Hey, sucka! '''Jazz''' pities the fool, thug, or soul who won't join [[Optimus Prime (SG)|Optimus Prime]] in taking over the world. He is the best bodyguard, because he'll take a bullet, he'll take a stab wound, he'll take a hit upside the head; he's like a Kamikaze pilot. There ain't no other like him, except maybe his brother [[Ricochet (SG)|Ricochet]], and the two guard Prime from chumps. They treat him right.

Optimus Prime has pitied Jazz ever since intercepted transmissions from [[Earth]] influenced his behavior, but he lets Jazz continue so long as he keeps busting up crazy fools.

==Fiction==
===Shattered Expectations===
[[File:JazzSGShatteredExpectations.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4]]
Jazz was partnered with [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]] and [[Grimlock (SG)|Grimlock]] in searching for the Decepticon [[Pretender]] technology. After being chastised by Goldbug for "not sticking to the plan", he succeeded in ''finding the light switch'', thus discovering the Decepticon lab containing the Pretender shells, only for [[Starscream (SG)|Starscream]] and [[Razorclaw (SG)|Razorclaw]] to appear out of nowhere. Jazz expressed genuine surprise at seeing one of the Predacons, as he believed that they had been destroyed by a shrink ray.

The Decepticon duo were then defeated by Grimlock, and victory seemed inevitable, with no one able to stop them.

Except the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]]. {{storylink|Shattered Expectations (SG)|Shattered Expectations}}

[[File:Iaintgettinbombedbynoplane.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|Don't make me mad, Arrr!]]
Jazz was overseeing the [[smelting pool]] when Optimus Prime and [[Rodimus (SG)|Rodimus]] brought [[Cliffjumper (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Cliffjumper]] to [[Great Dome|Iacon]]. When Cliffjumper questioned their cruel ways and Prime shot him in retaliation, Jazz joined the others in laughing at his misfortune.

Cliffjumper returned later with the [[Decepticon]] forces in a desperate strike against the ''[[Ark (SG)|Ark]]'', and his [[glass gas]] bombs were dropped from jets overhead Jazz and [[Blurr (SG)|Blurr]]. Jazz told Blurr to get out of his way, 'cuz he ain't gettin' bombed by no plane!

Jazz survived long enough to join Optimus Prime's counteroffensive. {{storylink|Shattered Glass (issue)|Shattered Glass}}

Jazz and Goldbug were part of the elite Autobots chosen to capture the scattered [[Dinobot (SG)|Dinobots]]. They succeeded in tracking [[Swoop (SG)|Swoop]] to an abandoned observation tower, where they were joined by Rodimus and Blurr. Jazz wanted to just shoot the "flying monster" and be done with it, but Goldbug pointed out that Prime wanted it alive. The Seekers then chose Jazz to climb the tower and retrieve the Dinobot. He wasn't too happy about it.

Swoop thought the visit from Jazz was the best thing ever, and happily took his "new friend" for a joyride clasped in his claws, much to Jazz's extreme dismay. Goldbug ended up getting Jazz down by shooting Swoop's wing, causing them both to fall to the ground. Swoop was overjoyed that Jazz had broken his fall, saying he loved his new friend for doing that. A squished Jazz told Swoop to shut up and groaned that he hated everybody at that moment. {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

Some time later, as the rebuilt ''Ark'' was being readied for departure, Jazz made the mistake of alerting Optimus Prime to Ricochet's scheme. Prime was livid that Ricochet would dare take the honor of capturing [[Megatron (SG)|Megatron]] away from him. Prime manhandled Jazz while the bodyguard explained, then threw him across the room before leaving. {{storylink|Do Over}}

Jazz was an early convert to Orion Pax's Autobot movement. As a member of Orion's inner cadre, he attended a meeting with [[Jetfire (SG)|Jetfire]] to discuss reactivating the dormant [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Metroplex (SG)|Metroplex]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 3|Shattered Glass #3}}

During the Great War, Jazz travelled to Earth alongside Optimus Prime and took part in the final battle against the Decepticons; once Megatron fell and Starscream led the remaining Decepticons into a retreat, Jazz helped his leader lay waste to Earth before returning to Cybertron. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 2|Shattered Glass #2}}

At some point after the end of the war, Jazz sided with [[Goldbug (SG)|Goldbug]] and [[Prowl (SG)|Prowl]] during their failed attempt to overthrow Optimus and eventually relocated to Goldbug's capital of [[Gold City]]. During Megatron's invasion of the city, he faced off against [[Reflector (SG)|Reflector]]. {{storylink|Shattered Glass issue 5|Shattered Glass #5}}

: Part of [[BotCon 2008]]'s [[exclusive]] box set of five figures, Jazz is a [[retool]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Crosswise (Cybertron)#Toys|Crosswise]] with a new head sculpt and color scheme based on [[Jazz (G1)|Generation 1 Jazz]], though with altered text, most notably replacing "MARTINI" with "MASSACRE". He transforms into a {{w|Bugatti Veyron}} mid-engine sports car. Plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into his tailgate (his is a smoky-gray [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]-style Autobot key with black border and purple symbol) makes a pair of missile racks pop up from the engine bay and flip over onto his roof, which are also available in robot mode as shoulder-mounted weapons. His car mode's rear panels and running boards can swing forward to become hip-mounted (non-firing) blasters.

:Jazz is only available as part of a set of six toys, along with [[Optimus Prime (SG)#Toys|Optimus Prime]], [[Grimlock (SG)#Toys|Grimlock]], [[Goldbug (SG)#Toys|Goldbug]], [[Razorclaw (SG)#Toys|Razorclaw]], and [[Starscream (SG)#Toys|Starscream]].

:This mold was also used to make ''Shattered Glass'' [[Ricochet (SG)#Toys|Ricochet]], ''Cybertron'' [[Smokescreen (Cybertron)#Cybertron|Smokescreen]] and the [[Transformers (2007 franchise)|live-action movie-continuity]] [[Jolt (Movie)#Toys|Jolt]].

==Notes==
* Unlike most characters depicted in the ''Shattered Glass'' universe, Jazz's design does not significantly differ from his positive-polarity self, retaining most of the latter's recognizeable design and color cues. The most significant difference seen is Jazz's visor is occasionally depicted as being colored red as opposed to the original's blue.
* In case you've gotten this far without noticing, Jazz's speech is styled after {{w|Mr. T}}'s. This idea was originally part of the [[April Fools' Day]] "[[Shattered Expectations (SG)|Shattered Expectations]]" comic, but when the prank proved amazingly popular, dialog adjustments were made to the [[Shattered Glass (issue)|real comic]] accordingly. Moreover, he seems to suffer from a fear of flying like Mr. T's character, B. A. Baracus in the ''A-Team''.
* Jazz's appearance in [[IDW Publishing]]'s comic series is modeled on the ''[[Studio Series]]'' Deluxe Class [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Studio Series|Jazz]] toy.

StormJet:

A Transformers fan since the Beast Wars era. Doesn't like Repowers, abates, and Escargon, but doesn't let those gear-grinders get in my way. Currently doing research on the Transformers DS & PSP games as much as I can (completed as much as i could long time ago), and gathering as much information on the now shut down Transformers Universe (did what I can), and enemy soldiers from the Bayformers & Cybertron games from Activision (via datamining).

==TFU Unused Warrior Bios (from the TFU client files)==
*Rollcage: Rollcage is a loud and lethal Decepticon who is ready to race all-comers. Cranking her amplifiers to eleven and revving her engine to 10,000 RPM, she’ll spin her rivals into the walls of high-banked turns. While her opponents burn at the foot of the track, she’ll be burning rubber to the sound of shred guitar in Victory Lane.

*Pitstop: Years of over-refinement means there isn’t anything “stock” about Pitstop. But no matter how hard this Autobot floors it, he seems to spend more time in the pits than in pole position. Roll him out onto the battlefield though and all his special modifications come into their own. On the track he might not reach Victory Lane, but in battle he’s always at the front of the grid.

*Contagion: A venomous Decepticon, Contagion powers himself on the misfortunes of others. Bathing the battlefield in toxic gas he spreads his own brand of dark destruction, stripping enemies down to their gearboxes with searing SMGs. Those big tanks on his back aren’t just for show - damaged Decepticons at close range will find their rust repaired and their batteries boosted. Anyone not in his squad should probably give him a wide berth.

'''''Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Stealth Force Edition''''' is a prequel to the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|''Dark of the Moon'' film]] that was made exclusively for Nintendo Wii and 3DS. It differs from the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|console version]] greatly, as the entire game is played in vehicle mode without the ability to transform into robot mode.

"Are you kidding?! I've wanted to do this my whole life!"
:—'''Wheeljack's''' warning is ignored by '''Ironhide'''

"This is like fighting a refrigerator!"
:—'''Mirage''' taunts Soundwave during combat

==Gameplay==
The game is primarily a third person shooter and has players battle numerous types of enemies. Unlike its predecessors, rather than featuring separate Autobot and Decepticon campaigns, ''Stealth Force Edition'' features a single interwoven story that alternates between the Autobots' and the Decepticons' perspective between levels. There is also limited multiplayer functionality, with a small number of missions that can be played cooperatively with two players.

The game only allows the characters to be controlled in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] or the new [[Stealth Force]] mode, with no ability to transform into [[robot mode]]. A [[Wii]] remote and nunchuk controller are required to play the Wii version.

==Trivia==
*The enemy Transformer soldiers encountered throughout the game reuse the vehicle models from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|Revenge of the Fallen game for XBOX 360/PS3/PC]], but uses the following units.
**Autobots: [[Omnibot Warrior]], [[Omnibot Scout 1]], [[Protectobot Warrior]]
**Decepticons: [[Stunticon Sniper]], [[Stunticon Scout 1]], [[Combaticon Scout]].

Transformers Autobots/Decepticons

2022-03-18T03:07:33Z

StormJet: /* Decepticons */ Fixed up some dialogue that was long overdue.

{{nav-movie-game}}
{{cleanup|June 2021|messy and disorganized; should be laid out consistently with other game articles}}
'''''[[Transformers The Game]]''''' for the [[Nintendo DS]] portable console was developed by [[Vicarious Visions]] for [[Activision]], in conjunction with the [[Transformers (film)|2007 live-action ''Transformers'' movie]]. It consists of two separate games: ''Transformers Autobots'' and ''Transformers Decepticons''. The games have different storylines and environments, but the basic gameplay elements are shared between them.

==Gameplay overview==
In both games, the player creates a character who can scan many different transforming forms. Each game features missions involving this character as well as missions focused on the movie cast.

Unlike most versions of ''Transformers The Game'', the DS version has multiplayer ability. The game features the [[AllSpark Wars]] online challenges, which allow the player to compete against other players for points to unlock more vehicle modes.

Also, in both games, Bumblebee remains the rusty '70s Camaro throughout the game, yet his character art during the talking scenes depicts him with the chest based on the Concept Camaro, which he never scans in game.

==Autobots==
[[File:TransformersGame DS Autobotbox.jpg|300px|thumb|[[Pokeformers]] Red...]]
This game revolves around the [[Autobot]]s and their attempts at preventing the destruction of [[Earth]] and the resurrection of [[Megatron (Movie)/games|Lord Megatron]], the former military leader of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. After the battle of [[Tyger Pax]], [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]] arrives on Earth, landing in the [[Las Vegas]] casino strip. After a quick run-down with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], he teams up with his fellow Autobots to retrieve the [[AllSpark|All Spark]], searching the quiet (and appropriately named) city of [[Tranquility]], but later heading to the [[Hoover Dam]] and even going as far as the Arctic to find the frozen remains of Megatron. All the while, Create-A-Bot must learn what it truly means to be an Autobot.

===Cast===
*[[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-A-Bot]] ([[Steve Blum]])

*''Know Thy Enemy'' - [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]] must bring back three Sector Seven vehicles. The final one, a helicopter, turns out to be Blackout, whom Jazz must fight.

*''Driven to Distraction'' - Bumblebee must neutralize Sector Seven forces at various locations, distracting them so the Autobots can escape to Hoover Dam.

Optimus decides to focus on the AllSpark and leave Bumblebee, which angers Ironhide, who claims Optimus doesn't care about the Autobots, only caring about killing Megatron.

'''Hoover Dam'''
*''In Through the Back Door'' - Jazz must go to the radio tower and uploads a virus. Afterwards, he must head to a computer terminal to download data on the facility and protect himself as it downloads. Ironhide apologizes to Optimus for his earlier outburst, which Optimus accepts.

*''Prison Break'' - Create-A-Bot is asked to destroy six satellite dishes and eight gun turrets and break into Hoover Dam. He frees Bumblebee afterward.

Once they get the AllSpark to Optimus, Megatron appears and steals it from them. Optimus goes to confront Megatron for a final showdown.
*''End Game'' - Create-A-Bot must knock the All Spark out of Megatron's hands and slam it into Megatron's spark. Create-A-Bot is killed, and Optimus Prime must defeat Megatron. Upon the death of his brother, Optimus vows to honor Create-A-Bot's dying wish that Earth be the Autobots' new home.

==Decepticons==
[[File:TransformersGame DS Decepticonbox.jpg|300px|thumb|...And Pokeformers <s>Blue</s> Purple]]
Similar in setting but unique in portrayal is the flip side of the story, ''Decepticons''. Here, a [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|nearly identical robot]] has come to Earth at the command of [[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]] to find the source of a distress signal from a "lost" Decepticon somewhere in the area. However, Starscream keeps many important pieces of information to himself, including the location of the All Spark and the identity of the Transformer locked in the icy grip of the Arctic. While this Create-A-Bot has to learn that being a Decepticon means loyalty to Megatron, it also becomes apparent that though they fight for different reasons, the Autobots and Decepticons are aiming for the same goal, namely peace on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], and also that their senses of honor are not that far apart.

This game is also unique in that the Arctic level is replaced with Qatar, and that this Create-A-Bot is almost immediately put into a position of authority, mainly because Starscream wants everyone dead.

===Cast===
*[[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Create-A-Bot]] ([[Steve Blum]])
*[[Megatron (Movie)/games|Megatron]] ([[Frank Welker]])
*[[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]] ([[Daniel Ross]])
*[[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] ([[Keith David]])
*[[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] ([[Noah Nelson]])
*[[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] ([[David Sobolov]])

===Missions===
'''Casino Strip'''
*''The Rookie'' - Create-A-Bot arrives on Earth, contacts Barricade and learns the basic controls.
*''Hazing'' - Create-A-Bot dukes it out with several Autobot Drones. Afterwards, the Autobot Create-A-Bot shows up.

'''Tranquility'''
*''Beware the Locals'' - Barricade proves to be a crap boss, ordering Create-A-Bot to destroy property to learn how the human police force will strike back.
*''Robots in Disguise'' - Create-A-Bot must scan/destroy several cars. The last one turns out to be an Autobot.
*''The Diversion'' - Seeking to gain Barricade's respect, Starscream advises Create-A-Bot to neutralize the police and cause more collateral property damage.
*''Stings Like a Bee'' - Barricade chases and battles Bumblebee, and sends Create-A-Bot to meet up with Brawl and Blackout in Qatar.

'''Qatar Military Base'''
*''Decoy'' - As a chopper, Create-A-Bot must destroy tanks, jets, and helicopters.
*''Blackout at Qatar'' - Blackout must destroy 5 satellites, then scan 4 buildings under two minutes, all while under extreme fire from human forces.
*''Leftovers'' - [[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]] must stop convoys from getting to the town.
*''Ratchet Retaliation!'' - Create-A-Bot fights [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Autobot drones. Ratchet escapes, and is not seen again. Starscream confides in Create-A-Bot that the AllSpark is on Earth, as is Megatron.

'''Tranquility 2nd Visit'''
*''Torching the Welcome Wagon'' - Create-A-Bot must take out the city's defenses.
*''Codebreaker'' - Brawl must protect several generators from Sector Seven for Barricade.
*''Reinforcements'' - When Optimus Prime arrives on Earth, Create-A-Bot must destroy several protoform Autobots and then incapacitate Bumblebee. Create-A-Bot is also disturbed by the reason the Decepticons hate Starscream: he is a treacherous snake who would kill you in your sleep. The Decepticons roll out to Hoover Dam.

'''Hoover Dam'''
*''Communication Breakdown'' - Starscream rather aggressively warns Create-A-Bot to not let the Decepticons find Megatron or the AllSpark. Brawl must take out 3 satellites and then plant bombs along the dam. Afterward, he brings Barricade a tank to get some information.
*''Cover Your Six'' - Create-A-Bot reveals Megatron and the AllSpark's presence on Earth (though Barricade had already figured out Megatron was on Earth), gaining the other Decepticons' trust for making the "right choice". Barricade raids a Sector Seven base to find info on Megatron's location, and then discovers that the Autobots have allied themselves with Sector Seven.
*''Tag Team'' - Blackout carries Barricade to get into the base. Barricade then must find the control room.
*''Megatron's Return'' - Create-A-Bot must protect Megatron from Sector Seven and later Autobots as Megatron is revived.
*''Get the Chip'' - Blackout must obtain Megatron's weapon chip from fleeing Sector Seven convoys. Megatron then rallies his forces to Tranquility to recover the AllSpark from Bumblebee.
*''Ambush'' - Megatron takes out turrets and Autobot drones. Jazz comes and brawls with Megatron, but is killed.

'''Tranquility 3rd Visit'''
*''Street Brawl'' - Megatron orders the Decepticons to storm Tranquility for the AllSpark. Brawl must destroy Ironhide, but is never seen again.
*''Starscream's Betrayal'' - Starscream must chase down Bumblebee, after which he fights and kills him, retrieving the All Spark. Starscream then kills Blackout, and Barricade tries to fight against him. Too bad he also dies.
*''Sibling Rivalry'' - Starscream learns of Create-A-Bot's defection to Megatron, which does not go well with the Seeker. Create-A-Bot takes down 25 All Spark Drones. Then he chases Starscream, who sends 25 more drones. After chasing Starscream again, 5 Autobot drones show up and Starscream escapes while Create-A-Bot must destroy the drones. Meanwhile, Megatron duels his brother, Optimus Prime. Optimus is killed. Shockingly, he is not the last boss. Starscream challenges Megatron and his last soldier, Create-A-Bot, to battle in the Casino Strip.

'''Casino Strip 2nd Visit'''
*''Final Showdown'' - Create-A-Bot weakens Starscream, who drops the All Spark. Create-A-Bot then slams it on Starscream, mortally injuring himself but not wounding Starscream at all. Megatron chases down Starscream, battling him at three rotating positions all over the map. Starscream dies, and Megatron eats the not-quite-dead Create-A-Bot's spark, claiming that he and the other Decepticons were weak, and only served to "benefit the strong." Poor kid. The AllSpark gone, his troops killed, Megatron then flies off into the night.

==Quotes==
{{note|Due to the two games taking place in their own separate continuities, we've elected to segregate the quotes to the respective game they first appeared in, to clear up any confusion. However, the following two quotes appear in both games, the former in particular is important to the story of both, despite their disparities.}}

"You Decepticons don't know when to quit. Time to teach you that the bad guys always lose." 
"You Autobots are no better than we Decepticons. We might be on opposite sides, but we're both playing the same game."
:—The two '''rookies''' discuss the theme of the games.

