As you might guess from the name, '''Overkill''' is all about excess. Sometimes this works to his advantage, such as when his endless tirades and theatrics distract his foes in combat. Sometimes excess works to his disadvantage, such as when he gets so caught up in showing off that he becomes distracted in combat. And sometimes it just makes him look silly, swinging and blasting at a fallen foe long after the fight has ended.

Though he talks a better game than he fights, Overkill's dinosaur mode is strong enough to be a decent threat... except when the circuits that control his size-change from cassette to dinosaur malfunction (as they are wont to do) and he finds himself stuck as an audiotape-sized dino. Awwww!

:''Preliminary name:'' '''Gouge'''
:''French-Canadian name'': '''Mâchoire''' ("Jaw")

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
====Madman ''The Transformers'' comic====
[[Image:Madman comic Soundwave ejects tapes.jpg|left|200px|thumb|]]
In the year 2001, Overkill, along with [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]], [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]], [[Beastbox]], and [[Squawktalk]], were dispatched by [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] to locate the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] had buried somewhere at the construction site of [[Autobot City]], prior to the mass Autobot evacuation of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Slugfest had to explain what "excavation" was to the dull witted Beastbox, though [[Squawkbox]] ended up finding the Matrix. However, Slugfest and Squawktalk were then run over by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]]. {{storylink|The Transformers (Madman)|The Transformers}}
{{-}}

====Generation 1 cartoon====
[[Image:CallPrimitivesOverkillSlugfest1.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Oh so crucial to the plot.]]
In 2006, during a battle on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], Overkill was one of the many "primitive" Transformers who answered the call put forth by [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's assistant]] in response to the threat posed by [[Tornedron]]. They were not seen again afterward. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

====''The Headmasters'' comic====
After the Decepticons abandoned Earth, [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundblaster]] remained behind with his cassettes. He jumped the Witwicky family out of nowhere, and had Overkill and [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]] keep them hostage while he taunted their protector, [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]]. While his back was turned, though, Overkill and Slugfest were overwhelmed and defeated by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]].

''Daniel Witwicky.'' {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 8|The Headmasters #8}}

===''G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers''===
As part of [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]]'s Decepticon forces, Overkill attempted to prevent a group of Autobots and [[G.I. Joe (team)|Joes]] from escaping Decepticon headquarters. While trying to devour [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)|Hawk]], he bragged about his future girl-bot harem and let slip that Serpent O.R. had captured [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], only to be violently blinded by [[Snake-Eyes]]. Despite his claims that he didn't need his eyes anyway, Overkill fell to the ground unconscious. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}}

===Custom Class bio===
In a gambit to counter a string of humiliating defeats by Grimlock, Overkill's leader had this new body built for Overkill. Overkill's chronic failure to grow larger in robot mode had become a permanent condition, sidelining him from the battlefield. This new body carries an armored interface housing in its chest allowing Overkill to be inserted in cassette mode, effectively overcoming his disability.<ref>This information is summarized from the [[BotCon 2007]] Custom Class booklet.</ref>

===Special Edition bio===
Overkill reinstalled his [[Circuits#Brain_circuits|cerebro-circuitry]] into a larger, more dangerous body. Doing so released him from his status as a partner and slave to Soundwave. He is now free to indulge in his destructive whims.

{{note|Curiously, despite his bio describing him as larger and more dangerous, his [[tech specs]] remain unchanged from his mini-cassette form. His Fireblast even lost half a point.}}

===Marvel comics continuity===
====''Classics''====
[[Image:AtFightsEnd-OverkillDragstripAcidStorm.jpg|left|thumb|250px|My first in-fiction Marvel continuity appearance!]]
After the war officially ended on [[Klo]], Overkill was one of the handful of [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]]'s Decepticons who scattered to the far corners of the universe. He, [[Drag Strip]], and [[Acid Storm]] were waiting on a dusty planet when [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]'s rogue team of Autobots attempted to hunt them down. {{storylink|At Fight's End}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:Overkillg1toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|That's one horny T. rex.]]
*'''Slugfest and Overkill''' (Mini-Cassettes, 1987)
**''Accessories'': Left & right "motion missile" pods

: Overkill was only available with his partner, [[Slugfest (G1)|Slugfest]], and transforms from a blue and white microcassette into what his cardback bio calls a "Tyrannosaurus" (the actual toy more resembles a [[Wikipedia:Ceratosaur|ceratosaur]], with a prominent nose-horn ''T. rex'' lacks.). He has two non-firing chromed "motion missile" weapons which attach to his robot-dino mode.

* '''Overkill''' (Cassettron, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-109'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right "motion missile" pods

: In Japan, Overkill was available only by himself. Like all Japanese releases of the cassettes, he also came with a clear-plastic "tape case" to store in.

:Relased as part of the Takara's Transformers Encore line, packaged with Rumble, Frenzy, and Lazerbeak, which include the tape cases.

===Timelines===
[[Image:Timelinestoy-Overkill.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Me Grimlo--er, me Overkill, not kisser!]]
*'''Overkill''' (BotCon 2007 customization class)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile, tail-flail

: This [[repaint]] of ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Classics|Grimlock]] was only available in the customization class at [[BotCon 2007]]. Parts were provided (cast in the original toy's colors), but the individuals taking the class had to assemble and paint the toy.

: The toy transforms from robot mode to a mechanical ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. His bayonet blaster can be deployed in either mode and fires a clear projectile. Both weapons can be stored on his back when not used. His beast mode tail becomes a hand-held flail weapon in robot mode.

{{-}}

===Universe (2008)===
[[Image:Universeoverkill.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Juicy-Fruit Overkill. Now in Spearmint flavours.]]
*'''Overkill''' ("Special Edition" Deluxe, 2008)
**''Accessories'': Missile launcher, missile, tail-flail

:''Classics'' Grimlock was once again used as the base to make the [[Universe (2008 toyline)|2008 ''Universe'']] "Special Edition" version of Overkill. Unlike the BotCon customization class version above, this toy is actually cast in white and aqua plastics. He retains all of his previous [[gimmick]]s. Like the other "Special Edition" figures, Overkill comes in a black book box-style packaging with monochrome art.

:Though an Asia/Australian [[exclusive]], Overkill is available for purchase in the United States via [[Hasbro Toy Shop]].
{{-}}

===Device Label===
[[Image:DeviceLabel-Overkill.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Surprised they didn't do Grimlock instea—oh wait.]]
*'''Overkill''' (Device Label, 2009)
:Overkill would have transformed from a working USB laser mouse into a light grey and blue mechanoid raptor, but an early BigBadToyStore solicitation for him was almost immediately supplanted by a solicitation for [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]], once better information was had.

