth, Laserbeak had less of an avian shape, resembling instead a stylized jet with an ovoid silhouette and a hooked nosecone. He still transformed into a cassette, which is kind of strange when you consider his "carrier" transformed into a lamp-post and not necessarily any device that played cassettes. But anyway, this Laserbeak often carried out spy missions, able to sneak into places the larger [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] could not manage, including Iacon, the Autobots headquarters. There, Laserbeak learned of the Autobot mission to seek out new sources of energy away from Cybertron, which prompted a Decepticon interception mission in turn. This led to the whole lot of these spacefaring Transformers crashlanding on Earth and taking a four million-year dirtnap in the heart of a spastic volcano.

In the year 1984, the Transformers were awakened by volcanic activity, and Laserbeak was reformatted with terrestrial aesthetics in both robot and alt-mode. His alt-mode was an audiocassette, while his robot mode was that of a vulture. His missions, though, were largely unchanged, and he continued to serve as a spy.

Laserbeak was the first Decepticon to tangle with Autobots on Earth when he was dispatched by Soundwave and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] to chase down to snooping Autobot spies, [[Hound (G1)|Hound]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]. The Autobots tried to scurry away, splitting up so that Laserbeak couldn't follow both of them. He had the last laugh (or squawk) on them, as he launched one of his laser cannons to follow Cliffjumper remotely while he continued to hound Hound, at least until Cliffjumper gas-bombed it. {{storylink|More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

[[Image:Megslaserbeak.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Laserbeak, symbol of Decepticon leadership.]]
After Megatron was accidently sent to Cybertron following an early [[space bridge]] test {{storylink|Transport to Oblivion}} Laserbeak and [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]] were present to greet Megatron on his return. Laserbeak perched on Megatron's arm, signifying Megatron's resumption of command of the Earthbound Decepticons. {{storylink|Roll For It}}

On a later assignment, Laserbeak investigated the prognosis of an ailing Optimus Prime and took the opportunity to blast the fallen leader in his open chest cavity. This exacerbated the damage and made the Autobot mission to find a replacement [[cosmotron]] for Prime of great priority. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer}}

One of Laserbeak's greatest claims to fame was that he was partly responsible for the [[Battle of Autobot City]] in 2005. By that point, the Decepticons had succeeded in conquering Cybertron, but the Autobots retained two of its moons and a large force on [[Autobot City]]. Laserbeak was dispatched to spy on [[Moonbase One]], where he overhead Optimus Prime order a supply ship to acquire [[Energon]] for an upcoming assault. Laserbeak took the information back to Megatron, who hijacked the shuttle and used it to attack Autobot City. Megatron was left to rot in space by Starscream, and reformatted into [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. However, Laserbeak was no longer able to perch on his leader's shoulder or arm. Also, that beauracrat [[Ratbat]] was usually sent on the spying missions after this point. Laserbeak has been feeling unfulfilled ever since. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie (1986)|Transformers: The Movie}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
After [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] became the new [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]], Laserbeak did a spying mission, where he saw the Autobots preparing starships for evacuation. Megatron was unconcerned, however, as he had other plans. Unfortunately, Starscream shot a bridge holding Megatron and Prime, sending them to their presumed destruction. Laserbeak was then manhandled by Starscream's personal henchmen and had all the information within him forcibly downloaded, all at Starscream's orders. This is why Starscream will never be Decepticon leader, as he doesn't know how to get Laserbeak to perch on him. {{storylink|The War Within}} Megatron eventually returned and put Starscream in his place. Sometime later, Megatron vanished in a [[Space Bridge]] accident, and control of the Decepticons split into several smaller factions. Laserbeak and the other Cassettes remained with Soundwave, under the command of Shockwave in the primary Decepticon faction. {{storylink|The War Within: The Dark Ages}}

After the crash of the ''Nemesis'', Laserbeak was reactivated on Earth in 1984 and fought alongside the Decepticons in that pocket version of the greater war. Believed dead after the explosion of the ''[[Ark II]]'', Laserbeak and most of the other Transformers were in fact salvaged and reprogrammed by the human named [[Lazarus]]. The remote-controlled Laserbeak was sent on a mission of destruction with several other Cybertronians before Megatron broke free and restored autonomous control to his Decepticon brethren. {{storylink|Prime Directive}} When Shockwave later arrived on Earth and defeated Megatron, Soundwave allied himself and the Cassettes with Shockwave until they returned to Cybertron. At that point, Starscream made a proposal that they return to Earth (now virtually free of Autobots) and take control of its fuel resources. {{storylink|War and Peace}} Soundwave agreed, and he brought Laserbeak and the others Cassettes back with them to Earth. After briefly tolerating Screamer's leadership, Megatron mercifully returned and reassumed control of Laserbeak and the Decepticon forces on Earth. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

===Devil's Due ''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers'' comics continuity===
Laserbeak was one of the many Transformers recovered from the crashed ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' by [[Cobra]]. He was repaired and retrofitted by [[Doctor Mindbender]], who proudly displayed him, Soundwave, and his fellow Mini-Cassettes to [[Destro]]. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 2|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #2}} Laserbeak was released by Soundwave, along with [[Rumble (G1)|Rumble]], [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]], [[Ratbat]], and [[Ravage]], during an attack on the [[SPS Center]]. Laserbeak managed to escape the first wave of [[G.I. Joe]] defenders and enter the building, gunning down [[Gung-Ho (G.I. Joe)|Gung-Ho]] and [[Clutch (G.I. Joe)|Clutch]]. Shortly afterwards, he was decapitated by [[Snake-Eyes]]. His body was taken into custody by the Joes. {{storylink|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers issue 3|G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers #3}}

