[[File:Autobotx.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"ARR I'm a monster, fear me!"]]
'''Autobot X''' was a veritable [[Frankenstein's monster]] of an Autobot, a robot constructed from various spare parts at Autobot Headquarters on [[Earth]].

Its patchwork design did not provide it with an [[alternate mode]]; however, its mishmash assembly gave it the use of various Autobots' special powers and weapons.

[[File:BotX.JPG|left|upright=0.85|thumb|He was just probably enraged by [[Transformers: Kiss Players (franchise)|something]].]]
[[Sparkplug Witwicky]] created Autobot X out of spare [[Autobot]] parts as an experiment. During the initial test run, Autobot X instantly started to destroy [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]]'s workshop. With Sparkplug unable to control him, [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]], [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prowl]], and [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailbreaker]] were forced to bring Autobot X under control through force. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] ordered him to be deactivated, but Sparkplug asked that he be allowed to fix Autobot X's bugs. Wheeljack volunteered himself and [[Ratchet (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ratchet]] to help, in hopes that Autobot X's body could be a temporary home for any Autobot mind whose own body was in need of serious repair. Optimus Prime approved.

At a rocket base test site, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]] was severely injured by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. The only way to save him was to transfer his mind out of his body, at the recommendation of the doctors at Metro Hospital. Sparkplug and Wheeljack arranged to transfer Spike's mind into Autobot X. The process had unstable results, however, and for a time, a confused Spike turned against the Autobots.

Once Spike's body was healed, Wheeljack and Sparkplug transferred Spike's mind back into his own body. The transfer equipment apparently did not survive its second use, and Ratchet speculated that it was perhaps best left unrepaired. {{storylink|Autobot Spike}}

[[Spacewarp]] once encountered a bot matching Autobot X's description, calling him the weirdest bot she'd met (at least outside of [[Axiom Nexus]]). She had no idea what his spark looked like, although she knew it was human. What this means about humans having sparks when not in a robot body is unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Spacewarp's Log|Spacewarp's Log (2), 2016/01/03}}

When Spike was injured during a battle, Wheeljack brought Autobot X out of storage and transferred Spike's mind into the robot form in an attempt to save him. The trauma of the experience sent Spike berserk, and he fled Autobot HQ to be later found by [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], who turned him against the Autobots. Spike was eventually brought to his senses when his father was injured during the ensuing battle, and once his mind was transferred back into his body, Autobot X was put back in storage. {{storylink|Autobot X (Legends)|Autobot X}}

[[File:WoW Rumble and Soviet flag.jpg|thumb|300px|Rumble is Gloriously [[FIRRIB|Red]]!]]
The '''Soviet Union''' is a nation-state on the planet [[Earth]]. It is considered to be one of the world's two "superpowers", along with its rival, the [[United States of America]]. Its capital city is [[Moscow]], home of the [[Kremlin]].

{{See also|Russia}}

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Transformers'' cartoon====
The Soviet Union joined all the other governments of Earth in agreeing to provide the [[Autobot]]s the energy needed to return to their [[Cybertron (planet)|home planet]] and restore it. However, for reasons unknown, this did not come to pass. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 3}}

When an [[Daina|experimental Soviet jet]] was captured by the world's greatest trophy hunter, [[Chumley|Lord Chumley]], blame was erroneously placed on the United States. This brought [[Cold War (history)|tensions between the two countries]] to their highest level since the {{w|Cuban Missile Crisis}}. Later, the truth was exposed by the Autobots, the jet returned, and Chumley handed over to the Soviets. {{storylink|Prime Target (episode)|Prime Target}} [[File:exper-commie-plane-captured.jpg]]

In [[2006]], during a diplomatic event in which the Autobots were guests, the [[Decepticon]] [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] tried to steal the Kremlin, one of many famous structures from around the world he was collecting and bringing to [[Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya|Carbombya]], as part of a scheme orchestrated by [[Octane]]. [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] arrived in time to thwart the attempt, but wound up caught seemingly red-handed, holding the building and appearing to be the thief himself. This led to the Soviet government authorizing the expulsion of all Autobots from Soviet territory. The truth was later exposed, and the Autobots were welcomed back into the Soviet Union with open arms. {{storylink|Thief in the Night}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
[[Sixshot (G1)|Sixshot]] threatened the Soviet Union and other countries for their energy. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

====''Super-God Masterforce'' manga====
The Soviet Union was attacked along with other countries by [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] with his [[A.O. Laser]] cannon from the top of [[Chomolungma]]. Thinking the world would be under the Decepticons' control, [[Wilder (G1)|Wilder]] suggested taking the land of the Soviet Union as the yard. {{storylink|The Decepticons' Great Counterattack!}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
During a period of peace between the Autobots and Decepticons, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron's]] close confidant [[Kiloton]] was tricked into journeying to Earth by [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]. When he showed up, unannounced, at Moscow, it provoked an armed response that ended with him dead. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 29/7/2015}}

