Since 1984, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Generation 1 '''Optimus Prime''']] has received the largest number of toys for any single ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' character, a testament to the character's enduring popularity and status as a hero to many fans.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (1984, 1985, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''01'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), [[Trailer]]/[[Combat Deck (G1)#Toys|Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)#Toys|Roller]], 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump

: The original Optimus Prime toy started life as the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy, "Battle Convoy", created by a team of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] designers who came on board when the original designer fell behind. This team included [[Hiroyuki Obara]] (listed as the sole creator on the toy's patent) and famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. The toy transforms into two major components; the first component being a red and blue White Freightliner WFT-8664T cabover semi-trailer truck partially composed of [[die-cast]] metal, and the second component being a large silver trailer of currently-undetermined model.

:The cab transforms into the [[robot mode]] of Optimus Prime himself, with the addition of a pair of removable blue fists that plug into his headlights. The fists themselves do not store anywhere in vehicle mode, but can fit easily in Prime's opening chest compartment (originally designed to accommodate two ''Diaclone'' driver figures). Prime is armed with a black laser rifle that, due to design, he cannot hold straight. His smokestacks can rotate, but don't serve much purpose whatsoever.

:Prime's trailer opens up into his [[Combat Deck (G1)|Combat Deck]], containing the scout drone, [[Roller (G1)|Roller]]. The interior of the Combat Deck features three pegs that can accommodate Prime's laser rifle, fuel pump and nozzle accessories, and seating for two ''Diaclone'' drivers. As its central feature, the Combat Deck features a missile-armed repair drone pod mounted upon a boom lift arm (featuring another cockpit for a ''Diaclone'' driver), which can also be extended through holes in the trailer's roof and front-end when it is closed. Situated in the base of the boom arm is a spring-loaded launcher that can launch Roller out of the Combat Deck and into action. Roller himself has seating for four ''Diaclone'' passengers, and features a port that can accommodate either Prime's rifle or the fuel pump. The interior space of the trailer allows storage room for one standard Autobot car, which can also be shot forward by the launcher.

:Optimus Prime was subject to several molding and color variations in his early days. The earliest release of the figure featured larger fists, a gun with a thick, round barrel, a slightly-differently shaped gas pump, grey rockets, a grey Roller, a grey launcher in his Combat Deck, and metal plates in the floor of the Combat Deck (a holdover from the ''Diaclone'' version of the toy, to which the magnetic feet of the pilots could cling). In short order, his fists were slimmed down, the gun's barrel was pared down to a more slender form, the gas pump's shape was altered, the rockets and launcher were recast in black plastic, the metal plates were removed from the Combat Deck, and Roller's color was changed to a light blue. Along with Roller's color change, however, the Combat Deck's drone pod also became light blue, and a third running change soon followed that saw it restored to its original darker blue, and Roller changed along with it. These modified components would become the default accessories used by subsequent reissues of the Prime toy would take, though Roller stills fluctuates back and forth between grey and dark blue, depending on how [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] each reissue wants to be.

:The Japanese release of the figure also underwent the changes in weapon shapes, but never featured a silver Roller; instead, their original release of Prime featured a ''Diaclone''-style Roller without the two rear pegs, and the differently-shaped launcher that accommodated him, before a running change switched over to the Hasbro version of the mold. Finally, in some European countries, Prime sported red feet, as opposed to his traditional blue; this version of the figure is also known in some cases to feature a differently-painted forehead crest which leaves the three central indentations unpainted blue.

:For the mainland Europe [[Milton Bradley]] release, there were two [[variant]]s of Optimus Prime available: the first version, manufactured by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], sported blue feet like most other versions; the second version, manufactured by [[Joustra]]'s parent company [[Ceji]], sported red feet instead.<ref name="3mb" /> On top of that, the Italian release of "Commander" by [[GiG]] eventually featured a [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/vprime6.html later variant] that replaced the rubber tires and [[die-cast]] feet with plastic parts, similar to the US [[KB Toys]] variant of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Toys|Ultra Magnus]].

:Having been removed from toy store shelves after 1985, Optimus Prime was made available as a mail-away toy in the "[[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]]" offer in the US in 1986 to coincide with the [[The Transformers: The Movie|Transformers movie]] premiering that year. He cost $21.50 and 5 [[Robot Point]]s. He was also offered in 'The Autobots Have A Special Mission For...' mail-away pamphlet and came with a special "Movie Edition Certificate" and a round sticker that read " Movie . Edition . Transformer" with the Autobot symbol in the middle. (This item is considered ''rare''.)

:Over twenty-plus years, there have been a ''bajillion'' releases of this mold, some identical to the original toy, and some featuring significant variants with notably different paint jobs, color schemes, accessories and other pack-ins. We have striven to list all these variants on this page under their respective series; for a quick-reference list of all variants and releases [[#Notes|check here]]. The cab robot has also been used sparingly to represent different characters; outfitted with different trailers, it has become Generation 1 [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and [[Pepsi Convoy]].

:A limited edition of the Optimus Prime toy sold as a mail-away exclusive by [[Pepsi|PepsiCo]] was made available in North America in 1985. This version of the figure came with a small fold-out leaflet glued to the top-right of the packaging, which contained two Pepsi logo stickers for the buyer to attach to Prime, mid-way through the traditional silver-and-blue stripe on his trailer. [[Canada]] also got a version of this promotional figure, but with much larger stickers that were the full length and height of the trailer. This promotion would go on to serve as the inspiration for the Japanese character of [[Pepsi Convoy]], who would in turn be released by Hasbro as a new "[[#Classics|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]" in 2007.

: Commemorating the death of Optimus Prime in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this set contains a special version of the original Optimus Prime figure with show-inspired translucent blue windows. It was packaged with [[Mirage (G1)/toys|Ligier]] and [[Red Alert (G1)/toys|Alert]], in an apparent homage to the similar ''Diaclone'' "Powered Convoy DX" giftset that packaged the "Powered Convoy" version of the Optimus mold with figures using the molds of Ligier and Alert.

**''Accessories:'' Large robot head, rifle, chest plate, 2 trailer connectors/waist plates, 2 small robot fists (left & right), 2 large robot fists (left & right), 2 missile launchers, 4 missiles
{{note|Ultra Magnus' inner white Optimus Prime redeco was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Optimus Prime in the ''[[Transformers vs. G.I. Joe]]'' issue "[[The War Never Ends]]".}}

: Ultra Magnus is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Powered Convoy" figure, itself a redeco and slight retool of "Battle Convoy", the toy that became the original Optimus Prime figure, sporting a new trailer. One of the last few ''Diaclone'' toys to be released in the ''Transformers'' toyline, Magnus was recolored from the original toy's dark blue, red and black color scheme into a more patriotic red, white and blue, though his chestplate, which was rendered white in his package art followed a more the blue color scheme of his shoulders. He transforms into a Freightliner COE, towing a car-carrier trailer capable of transporting up to four normal-sized Autobot cars. As with Optimus Prime, his cab transforms into a small robot, which can then combine with the trailer to form a "super robot", although all original Generation 1 fiction prior to the 21st century ignored this and simply rendered the super robot as Magnus's default robot form. To facilitate this combination, Magnus sports a slightly longer front axle than Prime, thereby creating tabs on either side of the cab that slide into grooves in the trailer to help lock the small robot into place. He is armed with a rifle sporting two handles that allow either of his [[robot mode]]s to hold it, and two shoulder-mounted missile launchers, whose spring-loaded firing mechanism was removed for the Hasbro release of the figure.

:The ''Diaclone'' Powered Convoy figure had several additional features and modes which were mostly excised or left unmentioned for the ''Transformers'' release of Ultra Magnus. Principally, Powered Convoy came packaged with "Powered Buggy", who was left out of Magnus's release (see [[#Notes|notes below]] for further details). Omitted from Magnus's instructions is the ability of his chestplate and super robot head to combine to form a small vehicle; the Powered Convoy version of the figure included small rolling wheels on the underside of the chestplate which were removed for Ultra Magnus. Additionally, three additional modes were included in the ''Diaclone'' instructions that Hasbro left out: a "preparation base" mode and an "Autobot base" mode were excluded entirely, while the third, a "catapult launcher" mode originally intended and proportioned to accommodate the ''Diaclone'' Jet Robo figure that became [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], was shown only on the front of his packaging, interacting with [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]. The Japanese release of Ultra Magnus—released as part of the ''[[Scramble City (toyline)|Scramble City]]'' sub-line—''did'' include instructions for the preparation base and catapult launcher modes, but replaced the original Autobot base mode with a new configuration.

:The original Ultra Magnus figure has been reissued and redecoed several times down the years, and this article strives to list each edition of the figure under its own heading. The first alteration to Magnus, however, was a [[variant|running change]] made while he was still on shelves: Originally, his tires were made of [[rubber tires|rubber]] and he sported paint on both his small and large robot heads, but this version was soon replaced with one featuring plastic tires and no paint on either head. In addition, the clear yellow plastic that formed his windows was removed from the cab, leaving just holes instead; and his thighs and fuel tanks were left white, as opposed to the vacuum metalized chrome ones of the original release.

:The small robot component, as well as being part of Optimus Prime, was also released with a different trailer as [[Pepsi Convoy]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Powermaster, 1988)
**''Accessories:'' Hi-Q Powermaster unit, 2 Laser Rifles, 2 Twin Particle Beam Cannons, Super Robot head
[[File:PowermasterOptimusPrime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|My Japanese release has a lot more bling. And shorter stacks.]]
:Powermaster Optimus Prime was the first new toy of the Autobot leader since the original toy's release in 1984. He is an all-new design, utilizing the [[Powermaster]] gimmick of requiring the partner figure, who transforms into an engine module, to be inserted into a special area on the main toy before it is able to transform.

:Like the original figure, Powermaster Prime is composed of two major components: his truck cab, which transforms into Prime himself, and his trailer, which is essentially a heavily-armed version of the original. The trailer has a fold-down ramp to allow the storage of a smaller Transformer, or perhaps spare accessories. The trailer transforms into a battle station armed with two long black rifles and two grey double-barreled cannons (featuring seating for Powermaster engine figures), all of which Optimus Prime can also wield in his fists.

:Aside from the Powermaster feature itself, the main [[gimmick]] of the toy is the ability of the truck cab to combine with the trailer to form the larger "Super Optimus Prime" figure. This is essentially accomplished by standing the trailer up, folding the cab in half and inserting it into the empty cavity in the trailer's torso, forming an imposing—if almost entirely unposeable—robot form armed with all four weapons. The head of this super robot form is a separate piece which can be stored in the rear of Prime's trailer when not in use. While Hi-Q was always shown plugged into Prime's chest in artwork of this mode (as seen in the picture here), this was actually entirely unnecessary as transforming into Super Optimus Prime didn't require the standard Prime toy's legs to be unlocked.

:The Japanese release of Powermaster Optimus Prime actually represented a new character named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]], and featured several retools: the cab featured die-cast metal, shortened smokestacks, vacuum-metalized plastic and clear blue windows, while the trailer was given retractable super robot fists. This Japanese version was eventually issued by Hasbro in 2003 as part of the [[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] collection ([[#Commemorative Series|see below]]).

:This toy was later redecoed into the Japanese-exclusive Nucleon Quest Super Convoy.

:There were several different prototypes made for this toy. [[#Powermaster Optimus Prime design history|See a list here]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' 2 Laser Guns, Galactic Pulverizer Gun Barrels, 4 Blaster Cannons, 2 Energon Exhaust Stack, Photon Bazooka

: The largest [[Action Master]] set, this incarnation of Optimus Prime is a non-transforming action figure which comes with the "[[Armored Convoy]]", a large, heavily armed tractor trailer. The cab of the truck transforms into a small jet that can seat one Action Master figure, while the trailer itself converts into a larger battle station with turrets that several Action Masters can man. The sculpt of the Prime figure itself is closely based on his [[character model]], albeit with a coloration that seems to have been based at least partially on the small robot form of his Powermaster body.

:The Action Master Optimus Prime figure was later redecoed with a more [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] color scheme and included in the Japanese-exclusive "New Year" reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in 2002.

:Also, unlike the one seen in the commercial, the final product loses paint operations of Optimus Prime's upper legs.

*'''Original Optimus Prime''' (Original Autobot Leader, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller (dark blue), 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump

:This straight reissue of the original Optimus Prime figure was released in Hasbro's European markets in the early 1990s, at the same time as many other Generation 1 figures were being re-released as "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]". Oddly, although he shares their golden packaging, Prime is not actually ''identified'' as a "Classics" figure anywhere on his box, but is generally considered to be part of the sub-line for simplicity's sake.

:The first in what would be a deluge of reissues of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure in the 21st century, this Japanese release sported a golden sticker on his packaging announcing the celebration of the Transformers' 15th anniversary in the country. It featured slightly modified fists to help hold the gun better.

:Simultaneously, this figure was available as a black convention-exclusive redeco, and a golden-chromed "[[Lucky Draw figure]]" (see below).

:Released concurrently with the 2000 reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy, this "[[Lucky Draw figure|Lucky Draw]]" redeco of the original Prime replaced all of the figure's silver chromed parts and stickers with golden ones, and even included a blinged-out Roller.

:This redeco of the Ginrai tooling of the Powermaster Optimus Prime figure (released concurrently with the 2001 reissue of the Ginrai figure) was a Toys ''R'' Us Japan [[exclusive]] black repaint, made to represent the original Optimus Prime equipped for a special mission. All of his red and blue plastics were changed to black, his clear blue windows were now tinted red, making his overall colour scheme very reminiscent of the now-familiar '[[Black Convoy (disambiguation)|Black Convoy]]' color schemes.

:This Japanese-exclusive reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure featured tinted blue windows, like those sported by the "Goodbye Convoy" edition of the toy, as well as show-accurate blue eyes. Prime came with all his original accessories, including ''both'' versions of his rifle, as well as a new die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership accessory, which could be looped around his neck on a removable chain. Additionally, the set included a show-accurate redeco of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure, a sheet of Autobot [[insignia]] stickers of varying sizes, and a mouse pad decorated with the Autobot symbol.

:The Matrix accessory was later recolored in gold chrome for inclusion with the 2005 [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron reissue toy]], and in green chrome as the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys|Creation Matrix]] for the [[e-HOBBY]]-exclusive [[Galvatron II#Toys|Galvatron II]] toy.

*'''Star Convoy''' (Powered Master, 1991)
**''ID number:'' '''C-372'''
**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, [[Micro Trailer]], Microcarrier, small cannon, cannon turret stand, radar, connector, 2 ramps

: As the final new-design Optimus Prime toy from the original Generation 1 era, the Japanese-exclusive Star Convoy was a significant departure from previous versions. This incarnation of Prime transforms into an extended-hood cab truck of made-up model pulling an implausibly large trailer, incorporating the motorized "Microcarrier". Powered by four AA batteries, the Microcarrier drives Star Convoy either forward or backward, spinning a radar dish mounted on the rear of his trailer as he rolls along. Prime's teammate in the [[Battlestars]], [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]], can link up to the rear of Star Convoy's vehicle mode and be pulled along behind him; [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]] can then land atop Grandus, forming a giant vehicle.

:Unlike previous Prime toys, the cab section does not separate from the trailer for transformation, instead forming the arms of his imposing 12-inch tall robot mode. He lacks any sort of leg articulation in this mode, but the Microcarrier comes into play again, allowing Prime to roll either forward or backward into action.

:Additionally, Star Convoy transforms into a large battle station that interacts with the [[Micromaster]]s that made up the vast majority of the ''Transformer'' toyline at the time. His chest contains a peg that allows Micromaster figures to stand inside it in either robot or base modes, and he comes with a unique Micromaster version of [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Return of Convoy|Hot Rod]] not available on its own. He features storage space in his legs for two spring-loaded figure-launching [[Micro Trailer]]s, and comes with one of his own, decorated in a unique black and orange color scheme. In this mode, two ramps are connected to the Microcarrier; when the carrier's treads are set rolling, they do not move the base, but instead act as conveyor belts that carry Micromaster figures down the ramps. The Microcarrier also spins a gun turret mounted between the conveyors, on which Micromaster figures can stand. Finally, a special connector packaged with Star Convoy allows the Microcarrier to be connected up to Grandus's base mode, powering his moving elevator.

:Star Convoy was reissued by Takara in 2005, with some notable alterations to his deco: his white plastic was replaced with metallic silver, and the yellow star on his chest was chromed golden. Star Convoy himself retained some of his original decals but most notably his "simulated head lights" and "wind shield panels" were stamp graphed on him, similarly, Hot Rod's were replaced with the same stamp graphing applications. Additionally, where the original toy had been packaged in robot mode in a tall box decorated with the standard Japanese package art of the time, the reissue was packaged in vehicle mode, in a long, wide box more reminiscent of the original Generation 1 toys.

==Generation 2==
[[File:G2Prime toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|I AM OPTIMUS PRIME.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (1993, 1994)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller (light blue), 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, 2 missile launchers, 2 missiles, sound and lights module

:The first ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy was largely identical in sculpt to the original Generation 1 figure release. While his cab robot retained his original red and blue color scheme, his trailer was recast in black, with the original blue and silver striped sticker replaced with a red and silver one displaying Optimus's name. On the first release of the trailer, the internal components and Roller matched the blue of the cab robot. Later, the internal components were changed to a lighter blue, as was Roller. Another running change followed, making the dark blue of the cab robot match this lighter shade. A bright yellow "Autobot" [[tampograph]] was also added to the back of his right leg.

:''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime comes with all his original accessories, as well as two major new play features. To increase his arsenal, he is armed with a pair of black missile launchers that fit in his fists and fire red spring-loaded missiles; these launchers were retooled from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' figure [http://www.yojoe.com/action/92/barricade.shtml Barricade]. Secondly, he comes with an electronic "sound and lights module" that can either plug into the front of the trailer (where it resembles the air conditioners used on refrigerated trailers), or hook onto Optimus's back in [[robot mode]] (via a new slot sculpted into the cab robot). Unfortunately, the soundbox is heavy enough that doing so can easily overpower Prime's hip joints, causing him to topple backward. The soundbox features a large, [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]] Autobot symbol on its front, and three grey buttons which trigger two flashing red LEDs on either side of the module, and [https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c6/G2OptimusNoises.ogg a trio of sound effects]: a truck engine noise, a laser gun sound effect and a garbled voice that said "I am Optimus Prime!". The module also features ports on either side into which the missile launchers can peg.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TRF-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, 2 rockets

:[[Hero (G2)|Hero]] Optimus Prime was the first new-mold Optimus Prime toy created for the ''Generation 2'' line. He transforms into a Kenworth truck of unknown model which defies Optimus convention by being one continuous unit, rather than the traditional cab-and-trailer combo. Decals form the windows of a faux truck face to represent his chest, featuring both his name and what appears to be a [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|life support readout coming alive towards the end]]. In addition to a small gun, he is armed with a large missile launcher, which can fire a rubber-tipped rocket by means of a bellows which you slam your fist down on to produce a puff of air. The launcher is accessible in both modes, ending up mounted on his right forearm in robot mode; the bellows is attached via a rubber hose and cannot be disconnected, but stores on the figures's back when not in use, as do the rockets. A similar air-launching system with identical missiles was used by the simultaneously-released [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Hero Megatron]], and by Laser Optimus Prime the following year (see below).

: This mold was also used to create [[Sureshot (G2)|Sureshot]] and the [[KB Toys]]-exclusive [[Destructicon (RID)|Destructicon]] [[Scourge (RID)#Destructicon|Scourge]].

[[File:G2toy laser optimus prime.jpg|thumb|upright=2.2|What was that about shoulder-speakers, Jazz?]]

: Laser Optimus Prime transforms into a mid-1990s Western Star 4964EX, pulling a grey and black fuel tank trailer. The sides of the trailer are decorated with a sticker depicting Prime using a flamethrower to burn down a banner with the words "Optimus Prime Octane" on it. The truck is armed with a disc launcher on the roof of its trailer, which launches five blue discs bearing the ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignia as a knob is turned. Like the other "[[Laser Rod|Laser]]" toys released this year, Prime features electronics powered by two button-cell batteries; in truck mode, pressing the button on the cab's roof causes his headlight to light up with yellow LEDs.

:In the grand Optimus tradition, the cab of Laser Optimus Prime disconnects to become the highly poseable robot mode of Prime himself. Like Powermaster Prime and Hero Prime, the toy features the iconic windshield pecs and grill abs, despite not actually being formed from the actual truck components they emulate. In robot mode, pressing the button on Prime's cab (now on his back) activates a red LED in his right fist which illuminates his clear-plastic sword (which stores beneath his legs in truck mode).

:Prime's trailer unfolds via a spring-loaded transformation mechanism in a battle station that is positively ''bristling'' with varied weaponry. In addition to the disc launcher, it is armed with a "ripple-fire" missile launcher that fires five missiles, an air-powered rocket launcher like the one previously seen on Hero Optimus Prime, and a small laser cannon that mounts on the base's main tower. Both the missile launcher and laser cannon can disconnect and be held by Prime; his LED-fist will illuminate the laser cannon like it does his sword. Additional missiles and a second rocket are stored in grooves inside the sides of the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed by Takara in 2000 as ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Car Robots]]'' [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. The following year, it was released by Hasbro as Black Convoy's [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' franchise]] counterpart, Scourge, with retooled discs that lacked the Autobot insignia. Following this, the next use of the mold was planned to be ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Toxitron (Universe)|Toxitron]], which ended up being canceled. The modified tooling was also used when Laser Prime was reissued by Takara in 2006 with a modified deco ([[#G2reissue|see below]]), and for the e-Hobby exclusive [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#G-2|Laser Ultra Magnus]] that accompanied the reissue's release. In 2015, ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition Year of the Goat]]'' Optimus Prime, another repaint version, comes with partially transparent plastic torso.

:In addition to being the most popular Generation 2 figure, Laser Optimus Prime was, prior to 2003, a regular contender for most popular Transformers toy ''ever'', back in the days of the annual [[alt.toys.transformers]] fan awards; the toy won twice, and actually lost once to his redeco, Scourge.

**''Accessories:'' Gun

: A redeco of the ''Generation 2'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Firecracker]], Optimus Prime transforms into a red Hot Wheels-sized Lamborghini Diablo. Like most Go-Bots, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. He is armed with a small red laser rifle. The plastic colors are a "solid" version of Firecracker's color layout, substituting opaque red for transparent red plastic.

:The Japanese release of this toy swapped out the orange plastic for neon yellow, and had a large tampograph on the car's hood that was shaped like a stylized letter 'T', with the Transformers logo in it. Going against the grain, this toy was released in Japan with the name "Optimus Prime" instead of "Convoy".

:In Europe, this deco was sold as Firecracker himself rather than Optimus Prime (at least in the French/Dutch/German packaging variant). The sculpt was later redecoed again for the third wave of Go-Bots to become [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys#Go-Bot|Sideswipe]] (who Prime ''really'' looks a lot like), and later still into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spy Changer]] [[R.E.V.]].

:This reissue of the original ''Generation 2'' Laser Optimus Prime figure was made using the modified version of the mold created for ''Robots in Disguise'' Scourge, lacking the sculpted ''Generation 2'' Autobot insignias on the disks featured on the original. It sported a modified deco, with the flat grey plastic on both the trailer and Prime's chest now replaced with silver chrome; additionally, new Autobot symbol tampographs were added to the doors of Prime's cab mode and the front end of his trailer, and a pair of new chest-window stickers featuring an illustration of the Matrix of Leadership replaced the original decals.

{{Note|Very early in the life of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toyline (before the debut of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' cartoon), Hasbro treated the series as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and so Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime.}}

**''Accessories:'' Two swords
:The first ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] is a Basic size class blue bat which could autotransform into a robot by pulling the tail. Two swords were removable from under its wings for use as weaponry in [[robot mode]]. It was packaged along with an alligator version of Megatron and a ''Beast Wars'' mini-comic.

:This figure was released during the short-lived period when Hasbro was treating the Beast Wars as an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was presented as being the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was also used to make the [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Prime-recolored Convobat]] (who may or may not be a separate character to either Prime or Primal), and [[Onyx Primal]].

*'''Optimus Primal''' (Ultra, 1996/1997/1998)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Two swords, four missiles, flail
: The second Optimus Primal toy was an ape in the Ultra size class. Though the transformation from primate to humanoid was a relatively simplistic one, the toy compensated with more than a fair share of weaponry and action features. A compartment on his right forearm opened to reveal a skull-shaped mace he could hold in his fist. His left forearm could open into a double-barreled missile launcher. On his back were two spring-loaded missile launchers which auto-flipped over each shoulder. By pulling a lever in the center of his back, both arms would either spin at the bicep or bend in and out at the elbow, depending on the placement of notch-buttons located on either bicep. This gimmick was shown to be an effort to simulate a gorilla beating its chest while Optimus was in [[beast mode]], but could also be used in robot mode, making him swing his weapons wildly before himself. And finally, like many first-year ''Beast Wars'' toys, a battle mask/"[[mutant head]]" could be deployed over his robot head.

:Takara released the toy as part of their ''Beast Wars'' line in July of 1997, nearly identical to the Hasbro version. The missiles for the Takara version are thinner and simpler than the original Hasbro version, and would be used in all subsequent releases of the mold.

:Just like Optimus Primal's basic bat toy, this figure was released during the short-lived period when the Beast Wars was still considered to be an extension of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and Optimus Primal was the same character as Optimus Prime. This was soon relegated to the realms of [[micro-continuity]] when the ''Beast Wars'' animated series began and clearly established that the two Optimuses were different characters, but the toy remains one that was officially branded as Prime, and is consequently listed here.

:This mold was [[redeco]]ed into ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Optimus Primal and [[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]] DX Convoy, and [[retool]]ed into ''Beast Wars Reborn''/''Beast Wars Tenth Anniversary'' versus pack Optimus Primal. Takara also created multiple special variants, including all-gold (from ''Tele-V Magazine'', only ten awarded), red and gray (''Tele-V'' again, but only ''one'' awarded), and blue-fur (a ''Comics Bom Bom'' design-contest prize, only five awarded).

: Just which character this toy represents is up for debate.

**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle, 2 missiles

: Available only at [[KB Toys]], ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Optimus Prime is a redeco and slight retool of the European Generation 1 exclusive [[Turbomaster]] leader [[Thunder Clash]], transforming into a Cybertronic truck cab. It's easy to see why Thunder Clash was chosen to become the new Optimus Prime, given his adherence to Prime tradition: the cab disconnects to become the robot, while the trailer unfolds to become an assault tower with twin missile launchers. On the original Thunder Clash version of the mold, the launchers operated on a gravity-feed system that saw a new missile drop into the launcher from above each time one was fired, allowing for twelve to be fired in rapid succession, but for ''Machine Wars'' Prime, this feature had to be dialed back [[for safety reasons]]. The missiles had to be lengthened to prevent choking hazards, and so the toy's launchers were modified to accommodate them, becoming straightforward spring-loaded single-firing weapons.

: The [[package art]] for this toy is a retouched version of the art for ''Generation 2'' Laser Optimus Prime (see above), but now positioned so one robot arm is always "off the edge" of the box and unseen - conveniently hiding the sword that the toy no longer has.

: This version of the mold was planned to be [[redeco]]ed into [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] for the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line, but the release was canceled.

:The first reissue of the original Optimus Prime toy in North America since the Generation 1 toyline reached its end, this "[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]" edition of the figure was a Toys R Us exclusive. It was ''mostly'' identical to the original figure, save for some necessary modifications made [[for safety reasons]]: In the first instance of what would become a recognizable alteration to the mold, the toy's smokestacks were shortened, while the Combat Deck's firing missiles were elongated to prevent potential choking, as was the case with all other Commemorative Series figures' firing missiles. This release also had the trailer's launching feature removed.

:In 2012, a reissue of the Commemorative Series toy was released. Though the "Commemorative Series" label was not printed anywhere on the packaging, the included instructions retained the name.

:The toy itself is a mix of different versions. The cab has the safety modifications, including the shortened smokestacks and longer missiles (and thicker rifle), but also has the modified hitch of the 2011 Chronicle DOTM two pack. Meanwhile, the trailer is the lighter grey version from the 2008 Universe release. This version also seems to suffer from [[Mold#Deterioration|mold deterioration]].

