[[File:Berserker Promo Art.jpg|thumb|right|Where's that light coming fom?]]

'''Berserker''' is a seething ball of destructive energy, his lust for violence constant and irrepressible. Anyone and anything that gets in his way is torn to shreds, leading his allies and enemies alike to give him as wide a berth as possible.

By some miracle, the humans captured him and he's been constantly struggling against his restraints, spitting out the most graphic threats imaginable, which have led to stronger restraints, which make Berserker even angrier...and the cycle continues. Naturally, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] wants this maniac back in his ranks, but he knows it's a tall order.

Berserker was among the Decepticons in [[Transformers Reaction Force|T.R.F.'s]] custody. When T.R.F. was negotiating with Megatron, Megatron requested Berserker be one of the Decepticons released from custody to be part of his "crew". Berserker showed his violent temper when his mouth guard was released and he loudly threatened to drink the blood of his human captors. T.R.F. declined the request, claiming Berserker was far too dangerous to be released and that Megatron knew full well that his request was unreasonable. Megatron seemed to care little about the denial and merely settled on [[Onslaught (ROTF)|Onslaught]] instead. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

**''Japanese release date'': 2017-[[April 29|04-29]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TLK-03'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 spiked weapons

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]] Premier Edition'' Deluxe Class figures, Berserker changes from a Chevrolet Suburban to robot and back. He includes a pair of spiked weapons which he can hold via [[5mm post]]. They can hang off of his back panel by the small hooks on the handles, and store in the undercarriage of his vehicle mode. His hands also have two thumbs on opposite sides, which is awesome.

: The vehicle mode kibble on his forearms is not affixed to him and merely pegs into sculpted slots on his arms. This leads to a somewhat weak hold and the kibble parts falling off during conversion. In vehicle mode, several of the tabs meant to hold the outer body together don't fit well, resulting in large gaps. The panels that form the back of the vehicle, in particular, have a tendency to pop out due to excessive pressure. It's best if you start at the front with the panels that tab into his hips and work your way backwards.

: Berserker was the most commonly-found shelfwarmer of the first wave of his line, often filling entire pegs with unsold figures. Despite this, he eventually saw re-release as part of the fourth wave of Premier Edition Deluxes.

:He was extensively retooled into ''[[Studio Series]]'' [[Crowbar#Generations|Crowbar]] and (strangely) [[Crankcase (DOTM)#Generations|Crankcase]].

:Released in the second wave of 1-Step Turbo-Changers, Berserker changes from pick-up truck to robot when his spoiler and hood are folded upward.

*Berserker is based directly upon ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Crankcase (DOTM)|Crankcase]], right down to the Deluxe Class figure's Chevrolet Suburban mode and spiked weapons.
*Despite his ''very'' limited screen-time (all of which he spends locked in restraints), he received more toy representation than some of the more prominent Decepticons in the film–including [[Nitro Zeus]], Onslaught, [[Dreadbot]], and [[Mohawk]], the latter three not receiving toys or merchandise ''at all'' as of current knowledge.
*According to [[Josh Nizzi]]'s Instagram account<ref name="tlkdreads">[https://www.instagram.com/p/BZW_tHdjF_g/?taken-by=joshnizzi.art] at Josh Nizzi's Instagram.</ref>, Berserker is a member of the [[Dread (DOTM)|Dread]]s.

[[Image:DOTM_Crowbar_concept.jpg|thumb|350px|Someone help me turn these off! My battery is going low!]]

'''Crowbar''' is well known as a master of breaking and entering. It doesn't matter if we're talking computer systems, human safes, or enemy compounds he's got the tools and skills needed to get you in. His weapons of choice are "nanotech sentries".

He also gives this wiki a ''lot'' of openings to make references to ''The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra''.