"Dispatch, we have a code... umm... what's the code for 'giant robot attack'?"
:—A hapless human police officer.
===''Autobots''===
(''through the radio'') "You can choose from dozens of vehicles! Act now, and you can drive out of here with no money down and no payments till next year! This deal is HUGE!!!"
:—'''Bumblebee''' instructing the '''new recruit''' to scan some alt modes.

(''text message'') Because we can use the AllSpark to rebuild Cybertron. We would finally have a home again. No more roaming through space, no more searching. 
"I've never seen Cybertron. I've always dreamed of seeing it one day." 
(''text message'') You will... soon.
:—'''Bumblebee''' reveals the gravity of the situation.

"What happened to Cybertron wasn't your fault, Optimus. It's Megatron's." 
"No matter what Megatron did, I'm still partly responsible, Jazz. I could've prevented all of this from happening before it happened." 
"By destroying your own brother?" 
"Megatron may be my brother, but he is also the one who took the spark of our father... my friends... our world... I will do what I must." 
:—'''Optimus''' confides in '''Jazz''' his new resolve to end his war with Megatron.

"You young punk! This is war! Showing off is the kind of stuff that gets 'bots killed!" 
"Ironhide is right. But we have a more urgent matter. We need to retrieve the AllSpark at all costs!" 
"What?!? You mean we're just gonna leave Bumblebee?!?" 
"Affirmative." 
"You don't care about ''any'' of us, do you Prime? 'Protect the humans, get the AllSpark, Autobots preserve life!' All you care about is beating your brother!" 
:—'''Ironhide''' confronts '''Optimus''' over his priorities.

"Interesting that the only information you were able to obtain was a way in to rescue Bumblebee. That's rather... fortunate." 
"The AllSpark works in mysterious ways, Optimus. Perhaps it felt it was time to get the gang back together." 
:—'''Optimus''' and '''Jazz''' discuss their recent turn of fortune.

(''through the radio'')"He breaks left... he breaks right... will he make it to the endzone?!?... I'm ready to go out there and give it 110%, all the way, BABY!!" 
"Bumblebee, ''please''. This is serious! Make your way to the AllSpark!" 
:—'''Optimus''' is clearly not a fan of American football.

"Don't take it out on me if you can't get along with your brother!"
:—'''Barricade''' aims below Optimus' belt.

"You Decepticons just want to spread destruction anywhere you go. Destroying Cybertron wasn't enough for you?" 
"It won't be enough until all you Autobots are melted into ''slag''."
:—'''Ratchet''' and '''Blackout''' face off.

"Optimus, if you destroy me, you’ll destroy the AllSpark as well. You will never bring back your precious Cybertron!" 
"... I will do what I must." 
:—'''Optimus''' strips his eternal foe of his "eternal" status.

"Optimus... I see Cybertron. It's all around us... here on Earth. Make this our new home... the humans need us. We need them... protect them, and they will protect us..." (''dies'') 
"Your name will remembered throughout the ages for the sacrifice you have made today. We will never forget... ''I'' will never forget." 
:—The '''rookie''' shares his final wish to '''Optimus.'''

"For now, the Decepticon legions are vanquished, and though we have sacrificed much, fate has yielded an unexpected reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, until the day comes when we are needed again, to fight the forces that feed on chaos. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to all surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: you are not alone. We are here. We are waiting..."
:—'''Optimus Prime''''s closing narration.

===''Decepticons''===

"Wanna play 'catch the projectile'?"
:—'''Brawl''' in a... well, brawl.

"Sector 7 captured Bumblebee... The Autobots have been trying to protect the humans. Why would the humans want to imprison a potential ally?" 
"Because they're weak. Weakness breeds fear, and fear makes every ally an enemy. That's why we Decepticons don't tolerate weakness. If you'd been trained properly by someone like Megatron, instead of that weasel Starscream, you might understand that." 
"Were you able to decipher the file?" 
"Yeah. The "Ice Man" is located at the Sector 7 headquarters in a place called Hoover Dam. It's two mega-miles east of here." 
"Starscream will want to know about this information." 
"Starscream can blow it out his exhaust! Once we revive Megatron, we won't need to worry about Starscream anymore." 
"What makes you think Megatron is so much better a ruler than Starscream?" 
"Because you know where you stand with Megatron. Starscream is the type that would kill you in your sleep. Megatron would have the ball bearings to do it to your face. Now, let's move out."
:—'''Barricade''' takes the '''rookie''' to school on Decepticon leadership.

"Remember, Brawl, the most important thing is to take out the communication satellites. Don't get sidetracked with taking on Sector 7." 
"Gee. Blow up a bunch of stationary targets that won't fight back. How Exciting."
:—'''Brawl''' finds his job lacking.

"Good job, Brawl. Now we can have some fun, finding out what this human knows." 
"Oh, goodie! I love to play with new friends!" 
(''scene fades to black'') 
"Does it hurt?"
:—It's probably best we don't see how '''Barricade''' and '''Brawl''' interrogate the human soldier.

"My Decepticon brothers, we are united once again. Today we dine on the sparks of all Autobots. Today I will reduce Starscream to a pile of scrap metal! Today we recover the AllSpark and show the universe what it means to be a '''Decepticon'''!"
:—'''Megatron''' rallies his loyal Decepticons.

"Now... you see what it is... to be a Decepticon."
:—'''Barricade''' has a final moment with the '''rookie'''.

"You are guilty of the one unforgivable crime: FAILURE!" 
"I won't be the last, Megatron. Someone will ''always'' be there to challenge your leadership!" 
"...Maybe. But they will suffer the same fate as ''you''." 
:—'''Megatron''' can handle '''Starscream's''' treachery, but [[Master Blaster|not his incompetence!]]

"We did it, Lord Megatron... But... Barricade... and the others..." 
"If they were truly Decepticons, they would have survived. Weakness is a rust that must be stripped away... just like you." 
"Wh-- What? But-- I helped save you--" 
"Yes, but you are heavily damaged." 
"But-- could be -- repaired --" 
''(Megatron kills Create-A-Con)'' 
"A waste of resources. The weak only serve to benefit the strong."
:—'''Megatron''' executes the '''rookie''' for his troubles. What a nice boss.

==Reception==
Although still scoring fairly low, the two versions of the game got generally better reviews than their [[Transformers The Game (console)|other]] [[Transformers The Game (PSP)|counterparts]]. ''Autobots'' currently has a [http://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/transformers-autobots 67 on Metacritic], while ''Decepticons'' [http://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/transformers-decepticons only has 66]. Reviewers were turned off by the poor graphics and number of glitches when compared to the console versions, but praised the open-world gameplay and ability to transform at any time. Because, you know, this is a game about [[Transformer]]s.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons

2021-11-05T03:08:48Z

StormJet: /* Notes */ Recently played both versions, and figured out what character models the enemy soldiers are.

{{Nav-dotm-game}}
{{picsneeded|Covers}}
'''Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Autobots''' and '''Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Decepticons''' were released on [[June 14]], [[2011]] for the [[Nintendo DS]]. Both games were developed by [[Behaviour Interactive]] who had previously released ''[[Transformers Animated: The Game]]'', and published by [[Activision]]. Like the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|console version]], they are prequels to the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon]]'' film. They are third-person, over-the-shoulder shooters, and feature both a campaign and multi-player mode.

==Gameplay==
[[File:DOTMDS Optimus shoots dudes.jpg|thumb|300px|Pew pew pew]]
For each mission, there is set character, although once the game has been completed you can go back and replay missions with any playable character. The characters have a primary fire, which is more or less a machine gun with unlimited ammo, and secondary fire in the form of rockets, for which have a limited amount of ammo. More rockets can be obtained by defeating certain foes, which are so numerous you will practically never run out anyway. The character's health is divided between energy, which can be replenished by picking up [[energon cube]]s dropped by defeated opponents, and "shield", which slowly regenerates over time. While in vehicle mode, Transformers can go into [[Stealth Force]] mode, making available machine guns, but not the secondary weapon.

Additional abilities include hacking—pressing the radar icon and aiming at a satellite dish or turret reveals a randomly flashing faction [[insignia]]. Pressing the insignia when it matches your faction hacks the target. Hacked turrets will fire on your enemies, which makes them semi-useful when the game doesn't immediate block you off from them afterwards with a force field. Pressing the A button near certain objects will allow you to pick them up (if the game's feeling charitable) and throw them at enemies. Characters also have special abilities allowing them to reach hidden areas—for instance Mirage can run along walls, while Soundwave can run on overhead wires.

Upgrades are faction-wide and require collecting "upgrade slots" which appear as small spinning objects, and gaining XP. Between levels, a number of upgrades can be bought from the upgrades screen by spending an upgrade slot and 250XP, giving the player more health, shield, or boosting the primary and secondary fire.

==Synopsis==
===Autobot campaign===
'''Chapter 1: Urban Devastation'''
*''Playable character:'' [[Bumblebee (Movie)/games|Bumblebee]]
[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/games|Optimus Prime]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and Bumblebee meet downtown, where they discuss the recent attacks. Believing them to be the work of the [[Decepticon]]s, Optimus sends Bumblebee to investigate, and the small [[Autobot]] quickly discovers that the city is indeed crawling with Decepticons.

'''Chapter 2: Heavy Industry'''
*''Playable character:'' [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]
Optimus contacts Ironhide with more bad news. The Decepticons are attacking on two fronts: [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] is trying to bring the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s back online, while [[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]] is attacking a nearby industrial park. Ironhide goes to the Industrial Park to investigate, and is forced to protect a number of buildings from Decepticon attack, while Starscream shoots down numerous fuel stacks.

'''Chapter 3: The Best Defense...'''
*''Playable character:'' Optimus Prime
Optimus finds Ratchet on the way to the Stadium to check out a disturbance. Optimus opts to go instead, as Ratchet's services are better utilized back at base, but Ratchet warns him before he leaves that they've intercepted a Decepticon transmission about something called [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]]. Optimus goes to investigate the Stadium and briefly tangles with [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]].

'''Chapter 4: Strong Foundations'''
*''Playable character:'' [[Dino|Mirage]]
Mirage finds Ratchet in a worried state as the Decepticons are up to something at a NEST construction site. Promising to investigate, Mirage finds [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] messing up the place, and is forced to chase him down.

'''Chapter 5: Burning Air'''
*''Playable character:'' Optimus Prime
Ratchet and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] contact Optimus to warn him that Decepticons are attacking all over NEST's Pacific island base. Wheeljack additionally warns him that [[Crowbar]] is a dangerous foe. Optimus drives all over the island bashing Decepticons and protecting the buildings, but fails to encounter Crowbar.

'''Chapter 6: Into the Fire'''
*''Playable character:'' Mirage
After Lockdown gets into the NEST base and starts targeting the satellite dishes in an attempt to shut down Autobot communications, Rachet sends Mirage to scour the base and reactivate the dishes. Lockdown is not seen in this level, however.

'''Chapter 7: Dangerous Experiments'''
*''Playable character:'' Ironhide
Mirage reports to Ironhide that he's chasing Lockdown within the base. As Ironhide goes to join the hunt, Optimus Prime contacts everyone with the extremely urgent message not to engage Soundwave. Ironhide tells the Autobot soldier to stay on watch and then proceeds to chase Lockdown around the base and finally catches up with him.

'''Chapter 8: Volcano Overdrive'''
*''Playable character:'' Bumblebee
As Bumblebee stands ready, Ratchet tells him that Soundwave and Crowbar are in the area. Bumblebee needs to track them down, however, and this is the important part, he has to let Soundwave escape. It's part of Optimus's plan. Bumblebee sets out and quickly finds and attacks Crowbar, however he suddenly runs into [[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]]! Bumblebee fights Starscream all over the island as Crowbar and Soundwave escape.

'''Chapter 9: Hunters and Prey'''
*''Playable character:'' Mirage
Starscream, as it turns out, has stolen a piece of [[MechTech|Mechtech]], which luckily has a built-in tracking system. The Autobots have traced him to [[Siberia]], and Mirage goes in to stealthily scope the place out by shooting Decepticons.

'''Chapter 10: Bitter Winds'''
*''Playable character:'' Ironhide
At the Decepticon base, Ratchet briefs Ironhide on the situation—there are radar stations built all around it which must be taken out. Also Ratchet's decoded a transmission indicating that Shockwave is a deadly Decepticon assassin! Ironhide moves through the valley, hacking the Decepticon computers to clear a way for the Autobots.

'''Chapter 11: Heart of Ice'''
*''Playable character:'' Bumblebee
Ironhide, Bumblebee and Ratchet meet up inside the Decepticon base. Ratchet sends Bumblebee to scout ahead, cautioning him that Megatron may be around. Luckily Bumblebee just finds a whole bunch of Decepticons to shoot.

'''Chapter 12: Cold Machinery'''
*''Playable character:'' Ironhide
Optimus arrives, and Ironhide tells him that the Decepticons are completely cut off. Megatron and possibly Shockwave are there. Optimus decides he must go in alone, and tells the others to follow him when he gives the signal. A short time after Optimus goes in, the Autobots receive a weak transmission from him to say that Megatron and Shockwave have escaped, so Ironhide goes after them. He manages to track Megatron, fighting furiously with the Decepticon leader, but Megatron manages to get away. Optimus announces that they won this battle at least, and will be ready for the next one. Elsewhere Megatron calls a strategic retreat, as he's succeeded in getting what he came for—Shockwave!

===Decepticon campaign===
'''Chapter 1: Demolition'''
*''Playable character:'' [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]]
[[Starscream (Movie)/games|Starscream]] relays news to Soundwave that [[Megatron (Movie)/games|Megatron]] has ordered a two-pronged assault. While [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] is in charge of one, Starscream is in charge of an attack on a [[NEST]] facility, and he wants Soundwave to provide a diversion. Soundwave is skeptical that these are Megatron's orders, but decides to check up on it later and goes and wreaks havoc in a nearby industrial park as a diversion.

'''Chapter 2: Desperation Play'''
*''Playable character:'' [[Crowbar]]
Starscream finds Crowbar equally back-chatty when he tells Crowbar to create another diversion near the Stadium to keep the Autobots distracted from the NEST facility. Crowbar proceeds to make as much of a distraction as he can downtown, also encountering Ironhide within the staidum.

[[File:DOTMDS Lockdown chases Optimus.jpg|thumb|300px|Come back here, you coward!]]
'''Chapter 3: Shipping Out'''
*''Playable character:'' [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]
Meanwhile, Starscream sends Lockdown into the NEST facility to look for any information the Autobots have gathered on [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] or Operation: Pillar. Lockdown successfully infiltrates the base, though he spends most of his time chasing [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/games|Optimus Prime]] around.

'''Chapter 4: Deconstruction Site'''
*''Playable character:'' Lockdown
The stolen data secure, Lockdown escapes the NEST base and reports back to Starscream. Starscream notes that the Autobots have taken over an abandoned [[Sector Seven|Sector 7]] base in the Pacific, and dispatches Lockdown there. Lockdown immediately encounters [[Dino|Mirage]] and defeats the Autobot soundly.

'''Chapter 5: Hostile Territory'''
*''Playable character:'' Crowbar
Crowbar has also arrived at the island, and Starscream warns him that Optimus is somewhere there. Crowbar wanders around knocking down buildings, but the Autobot leader fails to show.

'''Chapter 6: Breaking and Entering'''
*''Playable character:'' Lockdown
As part of yet another diversion, Starscream tells Lockdown to go attack communication arrays in the NEST base. Lockdown wonders aloud if it's part of their plan to bring Shockwave back online, and Starscream tells him to mind his own business. Lockdown shrugs and goes and shoots some more Autobots.

'''Chapter 7: Grand Larceny'''
*''Playable character:'' Soundwave
Soundwave also infiltrates the base, on a stealth mission to retrieve Mechtech data which is not helped at all by Starscream's constant chattering over the comm. After fighting his way stealthily into the base by shooting lots of Autobots with his rocket launcher, Soundwave retrieves the data he's after and fights his way towards the exit.

'''Chapter 8: Freedom Run'''
*''Playable character:'' Crowbar
Seeking to escape the NEST base, Soundwave instructs Crowbar to run interference. To Crowbar's delight, this means he gets to beat the snot out of [[Bumblebee (Movie)/games|Bumblebee]] while Soundwave gets away.

'''Chapter 9: Siege Engines'''
*''Playable character:'' Crowbar
Some time later, in Siberia, Crowbar tells one of his fellow Decepticons that he doesn't think the Autobots will find them way out there, but to be vigilant in case they do. As the Autobots shortly do turn up, and Crowbar doesn't want to bug Megatron, he runs around shooting them all. He faces Mirage once again at the end of the level.

'''Chapter 10: Lair of the Dragon'''
*''Playable character:'' Soundwave
Megatron contacts Soundwave with new orders. The Autobots have set up sensor-jamming radar emplacements which are blocking the ability of Megatron and his men from seeing their immediate surroundings. Soundwave sets out and deactivates the radar emplacements while shooting more Autobots.

'''Chapter 11: Deep Freeze'''
*''Playable character:'' Megatron
As the Autobots overrun the Decepticon base, Megatron runs to find Shockwave. Starscream contacts him to see if he's all right or if Starscream can take over yet. Starscream also expresses concern that Shockwave might turn against them, but Megatron says he has no choice but to activate the assassin. With Starscream's concerns duly dismissed, Megatron rampages through the base, destroying Autobot invaders.

'''Chapter 12: Desolate Decisions'''
*''Playable character:'' Megatron
It's not long before he gets a new signal, this time from [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] who has hacked into the Decepticon frequency. Ironhide announces he's going to stop Megatron and proceeds to lead Megatron on a merry chase around the Autobot-infested base until Megatron can defeat him. The Autobots gather outside and Optimus announces that they won this battle at least, and will be ready for the next one. Elsewhere Megatron calls a strategic retreat, as he's succeeded in getting what he came for—Shockwave!

==Quotes==
"MIRAGE!" 
"Aah! What is it?"
:—'''Ratchet''' creeps up on '''Mirage'''.

"You'd better stay quiet! If you don't find the Mechtech data in that base, Megatron will be sorely displeased." 
"Agreed. Your radio silence is appreciated." 
"Oh, I, Ah, yes, of course, radio silence would be best, I... ahem. Starscream out."
:—'''Starscream''' and '''Soundwave'''

"If you fail to survive this, Megatron, I will dedicate my reign as leader to honoring your name!" 
"When I survive this, Starscream, you and I will discuss your treacherous display of ambition."
:—'''Starscream''' and '''Megatron'''

"Shouldn't get so worked up, Starscream. You'll blow a gasket." 
"WORKED, UP?!! I speak for Lord Megatron, you pile of junk! You will obey me!"
:- '''Crowbar''' and '''Starscream'''.

"Lockdown,is the data damaged? Are you functional?" 
"I'm here, Starscream, the data's fine."

"You IDIOT! That data's worth more then you are. Send it immediately!"
:- '''Starscream''' and '''Lockdown'''.

"Keeping us busy while they do their dirty work behind our backs, huh?" 
"Be careful. Other Autobots have sighted Lockdown in the area...he never listens."
:- '''Ratchet''' discussing Lockdown with '''Mirage'''.