:Marketed as a reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, this Toys R Us-exclusive Commemorative Series figure is in truth based on the Ginrai tooling on the toy that had previously been exclusive to Japan. It features a die-cast metal cab with translucent blue windows, and shortened, chrome smokestacks, and comes packaged with the drone [[Apex Bomber]] (formerly Ginrai's partner [[Godbomber]]), who splits into several components and combines with Prime to form "Apex Armor". As with all other Commemorative Series figures, Prime's new spring-loaded missile launcher featured an elongated missile.

:The figure was re-released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2012, with no known changes to the figure itself but several modifications to the packaging that makes it easy to tell the two releases apart: The flap containing the [[package art]] is omitted entirely, the "Commemorative Series II" label is missing, the age recommendation and safety warning labels, the "Changes from double tractor trailer to battle station to super robot!" call-out and the name of the toy have all been shuffled around (with the words "battle" and "super" being omitted in the process), and most notably, the toy is no longer named "Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor", but simply "Optimus Prime", with Apex Bomber's existence no longer acknowledged anywhere on the packaging.

It is a simplified version of the original Combat Deck, lacking features like the interior deco and the lift arm of the artillery robot, but still nonetheless looking fairly accurate to the original toy.

:''Smallest Transforming'' Prime was redecoed the following year for the second wave of the line, into a color scheme based on his Generation 1 cartoon appearance featuring brighter reds and blues, white thighs, yellow details on his bumper, and blue eyes and windows. This version of the figure was made available for a second time in the next wave ("Wave 2.5"), with a new anime-decorated version of the Combat Deck now available as a rare "chase" figure.

:At about 2/3 the size of the ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'', this diminutive version of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is the smallest figure of the Autobot leader made to date. It was sold as part of Takara's blindpacked ''[[Mini Toy Shop Collection]]'' line, a series of miniaturized figures from numerous classic Takara toylines, including ''Transformers'', ''[[Microman]]'', ''[[Licca Kayama|Licca-chan]]'', ''[[Choro-Q]]'' and others. Both of Prime's modes are represented by non-transforming individual figures, which come together in a two-pack. In-box, his truck form is even packed in a miniature recreation of his original Japanese packaging, which also includes a shrunken version of his sticker sheet. A tiny version of the original Takara Transformers catalog completes the set.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, cardboard trailer (Japanese release only)
:As the name suggests, this impressive incarnation of Optimus Prime was produced in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the ''Transformers'' brand. So successful was the figure that ''ToyFare'' magazine ultimately ranked it #1 in their quest for "Best Toy Ever".<ref>[http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/000054376.cfm ToyFare Magazine Best Toys Ever]</ref>

:Created with the specific purpose of producing an Optimus Prime as accurate to the original animated series as possible, the toy is exceptionally poseable, partially constructed from die-cast metal, features rubber tires and vacuum-metalized plastic and is heavily detailed, with sliding pistons in its joints and working spring-loaded suspension in vehicle mode. The figure also contains multiple non-intrusive gimmicks, such as a moving [[mouthplate]] to emulate Prime's traditional method of speech, flip-up communications panels on the forearms depicting images of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], and an opening, light-up Matrix chamber in the chest, which contains a removable vacuum-metalized Matrix of Leadership that can also be pulled open.

:Optimus Prime comes with many accessories in addition to the aforementioned Matrix, including the character's traditional laser rifle, now termed (and henceforth known as) an [[ion blaster]]. The initial release of the figure cast the ion blaster in grey plastic, but later assortments recast it in its more familiar black coloration. Other accessories include a transparent orange energon-axe that plugs into either wrist when Prime's fist is retracted, and even a non-transforming gun mode Megatron weapon, with removable stock, silencer and scope accessories, in homage to [[Countdown to Extinction (episode)|several]] [[The Insecticon Syndrome|instances]] in the Generation 1 cartoon when Prime was forced to wield his enemy. Pack-in bonuses that came with the figure included an inner cardboard tray illustrated to resemble the interior of Prime's Combat Deck, and in later releases, a small poster drawn by [[Pat Lee]].

:Takara's version of the figure was released in their markets slightly earlier, as the first of what would come to be several installments in their ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' line. In addition to coming with a cardboard trailer that the buyer could assemble to "complete" Prime's truck mode, Takara's release differed from Hasbro's by featuring longer smokestacks (kept short on the Hasbro version [[for safety reasons]], but incorrectly shown to be long in the stock photography shown at right), and lacking the black scorch-marked "battle damage" paint applications Hasbro included on the figure's shoulders, wrists and abdomen. In Western markets, the figure was intended to complement the ''[[Transformers: Alternators| Alternators]]'' line.<ref>[http://www.camphortree.net/tf/tidbits/otfcc2004.txt|Steve-o's OTFCC 2004 notes]</ref>

:This sculpt was redecoed by Takara into a golden Lucky Draw figure and later released in its original coloration with a trailer as a "Perfect Edition" (see below for both), while Hasbro would later redeco it into their ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]''-branded "[[#Classics|DVD Edition]]". The mold was also used to make ''Masterpiece'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] and "[[Eldedroid|Convoy Black Version]]", representing one of many drones built in Prime's image, rather than Prime himself.

:In ''[[Transformers History Collection]]'', a [[Blindpacking|blind-packed]] Transformers trading figure line, Takara released an add-on hand for ''Masterpiece'' Convoy as a [[Chase figure]]. The hand holds a [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] figure and clips on to the end of Optimus Prime's arm, making the arm slightly longer than normal.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, cardboard trailer
:Offered as part of a Lucky Draw campaign in August 2004, this extremely rare version of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is almost entirely vacuum-metalized gold, lacking any other painted detail or stickers. The parts which are not viable are molded in a flat golden plastic; the only exceptions are its rubber tires, the core of the Matrix and the energon-axe, which remain black, blue and orange, respectively. Whether or not the figure was intended to evoke Optimus Prime's [[:File:Goldenlagoon prime perceptor.jpg|entirely-golden appearance]] in the cartoon episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", when he was coated with [[electrum]], is unknown; given that entirely chroming a figure gold is a fairly standard deco for Lucky Draw figures, it may just be happy coincidence more than anything else.

:The figure comes packaged in the standard ''Masterpiece'' Convoy box, with the only telltale sign of its fabled contents being the replacement of the traditionally silver foil lettering on the box with gold. It's not clear how many were made, but it is thought to be no more than 10 or 20.

:For this re-release of ''Masterpiece'' Convoy, Takara submitted to the biggest desire fans had for the figure and produced a full-size, fully transforming plastic and die-cast metal trailer. The trailer opens up into Convoy's Combat Deck, with storage for its accessories and a functional repair drone, though Roller is conspicuous by its absence. Like the original Combat Deck, the drone can extend through holes in the roof and front of the closed trailer, and the interior has enough room to accommodate one ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' figure in [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Some reports suggest that the paint on this figure's chest chips more easily than past editions.

:This version of Convoy, and Hasbro's 20th Anniversary DVD version of the toy depicts [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] on its communicators rather than Bumblebee and Starscream.

:Continuating the trend begun by their previous release of ''Masterpiece'' Ultra Magnus in 2005, Hasbro [[Australia]] released Convoy Perfect Edition as a Target Australia [[exclusive]] in 2008. Takara themselves then made the figure available for a second time in October 2009.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-4S'''

:Released by TakaraTomy as part of a 2010 promotion honoring the "future era" of the original cartoon (which was set in 2010 in Japanese continuity, you see!), this exceptionally morbid re-release of the ''Masterpiece'' Convoy figure recolors the Autobot leader in blacks and greys, representing ''his dead body'' from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''—but don't worry, kids, it's actually a "sleep mode", according to the figure's name! Limited to 2010 pieces in Japan (see what they did there?), it comes with all its customary accessories, including the Perfect Edition trailer, redecoed where appropriate: the trailer itself has become translucent, its energon-axe is now transparent grey, and Megatron, in another movie homage, is rendered in translucent purple, evoking the scene depicting his transformation into [[Galvatron (G1)/toys|Galvatron]]. The figure was also released in other parts of Asia as a limited edition of 2010 as well, combined with the Japanese edition for 4020 total. The Japanese version denotes "Serial Number in Japan: ####/2010" on its bio card with the number out of 2010, while the Asian version denotes "C1 - ####/2010" with the number out of 2010 on its bio card.

:This version of Convoy depicts [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Hot Rod]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys|Ultra Magnus]] on its communicators.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-1L'''
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, gun mode Megatron, Megatron's scope, stock and silencer, energon-axe, sound stage
:"Convoy Last Production" was the final re-use of the ''Masterpiece'' toy mold before it was at last retired after numerous re-releases and redecos. The figure is essentially identical to the original Japanese MP-1 release, aside from a slightly brighter red, and the addition of the words "LAST SHOT" in Transformers typeface molded into the small of Convoy's back, hidden beneath its headlight-flaps in [[robot mode]]. Lacking the trailer of MP-4, the figure instead comes with a redecoed version of the electronic base included with Hasbro's "[[#20thDVD|DVD Edition]]" of the figure from five years prior, which now features a collection of sixteen soundbytes of Convoy delivering famous lines from the Japanese version of the Generation 1 cartoon, recited by the character's original Japanese voice actor [[Tesshō Genda]]. The base was promoted as containing a hint as to the identity of the next ''Masterpiece'' toy; as it would turn out, this was a new version of Convoy himself (see below), foreshadowed by a sound clip on the base which played only intermittently, and which had Convoy announce that he would "soon be reborn".

:For its release in Korea, Hasbro Asia provided a [[collector coin]] featuring truck-mode Optimus Prime on one side and "MP-01L" on the other. The coin came mounted on a card featuring lineart of the Autobot leader's head, the stark black design of which could be mistaken for promoting the earlier "Sleep Mode" release. The limited release (and general lack of enthusiasm for the collector coins in Korea) makes this one of the more difficult Masterpiece coins to find.

*'''Convoy''' (2011, 2016)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-10'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#mp10|Ion blaster]], [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#mp10|Matrix of Leadership]], [[Energon-axe#mp10|energon-axe]], [[Combat Deck (G1)#mp10|trailer/Combat Deck]], [[Roller (G1)#Masterpiece|Roller]], [[Spike Witwicky (G1)#Masterpiece|Spike Witwicky figurine]]
:MP-10 Convoy, advertised as a "perfect new model" on its packaging, is an entirely new tooling of Generation 1 Optimus Prime. Convoy is now smaller, making him more in-scale with other recent ''Masterpiece'' toys, such as [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Masterpiece|Rodimus]], and comes with a trailer and various accessories. While the front of the vehicle mode's cab is an accurate depiction of a mid-to-late-1980s Freightliner FLT cabover, the back half, (which is, as usual, made out of Convoy's legs) is much larger and robot-leggier in proportion. (So much that they sculpt a ladder on each side.)

:Many of the small features and electronics of the original ''Masterpiece'' mold are left out. Instead, this Convoy features better overall cartoon accuracy (chest interior, head, etc.), an extensive red paint job that covers much of his red plastic, corrected robot mode proportions, improved articulation, and its gun can now collapse and store inside a compartment on its back in either mode. In addition to Convoy's trailer, which can transform into Combat Deck, it also comes with Roller, a small Spike Witwicky figurine, a die-cast metal Matrix of Leadership (with a clear blue plastic center), and an energy axe that slips over Convoy's right hand. Spike can fit inside the cab in vehicle mode, ride in Roller's seat, or fit into any of the seating compartments inside Convoy's trailer. Roller has options to plug in Convoy's gun or pull Convoy's trailer, and the trailer itself can store Convoy's weapons in any mode. Although not easily breakable, care must be taken for posing the index fingers; extending the finger even far would cause it to pop off.

:Being a brand new and intricate remake of the Autobot leader, MP-10 was used as the gold standard in terms of scale for future Masterpiece figures, with all the upcoming releases being sized to best match him. Much like his older incarnation, he was also cherished by collectors, generating heated debates on which version is the best one up to this day.<ref>https://www.google.pt/search?q=mp01+vs+mp10</ref>

:On the other hand, this mold also became a staple source for various [[knockoff]]s, ranging from recolored to upscaled/downsized figures.

:This figure was re-released in 2016, with the packaging now advertising the "Long Life Design" award which the ''Masterpiece'' line won that same year.<ref name="lldaward">[https://www.g-mark.org/award/describe/44648 Good Design Long Life Award: Transformers Masterpiece]</ref> This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|MP-10B Black Convoy]].

:An entirely new mold released to commemorate the brand's 35th anniversary, the third ''Masterpiece'' Convoy is a much more complex and cartoon-accurate figure than previous releases. At 50,000 yen (approximately $450 USD), this Convoy had the highest MSRP of any mass-market ''Transformers'' toy until ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|War for Cybertron]]'' [[Unicron/toys#War for Cybertron|Unicron]]'s $575 price tag was announced.

:Alongside the Trailer (which retains the same function and can hold 4 standard-sized Autobot cars at a time when open), Roller, the Ion Blaster, Matrix of Leadership, and Energon Axe, the Combat Deck's base can be removed and with the new flip-out wheels, Roller (now cast in stark grey with silver rims) can tow it around. The cannon and arm section can also be removed so it can function as a flight stand, while an adapter for [[Dinobot (BW)#Masterpiece|MP-41 Dinobot]]'s display stand is also included, and the Ion Blaster now has 2 effect parts, which can stimulate blaster fire and when used with the Sideswipe rocket pack included, can be used as booster flames. He also comes with a fuel hose like that on the original figure, as well as a soundbox feature that can be switched between recorded lines by the character's original Japanese ([[Tesshō Genda]]) and English ([[Peter Cullen]]) voice actors, with transformation effects (though the ascending and descending transformation sounds are spliced together in his English voice) and Douglas Walsh music to boot! As to note, Cullen's clips are closer to the recent aligned portrayals.

:Like [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MP36|MP-36 Megatron]], Convoy includes a battle-damaged head and an abdomen cover to replicate the war wounds in the climatic battle in the movie, and alongside a modified version of MP-10's Spike figure, he comes with two of Sparkplug and Carly, any of them capable of riding inside via 2 small doors on the side of the cab. A second alternate head is based on his head's rounder design seen in the first season of the cartoon and the Marvel Comics. His accessories can be stored in the trailer's removable undercarriage.

:This figure, with the included intakes and alternate head in place, also doubles as [[Starscream (G1)/toys#MP44|Starscream]] from "[[Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1]]".

:Unfortunately, Convoy has been known to suffer from differing quality control issues. Because of a design flaw, certain plastic parts in his lower ratcheted knee joints tend to build stress during movement and eventually break. Furthermore, grey and yellow paint in parts that tend to get scratched and bumped during transformation have been prone to paint chipping. Some units have come with their [[For safety reasons|soft plastic]] ear antennas on different heads warped in-package. The human minifigures can have their ball jointed limbs rather easily popping out of their sockets and misassembled ( in this case, Carly with her groin part in reverse from the front).

:Unlike MP-01 and MP-10, this version of Convoy did not get a fully localized Hasbro release for English-speaking markets. However, it is being imported by Hasbro through numerous retail outlets with additional branding using the localized Optimus Prime name and presumably with the same Hasbro-branded slipcover and English safety sheet given to other contemporary ''Masterpiece'' releases. In Canada, the figure is being released as an EB Games exclusive, where he'll cost even more than the game consoles sold there! Hasbro's online product description neglects to mention the voice box gimmick, possibly due to English-speaking audiences' unfamiliarity with Japanese ''Transformers'' media and the fairly late reveal of his English-language voice clips.

: ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' "G1 Convoy" (as he is amusingly referred to even in fiction) visibly takes its cue from ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime, featuring a similar sculpt, but sharing few to none of the larger toy's other attributes, least of all anything that could be described as a successful transformation.

:G1 Convoy comes with two sets of fists, each pair featuring differently-shaped fist holes: one pair with square holes to hold the figure's "Convoy Gun" (as his ion blaster is called), and the other with round 3mm-compatible holes to hold the spring-loaded translucent blue missile launcher (a generic accessory also available with ''Robotmasters'' [[Megatron (BW)/toys|Beast Megatron]] and [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Beast Convoy]]). The fists are swapped out by simply popping them out of the wrist-hinge that holds them in place; the figure also includes an energon-axe that can be inserted into the wrist instead of a fist.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Spy Changer, 2004)

: ''Universe'' Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Scourge (RID)#Spychanger|Scourge]] [[Spy Changer]] toy. He replaces most of the black plastic with predominantly red and blue, with silver for detailing, with an overall deco making him resemble the original Optimus Prime. Like most Spychangers, he features high speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly.

: Originally a KB Toys exclusive, the first release of this toy (and the others in the assortment) did not have any sub-line designation at all, but later releases for other chains, most notably "budget" chains like Family Dollar, marked them as ''Universe'' product.

:This mold would later be redecoed into [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Optimus Prime Figure|a Spy Changer version of]] the live-action movie [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]].

==Hybrid Style==
*'''Convoy''' (2006)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''T.H.S.-02'''[[File:THS02Convoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Expensive and tiny.]]
**''Accessories:'' Trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, ion blaster, gas pump, energon-axe, Autobot Matrix of Leadership, [[jet pack|rocket pack]], 8 fists (4 left, 4 right), Autobot insignia stand

: ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime is an ''insanely'' detailed and complex transforming toy, created under the supervision of famed mecha designer [[Shōji Kawamori]]. Standing only three and three-quarter inches tall in robot mode, the figure is partially constructed from die-cast metal and features one of the most complex transformation sequences ever seen on a ''Transformers'' figure of its size. Alas, the small size of the figure also works against it, as it required several design concessions that resulted in (if we're being nice about it) an unimpressive cab mode.

:Prime is loaded with a ridiculous number of features and accessories. The robot itself is highly poseable, and both the smokestacks on Prime's shoulders and the fuel tanks on his legs can be rotated forward to act as guns, even featuring sculpted detail to this effect. As ever, he comes with a trailer that opens up into his crazy-detailed Combat Deck, featuring more action features than ever before. In trailer mode alone, it features a flip-down support stand so it can stand alone, a spring-loaded pop-out ramp instead of a fold-down one, and when the trailer is split for transformation, the traditional support legs underneath automatically swing out into place. The trailer houses most of Prime's accessories, including his ion blaster (with a moveable ammo clip to allow for multiple poses) and energon-axe, as well as his classic gas pump accessory, now with a poseable wire instead of a rubber hose. Two fold-out compartments provide storage space for six of Prime's interchangeable fists, while the other two remain attached the robot: two clenched, two open, a pointing right fist, a tilted left fist (for holding the ion blaster's ammo clip), and two fists with slots to grip the miniscule Matrix of Leadership that fits in a tiny chamber in Prime's chest. The Combat Deck's artillery robot features two flip-out handles that Prime can grip as if aiming the drone's guns, and Roller is also included, with three different 3mm ports to hold Prime's gun and gas pump. Lastly, Prime comes with a rocket pack like those used by the Autobots in such Generation 1 cartoon episodes as "[[Dinobot Island, Part 1|Dinobot Island]]", and a stand shaped like the Autobot insignia that allows him to be displayed in mid-air, as if in flight. The rocket pack also has 3mm ports for Prime's weapons, and stores on the front of the trailer in vehicle mode.

:Purchase of a ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime at a Japanese [[Toys"R"Us]] store allowed the buyer the option of also purchasing the exclusive ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Smallest Transforming Transformers|Hot Rod]] toy.

:Available exclusively through e-Hobby, this black and teal repaint of ''Hybrid Style'' Convoy features the traditional "[[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]]" color scheme, but represents a version of Optimus Prime himself. In addition to all the original accessories, the toys also includes several more deliciously metatextual goodies, themed around the ''Generation 2'' toy and comics: two new large guns patterned after the new weapons wielded by the ''Generation 2'' Optimus Prime toy, and two additional (blue) Prime heads that can be swapped with the figure's regular noggin, sculpted explicitly in the style of [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]] artist [[Derek Yaniger]]. One head is pristine, the other decorated to match the battle damage seen on the cover of the [[War Without End!|first ''Generation 2'' issue]].

:As the more franchise-savvy TransFans may realise, these extra parts, plus the black trailer of Convoy Black Version, can all be used to modify the original, red ''Hybrid Style'' Optimus Prime into a comic-accurate ''Generation 2'' version, complete with a black trailer, trailer-mounted guns and your choice of Yaniger-style heads.

:This figure came in a unique box, packaged with a [[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version|mini-comic]], both illustrated by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]].

[[File:Convoy BT.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|...and neither do I...]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2006)
**''Alternator ID number:'' '''21'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun
: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Optimus Prime transforms into an accurate 1:24 scale Dodge Ram SRT-10. The vehicle mode features rubber tires, functional steering, opening hood, tail gate and doors with a detailed cabin interior. Several of the details of his [[robot mode]] body are based on the sculpt of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime figure, but the head itself shares more similarities with the Powermaster mold. He is armed with a small pistol which transforms into his vehicle mode engine.

:This figure was originally conceived by Hasbro to be another character (exactly who is unknown), rather than Optimus Prime, but Takara insisted that the toy be made into Optimus to help it sell well in their markets, as the vehicle mode was no particular draw, given its scarcity in Japan. Reportedly, the figure cost twice as much as other Alternators to construct, so Hasbro had to bow to this demand so Takara would help fund it. Ironically, Takara eventually wound up soliciting the figure ''not'' as Prime, but as his ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' lookalike, [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] (perhaps connected to the Powermasteresque headsculpt), before its Japanese release was cancelled and moved over into the ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' toyline (see below).

: It took two further years, but this figure was eventually released as part of the Japanese counterpart to the ''Alternators'' line (''Binaltech'') in 2008. ''Binaltech'' Convoy features some additional paint details, like his silver pelvis, additional patterns on his shoulders, and red paint on his engine-gun, and like all ''Binaltech'' figures, he also includes die-cast metal pieces. Unlike previous Binaltech releases, a bio-card was not included.

:This sculpt was also used to create ''Alternators'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]]

*'''Convoy X Melissa''' (2006)
**''Accessories:'' Engine/gun, "[[Surfblade]]" surfboard/sword weapon, [[Marissa Faireborn]] figurine with stand and 2 pairs of arms and legs

: ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' Convoy is a redeco of ''Alternators'' Optimus Prime. While the figures may appear similar at first glance, given that ''Kiss Players'' Prime is still red, blue and black, there are many subtle differences, not least of all the replacement of the ''Alternators'' figure's bare, flat red plastic with a deep metallic red paint. Several of his body parts are cast in different colors of plastic (for example, his shins, formerly black, are now blue, while his formerly-blue hands are now black), and he features more intricate paint applications on his shoulders, and especially his pelvis, which is decorated to look like Prime's traditional bumper.

:In addition to the small engine-pistol of his ''Alternators'' figure, Prime comes with the "Surfblade", a pink surfboard that can be reconfigured into either two small knives or a large double-bladed sword. As with all the ''Kiss Players'' figures, Prime also comes with a [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of a cute girl: in this case, Marissa Faireborn, who can perch upon his shoulder or sit in his driver's seat, and comes with two pairs of interchangeable arms and legs. Additionally, the set includes a CD featuring the first five episodes of the [[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|''Kiss Players'' radio drama]], as well as the exclusive bonus audio adventure, "[[Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#CD collections and special episodes|Someday, Under the Sun]]."

:This set was originally intended to be released under the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Binaltech Asterisk]]'' line, as "Black Convoy meets Marissa", but this release was cancelled before it was officially even announced.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster, display stand

: Based on Optimus Prime's [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] form as seen in the [[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] comic book "[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]", this version of Prime transforms into Cybertronian truck. The figure was personally designed by comic artist [[Don Figueroa]], who created the original comic design in the first place, and his signature is left on the figure in the most literal way: the word "DON" can be seen sculpted into the barrel of his silver ion blaster.

:As a ''Titanium'' figure, Prime is made in large part from die-cast metal, but like so many of the other toys in the ''Titanium'' line, his plastic joints have trouble supporting his heavy metal weight. He comes with the generic display stand shared by all of the 6" "Cybertron Heroes", with a unique removable nameplate.

:As the mass retail release of the last waves of the ''Titanium'' "Cybertron Heroes" figures was delayed for several months, the two-pack version of Megatron was at least initially more widely available than the individually packaged one.

:Despite being mentioned in the joint [[instructions]] leaflet for the set, neither figure includes their display base.

:There appears to be a variant of this two-pack: One version has the Optimus Prime figure more or less identical to its individual release, whereas the other one drops the additional black paint weathering, making him much cleaner-looking.

: ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Optimus Prime is an all-new modern Optimus Prime design based upon the original Optimus Prime, as is the intention for the ''Classics'' toyline. He transforms into a modern cab-over style truck of made up model, dominated by a large wind vane on his roof. As with most ''Classics'' toys, he features a heat-sensitive [[rubsign]].

:In [[robot mode]], his wind vane transforms into a large ion blaster, and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon. Additionally, both weapons can combine together to form a double-barrelled over-shoulder weapon. Undocumented in the instructions, Optimus can also use the wind vane as a shield, If one of his fists is folded down.

:The toy has a trailer hitch, but does not come with a trailer. There do exist several [[IP infringing item|unlicensed upgrade kits]] that have a trailer compatible with all versions of this mold.

:Unfortunately, the yellow paint on his forearms tends to flake off.

**''Accessories:'' Laser rifle

: This ''Classics'' Optimus Prime is a smaller, Deluxe Class figure with a noticeable physical resemblance to Takara's ''[[#Robotmasters|Robotmasters]]'' Prime figure, and a transformation that is about as successful. The figure is armed with a tommy gun-shaped laser rifle that transforms into a turret-like configuration and mounts on the rear of his truck mode, and features a spinning "power punch" action that sees the whole upper half of his torso spin when a button on his back is pressed. Pressing the button "unlocks" the spinning mechanism; pull ''hard'' on the button, and you can lock the torso back into place.

:In the United States, Prime was only available in a special two-pack with a similarly unique ''Classics'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Classics (2006)|Megatron toy]], and the specially-produced "[[Optimus Prime vs Megatron: The Ultimate Battle|The Ultimate Battle]]" DVD (which is, inappropriately enough, entirely about the [[Unicron Trilogy]]). The two-pack (including the DVD) was also available as a [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] "Bonus Value" version with two randomly selected members of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Giant Planet Mini-Con Team]], in the combinations [[Overcast (Cybertron)|Overcast]]/[[Longarm (Cybertron)|Longarm]], Overcast/[[Deepdive (Cybertron)|Deepdive]] and Deepdive/Longarm. International markets, including European countries, saw the two-pack in a considerably smaller, differently-shaped box that was lacking the DVD case (the DVD was instead made available separately). In addition, Mexico, Singapore and some European countries such as the Netherlands and Hungary also received the two figures on individual cardbacks. For the United States market, the two-pack was [[rebranding|rebranded]] and re-released in [[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|2003 ''Universe'']]-branded packaging later in 2007, available from Dollar General, Big Lots and [[KB Toys]], and ''again'' in [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']]-branded packaging in 2011, this time available from Dollar General and Big Bad Toy Store.

:This figure was later ''also'' made available without redeco as part of the "Leader for the Ages" two-pack released under the [[#Transformers (2007)|live-action movie line]] (see below) and saw several redecos for [[#Universe (2008)|''Universe'']] ("Special Edition", below), ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' ("Sons of Cybertron", above) and [[#United|United]] (below).

: Produced to coincide with the 20th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'' and its release on DVD by [[Sony]], this edition of Prime is a redeco of his [[#20th Anniversary/Masterpiece|20th Anniversary]] figure. It replaces the original's metallic paint with flatter colors and does away with any and all vacuum-metalized plastic, as well as altering several other small details across the body, like the color of the lights on his feet and chest.

:Prime comes with all the accessories of his previous release, although his ever-changing ion blaster is now somewhat confusingly cast in blue plastic. He features one major additional accessory: an electronic display base sculpted with the image of the Matrix and the Autobot insignia. Pressing the insignia's crest triggers a series of electronic soundbytes, mostly quotes from the movie recited not by original actor [[Peter Cullen]], but by Hasbro's in-house actor, [[Ron Hayden]]: "Autobots, transform and roll out!", "I want you to make a special run to Autobot City," "Megatron must be stopped!", "All we need is a little energon, and a lot of luck," and two samples of the classic [[Transformation#The noise|transformation sound effect]], one ascending, one descending.