===''Dark of the Moon'' adaptations===
When [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was being retrieved from [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], [[Hatchet (DOTM)|Hatchet]], Crowbar, and [[Crankcase (DOTM)|Crankcase]] surfaced quietly and secretly hitched a ride on the Autobots' shuttle back to Earth. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Dark of the Moon}} {{storylink|Dark of the Moon issue 1|Dark of the Moon #1}}

===''Dark of the Moon'' film===
[[Image:Dotm Crowbar standoff.jpg|left|thumb|250px|"If I could only reach you, we'd share... pain."]]
After [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] was retrieved from [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] and reactivated, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] put into motion the plan that had been waiting in the wings for hundreds of years. With the [[human]] [[Sam Witwicky]] believing that the Decepticons wished to capture Sentinel and force him to use the control pillar to activate his space bridge, Crowbar, [[Crankcase (DOTM)|Crankcase]], and [[Hatchet (DOTM)|Hatchet]] were sent to pursue the Autobots. Crowbar closed in on [[Seymour Simmons|Seymour Simmons']] car, transformed, reached in and tossed the former [[Sector Seven]] agent behind him as he bounded ahead to knock over a highway sign for the other two to use as a ramp.

[[Image:DOTM-IronhidevsCrowbar.jpg|thumb|250px|"This neck restrainer is most uncomfortable."]]

However, despite their best collective efforts to slow down the Autobots, Hatchet was quickly destroyed, and the remaining Dreads were soon confronted by the Autobot heavy-hitter, [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]], who stopped them in their tracks with a head-on collision. Faced with Ironhide's heavy weapons and [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]], the Dreads seemingly capitulated by dropping their ranged weapons, but as soon as the Autobots followed suit, they deployed spiked spears to attack their enemies. Though Crowbar's spear found its mark, embedding itself in Ironhide's shoulder, Sideswipe tossed the veteran Autobot his discarded blaster, which he used to shoot Crowbar in the face as the Decepticon leaped to attack, killing Crowbar. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

{{note|Crowbar’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novels "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (novel)|Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The Junior Novel]]," the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation]]," and the storybooks "[[Bumblebee's Best Friend]]," "[[Dark of the Moon: Action Pop-ups!]]" and "[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon Mix & Match]]."}}

While trying to break into a [[NEST]] facility, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] ordered Crowbar to create distractions around the city to keep the Autobots occupied. Crowbar told him he should mellow, and then went and fought a bunch of Autobots. Later on, when Crowbar was patrolling an Autobot base on a Pacific island, Starscream told him [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] was lurking somewhere around. Crowbar destroyed a bunch of buildings in an attempt to draw Optimus out, but the Autobot leader was a no-show.

Later Crowbar came to help [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] when the latter was trying to escape a NEST base. Crowbar was to cause a distraction, which to his delight meant he got to beat up that "shiny little twerp" [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. Following their escape, he retreated to the Decepticons' base in [[Siberia]]. He didn't think the Autobots would find them there, but told one of his fellow soldiers not to bug Megatron if they did. When the Autobots inevitably did turn up, Crowbar destroyed a whole bunch of them, but apparently not enough, as they eventually gained access to the base. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons|Dark of the Moon: Autobots/Decepticons}}

* '''Crowbar''' (Cyberverse Legion Class, 2011)
**''Series / Number:'' '''1 / 009'''
**''Japanese ID number'': '''CV27'''

: Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Cyberverse (toyline)#Series 1|Series 1 ''Cyberverse'']] Legion Class toys, Crowbar is a surprisingly tall [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends-scale]] figure that transforms into an unmarked version of a Carbon Motors E7 Police car. He has molded detail around his head that resembles dreadlocks, and his left hand is designed to interact with [[C joint|3mm]] Cyberverse weapons and playsets. He has an ''extremely'' [[Articulation|articulated]] lower body, capable of pivoting his feet, bending his knees inward and out, rotating and moving his thighs via his [[Swivel joint|swivel]]s and [[ball joint]]ed hips, and rotating his waist.