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Onslaught is a [[Redeco]] of ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Barricade (Energon)|Barricade]], transforming into an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier with a rear-mounted (non-firing) missile rack that turns and elevates. He was available with the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Bruticus Maximus giftset, and when combined with the other Combaticons, Onslaught forms the torso. Every Onslaught also has a paint error on the right robot knee, in that there is no paint around the hole immediately below the knee, where there ''is'' paint on the left one. This error is also evident in the box photos for the individual robot mode, but not the combined mode, curiously. ONSLT and C5 are tampographed on the hood of Onslaught's vehicle mode

:He was also [[retool]]ed into ''[[Timelines (fiction)|Timelines]]'' [[Heatwave]] and is indistinguishable from ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' (2008) [[Onslaught (G1)|Onslaught]], including the paint error.

'''Toys"R"Us''', spelled "ToysЯUs" with a reversed "Я" in the official company logo (previously Toys"Я"Us), is one of the world's biggest toy retailer chains, based in the [[United States]] but with branches in many other countries.

Over the years, they have carried a lot of [[exclusive]] ''Transformers'' [[toy]]s, in addition to the regular mass retail releases. Many of those exclusives have not only been carried by US retailers, but also by international Toys"R"Us branches.

[[Japan]] also has its own Toys"R"Us branch, which has its own exclusive toys from [[Takara]], independent of the toys [[Hasbro]] provides Western Toys"R"Us stores with.

==Trivia==
* Toys"R"Us was also supposed to carry a [[redeco]] of ''[[Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] done up as a ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]]'' [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] homage that would have been released as a ''[[Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' toy named [[Spacewarp]], together with redecos of the ''Armada'' [[Space Mini-Con Team]]. Ultimately, however, Toys"R"Us backed out of the deal, and Spacewarp was never released. While the Space Team redecos remain unreleased to this very day ([[Takara]] claims that the [[mold]]s have become unusable), the planned Spacewarp deco was later used as the basis for the [[Transformers Collectors' Club|Collectors' Club]] exclusive [[Astrotrain (Timelines)|Astrotrain]] redeco of ''Armada'' Jetfire, with a new head sculpt.

Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys

2009-07-26T19:38:05Z

Timmantha: /* Leader Class toys */

'''[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]]''' starred in a movie that made millions of dollars. Woohoo!

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
As a tribute to his immense popularity, Optimus Prime is the only ''Movie'' Transformer with a toy in every regular category (Legend, Fast Action, Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader.) This is excluding his Cyber Stomper and transformable gun toys.

====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Legends Prime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Shortening the smokestacks is good; [[For safety reasons|it makes the toy safer]]. But removing ONE and keeping the other? Crazy.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2007)
**''Japanese name:'' '''EZ Collection Optimus Prime'''

: Legends class Optimus Prime is an ''extremely'' simplified toy of the extremely complex movie design. As such, he features numerous unavoidable inaccuracies, such as not transforming or even looking very much like the original design or the larger toy versions in robot mode. However, proportionally Legends class Optimus Prime is not far off from the real truck and the Leader class toy's vehicle mode, aside from missing a smokestack on the driver's side. He is articulated at the shoulders and upper legs via [[Ball joint|ball joints]].

{{-}}
[[Image:TargetGenerationsLegends.jpg|right|thumb|150px|"Say, have we met?" "No, I'm not from around here." "I can tell. You look ''way'' more realistic than I do."]]
*'''Generations Legends''' (Target exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Target exclusive, this four-pack of Legends Class figures contains two versions of both Optimus Prime and Megatron, namely [[Optimus Prime (Armada) toys|Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime]], Movie Legends Optimus Prime, [[Megatron (Armada) toys|Legends of Cybertron Megatron]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Movie Legends Megatron]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Allspark Legends pack.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Get ready for the safety recall, folks.]]
*'''Battle for the Allspark''' (Toys'R'Us exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

: A Toys'R'Us exclusive, this six-pack of Legends class figures contains unmodified toys of Optimus Prime, [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Bumblebee (Movie) toys|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

{{-}}
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime vs. Stealth Starscream''' (Legends Allspark Battles two-pack, 2008)

: The previously-released Legends Class Optimus Prime toy is redecoed to match the Leader class Nightwatch Optimus Prime deco. He comes with a predominantly black and silver redeco of [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].
{{-}}

====Deluxe Class toys====
[[Image:Movie ProtoformOptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Until I find my feet, I have to use these giant robot hands.]]
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime''' (Deluxe Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-05'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun with flame attachment

:Based upon the "[[Protoform]]" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the Movie, Protoform Optimus Prime transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides, and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO [[Automorph|automorph]] gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.

:In robot mode he resembles previous Optimus characters: his angular chest windows are reminiscent of ''[[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Optimus Primal]]. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.

:Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth. While an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble says "Exclusive movie poster!", it is more of a preview of upcoming figures.

{{-}}
*'''Protoform Optimus Prime Fusion Cluster Edition''' (C3xHobby Convention exclusive Deluxe, Japan 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Gun with missile and flame attachment

:An extensive redeco of the Protoform Optimus Prime mold that was exclusively available at the Japanese C3xHobby Convention in August of 2007, and later offered by [[E-Hobby|e-Hobby]] in limited quantities. Most of the body is made out of transparent turquoise plastic in order to mimic its frozen state in the "coldness" of space, while orange paint is used on the front end of the "entry" mode, mimicking the heat effects of sudden atmospheric entry. The flame attachment is made out of clear ''blue'' plastic, with the tail end being covered in ''gold'' paint.

{{-}}
*'''Deluxe three-pack''' (multi-pack, UK 2007)

:This three-pack, which was available at general retail in the United Kingdom, contains an unchanged Deluxe Class Protoform Optimus Prime together with equally unchanged Deluxe Class [[Brawl (Movie)|Decepticon Brawl]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] toys.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The last one of you out of here gets a...gets a lead salad!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-13'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:The mid-range Voyager class ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy transforms into an amalgamation of the Kenworth W900 and the Peterbilt 379, making this toy fairly inaccurate to the actual vehicle Optimus Prime turned into. Because of the smaller size and lessened complexity, the Voyager class Optimus Prime features a significantly different transformation sequence compared to the Leader class toy, and indeed, the actual CGI design. However, as the actual truck cabin no longer forms his chest, the cabin now features a small interior with opening doors and a non-removable cowboy-hat-bedecked driver figurine that flips out of the seat when the driver's side door is opened.

: In robot mode, Voyager class Optimus Prime is proportionally more accurate to his CGI design than the leader class toy and has a more accurate headsculpt. However, due to the aforementioned lessened complexity, significant sacrifices had to be made, such as "cheats" to the transformation sequence to achieve this. He is thus less accurate overall than he initially appears. In addition to previously mentioned changes, he carries much of the truck's front hood, grill and fenders on his back like a backpack. Nevertheless, he maintains a superb level of articulation and posability.