:The display stand itself was later redecoed as a mail-in prize for TakaraTomy's ''[[Welcome to Transformers 2010]]'' promotion, intended to be used with ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus Convoy]], and again when it was packaged with the "Last Production" run of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy.

*'''Pepsi Optimus Prime''' (Autobot, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, ion blaster, trailer

:Inspired by the [[#The Transformers|1985 promotional version]] of Optimus Prime that featured Pepsi stickers on his trailer, this outlandish incarnation of Prime is a slightly altered version of Takara's 2005 [[Pepsi Convoy]] figure (which represented a different character to Prime). The figure was only sold by [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] at various conventions, and given away as a promotional prize by Pepsi, via their [[Mountain Dew]] brand.

:A redeco of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime cab robot sporting an egregious number of Pepsi-themed paint masks and details, Pepsi Prime's differences from Pepsi Convoy are minimal: he features the shortened smokestacks previously seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release of the mold, the blue pattern on his decals are different (matching the American Pepsi can/bottle look at the time rather than the one used in Japan), and also has a different layout for the Pepsi logo on his right shoulder. Like Pepsi Convoy, he comes with an entirely new trailer unit, specially designed to carry either a single 500ml (16.9 oz) size [[soft drink]] bottle, three 350ml cans, or 12 bottle caps (bottle cap figurines being a common and popular collectible item in Japan). In a first for the Prime mold, the figure's fists store in holes on the underside of the trailer while he is in vehicle mode. His ion blaster (which also stores under the trailer) is the first Hasbro reissue to feature the original, thick-barrel sculpt, which was reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' release of Prime a few years prior.

:Surely one of the strangest examples of licensed ''Transformers'' products, ''[[Transformers Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' Convoy transforms into a ''shoe''. Something of a [[shellformer]], this baffling incarnation of Prime is colored primarily white and red in his alt mode of a realistic-looking (if notably undersized) Nike Free 7.0 sneaker, complete with gratuitously long real fabric shoelaces. In [[robot mode]], he is made instantly recognizable by his incorporation of some additional blue and silver in predictable areas, and a traditionally Prime-styled head. Less traditionally, and somewhat perversely, Prime's feet are sculpted in the likeness of his own sneaker mode, making it seem like he's wearing himself!

:His gun splits into two halves and stores inside his [[kibble]] in shoe mode; in an undocumented feature, it has two handle pegs on opposite sides, so that it can be held either at its far end or halfway along its length. The gun halves can also be plugged together in two different ways.

:This figure was, in fact, the ''only'' mold in the ''Sports Label'' line. It was redecoed into the "Marine Free" version of Prime himself (see below), and given a new head to create ''Sports Label'' [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Sports Label|Megatron]]''

This edition of the figure featured no extra accessories, but it did include the original, thick-barrelled version of Prime's rifle, as reinstated to the mold by the ''[[#The Transformers Collection|Transformers Collection]]'' version of the toy a few years prior. Both his blue and red plastics are lighter than normal, though not to the extent of Hasbro's 25th Anniverary releases. Notably, this edition addresses the small but persistent issue of Prime's shoulder-sticker: the figure's shoulders are textured with small bumps, which had, since 1984, made evenly applying the Autobot symbol sticker to his left arm a challenge. ''Encore'' Prime finally replaces the sticker with a tampograph, and also adds one to his right shoulder for symmetry.

This version of Prime is an all-white redeco of the original Generation 1 cab robot, which (much like the "Marine Version" of Prime from the ''[[#Sports Label|Sports Label]]'' line) makes it seem like he ought to be Ultra Magnus. The figure is actually even derived from the retool of the mold created for the original Ultra Magnus figure, as distinguished by the elongated hubcap pegs on the front wheels. Like Pepsi Prime before it, the figure's fists now store in peg holes on the under side of its trailer. The toy lacks any of the original Prime's stickers (even the silver stripe on his chest is now a [[paint operation]]) and includes the original thick-barrelled version of Prime's blaster. The toy features a brand new headsculpt based on the [[#20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]] Prime figure, given additional poseability not previously seen on the figure by being mounted on a [[ball joint]].

:This, of course, is all secondary to the main draw of the figure: it pulls an all-white trailer, which transforms into a working iPod speaker dock by rotating a substantial wedge of its full length 90 degrees . The dock features three working buttons; power, volume up and volume down, as well as an Autobot sigil indicator light. Included is a wall-plugging (Japanese) A/C adaptor with a long lead that plugs into the reverse of the trailer. Although American importers shouldn't have too much trouble, those living in parts of the world using higher strength A/C current outlets should be warned NOT to simply plug the A/C adaptor in with only a socket adapter, as this will overload the device and fry it completely. Buying the appropriate kind of universal A/C adaptor with advice from an electronics specialty shop is recommended.

:Designated "Optimus Prime" rather than the traditional Japanese "Convoy", this figure is a redeco of the previous ''Music Label'' Convoy figure into the character's traditional red, blue and silver color scheme. Unlike previous re-issues of the mold, iPod Optimus Prime's sports a paint application similar to KissPlayers Convoy, having its ABS/PVC parts painted over with a thin layer of his iconic red, white (silver if you will) and blue motif paint applications (with the exception of his iPod docking trailer). This includes his trailer, though the effect is somewhat marred by the large, visible gap on one side. When reconfigured into dock mode, the interior surfaces surrounding the speakers are decorated with black-on-silver techno-patterns as well as three "Optimus Prime" logos. The recessed space also features a stylised, almost [[Frank Miller]]esque, high-contrast portrait of Prime's face, although this is largely covered when an iPod is inserted. The figure comes in identical packaging to the original ''Music Label'' Convoy, save for the addition of a sticker illustrating the different color of its contents.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

:Rounding out a bumper year of Japanese-[[exclusive]] Generation 1 Optimus Primes, the Takara-licensed Kawada brand ''Diablock'' Convoy is a fully transformable Lego-style block building figure similar in premise to the earlier American ''[[Built to Rule!]]'' sets. The ''Diablock'' figure, however, easily outstrips the ''Built to Rule!'' sets by both being an accurate representation of the toy on which it is based, and being able to transform between modes ''without'' having to be partially disassembled and put back together first.

:Forming a roughly 11-inch figure when fully assembled, ''Diablock'' Convoy is highly articulated, save for his head, which is only able to move up and down. Said head is also by far the most stylised aspect of the figure, with no real attempt to approximate Prime's face or mouthplate, instead featuring only a reversed block that gives the odd impression of a cycloptic eye. It is possibly intended to actually represent his forehead grill, as a yellow block inside his head construction remains barely-visible through a slit in his face, possibly intended to represent the classic toy's yellow eyes.

:The figure's [[transformation scheme]] is based on the original G1 figure, the only differences being that the fists are not removed but become the headlights, and instead of flipping backwards inside the chest, ''Diablock'' Convoy's noggin flips forwards with the aid of opening chest windows. A "laser rifle" in the shape of his ion cannon can be built from black bricks, and stickers bearing the Autobot [[Insignia|faction symbol]] can be placed on his shoulders, although this is not recommended as it is designed to permanently stick to multiple tiles which dislodge easily and may damage the sticker.

:''Henkei! Henkei! Transformers'' Convoy is a redeco of ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager Class Optimus Prime. He features a significantly altered colour scheme, generally to make the toy more closely resemble his appearance in the Generation 1 cartoon and the original toyline. His truck mode features less silver paint striping, but compensates with a [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metalized]] grill/fender area. In [[robot mode]] all of his previously grey plastic is replaced with red plastic, with a majority of it being painted silver, chromed, or painted gunmetal gray. He features a different shade of red, blue, and clear blue plastic than the Classics version. Since ''Henkei!'' toys do not feature a heat-sensitive rubsign, ''Henkei'' Convoy has two Autobot sigils tampographed onto his shoulders.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Accessories:'' Laser Blaster, 2 fists (left & right), trailer/Combat Deck, Roller, 4 rockets, hose, nozzle, fuel pump, sound effects module, comic, DVD

:Sold at the rather exorbitant price of $75, this re-release of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime toy is actually one of the most visually different from the other "straight" reissues of the mold, despite Hasbro's assurance that this is the toy you had as a kid. Positively ''anemic'' in comparison with the original toy, this Prime's red parts are visibly paler than usual, while his blue parts are much lighter (although the version released at Canadian retail reportedly sports a deeper shade of red again). This shade of blue extends to both Roller (a lighter blue than his traditional dark shade, yet darker than the lightest the figure has been in its history) and the internal workings of his Combat Deck, which is itself a much flatter shade of light grey, compared to its normal dark, swirled metallic silver color. In addition, the toy features the now-customary shortened smokestacks, and the elongated missiles seen on the [[#Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]] release. While all reissues of the Prime mold since 2003 have used the original thick-barreled mold for his ion blaster, this version includes the slender sculpt instead.

:As a 25th anniversary set, Prime includes several new pack-in bonuses: a reprint of the [[The Transformers (issue)|first issue]] of the original [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|comic book]], a DVD containing all three parts of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|animated series]] pilot [[More than Meets the Eye (mini-series)|"More than Meets the Eye"]], and three desktop wallpapers, and a battery-powered Autobot symbol that plays transforming sound effects, part of the first version of the ''Transformers'' [[theme song]], and three voice clips performed by Peter Cullen: "I am Optimus Prime!", "Autobot, transform and roll out!" and "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost." There are some reports that the Autobot symbol could be worn out or damaged during the time of purchase.

:Outside the United States, this set was available in a thinner rectangular box. It contained all the original accessories from the American release, but not the DVD. An English-only version of this packaging format was available in Asia and Australia (initially only available at Myer stores, but later also at Toys"R"Us, Kmart and Target, eventually at drastically reduced prices), while a bilingual English/French packaging variant was available in Canada, still including—though not advertised on the packaging—the (English only) comic book.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''A-01'''

:''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' Convoy transforms into a 1:32 scale Nissan GT-R, featuring die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. This complex figure stands at 6.5" tall, and is armed with a pair of blasters on each arm. In the hyper-dimensional world of the oft-confusing ''Alternity'' fiction, this figure specifically represents the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Story of Binaltech|Optimus Prime]] of [[universal stream]] [[Primax 903.0 Beta]].

:The mold suffers from a [[Design flaw|minor design oversight]], wherein the rear Nissan badge collides with his left leg strut when the left foot is hinged over and pegged into a clear plastic socket during transformation, with the results being that the connection is slightly crooked, isn't very secure, and sometimes pops off, and that the crooked pegging often causes the socket to crack.

:''Alternity'' Convoy was simultaneously available in both this silver coloration, and a deco based on his traditional appearance termed "Vibrant Red" (see below). The figure was later redecoed to create "[[Nemesis Prime (Universe)#Alternity 2|Convoy Super Black]]" (representing not Optimus Prime, but ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Nemesis Prime (Universe)|Nemesis Prime]]), ''Alternity'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Alternity|Ultra Magnus]], and ''Alternity'' [[Dai Atlas (Zone)#Alternity|Dai Atlas]]. It was retooled into ''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'' [[#GT|GT-R Prime]], [[Star Saber (Victory)#GT|GT-R Saber]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Megatron]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

:"Vibrant Red" ''Alternity'' Convoy is a redeco of the "Ultimate Silver" figure in the much more traditional red and blue Prime color scheme, representing the Optimus Prime of universal stream [[Primax 109.0 Beta]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' [[Laser Rod (weapon)|Sword]]

: Part of the sixth wave of the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' toyline]], this Optimus Prime is an all-new Deluxe class mold based on the original ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Laser Optimus Prime toy ([[#LaserOptimusPrime|see above]]). Transforming into a racing truck, he has some influences from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus Prime]], including the more defined flames on his hood, athletic [[robot mode]] proportions and a more aggressive-looking translucent orange sword that can be held with both hands for maximum extreme chopitude. Optimus Prime features extensive use of translucent plastic in his arms, head and upper torso for a [[light-piping]] effect. Optimus also has a (non-detachable) matrix gimmick in robot mode that is formed by a relief pattern on the inside of the cab's side windows and is visible through the windshield/chest in robot mode. Like the Legends toy, he's part of "[[Reveal the Shield]]" and features a [[rubsign]], this time on the roof. He is also ''very'' articulated and poseable, even featuring ankles and wrists that are both [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ''and'' [[Swivel joint|hinged]].

: The original Hasbro [[Stock photography|stock photos]] depict him as having red [[paint operation]]s on his kneecaps and the sunken ridges around his blue abs that the final product lacks. The photos on the cardback show him with a red Autobot symbol on his truck door and blue plastic instead of grey for the piece just in front of his rear tires. The back photo also depicts his side windows as being the same translucent orange as the front ones, when they are, in reality, a garish solid orange.

: Multiple reports suggest that the toy suffers from a [[design flaw]], inferior plastic quality, or both: Due to his hands having peg-holes that are a bit too small to accommodate 5mm posts, they have a tendency to show stress marks on the inside after pegging his sword handle (or most other pegs) inside. Stress marks also tend to appear near his tiny hinged wrists. Fortunately, there have been no reports of the hands actually ''breaking'' on either location thus far.

: This toy was redecoed into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]/[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Optimus Prime (SG)#BotCon2012|Optimus Prime]] and ''Timelines'' [[Scourge (RID)#Timelines|Scourge]], and was retooled into ''Timelines/Shattered Glass'' [[Ultra Magnus (SG)#Timelines|Ultra Magnus]].

While the paint masks are identical to the Special Edition release, ''United'' Optimus Prime features additional paint operations on the hip, the stomach grille, the fold-up waist panels, the lower chest piece (at least in the front), and the forehead.

:Although the stock photo (pictured from the right) shows that both of his biceps is painted silver while his Autobot insignia is tampographed on his left shoulder, the final product omits the paint operation (due to being molded with unpaintable plastic) and the insignia is placed on his left forearm, just like his ''Classics'' figure.

:The third ''United'' Optimus Prime toy is a redeco and slight retool of the [[#Transformers (2010)|Deluxe Class figure]] from Hasbro's 2010 ''Transformers'' toyline, itself an homage to Prime's ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|"Laser" form]]. The toy features translucent blue plastic as opposed to Hasbro's orange, red paint is used on the biceps instead of blue paint, extra red paint applications on the knees like the original's sticker detail, and more broken-up red apps on the shoulders. Silver detailing was added to the cab mode on the grill, the bumper, and near the doors. The blue plastic in cab mode is now black plastic to make the figure more accurate to the ''Generation 2'' original. The gray plastic is changed from the Hasbro version to more closely match the [[#G2reissue|2006 reissue of Laser Optimus Prime]]. Black paint was applied to the cab mode to mimic the fade from red to black on the original Laser Optimus, but still includes a flame deco like the Hasbro version, only in a different design. It lacks the roof-mounted rubsign of the Hasbro version, instead including Autobot insignias on the cab doors. (Disappointingly, they are Generation 1 insignias, rather than ''Generation 2'' ones!) Additionally, a retool was made to the peg on the inside of his right shoulder, to make it shorter and wider than the Hasbro version, allowing it to move freely without hitting the torso, unlike the Hasbro release.

Gentei!'']] black version of [[#Henkei! Henkei!|''Henkei! Henkei!'' Convoy]], itself a redeco of the [[#Classics (2006)|''Classics'' Voyager Class toy]]. As such, Black Optimus Prime is mostly cast in black plastic, with some gray parts, translucent red windows and teal paint operations.

:The only differences with the unreleased version, aside from the packaging, are that silver paint has been added to the previously unpainted grill/fender area, the blue paint operations have been changed to teal, and the red Autobot insignias have been replaced by purple Decepticon ones. Prime's [[bio]] apparently explains that he took on this new color scheme in order to infiltrate the Decepticon ranks, in response to recent attacks by some new Decepticon forces pretending to be Autobots.

**''ID number:'' '''CH01'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster|Laser rifle]], trailer

:This reissue of the original Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure comes in a two-pack with the Deluxe-Class ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime figure]]. Prime himself is almost identical to the ''Encore'' release, save for his trailer hitch which was retooled to allow a peg to be inserted within it while still being able to be inserted into the trailer itself (making it compatible with his G1 trailer and the new trailer included). Like the Encore release, he features lighter colors and tampographed shoulder symbols (which vary slightly from the Encore release).

:His original trailer is not included with the set; instead, he comes with [[Armored Weapons Platform#Chronicle|a new deluxe-scaled trailer]], not available with any other figure, based on the one towed by Prime in ''Dark of the Moon''. The trailer is compatible with both figures, and sports [[5mm post]]-holes that will hold (among many other things) G1 Prime's laser rifle and the [[MechTech]] weapon Movie Prime is armed with.

:Oddly, for their official [[stock photography|promotional photography]], Takara took an existing photo of Optimus Prime's robot mode that was at least a decade old, having previously been used as a very early (and inaccurate) illustration for Hasbro's then upcoming ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' reissue of the figure.

*'''Matrix Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Pieces'': '''10'''
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle

: Intended to be [[exclusive]] to [[BotCon 2011]], this redeco of the regular Optimus Prime Kreon has an open chest showing the [[Matrix of Leadership]] within. He comes with a G1 inspired gun and a black brick display stand.

: We say "intended", because in actuality, the thing appears to have been produced in such huge quantities that it's wound up being made available in ''loads'' of other places—it was handed out at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2011, offered as a free giveaway with any order that included Transformers toys on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]]), as a free gift on the cover of the ''[[Awesome Autobots Activity Book]]'', and came as a free gift attached to, of all things, issue #240 of the [[United Kingdom|UK]] children's comic, ''[[Doctor Who]] Adventures'' (but not the UK's [[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers comic]], you'll note!).

:A supposed factory error even caused this version (minus display stand) to be included in the larger Optimus Prime kit (see below). This problem has (presumably) been fixed, but it was awesome while it lasted.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''30689'''
**''Pieces'': '''542'''
**''Kreons'': Optimus Prime, Bluestreak, Skywarp, two Stunt Drivers
**''Accessories'': Optimus rifle, weapons sprue (sniper rifle, pistol, submachinegun, handcuffs, radio, ammo box), large tool sprue (shovel, hammer, electric drill, clamp), small tool sprue (socket wrench, screwdriver, wrench, hatchet), 2 traffic cones

: Naturally, Optimus Prime got the biggest of the sets in the first year of ''Kre-O''. The set can be built into a large long-nose tractor-trailer rig with a removable "sleeper" cab that hides a computer station, and a trailer that can carry the set's two motorcycles or open up to carry larger car builds. The robot mode build includes a huge Optimus, based largely on the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action movie Optimus]], though with a head based almost directly on the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Classics|''Classics'' Voyager Optimus]]. He is armed with a distressingly plain brick that fires pressure-launched missiles (aka his smokestacks). Most of the leftover parts in robot mode become a "headquarters" which is mostly just a random assemblage of mismatched-color panels and a pair of barricades. Both main builds leave numerous parts unused if you go expressly by the instructions, but hey, it's a building kit, surely you can find ''someplace'' to apply most of them.

: The set comes with a bevy of [[Kreon]]s, including Optimus Prime (this one based heavily on Generation 1 Optimus), [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Bluestreak]], [[Skywarp (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and a pair of human [[Stunt Driver]]s. A packaging error resulted in some releases of this set to come with the promotional "Matrix chest" Optimus (see above) rather than the normal version pictured here.

:Speaking of errors, the instruction manuals (he has two) both have errors in their parts listings, showing numerous pieces in the wrong colors or not making it clear that some parts are, well, clear. Making things more confusing, not all of these miscolors are reflected in the step-by-step instructions, while a couple new ones are added there.

:"Mini-Con Combiner"' Optimus comes with one standard Kreon and four ''Cityville''-syle mini-Kreons of the same character, each one a different incarnation from various franchises. With some extra parts, the mini-Kreons become limbs to make a larger combiner-bot.

: The main torso-bot is based on Generation 1 Optimus's original body. Two of his limbs are based on ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]; one "normal" (Inferno helmet), one pre-[[Earth]]-body (Knock Out helmet). Another is based on [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus]] (Soundwave helmet), and the remaining one (Ironhide helmet)... actually looks to be based on the Optimus-like-but-not-Optimus [[Micromaster]] [[Overload (G1)|Overload]]! The heck?

: Unfortunately, the Mini-Con Combiners apparently never saw release anywhere.

*'''Optimus Prime & Autobot Roller''' (Legends Class, 2013)
**''Series / Number'': '''02 / #001'''
**''Accessories'': Ion Blaster

:Part of the third wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Optimus Prime is a new mold that is roughly the same size as a ''[[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Commander Class toy. Both his truck and [[robot mode]] are based on his [[Don Figueroa]]-designed body from [[IDW Publishing|IDW's]] [[The Transformers (IDW)|ongoing series]], and features [[5mm post|5mm-compatible]] hands and roof. He comes with an [[Ion blaster#Legends|Ion Blaster]] which has both 5mm and 3mm posts.

: He comes with "[[Roller (G1)#Generations|Autobot Roller]]", who can transform into a six-wheel armored SUV, a robot with [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] hands, and a weapon with a 5mm handle. He has a 5mm hole in vehicle mode and a 3mm hole in weapon mode for mounting the Ion Blaster.

: Not depicted in the instructions or stock photos, Roller can attach to Prime in vehicle mode via two tabs on the vehicle front which slot into two corresponding slots on Prime's feet. Another undocumented feature is that the butt of the Ion Blaster can be inserted between the barrels of Roller's weapon mode to form a longer weapon. Also not shown in the instructions but depicted on the stock photo on the card-back is that Prime's shoulderpads can be rotated up; the intended positioning for this is notched, although you can position them at other angles.

: The stock photo of Optimus' vehicle mode is slightly mistransformed: his head slightly sticks out from the truck roof, which prevents the front windows to clamp together. This mold was also used to make ''Generations'' [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Generations|Nemesis Prime]], and retooled into [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] and [[Pipes (G1)|Autobot Pipes]].

:Part of the fifth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''Thrilling 30'' Orion Pax is a new mold with a robot mode inspired by [[Guido Guidi|Guido Guidi's]] design for the character, originally seen in ''[[Spotlight: Blurr]]''. Some liberties have been taken with the original concept to facilitate his truck mode, which is a new design not based on the Guidi art. He comes with his [[Ion blaster#Deluxe|Ion Blaster]] and an [[Energon-axe#Deluxe|Energon Axe]] with a transparent red-orange blade, both of which can peg onto 5mm ports on his hands and vehicle rear sides. Although not depicted on the instructions, the Ion Blaster can also peg into the hole in the larger blade of the Energon Axe. Even though the light-piping eyes are neutered by light blue paint, The side grooves are still able to light-up as the paint only focuses on the central optic.

:The American release is packed in with a copy of IDW's ''[[Omega's Conundrum|Spotlight: Orion Pax]]'', which sports a 'Hasbro Exclusive Cover' cropped from the [[Clayton Crain]] [[:File:Spotlight OrionPax cvrRI.jpg|retailer incentive cover]] for the issue. In Europe and Canada, the figure was released without the Spotlight.

:Since the hilt of the Energon axe is painted, inserting it onto any hand may cause it to scratch off.

:Most of the first-wave Orion Pax toys released in monolingual English [[packaging]] sport a bizarre [[quality control#Packaging images and labelling|error]]: The [[package art|character art]] on the side of the cardboard insert inside the blister bubble has the character art of Orion's [[wave]]-mate [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Deluxe|Megatron]] superimposed over Orion's own art. This error doesn't appear on the [[Multilingual packaging|European packaging]].

:The toy was later [[Redeco|recolored]] and [[retool]]ed to make ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Lio Convoy]], [[Optimus Prime (SG)#NovaPrime|Nova Prime]], and [[Galva Convoy]]. The mold was designed with a pre-tooled [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Kup]] head that remains unused.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/PetesRoboCon/posts/569672986709925</ref>

===Combiner Wars===
[[File:GenerationsVoyOP.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Beefcake is the right of all sentient beings.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2015)
**'''3 OF 5: [[Ultra Prime]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]: [[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Voyager Class toys, this is a bigger, bulkier incarnation of Optimus Prime with a striking resemblance to Ginrai. He comes with two blasters which he holds via 5mm post. One of the guns is based on his trademark Ion Blaster, and both weapons store on the back of his vehicle mode as a makeshift engine block. His torso mode has several details that appear to be influenced by [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Energon|''Energon'' Optimus Prime]]'s super mode, including the head, chest, and thighs. In particular, the chest details are modeled after the [[Spark of Combination]]. He also features two pair of fake windows on his robot and gestalt chest halves. The combiner head can be used as a robot mode head if you're feeling silly.

:Optimus suffers from a design flaw that many other Voyager Class figures in the ''Combiner Wars'' line experience: the detents, or "click points", on the heavily-ratcheted outward motion of his hips (which also form the hips of his torso mode) are few in number and very far apart. As a result, Prime's legs have great difficulty assuming the natural "A-stance" formation that the angled design of his foot sculpt seems to have been meant to accommodate. Likewise, when forming the torso of Ultra Prime, the interactions of the knee-lock mechanism and the hip detents almost always force Ultra Prime's legs into either an awkwardly knock-kneed arrangement or an equally awkward, and often unstable, bow-legged posture (as seen in the image to the right) that prevents Ultra Prime from standing flat-footed. Unlike Motormaster, this version of Optimus was the only one to not receive the improved hip ratchets implemented in its future releases in some shape or form by Hasbro, though they would be used for the Battle Core redeco later in the line. However, there are third party ratchet replacements for the hips.

:Apart from this, Optimus Prime is also the weakest link of the gestalt combination, due to a number of design failures attributed to his torso mode. The square holes-and-tabs used to secure the arms together when in torso mode are too weak to remain locked in place (though a very small amount of copies can secure the arm well), and are prone to falling out of position should an attached arm be moved. The torso mode's skirt plate is also attached to the stomach rather than the pelvis, rendering the waist swivel nearly worthless due to the skirt obstructing articulation.

:Being a ''Combiner Wars'' Voyager, Prime is naturally capable of transforming into a torso mode to combine with any 4 Deluxe Class ''Combiner Wars''-style toys, though his packaging call-out has him form Ultra Prime by combining him with Deluxe Class [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Alpha Bravo]] as the arms, and with [[Fireflight (G1)#Generations|Firefly]] and [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Decepticon Drag Strip]] as the legs. He can combine with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ironhide]] if one wishes to have an IDW-accurate Optimus Maximus.

:Optimus comes packaged with a collector's card featuring art from the initial release of the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game.

**'''3 of 5: [[Optimus Maximus (G1)|Optimus Maximus]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters (combine into large rifle)

:"Battle Core Optimus Prime" is a white redeco and slight retool of the previous ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus figure. According to the Hasbro panel at [[BotCon 2015]], his new head is based on Star Convoy (see above). For some reason, his deco appears to be influenced by [[Nova Prime]].

:The figure features newly redesigned hip ratchets to make both robot and combiner mode stable, which were also installed in both TakaraTomy's Motormaster, [[Grand Scourge#Unite Warriors 2|Grand Scourge]], and a revision wave of Hasbro's Motormaster. The pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack) attach to have also been slightly modified to provide a tighter fit, making the latter toy much less prone to falling out.

:Battle Core Optimus Prime can combine with any Deluxe Class toys with the ''Combiner Wars''-styled joint—but, of course, he is intended to be combined with [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Mirage (G1)/toys#CombinerWars|Mirage]], [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Generations|Prowl]], and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#CombinerWars|Ironhide]] to form [[Optimus Maximus (G1)#Generations|Optimus Maximus]].

:Battle Core Optimus Prime comes packaged with a collector's card based on his packaging art. the prototype printed on the back of the box & the stock photos, and the CG model in the instructions had him possessing a single tampographed/stickered symbol on his left arm.

:He and the last three waves of ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe and Voyager figures later started showing up at TJ Maxx at reduced prices.