==Reception==
[[File:DOTMDS Soundwave carries truck.jpg|thumb|300px|Soundwave looks for a reviewer to throw his truck at.]]
The DS version garnered a plethora of reviews ranging from mediocre to negative. ''Nintendo Power'' magazine rated it at 30%, calling it a step down from previous games.<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/game/ds/transformers-dark-of-the-moon---autobots/critic-reviews Metacritic reviews]</ref> IGN misses ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'', using words like "plain", "uneventful" and "bland", and giving it a rating of 5 out of 10.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/06/18/transformers-dark-of-the-moon-autobots-review IGN Dark of the Moon review]</ref> Nintendo World Report agreed, giving it 3.5 out of 10 but regarded the voice acting as the best part of the game.<ref>[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/27110 Nintendo World Report Dark of the Moon review]</ref> One of the higher ratings was 5.5 out of 10, awarded by ZTGD who criticized the graphics and game play choices and were overall disappointed in the game.<ref>[http://www.ztgd.com/reviews/transformers-dark-of-the-moon-autobots/ ZTGD Dark of the Moon review]</ref> Nintendo Okie particularly criticized the texturing, enemy AI and repetitive game play, noting that "You shoot a lot of robots in this game and after about 20 minutes it gets boring" and "''Dark Of The Moon'' falls far short of being a compelling video game."<ref>[http://nintendo-okie.com/2011/07/05/transformers-dark-of-the-moon-%E2%80%93-autobotsdecepticons-review-ds/ Nintendo Okie review]</ref>

==Notes==
*Certain editions of the game came with a redecoed ''[[Speed Stars]]'' Bumblebee or Lockdown.
*Megatron sports his ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' body rather than his ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' form. Though he still turns into a tank, he can't shoot his main cannon until he switches to his Mechtech winged-tank mode.
*The words "Checkpoint reached" appear to be code for "You are about to be attacked by the enemy".
*Crowbar does not transform into the Chevrolet SUV form of the film, but rather his Cyberverse alternate mode: a Carbon Motors E7 Police Car.
*In the credits, Sideswipe is mentioned to have been voiced by Fred Tatasciore. However, the Autobot does not appear throughout the whole game and has no character model, and absolutely no mention whatsoever, so this must be a mistake.
*There is no Warpath, Laserbeak, or Driller mentioned in this game, or any sign of the other Dreads.
*Although characters like Shockwave, Starscream and Ratchet are deemed unplayable, rumours say by downloading the emulator version of both games, you can play as these characters.
*If you pre-ordered the game/both games at Toys'R'Us, the game skins for Lockdown and Bumblebee are different.
*A glitch can allow you to play as a Decepticon in the Autobot campaign or vise-versa. Go onto a multiplayer game as host (on your own, this doesn't need anyone else), choose game type, place, and character, and wait until it says "Communication Error". When you press OK and go to campaign, you can play as anyone.
*Ironhide ''still'' reuses his [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons]] model, which ''still'' has an entire body different from his movie appearance. Why reuse assets that weren't right to begin with?
*The enemy soldiers from both factions reuse characters models from the [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|previous franchise]], albet in poor quality due to the DS's limitations.
**Autobots: [[Omnibot Scout 1]], [[Protectobot Scout]], [[Protectobot Warrior]]
**Decepticons: [[Stunticon Scout 2]], [[Combaticon Scout]], [[Decepticon Sergeant]]

A Transformers fan since the Beast Wars era. Doesn't like Repowers & abates, but doesn't let them get in my way. Currently doing research on the Transformers DS & PSP games, and gathering as much information on the now shut down Transformers Universe, and enemy soldiers from the Bayformers & Cybertron games from Activision.

*Pitstop: Years of over-refinement means there isn’t anything “stock” about Pitstop. But no matter how hard this Autobot floors it, he seems to spend more time in the pits than in pole position. Roll him out onto the battlefield though and all his special modifications come into their own. On the track he might not reach Victory Lane, but in battle he’s always at the front of the grid.

*Contagion: A venomous Decepticon, Contagion powers himself on the misfortunes of others. Bathing the battlefield in toxic gas he spreads his own brand of dark destruction, stripping enemies down to their gearboxes with searing SMGs. Those big tanks on his back aren’t just for show - damaged Decepticons at close range will find their rust repaired and their batteries boosted. Anyone not in his squad should probably give him a wide berth.

What are you specifically talking about.--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 17:31, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

Scorn's caption does not come off as a joke, but at any rate, The Picture of Scorn is a concept art, and should be noted as such, given that concept art often does not share the same appearance of the final product. I'm not necessarily opposed to humor by nature, but it shouldn't get in the way of information, on and information based site.--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 17:56, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

:No, it really shouldn't. And no, that's not how it works either. You have to refresh talk pages and check recent changes to see if someone's updated a talk page. Don't put responses to things on your talk page to other people's talk pages. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 18:00, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

Why shouldn't it? It's the exact type of picture that needs context to explain it, official imaging that is altered or not representative of the final product.

And, for the most part in my experience, wiki's use the method of response I use, as it guarantee's the user get's the message. Doing it the other way can lead to a number of complication, like the user not getting the message, or information being lost in communication.

Final quick question, Are you an Admin or Mod?--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 18:10, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:No, if they want to know what it is, they can just look at the description on the image itself. Stop trying to make the wiki work the wayt you want it to.

:And I'm not sure where you get that idea from. You're going to get the message, no matter what, Maybe it works that way at Wikia, but not here.

:And no, I'm not. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 18:15, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

As you are not an Admin, I would like to ask you not to discuss this with me, as it's not really your place to. While I do appreciate the desire to look after a wiki that you contribute to, unless you are of a position of authority, trying to enforce any rule or policy will not result in desirable results, especially as the Admin's are the one who are really the one's to determine if a policy is being broken or not, and a standard user does not necessarily have the same ability to truly recognize this, and even if they do, they don't have the authority to do anything about it. For future references, if you think someone is breaking a policy or vandalizing pages, contact an Admin or site Mod, rather than taking matter's into your own hands, as this often does little to help the situation or can even make it worse.--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 18:30, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:......It's a public forum. Just because I'm not a moderator doesn't mean I shouldn't tell you that you're not doing what's right and ask you to stop. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 18:34, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:And even then, why wouldn't I know how to interpret the rules? The rules are stated outright among various pages. This isn't some message board. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 18:51, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

In theory, you are right, but in practice that rarely works. If the user is a true vandal, just messing up the page for kicks, it won't have achieved anything, and may in fact motivate said vandal to keep it up. If it's just another user, then you run into a several other problems. You may not truly understand the full meaning of policy's, or if they are truly being violated, especially if it's a gray type of situation. In those situation, you may just achieve amnesty with a new user who was trying to help. Many people do not appreciate being told what to do by a person in a non-authoritative position, as you are essentially the same "rank" as them, you don't truly have the authority to make any real demands.

Most Admins are Admins for a reason, normally they are excellent editors but also, more importantly, they have excellent crisis situation skills and know how to handle problems users, or users who may simply of made a mistake. At most, a person in a non-authoritative position should ever directly do in a situation where they think someone is breaking policies, is politely inform them of the site policies, and if the situation continues, notify an Admin and let them handle it, as there is little else of use you can actually do.

As to misinterpreting the rule, it's easy to do, as not every situation fit's into the set rules perfectly, many situation have grey aspects to them and are not always easily resolved by a set forth rule, and need some one in a position of authority to properly resolve the situation. --[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 18:57, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:TFWiki doesn't have a massive problem with non-admin users giving advice to new users if it's basic stuff like 'please don't remove captions/add scores of new captions'. Admins aren't always around, and sometimes new users just need pointing to our policy pages. That being said, Escargon, you can sometimes be a bit quick to jump down people's throats over stuff like this. Please try and remain calm and courteous when engaging with other users.

Do you understand why I said it takes the wind out of the argument?--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 21:49, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

In response to comment on abates page

While those are notable achivements, I've been part of much smaller wiki's and wed communitys who can make similar claims, being invited to events and having content copied for outside use. Any communit of of fair size can recize and invint to big events and copying of content, if that is the case, unfortuently happens alot, many people take the easiest way out and instead of using their own ideas, take them from other sources.

As for your estimated user count, as it stands now from 2008 to now, about 13000 users have registered, so a little over 10000, rather than tens of thousands. Now grand majority of those who have registered have not bothered to make a user page, indicating a "fly by night" user who only made a hand full of edits before dropping off, and didn't stick around. I don't know the amount of users who activly take part on the site, but it wouldn't be anywhere near tens of thousands.

But I'd still like a response to my early question, do you know why I said it takes the winds out of that particular arguments sails? I'd like to know if you know what I meant, and if so why you think I was wrong.--[[User:8492nd|8492nd]] ([[User talk:8492nd|talk]]) 23:07, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

I've moved past that and will not pursue the humor issue at this time, but I do want to know what you though my earlier point was invalid. I feel that if you counter one of my point, that you should explain why.

:Stop persueing this. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 23:37, 18 July 2014 (EDT)

Well, no I'm not. I've left that issue alone. Now I'm asking why you didn't considered my earlier point valid at the time. Now I simply wish to know if you actully had a point to counter my earlier comment or not. Now it has become a curiosity, not somthing I want to use to achive an end.

== Swoop ==

Did Hasbro actually explicitly state they still have the name "Swoop"? Or are you extrapolating that from the explanation for AOE Strafe being named that way because of his two heads? I just checked the USPTO website - two entries for "Swoop" filed by Hasbro are listed as "dead", though that only means the name is not ®. It could still be ™ - but then I found entries for "Swoop Coupe" filed by Mattel and a goddamn COMPANY named "Swoop LLC" operating in the "toys" field that has its company name trademarked, both listed as "live" on the USPTO website. Knowing Hasbro's lawyers, they wouldn't touch the name with a ten foot pole at this point.

So again I ask, do you know of an explicit "We still have the name" statement by Hasbro, or are you simply basing an assumption on the fact that "trademark problems" was not explicitly cited as the reason for the name change for AOE?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore|talk]]) 07:33, 27 July 2014 (EDT)

== Fire in the Dark Mini-Cons ==

May I consult with you on organizing the Fire in the Dark Mini-Cons since that community discussion seems to have died? I'm currently trying to figure out how to do [[Reptix]] and [[Ironlunge]] as they are the only beastformer volume 4 Micron Boosters to have already appeared in fiction, as ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' Predacons. As BWU appears to lack Mini-Cons (though Maximals/Predacons are roughly the same size as Micromasters), would it be appropriate to split the pages and classify the Aurex Mini-Cons as being associated with the original toys while the Primax Predacons are repurposings of those toys? This thought occurred to me because Ask Vector Prime classified the quasi-ROTF promotional [[Mighty Mini-Con Team]] as Aurex characters, which rather makes sense given the relative absence of Mini-Cons in Tyran.

:What she's trying to say to you is that the list is only for stream designations that have been officially and formally (or as "formally" as they were given like in such cases as "Aurex Something Something" and "Primax yadda-yadda Zeta") given in official Transformers media. We know that our real world exists in the Quadwal Cluster, but it's official stream designation was never actually ever given, meaning that we can't include it in this list at all regardless of our knowing that it does exist anyway. It's the same reason that we don't have stream designations listed for things like the Beast Machines cartoon, the Victory cartoon, any of the live action films after the first one, the 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon, or pretty much any piece of Transformers media that isn't on that list. We know that all official Transformers media does exist, but not everything has an official stream designation that has been given by a piece of official Transformers media, and therefore, everything that doesn't have an official stream designation is left out of the list since the list is only for stream designations that have been officially given. Otherwise, we'd have to start making up stream designations for everything, and that's not what this Wiki is supposed to do. Besides, the very first line of description text in the Quadwal section ("[[Transformers timeline|A strangely divergent continuity family.]]") already links out to the article for our real world anyway, so the fact that our real world is represented by/inside the Quadwal Cluster is already indicated by that line of text on the main list page. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 01:26, 19 December 2017 (EST)

==Grammar==
I hadn't really taken a look at any of your synopses before, simply because it's a lot of text. But I glanced over [[The Dark Heart of Sandokan|this one]] and it was just... hard to read.

I'm not a proofreader and I hate feeling like I'm nitpicking or whatever, especially when you're doing such good work and especially when you've put whole orders of magnitude more work into this wiki than me, but it took me over half an hour to comb through this one and fix the errors. I'm still not really happy with how it turned out, because one way or another I have very little formal understanding of grammar and I feel like a lot of things slipped by me. Also, I'm really not sure how much of what's wrong with this synopsis was just carried over from the old version.

Recurring errors:
* Ship names were not italicised.
* Sentences often had far more commas and clauses than they should've - like, there were some extremely long sentences in there that really should have been cut in half.
* Commas were often placed on the wrong side of connectives (i.e. like "I went to the store, and approaching the counter, said hi to the shopkeeper." instead of "I went to the store and, approaching the counter, said hi to the shopkeeper.").
* This is where my lack of formal training comes into play, but you used lots of -ing verb like "turning", "blasting", "running" etc. particularly at the start of sentences. Didn't read right to me, especially if more than one was used in a single sentence.
* Sentence subjects were often unclear, usually as a result of the above errors.

Please carry on doing what you're doing, but maybe take the time to carefully read back what you have both as you finish each sentence, and as you finish each section. If you really don't have time I'll carry on trying to do my best to clean up, because I'd rather see this content up than not at all.

I don't have time to go and check any of the older synopses, but I'd just leave those anyway and carry on with the new content.[[User:The Wadapan|The Wadapan]] ([[User talk:The Wadapan|talk]]) 05:54, 5 February 2018 (EST)

== Upcoming comic releases ==

I guess this is mostly towards the upcoming ''Lost Light'' issue but I guess it can apply to any other comic really. How come the articles aren't created for the comics until after the issues have been released? To an extent, I get that it might be done because the issues are too far away and they might even end up getting cancelled. That's why for example on Wikipedia, a movie that has only started production and is to be released in like, 3 years, gets a draft rather than an article. But in the case of ''Lost Light'' #16, the issue comes out tomorrow. Would it be better to already have at least some of the article ready?

:::Sipher is an admin. I only left in Gigatron and the like in as a compromise; I'm fully willing to convert those names as well.

== In defense of NexusShard17 ==

I don't think it's entirely fair to call NexusShard17's work done "for no reason". In the case of the Manatronatee image, he probably removed it because he assumed Saix had tagged it for deletion for good reason, something that I do not believe you caught. In the case of Arcee / Chun-Li, he must have been confused on whether the figure represented Transformer scanning human or the other way around. After all, it's not that hard on this site to get carried away while tackling a tedious set of problems, and Nexus Shard17 does handle a lot of grunt work. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D.

== TLK HMS Aliance Bot Robot Mode ==

Hi I was a bit confused by the response to the removal of my note, just need to clarify my comments on the concept art of the HMS Alliance resembling a scuba diver like Seaspray's ROTF HFTD Voyager figure released in 2010 I think that's when it was.
Just in case I should ask to see because I was at first taken aback by there being two concept arts in that book with HMS in their name.

One is on pg. 390 the "HMS Alliance" and I think on pg. 392 or 391 there is another robot mode named HMS Victory. They both look completely different.

:''Hound is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:TLKHoundRenderPackageArt.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Son, this is what happens when you ''frag a stranger in the aft!'']]

'''Hound''' is a technical specialist and highly experienced, gutsy [[Autobot]] commando. He is a boisterous warrior who throws himself into every mission with no more worries than a duck landing on a pond, and quick to draw any of his many, many guns. And while his tendency to switch from gun to gun in quick succession in a single battle often leaves him bereft of weapons and ammunition, Hound's bravery and resourcefulness is never in doubt. The only thing that just might take a toll on him is the loss of a friend; Hound's boisterous streak hides a soft-Sparked 'bot, who despite arguments and bickering, loves his fellow Autobots and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|commander]] even more than he loves a good rumble. It's this love for his comrades that makes him such an effective warrior. He will take on an entire [[Decepticon]] army if he has to, and he would sooner go down swinging than abandon his allies on the battlefield.

He is good friends with the far more relaxed [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]], although the other Autobot's more relaxed attitude sometimes gets on Hound's nerves. He is also sometimes partnered with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]] [[Slash (AOE)|Slash]].

[[Image:AOE-OptimusIsHere.jpg|left|250px|thumb|You're entering a world of pain!]]
Hound was among the Autobots who went into hiding on Earth after [[Cemetery Wind]] began hunting down the Autobots. Hound was overjoyed when [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] returned to the surviving Autobots. Though delighted that the Autobots were a team again, Hound expressed his immense distaste of humans following their betrayal. He didn't take kindly to [[Drift (AOE)|Drift's]] haikus defending humanity, and nearly came to blows with him before trying to open fire on [[Cade Yeager]], his daughter [[Tessa Yeager|Tessa]], and her boyfriend [[Shane Dyson|Shane]]. That night, Hound was sobered when Optimus asked if there were signs of any other surviving Autobots, and thanks to Cade's tinkering with Cemetery Wind's drones, the Autobots learned of an attack on [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], as well as [[Leadfoot (DOTM)|Leadfoot's]] demise. Hound was saddened to learn of his friend's fate, and saluted his fallen comrade, bitterly cursing his assailants as "savages". The loss of Leadfoot helped convince Hound to join in Cade's mission to infiltrate KSI.

[[Image:AOE-HoundMournsLeadfoot.jpg|right|250px|thumb|He died… He died as so many young 'bots of his generation before his time.]]
However, the Autobots suffered another blow when they learned of Ratchet's death and subsequent melting down for raw material. Hound gladly joined in the enraged Optimus' attack on KSI. After fighting their way through several rooms and facilities, the Autobots came upon the imprisoned [[Brains]], who Hound took the time to free from his predicament. Hound was eager to kill Joshua Joyce for the atrocities he'd committed, but after a lecture on how the Autobots now meant nothing to humanity, Optimus quietly ordered a retreat, to Hound and Brains' disappointment. The Autobots fled KSI, only to be pursued by [[Megatron (Movie)|Galvatron]] and [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]]. The Autobots were subsequently separated from their leader and thus unable to save Optimus and Tessa from [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]].

[[Image:AOE-LetsUseWords.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Crosshairs, I got buddies who died ''face down in the muck'' so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant!]]
The Autobots, Cade and Shane ventured to [[Chicago]], and covertly stowed away on Lockdown's ship (though Hound admitted it was probably a bad idea). After warning the group about Lockdown's inevitable booby-traps, Hound had to aggressively prod [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] into helping rescue Optimus and Tessa. Hound took charge of the Autobots and led them in the search for Optimus, assigning Cade to search the cell block for Optimus and Tessa. Eventually, the group found Lockdown's high-security vault, where Hound had a disgusting encounter with an alien life-form. Despite the creature's relative harmlessness, Hound couldn't find it in him to let it survive, and quickly destroyed it. It was at that moment Optimus made his presence in a cell known, and ordered Hound to commander the separate ship docked with Lockdown's the cell block was in, though he confessed to Optimus he was a "sucky" pilot. Indeed, when the team regrouped, the ship was found to have made an extremely rough landing. Hey, at least the big guy was honest.

[[Image:The Big Lehoundski.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Has the whole world gone ''CRAZY?!'' '''''AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SLAG ABOUT THE ENERGON?!''''']]
Optimus ordered the Autobots to abandon humanity forever and flee to the stars aboard the stolen ship, a plan Hound was soundly with. After Optimus and Hound revealed the [[Creator (AOE)|Creators]]' hand in Earth's past and their race's origins, Brains revealed Galvatron's nature as a reincarnated Megatron. Optimus ultimately decided to stop Galvatron, retrieve the Seed, and subsequently leave Earth for good. Hound piloted the ship to [[China]], and left the pilot's seat in order to help retrieve the Seed from Joyce. However, incoming fire from Galvatron's army knocked him and Bumblebee into the streets of Hong Kong.