: Optimus Prime is armed with two large rifles formed out of a combination of both smokestacks and fuel tanks. These rifles peg into his lower arms with grips for his open hands. The under-slung fuel tanks can fire spring-loaded projectiles. In vehicle mode, both smokestack rifles can be deployed as twin cannons, and this mechanism can also be used to store the rifles and deploy them as shoulder guns in robot mode.

[[Image:Movie Robovision OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|We'd hate to see what those smokestacks looked like BEFORE Hasbro shortened them.]]
*'''Robo-Vision Optimus Prime''' (Voyager, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A Target-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, this limited edition version boasts a "Supermetal finish", resulting in silver metallic paint covering much of his paintable gray/silver plastic, a much higher contrast in his red and blue plastic colors and improved 'flame' paint decorations.

: Unusually for the smaller Voyager Class of toys, [[Robo-Vision]] Optimus Prime comes packed in robot mode in a special hexagonal column box with many windows, similar to the original packaging for ''20th Anniversary'' Optimus Prime. The package also includes a [[Robo-Vision Decoder]]. Strangely, this Target exclusive preceded the release of the regular Voyager by a large margin, coming out on [[June 2]], 2007 with the initial wave of movie toys.

:This toy has been retroactively declared part of the ''Premium Series'' of more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] redecos of core characters from the movie.

{{-}}
*'''Bumblebee and Optimus Prime''' (Argos exclusive two-pack, UK 2007)

:A two-pack, exclusiveliy available at Argos stores in the United Kingdom, which contains an unchanged Voyager Class Optimus Prime and an equally unchanged Deluxe Class Concept Camaro [[Bumblebee (Movie) toys|Bumblebee]].

{{-}}
*'''Battle damage three-pack''' (Sam's Club exclusive three-pack, 2007)

:A three-pack, exclusive to Sam's Club stores, consisting of redecos of Voyager Class Optimus Prime and Deluxe Class [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]], both with a battle damage deco, and an unchanged Voyager Class [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]].

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Voyager Firststrike OptimusPrime.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Think the [[Geewun|Geewunners]] will shut up now?]]
*'''First Strike Optimus Prime''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: Released as part of the ''Allspark Power'' refresh of the movie line, First Strike Optimus Prime is a extensive redeco of Voyager class Optimus Prime in a colour scheme based upon ''Generation 1'' and ''Classics'' Optimus Prime. The included toy bio describes this coloring as Prime paying tribute to the markings he wore as a young soldier when the war began. Due to the transformation scheme, this figure actually ends up being ''less'' like its G1 counterpart in robot mode, a sacrifice made for the slavish redeco of the vehicle mode. You can't have your cake and eat it too, folks.

{{-}}
*'''Autobot Optimus Prime''' ("international market" exclusive Voyager-sized toy, 2008)

:A single-packed version of the battle damaged Voyager Optimus Prime toy from the Sam's Club exclusive three-pack. Although the assortment number and the general packaging style seemed to indicate that this might be a Best Buy exclusive, this has been confirmed to be an "international market" exclusive. It has been released in Asia, but will presumably not be available in the USA outside the Sam's Club three-pack.

{{-}}
*'''Freeway Brawl Optimus Prime (Two-Pack)''' ("Screen Battles" Voyager, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

: A second Target-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] repaint of the Voyager Class Optimus Prime toy, the grey molded pieces now are beige-grey and multiple parts that previously molded blue and red (the chest, shoulder pads, and leg interiors) had their mold colors swapped with extra [[Paint operation|paint applications]] to make up the difference. As such, the toy has very few visual differences from the regular release of the mold. This version was only available in a pack with an unchanged Deluxe Class [[Bonecrusher (Movie)|Bonecrusher]].

{{-}}
====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:MovieLeader OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Y'think Prime got a makeover? We have it on good authority that Movie [[Roller]] is a kicked-out low-rider with a jammin' sound system and neon-purple undercarriage lighting.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The largest ''Movie'' Optimus Prime toy, Leader Class Optimus Prime featured, at the time, the most accurate representation of the CGI designs' complex transformation sequence. He transforms into a heavily-customized [http://www.peterbilt.com/index_gal_mod_desc.asp?model=model379 Peterbilt 379] conventional extended-hood, and unusually for a mainline figure, he has rubber tires on all his wheels. His Ion Blaster weapon is stored in the rear of the truck's bunk, exposed like an engine block. Though Optimus has no trailer, he has a hole where the fifth wheel (known among fans as a 'hitch') is sculpted in the rear of the truck, should owners find a suitable trailer to use. Due to [[For safety reasons|safety reasons]], the tips of his long smokestacks are made of rubber. A switch on top of the cab roof activates horn sounds and window lights.

: Featuring a complex transformation, essentially the front and back ends of the truck fold and converge to become Optimus Prime's legs, as much of the truck rear is connected to the robot thighs via a series of folding panels. The rear wheel cowlings feature a hinge joint in the middle of them so they do not impede his knee articulation. The halves of the rear cabin of the cab, directly connected to the smokestacks, rotate and connect to his torso and unfold into his arms. As with most mainline Movie toys, Optimus Prime features [[Automorph]] gimmicks, and due to his price point, he has three of them. Firstly, during initial transformation, rotating his front fenders to become his heels flips the top parts of the grill to become his toes. Secondly, sliding out the double-barrel cannon in his right forearm flips out his spring-loaded Ion Blaster, which lands into place for his right hand. (The Ion Blaster can actually be popped off his forearm fairly easily, as it is held in place by a simple clip.) Optimus's final Automorph, located in his torso, is activated by flipping the silver lever on his stomach, activating a series of spring-loaded actions where the truck windows are pushed apart and the lever between them is raised, enabling the head to spring up from the chest cavity. At this point, yellow LEDs light up the chest windows and Optimus Prime's eyes, accompanied by a "powering up" sound effect.

: Optimus Prime has a wide range of articulation for a relatively bulky figure. He has ratcheting joints in his shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with swivel joints and ball joints supporting them in his biceps, lower knee joints and ankles. Again, unusually for a mainline figure, especially at the Leader price point, his hands have individually articulated fingers and thumbs.

*'''Optimus Prime bonus pack''' (Costco exclusive multi-pack, 2007)

:A Costco exclusive special pack of Leader Class Optimus Prime with Legends Class [[Bumblebee (Movie) toys|Bumblebee]] and [[Jazz (Movie)|Autobot Jazz]] as bonus figures. All three toys are unchanged from their respective original releases.