===Cyber Series===
[[File:Generations-Cyber-Battalion-Optimus-Prime.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|No, not an upsized KO.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Battalion, 2015)
:Part of the new ''Generations Cyber Battalion'' series, Optimus Prime is a new mold which stands 7 inches tall, and transforms from a truck (which is based on the ''Generations Thrilling 30'' Legends Class Optimus Prime figure) into a robot in just 7 simple steps. The figure's transformation engineering had taken cues from the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class Optimus Prime]] figure, while it still retains the same ol' articulation.

:As with other earlier Cyber Series figures, Optimus Prime had a rather strange release cycle. At first, he only retailed exclusively in Asia and Latin America, with the closest to a U.S. release being in limited quantities from online retailer BigBadToyStore.com. He did, however, end up being available in the Universal Studios Theme Park, and also later as a Walgreens exclusive.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Commander, 2015)
:This new roughly 11-inch leader-sized mold of Optimus Prime transforms from a robot to trailer/truck combination and back, with the transformation taking cues from both the [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#2010Legend|''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class]] and [[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys#Legion Class|the ''Robots in Disguise'' Legion Class]] toys. Surprisingly, he does have a reasonable amount of articulation, including a balljointed head and hinged joints for his arms, shoulders and legs, plus lateral hinges for his feet. His head includes [[light-piping]] and, unlike other Cyber Series toys, his truck windows have ''actual'' transparent plastic rather than just being merely painted.

:A redeco of of the Cyber Commander toy above, this Prime features grey plastic replacing the original blue, some deco differences on the arms, body & legs. He also features a flame tampograph on the sides of his vehicle front. He comes in an altered packaging that replaces the first version's painted [[prototype]] [[stock photography|stock photos]] with CG renders depicting the new deco, and also features a new Hasbro product code number, thus making him officially a separate product rather than a drastic running change [[variant]].

:Interestingly, the side profile of the cab transitions from red to blue with a flame-like design, obviously nodding towards his movieverse counterpart.

===Titans Return===

*'''Autobot Apex & Powermaster Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2016)
**''Accessories:'' Two blasters, two shoulder cannons, [[Hi-Q#Generations|Apex]] Titan Master

:A heavy retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Generations|Ultra Magnus]], this Optimus Prime is based on the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy from 1988. Despite this, Hi-Q (now renamed 'Autobot Apex', presumably for trademark reasons) doesn't form the engine on Prime's chest; instead, he transforms into a de-faceplated version of the original Powermaster Optimus Prime cab robot head, over which a helmet slides during transformation to complete the Powermaster Prime look. In all three of Optimus Prime's modes are various pegs and seats with which Titan Master figures can interact. Like other Leader Class figures, his base mode can connect to other ''Titan Returns'' figures with base modes.

:Most notably in terms of new tooling, the panels on the undersides of Powermaster Optimus Prime's forearms feature slots under the fists, which allow the guns to tab in and be held much more stably than with Ultra Magnus. And due to the amount of empty space in the cab area in vehicle mode, Powermaster Prime can fully transform without the need to remove his head.

:Powermaster Optimus Prime also comes with a collector's card based on his packaging art.

:In an undocumented feature, because he comes with the same rifles as ''Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus'', his weapons can be combined into a huge, multi-barreled rifle.

:His instructions show that one of the two Titan Master seat guns can peg onto the top of his chest plate in base mode, but are unclear on exactly ''how''. The tab on the chest plate plugs into the hole where the Titan Master's feet peg in. However, in doing so the Titan Master will no longer fit.

:Due to the extra panels that were added to the legs, Optimus has trouble standing flat on both feet. Fortunately, this doesn't have any serious effect on the toy's stability due to the size of the feet.

:This mold was further retooled as ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Legends]]'' [[Ginrai (human)#Legends|Super Ginrai]], which was redecoed into Siege On Cybertron [[Magnus Prime#Generations|Magnus Prime]].

*'''Diac & Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Sword, Double-barreled rifle, [[Diac#Generations|Diac]] Titan Master

:This Optimus Prime is a new Voyager-sized Triple Changer mold, which transforms from robot to tanker truck to plane (based on the [[Action Master]] [[Armored Convoy]] vehicle) and back. His robot mode is heavily based on ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]], whilst the deco appears to draw from Star Convoy. His Titan Master partner [[Diac#Toys|Diac]] transforms into his head (but any Titan Master figure is compatible). Like all ''Titans Return'' Voyager class figures, he has built in mechanisms to "bulk up" his noggin. In his case these are spring-loaded pylons. His robot mode also features fake truck windows.

:This iteration of the mold and its redecos exhibit a minor design flaw: there are two tabs on the plane mode's wings that prevent the truck mode's trailer from fully closing at the rear. Ostensibly, this can be rectified by setting the wings slightly askew so they can properly flatten against each other. However, this leads to some holes on each wing not being lined up with some corresponding pegs on the trailer.

:This mold was redecoed into ''Legends'' [[Scourge (RID)#Voyager|Black Convoy]] and ''Street Fighter X Transformers'' [[Ryu#Toys|Ryu]], and retooled into [[Octane#Titans Return|Octone]]. Beginning with this wave, Hasbro changed the standard packaging design for ''Titans Return'' Voyagers from "Autobot" style to "Decepticon" style regardless of character faction.

:This mold would've been redecoed as "Action Master" Optimus Prime with a redecoed Infinitus Titan Master for the BotCon 2017 "Action on Hydrus Four" set that never came to be.

Unfortunately, the enormous stickers are usually poorly applied, resulting in peeling, trapped air bubbles, and misaligned placement.

:Refractor and Laser Prime were only available in a box set named "Chaos on Velocitron" that includes [[Dynamus#Generations|Dynamus]] and [[Quickswitch#Generations|Quickswitch]], [[Parsec#Generations|Parsec]] and [[Nautica (G1)#Generations|Autobot Nautica]], [[Fastlane#Generations|Fastclash]], and a [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#ChaosOnVelocitron|Rodimus Prime]] Titan Master head.

Despite this, it later became available via [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] in the United States (but not in Canada) as well, actually sold by Amazon directly (as compared to a third-party seller).

Like Year of the Goat Soundwave, Year of the Goat Optimus Prime features an awkward mix of orange, black, clear pink (in some parts including missiles, the discs, and even the pump!), some clear blue (the missile's tips), translucent plastic, and some hint of chrome silver (mostly his trailer parts, which happens to give the trailer somewhat of a resemblance to that of the aforementioned Scourge).

:Part of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' offerings for 2016 intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', this Optimus Prime is yet another redeco of the ''[[#Classics|Classics]]'' Voyager toy. Rather than the [[show-accuracy|show-accurate]] colors like the ''Age of Extinction'' 2-pack figure, the toy's deco is very similar to the ''Classics'' release, with some changes and omissions: his blue plastic is a dark metallic sheen, his knee's yellow detailing was removed, his small Autobot symbol tampograph was placed on his right shoulder, and his larger one is placed on his energy unit. His side door/arm kibble is left unpainted. According to [[Mark Weber]], this was meant to represent his abdominal area being torn in the movie's battle. (Yeah, we have no idea how it works, since the "battle damage" parts end up on his ''arms'' in robot mode.)

:Both his robot and vehicle mode [[stock photography|stock photos]] depict him slightly mistransformed.

:''Platinum Edition'' Optimus Prime was only available as part of a 2-pack with [[Megatron (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Megatron]], named "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" after Optimus Prime's famous line in the movie. In the United States and Canada, this set was officially released as an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] exclusive. It was also available in several of Hasbro's Asian markets (namely the Philippines and Singapore; it's currently unknown whether it was exclusive to any particular stores there or not). In Australia, it was sold at Myer stores, whereas in the United Kingdom, it was both sold at [[Toys"R"Us]] stores and available via Tesco's website (but never found in stores). Surprisingly, it was (and still is) a common find in Brazilian online stores.

He also comes with a new hoverboard accessory (resembling the one [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] used in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''), which Shreddicus Maximus (or any other Titan/Prime Master) can attach to. This board is designed to attach to the included three-piece skating ramp & rail assembly, which can be folded up and rebuilt into a railgun (get it?) that other figures can wield.

: Optimus & Shreddicus were initially [[exclusive]] to [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2017, where they sold out.

:''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' "Evolution Optimus Prime" transforms from a truck with a trailer into a robot and back. The individual truck transforms into his "Orion Pax" form based on his appearance in the Generation 1 episode "[[War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn]]", and he is able to form the core of Optimus Prime's robot mode. His trailer forms Prime's entire body, sharing a noticeable amount of details with MP-10 mold, most notably almost identical head sculpt. He is the first non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' G1 Optimus Prime figure to include removable [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix of Leadership]] accessory, which is stored in his chest in the 'Evolved' form. The center of his Matrix of Leadership can be replaced with any [[Prime Master#Toys|Prime Master]]. His [[ion blaster]] can be split into two weapons for Orion Pax to use, while also store on Optimus Prime's back via visible [[5 mm post]]s of Orion Pax's hands, though this is undocumented in the instructions. The Takara version of the mold lacks the production numbers located at his right shins. Depending on the individual copy, Optimus Prime is prone to having a number of quality control issues: ranging from two left/right arms and/or legs/feet on the evolution armor, to lacking stickers on the trailer pieces. On the other hand, the trailer can also be towed by any other figure with a compatible hitch.

:Part of the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' Voyager Class figures, Optimus Prime transforms from robot to [[For safety reasons|short-smokestacked]] Cybertronian armored truck and back. For an inexpensive mass-retail release, Optimus' robot mode is very accurate to his design from the original cartoon (albeit with added details) and also features excellent poseability on par with a ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' toy, resulting in a version of the character that gives collectors lots of bang for their buck. He includes two weapons compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]—the "W-50 Dual-Mech Energon Strikeshield," which is an axe that transforms into a shield, and the "W-M3 RF [[Ion blaster|Ion Blaster]]." Both weapons can combine to form the "Sentrystrike Ultra-Blaster." Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:In vehicle mode, opening the figure's windows shows the [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Matrix of Leadership]] molded into the plastic behind the windows. Due to the transformation, the Matrix doesn't end up in the chest in robot mode. Despite being a Voyager-scale figure, the truck mode is considerably small, in scale with a Legends-sized figure. Whether through coincidence or design, it's possible to fit a ''Power of the Primes'' Matrix core (and by extension, a [[Prime Master]] or [[Titan Master]]) in his chest.

:There is a message written in [[Cybertronian language|Cybertronian letters]] on Optimus Prime's box art, which reads "LIGHT THE DARKEST HOUR."

:While Optimus greatly resembles the inner robot of ''Siege'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], he is actually a completely different mold and therefore not compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]]. This mold is later used to make [[Nemesis_Prime_(G1)#War_for_Cybertron:_Siege|Nemesis Prime]].

:Part of the second wave ''Siege'' Leader Class figures, "Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime" is an extensive retool of the same line's [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ultra Magnus]], taking heavy design cues from [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#Cybertron|''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime]] (the Japanese series name being "''Galaxy Force''," which is referenced in the name). He transforms into a heavily armed fire truck like the ''Cybertron'' figure, but with a Cybertronian aesthetic. The two "W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers" are unpainted blasters from ''Siege'' Ultra Magnus, and as such, mirror the detailing placed just behind ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]]'s cab. Their hexagonal tips resembling ''Cybertron'' Optimus Prime's Super Mode leg cannons were likely a foresight for this retooling, but are molded in black rather than grey likely due to [[gang-molding]]. Optimus Prime also features "battle damage" paint applications on several parts of his body, as well as multiple hardpoints all over himself and his weapons to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the [[Battle Master]]s assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

:The core figure's robot mode is inspired by Prime's Generation 1 look, but with [[Kibble|vehicle mode details]] and coloration (including yellow eyes) based on the cab of his ''Cybertron'' counterpart. As with the original ''Cybertron'' figure, the barrel of the truck's left cannon can be detached and wielded by Prime as a rifle called the "JF-15 Gravity Force Laser." The sides of the bumper in truck mode can detach and form arm cannons based on his ''Cybertron'' counterpart's forearms. All five weapons are compatible with the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Because of the nature of the mold, additional shoulderpads [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|resembling halves of his truck cab]] were included to complete the Super Mode's resemblance to the template. The vehicle mode's cannons can be underslung and handheld similarly to the ''Cybertron'' figure thanks to the sliding pegs, but lack the original's gimmicks. Unlike Ultra Magnus, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime also features flip-out support struts on the leg armor to compensate the back's weight. While they're hardly needed since the armor's bulk is heavy enough to support the weight, the unflipped pieces also prevent the leg armors from standing flat.

:Unlike the above Voyager Class figure, this Prime is fully compatible with the [[Magnus Armor]], as is Ultra Magnus with Optimus's Super Mode gear.

:Amusingly, this figure actually received a full in-hand video review<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxCuap0yVlc TonTon Review's review of Siege Leader Optimus, 2 February 2019]</ref> before Hasbro officially unveiled its existence at [[Toy Fair 2019]]. The box art of his vehicle modes is [[Stock photography#Problems with stock photos|mistransformed]], likely as a result of using CGI renders; the two shoulder pieces are shown being left on, which is genuinely impossible and in fact appear to be clipped through each other. They are instead stored inside the leg armor, which forms the back end of the trailer. Strangely, the clear blue plastic used for the cab has light bars molded in, but they are painted over in red. Presumably this is to make the inner robot appear more like G1 Optimus, but results in a less accurate vehicle mode compared to the ''Cybertron'' design.

In addition, the grey plastics and paint operations are now replaced with white, and the tire rims' paint is omitted.

:Alongside fellow cel-shaded figure [[Megatron (G1)/toys#S66|Megatron]] and the other "35th Anniversary" Optimus was exclusive to [[Walmart]] in the United States and Canada, and among the first figures that debuted a new, "worldwide" [[multilingual packaging]] design that merged the languages typically found on European packaging with those found on American packaging. In a bit of a snafu, though, all the English texts on his packaging are simply repeated four times, instead of being translated into French, German, Spanish and Portuguese, or omitted in case two or more translations would be identical to each other (or to the English version).

===Selects===
[[File:TF-Generations-Selects-Star-Convoy.jpg|upright=3|thumb|"The Hate Plague is back?" (jams the Matrix on the gun)]]
*'''Star Convoy''' ([[September 28]], 2019)
**''Accessories'': trailer/evolution armor, ion-blaster (formed by two blasters), Silver Matrix

:''[[Transformers: Generations#Selects|Generations Selects]]'' Star Convoy is a retool of the [[#Power of the Primes|''Power of the Primes'' Leader Class mold]], featuring new lower legs, head, upper shoulders and waist parts for both the armor and inner robot, and a new torso for the latter. The Optimus Prime inner robot is remolded to resemble his Generation 1 toy, complete with toy-accurate yellow eyes. Most of the armor's grey parts (especially the evolution armor's arms) are now remolded in red plastic to be more accurate to Optimus's cartoon model, though there are a few sacrifices leaving some of the red patches on the trailer. The Matrix of Leadership is now replaced with the "Silver Matrix" that does not accommodate Prime Masters/Matrices/Enigmas, with the entire accessory dipped in chrome. The Matrix can be held by 5 mm fist holes and can combine with the guns to form a "Big Bang Cannon". Unlike the original versions of the mold, Star Convoy's stickers come on a sheet instead of being factory-applied. The star-shaped piece is prone to popping off from the chest if not transformed correctly, and unless it's flipped down, the piece also prevents the double chest windows from being opened in robot mode.

:This toy was released exclusively through [[TakaraTomy Mall]] and, thanks to brand unification, [[Hasbro Pulse]] and other online retailers in the United States and Canada. It is the first ''Selects'' figure to be developed by TakaraTomy.

:Unfortunately, the mold's hips have degraded on this figure.

**''Accessories:'' [[Ion blaster#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ion Blaster]], Shield/Ramp, Trailer/[[Combat Deck (G1)#Generations|Combat Deck]], [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Matrix of Leadership]]

:Released as part of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise (toyline)|Earthrise]]'' Leader Class lineup, this Optimus Prime is an all-new cartoon-accurate, Voyager sized mold with some parts reused from his ''Siege'' toy, although like the ''Siege'' toy, the truck mode is considerably small for a Voyager figure. For the first time for a non-''Masterpiece'' ''Generations'' toy, Optimus Prime comes with a trailer that converts into a combat deck/repair bay with an artillery robot. He is also the first Voyager-sized figure with an opening chest compartment containing a removable [[Matrix of Leadership]] accessory. His transformation scheme is an amalgam of both the ''Siege'' figure and the [[Optimus_Prime_(Movie)/toys#SS38|Studio Series ''Bumblebee'' Optimus Prime]]. The trailer's ramp detaches to form a shield and can connect to other ramps in the [[A.I.R. System]]. Like ''Siege'' Jetfire, Optimus Prime includes a swivel joint in each of his knuckles.
[[File:TF-WFC-ER-Prime-Comparison.jpg|left|300px|thumb|[[Cyclonus_(G1)/toys#Universe_.282008.29|Dodged another shot!]] ]]
:Confusingly, the figure had many color differences in different offical promotional images. The original 3D renders depicted his colors completely screen-accurate to the G1 cartoon (minus the quite rare toy-accurate yellow eyes) with fully blue artillery robot for the trailer, while the pre-release prototype seen in New York Comic Con 2019 and the secondary stock photos had his hands and elbows molded in grey, with artillery robot being casted in grey and silver plastic similar to the rest of the trailer. According to [[John Warden]], this was due to the limitations of the mold. Even later, Takara's stock photos showed the figure with blue elbows and a blue and silver artillery robot. The retail release of the figure ultimately for the most part went with colors showcased in Hasbro's physical toy stock photos, but with previously yellow eyes now more cartoon-accurate blue, and with his hands and also back of his head painted in metallic blue.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIu3DkO1Sj0</ref>

:Optimus Prime first saw release in Bangkok before its actual release date in March.

: ''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'' "GT-R Prime" is a heavy retool of ''Alternity'' [[#Alternity|Convoy]], transforming into a 1:32 replica of the Motul Autech GT-R race car used by the {{w|Nismo}} team in the {{w|Super GT}} racing championship series. He retains the flip-out blasters of the ''Alternity'' toy and can also wield his new Impact Wrench Gun accessory (also called the "Optimus Rifle" on the ''Transformers GT'' website), a weapon based on the impact wrenches used in car repairs. Like all ''GT'' toys, Prime also comes with a [[GT Sister]], poseable human figures themed after {{w|race queens}}, his partner being a lady named Misaki.

: GT-R Prime's packaging points out that he can be fitted into ''Masterpiece'' Optimus Prime's trailer to replicate the way actual race cars are transported.

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Battle Upgrade, 2014)
**''Pieces'': '''18'''
**''Accessories'': Missile-launching rifle, missile, energy axe, cannon, left & right rocket pods, "Ultra Magnus" right forearm & fist

: Part of the first wave of "Battle Upgrade" ''[[Hero Mashers]]'' toys, Optimus is a non-transforming action figure with ratchet-joints, about six inches tall. He has multiple peg-holes all over that can be used to mount any ''Hero Mashers'' accessory. As a first-wave figure, he has extra ankle articulation that is not present in later waves (a cut that was made to all ''Hero Mashers'' lines, not just the ''Transformers''-branded ones).

: He is designed with a removable head, forearms, thighs, and lower legs, all of which use the same clip-peg/hole joint. This means his pieces can be swapped around in any order, as well as swapped with any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure... which includes figures from [[Marvel Comics]], ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'', and ''[[Jurassic Park|Jurassic World]]'', meaning you can make some pretty freaky combinations.

: While he is the same size as a standard Hero Masher, his larger [[size class|price point]] is made up for with a lot more parts and gimmicks. Both of his hands are removable, which allows for accessories to be placed in his wrist sockets, notably his iconic "energy axe". His rifle is a spring-loaded missile launcher. He also comes with [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Hero Mashers|Ultra Magnus]]'s right arm, which is a [[redeco]] of ''Hero Mashers'' [[Bulkhead (Prime)#Hero Mashers|Bulkhead]]'s, only molded to remove that toy's missile-launching gimmick.

: Part of the first (and only) wave of larger electronic ''Hero Mashers Transformers'' toys, the base Optimus Prime figure in this set is ''almost'' identical to the above "Battle Upgrade" toy; this version has a closed right fist that can hold accessories rather than the Battle Upgrade version's finger-pointy one.

: However, this set comes with a completely different (and much larger) pile of accessories to turn Optimus (or any other ''Hero Mashers'' figure) into a hulking armored warrior. He comes with an extra left forearm with an electronic light, used to light up clear-plastic accessories when they're plugged into his wrist socket. Several of these accessories take inspiration from the [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action Optimus's]] gear, notably a very ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)| Age of Extinction]]''-esque shield.

: Oddly, the big stompy boots accessories are designed in a way that Optimus is really far back in them, leaving a huge gap between his shins and the boots' "knee" guards. Presumably this is to accommodate other ''Hero Mashers'' toys with much larger footprints.

In robot mode, Prime's energy unit transforms into a large blaster and his smokestacks transform into a smaller laser cannon.

**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster

: Released in Japan by [[Sentinel (company)|Sentinel]] as part of the 30th anniversary, Optimus Prime Pen is a well-articulated robot that folds into the shape of a rather chunky, but functional ballpoint pen. The tip of the pen is formed from his ion blaster, with the barrel acting as a cap.

: This mold was also used to make [[Nemesis Prime (G1)#Black Convoy Pen|Black Convoy Pen]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/toys#Ultra Magnus Pen|Ultra Magnus Pen]].

*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legion Class, 2014/2015/2017)
**<s>''Accessories'': Sword</s>
:Another release of the ''Reveal the Shield'' Legends Class sculpt. The deco for its initial release is unchanged from the ''Transformers'' release from 2012, whereas the tooling is identical to the 2012 release's running change variant, with the retooled hands and a hole on the back of his head/top compatible with [[Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]] [[C joint|3mm]] pegs. Bizarrely, the [[package art]] is lifted directly from the ''Generations'' Legends Class Optimus Prime/Autobot Roller two-pack's packaging, whereas the [[stock photography|stock photos]] depicted on the back of the packaging are taken from ''Reveal the Shield'' Optimus Prime's packaging and only slightly altered, advertising a "[[Reveal the Shield]]" [[rubsign]] [[gimmick]] the toy doesn't actually have. Meanwhile, Hasbro's official stock photos provided to online retailers (including an in-packaging photo) depict the toy with the sword that came with the running change variant of the sculpt's 2012 release, even though the actual toy doesn't include the sword.
[[File:Transformers-2014-legion-class-optimus-prime.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
:Legion Class Optimus Prime has been found at Family Dollar and Dollar General stores in the United States. A later [[variant]] repleaced the red Autobot insignia with a black version. This later version was also released at general retail in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Russia. In Singapore it was released together with [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]] as part of the promotion for ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction]]'' in selected cinemas.
:This figure was made available again, without any changes, in 2015, this time in new packaging resembling the then-concurrent packaging design for the ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' line, but replacing the name "Generations" with "Authentic Transformers". It was also given a new Hasbro product code number and UPC barcode, thereby technically making it a separate product. In 2017, it was re-released ''again'', this time in a minor variant of the 2014 version's packaging (including the original product code number and barcode) that now lacked the reference to the non-existing "Reveal the Shield" gimmick.

:Like [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Bumblebee]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Transformers (2014)|Starscream]], the Black Insignia variant of the toy ended up being dumped to some hobby shop dealers in Asia.

*'''Convoy''' ([[December 11]], 2014)

:Produced as a collaboration between toylines ''[[Diablock|Nanoblock]]'' and ''[[Choro-Q]]'', this Optimus Prime is a building block toy providing pieces to build both Optimus Prime's super deformed robot mode and, separately, his truck mode (or something else, if you want). His truck mode is built on a generic ''Choro-Q'' chassis outfitted with an electric motor and can be remote-controlled using a smartphone app. While the chassis is physically generic, its firmware identifies it as belonging to the Convoy kit, and the smartphone app's controls adopt a blue and red theme to match, complete with Autobot logo on the steering wheel hub.

The English name on the packaging refers to him as just "Optimus". He comes with a code for unlocking "GTR Optimus Prime" as a playable character in the ''[[Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns (mobile game)|Q-Transformers: Mystery of Convoy Returns]]'' game. Standing at only slightly less than one inch and a half, this is actually the smallest transforming Optimus Prime ever made, which is a fairly impressive feat considering the surprising amount of detail in sculpting and paint apps.

He transforms into an off-road vehicle and comes with numerous weapons, all of which peg via 5mm post onto his vehicle rear/legs, shoulders, upper & lower arms, and hands: a spring-loaded, missile-firing launcher, a pistol, a rifle, and two small cannons that respectively form the scope and stock of the rifle. All of his weapons can combine to form an unwieldy superweapon. The flaws from the original mold are likely to be retained from this release.

**''Accessories'': Weapons, 4 Gun/Fist/Foots

:Takara's iteration of ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Maximus is sold in a gift set including all five Autobots (minus the Rodimus mold). This version of Convoy has numerous changes in deco to better match his look in the Generation 1 cartoon. Like ''Unite Warriors'' [[Menasor (G1)#Unite Warriors|Menasor]], the set also features some minor improvements to the original sculpts, such as improved hip-ratchets for Convoy for increased stability. He also had the slightly modified pegs that Legends Class Rodimus (or Blackjack, Runabout, and Runamuck) can securely attach to, which was previously used for Battle Core Optimus Prime. The tampographed Autobot insignia on the roof/flip out head joint are now re-positioned to his side truck panels.

:Compared to the [[#Combiner Wars|''Combiner Wars'' release]] of the mold, Convoy features additional paint operations on the thighs, truck bumpers, the details on the inner legs, the gestalt chest halves (which are now painted over due to being molded in grey plastic), and the gestalt torso's lower section. The stomach's deco is also minimized, and the silver paint operations on the lower legs are now replaced with gunmetal while the mute metallic blue is now shiny metallic. When it comes to unpaintable plastic; his knee joints and feet are blue while the majority of the shoulder joints are now red. In addition, his gestalt skirt flap is now molded in the same grey color, and the the leg panels and thighs are now molded in black, with the latter being painted in silver with some yellow details. As the thighs are painted, care must be taken while transforming him in both modes, as they're somewhat prone to paint scraping. To minimize the damage, the two rear halves must be opened first to transform the legs.

He changes from an [[evergreen]]-inspired robot into a more G1-based truck in just four steps. His instructions are incorrect; for truck mode, his legs must be folded in before the arms, otherwise the locking tabs on the arms will get in the way. Due to his transformation, he ends up with no elbows and a fake chest. He also has problems standing up due to hollow legs.

:''[[Transformers Collaborative|Collaborative]]'' Ghostbusters x Transformers ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' MP-10G Optimus Prime Ecto-35 Edition (whew!) is a [[Ghostbusters]]-themed redeco of the MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold.

:Optimus Prime is now decoed in white, dark gray and red, with a Ghostbusters "no ghosts" logo on his right shoulder in addition to the Autobot logo on his left. The trailer is decoed similarly, with Ecto-1 style details adorning the sides, as well as green ghost splatter. Optimus's vehicle mode bumper includes an "ECTO-35" plate, which can be seen through his chest in robot mode, referencing the 35th Anniversary of both the ''Transformers'' and ''Ghostbusters'' franchises.

:He includes all his accessories, aside from [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and his axe, gaining a number of additional ones consistent with the theme. The trailer opens out into the "Ecto-Base," or can be stood upright as the "Ecto Maintenance Dock." A snap-on cover can be applied to Roller to turn him into a ghost trap, a painted opaque version of the [[Slimer]] figure included with Ectotron, and a "roof-rack accessory" using the same mold as [[Ectotron|Ectotron's]] that pegs into the roof of the trailer. This final item converts into a proton pack for robot mode, pegging into the hole in his back, and a hose connects his ion blaster to the proton pack to serve as a particle thrower. In addition, the figure's packaging is shaped like a proton pack, complete with clips to enable the buyer to strap it to their back.

:Ectotron can ''sort of'' fit into Prime's trailer, but this requires the former's equipment rack to be removed from the roof, and clearance within the trailer prevents the trailer's rear tailgate from closing.

:Ecto-35 Edition Optimus Prime was released as an exclusive at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] in 2019, with additional availability at Fan Expo Canada and the [[Hasbro Pulse]] online store.