Although he ended up briefly stuck in a building thanks to his plump shape, and did not appreciate Joyce calling him fat (the inventor earned one of Hound's [[Cy-gar|cigars]] being flicked at him in retaliation), Hound fought tooth and nail to protect the humans and the Seed from Galvatron's forces with Bumblebee's support. When Hound found himself running out of ammo and weaponry, he convinced Cade to join the battle with him. Despite overwhelming odds and an enormous amount of enemy fire whittling him down, Hound fought on as long as he could, also utilizing his skills as a "fat ballerina" to his advantage. After taking out a group of KSI Transformers with a grenade, Hound finally ran out of ammo, but fought on using his hat, belt, and even his cigar. Hound finally collapsed, exhausted from the battle, but was reinvigorated when Optimus joined the battle with the [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobots]]. Hound soon joined in attempting to escort the Seed to safety, but when Lockdown arrived and unleashed his ship's tractor beam, Hound escaped its influence and helped escort the seed across a nearby bridge to safety. Soon, Lockdown was defeated, and after regrouping, Optimus assigned Hound and the Autobots to protect the Yeager family before departing into space with the Seed. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

[[File:TLKShutUpDaytrader.jpg|left|upright=1.6|thumb|Shut the frag up, [[Steve Buscemi|Daytrader]].]]
In the years since Optimus Prime's departure from Earth, Hound had taken refuge at Cade Yeager's [[Junkyard (TLK)|junkyard]] with the other Autobots. Hound regularly helped set up one-way phone calls between Cade and Tessa, who was away at college. One day, when Cade and Bumblebee were caught in a stand-off with the [[Transformers Reaction Force]], Hound arrived to provide his friends with extra firepower. Cade was able to defuse the stand-off, though Hound egged on the TRF to shoot him as he departed. Hound unknowingly had two stowaways in the form of the young [[Izabella]] and her companion [[Sqweeks]], who hitched a ride back to the junkyard with him.

[[File:TLKHoundAndCade.jpg|right|upright=1.6|thumb|Man, I'm sorry. Come on, Dude.]]
They were soon visited by [[Daytrader]], who Hound considered the "most irritating, annoying Tranformer" and threatened the rogue with violence the entire time, especially since he'd been slacking off on his promise of getting them a ship. Later, after trying to explain his weight to the newly arrived Izabella, he set up another call between Cade and Tessa. However, the call went on for too long, and knowing they were risking detection, Hound was forced to cut the call short. Hound apologized and reassured Cade that he was a good father before bemoaning how his own father never called him, and later explained to Izzy the extent of Cade's situation. The next day, the Decepticons, asisted by the TRF, found and attacked the junkyard. While Cade led the others away to set up a trap in a nearby town, Hound stayed behind to buy them some time, despite Cade's protests not to be a hero (Hound contended he was ''born'' a hero). Hound faced off with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] but was quickly taken out of the fight by a blast from his fusion cannon.

[[File:TLK Hound underfire.jpg|left|upright=1.6|thumb|Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!]]
Much later, after recovering, when [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] had made its way to earth and loomed in the skies overhead, Hound joined the other Autobots in heading for Stonehenge to partake in the forthcoming battle, as Daytrader finally delivered Lockdown's former ship to them. Hound warned Izabella that things were going to get ugly, but she easily convinced him to let her join them. Hound agreed she could use the "field trip to the front lines" to get some battle experience, and the Autobots met up with the returned Optimus, though Hound complained that he didn't get a chance to say hello before Optimus flew off to lead the attack. En-route, he and the other Autobots observed the [[Guardian Knight]]s with mixed feeling, with Hound declaring that they "looked like wusses".

[[File:TLKMegsAndHound.jpg|right|upright=1.6|thumb|"Whoa! Hey man!" ''"I JUST BOUGHT THE FRAGGING CAR LAST WEEK! I'M GONNA FRAGGING KILL YOU!"'']]
Hound and Bumblebee shared an [[Orbital Assault Carrier]] to tangle with some airborne Decepticons forces, but he soon hopped off to provide some aid on the ground to their human friends. Even with their combined firepower, Hound was unable to push forward thanks to the presence of a gun emplacment and the [[Infernocon|Infernocons]], Hound knowing he didn't have enough ammunition to take on [[Infernocus]]. Eventually Sqweeks cleared a path, and Hound joined Optimus, Bumblebee, [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|Hot Rod]], Cade, and [[Viviane Wembly]] in charging forward, though he mocked the other humans for abandoning the fight. Within the control center, he once again took on Megatron, this time alongside his fellow Autobots; however, Hound's lack of speed and cumbersome weapon made him yet again an ill-matched opponent against their much faster opponent. Hound was almost killed by the Decepticon leader had it not been for Hot Rod's (literally) timely aid. With Megatron briefly frozen in a time bubble, Hound vowed to blow his head off and let loose a rain of gunfire that managed to knock Megatron back for a moment while Hound recovered his momentum. Though Hound was further plagued by the weightlessness of the falling ignition chamber, Viviane ultimately saved the day, and Hound returned to Cybertron with his fellow Autobots.

===''How to Ride a Dinobot!'' comic===
Hound was taken to a dense Chinese forest to learn how to ride a Dinobot. Despite his initial aghast horror at the prospect, Hound sucked it up and decided to attain dominance over his chosen mount, [[Slash (AOE)|Slash]], by bossing it around. Unfortunately, this reckless show of aggression earned him a rather goofy, humiliating kick, and he remained in a disoriented pile until Optimus mounted Grimlock and ordered the Autobots and Dinobots to ride out to battle. {{storylink|How to Ride a Dinobot!}}

===''Schick Hydrobot and the Transformers'' comic===
While searching for Decepticons, who had plans to build an Energon converter to create a massive army and enslave the Earth, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Hound came across [[Hydrobot (TLK)|Hydrobot]] and mistook him for a [[Decepticon]]. Before they could catch him, Hydrobot escaped from the Autobots' clutches. It was Hound who found out that the [[H-Boostium|substance]] the tiny 'bot left behind was nothing like something a Decepticon would use and traced its source to a [[Schick]] R&D department. The Autobots gained access into it in vehicle mode by fooling the guard into believing that the vehicles modes they were using was ordered by the scientist Dr. [[Hiroshi Benson]] himself. Upon gaining access to the laboratory, they confronted Hiroshi in robot mode, which left the human scientist baffled.

Shortly after the scientist finished explaining the origin of the substance and Hydrobot, a squadron of Decepticons led by Megatron suddenly bursted through the wall, explaining their intent to use the devices inside Hiroshi's laboratory to build the Energon converter. Luckily, Hydrobot arrived at the scene to help the Autobots by knocking over [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]] and using the [[Energy-field razor|control set]] to release a shock burst through Bumblebee towards the other Decepticons, prompting them to retreat. After all was said and done, the Autobots gave Hydrobot a lift and bid their farewells. {{storylink|A New Friend|A New Friend}}

{{voiceactor|[[Daniel Ross]] (English)}}

Hound was among the Autobots who accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] to [[Earth]] in response to a signal from [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] alerting them to the presence of the [[AllSpark|All Spark]] on the planet. After being informed by Bumblebee's human companion [[Sam Witwicky]] that the lost [[Decepticon]] leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was also on Earth, Prime dispatched Hound and his close friend [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] to investigate the Arctic cavern in which Megatron's body was originally uncovered. Taking some drones with them, Hound and Trailbreaker discovered that the Decepticons [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave]] and [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] had had the same idea. As Megatron's body had already been moved by [[Sector Seven]] anyway, Hound and Trailbreaker had nothing to lose by planting bombs in the cavern, hoping to entomb the two Decepticons in ice. Unfortunately, the two villains escaped at the last minute, having discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones to Earth with him to help search for the All Spark—drones which were currently lying dormant around the Earth.

Shockwave brought Megatron's drone army back on line soon after, and they attacked the Autobots en route to [[Hoover Dam]]. [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] forced the origin of the drones from a defeated Thundercracker, and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] quickly concocted a virus that would send them back into sleep mode. Hound and Trailbreaker were charged with getting the virus transmitted into a satellite so that it could be broadcast to all the drones at once, and they broke into a communications center belonging to "The Corporation" (apparently a Sector Seven front company) to use their communications dish. Decepticon drones dogged their every step, blowing up the first dish they found and forcing them to move to the complex's airstrip to find another. Unfortunately, the drones cut off the power supply to this dish, requiring Hound to power it up manually while Trailbreaker uploaded the virus. "Uploading the virus", for some inexplicably ''bizarre'' reason, involved Trailbreaker violently attacking the dish control panel, causing both it and the dish to explode, hurling Hound's body across the complex. The virus was successfully transmitted to the drones, knocking them offline, but at the cost of Hound's life. With the last of his strength, Hound asked Trailbreaker if the plan worked, but he died in Trailbreaker's arms before his friend could answer.

It really sucks to be Hound. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

Hound has a love for Earth's boundless wonders of nature even more than Cybertron. The brave and faithful Autobot secretly desired to become a real earthling. For Hound, the earth showed him nothing about Cybertron, which was why he wanted to leave at first. On his patrols, Hound would dare to lock on the enemy outpost's position. During his leisure time, Hound would freely explore Earth's natural scenery. However, Hound also knows that this sensation is a temporary setback, not a permanent one. In comparison to the rest of the crew on the ''Ark'', Hound fights not just loyally but also professionally and fearlessly. Unlike the Autobots, though, Hound secretly wants to be as carefree as a human.

In battle, Hound wielded the "[[Grips of Justice]]" and the "[[Roaring Gravity]]" shotgun. His active skill was "Weapon Master":

: Part of the second assortment of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] [[Kre-O|Kreon Warriors]], Hound has been reimagined as a robotic samurai. Appropriately, he eschews melee weapons for a (non-firing) crossbow, plus a pair of shuriken pegged to his legs that he can hold in his hands if you like.

: Like all the Kreons released that year (at normal retail at least), he uses the new 2015-tooling Kreon body, which basically involves small construction changes on every part below the head, making them largely incompatible with the prior Kreon parts (heads still work fine), but the new tooling adds some extra functionality and structural support.

: The Kreon Warriors were only released in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. The individual bags had also abandoned any kind of coding that identified the contents. This means getting the one you want from an unopened bag involves either trying to feel out the unique parts, or just buying the whole dang case.

:Released as part of the third wave of ''The Last Knight'' Legion Class figures, Hound is a Legends-sized robot that transforms into a tactical vehicle in just a few steps. He features 3mm compatible hands and his feet have sculpted split faux-wheels, which protrudes from the back of his alt-mode. Like Drift, he features a sculpted insignia on the left side of the vehicle door.

:One of the two new molds in the first wave, ''Turbo Changer'' Autobot Hound is a small & simple figure that transforms from vehicle into robot by folding his vehicle front to his back. His only articulation is his arms, and features 5mm compatible hands. Hound also features a nearly invisible tampograph on his vehicle front, which can be revealed with [[Dragonstorm#MegaTurboChanger|Mega Turbo Changer Dragonstorm's]] UV-powered Cyberfire gimmick.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-14'''
**''Accessories'': 2 double-barreled cannons, 2 Gatling gun, weapon holder, helmet
:Part of the second wave of ''Premier Edition'' Voyager Class toys, Hound is a new mold that transforms into a ''backless'' Mercedes Unimog tactical vehicle. The figure comes with four guns, that can combine into a weapons turret to ''compensate'' for the back of the vehicle mode. The figure also features a removable helmet. If one should find this incarnation of Hound's arsenal to be lacking, worry not. The figure has ''twenty-four'' hardpoints throughout the body and included weapons, six of which can accommodate the smaller pegs found on the previous version's small arms, allowing the figure to re-purpose and arrange his old arsenal in a number of ways, even including specifically molded holsters on his thigh kibble for the guns that originally stored within his legs on the 2014 version.

:Like some of the [[Ratchet_(G1)/toys#Masterpiece|toys]] with some trademark issues involving the Red Cross organization, Hound's red cross tampographs on his robot mode helmet and vehicle doors were removed from the [[:File:TF-TLK-Hound-revised-stock-photos.jpg|revised stock photos]]. This change also applies to the Japanese release. At least one sample possesses the red cross tampograph.

:''Movie the Best'' Hound is a redeco of the ''Premier Edition'' figure above. Rather than the weapons included with the Premier Edition toy, he includes the guns and knife from the ''AOE'' Voyager, as well as a new shield that becomes the truck-mode bed shell seen on Hound's vehicle mode in the movie.

:This release still lacks the Red Cross symbols and any Autobot insignia, and although he now has the portion of the vehicle where Hound's pin-up girl "nose art" should be, it is also absent (lacking even the Platinum Edition's "Girl Minus Girl" version). The stock photos (pictured to the right) are missing much of the paint details on the actual figure.

==Notes==
*Hound is the first on-screen Autobot with a military vehicle [[alternate mode]].
* While his robot mode does not involve drastic changes in his appearance in ''The Last Knight'', his vehicle mode undergoes a big change, from the Oshkosh Defense truck to a Mercedes Unimog tactical vehicle.
*Hound, along with Crosshairs, did not have any on-screen transformations until ''The Last Knight'' was released.
[[File:TLK_BlueHound_vs_RedHound.jpg|thumb|right|300px|For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint!]]
*The Designer Desk video for ''Age of Extinction'' Voyager Hound refers to his biggest gun as a "triple-barrel Phalanx cannon". This suggests he's toting around part of a {{w|Phalanx CIWS|Phalanx close-in weapon system}}, which is a specific type of ship-based Gatling gun normally used against incoming missile fire. '''Hardcore'''.
*The first trailers for ''The Last Knight'' featured Hound with Red Cross insignias, which were removed in subsequent trailers. However, he retained them in the theatrical movie, with muted colors. The digital cut of the movie changes their colour to blue. Early CG [[stock photography|stock renders]] for his Voyager Class toy had them as well, as well as stock photos depicting a near-final toy. The actual toy released at retail lacks them, though, and a more common version of the stock photos has them edited out.

'''Shockwave''' was left to watch [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] long ago, but he would eventually follow the call of the [[AllSpark]] to [[Earth]]. Deadly efficient with a cold devotion to logic, Shockwave is a killing machine like few others, one of the very few who could rival Megatron, and quite popular amongst the Decepticons. In a way, [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|some]] respect him enough to willingly work with him, while [[Nitro Zeus|others]] idolize him to the point of avenging his death. Nevertheless, Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy whichever Autobots dare stand in his way with his arm-mounted [[Astro Magnum|AstroMag Cannon]].

[[File:DOTM - ShockwaveDriller.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"We have wormsign."]]
Shockwave and his pet [[Driller]] attacked the Autobots when they were summoned to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] by the Decepticon agent [[Alexi Voskhod]]. This was done as an act of misdirection to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground, leaving Optimus very disturbed to see Shockwave on Earth.

[[File:DOTM-Shockwavecloseup.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The four tall tales of Robodian the one-eyed jerk.]]
Later, Shockwave took part in the invasion of [[Chicago]]. He and the Driller emerged from beneath the convoy of Autobots, and the Driller separated Optimus from his trailer. Shockwave left the Driller and proceeded to track down the Autobots. The [[Wrecker]]s were sent to distract him, peppering his armor with fire from their machine-guns. He used a car as a shield and fired at them, and once they drove off, he menacingly began to pursue them down the road, missing the two small Autobots, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who quickly fled.

[[File:830px-Dotm-shockwave&driller-film-chicago.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Wanna pet my worm?]]
Later, he noticed humans inside a building, and sent his Driller into the fray to topple a building and kill [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Carly Spencer]], [[Robert Epps]], and the other humans inside. However, the beast was killed by Optimus Prime using his flight gear. Enraged by the death of his pet, Shockwave opened fire on the Autobot leader, briefly disabling him and taking him out of the fight.

[[File:DOTM-OptimusShockwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Welcome to the refinery.]]
He soon joined [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] in rounding up the other Autobots. Brains and Wheelie forestalled the Decepticons from further executing their prisoners by taking control of a Decepticon gunship, and dropping [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. Shockwave retreated further away with Barricade and some other Decepticons, but the human soldiers had set a trap and fired upon them. Shockwave's face was obscured by one of their parachutes, and his eye was then shot out by the Wreckers, causing it to dangle by its wires. He then attempted to escape, but Optimus Prime came charging back into the battle, and when Shockwave fired at him, the Autobot dodged the shot, donned a set of [[knuckle-spikes]], and punched Shockwave so hard that part of his abdomen shattered. Even ''this'' did not put Shockwave down, but Prime did not give up - he punched Shockwave again, pinned the Decepticon down and tore his dangling eye out through his throat, finally killing the bloodthirsty Decepticon. Optimus then used Shockwave's cannon to shoot out the control pillar set up in the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. Shockwave chose to rally behind [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], and Shockwave joined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], they encountered a [[Driller]], a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian [[Defense Force]] that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

After the war broke out he joined the Decepticons. As Starscream was asking what to do next minutes before the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] went to space, Shockwave told him that they would obey Megatron's orders without any question. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} When the Autobots attacked [[Simfur Temple]], Shockwave attempted to apprehend [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], but with no success. When Starscream blew up the [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] carrying Sentinel and his [[pillar|secret weapon]], Shockwave ordered the annihilation of the retreating Autobots, but Megatron made him stand down, gleefully predicting Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Shockwave returned with Megatron to his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]] during Optimus's revenge attack. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Shockwave asked Megatron if he could kill Optimus Prime and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] after they had been stuck by the [[smelting pool]], but Megatron was disappointed by Shockwave's lack of vision. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Optimus got inside to fight Megatron, while Starscream and Shockwave attempted to kill their former comrade Ironhide. Suddenly, the skies darkened: the Autobots had attacked the citadel to distract the Decepticons from their true goal of stealing the AllSpark from the temple. Optimus blasted Starscream and Shockwave, and the two Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm2-ShockwaveAllSpark.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]] Some time later, after the Autobots sent the All Spark into space, Starscream left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons still on Cybertron as he went in search of his prize. During a battle with a team of Autobots, Shockwave heard the scream of the AllSpark when it was found by [[Sector Seven]]. Leaving [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in charge of the Decepticons on Cybertron, Shockwave set out in an impossibly fast ship, swearing not to return without the AllSpark. He crashed in [[Tunguska]], [[Siberia]] in [[1908]].<ref>''Rising Storm'' issue 2 reveals that Shockwave caused the mysterious real-life [[Tunguska event]].</ref> He remained buried there in [[stasis lock]], healing until [[Soviet Union|Soviet Russia]] found him ten years later. Using stolen research from the U.S., who had found Megatron the same way, the Russians reverse-engineered his technology to invent nuclear power plants. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Frozen}}

There were no digital records of Shockwave's existence, and the physical documents pertaining to him were lost, burned, shredded or stolen in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. The Siberian facility was abandoned and Shockwave was left forgotten. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

[[File:RisingStorm_Shockwave_and_astrotrain.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Astrotrain, go away. You're spoiling the G1 ambiance around me."]]
Soundwave discovered the satirical article and its photograph, and deduced it was based on stolen Soviet documents. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} In [[2010]], Megatron freed Shockwave and brought him to his "base" in [[Namibia]], where he was eager to get back to killing Autobots as soon as possible. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] made their presence known on Earth near [[Dalian]], [[China]], where they quickly disposed of the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and stole material for a mysterious construction project.