[[Image:Movie G4Contest Chrome OptimusPrime.jpg|thumb|250px|Completists, eat your heart out!]]
*'''Chrome Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: Two custom-made pieces (presented in robot and vehicle mode) by the [[Hasbro]] ''Transformers'' team as the grand prize for G4TV and [http://www.jumpcut.com Jumpcut]'s contest for fans to remix selected Transformers clips. Won by [http://www.TFW2005.com/ TFW2005.com] member James Zahn, this one-of-a-kind (well, two-of-a-kind) piece is an almost fully [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] Leader-class Optimus Prime in red, silver and blue (based heavily upon Generation 1 [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]), presented with a custom display base with an embossed silver Autobot insignia and a perspex display case.

:It is certainly one of the rarest Transformers toys ever, and unless you are James, you will never own one.

{{-}}

[[Image:Movie Leader Nightwatch OptimusPrime 2007.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Either this is [[Ultra Magnus (disambiguation)|Ultra Magnus]] or [[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]].]]
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, UK 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The first Nightwatch Optimus Prime is an extensive redeco of the previously released Leader-class Optimus Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black. In fact, he resembles the original [[Diaclone]] Powered Convoy color scheme of ''Generation 1'' [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s truck cab. The previously blue and red flames have been replaced with silver flames, while various other decos have been replaced by copper.

: This version was released in the UK several months before the ''AllSpark Power'' version. Available exclusively through Argos stores, it came in an American-style box with the original Movie packaging design. This version was also released by TakaraTomy in Japan.

{{-}}
[[Image:Movie Leader Nightwatch OptimusPrime 2008.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Ultra Prime or Nemesis Magnus?]]
*'''Nightwatch Optimus Prime''' (Leader Class, USA 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Removable Ion blaster, 1 missile

: The second Nightwatch Optimus Prime was released as part of the "[[AllSpark Power]]" second half of the Movie line. He is similar to the UK version of Nightwatch Prime, replacing most of his red and blue with different shades of blue and black, retaining his resemblance to Diaclone Powered Convoy in most respects. However, the subdued black and copper on the first Nightwatch Prime have been replaced with gold and a ''very'' bright blue, to signify the All Spark energy affecting the Transformers. The translucent parts were also cast in purple translucent plastic instead of black translucent plastic.

: Another difference is that this version comes in an ''AllSpark Power''-style box instead of the original style.

{{-}}
[[Image:Premium movie OP.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Cyclonus (G1)|Bunny-ears]] Prime.]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' ("Premium Series" Leader Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

: The Premium Series Optimus Prime is both a retool and a redeco of the Leader Class Optimus Prime toy. The major selling point is a more movie-accurate head sculpt with longer ears and detailing based on the final CG head design, and a flip-out energy sword to replace the ion blaster that was included with previous versions of the toy. This energy sword is detachable and attaches where the Ion Blaster did, compatible with non-premium Optimus Prime Leader-class-based releases. Because his ears are much longer, the truck roof panel that hides his head now has two holes cut into so the head can fit inside the cabin.

:The paint deco is...unfocused, to say the least. In vehicle mode, the grill, headlights, and bumpers (and thus his feet) are painted silver, yet the red in the small Autobot insignia has been removed. There is silver paint on the fuel tanks (toy battery cover), but not on the other tool boxes and equipment in the same location. There is also silver paint on all 6 wheel rims, the air cleaners and the windscreen visor. In robot mode, the silver paint is mainly located on his thighs and crotch, though in order to save on costs, the dark blue and gold paint on his thighs and knee joints have been sacrificed.

: Unlike the initial ''Premium Series'' toys, this one was available as part of the regular mass retail Leader class assortment.

[[Image:Movie Leader OptimusPrimeBattleMode.jpg|right|250px|thumb|He loves his lips so much, he won't let anyone sculpt them on his toys.]]
*'''Optimus Prime Battle Mode''' (Leader Class, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-21'''
**''Accessories:'' Detachable, Retractable "energy sword"

:The TakaraTomy version of Premium Series Optimus Prime has a considerably different deco from Hasbro's release. Similar to the unique chrome Optimus Prime, Optimus Prime Battle Mode features vacuum-metallized parts for nearly all of the silver truck parts, for a greater resemblance to the polished chrome on the real prop trucks. Unfortunately, as his feet are the front fenders and grill, this will likely lead to chipping. In robot mode, he retains several decos that were removed from Hasbro's Premium Optimus Prime for cost reasons, such as the blue and gold decos on his thighs. Finally, the flip-out energy sword is coloured gold to reflect its "powered up" appearance.

{{-}}

====Fast Action Battlers====
[[Image:Movie FAB OptimusPrime toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|"Okay mommy, me got my backback and big gun thingy. Me go to robot school now?"<br />]]
* '''Power Hook Optimus Prime''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''QC-01'''
**''Accessories:'' 1 Missile

:[[Fast Action Battler]] Power Hook Optimus Prime is a (roughly) Deluxe-class made for children of younger ages than the rest of the mainline and were designed to have quick conversion and action feature. He has a little string attached to his missle that was tied to his "backpack" for easy storage and so the little ones wouldn't lose the missle.

:He is rather inaccurate to Optimus Prime's design.

{{-}}

[[Image:Movie LeaderfortheAges 2pack.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The more things change, the more they, uh, get bigger guns.]]
* '''Leader for the Ages''' (Wal*Mart exclusive two-pack, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 gun, 1 Missile

: This Wal*Mart-[[Exclusive|exclusive]] two-pack contains the ''Fast Action Battler'' Power Hook Optimus Prime toy, designated "2007 Optimus Prime", and the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys|Optimus Prime]] toy from ''The Ultimate Battle'' DVD two-pack. Both toys are identical to their normal individual releases.

: For some reason the ''Classics'' Optimus toy is designated "1984 Optimus Prime" on the packaging, even though it was released in 2006... but, well, he ''looks'' like Prime from '84, so hey, what the hell.

{{-}}
[[Image:Mov2007-toy FAB FireBlastPrime.JPG|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Fire Blast Optimus Prime''' (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' 1 Missile

: Fire Blast Optimus Prime is a [[Redeco|redeco]] of the previously released Power Hook Optimus Prime fast action battler. The color scheme is loosely based upon ''Generation 1'' [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]], explained rather oddly in the card bio as being the camouflage Optimus took while hunting Decepticons on Mars post-movie. ...Because there are so many longnose cabs driving around Mars. Yeah.

{{-}}

====Cyber Slammers toys====
[[Image:Movie_CyberSlammers_Prime_toy.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Slammer, 2007)

: [[Cyber Slammer]]s Optimus Prime is an amazingly cute truck that transforms into an amazingly cute Autobot. "Slam" his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along for a while, then snaps back up into robot mode. Sure to please the toddler you brought with you to the PG-13 movie! Like most Cyber Slammers, Prime manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode.