: Due to the pointed armor plating on his knees getting in the way, his arms/legs can be somewhat hard to transform. Also, due to the pegs on his legs being quite long, the connection that pegging the legs into the sides of his arms for vehicle mode is ''very'' tight, meaning that opening the vehicle rear/legs for robot mode can be quite difficult, and can occasionally result in the thighs popping off the swivels they're on. Sanding the pegs down to a more reasonable length can prevent this.

*'''Ultimate Gift Set''' (Cyberverse multi-pack, 2011)

: Part of the 2011 [[Christmas]]time [[Walmart]]-[[exclusive]] "Ultimate [[Giftset|Gift Set]]" 5-pack, this version of Crowbar is a [[redeco]] of his individual toy... and he's excessively outnumbered. He comes with redecos of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Ultimategift|Optimus Prime]], [[Powerglide (DOTM)#Ultimategift|Powerglide]], [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Ultimategift|Bumblebee]], and [[Sideswipe (Movie)#Ultimategift|Sideswipe]].

:Yeah. One Decepticon, four Autobots, including ''Optimus freakin' Prime''.

: His [[packaging]] [[stock photography]] depicts him as mis-transformed, with the chest-piece flipped around to the back. Ironically, this greatly ''improves'' the range of motion in his arms. (Online stock photos, however, show him properly transformed.)

He includes a pair of spiked weapons which he can hold via [[5mm post]] and store on his back or the side of his car mode. Meanwhile, his flowing strands of chain hair are made of a rubbery plastic, which allows them to fit inside the vehicle mode. He also includes a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Dread chase scene from ''Dark of the Moon''.

:Amusingly, due to ''The Last Knight'' Deluxe Class wave 1 [[Shelfwarmer|shelfwarming]] so ''hilariously'' badly in the United States, Crowbar could be found alongside Berserker in many stores.

For the [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|toy line]], Hasbro decided to give them individual alternate modes as well, which is why only [[Crankcase (DOTM)|Crankcase]] turns into a Suburban. However, Crowbar eventually got a toy with a Suburban mode in the ''Studio Series'' toyline.
* The Transformers.com website's Vector Sigma database entry for Crowbar strangely illustrates his nanotech sentries using an image of [[Roadbuster (DOTM)|Roadbuster]]'s Assault Saw weapon.
* An early working name for him was "Hooligan".<ref name="nizzi">[http://www.joshnizzi.com/TF3.htm Josh Nizzi DOTM concepts.]</ref>

Mixmaster (ROTF)

:''Mixmaster is a [[Decepticon]] [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]/[[Triple Changer]] from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ROTF Mixmaster concept art.jpg|thumb|right|300px|You can never have too many shields.]]

A genius chemist, '''Mixmaster''' serves as a weapons designer to the Decepticon elite. He has spent his entire lifespan mastering the intricacies of chemical reactions, becoming an expert in poisons, corrosive substances, and most especially explosives. He has a knack for improvisation, being able to make deadly concoctions from just the native materials a world has to offer. A member of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]], he forms the head of [[Devastator (ROTF)|Devastator]] when the group combines into the lumbering beast. He also seems to have a rivalry with the [[Autobot]] [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]].

There are at least two 'bots of his model; the other may or may not be also named "Mixmaster".

==Fiction==
===''Revenge of the Fallen'' film===
[[Image:ROTFMegatronrebirth.jpg|thumb|250px|Can we fix him? Yes we can!]]
After the [[AllSpark]] shard was retrieved from [[NEST]]'s secure bunker at [[Diego Garcia]], [[Long Haul (ROTF)|Long Haul]], [[Rampage (ROTF)|Rampage]], Mixmaster, [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]], [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Scrapmetal (ROTF)|another, smaller Constructicon]] secreted themselves aboard the ''[[Bayos]]'' freighter heading towards the North Atlantic. Once the ship passed over the [[Laurentian Abyss]], the Decepticons jumped overboard and dove down to where [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]'s broken body lay. Scalpel ordered the death of the smallest Constructicon to rebuild Megatron, a request that Mixmaster and the others obliged with. Soon, Megatron was reborn!