==Notes==
===Before he became Optimus Prime===
[[File:PrototypeTHB.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Not so Optimus Prime.]]

*The first prototype for Battle Convoy, the ''[[Diaclone]]'' originator of Optimus Prime, was vastly different from the final version, complete with an entirely different transformation and a car carrying trailer. The head lacked the faceplate.

*A later prototype/mock-up was much closer to the final product but still has some noticeable differences, such as a head with much larger antennae, longer smokestacks and a front grille section that includes the rectangular section that would sport the "Freightliner" logo on the real-life truck (on the final toy, the rectangular section is part of the hinged upper section that includes the windows). It would have also been possible to attach the [[ion blaster]] to either of his shoulders.<ref name="diaclonecatalogs">[http://1501bc.com/pretf/diaclone_catalogs.html Diaclone catalog scans] at 1501bc.com.</ref>

*The toy that would ultimately end up as the original Optimus Prime toy was originally released in August [[1983]] as No.17 Battle Convoy from Takara's Diaclone Car Robo toyline in Japan. In [[1984]], [[Joustra]] released their own version (still with ''Diaclone'' sticker on the trailer) as part of their Diaclone line in Europe, either simply called ''Truck'' (according to the pack-in catalog) or ''Diaclone'' (in the pack-in comic). It's possible that [[GiG]] also released a version called ''Camion Convoy'' as part of their ''[[Trasformer]]'' line in Italy, but to this day no packaged sample has surfaced.

===The many releases of Optimus Prime===
[[File:SeveralG1Convoy.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Too much Prime on my hands.]]
Over the years, the [[#G1v1|original Optimus Prime]] has been repackaged and reissued multiple times:

*In the USA and Canada, limited edition promotional versions were available sporting Pepsi stickers; the Canadian version has large Pepsi stickers that cover the entire trailer, while the US version only has small Pepsi stickers that partially obscure the lines running across the trailer;
*In addition to the standard Japanese 01 Convoy release, Takara also released the toy as part of the [[#VSX|VSX Convoy vs. Megatron]] two-pack in [[1985]];
*Takara released a variant sporting clear blue windows and as part of the "[[#goodbye|Good Bye Convoy]]" set (packaged with [[Red Alert (G1)#Toys|Alert/Red Alert]] and [[Mirage (G1)#Toys|Ligier/Mirage]]) in [[1986]];
*Hasbro's subsidiary [[Milton Bradley]] (MB) released the toy in Europe in late 1985, following a slight delay due to licensing issues;<ref name="mbtfs">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/mb-transformers-part-5/ "The Jetfire vs Optimus Prime mixup"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref> there are no less than ''three'' variants of MB-packaged Optimus Prime, one of them manufactured by Takara and sporting blue feet, the other two manufactured by [[Joustra]] as part of a deal with Hasbro/MB, one of them with blue and the other one with red feet;<ref name="3mb">[http://20thcenturytoycollector.com/the-three-mb-optimus-primes/ "The Three MB Optimus Primes"] at 20th Century Toy Collector</ref>
*After Hasbro's European division had changed the packaging from "MB" to "Hasbro", the toy continued to be available in 1986, including more of the Joustra-manufactured red and blue feeted versions, which were apparently also available in the UK in English-only packaging;<ref name="3mb"/>
*[[GiG]] released the toy as ''Commander'' as part of their ''Transformers'' line in Italy in 1985, including an all-plastic variant in 1986;
*[[IGA]] released their version in Mexico in 1985; unsold stock was later imported to a plethora of European countries, including the UK, with Optimus Prime having the yellow paint scraped off his eyes and then having them painted over in red;
*Hasbro reissued the "Original Autobot Leader" toy as part of their European ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line of reissues in [[1991]];
*Hasbro released a [[#Generation_2|redecoed version with additional accessories]] as part of their [[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|''Generation 2'' line]] in [[1993]];
*Takara reissued the original toy in its original 1985 Japanese packaging in [[2000]], with an all-black recolor being available from assorted Japanese conventions and another variant with gold instead of silver parts, stickers, and paint as a [[Lucky Draw figure|lucky draw]] prize;
*Takara reissued the toy again as ''New Year Special'' version in January 2002, sporting clear blue windows (similar to Good Bye Convoy) and featuring additional accessories such as a Matrix necklace and a [[Show-accuracy|show accurate]] recolor of the Action Master Optimus Prime figure;
*Hasbro reissued the toy in the USA and the UK as part of their ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line of reissues in [[2002]], sporting shortened down smokestacks [[for safety reasons]];
*Takara reissued the toy once again in [[2003]], as part of their ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' line of reissues, numbered 00 and featuring additional accessories such as an energon axe;
*Takara released a recolored version featuring a new trailer in December [[2005]], called ''[[Pepsi Convoy]]''.
*Hasbro released their own version of Pepsi Convoy, named "[[#PepsiPrime|Pepsi Optimus Prime]]", as a [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] exclusive in [[2007]], featuring the familiar [[For safety reasons|safety]]-shortened smokestacks of the Commemorative Series reissue.
*In August 2007 TakaraTomy yet again did a rerelease similar to the 2000 Convoy rerelease, this time as part of the "[[Transformers Encore]]" line. This version has a new rifle with a longer handle so Optimus can finally hold it straight.
*TakaraTomy released [http://seibertron.com/advertisement.php?id=8 "Convoy iPod Docking Bay with Speakers"] in September 2007. It is an iPod speaker/dock in the shape of a truck, featuring an all-white version of Convoy with a new head sculpt reminiscent of Masterpiece Convoy as the cab, and a trailer housing a pair of speakers and a docking point for an iPod.
*In March [[2008]], TakaraTomy released a G1-colored version of the iPod Convoy set.
*Hasbro released the ''25th Anniversary'' gift set edition detailed above in 2008, as part of the 2008 ''Universe'' line, once again with [[For safety reasons|shortened smokestacks]].
*TakaraTomy released another reissue based on the ''Encore'' version as part of their ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' line in 2011, lacking the original Generation 1 trailer. Instead, the ''Chronicle'' version was available in a two-pack with ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Deluxe Class [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Chronicle|Optimus Prime]] and a new trailer that could be used by both Optimuses, thanks to a retooled trailer hitch on the Generation 1 Optimus Prime figure.
*In 2012, Hasbro reissued Optimus Prime again for their Asian markets, this time mixing the 25th Anniversary version of the toy itself with the older ''Commemorative Series'' packaging.<ref name="25thcomm">[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=44388 "Bad news RE: new Commemorative Prime"] at Cybertron.ca.</ref>
*In 2019, Optimus was rereleased once again, this time without his trailer and with his original long smokestacks (something he hasn't had in America since Generation 2), in Hasbro's Vintage G1 line of reissues exclusive to Walmart stores in US and Canada.

===Powermaster Optimus Prime design history===

[[Powermaster]] Optimus Prime, being the grand toy rebirth of Optimus Prime post-movie, apparently received a lot of thought during the design process. Prime went through an inordinate number of design changes from concept to final with at least three very major revisions:

[[File:EarlyPMPrime1.jpg|upright=1.2|thumb|Overcompensating.]]

*The earliest version, as shown in the first patent application for the toy, was to have the Prime cab be a triplechanger, turning from truck cab to jet or robot.<ref>[http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&II=0&ND=3&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19880604&CC=JP&NR=S63132686A&KC=A Patent #JP63-132686]</ref> The nosecone of the jet and robot legs were released by the Powermaster lock in the same fashion as the legs in the final version. Optimus would have had winged arms in non-super [[robot mode]]. The super robot mode's head was also integrated into the trailer's hitch... and lacked a faceplate.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime2.jpg|thumb|upright=0.55|Blockhead.]]
*The second known version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations]]'', p22, p106</ref> ditched the triplechanging gimmick on the cab and simplified things a good bit. This Powermaster Prime has several distinct characteristics only seen in the second design, such as the wider "block head" and two faux smokestacks on top of either shoulder as opposed to one. Also, in a rather odd twist, this design features a black head and fists for both super and regular modes rather than the traditional blue. It also had yellow eyes in either mode a la the original Optimus Prime.
[[File:EarlyPMPrime3.jpg|thumb|upright=0.55|''Triple-Power-Headmaster Optimus Prime'' was just too damn long to put on the box.]]
*The third version <ref>''[[Transformers Generations]]'', p106</ref> would quite possibly have been the most gimmick loaded Transformer in the history of the line, simultaneously being a Powermaster, [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], and [[Triple Changer]]. The Headmaster also would have been a Triple Changer, turning into a sort of armored four-wheeled rover (Roller II?) and robot as well as a rather silly looking Optimus Prime head with four vertically aligned wheels jutting off the sides. It seems that when the extra Headmaster gimmick was scrapped, the super mode head remained separate rather than being reintegrated into the trailer hitch such as on the earliest design. Notably, the body of this design is extremely close to the final design.
*A fourth version is shown in the 1987-88 Transformers product catalog that has several minor differences from both Powermaster Prime and [[Ginrai (human)|God Ginrai]], such as having God Ginrai's sliding fists but in red, a completely different trailer hitch assembly partially based on the third design, an offset Autobot symbol in base mode, extended feet also based on third design, far more detailed super mode outer leg panels, completely different front bumper, and the first instance of single faux shoulder smokestacks rather than two. It is still unknown as to why Powermaster Prime has completely different arms from God Ginrai or all earlier concept versions.

Powermaster Prime's animation model as used in the commercials and as a character guide for the Marvel comics is a composite of the second and third designs. The body of the model is actually a straight tracing of the concept lineart for the third version (including its different rifles and twin faux shoulder stacks), with a slightly simplified drawing of the second version's head drawn on top.

===Miscellaneous Primes===
[[File:Early Star Convoy Planning Stage.jpg‎|thumb|upright=1.1|I am the prototype of the toy of the future!]]
*''Return of Convoy'' catalogues reveal the planning process behind Star Convoy's evolution from gimmick-rich illustration to prototype before reaching final production.
[[File:PMHeroTrace.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Stealing purses across the ages.]]
*The pose used for ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[#HeroOptimusPrime|Hero Optimus Prime]]'s [[package art]] is rather blatantly swiped from [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Powermaster]] [[#PMOP|Optimus Prime's]] package art.
*On a similar note, ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Optimus Prime]]'s package art is merely edited from ''Generation 2'' [[#LaserOptimusPrime|Laser Optimus Prime]]'s card art, keeping it mostly intact save for the removal of shoulder kibble and the addition of a non-windowed chestplate.
[[File:Optimus prime nokia 6820.JPG|left|thumb|125px|Wait...I'm sure this is from Finland. But why did [[Seymour Simmons|Simmons]] say...]]
*The Masterpiece Optimus Prime toy was featured in a print ad for [[Nokia]] {{w|Nokia 68xx series#Nokia 6820|6820}} phones in December 2004.<ref name="nokia">[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/20th-anniversary-optimus-prime-featured-in-nokia-a/4374/ "20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Featured in Nokia Ad"]</ref> He is posed bent over to look at the phone and scratching his head. Pleasantly, ''most'' of the pose pictured is perfectly possible with an un-[[Customizing|kitbash]]ed, un-Photoshopped version of the toy. (The real toy can't bend forward at the waist like that, alas.)
*''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[#Classics (2006)|Optimus Prime]] was initially intended to be Deluxe-sized. An alleged list of the tentative ''Classics'' line-up<ref name="classicslineup">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/possible-transformers-classic-line-up-4336/ Rumor] about the ''Classics'' lineup that turned out to be spot on aside from Voyager [[Soundwave (G1)/toys|Soundwave]] and Deluxe Optimus Prime.</ref> included a Deluxe-sized Optimus Prime without a trailer and a version ''with'' a trailer at the Voyager [[size class|price point]]; however, it appears the decision was eventually made to upscale Optimus to Voyager size instead.<ref name="sage">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/cybertron-crosswise-redeco-and-transformers-classics-info-4683/ "Cybertron Crosswise Redeco and Transformers Classics Info"] (via [[Joe Kyde]]'s proxy "SAGE2764")</ref> Don Figueroa's [[control drawing]]s for the Deluxe version were leaked before the ''Classics'' line was even released at retail.<ref name="primecontrol">Leaked ''Classics'' Deluxe Optimus Prime control drawings: [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-design-sketch-4691/ Vehicle mode], [http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/classics-11/transformers-classics-optimus-prime-robot-mode-design-sketches-4692/ robot mode]</ref> A gray model [[prototype]] was later shown as part of an interview with [[TakaraTomy]]'s staff in ''[[Transformers Generations 2009#Volume 1|Transformers Generations 2009 vol. 1]]''.<ref name="ttinterview">[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/general-articles-25/translated-version-of-the-takara-tomy-transformers-henkei--classics-staff-interview-167073/ Translated TakaraTomy Henkei/Classics staff interview]</ref> It's unclear whether the trailer ever made it past the early planning stage before the size of the figure was changed.

[[File:G1 packagingart Jazz.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Don't be racist. Be like the panda. They're black, white, and Asian.]]
'''[[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]]''' has appeared as many toys. All of them cool.

==Toys==
===The Transformers===
[[File:G1 Jazz toy.jpg|300px|thumb|right|At least he doesn't like music as much as [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster.]]]]
* '''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, 1984/1985)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''06'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Photon rifle]], missile launcher, 3 missiles

:Originally a pre-''Transformers'' ''Diaclone'' Porsche 935 Turbo, Jazz was part of the original assortment of Autobots released in 1984. He transforms into a Martini Racing Porsche 935/76, specifically the Martini-sponsored 935 which won the first circuit of the {{w|1976 World Championship for Makes season|1976 World Championship for Makes}}, the Mugello Circuit. Like other Autobots who sported similar "sponsor" decals, however, Jazz's stickers deliberately misspell his sponsor as "Martinii". In [[robot mode]], he is armed with a silver [[photon rifle]] and a shoulder-mounted, spring-loaded rocket launcher that can fire three silver missiles.

:Like all his 1984 brethren, Jazz gained a heat-activated [[rubsign]] in 1985, added to the right-hand side of his hood. That same year, Jazz was also made available as a mail-away [[exclusive]] from [[Cookie Crisp]] cereal; this edition of the figure featured modified [[sticker]]s on its car doors that omitted the "Martinii" words, and entirely lacked the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and rear spoiler.

:The packaging for the [[Milton Bradley]] release of Jazz in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain sported an additional "Porsche" remark after his name. The significance of this is still unknown at this point.

:Jazz was later reissued by [[Hasbro]] as part of the European and Australian ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' sub-line in 1990 and the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series]]'' line in 2003, and by [[TakaraTomy|Takara/TakaraTomy]] as part of the ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' (2002) and ''[[Transformers Encore]]'' (2008) lines. See entries below for more details.

:In an undocumented feature, unpegging the hands from the shoulders in vehicle mode gives the figure working steering.

:This mold was also used to make (the originally Japanese-exclusive) [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper]], later renamed Ricochet for Hasbro's reissue.

{{-}}{{anchor|Pretender}}
[[File:Pretender Jazz toy.jpg|300px|right|thumb|In a just world, Jazz's Pretender shell would look like Richard Roundtree.]]
* '''Jazz''' ([[Classic Pretender]], 1989)
**''Accessories:'' 2-piece [[Pretender]] shell, helmet, rifle, laser

: The first new toy since the original, Classic Pretender Jazz is a highly simplified version of his original toy, still transforming into a Porsche 935 Turbo. He is armed with a black gun (named only a "laser" in his instructions, but given the dramatic identifier of a "semi-automatic ion pulse gun" in his [[Tech Spec]]s), which can mount on his roof in vehicle mode.

:Jazz's two-piece Pretender shell resembles a human in a blue and white armored space suit with a removable helmet. The shell is armed with a large black rifle (a "photon rifle", to be precise, according to his Tech Specs), and when Jazz is stored inside, it can also hold the smaller robot's laser, thanks to the weapon's multi-width peg.

:And yes, there's certainly something odd about a white-skinned Jazz. Cultural appropriation or just a designer who didn't know his source material? [[You]] decide.
::*''[http://www.tfu.info/1989/Autobot/Jazz/jazz.htm More information on Classic Pretender Jazz at TFU.info]''

{{-}}{{anchor|G1Legend}}
* '''Jazz''' (Legend, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Laser

:Available [[exclusive]]ly at American [[Kmart]] stores, the [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] version of Jazz is simply the inner robot of the Classic Pretender toy without the shell or its accessories, leaving him only a small handgun.... however, it happens to be ''[[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Bumblebee's]]'' gun. (Legends Bumblebee has Pretender Jazz's gun.)

{{-}}{{anchor|HeroSet}}
[[File:G1toy japanese legends giftset.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' Laser

: In Japan, Legends Jazz was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Hero Set|Bumblebee]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#HeroSet|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Heroset|Starscream]]. Jazz was however not identical to the Hasbro release as the factory applied sticker on the car hood is applied upside down.

: In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Here, Jazz was named "Folgore", originally the Italian name of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

[[File:Actionmaster Jazz.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Now he can shred the streets on his board.]]
* '''Jazz w/ Turbo Board''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Italian Name:'' '''Bionic'''
**''Accessories:'' "Electromagnetizer Gun", Turbo Board

: [[Action Master]] Jazz's sculpt was based upon his cartoon model, but with some of the toy details added in. As with most Action Master figures, he cannot transform, but his [[Turbo Board]] partner can transform from a skateboard into a large blaster weapon. Jazz was part of the first wave of individual Action Master figures.

: There are reportedly several minor variations of this figure, all regarding the color of his headlights. Some have them unpainted, while others are light blue or greenish-blue.

:Jazz was reissued in Europe and Australia in 1990 as part of the ''[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]'' line. This version was identical to the original toy, with the exception of the missing "Martinii" logos on the door decals, like on the Cookie Crisp version. Unlike the Cookie Crisp version, however, this version did include the "Martinii Porsche" decals for the windshield and the rear spoiler.

===Generation 2===
[[File:G2 Jazz.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Jazz''' (Autobot Car, 1993)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Rifle", missile launcher, 2 missiles

:''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' Jazz is a slight [[retool]] and (literal) [[repaint]] of the original toy. The chrome feet have been narrowed, omitting two tabs. His face (apparently degraded from [[mold]] usage) now has a strange unintentional smirk. His roof has been retooled with a small hole to accommodate his new bright green, spring-loaded missile launcher. All of his "Martinii" stickers have been replaced with various new stickers depicting his name and the number "1" laid over a rainbow-colored musical note.

:This mold became the basis for future reissues of Jazz, minus the roof hole retooling but retaining his smirk.

: The missile launcher was not created for the ''Generation 2'' line, but came from the [http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/snowserpent2.shtml Snow Serpent] from the ''[[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'' toyline. The same launcher was used in the ''Generation 2'' re-releases of [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]] and [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]].

They [[Rock Bot (G1)|didn't actually make those]].]]
*'''Jazz''' (Laser Cycle, 1995)

: A [[redeco]] of the [[Laser Cycle]] [[Road Rocket (G2)|Road Rocket]] was planned as Jazz, but like many other planned late-1995 ''Generation 2'' redecos, ultimately never saw release. Interestingly, many of these — including Jazz and fellow Laser Cycle redeco [[Soundwave (G1)/toys#LaserCycle|Soundwave]] — ''were'' solicited in various store catalogues, such as the Sears Wish Book. Some packaged samples of this toy do exist, but there are estimated to be less than a dozen in existence. Jazz would have transformed from a white, yellow, and green Yamaha GTS1000 motorcycle, with an LED-lit arm-mounted buzzsaw that formed part of his rear wheel assembly in cycle mode.

: This mold was later [[retool]]ed to make ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] and ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' Road Rocket.

===The Transformers Collection===
[[File:G1toy tfc jazz.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67]]
* '''Meister''' (Transformers Collection, [[2002]]-[[July 20|07-20]])
**''ID number:'' '''1'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Jazz was the first entry in Takara's ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' series of reissues, featuring collectible "book-box" packaging. The figure uses the retooled version of the Jazz mold used in ''Generation 2'', with narrower feet, though the peg-hole in his roof has been removed. Continued degradation of the mold in the intervening years led to further problems with the toy: in addition to the overall looseness of its joints, the toy's face is further deteriorated from the ''Generation 2'' use of the mold, now displaying a gape-mouthed smirk (see inset in picture), and its roof and rear windows no longer align perfectly.

: In addition to these unfortunate, unintentional changes from the original, some intentional changes were made to the figure's stickers. The original toy's "Martinii" sponsor decals on his hood and door are modified to instead display his Japanese name, "Meister", while the "Martinii Porsche" decal across the top of his windshield now reads "Agent Meister".

: A second production run of this figure replaced the original toolings for the weapons with the modified versions that came with Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' reissue (see [[#Commemorative Series|below]]).

{{-}}{{anchor|Gold}}

===Collector's Edition===
[[File:Ehobby Meister.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Bling bling~!!!]]
* '''Meister Gold Version''' (e-Hobby exclusive, 2002)
**''Accessories:'' "Photon Rifle", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: A ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' [[e-HOBBY]] [[exclusive]], this version of Jazz is almost entirely constructed of vacuum-metalized gold plastic. Fingerprints and chipping, ahoy! It uses the degraded mold of the ''Transformers Collection'' figure, and was only available in a set with the "Anime Version" redeco of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys|Bluestreak]]. Both figures came in the generic red Autobot packaging shared by nearly all eHobby figures.

: Though this redeco resembles Jazz's [[electrum]]-covered appearance in the episode "[[The Golden Lagoon (episode)|The Golden Lagoon]]", this appears to be an unintentional coincidence; it is actually a recreation of an old ''[[Diaclone]]'' campaign prize.

===Commemorative Series===
* '''Autobot Jazz''' (Commemorative Series III, 2003)
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Hasbro's own reissue of the 1984 Jazz as part of the ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Generation One Commemorative Series]]'', now named "Autobot Jazz" for [[trademark]] reasons, is based on Takara's ''Transformers Collection'' version, retaining the ugly smirk and the "Agent Meister" stickers. The alignment problem with the roof and the rear windows has been fixed.

: The weapons have been heavily [[retool]]ed [[for safety reasons]]: The chrome finish is missing, the missiles have been elongated and can only be inserted one way, the nub on the back of the launcher has also been elongated, the launcher barrel can come off the mount, and the trigger has been altered as well.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Spy Changer, 2004-2005)
**''Accessories:'' Rifle

:[[Spy Changer]] Jazz is a redeco of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Side Burn (RID)#Spychanger|Spy Changer Side Burn]]. He transforms into a 1:64-scale [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Dodge Viper]] with Jazz's classic white Martini Racing colour scheme and livery, via [[sticker]]s. Like all [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] molds, he features high-speed axles and can roll very well across smooth surfaces, but lacks the weight to propel him quickly. His rifle is stored between his legs, acting as a tailpipe in vehicle mode.

:This toy was originally exclusively available at [[KB Toys]] stores in 2004, in generic ''Transformers'' packaging with no additional sub-line header. The same toy was later re-released in ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' packaging in 2005, now available from discount chains such as Dollar General and Family Dollar. Jazz was one of three figures released again as part of a second wave of the ''Universe''-branded line-up, with several alterations to the packaging such as a different [[cross-sell]] on the back, a different "Hasbro" logo, and even a different ''function'' (wave 1 Jazz is a "special operations expert", whereas wave 2 Jazz is a "special ops agent").

*'''Meister''' Mazda RX-8 (Alternator, 2004/2006)
**''Alternators ID number:'' '''7'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-08'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

:For the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line, "Meister" (the Hasbro release uses the Japanese-market name as well for a change) was given a new [[alternate mode]], namely a highly accurate, [[licensed vehicle alternate modes|licensed]] 1:24 [[scale]] white [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|Mazda RX-8]]. He features an opening hood with engine, opening "suicide" doors and an opening trunk, as well as a detailed interior with seats and a dashboard complete with steering wheel. His front wheels feature a working "steering" mechanism (which is not connected to the steering wheel, though), and all four wheels are equipped with [[rubber tires]]. In robot mode, Meister is sculpted to resemble both the original Generation 1 Jazz toy and the G1 [[character model|cartoon model]]. He is armed with a rifle that transforms from his muffler; the peg used to attach the muffler in vehicle mode actually plugs into the holes on his forearms near the elbow joints, allowing the blaster to be attached there.

: Takara's ''Binaltech'' version of this sculpt differs from Hasbro's ''Alternators'' version by having his car shell partially constructed of [[die-cast]] metal, as well as having all the car body parts (including those made out of plastic) covered in paint and the side mirrors [[vacuum metallizing|vacuum metalized]], while the steering wheel is made of hard plastic. By contrast, the ''Alternators'' version has the car shell made entirely out of plastic (in standard white compared to the ''Binaltech'' version's slightly more creamy shade), the side mirrors are unpainted, and the steering wheel is made of a rubber-y plastic. Furthermore, there are some tooling differences as well: Like [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Streak/Silverstreak]] before, the ''Binaltech'' version's steering wheel is placed on the right side of the dashboard (like on a Japanese car), whereas it's located on the left side on the ''Alternators'' version (like on an American car). In addition, the ''Binaltech'' version's "steering" mechanism uses a magnet assembly to connect the steering axle to the front wheels (which are attached to the robot mode shoulders), whereas the ''Alternators'' version uses a plastic insertion point. The ''Binaltech'' version also comes with a large Autobot [[insignia]] sticker that can be applied to a real car.

: This toy was redecoed into the simultaneously available "Velocity Red Mica Edition" (see below), and later retooled into a Mazdaspeed RX-8 as [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Shockblast/Laserwave]], the [[Autorooper]], and later as Argent Meister (see below).

: Simultaneous with his standard release, ''Binaltech'' Meister was also available in a red variant in its own unique packaging. The two figures shipped in cases together in an equal ratio. All of the regular version's white parts, both plastic and metal, are replaced with red, while the panels on the upper hips that are painted teal on the "white" version are painted silver. This version also includes the Autobot car sticker.

*'''Argent Meister''' (Binaltech, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''BT-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Muffler-blaster

: One of the first releases of the short-lived (and final) revival of the ''Binaltech'' line, this version of Meister utilizes the "Mazdaspeed Version II" retooled RX-8 body introduced with [[Shockwave (G1)/toys#Alternators/Binaltech|Shockblast/Laserwave]], but using the original Meister head and left hand, rather than Shockblast's arm cannon. It is touted as a "Movie Version", somewhat resembling the look of the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], due to its silver paint job. The name is a pun on his Japanese function, "Agent Meister", and the Latin-derived word "argent" for "silver".

:Argent Meister was only released in Japan, with no direct ''Alternators'' counterpart.

===Encore===
* '''Meister''' (Encore, Japan 2008)
**''ID number:'' '''08'''
**''Accessories:'' "[[Photon rifle]]", missile launcher, 3 missiles

: Another Takara reissue of the original 1984/1985 Jazz/Meister toy, following the success of the [[Transformers (film)|2007 Movie]].

: For the most part, the tooling is identical to the second production run of the 2002 ''Transformers Collection'' release, with the modified weapon from Hasbro's ''Commemorative Series'' release. The face uses the fixed mouth originally made for the ''Transformers Collection''/''Commemorative Series'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)|Stepper/Ricochet]] reissue from 2004. The feet are still the narrowed ''Generation 2'' version.

: Other changes unique to this version include the replacement of many stickers (such as the Autobot [[insignia]] on the hood/chest and the "Meister" decals on the doors) with tampographed versions, retooled shoulder mounted flame thrower aligned 90 degree from the axis but unlike the previous iterations, is quite difficult to maintain mounted, and a [[show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] painted blue visor.

:Legends Class ''Universe'' Jazz, like the Legends Class ''Universe'' [[Hound (G1)/toys|Hound]], emulates Jazz's original toy rather than a modern vehicle re-imagination. Due to the budgetry limitation of Legends Class toys, he features an altered transformation sequence and a limited number of [[paint operation]]s, which leave several car windows unpainted.