{{-}}
====Cyber Stompin' Robots====
[[Image:Movie Cyberstompin Prime toy.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Rescue Heroes!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cyber Stompin' Robot, 2007)

:[[Cyber Stompin' Robot|Cyberstompin']] Optimus Prime is a non-convertible action figure made for younger children. He has light-up eyes, sounds, a launching fist feature and a "targeting scope" in his back. The scope worked similarly to a ''View Master'', and when you look through the scope, you see an image of Megatron.

{{-}}

====Robot Replicas====
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Robot Replica, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Ion blaster arm

[[Image:Optimusprimemovierobotreplicas.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Sword attachment arm sadly not included.]]
: As part of the [[Robot Replicas]] line, this version of Optimus is a non-transforming action figure that utilizes [[Revoltech]]-style jointing. The sculpt hews much closer to the movie CGI model than is possible with the full transforming toys, plus the universal jointing of the line allows for his forearm to be replaced with his hand-cannon... or bits from other Robot Replicas.

{{-}}
====Trans-Scanning====
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TS-01'''
**''Accessories:'' Display stand

: [[Trans-scan|Trans-scanning]] Optimus Prime is a Japanese-exclusive figure with many interchangeable parts. At its most basic, the figure is a spindly skeleton referred to as a "Core Body". To this skeleton, two sets of armor pieces can be attached to create one of two forms for Optimus Prime: his [[Protoform|protoform]] mode or his Earth mode.

: The protoform mode consists of eight pieces of metallic blue plastic that plug into the arms, chest, pelvis and legs of the figure. With these pieces attached, the figure can be manipulated in a manner that might charitably be called "transformation" into his meteor-like "entry mode," accomplished by doing little more than tucking the head out of sight and folding the chest back. This blue-and-grey lump can be mounted on a three-piece stand that comes with the figure, allowing you to display it in mid-plummet. Optimus Prime's Earth mode, meanwhile, is made up of many armor pieces (including a particularly large backpack) that form a rather [[Kibble|kibbly]] robot mode, which can then transform into a truck approximating a Peterbilt 379. We would go into what an abominable, unintuitive, parts-massaging ''mess'' this transformation is, but we wouldn't want to fill up the rest of the page.

: Optimus Prime also includes a pair of interchangeable, open-palmed hands that can be swapped out for the clenched fists that are in place in-package. The Core Body mold was re-used for the simultaneously released Trans-Scanning [[Bumblebee (Movie) toys#Trans-Scanning|Bumblebee]] figure.

{{-}}
====Other toys====
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Cake topper, 2007)

: Yes, a cake topper. This toy was only available by purchasing a ''Transformers''-brand cake (or set of 24 cupcakes) with delicious blue-and-red flame-pattern frosting. The toy transforms from semi cab to robot.

{{-}}
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Spychanger, 2007)

:This toy is a redeco of ''[[Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' Spychanger [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], painted to resemble ''Movie'' Optimus Prime. Of note is the [[Tampograph|tampographed]] detailing on his chest resembling ''Movie'' Prime's distinctive chest design. He was only available exclusively in Japan with a pre-order for the ''[[Transformers (2007)|Transformers]]'' DVD and HD-DVD.

{{-}}
====Micro IR ''Transformers'' Cars====
[[Image:Movie OptimusPrime MicroIR.jpg|right|150px|thumb|That gun doesn't look very safe...]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (2007)

: Made under license by [[RadioShack]]. The three-function infrared remote, in Optimus Prime's signature colors, gives you control of the truck with forward and reverse turn movement. More than just a truck styled after the Movie character, it also transforms to robot mode. The top of the gun-shaped IR remote serves as a display stand, though the gun itself can't stand freely. The tip of the gun can also unscrews to reveal a hidden ball-point pen.

{{-}}
===Titanium Series===
[[Image:Movie TitaniumRM Prime.jpg|right|130px|thumb|"Groovy!"]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (3" Robot Masters, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' Movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.

: Partially constructed of die-cast metal, this small three inch figurine of Optimus Prime has a CGI-accurate sculpt compared to the larger toys, owing to the fact it does not need to transform at all. He is sculpted with his Ion Blaster in his right fist, and is articulated at the neck, shoulders and waist. He comes with a small movie-style Autobot sigil display stand.

{{-}}
*'''Ultimate Optimus Prime 3-Pack''' (3" Robot Masters multi-pack, 2007)

: This Target-exclusive set contains the normal 3" [[Titanium Series]] Optimus Prime figurine (see above), a Protoform Optimus Prime figurine, and Optimus Prime in his Earth-mode truck form, making this the first time a character has appeared in their alternate mode as part of the Robot Masters sub-series.

{{-}}
===Revenge of the Fallen===
====Legends Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Legends OptimusPrime.jpg|right|150px|thumb|AT LAST! Two smokestacks!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Legends, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''EZ-01'''
[[Image:ROTF Legends Prime Jetfire combo.jpg|thumb|left|Don't I look awesome with my corpse backpack?]]
:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Legends class Optimus Prime is an all-new, much more accurate mold compared to the 2007 Legends class Prime, having a much greater accuracy in both robot and vehicle mode. In particular, his vehicle mode isn't inexplicably missing one smokestack like the 2007 toy.

: The top of the truck's bunk (ending up on his back in robot mode) has a slot to combine with [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]].

: During the May 30 launch event for the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline in [[Japan]], Legends Optimus were given out to attendees. The only difference is a sticker on the packaging commemorating the event.

**''Accessories:'' 2 rifle/smokestack-fuel tank assemblies, 2 missiles

:Voyager Optimus Prime is a [[redeco]] of the the toy from the [[Movie (toyline)|first movie's toyline]]. Like several redecos or retools of 2007 movie toys, there has been some effort to make this release noticeably different from the previous releases, though the toy ends up looking less accurate to the actual movie appearance than those previous releases. Optimus Prime has a sort of faded Autobot sigil on the side of the truck's bunk, and Chinese characters on the roof (ending up on his knee in robot mode.) The word "上海将军" means "Shanghai general" while "大将" means "big general".

=====Mini-figure=====

*'''Stratosphere''' (Voyager, 2009)
:Voyager class [[Stratosphere]] comes with a transformable Optimus Prime mini-figure that deploys from his cargo bay, based upon scenes from the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' movie.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:ROTF Leader OptimusPrime.jpg|right|300px|thumb|I will not stop telling you that I am Optimus Prime. Ever!]]
*'''Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-01'''

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Leader Class Optimus Prime is an entirely different mold from the first movie's Leader Class Optimus Prime. While striving for vehicle realism and painstaking accuracy to his visual portrayal in the live-action films, this Optimus Prime is so complex even the instructions won't help, transforming him back into a truck can be considered ''torture''. Like the previous Prime, it is loaded with features, though it ditches the first movie's [[Automorph]]ing for the new [[Mech Alive]] gimmick. When a grey tab on his midriff is pressed, Prime's entire pectoral region "flexes", lights in his chest and eyes glow, and he declares "I am Optimus Prime" in [[Peter Cullen]]'s voice (for the European release of the figure, to get past the language barrier, the figure simply says its name, sans the "I am"). A transformation sound effect activates when his torso is transformed, and once Prime is in truck mode, an almost unnoticeable button (a small square located beside the screw for the battery compartment, undocumented in his instructions) is revealed, which activates engine-revving noises. Each arm features flip-out blades that trigger when a button on the forearm is pressed. Each of these blades has a [[Cyberglyphics|Cyberglyphic]] symbol on it. There is little you can do with his arms without deploying his blades, because most of his articulation is blocked by his blades getting in the way of his arm kibble. One detail not reflected in most of Hasbro's photos is that the sun visors above Prime's windows are mounted on ball joints and can be positioned like they are in his CG design. The blue panels at the back of Prime's lower legs can be pull out slightly as well.