After Megatron killed [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]], Mixmaster climbed the Brooklyn Bridge and knocked down the American flag in a display of dominance.

Some time later, Mixmaster and another Constructicon with the same [[body-type]] were present in [[Egypt]] during [[Operation: Firestorm]]. Mixmaster and several other Constructicons waited in a quarry in their construction vehicle disguises until the [[human]]s [[Seymour Simmons]], [[Leo Spitz]] and their Autobot guardians [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] approached. The Constructicons [[combiner|combined]] into the mighty Devastator and attacked.

Elsewhere, the other Mixmaster fought against the NEST forces in the Egyptian town near the great ruins of the pyramids, using his cannon emplacement mode to cause serious problems, until the ex-Decepticon [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]] arrived to slice him in half and crush his torso, popping his head off and killing him.

[[Image:ROTF Mixmaster death.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Jetfire stomps Mixmaster's head off (in case you were unable to see due to [[Michael Bay|motion blurs]])]]
Meanwhile, Devastator had shrugged off the Autobot twins and was busy demolishing the [[Great Pyramid of Giza]] when Simmons called upon the [[United States Navy]] to attack Devastator. The [[United States Navy#U.S.S. Kidd (DDG-100)|U.S.S. ''Kidd'']] fired her experimental [[rail gun]], smashing one of his arms to pieces and destroying Devastator. {{storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Mixmaster’s involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel ""[[The Last Prime]]"; the comic mini-series "[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation]]"; and the storybook "[[Rise of the Decepticons]]."}}

[[Image:Defiance4_Constructicons.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Not shown: Mixmaster learning to use a bone as a club.]]

In the distant past, the [[AllSpark]] Cube created [[Thirteen|a race]] of powerful, trans-dimensional beings as the first inhabitants of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. The Cube gave these beings mighty powers, as well as terraforming their world, but it was not limitless, and gradually became depleted. The first beings learned that the AllSpark's power could be replenished by harvesting the energy of stars, but they were unable to locate new stars to suit their purposes, despite their amazing ability to travel between dimensions. Once again, the Cube came to the rescue, creating a race of workers, who had the ability to change their shape.

The "Mixmaster" body-type was among the very first of these new beings, one of several "builders" who would construct a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] when a suitable sun had been found. Once built, the device would drain the energy of these stars, thus replenishing the AllSpark. {{Storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

One of the Mixmasters was part of [[The Fallen]]'s early Decepticons. On [[Earth]], he and his brothers were sicced on the turncoat [[Jetfire (Movie)|Jetfire]]. Mixmaster was the last one standing and managed to get the Seeker in a crushing embrace, informing him "You die". Jetfire got out of this by teleporting into Earth's atmosphere, causing Mix's death by atmosphere re-entry. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 3|Tales of the Fallen #3}}

It is presumed that at some point during the civil war on Cybertron, a surviving Mixmaster(s) sided with [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], the new protege of the Fallen.

Mixmaster was the leader of the [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicon]]s on the ''[[Nemesis (ROTF)|Nemesis]]''. He grumbled at [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] for ordering them to stay in the ''[[Longshot (DOTM)|Longshot]]'''s cargo hold when they left the damaged ''Nemesis'' to pursue the [[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]. {{storylink|Convergence chapter 1}}

[[Image:Ironhide VS Mixmaster.jpg|thumb|right|400px]]
Mixmaster was one of the Decepticons dispatched to intercept an evacuation led by [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and a NEST convoy. He led an assault group which was able to destroy the convoy; however, the evacuation had already ended. Since his mission had failed, Mixmaster tried to console himself by killing Ratchet and was able to put him in a critical state before Ironhide arrived and helped him. Mixmaster threw Ratchet away and ordered his troops to attack Ironhide, but the Autobot defeated them. Mixmaster then decided to take care of the situation by himself, but ended up trapped under a platform dropped by Ironhide.