===The Beast Within===
When the [[Beast]] formed, Starscream ordered the [[Seeker]]s to attack the behemoth. Laserbeak, thinking that he was a Seeker, joined them, and was smacked along with [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]], blowing up as a result. He blew up real good. {{storylink|The Beast Within}}

===IDW comics continuity===
{{ongoing}}
Long ago on Cybertron, Laserbeak helped Soundwave expose some spies for Megatron and assisted in executing the Senate members in [[Kaon]]. {{storylink|Megatron Origin}}

Much later, Laserbeak was employed by Soundwave to remotely spy on [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] in 1984 but was knocked out in the skirmish. He was later buried by a volcanic eruption, but dug out a year later by a mysterious group of humans. {{storylink|Spotlight: Soundwave}} He was chained up in the [[Skywatch]] headquarters along with [[Ravage]] and reprogrammed to seek out the other Transformers. Needless to say, he was very pissed. {{storylink|Escalation issue 6}}

On his first mission out with Ravage, however, the pair's signal from Skywatch was blocked by Soundwave. {{storylink|Devastation issue 4}}

===''Timelines:Dawn of Future's Past''===
[[Image:Laserbeakbuzzsawdawn.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Iron birds of fortune.]]
At the end of the great war most Decepticons granted amnesty simply retired and vanished from public life. So too would have been the fate of Laserbeak if not for the intervention of the [[Predacon (G1) | Predacon]] [[Divebomb (G1) | Divebomb ]]. Divebomb granted Laserbeak, [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], and [[Ravage]] a new lease on life, rebuilding them into members of the new faction of Predacons.

Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s theft of the [[Golden Disk]] was closely watched by Divebomb, who sent Laserbeak and Buzzsaw to ensure Megatron and his rogues reached their destination. Their ship intercepted the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', pummelling it with missiles. Before it could come back for another pass, it was fired upon by the ''[[Chromia 10]]'', giving the ''Axalon'' enough time to restore enough power to return fire and completely destroy Laserbeak and Buzzsaw's ship, with the pair inside. He's in the [[Allspark]] now, trying to perch on [[Primus]]' shoulder. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Frenzy & Laserbeak''' (Cassette 2-pack, 1984/1985)

: Originally a ''[[Microchange]]'' "Micro Cassette Robo Condor", Laserbeak transforms into a microcassette that can fit into the tape door of the [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] and [[Blaster]] toys. He was released in a two-pack with [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] in the US and Europe. His chromed thruster-blaster add-ons have some slight mold variations to them, like several other early ''Transformers'' toys.

: This mold was also used to make [[Buzzsaw (G1)|Buzzsaw]], [[Garboil]] and [[Sundor]].

*'''Condor''' (Cassettron, 1985/1986/1987)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''20''', '''D-60''', '''D-105'''

: Laserbeak (AKA "Condor") was available by himself in Japan. Like all Japanese cassettes, he came with a clear tape case to be "stored" in. He was re-released in Japan in 1986, and again in 1987.

*'''Soundwave''' (Decepticon, 2003)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''TFC-10'''

: Laserbeak was reissued along side Soundwave in 2003.

===Titanium Series===
*'''Soundwave''' (6"
: Among the smallest of all Transformers, this toy is a tiny 1" wide rendition of his cassette form, though without the holes normally seen on tapes. Like the larger Soundwave figure he comes with, his design deviates somewhat from his true design, instead being black with red stripes. He also does not come with his jet pack.

===Timelines===
*'''Laserbeak''' and '''Buzzsaw''' (Souvenir set, 2006)

: A [[redeco]] of the ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] [[Divebomb (Energon)|Divebomb]], Laserbeak transforms from a humanoid robot to a robotic bird of prey. He came with a pair of clear-blue blades that can combine to form a large [[energon weapon]], plus a blue Decepticon-style [[energon chip]]. He was available only as a poly-bagged set with his mold-mate Buzzsaw, sold as an "at the show" souvenir set at [[BotCon 2006]], limited to 500 pieces.

: This mold was also used to make the Terrorcon [[Blackout (Terrorcon)|Blackout]].

===Attacktix===
*'''Laserbeak'''

==Trivia==
* Though Laserbeak is portrayed as a normal audio cassette in the various fictions, his original toy was a microcassette. (Likewise, Soundwave's toy was a microcassette recorder, rather than the "stereo cassette deck" he's stated to be elsewhere.)

* Laserbeak snores when he sleeps. It sounds just like a little chainsaw! <small>(so cute!)</small> {{storylink|Decepticon Poison}}

* It's possible that ''Beast Wars'' [[Lazorbeak]] was intended to be a new form for Laserbeak. Lazorbeak's on-package [[bio]] reads, "Lazorbeak upholds his motto of believing the only good point he likes about the Maximals is their melting point," a reference to Laserbeak's original motto. Also, both use laser weapons which frequently run out of energy.

* Laserbeak is possibly the most effective Decepticon in the entire G1 cartoon. Some of his shining moments include defeating Optimus Prime himself ("[[A Prime Problem]]"), shooting Starscream out of the air ("A Prime Problem"), and chasing down both Hound and Cliffjumper, defeating Hound and leaving Cliffjumper to seek help. He also managed to infiltrate Autobot HQ multiple times, and the information he gathered was often central to Megatron's plans.

* Laserbeak was part of the original Decepticon cast for the [[Transformers (2007)|2007 Transformers movie]], but was cut along with Ravage when Soundwave was removed. As part of the [[Sector Seven]] ARG, a "file" of confirmed [[N.B.E.]] activity has Laserbeak changing from cassette mode to robot mode (while remaining the same size). He is now part for [[Transformers 2]]