Shockwave began following the exploits of Earth's stranded Transformers from afar, and derided its war's combatants as idiots after watching a skirmish in [[California]]. After contacting Astrotrain for an update on their project, he tracked [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s radiation trail back to Starscream's current base of operations, in a junkyard on the outskirts of [[Mexico City]]. Blasting his way through the Decepticons unwise enough to try defending Starscream, Shockwave informed the treacherous air commander that Megatron had "requested his services." Before the conversation could go any further, Astrotrain radioed Shockwave with some bad news: the "[[Brains|brain unit]]" scrap drone that held the control software for the machine he was constructing had escaped. Shockwave charged Starscream and his followers with recovering the drone. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[File:Risingstorm_3_shockwave_on_NEST.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Shock blast!]]
Shockwave contacted an angry Starscream who thought he was promised the Autobots would be occupied. Shockwave countered that they were occupied, but, you know, with Starscream, leaving Shockwave free to leave a message for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the [[NEST]] Headquarters in [[Diego Garcia]]. After killing [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and other Autobots who stood in his way, Shockwave confronted the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, [[Theodore Galloway]] told him that he was. Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one, and he asked his question one more time. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After killing [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], he and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] left Diego Garcia, then he arrived in [[Philadelphia]] killing [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] in the process and shot down [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots, Optimus Prime battled Shockwave, quickly overpowering him and brutally pummeling the sadistic Decepticon. Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's [[Driller|"pet"]] came to save his master. The badly damaged Shockwave returned to Namibia along Starscream and Soundwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Under the orders of Starscream, Shockwave attacked [[Tranquility]] in an effort to interfere with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s attempt to rescue [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from [[Sector Seven]]. Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

[[File:Tf2007console shockwave turret.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|Death Cannon OF LOGIC!]]
Landing in downtown, the [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] Shockwave adopted a helicopter and an artillery emplacement as his alternate modes, promptly transforming into the latter and lobbing explosives around the city. Prime, forced to cut off his rescue, charged in and pounded Shockwave until the goliath transformed and retreated to another position. Prime doggedly kept at Shockwave, following him every time he retreated, eventually defeating the Decepticon and saving Tranquility. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

[[File:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game. It is only logical.]]

The massive Shockwave might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust Megatron for years. As you might imagine, he and Starscream don't get along very well.

When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

Shockwave had crashed on Earth thousands of years ago and fell into stasis mode. He was later discovered by the Russians and a facility was built to contain him, where he was frozen to prevent him from waking up.

Three years after Megatron was wounded, the Decepticons took refuge in that same Russian facility to repair themselves. His leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] decided to release him, since he was needed for the upcoming operation. The base came under fire, however, thanks to Starscream leading the [[Autobot]]s straight to Megatron. The 'Cons abandoned base and left Shockwave and his [[Driller]] to thaw out.

[[File:Transformers DOTM Shockwave Game.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Give me your fac—er, I mean eye!]]
Optimus discovered Shockwave and ordered [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to activate more freeze tanks to keep him frozen. Unfortunately, Shockwave's [[Driller|pet]] awoke from its slumber, and lashed out at the intruders. The attempts to keep him frozen eventually failed, and Shockwave woke up and decided to destroy the Autobot leader. Years under stasis meant that he wasn't fully combat ready, and it was something Optimus took advantage of when he attacked the Decepticon assassin. Shockwave soon managed to fully recover and lashed out at Prime with everything he had. Autobot reinforcements arrived to help in Optimus' assault, but were dispatched quite easily. During their skirmish, Optimus Prime (with a little help from Ratchet) deduced his weak spot as the three cylinder-shaped generators mounted on his back. With this knowledge, Optimus Prime was then able to take down Shockwave with his jetpack/machinegun upgrades, until the Driller decided to intervene, and blocked off the shots while retreating with its master.

Shortly after, Shockwave met up with Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in Nambia, Africa. He was ordered to find a device in a nuclear power plant called Chernobyl. Shockwave agreed, and Megatron told him and the others of Operation Pillar... {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)}}

Shockwave (in his Super Bot form) was the final challenge that [[you]]r Bot Shot had to face and defeat in the [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] gladiatorial pits. Your Bot Shot prevailed, and Shockwave was knocked offline.

Shockwave also created some ''eeevil'' creatures in his lab, which your Bot Shot ''also'' had to face. Good thing your Bot Shot defeated them, then!

*'''Shockwave / Fusion Tank''' (Cyberverse Action Set, [[2011]])
**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''006'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV19'''
**''Accessories:'' Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade, missile, Chicago

:The [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class Shockwave is cast in a lighter purple than his Voyager class figure. Like that larger toy, he transforms into a Cybertronian tank, and features a removable cannon, blade, and hose. He also has a [[Fusion Tank add-on|back component]] that attaches to his vehicle to form a "Fusion Tank," and that can separately transform into "Ground Weapon" and "Battle Base" modes. For safety reasons, his knee spikes is molded in rubbery plastic. Likewise, his chest ribs is also molded with the same soft plastic, but unfortunately, it could be occasionally loose. Also, due to the hose's slightly short length, raising the shoulder-mounted cannon in a firing position with the hose attached will cause it to occasionally pop off. And lastly, care must be taken on the tank's front wheels: Since they're painted, rolling them in uneven surfaces can cause the paint to chip.

:Shockwave's alternate mode has some rather annoying problems with the treads refusing to straighten out or peg onto his body and front "wheels" securely. As a result, combining him with the action set to form the "Fusion Tank" mode will result in the back treads becoming parallel with the rest of the tank... while the front treads split open and detach from the wheels.

:Like other action sets, Shockwave comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it’s a scene of Chicago under attack. Oddly, the box bio mentions ''Shockwave'''s ability to drill through the ground, with no mention of his [[Driller|friend]].

====Voyager Class toys====
[[File:DOTM_Shockwave_Voyager.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Observation: gun hose. Conclusion: awesome.]]
*'''Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD05'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class [[MechTech]] toys, Shockwave transforms into a purple Cybertronian tank. He has a large, detachable MechTech Battle Cannon on his right arm with a rubber tube which connects to his back, and a removable blade on his left arm. When a button is pushed on the rear of his arm cannon, MechTech gearing opens up the cannon, widening it and exposing more gun barrels. [[C joint]] rungs are located on Shockwave's arm-blade, with one concealed underneath said blade, two on his AstroMag cannon, two more on his backpack, and two more on his feet. Other MechTech weapons can peg into Shockwave's hands, on the barrel of his cannon, and behind each shoulder blade. Due to the nature of his MechTech weapon being integrated with his arm, it is not a prime candidate for swapping with other toys; although it does fit with the Dark of the Moon Voyager Megatron, due to its shape and color.

:The instructions tell you to keep the cannon attached to his right arm in tank mode, though it is possible to stick it in between the arms. This is done by sliding the cannon's bottom in between Shockwave's thumbs. It is fairly stable, matches some stock photography, and makes for a more coherent tank.

:Shockwave's stock photography depicts him in a much, much brighter and bluer purple, while the MechTech lever on the cannon is bright red. Although partly cropped, his packaging photography on the box-front depicts an alternative placement of his gun hose in tank mode, plugging into the port on the side of his rear treads, which actually aligns better than the awkward frontal position depicted in the [[instructions]]; in the box-back. The gun hose in vehicle mode is not shown, but since the picture was taken from a left profile, it could just be covered by the toy itself, reinforcing the alternate placement. The stock photography also depicts Shockwave's hands to be articulated at the wrists, as the right arm in the photo has the hand rotated 90 degrees from the position actually possible with the figure. Many more paint applications are also present in the stock photography, not being limited to the red lever on the cannon, with vents on the vehicle mode being picked out in silver, gold details being present on the hips, and both halves of tread on each side of the body being painted silver. Overall, the colour scheme shown on the box photography is completely different from the actual figure within, with the stock photo's silver being replaced with a metallic lilac on the hands, feet spikes and knees.

:Advertised as "'''SHOCKWAVE with CYBER METAL Armour'''" on the sticker, this Canadian [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack contains a redeco of Shockwave along with an unchanged ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#CyberArmour|Optimus Prime]].

:His purple plastic was changed to dark blue and gray, the lilac was replaced by gray, and the gray on his face cover and feet was replaced by a dark purple, with all the grays being darker and cooler in general. Paint differences include the purple on his crotch being replaced by dark blue, the purple on his shoulders being replaced by metallic lavender, the purple on his feet being replaced by a silver that gradients towards the "toes", the bronze on all three of his "wheel" rims being replaced by pink, the bronze on the sides of his back treads being replaced by a "worn out" silver, the metallic lavender on his knee flaps being replaced by a dark silver, his spiky bumper, thighs, and head lacking paint in favor of having his ribs painted silver, and his treads and aforementioned ribs being painted in a much brighter silver than usual. His MechTech weapon has also been redecoed, with the purple housing and black hose being cast in a brighter, translucent purple plastic, the gray parts also being darker and cooler, the silver paint on the main barrel being replaced by the brighter silver, and the silver paint on the sides being replaced with a ''very'' faint and subtle brownish orange.

**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-plate, hand grenade
:Part of the first wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Kreon]] Warriors, Shockwave has been re-imagined as if he was part of a World War I era fighting force, with tank-kibble deco, a military-style helmet, and a combat knife taking the place of his traditional gun "hand". His "face" deco is very much ''Dark of the Moon'' Shockwave, even if his colors owe more to the [[Shockwave (G1)|original Shockwave]].

:Like all the Kreons released that year (at normal retail at least), he uses the new 2015-tooling Kreon body, which basically involves small construction changes on every part below the head, making them largely incompatible with the prior Kreon parts (heads still work fine), but the new tooling adds some extra functionality and structural support.

:The Kreon Warriors were only released in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. The individual bags had also abandoned any kind of coding that identified the contents. This means getting the one you want from an unopened bag involves either trying to feel out the unique parts, or just buying the whole dang case.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2007game-ShockwaveConcept-ApacheTransform.jpg|thumb|upright=1.25|Being [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] is illogical. Resembling him is logical.]]
*[[Transformers The Game (console)|''Transformers: The Game'']] Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]]. His original flying altmode was to be an {{w|Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Warthog}}, but to reduce the mass discrepancy with the {{w|howitzer}} mode, Christansen changed this to an {{w|Boeing AH-64 Apache|AH-64 Apache}} and bulked up the Howitzer into a made-up "super-howitzer".<ref>[http://badflipblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/tf1-shockwave-01.html TF1 - Shockwave 01:] ...apparently in the Traveler's Tales game design... they had Shockwave as a triple changer. Somehow Hasbro let us have it, and I went to work. Working on mass and trying to keep the ratios consistent on the other drones, I piped up and said no way a Howitzer can change into a Warthog. So I pitched the Apache helicopter, (because they wanted to retain the flying dynamic) with it's very slender body, it could at least be plausible to change into a Howitzer, with a little help..the math came out to the Apache having about 32% more mass than the Howitzer. So I took the opportunity to invent a SUPER Howitzer; to beef up the mass, add a few helicopter armament cues, and pull in some G1 Shockwave character cues, namely the diamond shaped chest elements, to create a more well-rounded three way mode</ref>
*Christansen originally intended TFTG Shockwave to be a dull green, as seen right, but was asked to make him purple for the final version, after attempting a "compromise" black.<ref>[http://badflipblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/tf1-shockwave-03.html TF1 - Shockwave 03:] I had set up Shockwave to be a military green, to match the other military based movie Decepts, but I did get asked to explore the purple. I thought it looked a little silly - OK, a lot silly - being the true purple of G1 lore, so I tried a compromise with a purple based black color...</ref>
*The "Attack Copter", "Recon Chopper" and "Stealth Chopper" [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-]][[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|A-Bot]] vehicle modes from the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS video games]] transform into robot modes bearing some resemblance to Shockwave. The Attack Chopper is the only one that can be customized to appear purple, though.
*The photo on the newspaper article in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is of [[:Image:Shockwaveministatue.jpg|Palisades's statue]] of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]], with something digitally added in the foreground.
*Promotion for ''Dark of the Moon'' heavily touted Shockwave as the new main villain of the film, presumably to conceal [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s unexpected betrayal halfway through the movie. Media coverage often described Shockwave as the ruler of Cybertron while the other Transformers were fighting on Earth,<ref name="pushpops">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-plot-summary-revealed-170756/ "Transformers 3 Plot Summary Revealed"], TFW2005, October 2010.</ref> and while IDW's comics would toy with this idea a little bit, it had no bearing on his depiction in the film. It's generally thought to have been a {{w|Chinese whispers|chinese whisper}} that resulted from mainstream media independently researching the character and reporting information on his [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]] (though that didn't stop its inclusion in the ''official plot summary'' from Paramount's German branch, which also claimed that Shockwave was the robot inside the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' in the trailer).<ref name="germansite">[http://www.transformers3-film.de/ Official German DOTM site] including faulty plot summary.</ref>
*In what was presumably an attempt to hide his finalized movie design, Shockwave appeared in IDW's prequel comic with an alternate Cybertronian body with a jet alternate mode before being badly damaged at the end of ''Rising Storm'', necessitating his reconstruction into his movie form. While his toy transforms into a tank, he never transforms in either the film or the video game.
[[File:ShockwaveBoxartFace.jpg|thumb|150px|right|"Logically, I must gnaw your head off."]]
*Bucking tradition, this Shockwave has a mouth.
*In contrast to his highly promoted nature and major presence in the movie comics, Shockwave receives minimal screentime in the finished film, with only one understandable line of dialogue (snarling Optimus's name at Chernobyl). As with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] in the first film, and multiple characters in the second, he emits a lot of gnashing, gurgling noises that could be mistakenly interpreted as dialogue if one strains hard to hear something in them—one of his snarls to the Driller before it dives into the skyscraper, for instance, sounds sort of like "Commence". As happened with [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD, the subtitle writer misinterpreted one of Shockwave's snarls as the hilarious sentence, "Driller-bot is thirsty".
*[[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]'s original voice actor, [[Corey Burton]] had no desire to return to the role for ''Dark of the Moon'', explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement". He noted that the inspiration for his Shockwave voice, {{w|David Warner (actor)|David Warner}}, was rumored to have been considered,<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref> but in the end, Shockwave's almost-entirely-wordless-snarl-based role went to Frank Welker. There's a nice touch of symmetry in the casting, with Welker taking over a Burton-originated role not long after Burton took on a Welker-originated character in [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]].
*Hasbro's online bio for Shockwave claims he had spent decades trapped under Chernobyl, but this was not reflected in any actual media; both the video game and ''Rising Storm'' comics have him held at a different Russian facility from which he is freed shortly before the film's events, and the film itself doesn't give any indication that his appearance at Chernobyl in its opening scenes is an "escape" of any kind.
*Shockwave's AstroMag cannon is a reference to [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Notes|the original Shockwave's]] toy mold being first released by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]". Though described as a particle or laser cannon in most related ''Dark of the Moon'' media, it appears to be some variety of cluster missile launcher in the movie proper.
*Select [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US had a promotion for a Shockwave poster with the purchase of any [[Transformers brand]] [[toy]] from [[June 5]], 2011 to [[June 11]], 2011.
[[File:DOTM-Shock TLK-Nitro head comp.jpg|thumb|250px|right|"Logically, ''we'' must gnaw your head off."]]
*Early artwork for Shockwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' showed '''Blitzwing''' as a working name for the character, obviously an attempt to hide his identity during production.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Shockwave's appearance in a [[Burger King]] commercial that depicts him fighting Optimus Prime does not depict any scene in the film. Rather, the animation places Shockwave's model over Sentinel Prime's motions during part of his own fight against Optimus.
*Shockwave's model is reused for the "[[Two Head]]"s from ''Age of Extinction'', with the biggest differences being a second one-horned head and the lack of an arm cannon.
*Shockwave's head design is also reused for [[Nitro Zeus]], hence the reason Shockwave is mentioned in his bio.
*Shockwave's design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by his Generation 1 [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]].

[[Image:RoS4 Beta drone.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]

Drones have often been used on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] for manual labor. It was [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] who first put drones to use in the military when he had drones upgraded and refitted for combat. The '''Class Beta drones''' are combat-ready warriors specializing in land combat. [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] has been put in charge of the drone army.

==Fiction==
===IDW ''Transformers'' movie comics===
Class Beta drones were deployed to battle [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s team of Autobots at [[Simfur Temple]] where the Decepticons believed the [[AllSpark]] was being held. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} After it turned out the Autobots had moved the AllSpark and fired it into space, Class Beta drones were part of the crew of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s [[Nemesis (Movie)|ship]] that pursued both the relic and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to the [[Eshems Nebula]]. They were forced to turn back for repairs when the ship was damaged by an Autobot concussion chain. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

[[File:Dronesdefendreignofstarscream3.jpeg|thumb|left|upright=1.75]]
After Megatron was killed and the AllSpark destroyed during the battle of [[Mission City]] on [[Earth]], Starscream returned to [[Mars (planet)|Mars]]. While he was recuperating, a team of Autobots attacked, and drones, including Class Betas, were activated to defend the ship. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}}

Class Beta drones were among those assigned to guard the Autobot slaves who were being forced to build the new Cube. They brutally punished [[Warpath (Movie)|Warpath]] when he saw to the exhausted [[Grindcore (Movie)|Grindcore]]. Later, after the new AllSpark was completed, Payload arrived leading a team of drones carrying the massive generators required to drain the [[Spark|life force]] out of the Autobot prisoners and put it into the Cube. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}}

[[Flatline (ROTF)|Flatline]] utilized both Class Alpha Drone units and Class Beta Drone units as security on his ship. He deployed them to stop [[The Twins|his]] [[Arcee (Movie)|experiments]] from running wild, but they were unsuccessful. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 6|Tales of the Fallen #6}}

Their primary attack is an unstoppable running charge that can send even the likes of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] reeling. The only way to break them out of this attack is to nail them with a thrown object or melee attack when they briefly pause between charges.

Payloads also appear in the bonus [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] levels on both sides.

Aside from the aforementioned head differences, Decepticon Payloads are dark blue, while the Autobot versions are silver-white. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Payload's body frame has been shown in numerous forms: his Armored Truck mode, the Peace Van, the Moving Truck, the School Bus, the Ice Cream Truck, the Death Truck, the Funky Bus, the SWAT Van, and the Prison Bus. They all use the Decepticon lens head. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons}}

*'''Payload''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-17'''

: The [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] toy could stand in for any Class Beta drone.

: Payload transforms into a [http://www.alpineco.com/armored/swat/bulldog-x2.php Bulldog II Armored Truck] model based on the Decepticon-drone coloration and face type. In robot mode, his midsection has a large push-out grabber-claw that extends waaaaaaaaaaaaay far out. However, in order to do this, the claw-shaft sticks far out of his back in robot mode, making posing and display in narrow spaces difficult. It also makes him hard to balance.