[[Image:HasbroCEO.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Being the boss is even better when you can rub everyone's nose in it.]]

:Like several new-mold ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted [[prototype]], the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have.

:One of these prototypes was featured alongside [[Hasbro]] CEO [[Brian Goldner]] on the cover of the February 2009 edition of ''License! Global'' magazine.

:The TakaraTomy release of Optimus Prime replaces the red plastic from his neck down to the middle of his pectorals with gray plastic. The smokestacks also are a different shade of gray, and are more opaque than the Hasbro release.

{{-}}

*'''Limited Edition Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)

:This release of Optimus Prime was available at the May 23, 2009 midnight launch of the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline at the [[Shanghai]] Toys 'R' Us. Limited to 576 pieces, this piece was presented in a wooden box with a numbered certificate, Autobot sigil dog tag, and of course, the leader class Optimus Prime toy. The toy itself was unchanged.

*'''Buster Optimus Prime''' (Leader, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-24'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 fuel tank/exhaust assemblies - combine into [[Ion blaster]]/[[Barrage cannon]]

:This version of Leader class Optimus Prime features a new head sculpt that lacks a [[faceplate]], as well as the replacement of his fuel tank/exhaust assemblies with new, transforming versions that can combine into his ion blaster/barrage cannon. To the simultaneous pleasure and displeasure of people who had already purchased the first release of Leader class ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Optimus Prime, Buster Optimus Prime features an extensive paint job that closely matches Prime's appearance on the big screen, including covering almost all of his grey plastic with silver paint, outlining all of the flame tampographs silver, expanding the flame tampographs to film accuracy, and generally painting in small details, nooks and crannies that were neglected on the first release due to costing reasons.

**''Accessories:'' Projectile

:Double Blade Optimus Prime is an all-new [[Fast Action Battler]]s version of Optimus Prime, with a much more accurate sculpt and a less-inaccurate transformation. He features two spring-loaded energy swords and a projectile launcher.

:For whatever reason, his elbows have been molded so as not to bend, despite actually having real pinned elbow joints. The plastic section in the way, however, can be easily sliced out to restore full functionality.

:Optimus Prime is a 54-point "Rare" piece in the [[3D Battle-Card Game]]. Constructed of punch-out pieces from randomly packed plastic cards (two full robots per pack), he can be assembled into his truck mode or into a long-legged robot mode.

:His card construction was not reused.

Also available was an [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] and [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]-shaped gummy candies.

{{-}}
[[Image:MoviePrime Voicechanger helmet.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Hardly ''anyone'' was wearing these damn things at [[BotCon 2007]].]]
===='''Optimus Prime Voice Changer'''====

:A highly CG-accurate sculpt of Optimus Prime's head with a built in voice-changer. It also has several sound effects and quotes from the movie. The voice-changer has three settings, giving more accurate alteration of the user's voice (though this is still debatable; most voice changing technology is pretty crummy, at least in toys). Much like the Ultimate Bumblebee figure, this toy will hate your wallet too. While it only costs 30 bucks, if it's anything like another Hasbro voice changer, it will suck batteries up like they were [[Energon Cube|some kind of square candy holder.]]

: There are two versions of the voice changer helmet with two different pre-recorded voices. An earlier release features the voice of [[Ron Hayden]], while the later release features the voice of [[Peter Cullen]]. The latter version has modified packaging under the 'Try Me!' blurb, stating it has 'Real Movie Voice!', though the updated version has also appeared in the original packaging without the 'Real Movie Voice!' notice.

[[Image:MoviePrime BattleRigBlaster.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Nor carrying these!]]
*'''Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster''' (2007)
**''Accessories:''

:The Optimus Prime Battle Rig Blaster transforms from a superdeformed amalgamation of his ''Movie'' truck and G1 Optimus Prime's truck (indeed pulling G1 Prime's trailer) to a fully G1 robotic forearm and hand with a built in Nerf style gun. By simply placing your hand inside the back of the trailer (I need an adult!) and pulling back on the front of the truck, the gun transforms and folds back into a weapon. It comes with three [[Nerf]] N-Strike size whistle darts which can be stored inside the trailer. Although not shown in the image, the truck front splits in half in gun-mode, while the grille acts as a sight. This toy was marketed as 'Optimus Prime Big Rig Blaster' overseas.

*'''Optimus Prime''' Burger King free toy (2007)

:The BK tie in toy of Optimus Prime is essentially two toys in one. The first part of the toy consists of two truck halves, which snap together around a sculpted robot mode Optimus Prime. The truck is squat, and primarily blue, with outbursts of chalk gray paint and red flames. Pulling back and letting go activates the gimmick: Prime "drives" forward and bursts from the truck mode, "transformed" to robot mode. This gimmick has marginal success.

:The "robot mode" of Optimus Prime is where the pullback motor and working wheels of the toys lie. Optimus is sculpted in blue plastic, pre-posed in an odd crouching pose with zero points of articulation. His right knee is bent back, with his right arm touching his knee, while the left side has the leg forward and the left hand holding onto his butt. The toy is as sparsely painted as the truck, with light blue eyes and chest windows, gray hands and feet among other parts, and red forearms. Two panels on his back have red flame tongues on them.

====Battling Robots Bubble Bath====

*'''Optimus Prime''' (2007)

:Optimus Prime's torso attaches to the bottle of bubble bath. His elbows bend, and his arms have a punching gimmick, to allow him to battle evil even in the shower. Pushing a lever on either side makes the respective fist punch forward. He's removable, though not as easily held without the bottle below his waist.

: Packaged with [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]], Optimus Prime is the standard [[Robot Heroes|Robot Hero]] style of cute and cuddly. His arm is in the Ion Cannon mode, and unlike many Robot Heroes, he's not crouching. He's highly posable for a Robot Hero figure, featuring four points of articulation: both shoulders swivel, his neck turns, and he has a waist joint. This toy was later redecoed into Best Buy Exclusive "Battle Damage" Optimus Prime and Walmart Exclusive "Allspark Power" Optimus Prime.