*'''Special Ops Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2010/2011)
**''Accessories:'' "Blaster," two speakers

: Part of the fifth wave of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] Deluxe class toys, Special Ops Jazz transforms from robot into a "street rally" white sports car that looks like Jazz's original Porsche front-end wearing [[Jazz (Movie)|Pontiac Solstice]] headlights for a hat. Jazz has deployable speakers in both robot and vehicle mode,<ref>http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/botcon-2010-hasbro-designers-panel-170066/</ref> and his rifle is an update of his [[Classic Pretender]] weapon. The speakers can also combine with his rifle via clips to form a super rifle, or they can be used on any other clip-compatible ''Transformers'' toy. A theme noticed in a few of the updated G1 Transformers is the backwards compatibility with the original character's weapons. Jazz is able to wield his G1 toy's shoulder rocket launcher on his neck though sadly both his original toy's photon rifle and his Pretender figure's weapon are incompatible with the toy. As part of the first wave of the "[[Reveal the Shield]]" promotion, he sports a [[rubsign]].

: This mold was later redecoed into ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' [[Ricochet (Headmasters)#United 2|Stepper]], ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (toyline)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Longarm (SG)|Longarm]] and [[Stepper (SG)|Stepper]], and the mold's alternate head was used to make [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]]. It was also retooled to make ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Kick-Off (G1)#Timelines|Kick-Over]], and was ''intended'' to be retooled into ''Generations'' [[Nightbeat (G1)#Generations|Nightbeat]], who ended up as a retool of an [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#Deluxe|entirely different sculpt]] instead.

:Part of the second wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toys, this redeco of Special Ops Jazz is cast in brighter non-metallic glossy white plastic, uses darker blue and red paints, and has a painted grill, feet, shins, stomach, rear windows, taillights, and wheel rims. He also has an Autobot logo on the hood and no rubsign. Unlike the earlier variants of Special Ops Jazz, ''United'' Jazz's forearms are molded in white plastic. The toy's packaging names his combined speaker-gun a "[[sonic cannon]] mode".

===Kre-O===
[[File:KreO toy Jazz.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Mama says "[[Spock]] you Out".]]
* '''Autobot Jazz''' (2011)
**''Set number'': '''31146'''
**''Pieces'': '''122'''
**''Kreons'': Jazz, Race Driver
**''Accessories'': Pistol

: The ''[[Kre-O]]'' Jazz set is based primarily on Generation 1 Jazz in deco, with a head sculpt heavily based on ''Reveal the Shield'' [[#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]]'s head, but with [[Live-action film series|Movie]] [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]'s silver coloration. He transforms into a generic sports car that doesn't really look like either of Jazz's alternate modes, with opening doors and a flip-up roof. Sadly, neither of these features is actually useful for inserting a driver (the gap left by opening the roof is too small, and the sides are blocked by unfortunately-placed horizontal bars), but at least the thought was there.

: The included Jazz Kreon is based directly on his ''Generation 1'' self, with his characteristic coloration and deco, and "door wings." He also comes with a generic light gray gun used by some of the other Kreons that can resemble Jazz's [[photon rifle]] if you squint hard enough. The "Race Driver" Kreon wears a red and light gray racing suit and helmet, and also has a light gray baseball cap so he doesn't have to wear his helmet all the time. How thoughtful!

: This set shows signs of having been slightly redesigned late in production. Included among the pieces is a red seat which is not used in either mode; there is an obvious place where it "belongs" in the middle of the car's cabin, but it cannot actually fit there due to other parts interfering. (Interestingly enough, a certain other company's equivalent piece ''will'' fit, thanks to its slightly different design.) Similarly, there is a black sticker with "vent" detailing which the builder is never instructed to apply anywhere, though according to stock photography, it is intended for Jazz's abdomen/pelvis section. Later releases of the set didn't include the seat, but still retained the unused sticker.

{{note|This toy was [[repurposing|repurposed]] as Generation 1 Jazz in [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''[[The Transformers: Robots in Disguise|Robots in Disguise]]'' comics and as ''[[Transformers Cloud|Cloud]]'' Jazz.}}

: Part of the first wave of [[2012]] ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' "[[Jazz (WFC)|Autobot Jazz]]" transforms into a Cybertronian racer. His blaster pistol has a [[C joint|3mm hole]] running through it, and can mount via [[5mm post]] onto his roof, forearms/rear vehicle side, and hands.

:In robot mode, he features a case of [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux parts]]: The centers of his feet are fake wheels (attached to the legs via [[Ratchet (mechanism)|ratchet joints]]) that are hidden in the rear section of his vehicle mode, while his real vehicle mode wheels end up on his forearms and on the sides of his chest (partially obscured by panels).

:A [[Variant#Colors and deco|running change variant]] of Jazz exists in the fourth wave, wherein his white plastic is darker and his translucent visor is cast in light blue instead of the previous extremely dark blue, allowing the light piping to work properly. The [[TakaraTomy]] release features an extensive paint job, with his white plastic being coated in grayish off-white paint, along with numerous additional details.

:This toy was redecoed/retooled into ''Fall of Cybertron'' [[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]].

====Power of the Primes====
[[File:PowerOfThePrimestoy-Jazz.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Still a Martini, still a Porsche, all the more chill.]]
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe Class, [[2017]])
**''Japanese ID number'': '''PP-07'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''[[May 25]], [[2018]]'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Prime Armor/combiner hand, Prime Master gap filler/gun
:Transforming into a Le Mans-like racing car [[Porsche#Porsche 962|subtly inspired by a Porsche 962]], the ''[[Power of the Primes (toyline)|Power of the Primes]]'' version of Jazz is a mostly new mold that reuses the wheels and combiner peg of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Drag Strip (G1)#Generations|Dragstrip]]. Jazz can form a limb for any ''Combiner Wars''-style combiner (or become one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs). Fans wanting to open this figure should take note that almost all of the roof, hood, and front grill of the figure is simply clear plastic painted over, so be careful to avoid scratching or chipping these areas. Worse still, some fans have reported that this translucent plastic does not age well, and has a nasty tendency to crack after a few transformations. ''Be careful.''

:Like all other ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures, he comes with Prime Armor with a place for a [[Prime Master]] (and by extension, a [[Titan Master]], [[Enigma of Combination]], or [[Matrix of Leadership/toys#Power of the Primes|Matrix core]]) that can transform into a hand for a combiner. He also comes with a piece that can fill the gap in the Prime Armor or be held as a gun. Also like the other Deluxe Class figures, the instructions explaining how exactly the armor connects are extremely vague. To connect the armor, the grill portion of Jazz's chest has two indents that fit the tabs on the "thumbs" when inserted at a slight angle. While this matches up to both the instructions and the packaging art, it should be noted that the connection is rather loose. Curiously, Jazz's engineering includes wrist swivels, but the panels molded underneath his forearms render them largely worthless. On another note, his Prime Armor was redecoed for [[Moonracer (G1)#Generations|Moonracer]], [[Firestar (G1)#Generations|Novastar]], [[Punch (G1)#Power of the Primes|Punch-Counterpunch]], and ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'' [[Greenlight#Generations|Greenlight]].

:While not necessarily part of a certain combiner team, his packaging and [[TakaraTomy]] stock photos depict him as part of [[Elita-Infin1te]] while his instructions show him combined with [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|Grimlock]] and the rest of ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class figures in Wave 1.

:Curiously, the roof and upper section of his hood both sport the iconic Martini racing stripes that were also present on the original Generation 1 figure. [[Copyright|Hopefully, nothing will go wrong.]]

:In November of 2017, ''Power of the Primes'' Jazz became the center of a minor controversy when it was discovered that the figure's deco included the acronym "[[President of the United States|MAGA]]" in tiny [[Cybertronix]] text underneath Jazz's Autobot insignia ({{w|Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016|which, for those of you who have been living under a rock since 2016...}}). When reached for questioning, Hasbro responded that they had not sanctioned the political message and would address the issue with the vendor (corporate language for "freelance artist") responsible.<ref>[https://io9.gizmodo.com/uh-is-this-transformers-toy-a-trump-supporter-1820555691 Uh, Is This Transformers Toy a Trump Supporter?]</ref> A re-release of Jazz as part of wave 3 of the ''Power of the Primes'' Deluxe Class featured a [[variant#Running changes|running change]] that saw the "MAGA" text removed, leaving a blank black space. The variant's date stamp is '''80671'''. The TakaraTomy release of the figure also features the "MAGA"acronym.

*'''Meister''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''8'''
**''Accessories'': Stand

:Released in the eighth "Act" of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'', Meister is a PVC figurine based on the cartoon rendition of Jazz. He came in both full-color and pewter-painted versions, both packed one per case.

:The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

:The color versions of Jazz came packaged with the waist of the Act's "build-a-figure" [[Scorponok (G1)/toys#Super Collection Figure|Scorponok]]. This part too could be in either full-color or pewter, packed at a ratio of six color parts to four pewters.

===Heroes of Cybertron===

: Released in the fourth wave of ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' Jazz is a redeco of the ''SCF'' Meister figure. He is cast in blue plastic almost completely painted over, leaving the visor and the back of the head unpainted to take advantage of a [[light-piping]] gimmick. His backpack-windshield is also unpainted, which is a cute touch. He has a number of other paint differences from Meister, including a more cartoon-accurate light blue waist deco, red stripes on his rear wheels rather than blue, a much darker gray face, and a more complex stripe on his backpack.

: He came with a character card, and left leg to the wave's [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure".

==Notes==
[[File:PorscheMiniSubaru.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
* The first toy planned for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line was Jazz as a Porsche 986. A prototype was made, but Porsche refused to grant Hasbro and Takara the license, stating that "Transformers are not worthy [of] carrying the Porsche trademark. They are war machines, and the toyline in no way represents the lifestyle and ideas which Porsche represents."<ref>[http://www.tfarchive.com/community/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24622 Former Porsche employee Addl recounting an informal inquiry with Porsche's licensing department at TF Archive]</ref> As a consequence, the toy ultimately never went into production. Photos of the prototype were depicted in the Japanese book ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'', and Hasbro later also displayed the prototype during the [[BotCon 2007]] Hasbro Tour.
* The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Mazda RX-8 (which ultimately ended up as Meister) was originally intended to be named "[[Camshaft (G1)|Camshaft]]", according to various early store listings and a premature reply from Hasbro's customer service. This would also fit with the early idea of making the Alternators toys "direct updates" of their characters' G1 predecessors. A prototype was leaked to the public in early 2004 sporting the same basic colors as the later ''Alternators'' "Autobot Camshaft" toy (the Acura RSX), although it's uncertain whether the prototype colors for the RX-8 were supposed to be indicative of the proposed colors for Camshaft (since the Acura redeco was originally intended as a G1 Bluestreak [[homage]] before being renamed into "Autobot Camshaft"). The reason why the RX-8 Alternator was ultimately not named "Camshaft" was apparently because the real-life Mazda RX-8 car doesn't ''have'' a camshaft. The irony is staggering, as Camshaft's original toy was an RX-7, which ALSO lacks a camshaft.
* There have been at least two different reasons stated why the Hasbro toy was named "Meister" rather than "Autobot Jazz": For one, Hasbro was still hoping that Porsche would have a change of mind and grant them the license after all, as Chevrolet had done; also, Aaron Archer has been quoted stating that he thought a third toy named "Autobot someone" following "[[Hound (G1)/toys|Autobot Hound]]" and "[[Tracks (G1)/toys|Autobot Tracks]]" would have been somewhat "redundant".
*The Laser Cycle Jazz is not the only cancelled G2 Jazz toy! Revealed on the Graphic Design Portfolio section of Bill Forster's website, is an almost all orange redeco of the G1 Jazz figure.

{{disambig3|Strafe}}
:''Strafe is an [[Autobot]] [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]] from the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (franchise)|Age of Extinction]] portion of the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:AOE Pteranodon concept.jpg|thumb|right|450px|Is a knight. Is not actually a dinosaur. Or a [[Strafe (G1)|Technobot]]. Or a [[Strafe (IDW)|woman]]. You know, maybe "[[Swoop (disambiguation)|Swoop]]" might have worked better after all.]]

You'd be forgiven if upon seeing '''Strafe''' appear on the battlefield, you had some sort of embarrassing evacuation of waste. After all, the sight of a gigantic, two-headed, fire-breathing metal dragon-like pterosaur swooping down on you with lightning speed like some kind of movie monster would shake the toughest fighters. However, Strafe is an interesting contradiction in terms; while a powerful and merciless warrior on the field, off of it Strafe is one of the most friendly and approachable individuals you're ever likely to meet.

Strafe is very good friends with [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]].

==Fiction==
===''Age of Extinction'' film===
[[File:AOEStrafeandBumblebee.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Strafe is about to catch his favourite meal, the [[Bumblebee (Movie)|kid-appeal character]].]]
Strafe was among the Dinobots freed from [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s ship, and subsequently yielded to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]'s command. During the battle in Hong Kong, Strafe aided [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] as he battled [[Stinger (AOE)|Stinger]]. The two fought on Strafe's back until Stinger was defeated, and Strafe got to munch on Stinger's head. Strafe aided in escorting the Seed to safety until Lockdown returned and unleashed his magnetic vortex upon the group. Though he briefly freed [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] from the vortex, the Dinobots were trapped in it again until Optimus destroyed it. Strafe helped hold the line on a bridge until the Seed was transported to safety and Lockdown was defeated. The battle over, Strafe and the Dinobots were freed from Optimus' command and parted on good terms with their new allies.
{{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

===''How to Ride your Dinobot'' cartoon===
Strafe found himself the unwilling target for Bumblebee's first Dinobot riding lesson. Strafe ensured the Autobot had a rough first lesson, flying out of his reach for the majority of the time while trying to feed on scrap metal. Bumblebee laid a trap for Strafe with a tasty gear, and finally held onto a rope that had snared around his leg... but Strafe happily flew Bumblebee into a mountain's wall. Bumblebee seemed to have learned not to mess with Strafe, since he destroyed the Dinobot-riding instruction manual and quit listening to that maddeningly unhelpful narrator. {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 1: Getting on a Dinobot|Getting on a Dinobot}}

===''How to Ride a Dinobot!'' comic===
Strafe was minding his own buisness in a Chinese forest when Optimus Prime and his Autobots arrived, intent on learning how to ride the mighty Dinobots into battle. After Hound tried to boss about [[Slash (AOE)|Slash]] and got hurled away for his efforts, Bumblebee attempted to earn their favor...by giving them treats. This went over a bit ''too'' well, and Strafe was forced to rescue the Autobot from the Dinobot stampede; but the Dinobot immediately sent Bumblebee falling to the ground when the Autobot attempted to ride him. When Grimlock caught the scent of Decepticons, Strafe rolled out with his fellow Dinobots into battle, finally letting Bumblebee ride him. {{Storylink|How to Ride a Dinobot!}}

:Part of the initial wave of Power Battlers, Strafe features a simple transformation from a mechanical, two-headed pterosaur into a robot. In robot mode, squeezing Strafe's legs together causes him to rotate at the waist for a spin attack.

:The Japanese release of this toy, sold as '''Battle Attack Strafe''', features a different color layout that adds a lot of silver.

====Generations====
[[File:AoE deluxe Strafe.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Look, to get the cool shoulder armor, I have to use a two-headed pterosaur mode, okay? Let's accept that. (Hasbro version pictured)]]
*'''Dinobot Strafe''' (Deluxe, 2014)
**''Series'': '''M4: #005'''
**''Japanese release date'': '''2014-[[July 19|07-19]]'''
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''AD-24'''
**''Accessories:'' Crossbow/launcher, missile, 2 swords

: "Generations" Strafe is a more complex and less [[gimmick]]-focused version of Strafe than the "Robots in Disguise" toy. Strafe transforms into a twin-headed ''Pteranodon'' monster. Like all the other Dinobots, Strafe's design is based on medieval knights. Twin swords peg onto his wings, and the swords can also be hand-held in robot mode. He also comes with a pressure-launch missile-firing "crossbow". Pegs on the crossbow allow the swords to attach and create a larger weapon. Both the crossbow and the swords seem to stem from unused concept art, as seen in this page. His tails are made of soft rubber, but due to his packaging, they are almost always bent at an extreme angle out of the package. This can be fixed by soaking the rubber in hot water and then correcting the bends.

: The ''Movie Advanced Series'' version of Strafe features several different paint apps.

::*''[http://www.tfu.info/2014/Autobot/Strafe/strafe.htm More information on Deluxe Strafe at TFU.info]''

*'''Black Knight Strafe''' (Deluxe, December 2014)
**''Accessories:'' Crossbow/launcher, missile, 2 swords

: A redeco of ''Generations'' Strafe, this time in a predominantly black colour scheme with blue highlights, presumably representative of the mainly dark gray appearance of the Dinobots in the movie. '''Black Knight Strafe''' is a Takara [[exclusive]], and was obtainable at [[Cybertron Satellite]] participant stores.

: Available only at [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] stores in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, this two-pack features the "Generations" Deluxe Strafe toy, with no known differences from the normal retail release, packaged with [[Swoop (G1)#TRUEvolution|'classic' Strafe]], a seemingly-unchanged re-release of the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Mini-Con [[Rav (DOTM)|Rav]]. The packaging mistakenly<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0uG8JszvCs&t=23m5s] Botcon 2014 Interview - Hasbro's Mark Weber - Transformers Manager of Global Brand Development</ref> uses the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]] [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]]'s art instead of Swoop's G1 art and lists him as a "stealth fighter" (what our wiki described the 2010 ''Transformers'' [[Strafe (TF 2010)|Strafe]] toy as).

: This three-pack was available exclusively at Walmart stores in the United States, at Asda stores in the United Kingdom, at Müller drug stores in Germany, and at Auchan stores in Italy...thus making Strafe the ''only'' "Generations" toy from the AOE toyline to be officially released in Italy.

:''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]] Premier Edition'' Strafe is once again, a redeco of the first ''Age of Extinction Generations'' Deluxe Class figure, featuring metallic light blue and silver paint applications, but does not use the transparent wings and the retooled back piece from the ''Movie The Best'' figure.
{{-}}

==Notes==
*According to ''Transformers'' Manager of Global Brand Development Mark Weber at New York [[Toy Fair 2014]], Strafe is named so not because of [[trademark]] reasons, but because the film's two-headed design was considered too great a departure from previous [[Swoop (disambiguation)|Swoop]] characters. Of course, this doesn't explain why various toys released around the same time that represent [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] are also named "Strafe"; the fact that [[Swoop (G1)/toys#TitansReturn|Swoop's ''Titans Return'' toy]] was named "Ptero" suggests that Hasbro had lost the trademark to the name "Swoop" [[Swoop (G1)/toys#Power of the Primes|until recently]].
*Also, Strafe's pterosaur mode looks more like a ''Darwinopterus'' than a ''Pteranodon'', albeit two-headed, two-tailed and massively overgrown. Still, referring to Strafe as a ''Darwinopterus'' is more scientifically accurate than calling him a ''Pteranodon'', seeing as how he has teeth and long tails. Of course, either way, [[Scale|Strafe is far too big compared to most of the cast]]...
*Strafe's two pterosaur heads in the movie have some noticeable differences, with the right head having a straight beak and a larger crest as compared to the left head that has a more curved beak, a smaller crest, and two large teeth on its lower jaw. Neither head is scientifically accurate, as discussed above.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Strafe''' (ストレイフ ''Sutoreifu'')
*''Mandarin:'' '''Sǎoshè''' (Taiwan, 掃射, "Strafe")

[[File:AOE Spinosaurus concept.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.2|Illusion never changed into something real.]]

'''Scorn''' is what happens when you combine a destructive war machine with a predator. Nothing else so much as a destroyer on two legs, he's strong and massive. Not only capable of using his ''Spinosaurus'' [[alternate mode]] in combat, Scorn is also a demolitions specialist and wields the Scrapmaker Sword in 'bot mode. His massive size makes him almost impossible to bring down.<ref>http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_US/characters.cfm?bot=Scorn</ref>

He also goes by the nickname '''Spike'''.

===''Age of Extinction'' film===
[[File:AOE-ScornFlipsOut.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.67|This one's for you, ''Jurassic Park III'' haters!]]
Scorn was trapped aboard [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s vessel until [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] and the Autobots stole the section of the ship he was imprisoned on, though Optimus did not reveal the Dinobots' presence to his men until the time came for reinforcements. Optimus offered an ultimatum: stand with the Autobots against their mysterious Creators and [[Galvatron (AOE)|Galvatron]]'s Decepticons, or face death at his hands. [[Grimlock (AOE)|Grimlock]] submitted to his command when beaten in single combat by the Autobot leader, thereby earning his respect, and Scorn and the other Dinobots followed suit. Scorn allowed [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] to ride him into the Hong Kong battle, where Scorn's massive size and lethal sail-spikes proved a great asset in turning the tide. Scorn accompanied the group to try to escort the Seed to safety, but Lockdown returned and turned his tractor beam on them. Scorn would've been recaptured by the bounty hunter had Optimus not destroyed the tractor beam. Scorn helped defend the Seed on a bridge with the other Autobots and Dinobots until Optimus was able to defeat Lockdown. The battle over, Optimus gave the Dinobots their freedom, and Scorn parted with Crosshairs on good terms, who even gave him a new nickname, "Spike". {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

When the Autobots queried Prime on why he wasn't doing the activities, he claimed he had mastered it already...only to be dragged along when Grimlock caught the scent of Decepticons!

*'''Scorn''' (Power Battler, 2014)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA10'''

:Scorn features a basic transformation from a mechanical ''Spinosaurus'' into a robot. Squeezing his legs together in [[robot mode]] rotates the center of his torso, whipping his tail forward in a "Tail Whip!" attack, as well as giving him a new robot-mode head. Funky.

:The Takara ''Lost Age'' version of the toy, sold as '''Battle Attack Scorn''', features different paint applications, making his [[beast mode]] mainly silver.

*'''Scorn''' (Deluxe Class, 2014)
**''Series'': '''M4: #004'''
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AD05'''
**''Accessories:'' Sword

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]''-themed ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Deluxe class toys, Scorn transforms from a robot into a red ''Spinosaurus'' (albeit with a single sail, seemingly indicating the triple-sailed design was a late change to the movie character). His sword can be stored inside his tail, but he can only hold it in his right hand in robot mode, as his left arm converts from his tail into a rather inflexible whip. Scorn's [[transformation]] scheme is [[Megatron (BW)/toys#BWultra|extremely familiar]], yesss.
:The Takara ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' version of the toy uses a darker shade of red plastic, replaces the orange paint apps with gold, and features a painted blade for his sword.

{{-}}{{anchor|LuckyDraw}}
*'''Scorn''' (Lucky Draw figure, 2014)
**''Accessories'': Sword

:This chrome redeco of Scorn is released as a lucky draw figure available through the special midnight launch event of Transformers Age of Extinction toys at Taiwan (and Malaysia's) Toys R Us stores, by purchasing NTD $699 (or RM600) or more of Transformers merchandise, a random chromed Deluxe figure would be given away. The figure is limited to 24 pieces, with 8 in each branch that was participating in the midnight launch. There were four different styles of the figure available, randomly distributed among the stores - this silver chromed Scorn was just one of the four.

:Unfortunately, Due to being a straight vacuum-metalized deco of the ''painted standard figure'', some of his robot parts were not chromed.

*'''Dinobots Unleashed 5-Pack''' (Platinum Edition, 2014)
**''Accessories:'' Sword

:Redecoed from the ''Age of Extinction'' Deluxe Class figure, Scorn sports a ''vaguely'' [[show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] gray color scheme, with heavy use of chrome and transparent plastic. He comes packaged with similarly-themed redecoes of [[Grimlock (AOE)#Platinum5Pack|Grimlock]], [[Slug (AOE)#Platinum5Pack|Slug]], [[Strafe (AOE)#Platinum5Pack|Strafe]] and [[Slog (AOE)#Platinum5Pack|Slog]]

:His Dino head in the stock photos is hilariously upside down.

{{-}}{{anchor|BlackKnight}}
*'''Black Knight Scorn''' (Deluxe, August 2014)
**''Accessories:'' Sword

: A redeco of ''Generations'' Scorn, this time in a predominantly black colour scheme with orange highlights, presumably representative of the mainly dark gray appearance of the Dinobots in the movie. '''Black Knight Scorn''' is a Takara [[exclusive]] to Edion and Bic Camera.

====Kre-O====
[[File:KreO-Toy AoE Dinobot Scorn.jpg|right|thumb|300px| Probably goes hat shopping with the Statue of Liberty.]]
*'''Scorn Street Chase''' (2014)
**''Set number'': '''A6950'''
**''Pieces'': '''106'''
**''Kreons'': Crosshairs, Vehicon x2.

: The centerpiece of the "[[Scorn Street Chase]]" set, ''[[Kre-O]]'' Scorn is a buildable dino-beast. (No, he has no alternate robot build.) His head has a small magnet in the roof of his mouth that allows him to "bite" and carry ferrous metal items, like the crest of the new Vehicon helmets, or the 2x2 circular plate that makes up the Vehicons' backpacks. He has movable (non-firing) cannons on each hip, plus he has exposed studs on his back to allow a [[Kreon]] to ride him. He features no ''Spinosaurus'' sails.

: Unfortunately, Scorn has some construction issues. His tail is extremely lightweight, providing virtually no counterbalance to his front half if you want to have him in a pose that doesn't basically have him standing vertical. His knees are simple clip-and-bar affairs that do not have enough "grip" to hold onto any real weight. When built as shown in the instructions, the jointing is awkward and leaves him with few non-tail-dragging poses. However, building his legs as shown in the promotional photography, omitting the 1x2 plates with the small slope, gives him knees that bend backwards and do a much better job of supporting his weight when standing in a natural horizontal-body pose.

: The set also comes with Kreons of [[Crosshairs (AOE)#Kre-O|Crosshairs]] and two [[Vehicon (Kre-O)#AOE|Vehicons]], plus a simple banner with "Hong Kong" in Chinese (and technically Japanese too).

* '''Scorn''' (Custom Kreon, 2014)
[[File:Custom Kreon Scorn.jpg|thumb]]
: Part of the 3rd wave of the Custom Kreon ''Age of Extinction'' Collection, this Custom Kreon Scorn is based on his ''Age of Extinction'' counterpart. Like his wave mates, he saw limited release primarily in Hasbro's Asian markets, but did eventually make it to market in the US in very limited quantities through discount stores such as Amazing Savings.

===Construct-Bots===
[[File:ConstructBots_Scorn.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Confuse me with a little purple dragon, and you're going home in a body-bag.]]
*'''Scorn''' (Dinobot, 2014)
: Scorn is part of the second wave of Dinobots. Scorn can transform from a ''Spinosaurus'' with two sails on its back into a robot. In dinosaur mode, Scorn is the right size to be ridden by the smaller 'Dinobot Rider' toys in this line.

:Like all Construct-Bots Dinobots, Scorn features a gear-driven gimmick. In Scorn's case, spinning a gear on his back causes his sails to lunge forward for some sort of attack.

:His nominal Dinobot Rider Partner is [[Crosshairs (AOE)#Construct-Bots|Crosshairs]].

====Turbo Changers====
[[File:TF-TLK-Turbo-Changer-Scorn.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
*'''Scorn''' (One-Step Changer, 2017)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TLK-28'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2017-[[September 16|09-16]]'''

:Released as part of the third wave of ''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' Turbo Changers, this Scorn is an all-new mold, transforming from a one-sailed ''spinosaurus'' into a robot in just one step. Unfortunately, due to his transformation scheme, his robot head hilariously sticks out from underneath his dino mode. He has a surprising amount of articulation for a Turbo Changer, though most of it is due to his transformation.

{{-}}

====Premier Edition====
*'''Scorn''' (Voyager, 2017)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TLK-24'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2017-[[September 16|09-16]]'''
[[File:TLKVoyagerScorn.JPG|thumb|upright=1.66|]]
:''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]] Premier Edition'' Scorn is a new Voyager-sized mold that scales with [[Grimlock (AOE)#Voyager Class toys 2|Grimlock]] and the rest of the Deluxe Class Dinobots. He transforms into a mechanical ''Spinosaurus''. Unlike the previous Deluxe Class figure, he has movie-accurate 3 sails on his back and his tail-arm now features several points of articulation.

:This figure has a decent heft to it due to both being large for its scale and being made largely of rubberized plastic.