: Several pieces on Payload tend to pop off easily: his brush guard, midriff-plate/claw-center, and even his upper shoulder/head assembly. The mold was later retooled to include larger pegs for the shoulder/head assembly and an added tab on the brushguard, to connect to the new slot in the claw plunger. While this was intended to give the pieces a better fit, it actually puts more pressure on the parts and causes them to pop off even more easily. The chest piece, however, fits fairly well on either version but is still easy to remove.

: Payload had a tendency to [[Shelfwarmer|sit on shelves]] for weeks, with some examples of end displays filled completely with Payload figures. This has led to some fans affectionately renaming him as ''Pegload''.

: In the [[3D Battle-Card Game]], the Payload is on the Decepticon side. Pieces punched out from two different cards can be assembled to form a SWAT truck or a robot, while a third double-sided card gives its stats and attacks for each mode. He uses the same piece layout as [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]], though his lens-head peeking up over the back end of his vehicle mode looks less doofy than Ratchet's does. This layout was later also used for [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]]. Payload's card art was done by [[Lucio Parrillo]].

==Notes==
* Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Payload (and the subsequent Class Beta drone units), along with the other new characters in the [[Transformers The Game|''Transformers'' - The Game]] and [[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' - The Game]] video games. The security company logos on his design and the toy, "Armored Security Systems", spells out "ASS". Christian says this was [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/tf1-armored-truck-drone.html not intentional].
* The Class Beta drone units were named as such in the bonus material of the [[Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream]] trade paperback.

[[File:ShockwaveDOTMgamepromo.jpg|thumb|upright=1.8|[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s most bewildering foe: the faceless!]]
'''Shockwave''' was left to watch [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] long ago, but he would eventually follow the call of the [[AllSpark]] to [[Earth]]. Deadly efficient with a cold devotion to logic, Shockwave is a killing machine like few others, one of the very few who could rival Megatron, and quite popular amongst the Decepticons. In a way, [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|some]] respect him enough to willingly work with him, while [[Nitro Zeus|others]] idolize him to the point of avenging his death. Nevertheless, Shockwave is ready and willing to destroy whichever Autobots dare stand in his way with his arm-mounted [[Astro Magnum|AstroMag Cannon]].

At some point during 2009, Shockwave was caught on film and the event was written up for a newspaper article.

[[File:DOTM - ShockwaveDriller.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|"We have wormsign."]]
Shockwave and his pet [[Driller]] attacked the Autobots when they were summoned to [[Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant|Chernobyl]] by the Decepticon agent [[Alexi Voskhod]]. This was done as an act of misdirection to ensure that the Autobots did not realize that the Decepticons actually wanted them to find the fuel cell from the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]] located within the facility. After Optimus retrieved the fuel cell from the Driller, Shockwave emerged from it to reveal himself to Optimus, and the pair quickly retreated underground, leaving Optimus very disturbed to see Shockwave on Earth.

[[File:DOTM-Shockwavecloseup.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|The four tall tales of Robodian the one-eyed jerk.]]
Later, Shockwave took part in the invasion of [[Chicago]]. He and the Driller emerged from beneath the convoy of Autobots, and the Driller separated Optimus from his trailer. Shockwave left the Driller and proceeded to track down the Autobots. The [[Wrecker]]s were sent to distract him, peppering his armor with fire from their machine-guns. He used a car as a shield and fired at them, and once they drove off, he menacingly began to pursue them down the road, missing the two small Autobots, [[Wheelie (ROTF)|Wheelie]] and [[Brains]], who quickly fled.

[[File:830px-Dotm-shockwave&driller-film-chicago.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|Wanna pet my worm?]]
Later, he noticed humans inside a building, and sent his Driller into the fray to topple a building and kill [[Sam Witwicky]], [[Carly Spencer]], [[Robert Epps]], and the other humans inside. However, the beast was killed by Optimus Prime using his flight gear. Enraged by the death of his pet, Shockwave opened fire on the Autobot leader, briefly disabling him and taking him out of the fight.

[[File:DOTM-OptimusShockwave.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Welcome to the refinery.]]
He soon joined [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] in rounding up the other Autobots. Brains and Wheelie forestalled the Decepticons from further executing their prisoners by taking control of a Decepticon gunship, and dropping [[Orbital Assault Carrier|fighters]] onto the battlefield. Shockwave retreated further away with Barricade and some other Decepticons, but the human soldiers had set a trap and fired upon them. Shockwave's face was obscured by one of their parachutes, and his eye was then shot out by the Wreckers, causing it to dangle by its wires. He then attempted to escape, but Optimus Prime came charging back into the battle, and when Shockwave fired at him, the Autobot dodged the shot, donned a set of [[knuckle-spikes]], and punched Shockwave so hard that part of his abdomen shattered. Even ''this'' did not put Shockwave down, but Prime did not give up - he punched Shockwave again, pinned the Decepticon down and tore his dangling eye out through his throat, finally killing the bloodthirsty Decepticon. Optimus then used Shockwave's cannon to shoot out the control pillar set up in the city. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:Foundation1-Shockwavedoesntlikeit.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"'''Your star burns!''' I require frozen treats."]]
Eons after the [[Dynasty of Primes]] were vanquished, Cybertron fell into dark times. The [[AllSpark]] had been buried somewhere within Cybertron and been dismissed as a legend, and the planet itself lacked a star to orbit. As energy became more and more scarce, Cybertronians segregated into tribes. Shockwave chose to rally behind [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], who claimed to be descended from [[Primus]] himself. However, he faced opposition from the non-believer [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]], and Shockwave joined [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], and several others in repelling their attacks. Ultimately, Sentinel Prime won the day, as he and [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] were successful in locating the lost AllSpark and harnessing a new sun to orbit. This, however, did not please Shockwave. Now that the war was over, he was dissatisfied, and he no longer knew his purpose. This shocked his old friend, Megatron, and Shockwave explained that it was the journey he enjoyed, not the destination. Plus, well, that new sun was kind of bright. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

The next day, Megatron detailed to Shockwave how he had eavesdropped on a conversation between Sentinel and Optimus, where Sentinel had tried to pass on leadership to Optimus, who refused, unable to accept he was also a Prime. At the outskirts of [[Thetacon (polity)|Thetacon]], they encountered a [[Driller]], a subterranean lifeform that had been brought to the planet's surface by the new energy flowing through it, which was attacking a group of [[Hatchling]]s and their protector [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. Shockwave was amazed by the creature and called it "magnificent". After besting it, he joined the Cybertronian [[Defense Force]] that Sentinel placed under Megatron's command, rooting out dissident Transformers. {{storylink|Foundation issue 2|Foundation #2}}

After the war broke out he joined the Decepticons. As Starscream was asking what to do next minutes before the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] went to space, Shockwave told him that they would obey Megatron's orders without any question. {{storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} When the Autobots attacked [[Simfur Temple]], Shockwave attempted to apprehend [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]], but with no success. When Starscream blew up the [[Ark (DOTM)|ship]] carrying Sentinel and his [[pillar|secret weapon]], Shockwave ordered the annihilation of the retreating Autobots, but Megatron made him stand down, gleefully predicting Optimus would return with a vengeance. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

Shockwave returned with Megatron to his [[Lord High Protector citadel|citadel]] during Optimus's revenge attack. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}} Shockwave asked Megatron if he could kill Optimus Prime and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] after they had been stuck by the [[smelting pool]], but Megatron was disappointed by Shockwave's lack of vision. {{Storylink|Foundation issue 3|Foundation #3}} Optimus got inside to fight Megatron, while Starscream and Shockwave attempted to kill their former comrade Ironhide. Suddenly, the skies darkened: the Autobots had attacked the citadel to distract the Decepticons from their true goal of stealing the AllSpark from the temple. Optimus blasted Starscream and Shockwave, and the two Autobots escaped. {{storylink|Foundation issue 4|Foundation #4}}

[[File:RisingStorm2-ShockwaveAllSpark.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]] Some time later, after the Autobots sent the All Spark into space, Starscream left Shockwave in charge of the Decepticons still on Cybertron as he went in search of his prize. During a battle with a team of Autobots, Shockwave heard the scream of the AllSpark when it was found by [[Sector Seven]]. Leaving [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] in charge of the Decepticons on Cybertron, Shockwave set out in an impossibly fast ship, swearing not to return without the AllSpark. He crashed in [[Tunguska]], [[Siberia]] in [[1908]].<ref>''Rising Storm'' issue 2 reveals that Shockwave caused the mysterious real-life [[Tunguska event]].</ref> He remained buried there in [[stasis lock]], healing until [[Soviet Union|Soviet Russia]] found him ten years later. Using stolen research from the U.S., who had found Megatron the same way, the Russians reverse-engineered his technology to invent nuclear power plants. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}} {{storylink|Frozen}}

There were no digital records of Shockwave's existence, and the physical documents pertaining to him were lost, burned, shredded or stolen in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. The Siberian facility was abandoned and Shockwave was left forgotten. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}}

[[File:RisingStorm_Shockwave_and_astrotrain.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Astrotrain, go away. You're spoiling the G1 ambiance around me."]]
Soundwave discovered the satirical article and its photograph, and deduced it was based on stolen Soviet documents. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 4}} In [[2010]], Megatron freed Shockwave and brought him to his "base" in [[Namibia]], where he was eager to get back to killing Autobots as soon as possible. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 2|Rising Storm #2}}

Shockwave and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)|Astrotrain]] made their presence known on Earth near [[Dalian]], [[China]], where they quickly disposed of the Autobots [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and stole material for a mysterious construction project.

Shockwave began following the exploits of Earth's stranded Transformers from afar, and derided its war's combatants as idiots after watching a skirmish in [[California]]. After contacting Astrotrain for an update on their project, he tracked [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]]'s radiation trail back to Starscream's current base of operations, in a junkyard on the outskirts of [[Mexico City]]. Blasting his way through the Decepticons unwise enough to try defending Starscream, Shockwave informed the treacherous air commander that Megatron had "requested his services." Before the conversation could go any further, Astrotrain radioed Shockwave with some bad news: the "[[Brains|brain unit]]" scrap drone that held the control software for the machine he was constructing had escaped. Shockwave charged Starscream and his followers with recovering the drone. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 1|Rising Storm #1}}

[[File:Risingstorm_3_shockwave_on_NEST.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Shock blast!]]
Shockwave contacted an angry Starscream who thought he was promised the Autobots would be occupied. Shockwave countered that they were occupied, but, you know, with Starscream, leaving Shockwave free to leave a message for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] at the [[NEST]] Headquarters in [[Diego Garcia]]. After killing [[Knock Out (ROTF)|Knock Out]], [[Dune Runner (ROTF)|Dune Runner]], and other Autobots who stood in his way, Shockwave confronted the trembling humans left to fend for themselves. When Shockwave asked who was in command, [[Theodore Galloway]] told him that he was. Shockwave killed Galloway and the other humans save one, and he asked his question one more time. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 3|Rising Storm #3}}

After killing [[Jolt (ROTF)|Jolt]], he and [[Fearswoop (ROTF)|Fearswoop]] left Diego Garcia, then he arrived in [[Philadelphia]] killing [[Elita-One (Movie)|Elita-One]] in the process and shot down [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] and [[Mirage (Movie)|Mirage]]. Enraged by the death of Elita-One and the other Autobots, Optimus Prime battled Shockwave, quickly overpowering him and brutally pummeling the sadistic Decepticon. Prime was about to kill Shockwave, till Shockwave's [[Driller|"pet"]] came to save his master. The badly damaged Shockwave returned to Namibia along Starscream and Soundwave. {{storylink|Rising Storm issue 4|Rising Storm #4}}

Under the orders of Starscream, Shockwave attacked [[Tranquility]] in an effort to interfere with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s attempt to rescue [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] from [[Sector Seven]]. Prime actually had a grip on the helicopter net that held Bumblebee, but the force of Shockwave's entry mode's impact knocked him off, allowing Sector Seven to get away.

[[File:Tf2007console shockwave turret.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|Death Cannon OF LOGIC!]]
Landing in downtown, the [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] Shockwave adopted a helicopter and an artillery emplacement as his alternate modes, promptly transforming into the latter and lobbing explosives around the city. Prime, forced to cut off his rescue, charged in and pounded Shockwave until the goliath transformed and retreated to another position. Prime doggedly kept at Shockwave, following him every time he retreated, eventually defeating the Decepticon and saving Tranquility. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)}}

Later, when the Autobots returned to Cybertron, Shockwave appeared on the planet alongside (and presumably leading) an army of Decepticon drones. Optimus quickly defeated the drones and once more defeated Shockwave.

[[File:Shockwave movie psp.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|He makes up for his loss of weapons by being the most awesome character in the game. It is only logical.]]

The massive Shockwave might ''look'' like he's purely about muscle and firepower, but he's actually remarkably shrewd and cunning. Coveting the position of Decepticon leader for himself, Shockwave has been working to oust Megatron for years. As you might imagine, he and Starscream don't get along very well.

When the Decepticons arrived on Earth in search of their lost leader, Megatron, Shockwave adopted a tank as his alternate mode. Shockwave was supposed to join [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] in his attack on the [[SOCCENT Forward Operations Base]] in [[Qatar]], but instead busied himself surrepticiously searching for leads to the location of the [[AllSpark]]. After receiving a communique from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who informed him that the Autobots were on Earth and had discovered their own leads to the location of Megatron, Shockwave had [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] airlift him to Qatar, where he helped Blackout take care of the last few military units opposing him. He relayed Frenzy's message to Blackout, then departed for the Arctic with Thundercracker, intending to investigate the site where Megatron's body was discovered.

In the Arctic, Shockwave and Thundercracker faced resistance from an Autobot unit in the area, but fought their way through them to discover that Megatron's body had been moved by [[Sector Seven]]. The trip was not a wasted one, however: after scanning a computer terminal in the cavern, Shockwave discovered that Megatron had brought an army of drones with him to Earth to help in the search for the All Spark. These drones were presently lying dormant all over the Earth, and Shockwave schemed to reactivate them so that they could serve him as his personal army. The signal required to reanimated the drones had to be broadcast from a great height, so Shockwave and Thundercracker quickly made their way to a rocket launch site, where Shockwave programmed the code into a rocket that subsequently beamed the signal down over the Earth from space. Drones sprang to life all over the planet, and began attacking the Autobots. Shockwave's control of his
self-made army was short lived, however, as Autobots [[Trailbreaker (Movie)|Trailbreaker]] and [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] successfully transmitted a virus that shut the drones down. Simultaneously, Shockwave received another message from Frenzy that the he had discovered the location of Megatron, and that the Decepticon leader was about to reawaken.

After the Autobots defeated Megatron and most of the other Decepticons in battle in [[Center City]], Shockwave retreated back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], as did Starscream. Back on their homeworld, Shockwave and Starscream faced off for leadership of the Decepticons, with Starscream ultimately claiming victory. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game (PSP)}}

Shockwave had crashed on Earth thousands of years ago and fell into stasis mode. He was later discovered by the Russians and a facility was built to contain him, where he was frozen to prevent him from waking up.

Three years after Megatron was wounded, the Decepticons took refuge in that same Russian facility to repair themselves. His leader [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] decided to release him, since he was needed for the upcoming operation. The base came under fire, however, thanks to Starscream leading the [[Autobot]]s straight to Megatron. The 'Cons abandoned base and left Shockwave and his [[Driller]] to thaw out.

[[File:Transformers DOTM Shockwave Game.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.66|Give me your fac—er, I mean eye!]]
Optimus discovered Shockwave and ordered [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] to activate more freeze tanks to keep him frozen. Unfortunately, Shockwave's [[Driller|pet]] awoke from its slumber, and lashed out at the intruders. The attempts to keep him frozen eventually failed, and Shockwave woke up and decided to destroy the Autobot leader. Years under stasis meant that he wasn't fully combat ready, and it was something Optimus took advantage of when he attacked the Decepticon assassin. Shockwave soon managed to fully recover and lashed out at Prime with everything he had. Autobot reinforcements arrived to help in Optimus' assault, but were dispatched quite easily. During their skirmish, Optimus Prime (with a little help from Ratchet) deduced his weak spot as the three cylinder-shaped generators mounted on his back. With this knowledge, Optimus Prime was then able to take down Shockwave with his jetpack/machinegun upgrades, until the Driller decided to intervene, and blocked off the shots while retreating with its master.

Shortly after, Shockwave met up with Megatron, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] in Nambia, Africa. He was ordered to find a device in a nuclear power plant called Chernobyl. Shockwave agreed, and Megatron told him and the others of Operation Pillar... {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)|Dark of the Moon (Xbox 360/PS3)}}

**''Series:'' '''1'''
**''Number:'' '''006'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''CV19'''
**''Accessories:'' Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade, missile, Chicago

:The [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] Commander class Shockwave is cast in a lighter purple than his Voyager class figure. Like that larger toy, he transforms into a Cybertronian tank, and features a removable cannon, blade, and hose. He also has a [[Fusion Tank add-on|back component]] that attaches to his vehicle to form a "Fusion Tank," and that can separately transform into "Ground Weapon" and "Battle Base" modes. For safety reasons, his knee spikes is molded in rubbery plastic. Likewise, his chest ribs is also molded with the same soft plastic, but unfortunately, it could be occasionally loose. Also, due to the hose's slightly short length, raising the shoulder-mounted cannon in a firing position with the hose attached will cause it to occasionally pop off. And lastly, care must be taken on the tank's front wheels: Since they're painted, rolling them in uneven surfaces can cause the paint to chip.

:Shockwave's alternate mode has some rather annoying problems with the treads refusing to straighten out or peg onto his body and front "wheels" securely. As a result, combining him with the action set to form the "Fusion Tank" mode will result in the back treads becoming parallel with the rest of the tank... while the front treads split open and detach from the wheels.

:Like other action sets, Shockwave comes with a cardboard backdrop. In his case, it’s a scene of Chicago under attack. Oddly, the box bio mentions ''Shockwave'''s ability to drill through the ground, with no mention of his [[Driller|friend]].

====Voyager Class toys====
[[File:DOTM_Shockwave_Voyager.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Observation: gun hose. Conclusion: awesome.]]
*'''Shockwave''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DD05'''
**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class [[MechTech]] toys, Shockwave transforms into a purple Cybertronian tank. He has a large, detachable MechTech Battle Cannon on his right arm with a rubber tube which connects to his back, and a removable blade on his left arm. When a button is pushed on the rear of his arm cannon, MechTech gearing opens up the cannon, widening it and exposing more gun barrels. [[C joint]] rungs are located on Shockwave's arm-blade, with one concealed underneath said blade, two on his AstroMag cannon, two more on his backpack, and two more on his feet. Other MechTech weapons can peg into Shockwave's hands, on the barrel of his cannon, and behind each shoulder blade. Due to the nature of his MechTech weapon being integrated with his arm, it is not a prime candidate for swapping with other toys; although it does fit with the Dark of the Moon Voyager Megatron, due to its shape and color.

:The instructions tell you to keep the cannon attached to his right arm in tank mode, though it is possible to stick it in between the arms. This is done by sliding the cannon's bottom in between Shockwave's thumbs. It is fairly stable, matches some stock photography, and makes for a more coherent tank.