However, this didn't stop him for too long, and he was able to quickly get out and place his remaining soldiers into a scrapyard. The troops were once again defeated by Ironhide and his [[Heavy Iron 2.0|new weapon]] sent by [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]]. Mixmaster was too confident that the weapon wasn't strong enough to take out his shields, and he attacked with no warning. During the battle, his shields were in fact destroyed by Ironhide's new weapon, turning the tide of the battle towards Ironhide's favor. Ironhide defeated the Decepticon and terminated his opponent, gangland execution-style.

*'''Decepticon Mixmaster''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number'' '''D2'''
:Mixmaster and the six other Legends class Constructicons combine to form Devastator. In Japan, the Legends class Constructicons were sold individually. Mixmaster has the dubious honor of pulling Devastator's face around like a rectal growth in robot mode. He forms (you guessed it) the head of Devastator.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure multi-pack, 2010)

:In [[Hasbro]]'s markets, the Legends Constructicons were sold together as an [[exclusive]] multi-pack at [[Walmart]] in North America and Argos in the UK.

*'''Mixmaster''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RD-12'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile

: Voyager Class ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Mixmaster transforms into a gray and silver cement mixer with purple windows and headlights, based loosely on the {{w|Mack Trucks|Mack Granite}} truck seen in the film. The vehicle mode's mixing drum is incapable of rotating due to the transformation, but does boast a pair of gigantic Decepticon logos on either side. The cement chute at the rear of the vehicle mode can accurately raise and lower on a hinge, and the cannon can be fixed to fire directly overhead or behind at pursuing vehicles.

: His robot mode is designed to be squat with very long arms, but in order to be fully functional and look like the stock photo, his legs at the hip joints must be slightly mistransformed from what is depicted in his instructions. This results in a robot mode that is very thin and lanky, with numerous joints on the extremely long arms alone. The packaging calls out [[Mech Alive]] gimmickry in the form of "spinning gears" on his chest, but the feature is only present at the thighs and forearms, which reveal shifting internal bits when the joints are rotated. The robot mode's missile-firing cannon is locked in place on its back pointing straight upward; it can be raised over Mixmaster's head, although this involves letting the cab hang loose on his back as it's designed to attach to the cannon. Alternately the toy can be transformed to its artillery cannon-like Battle Mode that has him essentially performing a belly flop, letting the launcher fire forward. At least, according to the Battle Mode's official depiction on the instructions.

[[Image:ROTFVoyager_MixmasterBattleMode.JPG|thumb|left|250px|BUMM]]
: The instructions and the box pictures show the joint that attaches the cab to the robot to be inverted, with the released toy having the cab joint [[Misassembly|upside-down]] as compared with what is in the instructions and box pictures. Out of the box, the toy cannot exactly mimic the battle mode of the instructions or [[stock photography|stock photo]]s, but it's close enough for most people to assume they were doing something wrong until one realizes this mis-assembly. The joint can be corrected by the removal and re-attachment of the metal pin behind the front-bumper, but this is not as easy as it sounds and may potentially be damaging to the toy. This only applies to the Hasbro version of the instructions, however, as the Japanese Takara release had instructions depicting a completely different battle mode<ref>[http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=124022&postcount=13 Thread about Mixmaster's faulty instructions.]</ref>, which utilised the joint in the direction it is assembled, as well as pegs and holes present on the rear wheel segments and the inside of the cab respectively.<ref>[http://tf.takaratomy.co.jp/toy/products/TF/products/movie2/03_manual.html Takara's instruction with alternate battle mode.]</ref>

: The image of the cement mixer mode on the packaging has been flipped horizontally as well, leaving the location of the ladder switched. Additionally, the robot mode image on the packaging has a different mold for the mixing drum shells, with rectangular-shaped pegs rather than circular.