{{-}}

==Notes==
*Scorn is by far the largest Dinobot appearing in the film, given his status as a ''Spinosaurus'', which is infamous (thanks to ''Jurassic Park III'') for being a much larger predator than ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. Scorn seems to take the role of being the largest Dinobot from [[Sludge (disambiguation)|Sludge]], who traditionally fills the bill in most incarnations of the Dinobots.
*Incidentally, a little more than two months after ''Age of Extinction'' hit the theater, additional fossils of ''Spinosaurus'' were unveiled to the public. The new reconstruction depicts an animal with [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/09/140911-spinosaurus-fossil-discovery-dinosaur-science/ an even larger dorsal sail and incredibly short hindlegs]. This makes Scorn's [[alternate mode]] an outdated depiction of ''Spinosaurus'', which is a pity, considering that he was the most scientifically accurate Dinobot to appear in the movie before this revelation.
**Interestingly, this is ''also'' a [[Sludge (G1)#Notes|trait that Scorn shares with G1 Sludge]]. [[Red Alert (G1)|It's a conspiracy, I tell you!]]
*In [http://static.seibertron.com/images/movie/uploads/1414058321_a5.jpg later concept drawings], Scorn was planned to have used his spines as small projectiles.
*Scorn's Deluxe class package photo depicts an early version of Scorn. This version's dino-mode head seems to split down the middle to form a slightly wider hand. Although it does leave an unsightly gap in the head.

===Foreign names===
*''Japanese:'' '''Scorn''' (スコーン ''Sukōn'')

Custom Kreon

2018-07-23T04:56:19Z

Therepairbay: /* Toys */

:''Custom Kreons are a subgroup from the brick-based world of [[Kre-O]].''

First released at the back-end of 2013, the individually-carded '''Custom Kreons''' include a number of extra body parts and accessories, many [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]] (thus resulting in some ''extremely'' tight fits) or translucent (which, when combined with the chromed parts, may end up with stress fractures). The [[Kreon]]s' "normal" body parts have a metal-flake sheen and more metallic [[tampograph]]s.

They also come with a customizable "rack" to store their unused parts, though the helmets just kind of sit on the torso's neck-pegs, not secure at all. Returning characters typically have altered and more extensive [[tampograph]]s across most of their opaque parts.

This series was intentionally produced in smaller numbers than the other series.

;''Robots in Disguise'' Collection 1

: This assortment showcases characters from the ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)|Robots in Disguise]]'' animated series.

:The part count takes ''another'' hit, now in the mid-20s, with simpler weapons and no backpacks. No more chromed robot parts either, only a single chromed weapon part. The racks are now in the characters' base colors, and built on a new baseplate piece. This wave does add a 1x1 cylinder to attach to the unused torsos' neck-pegs to keep the unused helmets in place, so there's that. Like the entire 2015 new product line, these use the reworked 2015 style Kreon, making virtually everything from the neck down incompatible with prior Kreons.

:''Also'' like the rest of the 2015 line, these toys were not released in the US at first, sold only in Canada and Hasbro Asia markets. However, they began to appear at US discount stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls in late 2015 at clearance prices.

:''Grimlock is an [[Autobot]] [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]] from the [[live-action film series]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:AOE Grimlock concept.jpg|thumb|right|400px|When me Grimlock go clubbin', me make sure to pack extra mace just in case.]]
'''Grimlock''' is a [[Dinobot (AOE)|Dinobot]] with a rather rough n' tough attitude. One of the most powerful warriors alive, his general approach to a problem is to smash it first, worry about the specifics later. This attitudes extends to his [[Autobot]] [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|companions]], who are expected to meet Grimlock's standard of strength. That said, the Autobots have a lot less to fear from this behemoth than the [[Decepticon]]s.

==Fiction==
===Movies===
{{note|The five movies are the primary component of the live-action movie continuity family. Their events should be taken as canon for all other pieces of fiction listed below, unless otherwise specified.}}

====''Age of Extinction'' film====
[[File:Age-of-extinction-grimlock-hanged.jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[John DiMaggio|King Shark]] knows how you feel after being in Arkham Asylum.]]

Grimlock was a prisoner aboard [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]]'s [[Knight Ship|ship]] until the Autobots detached that section and flew it to [[China]], though Optimus did not inform his troops of their presence. When [[Galvatron (AOE)|Galvatron]]'s new Decepticons shot down their ship, Optimus went to recruit the Dinobots for their aid. Optimus was nevertheless amazed that the "legend" existed, and freed Grimlock and his men. Optimus explained to Grimlock that the [[Creator (AOE)|Creator]]s intended to wipe them all out, and urged them to stand with him, or refuse and die. Grimlock immediately challenged Optimus, but despite his immense size and strength, was bested in combat. Grimlock submitted to Optimus's lead, and allowed the Autobot leader to mount him. Grimlock and Optimus led the Dinobot-Autobot charge into [[Hong Kong]], where Grimlock killed many Decepticons with ease.

[[File:AOEOptimusRidingGrimlock.jpg|thumb|right|300px| Me Grimlock no Yoshi! Me Grimlock KING!]]
Grimlock later helped escort the [[Seed]] to a safe location, but Lockdown arrived and turned his tractor beam on them. Grimlock and the Dinobots would have been captured once again had Optimus not destroyed the tractor projector with a well-placed shot. Optimus ordered Grimlock and the others to flee while he fought Lockdown. The group subsequently held the line on a nearby bridge until Optimus, [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], and their human allies triumphed and killed Lockdown. Optimus granted Grimlock and the Dinobots their freedom, and Grimlock happily departed with his team for parts unknown. {{storylink|Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|Age of Extinction}}

====''The Last Knight'' film====
[[File:TLK Grimlock_eats_cruiser.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Grimlock's story.]]
In the years following the battle in China, Grimlock, along with Slug and three new [[Mini Dinobot|Mini-Dinobots]], joined the Autobots in hiding at [[Cade Yeager]]'s [[Junkyard (TLK)|scrapyard]]. Unfortunately, he developed a habit of stealing the local sheriff's cruiser and using it as a chew toy. On the day Cade encountered [[Talisman Knight|a dying Cybertronian knight]], he returned to find an angry sheriff demanding the return of his vehicle. Grimlock tried to hide the cruiser by eating it but was eventually berated into vomiting it back up. Cade then turned on his assistant [[Jimmy (TLK)|Jimmy]] for not keeping Grimlock under control, who pointed out that without Cade the Autobots were uncontrollable and Grimlock had tried to eat him at least once. Grimlock later relaxed in the scrapyard while Cade called his daughter [[Tessa Yeager|Tessa]].
The next day, their refuge was discovered by the Decepticons and the [[Transformers Reaction Force|T.R.F.]] forces. As their enemies prepared to invade, Cade and the Autobots escaped to a nearby town to carry out their emergency plan. Grimlock joined [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] in laying a trap for the pursuing TRF forces, bursting from beneath the road leading to the town and destroying the convoy. Grimlock then made his way to the town in time to save Cade and Izzy from [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], swatting the Decepticon with his tail, before slamming [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] himself into the ground. As [[Dreadbot]] ran in to assist, Grimlock snapped him up and killed the Decepticon bank robber. He then turned his attention back to Megatron and [[Nitro Zeus]], who quickly fled once Grimlock unleashed his considerable might upon the Decepticons. Grimlock remained in America after Cade was taken to [[England]] by [[Cogman]] and did not participate in the final battle on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

===''How to Ride your Dinobot'' cartoon===
Grimlock found himself being the guinea pig for [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]]'s Dinobot-riding lessons. To his irritation, Optimus rudely beckoned him to move forward, and was thus thrown into a barn. Optimus's mood did not improve much, but Grimlock's did, as it was now time for him to ride Optimus. The Autobot leader proved a much more compliant steed, to Grimlock's joy. {{storylink|How to Ride Your Dinobot Chapter 2: How to Ride|How to Ride}}

===''How to Ride a Dinobot!'' comic===
Grimlock was minding his own business in a Chinese forest, when suddenly Optimus Prime and his Autobots arrived, intent on learning how to ride the mighty Dinobots into battle. Unfortunately for them, the Dinobots proved uncooperative steeds, with [[Slash (AOE)|Slash]] tossing [[Hound (Movie)|Hound]] through the air, Bumblebee nearly getting mauled when attempting to feed them and [[Scorn]] and [[Slug (AOE)|Slug]] smashing [[Crosshairs (AOE)|Crosshairs]] and [[Drift (AOE)|Drift]] together. When the Autobots queried Prime on why he wasn't doing the activities, he claimed he had mastered it already...only to be dragged along when Grimlock caught the scent of Decepticons! {{Storylink|How to Ride a Dinobot!}}

===''Kre-O'' cartoon===
Grimlock participated in an enormous battle against the Decepticons... until Optimus Prime began talking about the plot of the [[live-action film series]] to the audience. He quickly grew bored during his leader's monologue and attempted to order a pizza over the phone. The beeping caused by Grimlock dialing up the pizza place kept on interrupting Optimus when he tried to spoil the plot of the [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (film)|fourth film]]. Optimus settled with introducing Grimlock and the rest of the Dinobots. Then Grimlock's pizza arrived, and the fighting started up once again. {{storylink|Take Us to the Movies}} {{Storylink|Take Us Through the Movies}}

Grimlock served as Optimus's mount as the two of them burst in on a bunch of Vehicons building the Galvatron Factory Battle set. Announcing that it was "Dinner Time!", Grimlock used a sort of tractor beam to draw his victims into his maw. He also got to stomp down on [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]], and kicked his head away. {{storylink|Commercial/Age of Extinction#Dino Force|Kre-O Dino Force commercial}}

With Drift distracted by Lockdown's troops, Optimus and Bumblebee made their way to Lockdown. With their mutual enemies near defeat, Grimlock ran off to hunt some of the fleeing mercenaries. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark}}

*'''Grimlock''' (Flip & Change, 2014)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Big Grimlock'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[2014]]-[[July 19|07-19]]
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA02'''

:Part of the first wave of Flip & Change toys, Grimlock transforms into a robotic horned ''Tyrannosaurus'' by way of an [[autotransformation]] gimmick, triggered by holding his tail parts and flipping him over and over himself (or spin his tail while he was standing on a flat ground). Grimlock features very limited articulation on the arms, and features 5mm-compatible hands. The toy was inadvertently sold by some [[Walmart]]s before the official May 17th street date for ''Age of Extinction'' merchandise.

:The Japanese release of Grimlock, called "Big Grimlock" to separate it from the One Step Changer, has a primarily silver deco, especially on the dinosaur parts. It also has some other changes like golden teeth and red dino eyes. The Flip and Change construction gimmick is also ''removed'' from the release, requiring the toy to be transformed by hand.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''LA04'''

:One-Step Changer Grimlock features a one-step autotransformation in both directions from robot to dinosaur, triggered by folding his robot shoulders/dinosaur thighs. His only articulation is the arms, which can move up and down. Grimlock also features a magnet on his right leg, which can accommodate the ''Stomp & Chomp'' figure (see below). Also, due to the knee spikes on the legs somewhat getting in the way while transforming back to ''T. rex'' form, it must be adjusted by hand when converting in mid-transformation.

:Like the Flip & Change version, the Japanese release of this toy features more silver than orange.

:Stomp & Chomp Grimlock is a 22" tall figure designed as a centerpiece for the One-Step Changer line, featuring light and sound effects and a one-step autotransformation performed by squeezing and pulling the handle. A One-Step Changer, Power Battler, or the included non-transforming Optimus Prime figure can ride him in dinosaur mode, and the toy is able to detect if said rider is Autobot or Decepticon and change its electronics effects accordingly.

These pieces can combine into a larger weapon that can be used by other Transformers toys. He also comes with an opaque gray [[Energon star|Energon chip]] which could be be attached to most ''Energon''-line toys, but unlike every other release of an Energon toy the chip is glued to his body, concealing that the spark crystal is missing from the construction of this toy.

**''Japanese ID number'': '''AD03'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[May 17|05-17]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece spiked maul

:Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction:]] [[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Voyager Class toys, Grimlock transforms into a silver and bronze ''Tyrannosaurus'' with [[Articulation|articulated]] horns, and a button-activated, spring-loaded chomping jaw. He comes with a spiked maul that he can ''sorta'' wield via the smaller [[5mm post|5mm handle]] at the top of its haft. The maul's head and handle are two separate pieces, and the weapon can slide onto to his tail to store in dino mode... as a ''really'' long tail extension. Yeah...

:There is a bronze paint color variation on the Hasbro release of this figure. The bronze paint can either be colored to match the bronze plastic -or- it can be colored very intensely, appearing oversaturated as more of an "orangey-bronze" color as seen on the Evolution 2-Pack and the Legion two-pack figure. This paint variation can be easily spotted when comparing Grimlock's robot mode hip pieces to each other, seeing the painted sides versus the plastic center and plastic dinosaur arms. Having both the bronze paint and the oversaturated "orangey-bronze" paint versions side-by-side makes the latter one much more noticeable in person.

:The TakaraTomy version, part of the first wave of the ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'', lacks the silver paint on his dinosaur head, features additional paint on his robot face and legs, and has red dinosaur eyes.

:This toy was later redecoed into [[Nemesis Grimlock]] and [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Transformers .282014.29|''Transformers'' (2014) Dinobots Generation One 4-pack Grimlock]], and retooled into [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition Dinobots set Grimlock]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''AD20'''
**''Japanese release date:'' '''2014-[[July 19|07-19]]'''
**''Accessories:'' "Dragontooth Mace", shield

:Part of the first wave of ''Age of Extinction: Generations'' Leader Class toys, this version of Grimlock transforms into an oddly-elongated, [[Vacuum metallizing|chromed out]], black-and-bronze ''Tyrannosaurus'' with an articulated jaw, and ''tiny'' vestigial arms. A large section of his dino mode rear detaches and splits into two accessories: a spiked mace-like weapon formed out of his rather short, pointy tail, which he can wield ''normally'' via 5mm post, as well as a spiky, sawbladed shield formed from the dino mode's hip armor, which can slot onto the dino feet on his forearms.

:He features chrome on several pegs, tabs, slots, and holes, all of which have a nasty tendency to flake.

:All releases of ''Age of Extinction'' Leader-Class Grimlock have very similar looking left & right robot mode feet and thus, are notorious for being incorrectly added to the figure during factory assembly, resulting in a left foot on a right leg, a right foot on a left leg, two left feet, or two right feet. Not having the right foot on the right leg and left foot on the left leg causes him to not stand properly because each foot is designed on the bottom to sit at a specific slanted angle. Both feet look very similar to one another, however they can be identified by finding the corresponding "L" and "R" on each one. If placed on a flat surface to be viewed, one will notice that both feet have subtle slants to their stance. Unfortunately, Leader Grimlock's feet cannot be swapped to correct this issue unless one manages to heat up the rivets holding them in with the tip of a soldering iron and carefully remove them.
:This figure was only made available as a store [[exclusive]] in parts of Europe, at least in the United Kingdom (at Argos) and Germany (at Rossmann drug stores).

:His [[stock photography]] features a [[:File:AOE-Leader-Class-Grimlock.jpg|''completely'' different deco]] compared to the final product.

:The TakaraTomy version is dubbed '''Black Knight Grimlock''', and features a more [[Show-accuracy|screen-accurate]] deco... meaning he's almost entirely silver and grey, but with a bit of bronze. As with the Hasbro release, this Grimlock can also suffer from the incorrectly-assembled feet problem that the original Leader Class figure could have.

:The TakaraTomy release of the figure features extensive paint applications to resembles his on-screen appearances, and his pop-out mask is now vacuum metallized with some metallic red details.

[[File:TF-TLK-Voyager-Grimlock.jpg|upright=1.99|thumb|No, me Grimlock had ''better'' colors!]]
*'''Grimlock''' (Premier Edition Voyager, 2017)
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TLK-05'''
**''Japnaese release date'': '''2017-[[April 29|04-29]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Two-piece spiked maul

:''Premier Edition'' Grimlock is once again, a redeco of the original [[#Voyager Class toys|Voyager Class figure]] without the retooled pegs previously included in the ''Movie The Best'' release, and he sports an even more screen/concept art-accurate silver and gunmetal paint scheme (with his robot eyes being painted blue and his ''T.rex'''s eyes are painted red). The mold degradation from the [[Grimlock_(G1)/toys#Platinum_Edition|''Platinum Edition'' Dinobots 5-pack release]] is still present in this mold.

:In Asia's Toys"R"Us shops, Grimlock is a shelfwarmer, with many/several units unsold. TakaraTomy's stock photo of the robot mode figure was later used as a cutout "battle figure" included with Telebi Magazine's [[Megatron (Movie)/toys#TVMagazineEZ|Burning Megatron]].

====Turbo Change Series====
*'''Grimlock''' (2018)
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TC-08'''

:''Turbo Change Series'' Grimlock is essentially a re-release of the Turbo Changer figure with new packaging. Like most of the wave's Turbo Changers, Grimlock's pin on the leg is most likely to be restored for activating the second Battle Command Optimus Prime toy's gimmicks.

===Generations===
====Studio Series====
[[File:StudioSeries-07-MV4-Leader-Grimlock.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Me Grimlock know that you will throw away ''all'' the toys above me.]]
* '''Grimlock''' (Leader Class, [[2018]])
**''Number:'' '''07'''
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''SS-07'''
**''Accessories'': Hong Kong Pursuit backdrop

:''[[Studio Series]]'' Grimlock is an all new Leader-sized mold that transforms from a screen-accurate robot into a screen-accurate dinosaur based on ''T. rex''. Due to a rough robot mode scale being a design intent of the line, Grimlock is the largest figure in the line with Blackout coming up to his shoulder. He features patina dry-brushing all over the figure to boost movie-accuracy. His coattails and teeth (on both heads) are made of soft rubber and may be slightly warped in-package. The spike on the front of his helmet and dinosaur horns are also rubbery, but do not seem to have the same problem of coming out bent. His left hand has a 5mm peg hole but has trouble holding his Voyager version's mace due to differences in the size of the hands between the two.

:Despite being in-scale with other ''Studio Series'' toys, Grimlock's size dwarfs from his on-screen counterpart, standing shorter than his actual height.

:In a surprising rarity; the TakaraTomy stock photos of the ''T. rex'' mode show a mistranformed toy: his right arm isn't bent in all the way, leaving a gap in his ''T. rex'' mode, his legs aren't completely compressed for ''T. rex'' mode, and his tail piece from his mace isn't pushed up all the way. Finally, the tips of his robot mode feet aren't folded up into the ''T. rex'' feet.

==Notes==
*[[Transformers Comic issue 5.1|Titan's bio for Grimlock]] says he was given his dino mode "during [[Shockwave (Movie)|Shockwave's]] experiments... which left him low on intellect". Different [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] there!
*At approximately 42 meters (140 feet) in length in alt-mode, Grimlock is more than three times as large as a real ''{{w|Tyrannosaurus}}''.
*Like his fellow knight [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], the majority of Grimlock's ''Age of Extinction'' toys and merchandise are based on a preliminary design not used in the final film (Currently seen at the top of this article). This also includes his appearance in ''Rise of the Dark Spark'' and his ''The Last Knight'' Tiny Turbo Changers and Voyager Class toys. This became difficult to notice as promotional images mainly used Grimlock's dinosaur mode, which went unchanged throughout. Grimlock's final design sees him redesigned to be more monstrous from the waist-up, with some of the knight-like elements toned down. Inexplicably, this included giving him one dinosaur head on each shoulder pad- where does the other head come from?

==2011 Japanese McDonald's promotion==
[[File:Mcdonalds prime foodstraps.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
In 2011, McDonald's stores in Japan offered two non-transforming figures as a promotional tie-in with the release of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'', these toys feature proximity-triggered electronic sound and light gimmicks:

*[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]
*[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]

Additionally, three rather different figures were available through other promotions. These three "Foodstrap" figures (so called due to the dangling strap attached to each used to hang them off other things) depicted ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]'' characters popping out of items of McDonald's food via spring-loaded push-button triggers. They included:

*Burger Transformer ([[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys|Optimus Prime]])
*Shake Transformer ([[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]])
*Potato Transformer ([[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys|Bumblebee]])

Bumblebee was available only as a mailaway exclusive in the September issue of ''TV Boy Magazine'', while the other two were claimed by redeeming a coupon obtained with the purchase of a Happy Meal at participating retailers. Bafflingly, these three figures could interact with the new trailer released with the ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' Optimus Prime set, which included moulded spaces specially designed to accommodate them in its floor.

==2011 Dark of the Moon Burger King promotion==
In 2011, Burger King released eight super-deformed figures based on characters appearing in [[Dark of the Moon]]. The figures' bodies could be tucked away within their oversized heads.

*[[Sideswipe (RID)|Sideswipe]] (Repeatedly pressing the button on the figure's back rapidly spins his handheld Energon blades.)
*[[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] (Rolling the figure forward causes his hands, one of them a drill, to spin.)

'''Bulletman relates the story of how the Adventure Team discovered the Talisman, and ran into Soundwave along the way.'''

==Synopsis==
Seeking information on the [[Talisman]], [[Action Man]] takes [[Ayana Jones|Mayday]], [[G.B. Blackrock|Blackrock]], and [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]] to meet actor Richard Ruby, aka "[[Bulletman]]", a former member of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'s predecessors, the [[Adventure Team (G.I. Joe)|Adventure Team]], who were the ones that located the mysterious relic in the first place decades earlier. Posing as talent scouts seeking material for a new movie, the group meets with Ruby on the set of his latest film, and asks him to tell them the story...

''During [[World War II]], [[Sgt. Savage]] and his unit, the [[Screaming Eagles]], encounter an army of [[Iron Trooper|strange, robotic soldiers]] in [[Kalistan]]. Fascinated by the metal beings, Savage's subordinate [[Garrison Kreiger]] spends the subsequent decades searching for their origin. Eventually, with the help of Egyptologist Doctor [[Elliot Marsh]], he identifies and locates the [[Tomb of Amtoltec]] in Dashur, [[Egypt]], as the potential resting place of the force that created the robots. When the two men enter the tomb, however, the treacherous Kreiger shoots Marsh, intending to take the technological treasure within for himself...''

''Three days later, the Adventure Team arrive in response to an emergency beacon emanating from within the pyramid. [[Joe Colton]] is the first to arrive and heads inside the tomb solo, where he finds himself beset by an army of robotic mummies—robots, he realizes, of similar design to those faced by Savage during the war. While Colton fights his way through them, the robot spill outside the pyramid, where they attack other Adventure Team members [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]] and [[Miles Mayhem|Mayhem]]. Unable to stand up to the automatons, Stalker calls in Bulletman and [[Atomic Man]], the super-powered members of the Adventure Team, who stand more of a chance against these unnatural foes.''

''Venturing deeper into the tomb, Colton finds Marsh's tape player, which is still replaying his old audio notes. Colton picks the device up, but when more mummies appear and attack him, he drops it over a ledge... whereupon it transforms into a giant robot! Unbeknownst to Colton, he is looking at the [[Decepticon]] [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]], who promptly disposes of the mummies and then moves to head further underground, his "beacon" having actually been a sensor scan that has allowed him to locate the origin point of the robot army. When Colton attempts to question him, Soundwave turns his weapons on the human, blowing a hole in the pyramid as he shoots the tomb floor out from under him. Joe almost plummets to his doom, but is snatched to safety by Mayhem, who had followed him into the pyramid during the battle.''

''Colton and Mayhem pursue Soundwave into the depths of the tomb, catching up to him just as he smashes his way into the core chamber. There, Kreiger is found with the Talisman and a control console for the robot mummies. The rest of the Adventure Team soon arrive through the hole blown open by Soundwave, and together, they annoy the Decepticon ''just'' enough to provoke a response. Soundwave scatters the humans and the mummies with sonic attacks, then opens fire on Atomic Man, searing his cybernetic limbs with energy blasts. Driven by some subconscious urge, the wounded Atomic Man reaches out to the Talisman with his ravaged limbs, and finds himself flooded with its energy. An intrigued Soundwave pauses to scan Atomic Man and the Talisman, which gives Stalker the opening to drive the Adventure Team's truck right into his face. Frustrated by the humans' continued interference and content with what he has learned, Soundwave departs to resume his [[Spotlight: Soundwave|true mission]] on Earth, but his exit brings the pyramid crashing down around the Adventure Team. They are saved by Atomic Man, whose newly-empowered limbs somehow project an energy field that catches all the debris.''

Ruby wraps up his story, lamenting that it marked the beginning of the end for the Adventure Team, as the world only began to get stranger, full of threats that ordinary guys like Colton, Mayhem, and Stalker were not equipped to deal with like he and Atomic Man were. As Ruby is called back in front of the camera, Blackrock maps out the group's next move, detailing how Kreiger went on to establish the [[I.R.O.N. Army|International Robotic Operations Network]] corporation, only to subsequently vanish. His company was then taken over by [[Iron Klaw|Count von Rani]], the ruler of Kalistan, who recently appointed former head of [[Cobra]], [[Tomax and Xamot|Tomax Paoli]], as its current interim CEO.

As such, it's no surprise that [[Baron Ironblood]] and [[Doctor X]] are paying a visit to Tomax to warn him that the heroes will soon be closing in on him, and to urge him to take up the mantle of [[Cobra Commander]]. Tomax is not interested in their help... until their newest, most unexpected ally speaks up: a steampunk [[Transformer]] wearing an [[Autobot]] insignia!

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
*The "meet the cast" feature at the start of this issue establishes that Bulletman made his name as a hero by saving the town of [[Poverty Flat]]. This little town previously appeared in [[Earthfall Part 2: Detonation Boulevard|''Robots in Disguise'' #29]]-[[Earthfall Chapter 3: The Mind Bomb|30]].
*The hieroglyphics seen in the first panel of the story include renderings of [[Shockwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Shockwave]], a [[Decepticon|Decepticon]] insignia, and [[Micronaut]]s [[Acroyear (Micronaut)|Acroyear]] and [[Biotron]]. Shockwave has been entombed on Earth since prehistoric times, as seen in ''[[Spotlight: Shockwave]]'', while there is an as-yet unexplained link between the Micronauts and ancient Egypt that is being explored over in {{i|Micronauts (comic)|their own title}}.
*Soundwave being on Earth in the 1980s, disguised in his period-appropriate cassette player mode, is an established piece of IDW history that originates from 2007's ''[[Spotlight: Soundwave]]''. He makes only a vague allusion to his true purpose on Earth at the end of the story; as detailed in his ''Spotlight'', he has trailed [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]] to the planet, and when he faces him at some point after the events of this issue, he will be knocked offline and trapped in his alternate mode for over twenty years.
*At two points in the flashback, the remains of Cybertronian-scale robots can be seen lying about the tomb. Now what's going on there, eh?
*While mistaking Soundwave for a piloted mecha, Colton wonders if Action Man is in the pilot's seat. This would presumably be [[:File:Revolution prelude action man adventure team.jpg|the unnamed 1980s holder of the codename]] glimpsed in "[[Secret Raiders: A Revolution Prelude|Secret Raiders]]".
*Bulletman was previously established to be working in television when he appeared in 2013's {{i|Threat Matrix, Prologue: Cover Girl|''G.I. Joe'' vol. 3 #6}} as a participant in a reality TV series (in a story set some years in the past, before [[Cover Girl]] joined G.I. Joe). That story established his backstory as a pilot and member of [[Seal Team Six]] mentioned in this issue, but didn't indicate a previous history as an actor; this issue massages things together by establishing that his pilot days were as a Hollywood stunt flier, post-military.
*Kup mentions a "metal fella, has a dog, really unnerstands how to write", referring to [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]].
*Tomax took control of Cobra at some point during the five-year timeskip between {{i|G.I. Joe vol. 3|volumes 3}} {{i|G.I. Joe vol. 4|and 4}} of IDW's ''Joe'' series. Ironblood and Blackrock call him "Cobra Commander", but though he took the job, he never took the title; he expresses dislike of it here. If you're new to IDW ''Joe'' continuity, we'll tell you here not to expect Tomax's infamous twin brother Xamot to appear; he was killed by [[Chuckles]] {{i|King Cobra|back in}} 2010.
*Doctor X says Cobra has a "thousand-year reign", but Tomax calls "half of it" fiction. The timeline in [[Crisis Intervention|issue #1]] included the story point of [[Dante Alighieri]] as a Cobra agent 700 years ago, indicating that that part, at least, is accurate, but Tomax's remark indicates that some of the other stories we have been told about the history of Cobra (mostly in {{i|G.I. Joe vol. 3 issue 12|''G.I. Joe'' vol. 3 #12}}-{{i|G.I. Joe vol.3 issue 13|13}}) may not be entirely true.
*What in the ''flippin' '''WHAT?!''''' The Autobot who appears on the final page of this issue is the "steampunk" incarnation of [[Bumblebee (G1)#Hearts of Steel|Bumblebee]] seen in the 2006 ''[[Hearts of Steel]]'' mini-series, with an added cowcatcher [[mouthplate]]. Even his unique speech bubble design is lifted directly from that series! ''Hearts of Steel'', however, is an ''alternate continuity'' in which the Autobots and Decepticons came to Earth during the Ice Age, and awoke from hibernation in the 1800s. How this works here and now... well, I guess we'll have to keep reading to find out!