:Shockwave's stock photography depicts him in a much, much brighter and bluer purple, while the MechTech lever on the cannon is bright red. Although partly cropped, his packaging photography on the box-front depicts an alternative placement of his gun hose in tank mode, plugging into the port on the side of his rear treads, which actually aligns better than the awkward frontal position depicted in the [[instructions]]; in the box-back. The gun hose in vehicle mode is not shown, but since the picture was taken from a left profile, it could just be covered by the toy itself, reinforcing the alternate placement. The stock photography also depicts Shockwave's hands to be articulated at the wrists, as the right arm in the photo has the hand rotated 90 degrees from the position actually possible with the figure. Many more paint applications are also present in the stock photography, not being limited to the red lever on the cannon, with vents on the vehicle mode being picked out in silver, gold details being present on the hips, and both halves of tread on each side of the body being painted silver. Overall, the colour scheme shown on the box photography is completely different from the actual figure within, with the stock photo's silver being replaced with a metallic lilac on the hands, feet spikes and knees.

**''Accessories:'' [[MechTech]] Battle Cannon/Particle Wave Blaster, rubber hose, arm blade

:Advertised as "'''SHOCKWAVE with CYBER METAL Armour'''" on the sticker, this Canadian [[Costco]]-[[exclusive]] two-pack contains a redeco of Shockwave along with an unchanged ''Dark of the Moon'' Voyager class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#CyberArmour|Optimus Prime]].

:His purple plastic was changed to dark blue and gray, the lilac was replaced by gray, and the gray on his face cover and feet was replaced by a dark purple, with all the grays being darker and cooler in general. Paint differences include the purple on his crotch being replaced by dark blue, the purple on his shoulders being replaced by metallic lavender, the purple on his feet being replaced by a silver that gradients towards the "toes", the bronze on all three of his "wheel" rims being replaced by pink, the bronze on the sides of his back treads being replaced by a "worn out" silver, the metallic lavender on his knee flaps being replaced by a dark silver, his spiky bumper, thighs, and head lacking paint in favor of having his ribs painted silver, and his treads and aforementioned ribs being painted in a much brighter silver than usual. His MechTech weapon has also been redecoed, with the purple housing and black hose being cast in a brighter, translucent purple plastic, the gray parts also being darker and cooler, the silver paint on the main barrel being replaced by the brighter silver, and the silver paint on the sides being replaced with a ''very'' faint and subtle brownish orange.

**''Set number'': '''B0945'''
**''Collection'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': Stand-plate, hand grenade
:Part of the first wave of ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Kreon]] Warriors, Shockwave has been re-imagined as if he was part of a World War I era fighting force, with tank-kibble deco, a military-style helmet, and a combat knife taking the place of his traditional gun "hand". His "face" deco is very much ''Dark of the Moon'' Shockwave, even if his colors owe more to the [[Shockwave (G1)|original Shockwave]].

:Like all the Kreons released that year (at normal retail at least), he uses the new 2015-tooling Kreon body, which basically involves small construction changes on every part below the head, making them largely incompatible with the prior Kreon parts (heads still work fine), but the new tooling adds some extra functionality and structural support.

:The Kreon Warriors were only released in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. The individual bags had also abandoned any kind of coding that identified the contents. This means getting the one you want from an unopened bag involves either trying to feel out the unique parts, or just buying the whole dang case.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2007game-ShockwaveConcept-ApacheTransform.jpg|thumb|upright=1.25|Being [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] is illogical. Resembling him is logical.]]
*[[Transformers The Game (console)|''Transformers: The Game'']] Shockwave was designed by artist [[Ken Christiansen]]. His original flying altmode was to be an {{w|Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Warthog}}, but to reduce the mass discrepancy with the {{w|howitzer}} mode, Christansen changed this to an {{w|Boeing AH-64 Apache|AH-64 Apache}} and bulked up the Howitzer into a made-up "super-howitzer".<ref>[http://badflipblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/tf1-shockwave-01.html TF1 - Shockwave 01:] ...apparently in the Traveler's Tales game design... they had Shockwave as a triple changer. Somehow Hasbro let us have it, and I went to work. Working on mass and trying to keep the ratios consistent on the other drones, I piped up and said no way a Howitzer can change into a Warthog. So I pitched the Apache helicopter, (because they wanted to retain the flying dynamic) with it's very slender body, it could at least be plausible to change into a Howitzer, with a little help..the math came out to the Apache having about 32% more mass than the Howitzer. So I took the opportunity to invent a SUPER Howitzer; to beef up the mass, add a few helicopter armament cues, and pull in some G1 Shockwave character cues, namely the diamond shaped chest elements, to create a more well-rounded three way mode</ref>
*Christansen originally intended TFTG Shockwave to be a dull green, as seen right, but was asked to make him purple for the final version, after attempting a "compromise" black.<ref>[http://badflipblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/tf1-shockwave-03.html TF1 - Shockwave 03:] I had set up Shockwave to be a military green, to match the other military based movie Decepts, but I did get asked to explore the purple. I thought it looked a little silly - OK, a lot silly - being the true purple of G1 lore, so I tried a compromise with a purple based black color...</ref>
*The "Attack Copter", "Recon Chopper" and "Stealth Chopper" [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Create-]][[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|A-Bot]] vehicle modes from the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Nintendo DS video games]] transform into robot modes bearing some resemblance to Shockwave. The Attack Chopper is the only one that can be customized to appear purple, though.
*The photo on the newspaper article in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is of [[:Image:Shockwaveministatue.jpg|Palisades's statue]] of [[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]], with something digitally added in the foreground.
*Promotion for ''Dark of the Moon'' heavily touted Shockwave as the new main villain of the film, presumably to conceal [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]'s unexpected betrayal halfway through the movie. Media coverage often described Shockwave as the ruler of Cybertron while the other Transformers were fighting on Earth,<ref name="pushpops">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/transformers-3-plot-summary-revealed-170756/ "Transformers 3 Plot Summary Revealed"], TFW2005, October 2010.</ref> and while IDW's comics would toy with this idea a little bit, it had no bearing on his depiction in the film. It's generally thought to have been a {{w|Chinese whispers|chinese whisper}} that resulted from mainstream media independently researching the character and reporting information on his [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]] (though that didn't stop its inclusion in the ''official plot summary'' from Paramount's German branch, which also claimed that Shockwave was the robot inside the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'' in the trailer).<ref name="germansite">[http://www.transformers3-film.de/ Official German DOTM site] including faulty plot summary.</ref>
*In what was presumably an attempt to hide his finalized movie design, Shockwave appeared in IDW's prequel comic with an alternate Cybertronian body with a jet alternate mode before being badly damaged at the end of ''Rising Storm'', necessitating his reconstruction into his movie form. While his toy transforms into a tank, he never transforms in either the film or the video game.
[[File:ShockwaveBoxartFace.jpg|thumb|150px|right|"Logically, I must gnaw your head off."]]
*Bucking tradition, this Shockwave has a mouth.
*In contrast to his highly promoted nature and major presence in the movie comics, Shockwave receives minimal screentime in the finished film, with only one understandable line of dialogue (snarling Optimus's name at Chernobyl). As with [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] in the first film, and multiple characters in the second, he emits a lot of gnashing, gurgling noises that could be mistakenly interpreted as dialogue if one strains hard to hear something in them—one of his snarls to the Driller before it dives into the skyscraper, for instance, sounds sort of like "Commence". As happened with [[Mixmaster (ROTF)|Mixmaster]] on the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' DVD, the subtitle writer misinterpreted one of Shockwave's snarls as the hilarious sentence, "Driller-bot is thirsty".
*[[Shockwave (G1)|Generation 1 Shockwave]]'s original voice actor, [[Corey Burton]] had no desire to return to the role for ''Dark of the Moon'', explaining "[I] have practically no interest in that kind of mega-budget movie enterprise involvement". He noted that the inspiration for his Shockwave voice, {{w|David Warner (actor)|David Warner}}, was rumored to have been considered,<ref>[http://www.coreyburton.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2707&highlight=#2707 Corey Burton's message board post.]</ref> but in the end, Shockwave's almost-entirely-wordless-snarl-based role went to Frank Welker. There's a nice touch of symmetry in the casting, with Welker taking over a Burton-originated role not long after Burton took on a Welker-originated character in [[Megatron (Animated)|''Animated'' Megatron]].
*Hasbro's online bio for Shockwave claims he had spent decades trapped under Chernobyl, but this was not reflected in any actual media; both the video game and ''Rising Storm'' comics have him held at a different Russian facility from which he is freed shortly before the film's events, and the film itself doesn't give any indication that his appearance at Chernobyl in its opening scenes is an "escape" of any kind.
*Shockwave's AstroMag cannon is a reference to [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Notes|the original Shockwave's]] toy mold being first released by ToyCo as the "[http://www.robot-japan.com/Gallery/Takara/Transformers/G1/AstroMagnum/Toybox-Astro-Magnum.asp 4 Changeable Astro Magnum]". Though described as a particle or laser cannon in most related ''Dark of the Moon'' media, it appears to be some variety of cluster missile launcher in the movie proper.
*Select [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US had a promotion for a Shockwave poster with the purchase of any [[Transformers brand]] [[toy]] from [[June 5]], 2011 to [[June 11]], 2011.
[[File:DOTM-Shock TLK-Nitro head comp.jpg|thumb|250px|right|"Logically, ''we'' must gnaw your head off."]]
*Early artwork for Shockwave for ''Dark of the Moon'' showed '''Blitzwing''' as a working name for the character, obviously an attempt to hide his identity during production.<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>
*Shockwave's appearance in a [[Burger King]] commercial that depicts him fighting Optimus Prime does not depict any scene in the film. Rather, the animation places Shockwave's model over Sentinel Prime's motions during part of his own fight against Optimus.
*Shockwave's model is reused for the "[[Two Head]]"s from ''Age of Extinction'', with the biggest differences being a second one-horned head and the lack of an arm cannon.
*Shockwave's head design is also reused for [[Nitro Zeus]], hence the reason Shockwave is mentioned in his bio.
*Shockwave's design in ''Bumblebee'' is heavily inspired by his Generation 1 [[Shockwave (G1)|namesake]].

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}
Dropkick was one of a number of Decepticons who responded to [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s signal and came to Earth. He admired the alternate form he'd chosen for its primitive elegance. After Starscream enlisted the help of the [[Human Accessory Force]], Dropkick helped them raid a [[Zambia]]n dam construction site, confronting [[Ghiwa|Major Ghiwa]], whom he was disappointed to realize was not armed, and therefore not much sport. He tried to do a trick with a piece of fencing to entrap the Major, but it didn't work as he'd hoped.

When Autobots responded to the Decepticon activities, Dropkick, [[Macerator (ROTF)|Macerator]] and [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] lured them into the Zambezi River. Dropkick attempted to keep Ratchet distracted as they were pulled downstream towards Victoria Falls, but the plan didn't work as well as hoped, and he retreated with a damaged arm. The Decepticon trio next went to cause havoc at Kariba dam. The Autobots, however, followed them. Optimus rammed Macerator and Dropkick, the latter of whom found himself wrestling with [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]]. After Macerator was terminated by Optimus, and Payload was lost in the waters released from the dam, Starscream ordered Dropkick to retreat. Dropkick fled, though not without being stung by [[Kaminari Ishihara]]'s [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] gun. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

==Games==
===''Transformers: The Game'' (console)===
Hordes of identical Dropkick units are used by both the Autobot and Decepticon armies. Decepticons are blue like Blowpipe with a lens-face, while Autobot versions are red like Salvage and have a facemask with individual optics. They are protected from most artillery by energy shields in robot mode ([[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout's]] EMP bombs can penetrate the shields & damages them easily), and are fond of throwing stuff at foes rather than getting in with melee attacks.

Dropkicks are most commonly found in [[Tranquility|urban missions]], but pop up for certain sub-missions in other areas as well. {{Storylink|Transformers The Game (console)}}

*'''Dropkick''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Claw/plier weapon
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MD-18'''

: Dropkick transforms into a customized {{w|Chevrolet Silverado}} pickup truck (or a similar model just different enough to avoid paying a licensing fee). His hood and roof feature a fairly cleverly done gigantic Decepticon symbol. His flatbed cover conceals a giant claw/plier deployed from the tailgate by a sliding knob on top. This assembly becomes a hand-held weapon for his robot mode. He also has (non-firing) twin blasters on the underside of each forearm in robot mode.

: Unlike most of the other "drone" toys, Dropkick does not use the Decepticon "lens-face", instead going with a new, more complicated face design with a visor. (It is ''not'' the Autobot face from the game, but it is similar.)

:This mold was later [[redeco]]ed as the Autobot [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]] and ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Blowpipe (ROTF)|Blowpipe]].

:Standing at approximately 5-inches, Power Dropkick transforms into a blue and black muscle car loosely based on the first generation Chevrolet Camaro (rather than the AMC Javelin mode he has in the film). As with other Power Series figures, he can interact with the Cores of larger Energon Igniters toys.

:This mold was also used for the simultaneously released [[Hot Rod (DOTM)#Bumblebee|Energon Igniters Power Hot Rod]] and was later retooled into [[Shatter#Energon Igniters|Shatter]].

Swindle (Movie)

2018-11-06T03:31:14Z

StormJet: /* Games */ Removed the Autobots/Decepticons article due to Swindle's body-type not being the right robot mode.

{{factions|decepticonfilm|autobotfilm}}
{{disambig3|Swindle}}
:''Swindle is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|2007 movie franchise]] in the [[Live-action film series|live-action film]] [[continuity family]] and also a bunch of mass-produced drones on both sides.''

[[Image:Swindle-gamedrone.jpg|right|250px|thumb|KABOOOM! Heh heh heh heh heh.]]
Well suited to the task, '''Swindle''' is one of many Decepticons ordered to [[Earth]] by [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] to cause havoc for the Autobot forces there. Swindle is not a great fighter, and more, he's dumb as a post, but he makes up for it by taking great glee in blowing things (any "things") to pieces! That's worth something, right? Generally, he leaps and hops around the battlefield like a madman, blasting explosives out of his chest cannon like crazy and laughing uncontrollably. Havoc is given when he's around, as battling Swindle is like battling living dynamite! He's also an enthusiastic but unfortunately ineffectual interrogator. But don't get him started on <s>Jolt</s> [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]], he hates him for some reason.

Sometimes there are lots of him.

On both sides.

==Fiction==
===IDW movie comics===
Many years ago, Swindle was a member of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[Defense Force]], under the command of Protector [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. After the discovery of a [[The Fallen|mysterious relic]] and an alien attack, {{Storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} Megatron changed significantly, altering the military's mission from one of protection of their homeworld to the new aim of making war upon the hostile aliens and anybody who would stand in their way. Swindle was present at Megatron's war rally in [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], where the military leader demanded the control of all of Cybertron's forces in his vengeful attack on the [[Ejoornian|aliens]] from the [[Eshems Nebula]]. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

When Megatron consulted with the relic and decided to capture science division leader [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and eliminate his associated "traitors", Swindle was awaiting orders with [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s group. He survived the botched ambush on Optimus and joined Megatron's new "Decepticon" faction. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}} {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

[[Image:MoviePrequel1_Swindle_interrogation.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Given his intelligence stat we're impressed he managed that coherent a sentence.]]

During the subsequent civil war, Swindle was in charge of torturing the location of the [[AllSpark]] out of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]'s team after their capture at [[Tyger Pax]]. Even though he killed one of the team, he failed to extract any information from them, but succeeded at pissing off [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], who dismissed all of his underlings... then promised the relieved Swindle a slow and torturous death.

Luckily for Swindle, Megatron took off into space and was lost before he was able to follow through on his threats. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} Later, Swindle was part of the crew of [[Nemesis (Movie)|Starscream's ship]], which pursued the AllSpark and Megatron to the Eshems Nebula. They were forced to turn back for repairs when the ship was damaged by an Autobot concussion chain. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 1|The Reign of Starscream #1}}

After Megatron's death and the destruction of the AllSpark, Autobots attacked the Decepticons' ship on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] as Starscream recuperated. Numerous drones, including Swindle units, [[Payload (Movie)|Payload]] units and [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] units were deployed to fight off [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee's]] team. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} Later, Swindle units were among those in Dreadwing's army that helped build Starscream's [[Replica AllSpark|new AllSpark Cube]] {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 4|The Reign of Starscream #4}} and were subsequently involved in Dreadwing's failed coup. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

[[Image:Alliance4_Swindle_dies.jpg|thumb|250px]]

The main Swindle, meanwhile, had become a member of [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave's]] crew, and was sent down to [[San Francisco]] on [[Earth]] to blow stuff up as a diversionary tactic. He was sent with [[Jolt (Movie)|Dead End]], who he hates. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}} Their actions attracted the attention of the newly-formed [[NEST]] military alliance between the Autobots and humans, though they didn't distract their enemies for long. Dead End was almost immediately destroyed by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], while Swindle was defeated by a tag team consisting of his old nemesis [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[William Lennox|Major Lennox]]. Before he died, Swindle delivered an ominous warning that none of them were safe, and the Decepticons would find "[[Star Harvester|it]]". {{storylink|Alliance issue 4|Alliance #4}}

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

===Titan movie comic===
A lone Swindle manned a Decepticon outpost that [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and his cadets stormed. Faced with Ironhide's bigger-than-Texas cannon, the lone Swindle silently surrendered. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Lost In Space 3: Ironhide}}

{{note|The following events occur in an alternate timeline/continuity where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.}}

[[Image:Optimus Titan22.JPG|left|250px|thumb|Time to get a new job, guys.]]

Swindles were part of the occupation force on Earth. One guarded the Denver tunnel entrance to a facility where [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s body was being held (until Bumblebee beat him up). {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 11|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 12|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 4}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}}

Later, after Starscream had taken power, a Swindle and [[Crankcase (Movie)|Crankcase]] were confused by Starscream talking to himself and fondly remembered their old boss Megatron... right before Optimus landed on their heads. Swindle drones swarmed him, but were massacred for their troubles. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 22|The Decepticon Who Haunted Himself}}

===Transformers Mix & Match book===
[[Image:Autobotdrone mixnmatch.jpg|150px|thumb|Acting like a body builder isn't going to impress chicks.]]
{{Note|Due to the malleable storytelling format of the Mix & Match book, listed here is Swindle's story role if all the segments visually featuring him are lined-up. For all the possible iterations of his role in the story, see the [[Transformers Mix & Match]] page.}}
Swindle appeared as an Autobot drone that had been captured by [[Sector Seven]]. It defended [[Maggie Madsen]] and [[Glen Whitmann]] from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]] as they signaled for reinforcements. {{storylink|Transformers Mix & Match}}

{{-}}

===''The Veiled Threat''===
{{Note|The events of ''The Veiled Threat'' take place during [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[Transformers: Alliance|Alliance]]'' comic.}}

As part of Starscream's plan in [[Italy]], Swindle joined [[Jolt (Movie)|Deadend]] in causing chaos in the streets of Rome to draw the Autobots out. When the Autobots and NEST forces arrived and Rome, Swindle and Deadend got the drop on them and led them all through Rome. At first, Swindle and Deadend had no trouble staying ahead of the pursuing Autobots, as the Autobots' large alt-modes proved to be too unwieldy for Rome's narrow streets. But rookie Autobot Knock Out got the last laugh when he caught up to the Decepticon duo and tricked them into crashing into each other. As an infuriated Starscream challenged Optimus Prime to a one-on-one match in the Coliseum, the battered Swindle and Deadend quietly slinked off into the night. {{storylink|Transformers: The Veiled Threat|The Veiled Threat}}

==Games==
===''Battle for the Allspark''===
[[Image:Swindle head.jpg|right|125px|thumb|Swindle units can be either Autobot (top) or Decepticon (bottom)]]
{{note|Swindle was used as the basis for a chassis available to players as their combatant for the ''Battle for the Allpark'' game. Units using this body came in two variations. Autobot-aligned units had a helmet and facemask that vaguely resembled Optimus Prime, while the Decepticon-aligned units had the single-lens design seen in other film-related media.}}
Swindle units had excellent speed and fair attack power, but very weak defense. {{storylink|Battle for the Allspark}}

===Transformers The Game (console)===

Swindles were very common foes sent against both sides, though the largest concentration of them was in [[Tranquility]]. The Decepticon ones were particularly fond of lying in wait in their car modes and springing sneak attacks on any passerby Autobot. They were stronger than the [[Scrapper (Movie)|Scrapper]] units, but not by a lot, and were generally easily disposed of.