: Packaged with [[Scorponok (Movie)|Scorponok]], Optimus Prime is now brandishing his sword arm weapon instead of the Ion Cannon. Sadly, the weapon is not film-accurate, being silver instead of orange. Notably, this is the only piece of Optimus Prime merchandise to have a mouth instead of a mouthplate. It is articulated at the neck and shoulders.

Superion (G1)

2009-06-21T21:25:14Z

Timmantha: /* G1 Series */

{{factions|autobot|autobotg2}}
{{disambig3|Superion}}
:''Superion is an [[Autobot]] combiner in the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Superion studioox.jpg|right|210px|thumb|I MUST SUCCEED!]]
'''Superion''' is the combined form of the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]]:

*[[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]]
*[[Air Raid (G1)|Air Raid]]
*[[Fireflight (G1)|Fireflight]]
*[[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)|Skydive]]
*[[Slingshot]]

In his combined form, his thought capacity is reduced to two things: destroy the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]], and protect the [[Human|humans]]. Because of this, he sometimes has difficulty adapting to new situations.

In all continuities he is depicted as being the chief rival and equal of [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. However, this makes more poetic than literal sense, as the [[Scale|real-life scale difference]] between their component vehicle parts would suggest a rather drastic disparity in actual stature.

:''Portuguese name (Brazil comic):'' '''Superior'''

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Frank Welker]] → [[Ed Gilbert]] (English), [[Tomomichi Nishimura]] (Japanese)

Silverbolt showed the rest of the Aerialbots how [[Sparkplug Witwicky|Sparkplug]] was able to disregard his fatigue out of concern for [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]'s well-being, thus demonstrating to his teammates that humans were worth saving. With that knowledge, the Aerialbots joined the Autobots in battle against [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s [[Stunticon|Stunticons]]. The [[Decepticon]] leader, seeing his new warriors being outmaneuvered, ordered them to merge and form [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. The Aerialbots countered to form Superion.

At first, Superion was able to match Menasor, but the Decepticon combiner's sheer aggression soon saw the Autobot on the defensive until he was trapped. As Menasor moved in for the kill, the newly-repaired Omega Supreme suddenly appeared, helping Superion get free. Together, they defeated Menasor and sent the Decepticons into retreat. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

Weeks later on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Superion had to fight against a damaged [[Guardian robot]], whose immense strength pinned the Autobot down until he managed to knock the drone into the sky, destroying it. {{storylink|War Dawn|War Dawn}}

A battle in the Middle East pitted Superion against [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. They were evenly matched but Superion won by separating just as Bruticus charged him (and fell into an oilfield). {{storylink|Aerial Assault|Aerial Assault}}

While defending the Statue of Liberty, Superion got a second attempt at defeating Menasor. This battle went a lot better for him, as he singlehandedly defeated Menasor and destroyed Megatron's [[Lightning Bug]] weapon. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}

{{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}}

Superion was part of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]]'s team which prevented the Decepticons from using a comet to destroy [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]. After the group was shot down over [[Eurythma]], Superion continued to fight the Decepticons until [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] incapacitated all of the Autobots using a harmonic weapon he'd obtained from the natives. {{storylink|Carnage in C-Minor|Carnage in C-Minor}}

===Marvel Comics continuity===
{{note|Events from the [[The Transformers (Marvel Comics)|UK-only]] comic stories are in italics.}}
''Superion was first depicted in a series of visions experienced by [[Buster Witwicky]], the Autobots' human friend who had once contained the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]] itself within his brain. After a particularly serious nightmare, Buster subconsciously drew the image of a five-jet combiner robot, a design far more sophisticated than what had been achieved by Cybertronian science up 'til that point. {{storylink|Devastation Derby!|Devastation Derby!}} Another series of surreal dream images from Buster's mind saw the jet combiner in action, first destroying the Decepticon commander [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] who had recently bedeviled Buster, and then fighting against a new car-robot combiner. Realizing these dreams were in fact unfocused visions from the Creation Matrix itself, Optimus Prime decided to mind-link with Buster during his next bout of REM sleep, guiding the visions into a more coherent stream of information. The link was successful, and Prime and Buster observed Superion fighting alongside his fellow combiner [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] against their Decepticon opposite numbers, [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]] and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]. Relating this information to [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], Optimus and his chief engineer began planning on how to make these dreams into reality. {{storylink|Second Generation!|Second Generation!}}''

After a successful siege on the Decepticon mining base enabled [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] to record the transformation sequence of the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] forming [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], Wheeljack went to work reverse-engineering and refining the process to create the Autobot Aerialbots and their combined form, Superion. {{storylink|Command Performances!|Command Performances!}} Unfortunately, the Aerialbots were called into action at Hoover Dam before the personality programming could be completed. Only Silverbolt had been inputted with the necessary protocols that caused him to respect life and protect the humans at all costs. When the Aerialbots were forced to combine in order to destroy a massive energy drill sent over by the [[Space Bridge]], Superion was confronted with a human pawn named [[Ricky Vasquez]] carrying [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] in gun mode, infused with a [[cerebro-shell]] that forced him to obey the Decepticons' will. Still, Vasquez had begun to fight the Decepticons' control over him, and he tried to resist Megatron's order to shoot Superion. Seeing the human as a danger to his mission, Superion attempted to crush Vasquez and end the threat, but Silverbolt loudly cried out against that course of action inside his head. Strangely, Vasquez and Superion ended up not fighting each other, but themselves, frozen in mid-action as they fought against their own inner drives. Ultimately, Silverbolt forcibly disengaged Superion rather than risk harming an innocent life. {{storylink|Aerialbots over America!|Aerialbots over America!}}

Following the near fatality at Hoover Dam, the Autobots erased the Aerialbots' programming and memories, reconstructing their minds from scratch and giving them an infusion of Matrix energy to start over again. Superion next saw action against the Decepticon combiner known as Menasor, fighting to protect his comrade [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and their human ally, [[Donny Finkleberg]]. Their fight was cut short, however, when the monomaniacal [[RAAT]] agent named [[Circuit Breaker]] used her powers to overload Superion's circuitry, leaving him open to a blast from Menasor's [[cyclone gun]]. The RAAT agents managed to dismantle the combiner into his separate Aerialbot bodies and took them all captive along with several other Autobots. The Autobots were only released after Circuit Breaker was forced to make a deal with them in order to end the threat of the rampaging [[Battlecharger|Battlechargers]]. {{storylink|Decepticon Graffiti!|Decepticon Graffiti!}}