===Transformers references===
*Kreiger refers to the robotic technology created by the Talisman as "Binaltech", after the Japanese name for the ''[[Transformers: Alternators]]'' toyline. Later in the story, when trying to come up with a name for Soundwave, Colton calls him an "Alternator". Additionally, this isn't the first time Kreiger and Binaltech have been connected; he was one of the [[Concurrence]] of villains featured in the [[Story of Binaltech|fiction]] associated with the ''Binaltech'' toyine.
*In cassette player mode, Soundwave has been drawn based on a version of his toy with incorrectly-applied stickers. The trapezoids on either side of his alt mode are based on stickers that are supposed to wrap around his weapons, but which are, for whatever reason, quite commonly misapplied to the figure in the position seen here.
*Thinking Soundwave is a piloted mech, Colton wonders if an acquaintance of his named "[[Hideaki]]" is in the driver's seat. This is probably a reference to [[Hideaki Yoke]], [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s lead ''Transformers'' designer, who has worked on the franchise as far back as ''[[Diaclone]]'' and ''[[Micro Change]]'' days.

===Hasbro franchise references===
*The title of this story, along with the name "Amtoltec" and the whole conceit of the Adventure Team fighting mummies, is taken from the 1970 ''G.I. Joe'' playset, "The Secret of the Mummy's Tomb", and the comic book with which it came packed. The mummy in ''that'' particular story was just a guy in disguise Scooby-Dooing it up!
*This issue retroactively establishes that the unnamed African-American "Adventurer" figure from the Adventure Team toyline is a younger incarnation of G.I. Joe member Stalker.
*In addition to what's described above, the hieroglyphics also contain something that ''doesn't'' exist in IDW continuity yet: the irregular hexagon chestplate design of the [[Visionaries]]!
*Doctor Marsh is a character lifted from the 1980s ''G.I. Joe'' episode "The Gods Below". The episode is alluded to further by this story when "the gods below" are mentioned in Marsh's translation one of the Amtoltec inscriptions.
*Garrison Kreiger, Grill, and of course Sergeant Savage himself are all characters from the 1994 ''G.I. Joe'' spin-off series, ''Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles''. Kreiger's codename in that series was "General Blitz"; he is just "Blitz" here. The Iron Troopers seen in this issue are inspired by Blitz's "I.R.O.N. Stormtroopers" from the ''Sgt. Savage'' series, though it looks like it might be the other way around in this continuity...
*The backpacks Stalker and Mayhem are wearing are real toys from the Adventure Team series. Stalker is wearing the "Signal Flasher," while Mayhem has the "Life-Line Catapult."
*Joe makes a crack about his "eagle eyes," one of the famous action features of the Adventure Team toyline.
*Count von Rani, aka "Iron Klaw", was the villain of the 1990s ''G.I. Joe Extreme'' series. He and Kreiger have been linked before: not only were the two both members of the Concurrence in the ''Binaltech'' storyline, but in [[Andromeda - Axiom Nexus News Reporter/src#May 1, 2016|a Fun Publications addition]] to the [[Devil's Due Press|Devil's Due]] ''[[G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers]]'' continuity, Iron Klaw's [[S.K.A.R.|organization]] also absorbed the remnants of General Blitz's legacy!

===Other real-life references===
*In addition to an "Alternator," Colton calls Soundwave a "Convertor", after the 1980s transforming-robot toyline from Select.

===Errors===
*The history given for Garrison Krieger, with him as one of the Screaming Eagles who founded I.R.O.N. after the events of this issue, doesn't line up with {{i|G.I. Joe vol. 3}}, which mentioned General Blitz as the leader of the I.R.O.N. Army during World War II. Of course, G.I. Joe vol. 3 played somewhat fast and loose with continuity anyway...
*The inside front cover retains the title of the last issue, [[Enter the Shadow]].

===Other trivia===
*Originally solicited for release in February, this issue arrives a month late halfway through March... which, coincidentally, means it was released 10 years to the month after ''[[Spotlight: Soundwave]]'', the first story about Soundwave's arrival on Earth.
*Iron Klaw's name is spelled as "Count van Rani" as opposed to the original "von Rani". It is yet unclear if this is an intentional change or an error.

'''Bulletman relates the story of how the Adventure Team discovered the Talisman, and ran into Soundwave along the way.'''

==Synopsis==
Seeking information on the [[Talisman]], [[Action Man]] takes [[Ayana Jones|Mayday]], [[G.B. Blackrock|Blackrock]], and [[Kup (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Kup]] to meet actor Richard Ruby, aka "[[Bulletman]]", a former member of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]]'s predecessors, the [[Adventure Team (G.I. Joe)|Adventure Team]], who were the ones that located the mysterious relic in the first place decades earlier. Posing as talent scouts seeking material for a new movie, the group meets with Ruby on the set of his latest film, and asks him to tell them the story...

''During [[World War II]], [[Sgt. Savage]] and his unit, the [[Screaming Eagles]], encounter an army of [[Iron Trooper|strange, robotic soldiers]] in [[Kalistan]]. Fascinated by the metal beings, Savage's subordinate [[Garrison Kreiger]] spends the subsequent decades searching for their origin. Eventually, with the help of Egyptologist Doctor [[Elliot Marsh]], he identifies and locates the [[Tomb of Amtoltec]] in Dashur, [[Egypt]], as the potential resting place of the force that created the robots. When the two men enter the tomb, however, the treacherous Kreiger shoots Marsh, intending to take the technological treasure within for himself...''

''Three days later, the Adventure Team arrive in response to an emergency beacon emanating from within the pyramid. [[Joe Colton]] is the first to arrive and heads inside the tomb solo, where he finds himself beset by an army of robotic mummies—robots, he realizes, of similar design to those faced by Savage during the war. While Colton fights his way through them, the robot spill outside the pyramid, where they attack other Adventure Team members [[Stalker (G.I. Joe)|Stalker]] and [[Miles Mayhem|Mayhem]]. Unable to stand up to the automatons, Stalker calls in Bulletman and [[Atomic Man]], the super-powered members of the Adventure Team, who stand more of a chance against these unnatural foes.''

''Venturing deeper into the tomb, Colton finds Marsh's tape player, which is still replaying his old audio notes. Colton picks the device up, but when more mummies appear and attack him, he drops it over a ledge... whereupon it transforms into a giant robot! Unbeknownst to Colton, he is looking at the [[Decepticon]] [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]], who promptly disposes of the mummies and then moves to head further underground, his "beacon" having actually been a sensor scan that has allowed him to locate the origin point of the robot army. When Colton attempts to question him, Soundwave turns his weapons on the human, blowing a hole in the pyramid as he shoots the tomb floor out from under him. Joe almost plummets to his doom, but is snatched to safety by Mayhem, who had followed him into the pyramid during the battle.''

''Colton and Mayhem pursue Soundwave into the depths of the tomb, catching up to him just as he smashes his way into the core chamber. There, Kreiger is found with the Talisman and a control console for the robot mummies. The rest of the Adventure Team soon arrive through the hole blown open by Soundwave, and together, they annoy the Decepticon ''just'' enough to provoke a response. Soundwave scatters the humans and the mummies with sonic attacks, then opens fire on Atomic Man, searing his cybernetic limbs with energy blasts. Driven by some subconscious urge, the wounded Atomic Man reaches out to the Talisman with his ravaged limbs, and finds himself flooded with its energy. An intrigued Soundwave pauses to scan Atomic Man and the Talisman, which gives Stalker the opening to drive the Adventure Team's truck right into his face. Frustrated by the humans' continued interference and content with what he has learned, Soundwave departs to resume his [[Spotlight: Soundwave|true mission]] on Earth, but his exit brings the pyramid crashing down around the Adventure Team. They are saved by Atomic Man, whose newly-empowered limbs somehow project an energy field that catches all the debris.''

Ruby wraps up his story, lamenting that it marked the beginning of the end for the Adventure Team, as the world only began to get stranger, full of threats that ordinary guys like Colton, Mayhem, and Stalker were not equipped to deal with like he and Atomic Man were. As Ruby is called back in front of the camera, Blackrock maps out the group's next move, detailing how Kreiger went on to establish the [[I.R.O.N. Army|International Robotic Operations Network]] corporation, only to subsequently vanish. His company was then taken over by [[Iron Klaw|Count von Rani]], the ruler of Kalistan, who recently appointed former head of [[Cobra]], [[Tomax and Xamot|Tomax Paoli]], as its current interim CEO.

As such, it's no surprise that [[Baron Ironblood]] and [[Doctor X]] are paying a visit to Tomax to warn him that the heroes will soon be closing in on him, and to urge him to take up the mantle of [[Cobra Commander]]. Tomax is not interested in their help... until their newest, most unexpected ally speaks up: a steampunk [[Transformer]] wearing an [[Autobot]] insignia!

'''The Council discusses what to do about the growing combiner threat'''

==Synopsis==
On Cybertron, the [[Council of Worlds|Council]], composed of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], [[Hot Rod|Rodimus Prime]], and the [[Mistress of Flame]], meet to discuss recent events. Starscream insists that everyone must remain calm, however, Rodimus and the Mistress of Flame call for action. Rodimus suggests using the [[Enigma of Combination]] to create more combiners as a means of defense, however the idea is shot down for fear of reigniting a war long dead.

The Mistress of Flame suggests wiping out the combiners, however Starscream argues that would be genocide, as Combiners are still Autobots and Decepticons, but given Starscream's past his argument falls on deaf ears. Meanwhile, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] watches them through a sniper scope.

The Council moves to the Enigma of Combination, hesitant to use it. Windblade attempts to destroy the Enigma with a single shot, but someone grabs her gun as she fires, throwing off her aim and causing the stray shot to hit Starscream. The Council takes this as an attack and sounds the alarm.

As Windblade gets back on her feet, she turns to see who had stopped her from destroying the Enigma: [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].

*Rodimus Prime's design, however, is based on his ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' [[Hot_Rod/toys#Masterpiece|MP-9 Rodimus Convoy]] toy (as evidenced by the seams that split across his torso flames), but with his younger "Hot Rod" face instead of his wrinkled "Rodimus Prime" face.

[[File:Generations 2015 Toyline logo.png|thumb|upright=0.8|Insignia-like logo used on packaging for late 2014-onward Generations toys, in combination with the [[:File:Transformers 2014 logo.png|new generic ''Transformers'' logo]].]]

'''''Transformers: Generations''''' is a line of figures launched in 2010. Like the earlier 2006 ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' and 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'']] lines, along with much of the 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] line, it aims to recreate older ''Transformers'' characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand. The line lapsed after the end of 2011, but was relaunched in mid-2012 and has run continuously ever since.

The ''Generations'' line can be divided into three "eras", each of which saw a new logo, new packaging designs, and new product assortment numbers.

==Original line (2010–2011)==
{{anchor|2010-11}}
The initial ''Generations'' line featured only [[Size class|Deluxe Class]] toys, and included both characters from the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' video game, and “modernised G1” figures in the spirit of the previous ''Classics'' and ''Universe'' toylines. In a first for the franchise, the [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] toy and its [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] [[retool]] were based directly on designs created by [[Guido Guidi]] for [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW's Generation 1 comic universe]]. The earlier waves of figures sported advertising for [[Hub Network|The Hub]] or ''War for Cybertron''.

===Asian market exclusives ("GDO")===

[[File:Transformers china hot spot.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Voyager Class "Protectobot Hot Spot", ''not'' named "Hot Zone" unlike previous toys.]]

In mid-2012, Hasbro's Asian division released a variety of [[redeco]]s and [[retool]]s in their markets such as China, Singapore and the Philippines. This lineup, which featured the same general packaging design as the 2010–2011 figures, introduced the first non-Deluxe toys in the line (as ''Generations'' had been limited to the Deluxe price point up to that point). Western online retailers referred to these figures under the mysterious term "GDO" (which was later revealed to be an abbreviation for "Global Development Organization"<ref name="gdo">[http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/637547-i-found-out-what-gdo-means.html TFW2005 thread] containing an answer by Hasbro's customer service regarding the meaning of the term "GDO".</ref>).

Hasbro's United States and Canadian divisions later decided to release all these figures in North America as well, as a ''massive'' batch of [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusives for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Strangely, while the Asian market versions were released in standard English-only packaging, the versions available in the United States and Canada came in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese packaging. Also, the Deluxes came packaged in their [[alternate mode]]s, whereas the Asian versions were packaged in [[robot mode]].

After a six-month hiatus, the ''Generations'' line was relaunched mid-2012, starting out the ''[[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]]'' toyline with eight Deluxe Class figures. The line continued into 2013, with Legends and Voyager Classes being introduced too. Unlike the previous [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], now absorbed into ''[[Cyberverse]]'' under the name 'Legion Class', these new products consisted of two-packs of [[data disc]] [[Deployer (WFC)|Deployer]] figures designed to interact with the Voyager Class [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] mold.

{{anchor|Thrilling 30}}
[[File:Thrilling30.png|upright=1.0|center]]
{{-}}
In mid-2013, ''Generations'' was rebranded to become part of Hasbro's ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' anniversary campaign, which saw the line return to the ''Classics''/''Universe''-style updates of older characters. This refresh was notable for introducing close ties with [[IDW Publishing]]'s ''Transformers'' material – many toys were based on designs from comics, and every Deluxe figure was packaged with a comic issue. The format of Legends Class was also changed, now including a vaguely ''Cyberverse'' Commander-sized figure with a smaller, triple-changing partner. ''Thrilling 30'' saw two new size classes introduced to the line – 2013 featured the huge Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]] figure, whilst 2014 debuted Leader Class with [[Jetfire (G1)#Generations|Jetfire]].

For 2013, toys featured packaging art by [[Clayton Crain]] and the Deluxe pack-in comics were ''[[The Transformers: Spotlight|Spotlight]]'' issues. Continuing into 2014, the included issues tied into the "[[Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron]]" story and [[Phil Jimenez]], who helped plan and draw that event, took over package art duties.

[[File:Combiner Wars logo.png|600px|center]]{{-}}
For 2015, the line was given another [[subline imprint]] titled ''Combiner Wars'', which saw Deluxe, Voyager and some Legends figures able to form [[combiner]] robots. The format for Legends Class was changed once again, dropping the small partner figures of the ''Thrilling 30'' line.

The packaging of IDW comic books with US Deluxes continued, whilst Legends, Voyagers and non-US Deluxes gained collector cards featuring art from the ''[[Transformers Legends (mobile game)|Transformers Legends]]'' mobile game. However, due to production schedule problems,<ref>[http://bwtf.com/events/toyfair2015/interview-part1 Interview with Jerry Jivoin at BWTF.com]</ref> Deluxe wave 1's initial U.S. release featured the collector cards. Along with the concurrently released ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line, ''Combiner Wars'' also heralded the return of [[multilingual packaging]] to the United States market, now in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The sole exception to this was the Deluxe figures packaged with comic books, which retained monolingual packaging.

===''Titans Return'' (2016–)===
{{anchor|Titans Return}}
Mid-2016 introduced a new imprint and line-wide gimmick: all Deluxe, Voyager and Leader class figures all include a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner. Additionally, a new Titan Master assortment was introduced, each including a single Titan Master, plus a small vehicle or beast. These can transform into a vehicle/beast for the Titan Master to ride, a second vehicle/beast formed by ''combining'' with the Titan Master, and a [[5mm post|5mm]] weapon for a larger figure to wield. Legends Class figures are predominantly [[Mini-Cassette]] characters, and can transform into both a vehicle and a blocky PDA that can fit inside Leader Class figures such as [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]].

Voting for the second Titan Class figure was conducted via Facebook, with fans choosing between a remake of [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], or [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/926169094119952/?type=3&permPage=1 November 24 2016 photo]</ref> Trypticon won.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/transformers/photos/a.153259298077606.36631.146805978722938/931380200265508/?type=3 There truly is nothing that can stand in the way of Trypticon. With your votes, he smashed his way to becoming the next Generations Titans Return Titan Class toy. Mark your calendars, and look for him to hit shelves late 2017.]</ref>

==="GDO" Cyber Series figures===
Three years after a large batch of redecos and retools had been created for Hasbro's Asian markets (with North American Toys"R"Us branches later picking them up as exclusives), Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") division was given a budget to design entirely new toys. Taking a cue from the [[tail-ender|tail-end]] ''[[Beast Hunters]]'' Deluxe and Voyager Class figures (with the Deluxes having ended up being available only in international markets such as Asia and Europe not by design but by circumstance), most of these figures were based on smaller figures from the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|Transformers: Prime]]'' ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Legion Class, ''Generations'' Thrilling 30 Legends Class and [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|2015 ''Robots in Disguise'']] Legion Class ranges, with the designs upsized to roughly Deluxe or Voyager size, keeping the engineering mostly unchanged. These figures were not only released in Hasbro's Asian markets in 2015, but also in Latin American markets.

===Platinum Edition===
{{main|Transformers: Platinum Edition#Generations}}

==Japan==
[[TakaraTomy]] initially had ''[[Transformers United]]'' as their counterpart to the first phase of the ''Generations'' line. In 2012, with the revival of the Hasbro ''Generations'' line, TakaraTomy decided to use the same name for their successor to the ''United'' toyline. Similarly to ''United'', many of the figures have been given "premium" paint jobs, being coated in shiny paint and featuring numerous additional paint details. Japanese ''Generations'' ended roughly halfway through the Hasbro's ''Thrilling 30'' assortment, and subsequent ''Generations'' molds were released in Japan under a new banner, ''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)|Transformers Legends]]''. The "Combiner Wars" toys were released under the [[Transformers Unite Warriors|''Unite Warriors'']] toy line, which featured five-packs of the ''Combiner Wars'' combiner teams. Sling, Wildrider, and Groove (redecos of Hasbro's Quickslinger and Brake-Neck and an original mold, respectively) are included instead of Alpha Bravo, Offroad, and Rook, and Blast Off was similarly replaced with a new mold. The deco on ''Unite Warriors'' toys focuses primarily on [[show-accuracy|accuracy to the ''Generaton 1'' cartoon]] compared to Hasbro's more G1 toy-accurate approach. Also, every Legends mold released between Skrapnel and Groove was redecoed, retooled to have a circular sticker indent, and drafted into the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Adventure Series|''Adventure Series'']] toy line. Starting from Shockwave, they came back in the ''Legends'' toy line.

==Notes==
[[File:TF2010 deluxe SpecialOpsJazz.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85||[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|I don't belong here,]] bitches!]]
*During 2010, clicking "War for Cybertron Toys" on Hasbro's ''War For Cybertron'' web page actually brought up the whole ''Generations'' toy line. Looking for ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (franchise)|War for Cybertron]]'' toys? Here you go.
*Since the toys released during the first phase of the ''Generations'' toy line were all Deluxe-sized, the difficulty level bar on the front side of the packaging (which indicates how hard it is to convert a toy from mode to mode) denoted each individual toy's challenge level (Cybertronian Bumblebee, for example, is a Level 4, while Thrust is a Level 2).
*The plastic-coated wire twist-ties, which were normally used to secure a toy in its packaging in past toylines, have been replaced with rattan tie-downs. The paper-based tie-downs are also used in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] toy line and subsequent toy lines until being replaced by sock ties near the middle of 2014. The tyranny of twist-ties has mercifully never sullied these toys.
*The 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line, particularly the ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'' [[subline imprint]], contains several toys with a design aesthetic similar to the Generations line. This led to confusion when fan expectations were contradicted by official Hasbro announcements. Subsequently, Hasbro released [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Generations|Wheeljack]], a [[retool]] of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Tracks (G1)|Turbo Tracks]], and [[Junkyard (G1)#Generations|Junkheap]], a retool of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Wreck-Gar]], under the ''Generations'' banner, later followed by ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]''-inspired redecos of ''Reveal the Shield'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Special Ops Jazz]] released as part of the "Ultimate Gift Set" and the Asian market/[[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive [[Wheelie (G1)#Generations|Wheelie]] redeco/retool of Special Ops Jazz, all of them also in ''Generations'' packaging, thus further strengthening the ties between the two lines.
[[File:CW HufferBlackjack.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.1]]
*Most of the 2010–2011 ''Generations'' toys (along with several from the 2010 ''Transformers'' toy line) were released by [[TakaraTomy]] in their ''[[Transformers United]]'' toyline. The toys representing [[character]]s who appeared in the video game ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (games)|War for Cybertron]]'' (which is part of the [[Aligned continuity family]]) were released as their [[Generation 1 continuity family]] counterparts in Japan. The waves from 2012 and onward were released under the ''Generations'' banner in Japan as well.
*As the toy list in the article above shows, the 2012-onwards figures were numbered in sequence for each [[size class]] assortment separately. However, the [[Combaticon (WFC)|Combaticon]] and [[Wrecker]] combiner teams were also ''additionally'' numbered as members of their respective teams, and the sequences for those two separate sets of numbers are completely inconsistent with each other: For the Combaticons, team members 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #004, #008, #006, #005, and #007, respectively; and for the Wreckers, team members 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 correspond with Deluxe Class Series 1 figures #014, #016, #018, #017, and #015, respectively. The only consistent system is that each sculpt is given the same number as a team member between both sets.
*In a frankly inexplicable turn of events, the existence of Huffer and the name of Blackjack in the ''Combiner Wars'' subline imprint were first revealed by a [[stock photography|stock photo]] of Menasor released during [[San Diego Comic-Con]] [[2014]]. What appeared to be a plain white background was, with color correction, revealed as a {{w|Mac OS}} screenshot displaying filenames for those two characters. Blackjack could easily be identified as the unnamed black-and-purple car revealed at SDCC, whilst Huffer's toy was later announced at [[New York Comic Con]].
*The limb robots substituted out of ''Combiner Wars'' Superion, Menasor, and Defensor, namely [[Slingshot (G1)|Slingshot]], [[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]], and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]], also happen to be the same members whose ''[[Kre-O]]'' incarnations were sold separately from their teams. Coincidence? Probably.
*No wave 2 products of any [[size class]]es of ''Combiner Wars'' were ever released in any European markets, with the sole exception of Legends Class Blackjack, who was eventually released as part of a revision of wave 4. Even Motormaster, who was re-released as part of wave 4 of the Voyager Class assortment alongside Battle Core Optimus Prime, was omitted from then European wave 4 case assortment in favor of (presumably) Hot Spot.

Hook, Line, and Sinker

{{factions|unicron}}
{{disambig3|Hook}}
:''Hook, Line, and Sinker are servants of [[Unicron]] from the [[Marvel Comics continuity|Marvel portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Hooklineandsinker.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Scourge got off easy, as far as names go.]]
'''Hook''', '''Line''', and '''Sinker''' are a trio in a long line of Unicron's minions.

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
They were originally low-life criminals from the planet [[Ghennix]]. When Ghennix was destroyed by [[Unicron]], the criminals attempted to flee in a small spaceship, but Unicron prevented their escape.

Instead of killing the criminals, Unicron reformatted them into three powerful assassins, whom he named Hook, Line, and Sinker. Each was given new weapons: Hook has a hook on one of his hands and a harpoon on the other, Line carries a sword and a net, and Sinker has two massive steel balls at the end of his arms. {{storylink|All Fall Down}}

Hook, Line, and Sinker's first mission was to fetch [[Galvatron II|Galvatron from an alternate timeline]], where the [[Decepticon]]s had defeated the [[Autobot]]s circa [[2009]]. Galvatron was leading the [[Pretender Monster]]s onto a final victory march into [[New York City]], when Hook, Line, and Sinker captured him and brought him to Unicron's timeline, circa [[1991]]. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}} {{storylink|The Human Factor!}}

They attended to the furious Galvatron as he was brought before Unicron. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm}} Unicron intended Galvatron to serve as his chief assassin and Hook, Line, and Sinker to serve as Galvatron's aides. The four powerful creations assaulted [[Autobase]]. {{storylink|Surrender!}} But, when Galvatron met [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]] deep under the surface of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he rebelled against Unicron and (at least apparently) sided with Xaaron instead. Through a psychic link, Unicron was immediately aware of this treachery, and sent Hook, Line, and Sinker to kill Galvatron. They failed, and Galvatron destroyed Line and Sinker instead. Hook was killed by a [[Primus]]-possessed Emirate Xaaron shortly after. {{storylink|Out of Time!}}

==Notes==
*Although Hook, Line, and Sinker have never been represented as toys ''per se'', the Club exclusive toy representing [[Astrotrain (Cybertron)|Astrotrain]] from the Unicron Trilogy includes three Mini-Cons named [[Astro-Hook]], [[Astro-Line]] and [[Astro-Sinker]]. However they do not have any apparent connection to Unicron, or at least not more than any other Mini-Con.
*It is intriguing that Unicron should choose a quaint Earth saying as the basis for three of his most dreaded heralds.

*[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]
*[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]

Additionally, three rather different figures were available through other promotions. These three "Foodstrap" figures (so called due to the dangling strap attached to each used to hang them off other things) depicted ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]'' characters popping out of items of McDonald's food via spring-loaded push-button triggers. They included:

*Burger Transformer ([[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys|Optimus Prime]])

*Potato Transformer ([[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys|Bumblebee]])

Bumblebee was available only as a mailaway exclusive in the September issue of ''TV Boy Magazine'', with the other two were claimed by redeeming a coupon obtained with purchase of a Happy Meal at participating retailers.

==2011 Dark of the Moon Burger King promotion==

*[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] (Rotating the figure at the waist causes the left arm to swing up and down.)

*[[Bumblebee (WFC)|Bumblebee]] (Squeezing the figure's legs together causes his right arm to swivel up and down, swinging the included sword.)
*[[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] (Pressing the yellow fin on the figure's back lights up and then fires the spring-loaded missile from his mouth.)
*[[Sideswipe (WFC)|Sideswipe]] (Repeatedly pressing the button on the figure's back rapidly spins his handheld Energon blades.)
*[[Fixit (RID)|Fixit]] (Rolling the figure forward causes his hands, one of them a drill, to spin.)
*[[Clampdown (RID)|Clampdown]] (Pressing the button on his left arm launches his claw, which closes when the button inside hits something or is pressed.)
*[[Fracture (RID)|Fracture]] (The figure's shoulder-mounted cannon lights up.)

Additionally, three rather different figures were available through other promotions.

[[File:Mcdonalds prime foodstraps.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]
In 2011, McDonald's stores in Japan offered two non-transforming figures as a promotional tie-in with the release of ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (franchise)|Dark of the Moon]]'', feature proximity-triggered electronic sound and light gimmicks:

*[[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]]
*[[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys|Bumblebee]]

Additionally, three rather different figures were available through other promotions. These three "Foodstrap" figures (so called due to the dangling strap attached to each used to hang them off other things) depicted ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Transformers: Prime]]'' characters popping out of items of McDonald's food via spring-loaded push-button triggers. They included:

*Burger Transformer ([[Optimus Prime (WFC)/toys|Optimus Prime]])
*Shake Transformer ([[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]])
*Potato Transformer ([[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys|Bumblebee]])

Bumblebee was available only as a mailaway exclusive in the September issue of ''TV Boy Magazine'', with the other two were claimed by redeeming a coupon obtained with purchase of a Happy Meal at participating retailers. Bafflingly, these three figures could interact with the new trailer released with the ''[[Transformers Chronicle|Chronicle]]'' Optimus Prime set, which included moulded spaces specially designed to accommodate them in its floor.