Aside from the head design differences, Decepticon Swindles were a deep wine color, while Autobots versions were green. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

===''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark'' (3DS)===
{{Note|Swindle appears in the [[Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (3DS)|Rise of the Dark Spark]] game for Nintendo 3DS as support a unit. Equipping him allows all Earth Mercenaries to collect Energon for each building they destroy.}}

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Swindle''' (Deluxe, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''MD-11'''

[[Image:Movie Deluxe Swindle toy1.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Full court shot from Thorias, really showing what a man with a cannon in his chest can do.]]
: Swindle transforms into a {{w|Chevrolet Cobalt}}. He's the Decepticon version, with the lens-head, and is remarkably accurate to his video game design. As with most of the Movie road vehicle toys, he replicates the car on which he's based realistically, even if the sculpt design is slightly genericized and has no official licensing.

:During transformation, his [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick flips out his head/chest section on its own from his upper torso. His torso also features a spring-loaded cannon that extends when a button on his back is pressed, and the cannon structure itself can be extended from the torso to give a more impressive appearance. This cannon gimmick can also be used in car mode, where it looks like a super-turbo-nitro exhaust pipe.

:As is the standard in the Movie toyline, Swindle features reasonable articulation in robot mode, with ball-jointed shoulders, hips and wrists, and swivels at the elbows and knees. His head can barely move, but a modification may be done by the owner to increase its range of motion.

:Also, when detached, Swindle's hands fit in the space between [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] cannons.

:This mold was later redecoed into [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]].

==Notes==
*Swindle is inexplicably often-depicted with modern-[[Earth]] car [[kibble]] on him when he is seen on pre-Earth-contact [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] centuries before the automobile was invented... while Bumblebee and the other Autobots are not. Hm.
*Artist [[Ken Christiansen]] designed Swindle, along with the other new characters in the ''[[Transformers The Game]]'' and ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (video games)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' video games.
* A squad of toy-like bright red Swindles appear at Hoover Dam during a cutscene of the console game... but as Autobots. Also, they were blown to smithereens by [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]]. Hm.
* Promotional renders for the console game also reveal a blue Swindle, though they never appear in this color in the game proper.
* Swindle's toy has a chest cannon, which ''technically'' appears in the video game, if only as a design. His main weapon in the game is an arm-mounted missile launcher.
* Said chest cannon was later [[homage]]d by [[Swindle (Animated)|another Swindle]].

A not exactly subtle case: [[Special:Contributions/Transformers1001|Transformers1001]] and [[Special:Contributions/TransformersFan1001|TransformersFan1001]]. The two accounts were created the exact same day, make very similar edits (i.e. the kind that have to keep getting reverted), and are never active at the same time.

== Cyberverse ==

Could you please unlock the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Cyberverse cartoon]] article? Locking it made sense months ago when we didn't know anything and wanted to prevent vandalism, but now that we're only a few months from launch and details are actually starting to emerge, it makes more sense to re-open it for editing so we can keep up with any new information. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 15:01, 25 July 2018 (EDT)

== Scroll box template ==

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate the coding for [https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Scroll_box this template] to here? I want to try out a proposal. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 01:16, 4 November 2018 (EDT)

== What everybody lacks but me. ==

I was able to add in more information to the Transformers video games, more specifically, the NDS games for the 2007 & ROTF movies, the ROTF PSP game, and the Wii/PS2 version of the ROTF game. I even added in character pages for the Krome-exclusive NPCs, and the playable ROTF DS Transformers. Something that nobody, not even you, were never able to do, because I have the time & energy to do so, all because I did some heavy researching, and thorough analysis.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Autobots/Decepticons

2018-11-05T05:49:04Z

StormJet: /* Characters */

{{nav-rotf-game}}

{{picsneeded|Covers, relevant screenshots}}
The '''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Autobots''' and '''Decepticons''' video games were developed by [[Vicarious Visions]] for [[Activision]], in conjunction with the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' movie.

==Gameplay==

Like the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|DS games]] produced to tie in with the [[Transformers (film)|first live-action ''Transformers'' movie]], the [[Nintendo DS]] incarnation of ''Revenge of the Fallen'' is divided into two separately-sold games, one for each of the two factions. The two games, however, are a lot less distinct from one another than the original movie games were: where those games featured unique levels and differing objectives, the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' games both feature the same basic goals, taking place over the same levels. Generally speaking, the games have little to actually ''do'' with the story of the film, simply depicting both factions hopping around the world, carrying out random acts of heroism or terrorism, occasionally visiting a significant location from the movie storyline ([[Shanghai]], the [[Laurentian Abyss]]) before things culminate in a big fight in [[Cairo]].

The player's hub is a two-dimensional world map, from which they select the mission they wish to play. There are four main levels in the game (each located on a different continent), each containing 3 missions, 3 challenge missions, and one level closer. The player completes all of the missions in the level, then plays the challenge missions that are in the same location as the regular ones, except with a timed objective, usually to destroy the most enemies or collect the most energon. After completing all 3 missions and challenge missions in a level, the player is brought to the level closer, which takes place in a specific city (usually)in that continent. These usually end with a boss battle against one of the major characters in the game. Completing both the "mission" and "challenge" from each level earns the player a bronze medal; each completed level can then be re-entered at the player's discretion, and both the "mission" and the "challenge" can be replayed, this time with an additional handicap (such as completing the level with the player's stats halved, or accomplishing an objective within a certain time limit). Completing one earns the player a silver medal, and completing both and thereby finishing the entire level gains you a gold medal.

Sadly, the games discard the two most enjoyable aspects of the original movie games: large, free-roaming environments, and the ability to scan ambient vehicles and change alternate mode at will. At the beginning of the game, the player's protoform character is given the option to choose which of three vehicle forms it will adopt ("light," weak but fast, "medium", balanced speed and strength, and "heavy", strong but slow), and retains this form for the entire game. Replacing this gameplay mechanic is the "Medical Bay," a new system which allows players to heavily customize their character. When enemies die, they drop [[energon cube]]s, which the player can spend to upgrade their stats (strength, speed, durability, marksmanship, etc.). Additionally, each "mission" level includes several hidden bonus items, which, when found by the player, unlock new weapons and other items which provide various effects when equipped. For instance, a less powerful weapon may offer as a bonus "perfect aim", whereas a stronger gun may only be functional at short range. In addition to customary lasers and rockets, players will also get the chance to lob grenades and even wield a freeze-ray that immobilizes enemies. The other items players can acquire are "capacitors" and "nodes", which apply bonuses to player's stats; for example, boosting strength at the cost of speed. Two weapons and four capacitors and/or nodes can be equipped at once; several weapons and gadgets are only unlocked by playing the game online.

==Synopsis==
*'''Autobots Version'''
When Create-A-Bot lands on Earth, Optimus sends him to training by the caves and he kills his Decepticon counterpart in the process. He is sent to Europe by the Autobots to carry out a series of tasks. Meanwhile, in the Atlantic, Bumblebee and Breakaway team up to save an oil rig from destruction. Create-A-Bot is soon sent to Rome, where he helps a fellow Autobot (who resembles Inferno) to assist NEST forces and destroys Grindor.
He is then sent to Asia, where he assists Ironhide. He is able to track down Sideways and kill him in Shanghai. However, both Grindor and Sideways makes some mention of a mysterious Transformer called The Fallen, which prompts Autobot investigation.
Create-a-Bot is sent to North America, where he ends up disabling a large number of bombs and generators. He is sent to New York City to investigate a strange signal. This turns out to be the ancient seeker, Jetfire, who knows all about the Fallen. He also talks about the history of the Transformers and the Matrix of Leadership, which the Fallen can use to power up the Star Harvester hidden in the Pyramids of Giza to consume Earth's sun in order to provide his race with Energon. Create-a-Bot relays this alarming news to the Autobots, only to hear that Megatron has been awakened by the other Decepticons.
Create-a-Bot heads to Egypt along with the other Autobots to stop their foes. As Devastator begins to uncover the harvester, Optimus and the Fallen have a showdown. Megatron slips away to activate the Harvester, but is followed by Create-a-Bot, who tracks Megatron through a sand-pit (with Scorponok hidden inside) and into a large structure. There, Create-a-Bot proves his skill and bravery by defeating Megatron.

*'''Decepticons Version'''
When Construct-A-Con lands on Earth, Starscream sends him to training by the caves and he kills his Autobot counterpart in the process. He then goes on a series of missions in Europe under Starscream's orders. Meanwhile, Starscream and Grindor team up to destroy an oil rig in the Atlantic. Construct-a-Con is soon sent to Rome, where he destroys a large number of Autobots, including Bumblebee. However, upon return to the base, it is clear that the Fallen is displeased with Starscream's behavior and demands that the Allspark shard be found.
Construct-a-Con is sent to Asia, where he assists Grindor and Sideways in causing mass destruction. They are able to track down the location of the remaining Allspark shards and, despite Starscream's disapproval, revive Megatron.
He is then sent to North America. While in New York City, he comes across Ironhide, who is attempting to escape with the old seeker Jetfire. Construct-a-Con destroys him and extracts the information he needs from Jetfire, despite the old Transformer's resistance.
The Decepticons travel to Egypt to recover the Matrix of Leadership so they can activate the Star Harvester, and the Fallen arrives on Earth. As Devastator begins to uncover the Harvester (hidden in one of the Pyramids of Giza), Construct-a-Con recovers the Matrix and takes it to the Fallen, who is pleased with his efforts. He then goes on to destroy Optimus Prime. This feat catches the Fallen's eye, and he proclaims Construct-a-Con his new right-hand, thus removing Megatron from the position. Megatron and Starscream both express their contempt for Construct-a-Con before the story ends.

Unlike the original Transformers DS movie game, there are only 5 playable characters for each faction: one character creation, three challenge mode characters, and one flying character. Also, Create-a-Bot/Construct-a-Con, unlike in the last game, are the only playable characters in most of the normal missions. The three other characters from each faction (Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Barricade, Sideswipe, and Sideways) are playable only in the challenge missions, with the exception of Optimus, who is also playable in the tutorial mission only in robot form. Breakaway, the flying character for the Autobots, is playable for the Atlantic Oil RIg mission in both the mission and the challenge (only in vehicle form). Starscream, the flying Decepticon character, is playable in 4 missions : the Atlantic Oil Rig mission (challenge/normal, and only in vehicle form), the Deep 6 level closer (only in vehicle form) and in the tutorial, only in robot form.
Ratchet and Soundwave are counterparts in the game, as they never appear in the game, but give the player advice throughout.
Grindor and Ironhide are counterparts in the game, as they are non-playable, and both appear in boss battles.

==Reception==

It is given a 7.0/10 by IGN.

==Notes==
*Some of the weapons in the game re-use sound effects from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]].
*Bumblebee speaks normally in this game.
*Most of the SFX from the old game are re-used for this one (i.e. Create-a-bot's and Starscream's grunts when they jump or attack).
*Barricade is in the game, despite not being in any other promotional material or THE FILM ITSELF. The only other thing he appeared in was the toy line (ROTF-wise, anyway). Toy promotion, I guess?
*The [[Omnibot Warrior]], [[Protectobot Warrior]], and the [[Combaticon Warrior]] appear as playable body-types for both games, but the player can only pick one. The other body-types are unknown, but their heads during the dialogues are based on the Omnibot Scouts, Seekers, and the concept art for the [[Combaticon Scout]].

[[File:Seeker Sniper.JPG|thumb|upright=1.67|Let's hope they're braver than [[Skywarp (Animated)|the last mass-produced, purple and black seeker.]]]]

'''Seeker Snipers''' are Decepticon F/A-18 Hornet jets colored like [[Skywarp (Movie)|some Decepticon]]. They have the special ability to teleport short distances and target enemies from afar with a heat-seeking missile.

====360/PS3/PC====
=====Autobot campaign=====

Some Seeker Snipers showed up to stop [[Breakaway (ROTF)|Breakaway]] from saving some humans during a Decepticon attack. Later on, another group of Seeker Snipers were among those who attempted to stop [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Sam Witwicky]] from reviving a stasis locked [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. They failed and Bumblebee destroyed them. Another group of Seeker Snipers were involved in aiding [[The Fallen]] against [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], but were ultimately destroyed. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

=====Decepticon campaign=====
{{charstubgame}}
{{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)}}

==Notes==
*According to their stats, these Decepticon flyboys have great vehicle speed, but not so much weapon damage and running.
:*'''Run Speed:''' Slow
:*'''Vehicle Speed:''' Fast
:*'''Primary Weapon Damage:''' 35
:*'''Secondary Weapon Damage:''' 12
:*'''Health:''' 300

*Much like [[Protectobot Scout]], The Seeker Sniper is playable in Single Player via cheat code in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The cheat to play as the Seeker on the PlayStation 3 version is: Square, Triangle, Square, L1, X, L1. To play as the Seeker in the Xbox 360 version input: X, Y, X, LB, A, LB. Unfortunately, all achievements and your online sessions will be disabled by playing as the Seeker, which is odd considering all that's being done is playing as another character. Unlike the Autobot's Protectobot Scout's Playable version, the Seeker may be used in Deep-6.
*The Seeker Sniper is playable in Single Player mode via Hacking (Or simply tweak with the file). The Seeker Sniper is called "dskrwarrior". Unfortunately, its special ability, Teleport, is unavailable via hack.
*It is definitely based off of Skywarp.

His [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Autobot equal]] destroyed three drones as bait to lure him to a particular location on a casino strip. In the form of a dark purple SUV, he faced off against his Autobot counterpart before the do-gooder could escape to Tranquility, and despite the fact he says he is "No one to be trifled with", lost the fight. He was later in the Hoover Dam discussing with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] about the bombs planted on the Dam that could result in thousands of human casualties. The Autobots eavesdropped on him and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] subsequently defused the bombs. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Autobots}}

Commanded by [[Starscream (Movie)|Lord Starscream]], Create-A-Bot arrived on Earth to locate the origin of a Decepticon distress beacon. At first, little information was divulged to the other Decepticons until Starscream arrived on Earth himself. In the meantime, Barricade reluctantly showed Create-A-Bot the ropes, and later put him in charge of the other Decepticons. After a long search through the Middle East, the Decepticons began to have suspicions that the lost Decepticon was in fact [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], who Create-A-Bot dismissed as a relic.

After the other Decepticons left Create-A-Bot to his own devices, Starscream finally arrived on Earth, personally greeting Create-A-Bot by nearly landing on him. Finally explaining his motives (in his own ass-backwards Starscream way) he lied through his teeth saying that releasing Megatron would cause the downfall of the Decepticons, and that the [[AllSpark|All Spark]] was actually on Earth (which it was). He then explained (lying again this time) that he simply wanted the All Spark to prevent a power struggle as he would need his full attention on preventing Megatron's revival.

That didn't work.

Once Starscream got a hold of the All Spark, Create-A-Bot had already helped to liberate Megatron from his icy tomb and led him back to Tranquility, where the Decepticon tyrant and his NEW second-in-command would face off against the traitorous jetfighter. Starscream used the power of the All Spark to power himself up to new levels (ignoring the precedent of over-powered Starscreams inexplicably causing their own downfall) and attacked his former boss.

That didn't work either.

Outwitting the empowered Starscream, Create-A-Bot stole the All Spark from him and smashed him in the chest, weakening him enough to have his [[Spark]] extinguished by Megatron. Create-A-Bot would die on that spot, the backlash from the All Spark overpowering his circuits, but he died a warrior and a true Decepticon.

That didn't go over too well.

Megatron returned after Starscream's defeat only to watch and laugh as Create-A-Bot slowly died. As the young Decepticon pleaded to be repaired, Megatron would only say that his weakness was his downfall, and that all of the Decepticons who fell in battle were worthless pawns to be stripped away like rust. Create-A-Bot then watched in horror as Megatron leapt at him, tearing him apart. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Decepticons}}

'''Create-A-Bot''', also known as '''"Kid"''', '''"the Young One"''', and '''"Whatever the [[Slag (slang)|slag]] you want to want to call him"''', is a young Autobot soldier. Eager to fight and prove himself, he is very much the typical brash young youth with a lot of potential. He has never seen his people's home world of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], making him a testament to the effect that the war between the Autobots and Decepticons has had on Transformers of his generation.

Thanks to [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]], he can store the data of numerous vehicle forms, making him very versatile in the number of alternate modes he can adopt. He also has a [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon counterpart]].

Create-A-Bot arrived on [[Earth]] to assist the Autobots already there. Not aware of the true nature of his mission at first, he eventually found out that the Autobots were on Earth to retrieve both the [[AllSpark|All Spark]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. Being the youngest and most inexperienced member of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s team, he was determined to prove himself. Unfortunately, his brashness nearly cost him when he went against orders and assisted [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] in distracting [[Sector Seven]] agents, only to end up luring them back to him. Bumblebee threw himself in the line of fire to allow Create-A-Bot to escape, which left the young one ridden with guilt. He managed to rescue Bumblebee and earn the other Autobots' respect. When Megatron took the All Spark and battled Prime, Create-A-Bot attacked him, knocked the All Spark out of Megatron's hands and jammed it into his chest, taking his own life to weaken Megatron. After Prime defeated Megatron, Create-A-Bot's last wishes were that Prime make Earth the new home of the Autobots, to defend it against any other Decepticon threats. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Autobots}}

Create-A-Bot (named Unknown in this version, & in the form of a white Notchback) arrived at the Space Needle after four of his comrades were destroyed by [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|his evil counterpart]]. Upon reaching the area, before the two of them engaged in battle, he told his opposite number to teach him why "the bad guys always lose." His counterpart responded that the Autobots are no better than the Decepticons; they might be on opposite sides, but they're both playing the same game. Despite all this, Create-A-Bot was defeated at the hands of his Decepticon equivalent, despite his insistence that "You're messing with the best here!" {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers Decepticons}}

==Notes==
*Create-A-Bot's origin is hard to reconcile with other movie fiction as he is a pre-existing Transformer (and thus presumably created by the [[AllSpark|All Spark]]), yet he has never seen Cybertron, the only place the All Spark ever WAS before being lost. Maybe he was born blind?
*Several of Create-A-Bot's alternate modes cannot be accessed in the game, but can be obtained by WiFi points in the [[Transformers Autobots/Decepticons]] online game, "[[AllSpark Wars]]".