When Optimus Prime determined that a new human construction named [[Power Station Alpha]] might tempt the Decepticons into action, he sent Bumblebee to attend the unveiling as a precautionary surveillance measure. Sure enough, [[Bombshell]] made an appearance, and so Optimus sent Silverbolt and the Aerialbots as back-up. They arrived just in time to see Bumblebee being blown away by the [[G.I. Joe]] team guarding Power Station Alpha. Assuming their Superion form, the Aerialbots attempted to threaten the humans into allowing them to retrieve Bumblebee's body. An intense but one-sided conflict raged between Superion and the Joes until he received a signal from [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], conveying the horrific news that Optimus Prime had died in battle while the Aerialbots were on their mission. Superion immediately disengaged and returned to the Ark. {{storylink|Power Struggle|Power Struggle}}

A short time later, the Autobots joined forces with both G.I. Joe and [[Cobra]] against the Decepticons, who planned to use Power Station Alpha to destroy the world. The Aerialbots entered the battle and became Superion to pit their strength against the mighty Devastator. Superion eventually scored the winning shot when his [[stress fracture cannon]] caused a malfunction in Devastator's coupling links, forcing him back into his individual Constructicon modes. {{storylink|...All Fall Down!|...All Fall Down!}}

''Later, the Aerialbots confronted Menasor again, only this time their fusion into Superion let slip Silverbolt's secret shame, and his fear of heights was shared with his fellow Aerialbots by the [[Combiner|fusilateral quintrocombination]]. Horrified at being found out, Silverbolt caused Superion to lash out at Menasor with such savagery that they very nearly harmed the very humans they had come to save. {{storylink|Perchance to Dream|Perchance to Dream}}''

====Earthforce====
{{note|These stories do not fit into the normal Marvel continuity. See [[Earthforce]] for details.}}
''At one point after the Aerialbots joined Earthforce, Superion was struck with a cerebro-shell, courtesy of the Insecticon named Bombshell, and he began to run amok, crashing through sparsely populated areas on a beeline towards major human population centers. The Autobots were unable to stop him through sheer force, so they enlisted the help of a human reporter named [[Irwin Spoon]], giving him instructions on how to infiltrate Superion's exo-structure and manually pull the cerebro-shell out of his circuitry. Spoon succeeded in the nick of time, freeing Superion's thought processes right as he reached a local township. {{storylink|Inside Story!|Inside Story!}}''

After [[Robert Hallo|General Hallo]] and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] revived [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], Superion was one of several warriors that the Autobot leader called upon from the depths of the sea. Superion served as the Autobots' heavy hitter in their mission to stop [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s mad plan to infect the world with technomatter virus similar to the effect the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] had on organic life. During this crisis, Superion fought with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] before being forced back into his individual component robots. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 4}}

Hallo launched a nuclear missile at [[San Francisco]] in an attempt to destroy all the Transformers, and Superion sacrificed his life to save the city by ramming the missile over the Pacific Ocean. {{storylink|Prime Directive issue 6}} ''Superion's faceplate was recovered from the Pacific Ocean and incorporated into [[Hugo Fortuna]]'s private collection of Cybertronian and Cybertronian-derived technology. Fortuna's collection was uncovered by [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and [[Franklin Townsend]] while they were investigating the mysterious disappearance of several Transformers. {{storylink|Hardwired}}'' Like Devastator, Superion's remains were later taken in by [[Earth Defense Command]] for study. {{storylink|Generation One issue 0}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:Superion toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Guaranteed to break within 10 minutes of play.]]
*'''Superion''' (Multi-pack, 1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-55'''
**''Accessories:'' Head, fists, feet, chest plate, waist plate, gun, Slingshot's gun, Fireflight's gun, Air Raid's gun, Sky Dive's gun

:Superion is formed out of all five Aerialbot toys, with Silverbolt serving as the central body component, and the four smaller team members as limbs, using additional attachments for Superion's hands and feet. A helmet covers Silverbolt's head and a red waist plate attaches onto his chest piece. He carries Silverbolt's rifle as his main weapon.

:Due to Silverbolt forming his torso, his design weaknesses are carried over to Superion. Additionally, as Silverbolt has rather thin legs, this leads to Superion having very thin thighs. His height coupled with the weight of his limbs can make Superion lean back, putting stress upon Silverbolt's weak and flimsy waist hinges.

:Superion is also a [[Combiners|Scramble City]]-type combiner, meaning his limbs can be interchanged. Just don't put any [[Scramble City|Stunticon limbs on him]], 'kay?

===Generation 2===
*'''Superion''' (Watch, 1993)
{{charstubtoys}}
{{-}}

*'''Superion''' (1994)

[[Image:G2superion toy.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Guaranteed to break within 10 minutes of play... In TECHNICOLOR!]]
:As part of ''[[Generation 2]]'', Superion was [[Redeco|redecoed]] in colours deemed popular in products of the time, or something like that. Silverbolt's white is replaced by light blue, Slingshot is gold, Fireflight a much darker red, Sky Dive silver and Air Raid blue. Superion could now wield two spring-loaded missile launchers that came with Silverbolt.

:Unlike his original release, ''Generation 2'' Silverbolt was only available by purchasing all five Aerialbots.

===Universe (2008)===
====G1 Series====
[[Image:Universe2008 Superion.jpg|right|250px|thumb|]]
*'''Superion''' (Multi-pack, 2008)

: ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' Superion is a redeco of ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Air Team]]/[[Superion Maximus]] combiner, along the same lines as ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' [[Devastator (G1)|Constructicon Devastator]]. Although most of the original Aerialbot characters return in this set, "Airazor" replaces [[Slingshot]]. As the brief character description on the back of the box fits Slingshot, this is probably a name change, not a new character.

:This mold was later sold as the Target-[[exclusive]] ''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]] with no changes. ROTF Superion sold in Zellers stores in Canada.

==Trivia==
*A Superion [[Action Master]] was planned at one point, but apparently went no further than a concept sketch. It was intended to be the included rider of a transforming motorcycle<ref>[[Transformers Generations Deluxe]], p110</ref>. Strangely, the body was based on the animation model while the head was taken from the toy. The motorcycle shown in the concept art is based on Action Master [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s [[Turbo Cycle]].
*In the G2 toy commercial, [[Garry Chalk]] played the voice of Superion.
*Given that his patent varies the most from the final version in terms of how the individual robots connect to each other, it is fair to assume that Superion was the first [[Scramble City]]-style combiner to be designed.<ref>[http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=JP61115590&F=0&QPN=JP61115590 Patent #JP61-115590]</ref>
*Also of interest in the same patent application is that Superion is composed of five fighter jets, as opposed to four jets and a core passenger plane.
*'Superion' is a partial Latinization of [[wikipedia:Hyperion_(mythology)|Hyperion]], the name of a Titan in Greek mythology associated with the sun. The fully Latinized form would be 'Superio'. If following classical pronunciation, the last syllable of 'Superion' should rhyme with 'bone', not 'gone'.