===Live-action film series===
====''Transformers'' film====
The USSR was aware of [[Sector Seven]] and the [[Megatron (Movie)|alien machine]] in their possession: when the entity was transported from [[Sector Seven High Arctic Base]] to [[Hoover Dam]] via Canada in the late 1960s, KGB special forces launched a raid to capture it. They were routed. {{storylink|Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday|Ghosts of Yesterday}}

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
After detecting a [[Ark (DOTM)|crash]] on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], the Soviet Union began the {{w|Space Race}} with the [[United States of America|United States]]. They also took several pictures from the surface of the Moon, which showed the Decepticon activity around the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]''. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

===''Shattered Glass''===
In the 1980s, there was a [[World War III|Third World War]] that presumably involved the Soviet Union. In [[2009]], it still remained in existence and was an international rival to the despotic [[United States of America]]. {{storylink|Eye in the Sky}}

==Notes==
*In the real world, the {{w|Soviet Union}} collapsed in [[1991]], breaking up into {{w|Commonwealth of Independent States|its constituent republics}}. This event was foreseeable to economists when the [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] was being produced in the mid-1980s, [[tvtropes:Main/FailedFutureForecast|but not to cartoon writers]]. Thus the third season of the cartoon, set in the then-future year of 2006, depicted the Soviet Union as still extant. Oh well.
*[[Escalation issue 3|''Escalation'' #3]] refers to Brasnya as a "breakaway Soviet state", which is corroborated by [[Escalation issue 4|issue #4]]. In addition, the opposing army is repeatedly identified as "Soviets". While on first sight this may seem to imply that the Soviet Union still exists in the present-day setting of ''Escalation'', [[Escalation issue 5|issues #5]] and [[Escalation issue 6|#6]] replace "Soviet" with "Russian" and "breakaway" with "former", thereby apparently fixing a major world politics flub. Simon Furman later stated at the German C.O.N.S. convention in July 2012 that any references to "Soviet" are to be considered an error and should read "Russian" instead.
*When asked what terrible things happened to Earth in the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' continuity, [[Jim Sorenson]] stated that when the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] spread to Earth in the 1980s, the USSR used [[nuclear weapon]]s to drive the Transformers out of Borovia.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/133737-beast-wars-uprising-ama/?p=3362363 Post by Jim S on the Allspark Forums, 2016/10/18]</ref>

TheEvilOne:

The Scorponok were a mechanical species created and destroyed (oops, spoilers!) by the [[Quintesson]]s. One of them remains, however: [[Scorponok (G1) #War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon|the last Scorponok]].
==Fiction==
The Scorponok, created by the Quintessons, were treated poorly and never fought back, leaving their home destroyed and all members dead, except one. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}}

This member, the last Scorponok, fought against [[Autobot]]s on his "home" in [[Nebulos|Nebulon]] Station, who planned on destroying the station to use its space bridge. Optimus Prime knocked Scorponok down, but he transformed and chased the Autobots in robot mode, who locked him out with a reinforced door. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 3}}

[[File:WFC-Earthrise-Ep4-Scorponok-jumps-out.jpg|thumb|300px]]

Megatron and his Decepticons stopped Scorponok, but Optimus Prime escaped. He later accused Megatron of Quintesson-like behavior, which triggered Scorponok, who described how the latter acted like a [[Quintesson Judge]]. Megatron blasted Scorponok, causing the Autobots to disable the station's gravity controls and flee to the Ark. Starscream used the [[Nemesis (G1)#War for Cybertron| Nemesis]] cannons to destroy the Autobots and Megatron, possibly taking Scorponok with it. {{Storylink|Earthrise episode 4}}

==Notes==
*It is unknown if [[Scorponok (G1) #Generations Selects|BlackZarak]] is another member of the species.
*Similarly, the status of the species is unknown with the last Scorponok's death being left ambiguous.
*TheEvilOne is a dumbass who deletes finished pages.

Thus the third season of the cartoon, set in the then-future year of 2006, depicted the Soviet Union as still extant. Oh well.
*[[Escalation issue 3|''Escalation'' #3]] refers to Brasnya as a "breakaway Soviet state", which is corroborated by [[Escalation issue 4|issue #4]]. In addition, the opposing army was repeatedly identified as "Soviets". While on first sight this may seem to imply that the Soviet Union still exists in the present-day setting of ''Escalation'', [[Escalation issue 5|issues #5]] and [[Escalation issue 6|#6]] replace "Soviet" with "Russian" and "breakaway" with "former", thereby apparently fixing a major world politics flub. Simon Furman later stated at the German C.O.N.S. convention in July 2012 that any references to "Soviet" are to be considered an error and should read "Russian" instead.
*When asked what terrible things happened to Earth in the ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' continuity, [[Jim Sorenson]] stated that when the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] spread to Earth in the 1980s, the USSR used [[nuclear weapon]]s to drive the Transformers out of Borovia.<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/133737-beast-wars-uprising-ama/?p=3362363 Post by Jim S on the Allspark Forums, 2016/10/18]</ref>