**''Accessories:'' Missile

:Available only in the [[Toys"R"Us]]-[[exclusive]] "Back Road Brawl" figure pack with [[Hoist (Movie)|Hoist]], this release of Mixmaster features a new head that was gang-molded to Mixmaster, but until now went unused. His colour scheme has been extensively [[redeco]]ed in a layout resembling the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]]. He is decorated with a small [[tampograph]] reading "Ol' Lefty", a reference to how Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]] formed [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]'s left leg.

:He retains the mis-assembled cab joint/faulty instructions.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)

:The Mixmaster component of the Devastator set becomes Devastator's head. He contains the lights and sounds for Devastator, as well as individual sounds for his vehicle mode. They are motion activated, which means he never, ever shuts up. As with the other Constructicon members in this set, Mixmaster does not have his own robot mode. To activate sounds (if you're willing to do so, that is), press down on a lever on Devastator's chest. Doing so will raise Devastator's mighty head and open his mouth, and cause one of a myriad of sounds to play, including: "I am.... DEVASTATOR!" "CRUSH... AUTOBOTS!" "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "I am...DECEPTICON!". In Devastator mode, pressing the button down for a few moments also activates his "vortex grinder". Transforming him back into his own component activates the transformation sound when the face cover is pulled from the underside of his truck mode. After that, he randomly starts making engine stalling noises whenever you look at him funny.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (2009)
: [[Mega Power Bots]] Devastator is a simple toy for younger children, featuring plenty of playing sounds and flashing lights. His limbs have limited swivel articulation and do not detach into separate vehicles. He has a distinctly more humanoid stature than normal.

: Unlike regular [[Power Bots]], and unlike other portrayals of the character in general, Devastator features a transformation! It consists of putting his arms up and laying him flat on his stomach, which lets him roll around using the wheels on his limbs.

: Pressing down the Decepticon shield on his crotch (!) spins the vortex in his chest, lights up his eyes and makes him utter one of many Welker-recorded phrases, including [[The Transformers: The Movie|"Prepare for extermination!"]], "Crush Autobots!" and "I am Devastator!" Pressing on the crane of his excavator arm makes a cannon blast sound effect, while pressing the cab of his loader arm turns the scoop into claws.

*'''Constructicon Devastator''' (Legends figure giftset, 2010)

:A [[Toys"R"Us]]-exclusive Generation 1-themed redeco of Legends Devastator and his components. Unlike Takara's go at the same idea, Mixmaster and the other Constructicons are mostly just lime green and gray, with the only bits of purple being their windshields. They do, however, have brown [[paint operation]]s on and around their wheels to simulate dirt.

==Notes==
*According to [[Ben Procter]]'s [http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ben_procter_rotf_12.jpg concept art], Mixmaster originally had a ''friendly'' face based on that of actor {{w|Brendan Gleeson}}... and was apparently going to be an ''Autobot''. The early head design was actually put to use in the Generation 1 [[Mixmaster (G1)|Mixmaster]]-themed [[redeco]] store exclusive, as well as the Legends Mixmaster.
*Not unlike [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]] in the first movie, ''Revenge of the Fallen'' sees Mixmaster (and indeed, quite a lot of other Decepticons) emits some heavily-processed, garbled Cybertronian noise that desire has occasionally led fans to misinterpret as real dialogue. The difference is that the DVD subtitles actually interpret the roar Mixmaster lets out before transforming to battle mode as the sentence fragment "Listen up..." Unlike Bonecrusher, no voice actor is listed in the end credits.
*Though "Back Road Brawl" Mixmaster was a Toy'R Us exclusive, he was featured as a co-sell on exclusive products sent to competing stores (notably the [[Super Tuner Throwdown]], exclusive to Walmart)

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Mixmaster''' (ミックスマスター ''Mikkusumasutā'')
